[After committing the murders, Jiang Xing did not leave; instead, he purposefully stayed in the factory to "hunt," killing hundreds of officers again, including an Apprentice Death God.]
[Finally, SWAT deployed ninety percent of the police force in the Midtown Area to apprehend him.]
[During the ensuing trial, Jiang Xing did not reveal any motive for the killings, only falling asleep at the trial site, completely indifferent to the verbal abuses and interrogations.]
[Due to conclusive evidence and an extrely brutal cri style, Jiang Xing was sentenced to life imprisonnt and incarcerated in Floating Island Prison, with no further reports about him since.]
[Target power: Detection shows the target is an Apprentice Death God, sequence unknown for now, with strength approximately at Tier One peak.]
...
Looking at the intelligence before him, Yun You slightly furrowed his brows, involuntarily recalling a major event that once shook Nest City.
"The Radiant Factory massacre case..."
Three years ago, in a factory under the Nest City E District's Biotechnology, a heinous incident occurred. Thousands of people in the factory were slaughtered overnight, the dead uncountable, and the corpses were reportedly in such a grueso state that not even one complete body was found among the over 3,000; only severed limbs littered the ground.
Initially, people thought it was the outbreak of a Death Domain event, as E District counted as Central City and was even more prosperous than Yun You's Huangxing Group's location in G District, with impeccable security. It generally required a large-scale Death Domain to massacre so many people.
But later, people were horrified to discover that this tragedy was not caused by a Death Domain, but by a single person—an even not-yet-adult 17-year-old boy.
No one knew how he did it, nor did anyone understand his motives.
Even the Nest City police, known for their expertise in interrogation and fondness for using the "Great mory Recovery Technique," couldn't extract any information from him.
So, for a ti, people regarded Jiang Xing as a born villain, a devil in human skin...
And now, this devil had appeared before Yun You, and even inexplicably possessed the power of an Apprentice Death God.
[The newcor has ill intentions, Yun kid.]
Master Zero couldn't help but murmur a couple of words.
But Yun You didn't dwell on Jiang Xing's past, instead recalling another matter.
"Around 20 years old, gender unknown, not weak, and most likely an Apprentice Death God..."
"Could it be that this guy is the 'Frost Clan' child, the one attempting to assassinate Mokaka?"
The possibility was considerable.
Thus, the little girl clutched her fists slightly and straightforwardly asked, "Jiang Xing..."
"Is your real surna 'Frost'?"
Upon this, Jiang Xing was stunned, and a hint of confusion flickered in his dark red eyes.
After a mont, as if he rembered sothing, he calmly shook his head.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I, Jiang Xing, have never changed my na nor used a pseudonym or alias."
This left Yun You puzzled.
Judging from that montary reaction, Jiang Xing might indeed not understand the aning of "Frost."
But this was perplexing.
If he was the one trying to kidnap Mokaka, a mber of the Frost Clan, it wouldn't make sense for him to have no reaction to his own surna.
It didn't align with Yun You's speculations.
However, she couldn't completely rule out the possibility that Jiang Xing was lying.
Perhaps the unique attributes of the Death God Sequence helped him conceal his lies.
Thinking it over, Yun You decided to keep her suspicions to herself.
She compiled Jiang Xing's information and sent it to Yuanbao in the distance via private communication.
That guy Yuanbao was also skilled in hacker techniques; maybe he could find sothing out.
"Alright, no need to get close to ."
Jiang Xing took a deep breath, then crossed his arms, assuming a combat stance.
"I have only one purpose for being here, and that is to kill everyone, including you."
"Or... be killed by you guys."
As the words dropped, he unceremoniously swung his fist at Yun You's face.
As Jiang Xing advanced, the debris within ten ters was all shaken up, and his fist, wrapped in a spiral blast, was launched, mixed with scarlet blood.
"So fast!"
Yun You was slightly surprised, hurriedly raising the dragon gun remnants to block.
Boom!
The pot-sized fist struck the dragon gun barrel, sending Yun You and the gun tumbling back several ters!
The little girl was shocked to the point where her tiger's mouth split, and her hands felt sowhat numb.
Her own strength was already quite astounding, yet the boy's strength surprisingly exceeded hers by a bit.
That wasn't a power an intern Death God should possess. Clearly, Jiang Xing had utilized the Power of Sequence.
And the "Sword Shield" Death God emblem glowing on his forehead verified this.
Sequence Five·Guard.
This was a lee-specialized type of Death God Sequence, even superior to the Mad Dog Sequence in terms of raw power and close-range combat ability.
"First Sequence Attribute: Iron Mountain!"
Jiang Xing murmured, twirling his body to swing his fist again, with blazing red light erupting from the gaps in his bandages.
This ti, his punch's speed broke the sound barrier at the mont of release, and the shockwave directly carved out a long trench.
Yun You barely managed to avoid it, yet her left ear was still shook, oozing beads of blood.
The little girl saw it clearly: after activating the sequence, Jiang Xing had gained monstrously unusual strength, a purely physical force not restricted by a Power Suppressor.
"After getting hit twice, it's my turn now!"
Yun You sidestepped, swinging a punch as the dragon gun transford mid-air into a curved blade, slashing at Jiang Xing's neck!
Yet, just as the blade was about to touch Jiang Xing's skin, a hexagonal light shield appeared on his surface, blocking the curved blade in midair.
Even though it couldn't fully withstand the Red Scale Blade's power, the latter's wind still inflicted a shallow new injury on the boy. But such an injury was insignificant to an Apprentice Death God accustod to injury.
"A second ability?"
Yun You slightly furrowed her brows.
One sequence logically wouldn't contain only one attribute.
Her own [Invisible] sequence, for instance, possessed the "Divine Concealnt" and "Divine Extraction" attributes.
Yet she hadn't expected that such a regular sequence as Guard could develop two distinct attributes.
The light shield wasn't fixed, but constantly reconstituted according to attack angles, even reflecting part of the energy back at the mont of impact, causing counter-shock damage to Yun You.
"It's slightly tricky now."
Yun You licked her lips; though her eyes glead with a bit of earnestness, her fighting spirit left unabated.
"Continue!"
She aid for an angle to swing her blade again.
But just then, Mokaka's voice suddenly ca through her earpiece.
"You can start singing, Ms. Wu Ming."
"The guy in front of you isn't easy to deal with; he has a strong killing aura. But if we perform together, the power of the song might suppress his murderous intentions."
