Chapter 608: Chapter 285 Giant City Trembles_2
“The speed of that arrow was too fast, so fast that the moment I detected the spiritual energy fluctuation, the villa had already been destroyed. Only after the destruction did the traces in the mountains emerge. This arrow startled all the spiritual ability users in Giant City!”
“Even I would have no confidence in dodging such an arrow. It seemed to have crossed countless distances in an instant and struck the target as soon as it was shot.”
Little Mad King gave a very high appraisal.
She was already the strongest master of stealth in Giant City, with a frighteningly fast movement speed.
Even she wasn’t sure she could evade it, which showed just how terrifying that one arrow was…
Too powerful!
Li Yelai was shocked. If the Wilderness Ranger knew he was the Blood God Chosen One, would that arrow have been reserved for him? Then his death would be too unjust!
At that moment, an anxious voice came from the doorway: “Sir!”
It was Cheng Mei, understandably so. At this distance, the Church’s allies being attacked would naturally terrify the believers.
That was also why Li Yelai had returned to the physical world ahead of time.
Li Yelai pushed open the grand door and saw Cheng Mei, sweating profusely, quickly saying, “Sir, our ally, Lord Qin Zhi, has been attacked, suspected to be by the Fifth God believers.”
“I saw it,” Li Yelai said coldly. “How is Qin Zhi’s condition? Has the enemy been found? Has the official response been alerted?”
“Qin Zhi’s status is unknown, and our people are rushing to the scene. The enemy has vanished, but the processors have also been alarmed and are approaching rapidly. We dare not investigate further.” Cheng Mei quickly replied, “Sir, please enter the underground safehouse first.”
“What use would that be?” Li Yelai scoffed. “Could this safehouse even withstand that arrow?”
Cheng Mei turned pale, indeed, if the enemy shot another arrow of the same power, no safehouse would be of any use.
Even an Emperor’s Fall Chosen One would perish under that arrow.
“The enemy has not discovered us yet, let’s not panic. If we are found, that would be bad,” Li Yelai said. “Now, first go check on Qin Zhi’s situation.”
“Yes!” Cheng Mei nodded and hurriedly left.
Li Yelai then sat in the hall, eating the fruits provided by the believers while waiting for the event’s repercussions.
…
Elsewhere, in a safehouse of Border City No. 2, Wolf Map was covered in cold sweat.
Upon seeing Qin Zhi’s death, he immediately evacuated from the ark.
He knew, trouble was brewing!
Thus, after returning to the physical world, Wolf Map immediately stripped off his clothes.
At the same time, his previously robust muscles began to dissolve and fell off in chunks onto the ground.
A naked and slender figure stepped out from the remains.
Minutes later, a fairly attractive woman wrapped in a black coat walked out of the room.
Nearby, an official processor saw her and greeted her with a smile: “Captain Feixue, did you have a good nap?”
The woman smiled and nodded: “I just can’t break the habit… any updates?”
Just then, an alarm sounded. The processor glanced at the screen and changed his expression: “Captain, in the outskirts of North City New District, a strong spiritual energy fluctuation has been detected.”
Captain Feixue’s expression shifted slightly: “The nearby teams must immediately investigate. Can we conjecture who it might be?”
“It’s suspected to be the Wilderness Ranger!” the processor replied.
“Him?” Feixue’s expression changed, and she then nodded: “Then I must go see for myself.”
“Yes!” the processor added, “Also, the Red Clothes Team is about to arrive at the scene. They will conduct the investigation. It’s unclear why the Wilderness Ranger would strike there…”
“Ma Family’s Red Clothes? Understood,” Feixue nodded.
She then led a few seasoned Ye Boshou and quickly headed to the site.
…
On the other hand, inside the villa.
The specially reinforced safety walls had been penetrated.
The two Fifth-Sense bodyguards and Qin Zhi, who were originally in the underground safehouse, had all turned into blood mist.
Qin Zhi’s body above the abdomen had completely vanished into a blood mist.
Only the lower half of his body slid off the shattered chair.
And next to him, Liu Sheng had his left arm and left leg mercilessly torn to shreds.
