After bidding her farewell, Jiang He walked towards Lingzhou City.
At the same time, at a crossroads 500 meters away from the Martial Arts Department (MAD) in Lingzhou City, Li Fei was leaning against his BMW in a suit and sunglasses, smoking.
Beside him was a middle-aged man.
He was a rank-two martial artist.
Aside from them, there were also four armed police officers who were inspecting the passing cars and pedestrians.
Of course, compared to outside the city, the security inside the city was much looser.
After all, the MAD was right next to the city, and there was a lot of traffic in the city. If the security was too strict, it would definitely cause serious traffic jams, which would make things easier.
Jiang He entered the city, traversing the streets and alleys as he headed towards the MAD.
"Eh?"
Still smoking, Two Dog Li took off his sunglasses and exclaimed in delight, "Why are you here, Jiang He?"
He walked up to him.
Jiang He smiled. "I've come to the MAD for some business. Why haven't I seen you … your face …"
There were several scars on Two Dog Li's face, and it seemed that he was scratched by something.
At that, Two Dog Li flashed a pained smile. "A few days ago, there was a case of a pet attacking someone in the city. The pet had evolved into a Feral, so I went to capture it and tame it using the beast-taming method you taught me, but there was a small accident."
？？？
Jiang He did a double take before exclaiming in surprise, "I taught you beast-taming?"
What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know how to tame a beast myself!
Li Fei grumbled, "Didn't you say so? If it's obedient, it'll live. If it's disobedient, it'll be killed. I communicated with the evolved pet according to your method … but I couldn't beat it … "
Pfft!
Jiang He could not help laughing out loud, and only held back his laughter when he saw Li Fei's' what the hell 'expression. "I'm not laughing at you … hahahaha!"
"…"
Li Fei scowled even harder.
At the same time.
There was a guesthouse beside the crossroads.
The guesthouse was not big and only had four floors.
The curtains of a certain room on the fourth floor were tightly shut.
Two ragged figures were sitting on the bed. One of them was middle-aged, burly and had a profound aura, and was a rank-five novice martial artist. The other appeared to be in his thirties, and his skin was sickly white.
They were the Sky Demon Cultists that the MAD was searching for throughout the city.
The most dangerous place was the safest. Over the last three days, the Martial Arts Department (MAD) had basically turned every corner of Lingzhou City upside down, but the MAD's vicinity just had to be exposed.
"No, we have to leave this place!"
The pale-skinned man growled. "The Martial Arts Department (MAD) would find this place sooner or later. We're dead when that happens!"
"I won't!"
The middle-aged man seethed. "I booked this hotel half a month ago using an unrelated person's ID card. The MAD wouldn't be able to find this place."
Although he said that, there was not much confidence on his face.
After all, if you stay in the hotel and don't go out for a long time, you will definitely attract the attention of the hotel staff. Also … even if you order takeout, you have to interact with the delivery person, right?
If he was recognized, it would be difficult for him to escape.
At this moment, the two of them were extremely nervous.
Run?
The Martial Arts Department (MAD) had set up an all-encompassing net. How could he escape?
Moreover, they had reached out to the Tranquil Heavenly General over the last few days, who had ordered them to stay hidden and obey orders. Would they dare to make a rash decision? Otherwise, they would be disobeying the Heavenly General's orders, and would be punished!
The Sky Demon Cult's punishment …
It was worse than death!
The pale-skinned man walked up to the window and carefully parted a corner of the curtains to look outside. His eyes lit up when he found the skies overcast, and he exclaimed, "It's going to rain."
He was a B-class water-type Awakened whose ability could match a rank-five novice. However, his many moves would be strengthened in a rainstorm, and he could fight even rank-six pinnacle.
He looked outside.
His water-type superpower allowed him to clearly sense the storm brewing in the skies.
"Eh?"
His eyes tightened all of a sudden, and he turned towards Jiang He, who was conversing with Li Fei by the crossroads. "Jiang He?" he asked somberly.
