I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Xue Jing spoke slowly.

"If I have even the slightest thought, it will burn you to ashes."

"I can control the distance between it and the target distance, which is two hundred meters."

"This doesn't mean you'll be safe once you're 200 meters away from me... Once you're beyond that distance, it will slip out of my control and detonate instantly, burning you to death just the same."

An Luping broke out in a cold sweat.

"It will remain inside you until my eyes see the celery."

An Luping said in a trembling voice, "But... if I die, you will never see Yunqin again."

Xue Jing glanced at him:

"Mr. An, you don't think I'm negotiating with you, or that I'm just bluffing and don't dare to really kill you, do you?"

Xue Jing reached out and patted his shoulder, a smile in his eyes.

"Words can reveal far more information than you think."

"You just said that Yunqin will starve to death soon if you don't bring her food... right?"

An Luping's pupils contracted.

"It seems I guessed right... She is in Yuancheng, and even very close to you."

Xue Jing spoke calmly and softly.

“Mr. An, you may not know this, but I am actually a member of the Sixth Agency, and I belong to the two special forces of the Sixth Agency’s Special Operations Department: ‘Zhige’ and ‘Baiya’.”

"Fortunately, these two special forces have extremely high authority, even capable of conducting large-scale, carpet-style searches of the entire city... Even more fortunately, the commanders of these two special forces admire me and are eager to recruit me completely."

As Xue Jing spoke, An Luping's forehead became increasingly covered in cold sweat.

"With your capabilities, it's unlikely you could hide someone in a high-security residential area for the powerful or on the grounds of a large company. That would make the investigation much easier."

Xue Jing's gaze gradually turned cold, and a murderous aura emanated from his body, slowly cutting into An Luping's body like a sharp knife, even causing him to experience phantom pain.

"I'll say it again, I'm not consulting with you."

"Either you die or I'll go to the trouble of finding Yunqin... but I'm actually quite lazy and don't really want to go through all that trouble. So, if you take me there now, I'll take back the black flames in your body and spare your life."

"As long as you never appear in front of me again, I will not kill you."

"Don't worry, I'm different from people like you. Keeping my word is my motto, and I won't renege on my promises."

Xue Jing said softly.

"How about it? This is a great deal, isn't it?"

An Luping was filled with anxiety and had lost his composure.

He never imagined things would turn out this way.

It was just a piece of information that was unintentionally revealed in a sentence, yet it has led to this predicament.

Is this person really a seventeen-year-old boy?

"I……"

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

Seeing this, Xue Jing shook his head and sighed, "It seems you rejected this suggestion... Oh well, that's fine too. After all, I don't really want to spare someone like you. I'll just find someone myself."

He raised his right hand, making a snapping gesture.

"three."

"two."

"one……"

"Wait a minute, I promise, I promise!!"

An Luping shouted anxiously, his voice almost breaking, hoarse and exhausted.

Xue Jing's expression remained unchanged as he said softly, "You agreed a little late."

"Snapped--"

The fingers snapped.

Instantly, An Luping felt an extremely terrifying pain throughout his body, as if countless ferocious ants were frantically gnawing at his flesh.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

He screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground and thrashing about like a fish out of water, his face contorted in pain.

He forced himself to sit up and pleaded with Xue Jing, "Please... Brother Xue, I promise, stop, please stop..."

Xue Jing looked down at him with a cold gaze, as if he were looking at a dead man.

“I really promise… I’ll take you to Yunqin right away… I also know a lot of information about the Dragon Cult, I can tell you everything…”

Seeing that Xue Jing remained unmoved, An Luping panicked even more and hurriedly began to keep adding chips.

"I...I still have money, I can give you anything..."

Xue Jing only waved his hand and stopped the annihilation burning of the Shadow Flame within An Luping when An Luping began to become somewhat delirious and babbling incoherently.

"Hahaha……"

An Luping lay on the ground, panting heavily, his whole body trembling.

His mind was taut to the extreme, on the verge of collapse, in a moment of despair and utter collapse, when Xue Jing precisely seized the opportunity and pulled him back.

At this moment, the extreme instinct for survival brought about by surviving the ordeal made him no longer dare to harbor any illusions.

He forced himself to stand up, his body riddled with wounds, and looked at the terrifying boy in front of him, his heart filled with extreme fear.

I now have a deep understanding of why he has the nickname "Demon King".

"Lead the way."

Xue Jing spoke softly.

His tone was as casual as if he were chatting with a friend, but to An Luping at that moment, it sent a shiver down his spine, made him shrink back, and he quickly said:

"Yes...please, please follow me..."

……

Yuancheng, C16 District, at the entrance of an ordinary-looking residential building.

Xue Jing followed behind An Luping, looking up at his surroundings.

Areas starting with C are relatively low-income areas, with buildings and facilities generally looking worse than those in areas B and A, and fewer passersby carrying xenografts.

As An Luping opened the door, Xue Jing followed him inside.

"Yunqin is in the basement..."

An Luping pointed to a hidden spot covered by a carpet and spoke in a trembling voice.

Upon arriving here, Xue Jing no longer needed any prompting. He had already begun his visualization, taking in the surrounding environment and clearly 'seeing' a life force not far from his feet.

As the visualized image gradually becomes clearer, the image of life's reactions is also gradually outlined by him.

It was a little girl squatting on the ground, whose appearance was exactly like Yunqin, whom Xue Jing had seen before.

"...You, you said you would spare my life."

Xue Jing glanced at him and snapped his fingers.

Wisps of black flame continuously emerged from An Luping's eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and seven orifices, and soon all of them disappeared into the air.

Feeling that the coldness in his body had disappeared, An Luping even felt a sense of gratitude and emotion.

He actually kept his promise; he truly is a man of his word!

What a good person...

An Luping had a strange urge to kneel down and thank Xue Jing, as if he were facing his savior.

He suppressed the urge and stammered, "Then... can I leave now?"

Xue Jing said softly, "Well, what matters most in life is integrity. You can go now. Next time I see you, I won't hold back."

An Luping was in tears: "Thank you, thank you so much..."

He wiped away his tears and scrambled outside.

When he stepped out the door, left the dark house, and saw the sunlight... even though it was just a dim sunset, he had never felt that the sunlight looked so beautiful.

You must cherish this life and never provoke such a terrifying monster again. Stay far away and never appear in front of that person again for the rest of your life...

An Luping took a deep breath. His body, scorched by the black flames and riddled with holes, was in excruciating pain. He turned at the intersection, intending to go to the hospital first.

Just after turning the corner, he suddenly saw a familiar figure with his back to him, seemingly waiting for him there.

An Luping's eyes widened in disbelief, then he suddenly realized something and let out a desperate, bitter laugh.

"Ha...haha, hahahaha!"

Xue Jing slowly turned around, looked at An Luping who was staring blankly, drooling, and chuckled:

"What a coincidence, Mr. An, we meet again."

"Ok?"

Seeing An Luping's eyes lose their luster, he started to laugh meaninglessly, and he looked completely foolish, Xue Jing was slightly taken aback.

"The old man has such a weak mentality."

He shook his head. He had originally wanted to ask him about the Dragon Cult, to see if he could get a position or something, and then go there and wipe them out.

But seeing An Luping like this now, even if he were cured he would still be drooling, so let's just forget about it.

Xue Jing stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, grabbed An Luping by the neck, and lifted him high.
