Jiang He muttered and promptly hung up.
He sent a voice message over WeChat.
Wang Siyu replied with a voice message. "I can hear you now. Where are you, Jiang He?"
"I'm at the cornfield east of the village."
"East of the village?"
Wang Siyu's tone changed, and she quickly said, "There was an explosion there just now, and I've received word that the elites of the Sky Demon Cult are coming for you. Hurry back, our captain will be here soon!"
"Elites of the Sky Demon Cult?"
Jiang He replied with a voice message before taking a picture of Cordo's corpse. Though it was night, the picture was rather clear with the flash turned on.
After sending the picture, Jiang He asked, "Are you talking about this dwarf? I've already killed him, as well as the beast-tamer of the Sky Demon Cult and a dozen Ferals … hold on! "
"Where's the python?"
"Oh no, one of the Ferals isn't dead and probably escaped. I'll deal with it first, and we'll talk later."
After sending the voice message, Jiang He promptly put away his phone.
He looked around and quickly found some traces.
The python was so huge that it left a mess wherever it passed. There was no telling how many cornfields were flattened, and it was injured by the explosion of the pea, leaving a trail of blood behind it.
Jiang He strode out and gave chase.
"Damn it!"
"One of them actually escaped?"
"That python is a rank-one Feral and worth ten merit points, or a hundred thousand bucks. How could a duck that's already in its mouth escape now?"
… …
In the village.
Jiang He's house.
As the WeChat notification jingled on her phone, Wang Siyu opened her WeChat conversation with Jiang He and saw the photo at first glance. She could not help staring blankly when she clicked on it, and soon clicked on the voice message, Jiang He's words clearly reaching her ears.
"Well …"
"That rank-four Sky Demon Cult martial artist was killed by Jiang He?"
"And a dozen Ferals and an Awakened?"
All Wang Siyu could feel was her head ringing incessantly, and she could not come to her senses just then.
That was when Captain Duan called.
"Wang Siyu, I'm at the entrance to your village. Where are you?"
"I'll be right there."
Wang Siyu took a deep breath and came to the entrance of the village. She saw a Passat parked there.
Beside the Passat stood a middle-aged man in a trench coat.
He was about 1.75 meters tall and had an ordinary appearance. However, as he stood there casually, he gave off a sharp and forceful feeling.
Duan Tianhe.
The peak of the sixth-grade Martial Dao!
No!
He was already at the Seventh Rank.
The trip to Dong Mountain this time was fraught with danger. Under the terror of life and death, Duan Tianhe's martial arts realm had reached the grandmaster realm in one go. However, he did not make a public announcement after his breakthrough.
"How's the situation?"
Duan Tianhe's expression was solemn. The first thing he asked was about Jinyintan Village.
Wang Siyu pondered for a moment. She didn't know what to say, so she handed her phone over.
On the screen was the photo Jiang He had sent him.
"What is it?"
Duan Tianhe glanced at it and his expression changed slightly. He enlarged the photo again and looked at it carefully. He exclaimed in surprise, "Cordo?"
"Do you know him, Captain Duan?"
Wang Siyu asked, to which Duan Tianhe replied, "Cordo is a rank-four pinnacle martial artist from the Xijiang. He's adept with the blade and his weapon is a scimitar. Before the Revival of Qi, he was just an average street thug who knows some martial arts passed down in his family. After the Revival of Qi, his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds and he became bolder. He has committed over a dozen major murders and was once on the Bureau's wanted list."
"Around June last year, the Xijiang Special Forces managed to capture Cordo, but they were ambushed by the Sky Demon Cult on the way."
Duan Tianhe appeared pained. "A good friend of mine was in charge of that operation. Cordo was rescued by the Sky Demon Cult, and he must have joined them … By the way, where did you get this photo?"
"Jiang He sent it to me."
Wang Siyu said. "It seems that Cordo is an elite sent by the Sky Demon Cult to deal with Jiang He. Still, Jiang He had already resolved the crisis and said that he killed Cordo, as well as a Sky Demon Cult beast-tamer and a dozen Ferals."
"What?"
There was a look of surprise on Duan Tianhe's face as he said, "Come, let's get in the car. I'm suddenly eager to meet Jiang He."
Duan Tianhe could not help being surprised.
Most of all, Jiang He's information had changed too quickly.
He had read Jiang He's information from the very beginning.
He was suspected to be a C-class beast-tamer.
But in just a few days, Jiang He's information was suspected to be a B-class beast-tamer, and a rank-two or even rank-three martial artist.
He had just received the latest information about Jiang He at Mount Dadong yesterday. How did it happen in the blink of an eye …
He killed even a rank-four pinnacle Cordo?
The Passat cut through the village, and soon arrived at the eastern end of the village.
Duan Tianhe and Wang Siyu arrived at the cornfield to find that it was a mess. Twelve rank-one Feral corpses were laid in a row, with a rank-two Feral corpse lying beside them.
Cordo's corpse was right beside the mangled rank-two corpse.
Duan Tianhe looked around and said, "These Ferals were all killed by a bomb, and it looks like the bomb was not weak … where did Jiang He get it?"
Firearms and ammunition were contraband in the Hua Nation, and most people would not be able to get their hands on them.
However, Duan Tianhe didn't dwell on this matter. His gaze landed on Cordo's chest as he said, "Cordo was slapped to death with a single palm strike. His five viscera and six bowels were ruptured, and his vitality was gone. There were no other injuries on his body, so he was killed in a second."
"Instant kill?"
Wang Siyu exclaimed in surprise. "Jiang He had only ascended to rank-four today … could a novice rank-four kill a rank-four pinnacle martial artist in an instant?"
"There was a slight chance if it was an ambush, but Cordo's wound was on his chest, and it was clearly a head-on kill …" Duan Tianhe breathed a long sigh before somberly saying, "Jiang He is not simple. Are you sure he only reached rank-four today? Not even rank-five pinnacle martial artists could kill Cordo with a single palm … by the way, didn't you say that Jiang He had killed a Sky Demon Cult beast-tamer? "
"Where's Jiang He? Why don't I see him? "
That was when a dull rumble echoed. Jiang He was dragging a python that was half a meter thick and over a dozen meters long as he darted out of the cornfield.
Before he even arrived, the sound of cursing could already be heard.
"How could that vermin run so fast?"
"Over a hundred Mu of the cornfield has been destroyed …"
