Last ti, the flawless footwork he used to escape Wang Qiang's grasp was suddenly unusable now.
Qin Qi sensed sothing amiss and looked down, only to find the ground beneath his feet had beco incredibly soft. As he stepped down, his foot sank halfway, leaving him with nowhere to push off from.
"What's going on?"
Qin Qi was utterly confused.
He suspected it was the doing of the right secretary and quickly turned his head to look.
He only saw a dim yellow flag appear in the right secretary's hand, emanating True Qi like flowing water, pointing directly at him.
Qin Qi's expression darkened, "You, what kind of trick are you playing?"
The right secretary twisted his neck, "Last ti you managed to escape from Wang Qiang, though I don't know what thod you used, did you think I would co unprepared this ti?"
"How could a country bumpkin like you possibly know the power of this flag? Fine, just stay a confused fool obediently!"
As he spoke, he let out a string of cold laughs, looking at Qin Qi like he was a trapped prey. In the palm of his hand, a large amount of True Qi began to gather gradually.
Qin Qi's expression darkened.
The mysterious woman spoke slowly, "This is a rare treasure, the Swamp Flag."
"A rare treasure? What's that?" Qin Qi looked puzzled.
The mysterious woman remained unperturbed by Qin Qi's predicant and calmly explained, "Rember those few treasures you took when Duan ng was trapped in the statue? Those were rare treasures, though each has different uses."
"This Swamp Flag, activated by True Qi, can turn the ground in the direction it points into a swamp-like state. The more recklessly you move, the deeper you sink, unable to extricate yourself!"
Qin Qi felt a shiver run down his spine, "What should I do then?"
The mysterious woman answered helplessly, "Don't worry, the ground covered by the Swamp Flag is sothing even the right secretary dares not step into."
Qin Qi's lips twitched.
The right secretary indeed didn't dare to co in, but with his thods, he didn't even need to enter to take him down!
Just as he thought.
At this mont, the right secretary's hands were gathering True Qi like flowing water into sothing bubble-like.
Then, with a contemptuous smile, nurous bubbles surged directly towards him.
The speed of these bubbles wasn't fast. Under normal circumstances, he could easily dodge them, but now, he had no way to avoid them!
He could only swing his fist, trying to smash these nurous bubbles.
But there were too many!
In no ti, a few bubbles had already clung to his body.
"No, it doesn't hurt?"
Qin Qi was bewildered.
But soon, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
The areas where he was hit by the bubbles began to spread, completely enveloping his body. The parts of his body covered by these bubbles felt as if they'd been lost, entirely beyond his control.
In just a mont, his lower body, including his legs, was tightly confined.
In Qin Qi's widened eyes, a flicker of panic appeared.
"This, this..."
He was completely flustered.
What could he do to break out of this situation?
By this point, he was at his wit's end, with no ans to counter.
"No, that's not right!"
Suddenly, Qin Qi paused slightly, "I do have a way, there's still one more option."
That power, he wasn't very practiced with it yet, and it didn't entirely belong to him.
And the right secretary clearly had no idea what Qin Qi was thinking.
Seeing Qin Qi being covered by bubbles, his smile contained ridicule, "Relax, don't be afraid. Before I get the Silver Gate Scroll, I won't rush to kill you."
"Now, should I co over and make you talk, or will you tell where the Silver Gate Scroll is right now?"
Qin Qi replied coldly, "You think I would tell you?"
The right secretary burst out laughing, "I like stubborn people. Don't worry, I have ways to make you compliant!"
With that, he began to walk step by step toward Qin Qi.
Just as he was about to approach Qin Qi, he rembered the ti Qin Qi had tricked him before, but he quickly shook his head.
"I really am worrying too much. Covered by my bubbles, how can he possibly move?"
The right secretary's mouth curled into a playful smile, then he stepped into the path covered by the Swamp Flag.
Just as the mysterious woman said.
As the right secretary stepped onto this path, he, like Qin Qi, found his movents restricted. He cautiously stepped forward, focusing True Qi on his feet, leaving one footprint at a ti.
Soon, he was near Qin Qi.
In his hand appeared a knife. He twisted his neck, "Do you know what duties I have as the right secretary in President Cai's company?"
Qin Qi was puzzled, just watching the right secretary quietly staring at the knife in his hand.
The right secretary chuckled coldly, "Besides taking care of trivial matters for President Cai, I'm also responsible for interrogations and torture!"
"The kind of harsh execution thods only seen in ancient tis, like Ling Chi where thousands of cuts are made without killing the victim - nobody uses those nowadays. But unfortunately for you, I know how!"
After saying this, the right secretary's smile was extrely cold, and exceptionally sinister.
Hearing this, Qin Qi's expression sank, and his whole body shivered.
"Afraid now? Just obediently tell , where exactly is the Silver Gate Scroll?" The right secretary looked at Qin Qi with a disdainful gaze.
Qin Qi stared at the knife, gulping, "I, I..."
Seeing Qin Qi about to speak, the right secretary imdiately urged, "Go ahead, say it. If you tell , I will leave you with an intact body, and I will also spare your family!"
Hearing this, Qin Qi sighed, "You think I would carry sothing as precious as the Silver Gate Scroll anywhere other than on ? Free from these bubbles, and I'll help you get it!"
The right secretary narrowed his eyes.
He always acted with caution and prudence.
Upon hearing Qin Qi's words, he mocked him, "Kid, don't try to fool . Free you from these bubbles? And give you a chance to use that close-range explosive power again? That's impossible. Don't worry, since it's on you, I can get it myself!"
With that, he walked step by step toward Qin Qi.
Qin Qi looked as if he had given up hope.
Soon, the right secretary was in front of him, searching his body.
Soon enough, he found a rolled-up, easily identifiable page in Qin Qi's pocket.
Once he sensed it, the right secretary's face lit up with delight.
He'd found it, now he could report back successfully.
But at that mont!
He suddenly noticed a trace of coldness flash in Qin Qi's eyes.
What followed was surprising: a layer of brilliant golden True Qi suddenly enveloped Qin Qi, shattering the bubbles that had been restricting his movent!
