n

n

n

nAfter the chaos was suppressed, the military started to clean up the battlefield. The civilian warriors gradually dispersed, treating their injuries and finding a place to rest.

n

n“Ring! Ring!”

n

nSuddenly, Zhou Hongquan’s communicator rang.

n

n“Hello?”

n

n“A large number of beast shadow warriors have appeared on the railway leading to the base city.”

n

n“What’s the situation now?”

n

n“Those beast shadow warriors are destroying the railway. The patrol team can’t stop them.”

n

nZhou Hongquan hung up, his expression dark.

n

nThis time, the Western corporations had caused chaos in the Daxia Kingdom and openly destroyed the tacit understanding that had been formed over a long time. Although they could push the blame to the evil organization after this, they could only deceive the general public, but they could not hide it from others.

n

nNow that the humans were surrounded by all kinds of enemies, internal strife would only put them in an even more dangerous situation. However, the higher-ups of the Western corporations still did whatever they wanted, just like what they had done to Japan in the past.

n

nHow could they not know how dangerous nuclear weapons were? However, they still gave the order to launch them. In fact, if Japan had not unconditionally surrendered, they would have launched a new round of attacks.

n

nWhen the surrounding soldiers heard this news, they were all furious.

n

nJiangnan province had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was already being attacked by others. This was equivalent to cutting off their path to the future.

n

nEveryone was waiting for Zhou Hongquan’s orders to destroy the evil organization in Jiangnan province.

n

n“I’m willing to lead all the special operations team members from the security bureau to fight the enemy.”

n

nLin Hui took the initiative to step forward. His voice was powerful and his expression was firm.

n

nImmediately after, the special operation members knelt down and requested permission to leave the city to eliminate the beast shadow warriors. All of this felt normal and reasonable.

n

nZhou Hongquan frowned.

n

n“How will the big fish leave Jiangdu City? Will the beast shadow warriors’ attack on the railway be a deliberate diversion?”

n

nAs the leader of Jiangdu City, his orders would have a large impact on the city. If he made a mistake, the enemy might escape.

n

nAfter some thought, Zhou Hongquan decided to put his trust in Chen Yiming and gave the order. Jiangdu City would immediately send out troops to eliminate the beast shadow warriors along the railway.

n

nWayne, who was among the group, couldn’t help but smile when he heard Zhou Hongquan’s order.

n

nThe second part of the evacuation plan was successfully completed. Once they left Jiangdu City, Lin Hui, the bureau chief, would no longer be of any use. The reagent that was a symbol of the first generation was still in Wayne’s hands.

n

n“Do you really think I’ll give you the spot for the first generation? Aren’t you thinking too simply? Why don’t I use it myself? Hehehe!”

n

nLittle did he know that Chen Yiming was hiding in the black fog and staring at the special operations unit led by Lin Hui.

n

n“Laughing?”

n

n“Is this person a small fry? Or is he the big fish we’re looking for?”

n

nAlthough he could not be 100% sure, he had obtained an important clue. There must be a core member of the evil organization hidden in the team led by Lin Hui.

n

n…

n

nThe full moon shone brightly.

n

nChen Yiming waited for Lin Hui’s team to set off before sending a voice transmission to Zhou Hongquan. He told him to maintain the strict defense of Jiangdu City while he went out of the city alone to check on the situation.

n

nThis was to prevent the core members of the evil organization using a diversion to escape. With Zhou Hongquan around, it would not be a problem to prevent the other party from forcefully breaking through the city’s defenses for the time being.

n

nChen Yiming’s spiritual radar could cover a large area. If he sensed the commotion from the battle, he could still return in time and chase after them.

n

nAfter leaving the city, he looked up and saw more than 10 fighter jets flying over from the direction of Jiangnan City. They emitted intense rumbling sounds as they fired missiles at the beast shadow warriors one after another.

n

nClearly, the Western corporations had completely angered the Daxia Kingdom this time. They did not care about the threat of the mutant beasts to the fighter jets, nor did they care that it was not suitable to use the fighter jets at night. They wanted to suppress the chaos caused by the evil organization at all costs.

n

nThe cold steel railway extended into the dark night, and the destroyed portions of the railway could be seen everywhere.

n

nChen Yiming’s figure was like a ghost as he followed behind Lin Hui’s team. He kept a distance of 10 kilometers from them.

