The burly man opened his mouth as if he wanted to curse, but before the words could come out, his life had already left him.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at him several times, confirming that he was completely dead before turning his head to look at his aunt.

Jiang Yu'er stared in disbelief, her mouth wide open as if it could fit an egg, looking at her nephew in disbelief.

Zhang Yuanqing liked this expression. His gaze shifted downward and he noticed the middle-aged female doctor crouching under the table, trembling in fear. He swung his knife and knocked her unconscious.

The female doctor groaned and fell to the ground.

Zhang Yuanqing put away his knife, instinctively feeling that this was too impulsive and impolite, but also feeling that it was normal. He didn't think too much about it and looked at his aunt.

"Yuan, Yuanzi."

His aunt stammered, her watery eyes filled with astonishment and confusion, as if she couldn't accept the sudden appearance of her nephew.

But at the same time, amidst the astonishment and confusion, there was also the joy of having the person she trusted the most descend from the sky when she needed to be saved the most.

"Aunt, are you okay?"

Jiang Yu'er burst into tears, rushed into her nephew's arms, and sobbed softly.

Zhang Yuanqing gently stroked his aunt's back and comforted her in a low voice, "Now is not the time for explanations. Stay here and I will deal with those criminals. If you have any questions, come to my room tonight and we can talk then."

The criminals had caused such a big commotion that anyone who survived would have to sign a confidentiality agreement. And his aunt had witnessed the fire manipulator's actions and his own appearance, so it was impossible to hide the existence of "supernatural abilities" from her.

In addition, he had come in a hurry and didn't have time to disguise himself. Since the Spirit Realm didn't have an erasure mechanism, he decided to "reveal" his identity.

Zhang Yuanqing believed that there was no need to hide when saving family members. Not actively revealing his identity was just to avoid disrupting the peaceful life of his family. Now that she had been involved in the Spirit Realm Walker incident, it was better to let things take their course.

"Don't go," Jiang Yu'er tightly held onto her nephew's waist, fear in her voice. "They have guns."

Zhang Yuanqing wasn't used to such intimate contact and gently pushed her away, whispering, "There's a bomb downstairs. If we don't deal with them, everyone in the hospital will die. Trust me."

He put on a serious expression and saw his aunt sniffle and nod obediently. Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, it seems like I have a mature and domineering aura now. Even my aunt is intimidated by my presence.

He gestured for his aunt to sit in the chair and pondered on the next steps. He quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

Li Xianzong's disadvantage was time. He wouldn't dare to linger in the hospital for too long. Once the officials from other districts, even the elders, arrived, Li Xianzong would undoubtedly die.

So the idea of this bewitching demon was to force the "Primordial Heavenly Venerable" into the hospital in the shortest possible time and then detonate the bomb.

The bomb was the advantage of the criminals. Once it exploded, there would be countless casualties, making it headline news.

All the official Spirit Realm Walkers in Kangyang District would face disciplinary action.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to deal with the bomb.

"The remote control for the bomb is definitely not in Li Xianzong's hands. He dares to carry out this terrorist attack because he is using the idea of the "Servant" Yu Shi Ju Fen, a self-destructive attack. Li Xianzong wouldn't self-destruct. In the eyes of such people, how could the lives of ordinary people compare to their own?"

"There are five more criminals. I can't kill so many Spirit Realm Walkers in a short period of time. Locking onto the remote control is the key."

Zhang Yuanqing's train of thought was very clear, and he quickly formulated a plan. He would first kill the criminals who controlled the bomb, then deal with the bomb, and then proceed step by step.

As for how to lock onto the bomb's remote control, Zhang Yuanqing planned to ask the spirits and search for clues from this fire manipulator.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yuanqing's eyes turned pitch black. He communicated with the lingering spirit inside the corpse and summoned it out, swallowing it in one gulp.

Jiang Yu'er widened her eyes, her eyes slightly red, looking like a little girl who didn't understand the situation and didn't dare to ask.

After about ten seconds, Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes, his face extremely ugly.

There were two bombs, one on the first floor and one on the second floor. The remote control for the bomb on the first floor was in the hands of the criminal on the second floor, and the remote control for the bomb on the second floor was in the hands of the criminal on the first floor.

In other words, he had to kill both criminals who held the controllers at the same time.

"I can't kill the criminals on the second and first floors at the same time by myself. Should I ask Teng Yuan for help? No, once he enters the hospital lobby, the bomb will immediately explode."

Zhang Yuanqing took out his phone, quickly edited a message, and sent it to Li Dongze.

Then, he looked at his aunt and whispered, "Stay here and don't go out. If there's an explosion, don't panic."

His aunt obediently nodded, but worriedly said, "What about you?"