She struggled to crawl out of the rubble, her eyes wide with horror as she looked at the lower half of Qin Zhi’s body.
Then, Liu Sheng desperately hid herself in a blind spot, fearing the enemy would strike with another arrow.
In reality, hiding in that spot was useless against that arrow.
But as a Sixth Sense Spiritual Ability User, even having lost an arm and a leg, she still retained the ability to move.
She controlled the Spiritual Barrier, desperately trying to seal her wound to stop the bleeding.
Immediately thereafter, she endured the intense pain and activated her ability. As a Netherworld Path Spiritual Ability User, her mobility and stealth were also exceedingly exceptional.
She turned into a wisp of black smoke, snatched up a briefcase with one hand and quickly disappeared into the wreckage.
She couldn’t stay here any longer; the enemy was lurking in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
And as a wanted criminal, she couldn’t be found by the government’s Processors. At least… not by most of them.
So, she had no choice but to escape the villa and head to the nearest allies, to the location of the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One, to seek refuge!
“Wilderness Ranger!” Liu Sheng looked at the deep pit on the ground where the blue flames were still burning. This quickly confirmed the identity of her enemy.
That follower of the Chaos God… the Wilderness Ranger!
Damn it, damn it! She couldn’t believe they had been found by these lunatics!
This beast, when they should have had no dealings with each other, he had taken the initiative to attack and had killed her partner.
Murky tears slid down her bloodstained face.
Her eyes were filled with hatred. Qin Zhi was her partner, her lover.
Both were Spiritual Ability Users and had connections with the Ember Church. They met by chance and kept each other company.
Both had also been chosen by the ark, becoming a recognized couple among the Ark Chosen Ones.
Spiritual Ability Users had long lifespans; they were meant to be together forever, joyfully living among mortals… but the Wilderness Ranger had destroyed it all!
“I will kill you, I must annihilate all the Wilderness Rangers! Exterminate all the followers of the Fifth God!”
Tears streaming down her face, she continued to sneak through the woods, moving closer to the estate.
She intended to use the strength of the Blood God Chosen One to capture and kill the Ranger, and spend the rest of her life continuously seeking revenge.
She hated the Wilderness Ranger for destroying her life, but how many lives had she… destroyed herself?
She had her lover, Qin Zhi, but did those innocent people who died at their hands not have the right to love and be loved?
Were those tens of thousands supposed to die, to become stepping stones for her happiness?
Ridiculous!
And a few minutes later, the nearest Processor from Giant City arrived at the scene.
The newcomer was none other than Ma Hongyi, who had once fought side by side with Li Yelai.
After acting in the Heavenly Kingdom, he led his team back to Giant City for repairs. He had been honing tactics at the training ground on the outskirts.
He entered the villa draped in a red robe and his expression changed slightly when he saw three bodies in the basement.
“Red Clothes, this basement has been specially reinforced. It contains Extraordinary Materials,” said Ye Boshou.
“Find out the owner of this villa,” Red Clothes replied before reaching out to touch the remains of the three bodies. His expression darkened again.
The three corpses, one a Sixth Sense and two a Fifth Sense!
To think such high-level Spiritual Ability Users were hiding here? Damn it! What kind of disaster could they cause if they acted rashly?
Then, another Ye Boshou spoke up, “From the traces, there should have been another injured person at the scene. But the trail has been lost, probably a Netherworld Path Spiritual Ability User, unknown strength.”
“Well done, Wilderness Ranger… you’ve drawn out a big fish for me,” Red Clothes muttered to himself, then asked, “Have you found him?”
“We’re in pursuit, but we found the position from which he shot the arrows,” another Ye Boshou replied: “He left a signal for us there. We’ve taken pictures.”
“A signal, not a trap?” Red Clothes frowned and then activated his Communicator.
He saw two photos.
In one picture, a wanted poster was nailed to a tree with a large X marked across it.
And on the wanted poster was none other than Qin Zhi!
The second photo was of the back of the wanted poster.
‘There’s one more, I’ll leave the finding to you.’