n

nWithin this range, no matter the situation, he would be able to make a move and confirm if the big fish was in Lin Hui’s team.

n

nHe also discovered another abnormality in Lin Hui’s team. There were three people for whom the fight with the beast shadow warriors seemed to be going too smoothly. It was as if this was their body’s innate ability, and it was a stark contrast to the other team members beside them.

n

n“Are you in a hurry to escape?”

n

nChen Yiming roughly guessed the reason and was delighted. He continued to follow closely behind.

n

n…

n

nAfter traveling about seven to eight kilometers away from Jiangdu City, Lin Hui’s team arrived at a narrow area on the railway.

n

nThere were tall mountains on both sides. This portion of the road was completely surrounded, and the weaker side would be easily trapped.

n

n“So much for the beast shadow warriors. Their strength is only for a few minutes. They can’t last for long at all.”

n

n“Hahaha! Your description is too nasty.”

n

nThe fighting was going very smoothly, and the atmosphere in the team became very relaxed.

n

nA killing intent flashed in Natasha’s eyes.

n

nIn order to help her escape from the Daxia Kingdom, the beast shadow warriors hiding in Jiangnan province had sacrificed many of their number. The financial groups behind the organization had also suffered heavy losses, and it was unknown how much manpower and resources they had to spend to recover.

n

nOn the other hand, she was half a step away from the master realm and had already completed the transformation of her spiritual power. Her materialized spiritual power could be turned into small needles that could kill the surrounding special operations unit members who were in her way with just a light touch.

n

nThinking of this, she immediately made a move.

n

nHer materialized spiritual power split into more than 10 small needles that stabbed at a nearby special operations team member.

n

nThe special operations team member felt a dull pain in his temples. A sense of fear suddenly appeared in his heart, and he could barely breathe.

n

nHowever, the feeling of being on the verge of death disappeared as quickly as it came.

n

nEveryone only heard a cry from the female operations team member, Jiang Qing.

n

nJiang Qing was the belle of the security bureau. She was only 25 years old and had a beautiful appearance. She had a tenacious personality and was also quite strong. In the eyes of the team members, she was a perfect goddess.

n

nUsually, with Jiang Qing participating in missions, everyone was full of motivation. They all wanted to perform well and score some extra points in front of Jiang Qing.

n

n“Jiang Qing, are you alright?”

n

nAlmost everyone turned to look towards Natasha.

n

nJiang Qing, whose identity had been switched, had a look of horror on her face. Her entire body was trembling as she looked in a certain direction in the darkness.

n

nThere were three other people in a similar situation to her. They were the team members Yao Jianshu and He Wei, and the bureau chief, Lin Hui.

n

nThis dumbfounded the members of the special operations unit. What was going on? Had they been ambushed?

n

n“Tap tap tap…”

n

nAt this moment, light footsteps sounded from the distance.

n

nChen Yiming walked forward calmly, his gaze fixed on the only woman in the group.

n

nThe other party was wearing a dark green military uniform. On the surface, there were no abnormalities, but the moment she used her materialized spiritual power, her identity was exposed.

n

nThis was the target Chen Yiming had been looking for.

n

n“You… How dare you try to kill me here? The Daxia Kingdom will definitely face the wrath of the entire western world.”

n

nAs Natasha spoke, her entire body became wrapped in a green stream of light. Then, her height increased from about 1.7 meters to three meters.

n

nAt the same time, the dark green military uniform and undergarments inside were blown up. However, there was a layer of scales covering the surface of her skin, so she was not completely naked.

n

nOther than that, the human legs had disappeared, and a seven to eight-meter-long snake tail was coiled by her side instead.

n

nAfter the green light disappeared, the face of a Westerner appeared.

n

nIn terms of appearance, she was undoubtedly beautiful and had an exotic air to her. Just one look at her and one would get excited, and one would want to press this snake beauty down and ravage her.

n

n“Come on, I’m not afraid!”

n

nChen Yiming’s expression turned cold.

n

nHe could join forces with the figure in his mind to fight the enemy, so he did not think that there was any existence on the blue planet that could kill him.

n

nWhen the special operations unit saw Jiang Qing changing into a different person, they were all shocked. They moved quickly and retreated a distance away.

n

nOnly the bureau chief, Lin Hui, along with Wayne and Locke, remained and hid behind Natasha.

n

n“Bureau Chief… you?”

