Chapter 219 - 142: The Birth of the Rat King

Chapter 219: Chapter 142: The Birth of the Rat King

Ah!

My mouth!

A wave of excruciating pain washed over her, and Huang Xiaoqing instinctively recoiled, stumbling backward.

Her mouth was now filled with blood, her eyes wide with terror.

Though her injured fangs and throat were healing rapidly, she stared at Gu Qing as if he were a monster of steel, her eyes filled with terror.

Gu Qing was too tough. So tough that her legs grew weak, and a primal fear gripped her.

Meanwhile, Ma Dongyu, who was still charging at high speed, was left dumbfounded.

The Ratman before her had a Biological Level of Tier Nine Peak Great Perfection!

’She took a vicious bite but couldn’t even scratch Gu Qing? She was even injured by the recoil?’

’How is that possible?!’

In her daze, Ma Dongyu couldn’t stop herself in time and slammed right into Gu Qing.

The impact felt like hitting a thick steel plate.

The immense force of the recoil sent her flying backward several meters before she crashed to the ground with a THUD.

The moment she landed, it felt as if every bone in her body had shattered. Her body convulsed a few times from the sheer pain.

In contrast, Gu Qing, who had been attacked by both of them in succession, stood perfectly still.

His feet were firmly planted on the ground.

His body stood tall and straight, like a pine tree.

He hadn’t swayed in the slightest from beginning to end.

Ma Dongyu stared blankly.

’Is he really an Extraordinary Contactor?’

’His Physical Strength...’

’How is he any different from an Extraordinary Awakened with a Qi Blood Type Superpower?’

In the nearby dormitory building.

Many of the female students were in shock, unable to believe what they had just seen.

’That handsome guy looks like a normal person, but he didn’t get hurt at all when that monster bit him?’

’He even broke the monster’s teeth?’

’Is he Superman from a movie?’

"Go, handsome! Kill that monster!"

One of the girls came to her senses, stood on her balcony, and shouted towards Gu Qing, cheering him on.

Hearing this, the other girls also snapped out of it and started cheering for Gu Qing.

In an instant, more than half the girls in the dormitory were shouting words of encouragement.

The sound was thunderous.

Listening to the waves of cheers, Wu Jiahao, already in too much pain to get up, grimaced as the ache seemed to intensify.

"Damn it, Gu Qing’s stealing the show again!"

Wu Jiahao endured the intense pain, raised his hand into a fist, and punched the ground hard, his eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Gu Qing ignored the reactions of the people around him.

He looked at Huang Xiaoqing before him and used Qi Blood External Release to burn the saliva and blood from his fist. With a calm expression, he spoke:

"Is this all you’ve got?"

"..."

Seeing Gu Qing’s look of utter contempt, Huang Xiaoqing flew into a rage from shame and anger.

She hated this enemy who had taken her sister with a passion.

She wished she could tear him to shreds.

But her rational mind was screaming at her, ’Get out! Run! Now!’

Without the slightest hesitation, Huang Xiaoqing turned and fled.

Her legs became a blur.

She ran as fast as she possibly could.

While fleeing, she didn’t forget to release a large cloud of yellow-green rat poison to interfere with Gu Qing’s pursuit.

"Running when you know you can’t win. Much smarter than that show-off, Jiahao."

Gu Qing added with a laugh, taking a jab at Jiahao.

Then, he pushed off forcefully with his feet, his figure flashing as he instantly caught up with the fleeing Huang Xiaoqing.

Terror filled Huang Xiaoqing’s face as she threw a backhand punch at Gu Qing’s head.

Gu Qing simply raised a hand and precisely caught her incoming fist.

Then, with a slight exertion of force, he swung her entire body up and slammed her violently onto the ground.

"BAM!"

A deafening crash echoed out.

Huang Xiaoqing’s massive body crashed heavily onto the hard concrete, gouging out a deep crater and sending a web of gruesome cracks spreading across the ground.

"PFFT!"

Huang Xiaoqing spat out a large mouthful of blood. Her face turned deathly pale, and she felt as if all her internal organs had shifted.

Gu Qing gave her no chance to breathe. He once again swung her body up and began smashing her into the concrete in a furious onslaught.

"BAM!"

"BAM!"

"BAM!"

The sound of Huang Xiaoqing’s body smashing against the ground echoed endlessly.

With each impact, the earth trembled slightly.

"You’re just like your sister. When she realized she couldn’t beat me, she decisively turned and ran."

"Too bad she couldn’t outrun me. I grabbed her by the leg, swung her around, and smashed her into the ground. She was half-dead after just a couple of hits."

"I wonder how many hits you can take."

