My Endless Life.

Chapter 215 Self-destruction again
He Ru is also a congenital one! ?
Seeing He Ru's energy surging, Li Qi was also startled.

But there was no panic.

Although Li Qi's hard power is only at the seventh level, with other means, he can compete with the sixth level!
In a split second, Li Qi had already thought of a countermeasure.

He first took out the defensive talisman of "Hard Skin Technique" from his pocket, then operated the folding mechanism hidden under his robe to block his vital points, and then looked at He Ru who had revealed her true form.

After regaining her original form and strength, He Ru did not take action immediately. She sneered at Li Qi and said:

"Li Zhen! Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will break your limbs with my own hands, and then let you be my furnace! Before I suck you dry... I will never kill you!"

She spoke words like a tiger and a wolf, and pounced towards Li Qi with great ferocity!
The swelled upper body and the snake tail made He Ru look like a giant snake monster nearly three meters tall. She pounced towards Li Qi, giving people a very strong sense of oppression.

In the moonlight, He Ru's body shadow cast on Li Qi.

Li Qi's eyes fixed, and he was about to take action to deal with He Ru.

Suddenly, there was a flash of sword light, and a figure appeared from behind He Ru and came in front of Li Qi.

The figure held a long sword with the tip of the sword pointing at the ground, facing Li Qi and with his back to He Ru.

The sudden appearance of the figure made He Ru stunned for a moment, but the next moment she said angrily:

"Where did this old man come from? How dare he stop me from doing this!"

Although He Ru couldn't see the man's face, she could see his white hair and the wrinkles on his hands, so she knew that he was an elderly man.

With an angry roar, He Ru was about to raise her hands to tear the old man in front of her to pieces. However, when she raised her hands, she found that her hands had been separated from her body at some point.

"...?"

Looking at her empty hands gushing blood, He Ru didn't understand what was going on for a moment.

Two breaths later, she heard Li Qi sigh:

"Uncle Zhong, I can handle her."

"No, Master, she is a congenital one, and your actual cultivation level is not even at the seventh level. I can't let you take this risk."

The man who was called Zhongbo by Li Qi spoke to him with concern.

During their conversation, He Ru gradually realized that something was wrong.

Not only were her hands chopped off by the man named Zhongbo, but her body was also cut off from the waist down!
During their conversation, He Ru's upper body began to slowly slide off her body. Only then did she realize that Zhong Bo had killed her when he arrived just now, but she herself did not realize it!

“Grand…master…? How could there be…a…grandmaster…!?”

He Ru fell to the ground. She looked at the white-haired old man with his back to her and made an unwilling sound.

The person who could easily kill me in an instant could only be a master-level warrior. But how could a master-level warrior appear in this small, broken city!
Moreover, judging from the Grandmaster's tone, he was actually the guard of the patrol envoy who claimed to be Li Zhen! ?

What kind of identity can allow a master to serve as a bodyguard?
He Ru couldn't understand.

The monster's vitality prevented her from dying immediately. She screamed at Li Qi and asked:

"who are you!!"

"you guess?"

Li Qi did not answer He Ru's question, nor did he tell her that Zhong Bo was not a master, but just had a talent close to that of a master.

Because there were dense footsteps coming from nearby, although the fight between Li Qi and He Ru was brief, it was enough for the nearby Six Gates detectives to react.

They quickly gathered together and came to Li Qi under the leadership of Jiang Ming.

"My Lord! What happened!?...!!!"

Jiang Ming, who was confused, asked this after he came to Li Qi.

Then he saw He Ru lying on the ground.

Looking at He Ru's current appearance and the snake tail still wriggling on the ground, Jiang Ming pointed at her in disbelief and said:

"Snake...snake snake...snake demon!! He Ru...is actually a snake demon!?"

When Jiang Ming arrived, Zhong Bo had disappeared again.

He protected Li Qi, and after making sure that He Ru no longer had the power to harm Li Qi, he hid in the shadows again and acted as Li Qi's guardian.

Li Qi looked at He Ru who was lying on the ground and sighed slightly.

Although he felt a little regretful that he could not kill or capture He Ru himself, things had come to this point and it was useless to think too much. He might as well ask for some key information while the other party was still alive.

He ignored Jiang Ming, stared at He Ru, and asked:
"What exactly is your identity? You just mentioned the 'guardian of the sect'... What is this 'sect'? And what about the golden elixir? What exactly is it!"

"Haha...haha...I spent all day playing mahjong but got pecked in the eye by a mahjong...Li Zhen...I don't care what your real identity is, I can only say that you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended...

"The Holy Church will not let you go...absolutely not! Hahahahaha!"

Perhaps knowing that she had no hope of survival, He Ru laughed out loud towards the sky.

As she smiled, the internal energy emanating from her body began to become unstable. Li Qi noticed this and immediately thought of the bat demon that tried to die with him that day, and immediately gave a stern order:

"Everyone get out of the way! Get down!!!"

After saying that, Li Qi was the first to leap back and lie down on the ground. Then, there was a sound of mechanisms operating on his body, and the iron-hard wooden blocks wrapped around his body.

Li Qi's response was quick and correct.

When he had made all preparations, He Ru's body suddenly exploded!

