Still, even though they had ambushed him, it didn't mean that they would succeed.

These two men that had suddenly ambushed Jiang Zhi Shu were only in the Silver Realm, so in truth, they moved just too slowly for Jiang Zhi Shu who was in the Platinum Realm.

He didn't have any problems avoiding their attacks as he casually took a step back, letting their blades fall down right in front of him before sweeping out with his spear.

This time, he didn't show any mercy since these men had just tried to kill him a few seconds earlier. He swept out with the blade at the end of his spear and cut right through the backs of their neck.

Both of these men crumpled to the ground before they could even react, but neither of them were dead.

Instead of killing them, Jiang Zhi Shu had controlled his spear to cut right through the nerves on the back of their neck to paralyze them. He still had questions that he wanted to ask them.

But he never got the chance since as soon as the assassins realized what had happened, they immediately broke the gel capsule in their teeth, releasing the cyanide that was contained within. Both of them had committed suicide just like that.

While Jiang Zhi Shu was annoyed that this had happened, he had to admire them since they were loyal enough to die to keep their secrets.

That might have been the case with these two assassins, but that wasn't the case with the man who looked like the very definition of a gangster. When he reacted to what had just happened, his legs immediately crumpled under him and he fell down on his butt.

He tried moving back, scooting on his butt as he approached the elevator, but Jiang Zhi Shu stabbed his spear right in between his legs, pinning him in place by the tail of his suit jacket.

The gangster just looked up at Jiang Zhi Shu in absolute fear as he said, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, they forced me to come down as the messenger! The boss is upstairs, the boss is upstairs, just take the elevator and you'll get to him!"

Jiang Zhi Shu looked at this man with pity, thinking that it would be a waste of time for him to kill him, but he still decided to kill him in the end. This man definitely lacked in crimes committed under the Jiang Family, he was certain of this, so there was no reason to spare this man.

Lin Fan nodded when he saw this. He had already condemned this person to death in his mind ever since he had read the information that had been gathered on this Wasp Hive. This was definitely not a good place and anyone that was affiliated was clearly here on their own free will. To put it in other words, they supported what was going on here, which meant there was no reason to keep them alive.

This was the cruel side of Lin Fan that seemed to appear whenever he was met with villains, completely different from the gentle side that appeared when he met the weak.

After clearing up the lobby, they left the corpses there before coming to the elevator.

Standing in front of the elevator, Jiang Zhi Shu couldn't help hesitating before asking Lin Fan, "Boss, are we really taking this elevator? They've clearly put some kind of trap on it since they even sent someone here to welcome us, so why should we go right into that trap?"

Lin Fan just snapped his finger and summoned out Rocky in his small form in his hand before saying, "There's no need to worry, we go straight up."

Jiang Zhi Shu wanted to say something, but he knew there was no talking to Lin Fan when he became like this. He had heard all about the various things that Lin Fan had done before and all the important people that he had killed, so he found comfort in that at least.

But the elevator wasn't big enough for all of them, so Jiang Zhi Shu split his group in half and said to the other half, "Come by the stairs, but take your time. We want to completely wipe them out, so sweep all the floors first and don't let a single one of them escape."

He had faith in his men since everyone with him were elites that had followed him since the beginning. Leading them were two Gold Realm adjutants that had followed Jiang  Zhi Shu since the beginning and they had grown quite a bit under him. Both of them were now in the peak Gold Realm.

The main forces of the Wasp Hive should be gathered on the top floor with the boss, so they should have no problem clearing out the various floors.

After the other group headed up the stairs, Jiang Zhi Shu led his group which had Lin Fan into the elevator.

As they were heading up to the top floor, Lin Fan pulled Jiang Zhi Shu aside to have a few words with him. At the same time, the little golem in his hand released a bit of life energy that surrounded the elevator.

As expected, when they reached the top floor, there was indeed a trap set up for the elevator.

When there was the ding that rang out signifying that they had reached the top floor, there was a sudden explosion that came from outside the door, but none of that mattered.

When the flames of the explosion dissipated, there was a layer of rock that was revealed to be completely surrounding the elevator and the rope holding it, causing the explosion to have no effect at all.

Once the explosion faded, the rocks disappeared and the elevator was revealed with an open door. Jiang Zhi Shu casually led his men through the elevator, none of them looked bothered by the explosion at all.

Jiang Zhi Shu had had complete faith in Lin Fan while his men believed that it was his power that had saved them, raising his position in their hearts even higher.

As for the group that was waiting outside the elevator, they couldn't help revealing looks of shock.

This was an explosion that was strong enough to injure Gold Realm Experts, how had they blocked it so easily?

But even if they were shocked, that didn't mean that they were worried since they still had their boss.

The boss was also surprised since he could feel the density of the life energy that had been contained within the rock shield. For it to block the explosion so easily, not even revealing a single seam, it was clear that this was a shield released by a Platinum Realm Expert.

If that were the case, this might be a hard battle for him since he too was only in the Platinum Realm, having only reached it a few weeks ago. He hadn't fully stabilized his realm and he would be considered much weaker than most other Platinum Realm Experts of the same cultivation level.

He just hoped that the help that he called for would arrive as soon as possible.

He had already heard about this situation this afternoon after several other Jiang Family businesses that he was close with had been attacked. The Jiang Family had been given no choice but to react and had contacted all their businesses to contact them as soon as they were attacked, so they could deploy one of their main members to come and help them.

Right now, the only thing that he could do was stall for as much time as he could.

The boss of the Wasp Hive was named Jiang Yu, he was one of the branch members of the Jiang Family.

Although he was in the Platinum Realm, that was all achieved from the accumulated use of elixirs which he gained from his services to the Jiang Family. While he wasn't skilled in cultivation, his mind was much sharper than others, which allowed him to easily run this loan shark business.

Jiang Yu came forward and began clapping which caught Jiang Zhi Shu and his group off guard. Of course, that didn't include Lin Fan.

Jiang Yu then stood there as he said, "This brother, may I ask what business you have with our Wasp Hive? I'm sure we can air our grievances out, there's no need for us to fight."

Jiang Zhi Shu didn't care about his words at all as he raised his spear and charged forward, sending the point stabbing right at Jiang Yu.

However, before he could even get close to Jiang Yu, there was a barrier that had suddenly appeared in front of him.

One special thing about Jiang Yu was that he was a coward, but that wasn't meant in a bad way.

As an intelligent person and a coward, he naturally had planned for all different contingencies. He had placed all kinds of defenses around him, to prepare for all kinds of scenarios.

But what Jiang Zhi Shu had done next was not something that he could plan for.

Jiang Zhi Shu took a step back and suddenly raised his spear up in the sky, gathering stones around the tip. On his shoulder was a tiny Rocky which had raised its arms to gather those rocks around the tip of his spear.

Then once the rock had completely covered the tip, Jiang Zhi Shu swept down once again at the barrier, but this time the barrier collapsed as soon as his weapon touched it. The energy of the barrier scattered like dust on the wind before completely disappearing, leaving behind a stunned crowd.