Gu Qing spoke as he slammed her down, treating Huang Xiaoqing like a ragdoll, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Huang Xiaoqing couldn’t respond.

She had been beaten into a state of semi-consciousness and couldn’t even hear what Gu Qing was saying.

Even if she could, her brain was too scrambled to process the words.

"BAM!"

"BAM!"

"BAM!"

After another three heavy slams in a row,

Huang Xiaoqing was completely paralyzed. She reverted from her Ratman form back to her usual female form, her body so severely injured she couldn’t move a muscle.

"As expected of the older sister. Your body is much more durable than your sister’s. You took several more hits."

Gu Qing casually tossed Huang Xiaoqing at his feet, looking down on her and sneering.

He then raised his right foot high, intending to stomp on her limbs and throat to completely rob her of her ability to resist.

Just as Gu Qing’s crushing stomp was about to descend,

Huang Xiaoqing, lying on the ground on the verge of death, suddenly opened her eyes. Her hands erupted with unprecedented strength as she clawed at the dirt with lightning speed and burrowed into the ground.

"THUD!"

Gu Qing’s foot came down, hitting nothing but air. Huang Xiaoqing had burrowed into the ground to escape.

’That works too?’

Gu Qing was stunned.

’First, she plays dead. When that fails, she starts burrowing like a rat to make a pathetic escape.’

’This Huang Xiaoqing is full of surprises, isn’t she?’

His surprise didn’t last long.

Gu Qing quickly recovered.

Then, without a second thought,

He dove headfirst into the hole to hunt down Huang Xiaoqing.

’I’m not letting prey this close escape!’

Although the underground was not Gu Qing’s home turf, his strength far exceeded Huang Xiaoqing’s. He effortlessly caught up to the burrowing Huang Xiaoqing.

Seeing Gu Qing catch up to her so quickly, Huang Xiaoqing knew that escaping by burrowing was not going to work.

Without a shred of hesitation,

Huang Xiaoqing decisively burst out of the ground, returning to the surface.

Before Gu Qing could follow her out, she frantically activated the Extraordinary Power within her, and a pair of huge, fleshy wings suddenly sprouted from her back.

The next second, she flapped her wings powerfully, and her entire body instantly lifted off the ground and soared into the sky.

In just a moment, she had ascended dozens of meters, instantly putting distance between herself and Gu Qing.

At the same time,

Gu Qing also burst from the ground and looked up at Huang Xiaoqing, who now had wings on her back and was quickly flying away.

’This Ratman has wings?’

’She can fly?’

’Did she turn into a bat?’

Gu Qing was shocked. He never would have imagined that Huang Xiaoqing could sprout wings and fly away.

It was only at this moment that he truly understood the weight of what Zhao Chuan had said on the field before.

The methods of these Rat God Cultists are truly bizarre and unpredictable!

"You flightless, lowly ant!"

"I will be back!"

"The next time I return will be the day you die!"

Believing she had successfully escaped from Gu Qing’s grasp, Huang Xiaoqing hung high in the air, looking down on him with a tone full of contempt and hatred.

’She thinks she’s invincible just because she can fly?’

’Heh. How naive.’

With a thought, Gu Qing used Qi Blood External Release to condense a huge Blood Crossbow and a thick but extremely sharp Blood Arrow.

Then, under Huang Xiaoqing’s watchful gaze,

He easily loaded the bolt.

He locked the tip of the Blood Arrow firmly on her.

Looking at the cold glint from the arrowhead,

Huang Xiaoqing’s face filled with terror, and a powerful sense of crisis washed over her.

Without another word, she frantically flapped her wings, trying to get away from Gu Qing on the ground.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"VWOOM—!"

Gu Qing pulled the trigger. The Blood Arrow instantly sliced through the air, shooting toward Huang Xiaoqing high in the sky.

The shot was fast and true.

High in the sky, Huang Xiaoqing had no time to adjust her position to dodge.

In the blink of an eye, the Blood Arrow shot up from the ground dozens of meters below, mercilessly piercing her back and accurately penetrating her heart.

The moment the Blood Arrow pierced her heart,

The large amount of Qi Blood Power attached to it instantly surged into her body, viciously destroying every cell within her.

In just two short seconds,

Huang Xiaoqing, high in the air, began to spit blood. Blood also gushed from her eyes, nose, and ears as her life force rapidly drained away.

Consequently, she could no longer stay airborne, and she plummeted from the sky.

Just then,

"RUMBLE!"

The entire land suddenly began to tremble violently.

The next second,

A giant rat that blotted out the sky burst from the earth. Like a mosasaur leaping from the water to snatch a pterosaur, it opened an impossibly large, abyssal maw and swallowed the falling Huang Xiaoqing in a single gulp.