"I'll be fine," Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand and felt his phone vibrate. Li Dongze had sent a message:

"Captain Yuan will arrive in two minutes."

On the other side, outside the outpatient building, Teng Yuan, wearing a duckbill cap and a mask, pressed the button on the intercom."Li Xianzong, you should be able to see me."

A casual laughter came from the intercom: "How do I know if you are the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign? Take off your mask and hat and let me see."

Zhang Yuanqing replied calmly, "If I take off my mask and hat, will you be able to confirm it's me?"

"Makes sense!" Li Xianzong's laughter came through the intercom.

"Then I'll assume you are the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign. Now, here's a hint for you: there is a bomb installed under the inquiry desk on the first floor. In a few minutes, the bomb will automatically explode. The controller is with the person wearing a black coat. If you want to save the ordinary people in the hospital, act quickly."

"Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, let me see your skills."

Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand and pressed it against his ear, whispering, "Did you hear that?"

The wireless microphone transmitted Li Dongze's voice:

"He's lying to you. There are bombs on both the first and second floors, but the bomb controller for the first floor is in the hands of the thug on the second floor. Once you break in, the thug on the second floor will detonate the bomb on the first floor."

Zhang Yuanqing asked, "How do you know?"

Li Dongze replied, "The Primordial has already infiltrated the hospital. He assassinated one of the thugs and obtained information through interrogation."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "This kid is quite reassuring. I'll give him a raise later."

Li Dongze remained silent.

"I am the squad leader!"

Li Dongze said, "Don't go in yet. Pretend to hesitate. You can delay as long as possible. Li Xianzong is watching you."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "Calculating the time, the steward and the other teams will be here soon. Have you ever thought about why Li Xianzong dares to stay in the hospital? What gives him the confidence and assurance?"

Li Dongze replied, "Are you saying he has confidence in escaping?"

Halfway through, Li Dongze changed the topic, "Yuan Ting is here. Get ready to take action. Zhang Yuanqing, provide support as needed."

Zhang Yuanqing replied, "Understood."

"Yuan Ting has infiltrated the hospital. He is responsible for eliminating the thug on the first floor, and you are responsible for the second floor. Three seconds later, I will have Wang Tai cut off the surveillance system in the hospital."

Zhang Yuanqing's phone vibrated slightly. After reading the message, he silently counted in his heart, one, two, three.

He entered the night tour, rushing out like a wild horse.

In the monitoring room, Li Xianzong shifted his gaze away from Zhang Yuanqing. He first looked at the time, then scanned the first, second, and fourth floors.

He didn't have much time left. This tactic relied on timing differences. If he continued to delay, there would be no way out. He had at most five minutes to evacuate.

Thinking of this, Li Xianzong instinctively touched his pocket, confirming that the item was still there.

This item had no offensive capabilities, but its level was very high. Except for some special sealing methods, no one could trap him.

This was his confidence in taking risks and playing terrorist attacks. You should know that in a metropolis, unless you don't want to live, even experts at the Saint stage wouldn't dare to play like this.

He frowned suddenly and picked up the intercom.

"Number Four, let me see you. Number Four, let me see you."

There was silence in the intercom, and no one responded.

Li Xianzong raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's going on, Number Five?"

The thin man in the waiting hall on the fourth floor grabbed the intercom and replied with a smirk, "Number Four is busy with women inside. I heard he encountered an exceptional one."

"You go check it out. I suspect that the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign has already infiltrated." Wasn't he at the entrance?

Li Xianzong chuckled, "Do you believe what the authorities say?"

The thin man immediately released the hostage and walked towards the obstetrics and gynecology corridor. At the same time, Li Xianzong saw the surveillance screens flickering and turning into static on the first, second, and fourth floors.

They're here! Li Xianzong gave orders through the intercom:

"Someone has cut off the surveillance. Detonate the bomb immediately!

Someone has cut off the surveillance. Detonate the bomb immediately!"

The thug on the second floor received the message from the intercom. One of them, with dark skin and taciturn, didn't hesitate at all and reached for his pocket.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Ever since he learned that Black Impermanence was killed and the Holy Grail fell into the hands of the authorities, his life was filled with despair.

A life of despair should bloom into a brilliant spark at the end.

"Bang! Bang!"

Just as his finger touched the detonator, two bullets exploded in his head. The impact and burst of flames caused the man's body to stagger and stumble backward.

The imagined scene of brain matter splattering did not occur. This was a clay monster.

Behind the two men, the figure of the attacker appeared. He looked young with a face covered in black and red scorch marks.

Facing the sudden attack, the two thugs were mentally prepared. One raised his gun to shoot, while the other continued the interrupted "detonation process."

