Chapter 127 The first confrontation
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Carter coughed incessantly, and it took him a while to recover. When he looked at Li Qing again, there was no trace of hostility in his eyes.
They were clearly scared after being taught a lesson.
“My name is Li Qing, and the two behind me are Sam and Molly. As for my purpose in coming here, it is… Alex.”
Alex felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Li Qing, and he was even more puzzled as to why Li Qing had come to find him. What did Li Qing want with him?
"At the same time, I would like to remind you that some of you here have already been targeted by death. Be careful when you are out and about, and don't have any accidents that could lead to your untimely death."
The moment the word "Grim Reaper" came out of Li Qing's mouth, the shadow in the corner trembled.
Alex and the others also had varying reactions.
However, they had one thing in common: they did not believe in the existence of death.
“Death? Don’t be ridiculous, man, there’s no such thing as Death in this world…” Billy said, looking nonchalant, clearly not believing Li Qing’s words.
Li Qing ignored Billy; he didn't care whether Billy believed him or not, since it wouldn't be him who died in the end.
"Alex, I heard you dreamed of the plane exploding before takeoff?"
When Li Qing asked him a question, Alex immediately answered obediently, not wanting to be lectured by Li Qing like Carter had been.
"Yes... but that must be a coincidence. What happened in my dream was different from what happened in reality..."
"No! The accident you dreamed about is not a coincidence; it is something that will actually happen."
"Then why is it different from what I dreamed about?"
"It's different, naturally because of my intervention."
As soon as Li Qing said this, Alex and the others stared at him with wide eyes.
Some people think Li Qing is bragging, while others think he is telling the truth.
Take Claire, for example. Her intuition has always been accurate. When Li Qing said those words, Claire subconsciously believed him.
"I intervened and changed the situation of the plane explosion, allowing it to land safely and saving the lives of 287 people on board!"
"However, Death will not let go of its targets. From now on, you seven people and the 287 passengers on the plane may be targeted by Death at any time, which may lead to some accidents."
"The San Francisco suspension bridge collapse two months ago was a deliberate act of death. Just like you today, someone else dreamed of the bridge collapsing before the accident and fled the scene with his colleagues."
At this point, Claire spoke up, saying slowly, "I've read the reports about the incident. They said that the bridge collapsed because the construction damaged the bridge structure, and then the strong winds caused it to collapse."
"Sam and Molly were survivors of that accident, and Sam, like you, once possessed the ability to foresee death."
Then Li Qing turned to look at Sam.
Sam immediately understood Li Qing's meaning. He stepped forward, and instantly all eyes of Alex and the other six were on Sam.
"Ahem, just as Mr. Li Qing said, before the suspension bridge collapsed, I also saw the scene of the collapse in my dream and fled the scene with my colleagues."
“At that time, I thought we were all safe. But in the next few days, my colleagues died one by one in accidents. In the end, only Molly and I were left. For a long time afterward, we were safe and sound. I thought we had successfully escaped the pursuit of death. Then, Molly and I boarded Flight 180... If it weren't for Mr. Li Qing's help, we would have definitely died in the plane explosion.”
After saying this, Sam paused, then looked deeply at Alex before continuing, "Death will not let anyone go!"
"Impossible! There is no such thing as a Grim Reaper in this world. You must believe in science!"
Ms. Leiden stood up from her chair with a somewhat excited expression. As a physics teacher, she believed in science above all else, and that all supernatural or ghostly things simply could not exist!
"Don't believe in ghosts and gods? Then I'll show you today. And coincidentally, Death is here too."
Li Qing shrugged helplessly, flicked his finger, and a point of golden light shot out, then split in mid-air, shooting into the foreheads of Alex and the other six.
"Look there."
Li Qing raised his right thumb and gestured behind him, pointing to the corner where the Grim Reaper was hiding.
Apart from Mr. Layton, the others all looked towards the corner.
They were all shocked when they saw what the Grim Reaper looked like.
"What is this dark thing?!"
"My God! Could this really be Death?"
This was the first time that the Grim Reaper's incarnation had been seen by so many people at the same time.
The Grim Reaper seemed somewhat embarrassed by the way the group was looking at him.
The black body trembled, and a cloud of black mist spread into the room.
Sensing the deathly aura contained within the black mist, Li Qing snorted coldly. He was standing right there!
How could we allow the Grim Reaper to incarnate and take several lives!
Suddenly, thunder roared in the void!
Thick bolts of blue lightning, about the thickness of a thumb, rose up around Li Qing, dancing wildly like thunder dragons.
These lightning dragons flashed with dazzling light, illuminating the entire room. Each lightning dragon contained boundless energy and power. Li Qing stood in this lightning, his hands behind his back, like a thunder god descending to earth.
To the astonishment of Alex and the others, streaks of lightning rushed straight toward the black mist.
The black mist, exuding an aura of death, seemed to have met its nemesis the moment it touched the Thunder Dragon, instantly dissolving completely.
In no time, all the black mist was devoured by the Thunder Dragon.
Then, under Li Qing's control, Lei Long pounced on the Death God incarnation in the corner.
Seeing this, the Grim Reaper incarnate was not intimidated and its body swelled up as it pounced towards the thunder dragons.
Do you really think this embodiment of death is made of clay?!
The Thunder Dragon and the Black Serpent were entangled together. Although there were many Thunder Dragons, they could not defeat the incarnation of Death for a while. Instead, the Thunder Dragons were torn apart by the incarnation of Death.
Upon seeing this scene, Sam, Alex, and the others ran to the other side, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
Li Qing's lightning power was inexhaustible; as soon as one lightning dragon perished, several more lightning dragons immediately joined the battle.
The incarnation of Death is ultimately just an incarnation, not Death himself descending. The power of the incarnation is limited and cannot withstand the wear and tear of prolonged battles.
Finally, under the onslaught of the Thunder Dragons, the Death God's avatar was torn to pieces bit by bit, and then dissipated into black smoke.
With the avatar of death destroyed, Li Qing's aura subsided, and all the thunder dragons disappeared from the room.
After witnessing Lee Sin's clash with the Grim Reaper incarnate, Alex and the others were completely convinced of the Grim Reaper's existence.
