Chapter 187 The Pragmatist
A mere dozen or so pebbles were enough to knock the pistols out of the hands of more than a dozen strong men.
Not only that, but these dozen or so henchmen felt numbness in their arms and couldn't exert any strength at all.
This shows the power of those stones.
They couldn't even imagine what would have happened if those stones had hit their vital points instead of their pistols.
Will they survive?
Wang Li also looked shocked.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such a thing could happen.
Of course, only a wizard like Li Qin, who possesses extraordinary powers, could accomplish such a thing.
Li Qin always reminded himself that although the spell was magical, it could not be used rigidly; it had to be used flexibly.
This time, he used a combination of levitation spells, arrow-releasing spells, and launch spells to make the stone explode with power no less than that of a pistol bullet.
The key point is that this is only a very superficial way for Li Qin to combine spells.
Therefore, its power has not yet reached its maximum.
After this incident, Li Qin became even more certain that spells should not be used rigidly, but rather flexibly according to the needs.
Only in this way can one be said to have truly mastered the spell.
Just then, Wang Li and the others suddenly noticed that the footsteps were becoming clearer and clearer.
A human silhouette gradually emerged.
Finally, a man who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a cold face and icy eyes, emerged from the mist and appeared before the crowd.
Upon seeing Li Qin appear, the henchmen whose pistols had been shot down seemed to realize what was happening and immediately switched hands, attempting to pick up the fallen pistols.
Seeing this, a sharp glint flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
After Li Qin appeared, Wang Li kept a close eye on him.
He naturally noticed his underlings' actions, but he didn't stop them.
After all, there was now a mysterious, unknown figure involved, and he felt insecure.
But just as the underling was about to pick up the gun, he suddenly saw a cold killing intent in Li Qin's eyes.
The killing intent was so pure and intense.
It was like the biting wind of the coldest days of winter, chilling him to the bone.
Wang Li subconsciously said to his underlings around him:
"Don't move!"
As soon as Wang Li spoke, the surrounding henchmen froze, and then all their eyes turned to Wang Li's position.
The underlings' eyes were full of doubt and confusion.
At this moment, Li Qin looked at Wang Li with a strange gaze, and suddenly revealed a cold smile:
"You're quite good; your reaction was really timely. If you had spoken any later, most of your underlings would probably be gone by now."
Although Li Qin's tone remained cold, a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Actually, he was just saying that to scare these people.
Li Qin still had some principles; he wasn't a serial killer.
If these henchmen had touched the pistol just now, Li Qin would have used a stun spell on them.
Despite being protected by five layers of protective spells, Li Qin remained vigilant.
Hearing Li Qin's cold words, the expressions of the surrounding underlings immediately froze.
Although they subconsciously wanted to refute or say something harsh.
But when they recalled the scene of the stones knocking their pistols away, the henchmen immediately fell silent.
A look of relief flashed across Wang Li's face.
The henchmen around him were his confidants and core members of their gang.
If they lose so many people at the same time, their group will soon be swallowed up by other gangs in Beijing.
This kind of thing might not have much impact on the underlings, but it was unacceptable to Wang Li, who was used to being the boss.
What Wang Li feared even more was Li Qin's attitude of completely disregarding human life.
These kinds of people are even more terrifying than the others.
At this moment, Wang Li's gaze towards Li Qin contained a sense of awe that even he himself did not realize.
After a while, a smile suddenly appeared on Wang Li's face, and he said with a smile:
"Although I had heard legends of extraordinary people before, I only listened to them as stories. I never thought I would have the opportunity to see them with my own eyes today."
This really opened my eyes.
Wang Li was no ordinary person. Although he was very wary of, and even fearful of, Li Qin, he was able to maintain his image on the surface and not lose face.
"Mr. Wang Li, you're too kind."
Li Qin said calmly.
Legends of extraordinary people and strange individuals have existed since ancient times, but most of them are actually frauds, with only a very few possessing genuine abilities.
Li Qin used the excuse of "extraordinary people and unusual land" to cover up his true intentions.
In this way, even if he displays some extraordinary abilities in the future, he can use this to cover it up.
This avoids a lot of trouble.
"I wonder what advice a person of your stature has for me, Wang,?"
Wang Li was very curious.
Although he had some power under his command, which could be considered a force to be reckoned with.
But in a place like Beijing, he was very clear that he was simply not up to par.
He couldn't understand why such an extraordinary person would approach him.
"I've come here today to discuss a business deal with Mr. Wang."
Li Qin's expression changed, and he regained his indifferent demeanor, his tone becoming extremely cold.
Most business people believe in making money through harmony, but Li Qin's current demeanor doesn't seem like he's discussing business at all; it's more like he's giving an order or giving instructions.
Although Wang Li felt somewhat uncomfortable, he did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
He hadn't forgotten that the person in front of him was no ordinary person.
According to Wang Li's thinking, it's best to stay as far away from a dangerous person as possible.
He wanted to refuse.
However, they were worried that doing so would anger Li Qin, and then it would be hard to say whether those of them present would survive.
Wang Li noticed a detail just now.
Apart from the armed henchmen around me, the other henchmen who had been scattered throughout the courtyard have remained completely silent since the beginning of the night.
I don't know if it's been controlled, or...::: has been resolved?
Regardless of the reason, it's certain that the person in front of him is more capable than he imagined.
At least, they are not people he can afford to offend.
Wang Li asked somewhat cautiously:
"What kind of business deal would you like to discuss with me, sir?"
Li Qin first glanced at his underlings around him, then said to Wang Li:
"Let's talk about this in private."
After saying that, Li Qin ignored Wang Li's reaction and walked straight into the room behind Wang Li.
Upon seeing this, Wang Li first glanced at the underlings around him.
With a final grit of his teeth, he stepped into the room amidst the worried gazes of his underlings.
Wang Li knew very well that, given the methods the other party had previously displayed, it would be incredibly easy for them to do him harm.
So it doesn't matter whether there's someone protecting you or not.
Given that Li Qin hadn't initially intended to kill him, Wang Li was willing to believe that the other party genuinely wanted to discuss business with him.
That's why he followed Li Qin into the room.
Of course, more importantly, Wang Li was worried that if he disobeyed and went into the room to talk to the other party alone, he would anger them.
That might end up costing you your life.
