It’s only after experiencing so much over the years that I understand, those above always have a foundation for whatever they do. If Lu Ren was truly just a murderer, why would there be an official order to stop the investigation?
Today’s Huaxia is not like before. Even if one can montarily cause chaos, the end is never good.
The two passed each other quietly, just about to leave when Lu Ren suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking forward with a sowhat heavy expression.
After stepping into the realm of Great Perfection of the Fist Technique, his spirit realm faintly touched upon Jue Yuan, reaching the point of an implicit aura erging from within.
To put it simply, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit are subtly rging, beginning to unify his spirit and body, gradually giving rise to a profound sensation.
To be more straightforward, his skill level in Phoenix Falcon Fist increased rapidly due to frequent epiphanies, and as his skill level rose, his ntal state manifested so superpowers.
He could faintly sense changes in the magnetic field.
As the ancients said about "observing Qi", it’s closely related to magnetic fields, or rather, observing Qi is about detecting changes in the magnetic field.
"Wow, this person is so tall!"
"Is he cosplaying? Why is he dressed in such armor? Looks really formidable!"
"I feel the other person is very dangerous, look at the knife he’s holding, is that blood?"
A person suddenly appeared ahead, standing nearly two ters tall, clad in black armor, holding a heavy straight knife, the blade full of bloodstains.
Not only was the blade covered, but it was also as if his rugged armor had bathed in blood, seemingly having gone through extrely brutal slaughter, with an endless killing aura emanating from his face, making people shiver involuntarily.
An intense and fierce battlefield aura pressed towards everyone present, making them hesitate to move forward, unable to distinguish whether he was cosplaying or truly a person from the battlefield.
"Could it be?!"
Not far away, Song Jingxian’s expression slightly trembled, suddenly recalling so things from internal training.
She imdiately stepped forward loudly saying, "Everyone, this person might be from the Hidden!"
Having already been subtly influenced by official propaganda, while people in the country found encounters with the Hidden quite rare, they understood it was very dangerous and a slight mistake could be fatal.
After all, the person in front of them dressed strangely, and the object he held in his hand glead coldly under the sunlight, definitely the real deal.
No one in the crowd foolishly wanted to act tough; naturally, officials would co to handle such matters, and not adding to the chaos while ensuring their safety was already considered the greatest contribution.
Lu Ren instinctively glanced at the distant parking lot, then proceeded to stride forward without hesitation.
The car was still there; he needed to retrieve his equipnt. Previously, Xiao Chen strongly insisted he couldn’t bring weapons, so everything was left in the car.
Seeing Lu Ren walking away without hesitation, Song Jingxian glanced at him, not saying much. She looked at the surrounding crowd, then bit her lip and reached into her pocket.
"Sir, please stand still and do not move! I am Song Jingxian, the captain of the criminal division of the Shu Capital. I need to see your identification now."
The tall man, who had been standing still and seed lost in confusion, finally reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the surroundings upon hearing Song Jingxian’s voice, looking down at her, only 1.7 ters tall, standing before him.
The pressure brought by his towering figure, as sturdy as an iron tower, was imnse.
In the eyes of others, Song Jingxian standing in front of the man truly appeared as a delicate flower about to be broken in the storm.
"This place is excellent. I should bring my kin here to propagate."
The tall man rasped, his voice gravelly as if he hadn’t spoken for a long ti, his eyes filled with bloodshot intensity, as crimson as a ravenous wolf!
He looked down at Song Jingxian in front of him.
"Woman, you are quite good. Although your body is weak, you can bear children."
Such blunt and unabashed words coming from the man’s mouth made everyone feel a rough and primitive aura waft over them.
This man seed to be living in a primitive society, still thinking he could find a woman by knocking them out with a club and dragging them away?
The tourists around couldn’t help but scoff when they heard the man’s words.
"Where did this dog co from spewing crap!"
"Oh, oh, oh, this guy surely hasn’t woken up yet, talking without thinking?"
"Hey friend, I’m a psychiatrist from the Shu Capital. I think your condition is serious, please contact our hospital imdiately!"
The words of those around left the man a bit puzzled, not understanding what was ant, but their emotional perceptions let him know their words weren’t kind.
A fierce look erged on his face, raising the heavy saber in his hand. The sharp blade clearly distorted the air with heat, and then the long sword faintly glowed red, slashing 20 ters away at the nearby psychiatrist.
Bang!
A gunshot suddenly echoed at that mont.
The tall man quickly stopped his motion.
Ching!!
The long sword’s sharp whistle ripping through the air suddenly erupted, the bullet was directly t with the half-turned sword.
