Chapter 565: Chapter 564: The Night of Killing
Carrying the body of the Blood Demon, Qin Hao arrived at a nearby safe house.
On the surface, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace during the day, as if hiding in the dark to avoid battle. In reality, he was secretly making efforts to locate the headquarters of the Witch Demon Sect.
Fatty was busy battling hacker Hughes and couldn’t spare attention to help locate people. Fang Zhenwu, the Commander of provincial forces, was also arranged by Qin Hao to stay home for safety reasons.
Helplessly, Qin Hao could only choose to act on his own.
He spent nearly most of the day and finally found a suspicious villa later.
When the Blood Demon emerged from the villa, Qin Hao was certain he had found the right place.
He quietly tracked the Blood Demon, which led to the previous encounter.
Looking at the body of the Blood Demon, gradually turning cold and stiff, Qin Hao had mixed feelings.
Don’t be fooled by how simple and swift this battle seemed.
In reality, it was all based on Qin Hao’s unexpected ambush.
At such close range, he used his most lethal attack, the Wumei Finger; if he couldn’t kill the opponent, that would truly be the rarest event in the world.
Objectively speaking, just by the opponent’s vitality and muscle lines, Qin Hao discerned the Blood Demon’s formidable strength. If they fought under normal circumstances, it might cost him to kill the demon.
Qin Hao had heard of the Witch Demon Sect’s "six demon heads." He suddenly thought, if the other five demon heads have the same strength as the Blood Demon, this battle could be very challenging!
Qin Hao didn’t think he could handle them alone. Luckily, he managed to recall the squad, and letting these madmen deal with the five demon heads might be the best method.
As for himself, he needed to focus all his efforts on Master Gu.
After all, in comparison, the Blood Demon was merely a small boss; the true mega boss was the ancient ghost.
The images of his three wives flashed in his mind. Qin Hao felt that in this period of conflict between both sides, if precautions weren’t taken, the three ladies might get caught in the crossfire.
After all, the ancient ghost was as despicable and shameless as Xiao Lingtian, otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent the Blood Demon to harm defenseless women.
Concerned about the safety of the ladies at home, Qin Hao made a call.
"Hello, is it Brother Hao?"
The person who answered was Gu Qinyue, her voice as pleasant as ever.
"It’s me, Qinyue. I have an urgent matter to discuss with you, so I’ll be brief. I’m currently engaged in battle with a sinister force. Considering the inhuman nature of those people, I want you to leave now with Meng Ke and Yu Han. I’ve already selected a new home for you. All you need is to pack and go there directly."
"Now?"
As the Shield of the Witch Race, Gu Qinyue was quite resilient to such changes, only showing a small surprise in her tone without disapproval.
"Yes, that group is capable of any evil deeds. For the safety of you three, this is necessary."
"Alright then, I’ll talk to the two sisters."
"If they refuse, remember to reason with them first, and if that doesn’t work, use force if necessary."
Qin Hao half-joked: "I’ll send the new address to your phone shortly, and if possible, request Meng Ke to stay indoors during the day and accompany Yu Han to work."
After transforming, Gu Qinyue’s strength matched his own. As long as Master Gu didn’t personally act, she could handle the five demon heads easily.
"I will."
Gu Qinyue’s tone became solemn, considering the seriousness of the situation.
After ending the call, Qin Hao didn’t linger. He discarded the Blood Demon’s body and headed back to the villa where the Nightmare Squad assembled.
...
Night deep, the sky dotted with stars.
At the Witch Demon Sect’s temporary headquarters.
Inside the room, the five demon heads showed impatience.
It had been three hours, and the Blood Demon hadn’t returned.
Based on distance, the round-trip should take just an hour.
The opponent was just a weak woman; under normal circumstances, the Blood Demon should have been back by now.
Now, with no sign of him outside, the situation seemed unfavorable.
"Heh heh heh, that Blood Demon is truly useless."
The old witch Illusion Demon’s harsh voice broke the silence first.
The Beggar Demon, slamming an iron rod on the ground with a loud bang, angrily said: "He was the wrong person to send."
The underlying meaning was questioning Master Gu’s judgment.
Master Gu remained unfazed, calmly said: "Among those three women, there’s the presence of the Shield of the Witch Race. None of you can ensure victory against it, only the Blood Demon, with the Shadow Escape Technique, had a seventy percent success rate."
At these words, the Beggar Demon’s face showed displeasure as he stood up: "If I, the Beggar Demon, can’t handle a mere woman, I’ll take my own life!"
Even at this point, the old lecher still couldn’t forget about Qin Hao’s three ladies.
Master Gu’s eyes sharpened: "Beggar Demon, don’t bring this up again."
In a sigh, he told the others: "It’s been so long since the Blood Demon returned, he probably met with misfortune. His failed operation likely alerted Qin Hao. Hence, the capturing task is unfeasible. That agile lad has surely relocated the three women."
"What should we do!"
Flame Demon, dressed in red, with matching fiery hair and dense mustache, seemed to personify the legendary Fire God.
Master Gu wore a confident smile: "Now that Qin Hao has killed the Blood Demon, he’ll certainly become arrogant. Assuming we can’t find the Blood Demon’s trail, he’ll be hesitant to act rashly. This is undoubtedly his most unguarded state, we should take the opposite approach."
Upon hearing this, the five demon heads seemed invigorated.
With a confident smile, Master Gu said, "Illusion Demon, the West City is yours!"
"Heh heh heh! Finally, a chance to stretch my legs outside! Sect Leader, I’ll surely complete this mission to perfection!"
Illusion Demon chuckled darkly, stood up, accepted the command, and left the hall.
Master Gu continued, "Beggar Demon, the East City which includes the Money Gang, Tiger Wolf Association, and Wind and Cloud Club... these gangs are Qin Hao’s close allies for now, they’re yours to subdue."
"Sect Leader is wise!"
Tasked, the Beggar Demon set aside his resentment towards Master Gu. After some flattery, he took up his iron rod and left.
"The central city’s gangs are intricate and have close ties with the upper society, Witch Demon, being the most attentive and tactful among us, this area is yours."
"The northern forces aren’t under Qin Hao yet, Mad Demon, take them all. Remember, minimize killings whenever possible!"
"Flame Demon, the southern city is yours."
With Master Gu’s arrangements made, the other demon heads stood up respectfully, saluted him, and left the hall.
Under the night sky, the sight of the demon heads deploying seemed to frighten the moon into hiding behind the clouds.
The world plunged into darkness, signifying an ideal night for killing.
