Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 54 Artifact-Controlling Gauntlets? Where did you get this magical artifact?!

Inside the warehouse.

The huge explosion just now shook the entire warehouse.

Qiao Kun's face was gloomy.

The five kidnappers had barely stepped down when such a violent explosion occurred, and there was no further sound for quite some time.

Even a fool could guess the outcome.

"Damn it! This little bastard is really troublesome!"

"Boss, what should we do now?" one of the kidnappers asked. "Should we send a few more men down?"

"..."

Qiao Kun fell silent and looked around.

They originally numbered thirty-one, but one undercover police officer, Erlong, died, and nine others were killed by Zhu Que in the garbage pit.

Now there are only twenty-one people left.

If they send more people down, and those little bastards kill them again, then they won't even have a chance to control these hostages.

"listen to me!"

Qiao Kun quickly weighed the pros and cons and decisively said:

"Let's switch places. You guys hold off Su Zhen for now, I'll go down and deal with that little bastard myself!"

"Boss, shall we go with you?" one of the kidnappers asked worriedly.

"unnecessary!"

Qiao Kun said in a deep voice, "You are responsible for keeping a close eye on the hostages and doing your best to keep Su Zhen calm. Do not arouse her suspicion, understand?"

"Understood, boss!"

"Then I'll go down."

Qiao Kun turned around and strode towards the giant garbage pit.

His subordinates, following orders, took his place and continued to negotiate with Su Zhen outside.

Outside the warehouse.

"Captain Su, they've made a substitution."

"This indicates that the situation in the warehouse is still changing."

Su Zhen said calmly, "According to the intelligence provided by Da Yong, there is a fifth-class person with extremely unusual strength who caused Qiao Kun to be seriously injured."

"Although Da Yong and the hostages' resistance was most likely suppressed by Qiao Kun, that exceptionally strong fifth-class person..."

Su Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly: "They seem to be putting up a stubborn resistance."

"Captain Su, what's our next step?"

"Is the commando team in position?"

"We are ready and can launch a full-scale attack at any time."

"Alright, tell them to wait for my orders. Tell them again that you must ensure Lu Wanning's safety."

"receive!"

Su Zhen stared intently in the direction of the warehouse, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

at the same time.

Inside the warehouse.

Qiao Kun stood on the edge of the giant garbage pit.

At this moment, his injuries had not yet healed. He had lost his right arm, and half of his body was still covered in blood, making him look extremely gruesome.

Based on his usual style of doing things, knowing that there was definitely something strange about that fifth-class bastard, he would never have risked jumping down with such a badly injured body.

However, the current situation is extremely critical.

Surrounded by police on the outside and suffering heavy losses on the inside, he had to make the most rational decision at the moment.

Qiao Kun glanced back at his men, his eyes indifferent.

Instead of jumping down immediately, he took out a lantern-shaped magical artifact, rapidly forming hand seals and channeling spiritual energy into it.

The lantern artifact lit up, and he threw it into the giant pit.

"Whoa!!"

A dazzling light burst forth, like an inverted bowl-shaped light shield, quickly enveloping the opening of the garbage pit.

next moment.

Qiao Kun leaped into the giant garbage pit.

As soon as he jumped in, the layer of light suddenly solidified, transforming into a sturdy barrier that sealed off the entrance to the garbage pit.

"Um??"

This sudden turn of events stunned all the kidnappers.

They stared at the shimmering barrier, frozen in place, exchanging bewildered glances.

After a brief silence, they all understood a cruel truth—

They were betrayed by Qiao Kun!

Qiao Kun sealed off the entrance to the giant pit, clearly intending to have them hold off the police and buy him time to escape!

"Boss, didn't you always teach us to be loyal? Now you've run away, what's with that?!"

One of the kidnappers said in disbelief.

"Qiao Kun, you son of a bitch!!"

Another kidnapper yelled, "We fucking risked our lives for you, and now you've sold us out?!"

"That bastard is a real piece of trash!"

"Fuck you! I've wasted all these years following you!"

"You get the hell out here!!"

"..."

A group of kidnappers were filled with rage.

They never expected that Qiao Kun, who was always "loyal," would abandon all his brothers at the crucial moment and escape alone.

Inside the giant pit.

Zhu Que originally thought that more kidnappers would come down.

However, he only saw a flash of light, and then a figure jumped into the garbage pit.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Qiao Kun!

Strange. Judging from his behavior just now, this guy is very cautious. Why would he jump down alone?

Zhu Que was puzzled.

"You little bastard! You've ruined my whole plan!"

Qiao Kun's face was gloomy.

"I was just trying to protect myself."

"but……"

Qiao Kun suddenly flashed a strange smile.

"I really admire you. You are calm, decisive, courageous, and capable. People like you are rare."

"How about it? Consider becoming my subordinate!"

"What's so great about being a fifth-class citizen? I'll treat you to the finest food and drinks, and let you experience the life of an upper-class person every day!"

"To be your subordinate?"

Zhu Que glanced at the radiant barrier behind him, which had solidified into a tangible form, and understood why Qiao Kun had jumped down alone.

"So, you want me to live a life of luxury with you, only to be sold out like them?"

"You little bastard, don't be so ungrateful..."

"Stop wasting time, your acting is terrible."

Zhu Que coldly interrupted him.

He saw through Qiao Kun's scheme at a glance; it was nothing more than a way to buy time and allow his injuries to heal more thoroughly.

He raised his right hand and aimed it at Qiao Kun.

"What is that?!"

Qiao Kun was slightly taken aback, then his eyes widened suddenly as he recognized the magical artifact on Zhu Que's right hand!

"Artifact Control Gauntlets?! Where did you get this magical artifact?!"

"No comment."

Zhu Que's expression was icy.

next moment--

"Crackling sounds!"

Suddenly, a dense series of ringing sounds rang out around Qiao Kun.

He looked down sharply and his scalp tingled; a chill ran down his spine and straight to the top of his head.

The ground around him was densely covered with spiritual lightning artifacts, clearly a meticulously arranged death trap.

"You fucking bastard!!"

Qiao Kun cursed angrily, rapidly forming hand seals with one hand while trying to dodge.

Just then—

"Bang!!"

A dull, explosive gunshot rang out.

Zhu Que, wielding a spirit-patterned sniper rifle, unleashed a high-speed penetrating fireball that instantly struck Qiao Kun in the abdomen.

Although it wasn't a fatal wound, it interrupted his evasive maneuvers.

"Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!"

next moment.

The surrounding spiritual lightning exploded with a deafening roar.

The blazing flames and shockwave engulfed Qiao Kun, and the explosion made the entire warehouse tremble slightly.

Outside the warehouse.

Upon noticing the unusually large explosion, Su Zhen immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice, "All commandos, prepare—"
