“Swish, swish, swish, swish—!”

Silver arrows sped through the air, embedding deeply into the plastic floor of the boxing ring.

At this moment, each of the spectator stands on all four sides had ten archers releasing arrows from their bows, but no matter how well-trained these ordinary people were, their reaction speed had its limits.

In the past, their superior eyesight had been a boon, but now they couldn’t even catch a glimpse of their target’s shadow!

That blurry phantom seemed like an incredibly agile gust of wind, flashing through their line of sight a few times before evading or deflecting every arrow.

Merely sweeping through the crowd of archers, a fleeting and indistinct shadow of a staff flickered, and one by one, the archers fell to the ground, incapacitated.

...

“This speed…”

Inside the monitoring room of the underground boxing arena, Sister Yang’s pupils contracted, staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding on the monitors.

In the footage captured by the high-speed camera, she could clearly see the terrifyingly fast movements of the young patrol officer, which made her heart skip a beat even from behind the screen.

Was this really a patrol officer who had only been officially appointed for two months?

How could he be so powerful?

On the monitor, it was nothing short of a massacre!

These fifty professionally trained archers she had painstakingly cultivated at her boxing arena, who should have been a challenge even for someone of captain level, were being slaughtered so effortlessly?

It was true that his speed outmatched the archers, but it was excessively fast!

Moreover, it wasn’t just his speed that was alarming, but also how eerily fluid his movements were—turning and doubling back in an instant with such precision and smoothness that it seemed effortless?

Such unpredictable movements made it impossible for the archers to predict his path and shoot their arrows!

“He must have mastered more than two combat skills, and definitely at the instinct level…”

The more Sister Yang thought about it, the more shocked she became.

“This monstrously talented combat genius actually joined the patrol?”

Suddenly, Sister Yang clenched her teeth and quickly turned to leave the monitoring room.

This scene made her realize that she had to escape.

Although the surveillance records and data were still in the process of being destroyed and deleted, and there were many things left unset, if she didn’t evacuate now, she would likely die at the hands of this young patrol officer!

“While Zhang Zhu tries to hold him off, I still have a chance to escape…”

After leaving the monitoring room, Sister Yang tried to walk as quietly as possible, swiftly moving along the corridor.

She knew Zhang Zhu’s capabilities.

Although Zhang Zhu couldn’t possibly stop the patrol officer, he was skilled in the Seven-Star Practice Method and mastered a combat skill that was particularly effective against fast-moving foes.

Coupled with the remaining archers, they could at least buy her some time before their demise.

That time would be enough for her to retrieve the outer space coins hidden in the secret compartment of the safe in her office.

“And the Super Sensing Liquid, I must take it with me as well.”

The thought crossed Sister Yang’s mind.

This substance could only be produced by Intelligent Star Group and would fetch a fortune at auction in the black market.

It was only because the boss wanted to support Xiao Peidong’s rise to power that such a precious treasure like the Super Sensing Liquid could be offered.

“There should be enough time…”

Suddenly—

“Bang!”

After a loud gunshot, Sister Yang felt a numbness in her right leg followed by a surge of intense pain, nearly causing her to fall.

Had she been shot?

She instantly realized she had been shot in the right leg and quickly turned her head to see that a swift figure had appeared in the corridor, rushing towards her.

“Whoosh!”

Sister Yang’s vision blurred, only hearing the wind passing by her ear and immediately understanding that the assailant had moved to her side. Her delicate, jade-like right hand instantly emanated a chilling sharpness, followed by a swift chop of her hand, slicing through the air!

But the assailant was too fast; in the narrow corridor, he had already retreated half a step in an instant, dodging her blade hand.

Immediately following—

“Bang!”

Silver sparks flew from the gun barrel, instantly tearing a bloody hole in her right shoulder.

Even with a body toughened by the Seven-Star Sunrise Training Method, which was many times more durable than that of an ordinary person, without practicing defensive combat skills, she couldn’t withstand such a powerful bullet!

“Ugh!”

Sister Yang grunted, feeling intense pain in her shoulder, and her right arm’s strength draining.

Immediately after, she felt a hard object pressed against her forehead.

——That was the cold muzzle of a gun.

“Move one more time, and I guarantee your head will blossom.”

The emotionally flat voice rang out, instantly stiffening her body, daring not to make any unnecessary movement.

Lin Qing’s fingertips rested on the revolver’s trigger, pressing against the cheongsam-wearing woman’s forehead, he softly said, “Are you the person in charge of this underground boxing arena?”

“Yes.”