On the bed.
The middle-aged man did a double take at those words, and said by reflex, "Don't mention Jiang He to me. We wouldn't have failed this mission if not for him, and you and I would be meritorious subjects of the Holy Faith!"
His tone was venomous, and he seethed through clenched teeth, "Where did that bastard come from?"
"I, Zhang Yuzhong, will kill him if I learn anything about him!"
The pale-skinned man stared tightly at Jiang He. He was an Awakened, and even if he did not cultivate in martial arts, his physique far surpassed the average person's, and he could clearly see Jiang He's facial features even from 200 meters away.
Though they did not have precise information about Jiang He, they at least knew his appearance, and that was why he seethed, "Jiang He is over there!"
"What?"
The middle-aged man, Zhang Yuzhong, arrived by the window, his gaze overflowing with a vicious glint and killing intent.
Whipping out an encrypted satellite phone, he dialed the Tranquil Heavenly General's number and reported the situation.
On the other end, the Tranquil Heavenly General's hoarse voice was almost bellowing as he bellowed, "Kill him! All of you attack at once and break out of the encirclement to the east! The Earth Demon Heavenly General has rendezvoused with me, and we'll move at once to receive you!"
… …
At the crossroads.
Jiang He, who was chatting with Li Fei, frowned and glanced at the hotel in the distance.
Li Fei asked in confusion, while Jiang He smiled. "Maybe I'm imagining things, but I keep having the feeling that someone is watching me."
His mind, however, began to flicker.
Imagining things?
No way.
Having cultivated to his level in martial arts, Jiang He was extremely sensitive to all auras. Just now, he even sensed a killing intent directed at him.
Glancing at the hotel, he said, "Stay on guard, Li Fei. I have something to do, so I'm heading over there."
Striding across the zebra crossing, he headed towards the hotel.
The feeling of being watched rose in his heart again, and Jiang He paused below the hotel, looking up at the skies.
The rolling clouds were almost within reach, and a gust of wind abruptly arose, followed by a drizzle.
At first, the drizzle was intermittent, but it turned into a downpour in just two minutes. Soon, puddles formed on the ground, and the raindrops formed bubbles as they fell upon the puddles.
Jiang He lowered his head to look at his feet.
The position he was standing in was obviously higher than the surrounding terrain, but the strange thing was that the surrounding water was surging towards him.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, the puddles on the ground shot up, turning into streaks of water arrows that shot towards Jiang He.
"Die, Jiang He!"
Zhang Yuzhong bellowed as he leapt down from the fourth floor. There was no telling what secret technique he had unleashed, but his body shone with bloody radiance and his aura was unstoppable, and he slashed at Jiang He with a dagger in hand.
Charging Indestructible Diamond, the silhouette of a golden bell materialized around Jiang He's body. He did not even look, and simply allowed the water arrows to hit him.
Behind him, the silhouette of a great sun appeared amidst the curtain of rain, vaporizing it into substantial white mist.
He swung his Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse at the skies, sending the figure who had leapt down from the fourth floor flying over ten meters before crashing heavily onto the ground. He could not be deader than dead.
Clink, clink, clink!
The water arrows that could pierce steel struck the silhouette of the golden bell with the sound of clashing steel, before exploding.
A silhouette appeared in the rain.
It was the pale-faced Sky Demon Cultist.
His face was brimming with killing intent at first, but he was left dumbstruck by what happened before his eyes before he could erupt.
It was too fast!
Everything had happened too fast!
Less than two seconds had passed from the moment he unleashed his killing move, Zhang Yuzhong descending from the skies to when Jiang He slapped him to death. That was why Jiang He could clearly feel the change in the Sky Demon Cultist's expression.
From killing intent to bewilderment.
？？？
What should I do?
Waiting online!
He was holding a rainwater sword in his hand, and yet … he did not know what to do!