n

n“That’s impossible!”

n

nSomeone exclaimed.

n

nClearly, the chief of the provincial security bureau, Lin Hui, had long been turned into a spy for the evil organization.

n

nThis was outside of everyone’s expectations. It had to be known that Lin Hui had always given off the image of a serious guy. He had made countless contributions and even had a chance of being transferred to the headquarters.

n

nNatasha stared at Chen Yiming. As the distance between them narrowed, her face stiffened.

n

nI was just bluffing. Did you really take it seriously? We’ve already lost a martial master in the Daxia Kingdom. Who would still dare to provoke you?

n

n“Wait! Let’s talk things out…”

n

nBefore she could finish speaking, Natasha’s pupils dilated as a golden fist smashed towards her.

n

nAt that moment, she felt an unparalleled power coming from the fist. A strong sense of danger caused her to put up a resistance with all her might.

n

nAlthough one could materialize their spiritual power at the level half a step away from the master realm, they had yet to master the ability to make use of the power of nature. The strongest power they could use was still the internal force.

n

nNatasha gathered all her internal force into her palms. As she struck out with a counterattack, her snake tail suddenly struck the ground, causing it to explode. Her body quickly dodged to the side.

n

nHowever, just as she moved, her entire body trembled as her protective internal force was forcefully broken through. The golden fist smashed into her chest, and her blood and flesh became a bloody mess.

n

nNatasha was sent flying sideways. She looked at her chest in horror, her eyes flashing with endless despair.

n

nHer body from the neck down had completely disappeared. Her snake tail was sent flying in another direction.

n

nEven those in the master realm would not be able to recover from such injuries. They could only live on in the form of spiritual power. However, humans were not spirits. Without the nourishment of their bodies, in the long term, their spiritual power would gradually dissipate.

n

nChen Yiming charged forward again, shouting, “Die!”

n

nAs he spoke, he punched Natasha’s beautiful face to a pulp. She was unable to withstand even a single blow from his powerful golden internal force even with her transformed spiritual power.

n

nThe aftershock from the punch even blew a huge hole in the mountain opposite them. The entire mountain was filled with soil and grass, and the aftershock blew them away, leaving behind a bare mountain area that looked like a typhoon had swept past.

n

nIn the western world, Natasha, who had the title of Snake Lady, had countless handsome men willing to become her male companions. She was a top socialite in high society and a high-ranking member of a financial group. But she had died here just like that.

n

nNext, without saying anything, Chen Yiming punched Lin Hui, Wayne, and Locke to send them to their deaths. They couldn’t even react in time.

n

n“Eh? I got some Skill Points.”

n

nAfter he defeated Wayne, the martial arts talent panel suddenly appeared. Chen Yiming didn’t know what was going on, but after dealing with these people, he quickly returned to Jiangdu City.

n

n“My god, this is too… violent.”

n

nThe remaining members of the special operations unit watched with their own eyes as their bureau chief, Lin Hui, died tragically on the spot. It was as if he was a chick that was crushed underfoot.

n

n…

n

nOn the way back, Chen Yiming fell into deep thought.

n

nThe martial arts path on the blue planet should reach its limit at the master realm. In other words, he would soon be stuck and his progression would come to a stop. He had to think of a way to resolve this problem.

n

n“For the third talent, the Skill Points required are 100 times that of the first talent. However, with the figure in my mind, it doesn’t seem to be a big problem for me to freely hunt the creatures from the otherworld for Skill Points.”

n

nIn the past, his ability to obtain Skill Points was limited, and he could not waste any of it. Now he had the spiritual figure that could be reborn from his consciousness even if it died in battle.

n

nIt was time to consider adding another talent.

n

n“According to the novels from my previous world, there are powerful creatures with innate abilities in the universe. These creatures don’t need to deliberately search for cultivation techniques, they just need to cultivate step by step.”

n

nThinking of this, he summoned the martial arts talent panel and checked the grayed out talents.

n

nNot long after, he found many talents related to transformation. True Dragon, Phoenix, Golden Bull, Giant, and so on.

n

n“True dragon? The name sounds scary, but it’s impossible for it to reach the level of destroying the world at Level-1. Now, I don’t even have 300 Skill Points. I have to consider it carefully. It’s best if the talents complement each other.”

n

nChen Yiming had the experience of choosing a talent twice, so he wouldn’t rashly add a third one. Once he did, he wouldn’t be able to undo his choice.