Zhou Yang’s face turned pale as she said, “What about Zhang Zhu? Did he escape?”

Could it be that Zhang Zhu realized the terrifying strength of this young patrol officer and didn’t dare to make a move, fleeing instead, allowing the officer to catch up so quickly?

“That bald man?”

Lin Qing glanced at her, “He’s already dead.”

Zhou Yang grew more frightened.

Zhang Zhu had teamed up with the leftover archers, yet they couldn’t even delay for a bit?

Doesn’t that mean this young patrol officer’s strength is even more terrifying than she had anticipated?

At that moment, numerous thoughts arose in her mind.

“I am the person responsible for this underground boxing arena.”

Zhou Yang suddenly spoke in a low voice, “My name is Zhou Yang, and you are Lin Qing, the newly promoted Deputy Captain of the Patrol Bureau, right? I’d like to make a deal with you, one that I’m sure will tempt you.”

“Let’s hear it.” Lin Qing looked at her.

Zhou Yang took a deep breath and said, “Captain Lin, since you’ve joined the patrol system and opted out of the martial arts academy, your qualifications may not be ideal. Are you confident you can master the Original Chaoyang Method?”

“I know you’re trying to buy your life.”

Lin Qing’s fingertip remained steadily on the revolver’s trigger, “Just say it, what do you want to use to buy your life?”

Zhou Yang spoke somberly, “Money, tens of millions in outer space coins. I can help you acquire the best High Energy Release Liquid, the EPS series, have you heard of it? And there’s the legendary Super Sensing Liquid; I can get you that too.”

“Do you have Super Sensing Liquid?” Lin Qing slightly raised his eyebrows.

So… was this what his inexplicable intuition had been craving?

What he most needed right now was indeed the Super Sensing Liquid.

“Yes.”

Zhou Yang said without hesitation, “And it’s here, in this underground boxing arena.”

“You haven’t mastered the Original Chaoyang Method either, have you? If you have Super Sensing Liquid, why haven’t you used it?” Lin Qing asked.

“It’s not for me, I dare not use it.”

Zhou Yang spoke solemnly, “As you can see, Captain Lin, the reason why the Yuanhong Society could afford to hire Chu Tianyao is clearly due to having a bigger backer above us. Frankly, I’m just a puppet, and I dare not resist.”

Lin Qing slightly narrowed his eyes, “The Yuanhong Society’s informant in the Patrol Bureau of Xiao Shan District is Xiao Peidong, right?”

“I can’t say.”

Zhou Yang slowly said, “Captain Lin, if you want to press me for these details, just kill me. Losing the money and the Super Sensing Liquid, I might still live, but if I revealed secrets, I would truly have no way out.”

“Is that so?” Lin Qing scrutinized her briefly, “Tell me, where are the money and the Super Sensing Liquid?”

She swallowed… Zhou Yang silently breathed a sigh of relief and said, “The Super Sensing Liquid is in a safe hidden behind a secret compartment in the wall of my office, and the outer space coins are in another safe hidden in a different secret compartment.”

She added, “However, both safes require fingerprint and iris recognition to open, so I must retrieve them myself.”

Lin Qing watched her, then suddenly moved the gun muzzle and pulled the trigger.

“Bang!”

A bloom of blood burst from Zhou Yang’s left shoulder, and the bullet deeply embedded itself there. Her vision darkened instantly, and her already trembling body rocked slightly, nearly collapsing.

She clenched her teeth tightly and lowered her head, not letting Lin Qing see the resentment in her eyes.

“Stand up, behave yourself.”

Lin Qing continued pointing the gun at her head, his voice gentle, “Otherwise, the next shot will make your head blossom.”

Zhou Yang took a deep breath and said, “Can I stop the bleeding first? If it keeps flowing like this, I won’t last.”

Seeing that Lin Qing remained silent, she reached out with her ice-cold fingertips and ripped the hem of her cheongsam.

Unconcerned that her pale, delicate, and straight legs were exposed, she hurriedly cut strips of cloth, even allowing a glimpse of the base of her legs, seemingly oblivious, and tightly wrapped the wound to temporarily stop the bleeding.

Lin Qing could tell that the woman was using her alluring figure to play the beauty card, challenging a weakness common to all men.

But his particular weakness had already been exploited to the point of exhaustion in his previous life.

So, he just watched coldly, the gun always aimed at her.

After finishing all this in just half a minute, Zhou Yang gritted her teeth, ignoring the pain, and then leaned against the wall to stand up.

“Let’s go,” Lin Qing said.