Clang!
The handgun bullet was forcibly split in half, ricocheting straight to the side.
This scene truly shocked everyone around, making them question their reality.
"Slicing a bullet with a sword, slicing a bullet with a sword!?"
"Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!!!"
Song Jingxian was stunned by what she saw. Even though she had undergone fist technique training internally, she had heard of exceptionally strong martial path practitioners who could dodge bullets.
But executing such a skill, striking a bullet into halves with a turn, only appears in movies.
"Woman, you..."
The man’s raspy voice carried irritation, with a foul odor coming from his mouth that was nauseating, as if he had consud a substantial amount of raw at and blood, and the food residue stuck between his teeth ford a putrid sll.
Song Jingxian furrowed her brows, stepped back repeatedly, and raised her pistol to fire continuously.
Bang bang bang bang!
Confounded by Song Jingxian’s decision to shoot, the man lacked understanding of her mindset but found his expression slightly changing upon hearing the consecutive gunshots.
Without ti to utter any sound, his towering body like a steel tower produced a series of bone-cracking explosions with each motion. Even the armor emitted sparks.
Clang clang clang!
The sounds of impact echoed almost simultaneously. Except for one bullet hitting the chest plate squarely, the other three were blocked by his horizontal sword.
"Hit!"
Soone exclaid, but the cheer abruptly stopped the next mont.
That bullet did nothing but create a shallow, inconspicuous dent on the chest plate, which could hardly compare to the deep mark seemingly cut by a sword on the armor’s edge.
A sense of helplessness and horror spontaneously arose within the people.
"How could it be..."
"Woman!"
The tall man’s deep voice whimpered like a wolf, thick with bubbling sounds in its tone.
Then he raised the great saber in his hand and heavily slashed down upon Song Jingxian’s head.
If hit, a person would be split in half—undeniably.
Dead?!
Song Jingxian gazed blankly at the saber fiercely descending. The fierce wind preceding it had already cut her face, leaving thin bloodlines.
Clang!!
Suddenly, a bright silver sword blade appeared in her sight, presenting a solid clash against the descending heavy saber.
The clinking of tal rose to deafening levels, as if splitting the sky.
Experiencing this grand sound from close range, Song Jingxian’s eardrum ruptured instantaneously, bleeding.
Before she could react, a pain hit her waist, and she was kicked away by Lu Ren like a tattered sack, rolling ten to twenty ters before being hastily caught by tourists. Her face and body were covered with abrasions, and the intense pain in her ribs and waist bulged her eyes, leaving her unable to speak for a while.
At this mont, Lu Ren held the latest Yan-style heavy sword with a slight cunning. He gripped the sword tightly with both hands; veins bulged on his forearms, muscles swelled, and his feet sank three inches into the ground, cracking the surrounding stone tiles.
Can’t brace against the opponent!
The sword in his hand couldn’t endure such high-intensity heavy slashing.
Amidst rapid and strange breathing, he unknowingly guided mysterious particles into his body, producing an unexplained strength that made him grunt. The heavy saber was actually lifted back several inches.
Then, Lu Ren released the sword grip with his left hand and seized the fleeting opening. His fist, like a Phoenix Falcon, punctured the air with a sharp screeching sound, aiming at the tall man’s eyes.
"Hmm?!"
The man emitted an odd sound, quickly retreated, narrowly evading Lu Ren’s strike.
The two returned to their previous standing positions.
The opponent’s attack seed to carry a certain burning breath, with a clear inclination towards aggression, not simply body heat from high-intensity movent.
It was either inherent to the heavy saber or transmitted from the physique through the palms onto the saber.
But Lu Ren could precisely perceive the opponent’s transmission thod.
The advantages of heightened senses were easily capitalized at this mont.
"Ding, you have attracted Kuishan’s attention; he seems to have so odd thoughts about you."
Ignoring the system’s notification in his mind, Lu Ren remained serene, instinctively executing breathing and exhaling techniques that, with each breath, spontaneously drew mysterious particles from unknown realms to rge into his body, generating strands of fresh energy.
"Then, where are you from?"
Kuishan spoke without any more dryness, his previously rusty speech becoming familiar in this montary dialogue.
Lu Ren’s expression was tranquil, barely acknowledging the interface, his mind as calm as a mirror-like lake.
This peculiar state of spirit realm allowed him to easily control and reflect his body.
Exerting imnse micro-control over his body functions, managing each muscle tweak, and organ operation.
This precise control enabled him to instantaneously release human limits, thereby unleashing power far surpassing the ordinary.