"Bang! Bang!"

The bullets hit the assailant, but it was like hitting a reflection.

Zhang Yuanqing, hiding in the corner, took out the "Scarecrow." The face of the scarecrow twisted and changed, growing eyes and a nose, resembling the appearance of a clay monster.

Zhang Yuanqing pinched the scarecrow's head with two fingers and exerted force.

The scarecrow showed an expression of "pain."The next second, the earth monster suddenly clutched its throat, making a difficult "hehe" sound, its face shrouded in a layer of ashen color.

Various negative emotions flashed through its mind, anger, pain, killing, hatred, sadness. The earth monster's sanity was lost in its fall, turning into a beast dominated by negative emotions.

It locked its target on the only other dangerous thug and pounced on him.

"Damn!"

The gloomy companion cursed, retreating while aiming his gun at the earth monster and pulling the trigger.

"Bang bang bang"

Bullets hit the earth monster's head one by one, like hitting a steel armor, bullets ricocheted, causing the surrounding hostages to panic, scream, and flee in disarray.

The gloomy man dropped the empty gun, dodged the earth monster's unorganized fist with a swift move, and reached for the other's pocket.

He wanted to get the detonator.

At this moment, the gloomy man caught a glimpse of the attacker reappearing from the corner of his eye, appearing a few meters to his left. Unlike the previous illusion, the attacker now wore a pair of black-framed glasses.

The attacker raised his gun and aimed at him.

Bang!

The large-caliber handgun spewed out smoke and flames, and the red bullet spun at high speed, splashing water on the thug's body, like a stone thrown into a pond.

This was a water ghost!

He could temporarily ignore any physical attack.

The gloomy man showed a mocking smile to the attacker, he successfully reached into the earth monster's pocket.

But at this moment, the attacker dropped his gun, and a pair of red half-finger gloves appeared in his hands out of nowhere. He clenched his fists and slammed them against his chest.

"Boom!"

Flames and heat waves rolled, as if a high-explosive grenade exploded in the waiting room. The shock wave shook the walls, and the flames licked the flammable items.

The water ghost and the earth monster were both blown away in the violent explosion.

Fortunately, the previous fight had scattered the nearby hostages, otherwise, most of them would have died in this explosion.

Of course, it was also because the hostages had escaped that Zhang Yuanqing dared to use this move.

He picked up the exploded handgun from the ground, aimed at the water ghost and pulled the trigger, forcing him to roll continuously.

Zhang Yuanqing fired while walking towards the dazed earth monster, like a cold-blooded killer walking in a hail of bullets.

At this moment, the earth monster shook its head and staggered to its feet.

Zhang Yuanqing leaped up, kneeling on the monster's neck with both knees, and the earth monster fell back to the ground.

With his gloved hand, he grabbed into the air and pulled out a forty-centimeter-long silver broken blade, raised it high, and stabbed it down hard on the back of the earth monster's head.

"Whoosh!"

The armor-breaking effect of the bloodthirsty blade directly destroyed the earth monster's proud defense, and half of the blade pierced its skull.

The earth monster stopped struggling immediately.

The water ghost took the opportunity to escape deeper into the consultation area.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't bother with the fleeing water ghost, he took out the detonator from the earth monster's pocket. Just as he put away the item, he heard a dull landing sound from the corridor outside the waiting room.

Looking in the direction of the sound, it was Yuan Ting.

The King of Rivers was dressed in black trousers and a black shirt, with an indescribable nobility between his brows.

Beside him was a pale-faced, expressionless burly man with sharp, black fingers and turbid eyes.

This was a zombie.

"The two thugs downstairs have been dealt with, and the hostages have been dispersed. Did you get the detonator?" Yuan Ting spoke very quickly.

"I've also taken care of it." Zhang Yuanqing moved his gaze away from the zombie and said, "But a water ghost escaped, and there's still a thug on the fourth floor, um, and Li Xianzong.

The operation was going smoother than he had expected.

Once the bomb was defused, the hostages could escape. Given the current number of thugs, it would be difficult to control the hostages again. Moreover, Li Dongze and others must have already taken action by now.

Yuan Ting nodded and said, "Well done, your growth is very rapid, Sun Zhanglao is confused, don't waste time, go to the fourth floor.

As his words fell, a thick fog suddenly filled the surroundings.

The white fog obscured the view and also blocked Yuan Ting from Zhang Yuanqing's sight.

"Be careful, the Saint-level Gu Master called Fog Master is invincible in thick fog. This should be Li Xianzong's tool." Yuan Ting's voice abruptly stopped.

All around was silent, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't tell north from south, it seemed like he was the only one left in the world.