With a loud bang, the broken body burst out with huge energy, and the self-explosion was more violent than that of the bat spirit. The flames formed almost swept across the entire courtyard!
The quick-reacting constables around Li Qi, such as Jiang Ming and several eighth-grade warriors, responded quickly under Li Qi's orders and did not suffer any injuries.

Those who were slow to react were unlucky and were directly engulfed by the flames of the explosion. When the flames dissipated, only a bloody corpse was left.

Fortunately, those who were slow to react were only a minority, and the two or three people who died were only second-rate warriors, so it could not be considered a loss for the Six Gates.

After the explosion, everyone was still somewhat shaken.

Jiang Ming stared at the empty hole in the middle of the courtyard, feeling a lingering fear.

Fortunately, Li Qi reminded him in time. If he had been even a moment later, his fate would probably not be much better now.

Before Jiang Ming could calm down, he heard Li Qi's order: "Gather everyone! Grab your weapons and get ready. Let's go to the county magistrate's mansion!"

"County... County Magistrate's Mansion? Why...?"

"The county magistrate is that pig monster!"

"what?!"

When Jiang Ming heard the news given by Li Qi, he shouted in shock.

Li Qi had no intention of explaining to him.

He Ru's self-explosion was very powerful and the explosion was equally loud. If nothing unexpected happened, County Magistrate Qian would have heard the noise here.

He might not know that He Ru was dead, but he definitely knew that something happened to He Ru.

In order to prevent the county magistrate from realizing something was wrong and preparing to escape, Li Qi had to launch a surprise attack in advance and deal with the county magistrate first.

After all, He Ru is dead. If Li Qi wants to ask Jin Dan about the news of the "Holy Church" she mentioned, he can only go to the only person who knows the inside story.

That is the County Magistrate Qian who also turned into a monster.

……

The explosion at the Liushenmen Yamen was so loud that it could be heard clearly even in the County Magistrate's Mansion.

Master Liu was awakened by the explosion.

He put on his coat in a daze, picked up the oil lamp, opened the door and looked in the direction of the Liushenmen Yamen.

"What's going on? Is this...?"

Master Liu muttered to himself, shook his head and was about to go back to his room to rest and talk about it tomorrow, but suddenly he felt something was not right.

The entire county magistrate's mansion...is too quiet.

It is summer now, and usually in the middle of the night you can hear the sound of cicadas or other insects chirping.

At night, those flying insects would fly back and forth around the fire, which was really annoying.

But now Liu Zhi was holding an oil lamp in his hand, and the light dispelled the darkness around him, but he could not see any insects flying towards him because of the light.

Not only that, the entire county magistrate's mansion was eerily quiet and lifeless, making people shudder.

The summer evening breeze blew by, and Master Liu shuddered violently, and he became more awake. Feeling something was wrong, he immediately called his servants:
"Someone come! Someone come! Where are all the dead people?!"

Panic made Master Liu shout out.

But no matter how he shouted, no one around responded.

Seeing this, Master Liu panicked. He looked around the dark and empty corridor and ran towards the county magistrate's bedroom in panic.

When something bad might happen, people will instinctively run to someone who can protect them or who has more authority.

And in the County Magistrate's Mansion, the person who could best protect Master Liu and had the most authority was only County Magistrate Qian.

Lawyer Liu's bedroom was not far from the county magistrate's bedroom. After running for a while, Lawyer Liu arrived at the door of the county magistrate's bedroom.

"Sir!! Sir Qian!! Are you okay? Sir Qian!?"

The door of the county magistrate's room was locked. After Master Liu knocked twice without success, he could only shout outside.

But no one responded for a while.

Just when Master Liu thought that the county magistrate was about to get into trouble, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the county magistrate's room:
"…What's wrong?"

Although the voice was a little deeper, as if several people were speaking at the same time, it was indeed the voice of the county magistrate.

Liu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the county magistrate's voice. He quickly said:

"My Lord! Something seems to have happened at the Six Gates... Also, no one responded when I called the servants just now. I'm afraid the same thing is happening in this mansion..."

"Don't worry."

The deep voice continued to come from inside the house.

Master Liu was startled, not knowing why the county magistrate said that. He thought about it for a moment, then changed his mind and said:

"Could it be that those servants were sent by you, my lord, to do something else?"

"Roughly the same…"

Inside the house, the magistrate continued.

Just as Liu Zhi was about to continue asking questions, he heard the county magistrate say:

"...Liu Zhi, how long have you been following me?"

Liu Zhi didn't understand why the county magistrate asked this, but he still answered: "Your Excellency, it has been more than ten years."

Less than two years after the county magistrate arrived here, he entered the government office, and soon after that became a legal advisor. Up to now, it has been more than ten years.

"More than ten years..." the county magistrate muttered to himself, and then said: "In the past ten years...I have treated you well..."

"More than that! I am able to have my current position thanks to you, sir! You are my second parent!"

"Hahaha, great! What a great reborn parent! In that case... then I'll help you again!"

"?"

Liu Zhi was stunned and didn't understand what the county magistrate meant.

But before he could think about it, the door in front of him suddenly opened, and then a sturdy hand, twice as thick as his thigh, stretched out from it!
The fingers of that big hand were as thick as a human forearm, and with a grab of five fingers, Liu Zhi was caught in the hand.

In just two breaths, Liu Zhi was dragged into the room by the big hand.

boom!
Afterwards, the door was closed tightly, and there was no more movement in the county magistrate's mansion.
