"Trying to run?"

Qin An spoke with a hint of mockery.

The middle-aged monk, upon seeing this, frantically struggled, his entire body of True Qi surging, attempting to break free from Qin An's foot that was pinning him.

But before he could make a move, intense pain spread from his limbs, penetrating deep into his bones.

Blood splattered, scattering everywhere.

The middle-aged monk's limbs were severed, the cuts smooth and neat.

Qin An wiped the blood from his black knife onto the monk's robes: "Now it's safe."

The monk on the ground kept rolling, unable to die yet unable to survive.

Especially Qin An's icy voice made him tremble like a sieve.

Ye Lengshuang halted her steps.

She had noticed the monk attempting to escape, and was about to pursue when her vision blurred, and she saw Qin An act quicker than her, severing the monk's limbs.

The method was ruthless, his expression unchanged.

Ye Lengshuang raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself: "A ruthless character."

The body technique just now was extremely mystical, his speed alone surpassed that of many.

Ye Lengshuang felt that this person was not entirely useless.

However, her opinion of Qin An only slightly improved, not much changed.

She still considered him someone who came to share the glory.

The woman kneeling on the ground originally had a dazed expression, but upon seeing such a bloody scene, she immediately trembled all over, shrinking back on the ground not daring to move.

Ye Lengshuang stepped forward, examining the main hall ahead, only then noticing a secret passage emerging behind a clay Buddha statue.

"What's inside, tell everything, and you can avoid suffering."

None of the captured monks spoke a word.

The middle-aged monk somewhat recovered, angrily spat: "Bastard!"

Ye Lengshuang frowned slightly.

This group was rather tough.

Initially thought they could trace out clues, but didn't expect them all to be hard nuts.

Maybe torture would be effective, but it's not the time now.

They had already alerted the enemy, wasting more time might bring changes.

"Kill them." Ye Lengshuang waved her hand and said.

With a secret passage existing, it surely leads towards the depths.

The monks remained silent, so kill them.

The Evil Extermination Bureau has always been brutal towards such people, never leaving hidden dangers.

Qin An interjected: "Better to keep them alive."

Ye Lengshuang glared at Qin An, her tone displeased: "I am the leader of this mission."

Though Qin An's earlier display was somewhat impressive, Ye Lengshuang disliked others altering her decisions.

Qin An calmly said: "We have no knowledge of what dangers lie within the secret passage; if danger arises, they could serve as adequate meat shields."

With those words, like a cold wind blowing over, the monks raised their heads, looking at Qin An as if he were a demon.

Qin An hadn't intended to speak, but the current matter also concerned his safety.

He always sought stability.

Underneath the secret passage, there must be numerous dangers.

Since these people were doomed to die anyway, why not let them serve one last purpose?

Though the method was cruel, this is exactly how enemies should be dealt with; he was never indulgent.

Ye Lengshuang pondered briefly, then nodded: "Seal their acupuncture points and let them lead in the passage."

Though she disliked Qin An disrupting her thoughts, Qin An's argument was correct.

The Evil Extermination Bureau members live on the edge of danger, but that doesn't mean they don't cherish their lives.

If there is a method to reduce risk, they will do it.

Led by a state official, the monks' True Qi was fully sealed.

As for the group of women, they had already fainted and were taken to a safe place by several state officials.

Qin An approached the secret passage entrance, looking in from the entrance.

Inside, it was utterly dark, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open.

Torches were embedded in the walls, serving as the only source of light.

The flickering torches cast shadows like demons, enhancing the eerie feeling.

Ye Lengshuang approached: "Throw them down."

Dozens of state officials carried the monks and threw them in.

Screams rose and fell.

As the monks fell, hundreds of hidden arrows shot out from the passage walls, with a piercing sound, piercing through the monks.

Once the monks hit the ground, they had already become corpses.

The middle-aged monk, held by a state official, trembled slightly upon seeing this situation.

"Quite the ingenious trap." Ye Lengshuang raised her eyes and said, "Thanks to you this time, I will note it as a merit."

The latter sentence was directed at Qin An.

Though she disliked Qin An coming to share the merit, she was a person of justice.

Qin An nodded: "Alright."

Ye Lengshuang continued, "The trap has been triggered, temporarily safe, enter the secret passage."

With those words, she took the lead, sword in hand, jumping into the secret passage with a vigilant expression.

A sharp wind sounded, and until Ye Lengshuang landed on the ground, the mechanism did not react in the slightest.

Seeing this, the remaining Evil Extermination Bureau members entered in order.

Qin An, with Gang Qi surrounding him like a wall, jumped into the passage entrance.

A sharp wind sounded, and Qin An kicked his legs, using the force of the walls, landed steadily on the ground.

Below the passage, it was another world.

In front was a corridor, filled with a stench, nauseating.

The black knife was already in Qin An's hand; the situation ahead was unclear, and he did not lower his guard.

Ye Lengshuang glanced around: "Continue scouting."

Half of the monks were still alive, making them good scouts.

The monks, driven forward, limped along the corridor.

The corridor was dimly lit, the candle flames flickering.

At this moment, the monk at the forefront suddenly stopped.

Ye Lengshuang shouted: "Why aren't you moving!"

The monk stood frozen, his head turning 180 degrees while his body didn't move at all.

Blood lines appeared on the monk's body, and after a breath, the monk's body shattered into pieces.

Not only him, but the remaining half of the monks were all chopped to pieces.

Yet strangely enough, no enemy was visible.

After witnessing this scene, the members of the Evil Extermination Bureau found it hair-raising.

The middle-aged monk laughed out loud, his hair disheveled, hysterically twisting the remaining torso of his body: "Hahaha, you all will die, having offended the Joyful Buddha, all of you will die without a whole corpse."

Qin An raised an eyebrow, grabbed the middle-aged monk's collar, and threw him into the corridor ahead.

The next moment, the monk's laughter abruptly ceased, dying shattered like the others.

The sense of danger was ever-present, as if stepping forward would unleash an unseen terror.

Ye Lengshuang surveyed the surroundings.

Now there were no more monks to use, all having died in the corridor.

Though she couldn't decipher any abnormalities, even if it were a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, she had to forge ahead.

With her being the strongest here, sending others forward might lead to their demise like the monks, losing their lives pointlessly.

Ye Lengshuang took a deep breath, gripping her sword, feeling the sweat in her palms, cautiously heading towards the corridor.

The Evil Extermination Bureau members were on high alert, following behind Ye Lengshuang, ready to enter the corridor.

But before Ye Lengshuang took two steps, Qin An's voice sounded.

"Are you eager to die?"

Ye Lengshuang was slightly taken aback, then paused, looking at Qin An, who held a black knife.