n

n…

n

nAt the train station in Jiangdu City, teams of soldiers patrolled the surrounding streets. Many people who were suspected to have direct or indirect contact with the evil organization were captured.

n

nThe government staff in charge of the investigation had combed through every household thoroughly, not letting go of any suspicious points.

n

nAs Lu Feng’s girlfriend on the surface, Zhang Yan was quickly captured after the incident. At this moment, she was brought to the city guardian, Zhou Hongquan, for questioning.

n

n“The thing is, on the night of Lu Feng’s accident… Lu Feng brought me to visit bureau chief Lin Hui.”

n

nZhang Yan recounted how she discovered that there was something amiss with Lu Feng.

n

n“Since you knew that there’s something wrong with Lu Feng, why didn’t you report it to the relevant departments? You’re still a reporter, don’t you have any awareness of the situation? How do things usually work at the television station?”

n

nZhou Hongquan’s expression did not look too good, and his tone was much more stern. When Zhang Yan heard this, she almost cried.

n

n“I didn’t have any evidence, so I couldn’t prove anything. Besides, Lu Feng is the leader of the organization department. When I looked for the leader of the martial arts bureau previously, he didn’t believe me at all,” Zhang Yan explained softly with tears in her eyes.

n

nHowever, Zhou Hongquan’s expression turned even uglier.

n

nThe leader of the martial arts bureau in Jiangdu City was undoubtedly problematic in terms of how he went about his work. Whether there was anything fishy about him would definitely need to be investigated later.

n

nOn the other hand, Zhang Yan’s act of protecting herself first was understandable, but he could not agree with it. If they had started investigating from Lu Feng earlier, he did not know how many casualties could have been prevented.

n

nEven the train station would not be attacked by the beast shadow warriors.

n

nWhile Zhou Hongquan was feeling sorry for the casualties, Chen Yiming had returned to the train station.

n

n“It’s him. He was the one who investigated Lu Feng with me. I’m not the only one who is responsible for this.”

n

nZhang Yan saw Chen Yiming walking over and pointed him out to Zhou Hongquan.

n

n“This is?”

n

nChen Yiming looked at Zhou Hongquan in confusion.

n

nZhou Hongquan was instantly embarrassed. From Zhang Yan’s words, a young man from the victim’s family had investigated Lu Feng with her, and they had spent a lot of time together.

n

nZhou Hongquan wouldn’t have cared if it was anyone else, but it was Chen Yiming.

n

nAs an experienced person, how could he not know about the matters between men and women?

n

nIn fact, Zhou Hongquan deduced that Chen Yiming had already stolen Lu Feng’s girlfriend. Otherwise, how could he explain Zhang Yan’s willingness to investigate Lu Feng’s actions?

n

n“It’s a small matter. I asked Reporter Zhang about Lu Feng, but it’s all fine now.”

n

nZhou Hongquan smiled.

n

nHis expression changed so quickly that Zhang Yan’s eyes widened.

n

n“Yes.”

n

nChen Yiming nodded his head.

n

nThen, he said, “I just dealt with a big fish. The other party was hiding in Lin Hui’s team. I wonder if there’s another one.”

n

nHearing this, Zhou Hongquan stopped smiling and asked with a serious expression, “Where is the other party now?”

n

n“I lost control of my strength and killed her,” Chen Yiming said truthfully.

n

nIn reality, it was Natasha who had threatened that the western world would take their revenge on him. In a fit of anger, he had not even thought of holding back. Another reason was that he had overestimated the strength of his opponent who was half a step away from the master realm. He did not expect her to be defeated with just one punch.

n

n“What about bureau chief Lin Hui?”

n

nZhou Hongquan was about to ask further, but he remembered that Chen Yiming had returned alone, so he didn’t say anything. It was obvious that he had been defeated.

n

nAs for the exact situation, he could just ask the special operations team led by Lin Hui.

n

nChen Yiming had informed Zhou Hongquan about the matter and was about to leave. Before he left, Zhou Hongquan smiled and told Zhang Yan that there was no problem and that she could forget about this matter.

n

nZhang Yan still couldn’t figure out why Zhou Hongquan’s attitude was different from before. Seeing that Chen Yiming was about to leave, she quickly chased after him and prepared to tell him about the situation with Lu Feng at Lin Hui’s house.

n
