Instantly.
He lunged like a fierce dog going after its prey, hands pressing down on Pei Jinye’s shoulders, body suspended in the air, fingers reaching out, viciously clawing towards the throat of the man before him.
And in that split second, that 0.01 second in midair.
His eyes, blurred by blood, were fixed dead on the man in front of him…
But he saw a familiar ghost face.
“Black Shark, guess who I am?”
The Ghost Face Man in front of him suddenly spoke craftily.
This caused a chord in Black Shark’s heart to be abruptly plucked.
“Shadow Bow?”
“No!”
“You are!”
This moment of distraction was already enough for Pei Jinye.
He violently swung his elbow, blocking the sharp claws striking down at him, and retaliated with a burst that sounded like thunder.
“Crack!”
Almost instantly.
This crushing blow directly broke Black Shark’s extended palm.
Without the slightest pause, it bore down on Black Shark’s chest!
“Tear!”
The terrifying force exploded instantaneously like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami.
Black Shark didn’t even have time to let out a muffled groan before his upper body’s bones were shattered; his broken form was sent flying backward, slamming fiercely into the wall ahead.
In the blink of an eye, Pei Jinye had declared Black Shark’s death sentence with the force of thunder.
He could not afford to lower his guard.
Black Shark’s abilities were actually very strong; if given enough time, Pei Jinye would not only reveal his identity today but might also draw the disdain of the Old Gods Association.
That’s why he had to seize the initiative, striking first to ensure his opponent had no way out.
“Demon… Demon King…”
Black Shark’s windpipe was shattered; he could hardly speak.
The rapid passing of life filled him with terror.
What scared him even more was the Demon King’s strength.
It was beyond his imagination.
He didn’t understand… why that frail guy from just a few days ago had grown to such an extent today.
What he couldn’t comprehend was—
The image of the Demon King, gradually fading from his vision, reached out silently and grabbed his head.
“Enter dreams.”
At that moment, the world seemed to come to a standstill.
The next second.
Countless fragmented memories surged crazily into Pei Jinye’s mind.
“From today on, your code name is Black Shark, responsible for infiltration and assassination missions for the Old Gods Association…”
“Black Shark, don’t disappoint the Elder’s expectations!”
“Da Peng City outpost has been ousted, Black Shark, you have disappointed me greatly!”
“What about the Demon King?”
“The Demon King is dead…”
“Impossible!”
“Elder, who exactly is the Demon King, and why must you protect him?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t! If you err again, it won’t be as simple as refining your heart!”
“Anyone who betrays the Old Gods Association must die!”
A drizzling autumn rain began to fall.
Not long after,
the Night Patrol Department’s police car appeared at this residential building.
“Calling headquarters, an extraordinary beings’ battle scene has been discovered… No casualties on scene, homeowner information has been reported to headquarters… Suspected gang altercation…”
In the wind and rain,
a solitary figure quietly moved away.
After swallowing a Blood Spirit Fruit, his vitality surged.
Several new lines abruptly appeared on the attribute panel.
[New Extraordinary-Human Gene: Space·Barrier]
[Adding Extraordinary Ability: Three Dimensional Barrier] (Blocks, compresses damage within a certain area)
[New Techniques: Close Combat (Beginner 50%), Firearms (Beginner 50%), Disguise Technique (Beginner 50%), Eagle Claw (Beginner 20%), Space Folding Technique (Beginner 0.01%)],
“This guy’s abilities are actually better than I imagined,” Pei Jinye thought, his mood lifting as he glanced over his Vitality.
[15.3-15.5]
Although it had dropped a bit.
But after downing a host of expensive supplements, all three figures were rapidly rising.
Indeed, throwing money at the problem is the way of the king!
At the Jiang ancestral home.
“Dad, lately there’s been some grumbling from the main house, saying that Su Hu has been too active and allowed his subordinates to spoil many of their deals,” a middle-aged man spoke cautiously.
Jiang Qingcang sat calmly on the sofa, leisurely flipping through the Da Peng City daily newspaper.
Because he disliked electronic readers, this business tycoon started a newspaper just for his own perusal.
“What’s Su Hu been busy with lately?” Jiang Qingcang asked without looking up.
“I heard his logistics company is expanding. Also, I’ve heard a rumor,” the middle-aged man glanced nervously at his father.
Jiang Qingcang didn’t rush to press further but slowly lifted his head to look over, “You are Su Hu’s uncle; his father passed away early. It’s only right you support him as an elder. Whether the rumors are true or not, you could just ask him directly, no need to bother me with it.”
“Dad, if it was a trivial matter, I’d let it be, but the thing is,” the middle-aged man said urgently, “there’s a rumor that Su Hu is secretly dabbling in biochemical experiments. You must be aware of what such experiments imply? They are expressly forbidden by our superiors.”
“Snap!”
Jiang Qingcang slapped the newspaper onto the expensive table with force.
The middle-aged man quickly bowed his head, daring not to speak further.
Jiang Qingcang looked over silently.
Without saying a word.
The middle-aged man seemed to realize something and hastily defended himself, “Dad, after all, I am his uncle. I wouldn’t bully the younger to frame him without cause.”
Jiang Qingcang dropped his gaze, “I am aware of the matter. Anything else?”
Seeing his father’s reaction, the middle-aged man stood up respectfully, “It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb you any longer.”
He bowed his head and then took his leave.
It was then that the middle-aged butler stepped into the room.
Jiang Qingcang sat back in his chair, eyes closed in rest, and after a moment’s thought, he spoke calmly, “Send Xin Cheng to check on what my fine grandson has been up to lately and how many are in the know.”
“Yes.”
The middle-aged butler bowed and withdrew.
A moment of tranquility fell upon the room.
Jiang Qingcang picked up the ancient book from the table again, the censer next to him emitting thin wisp of sandalwood smoke that rose and straightened into a long line in mid-air.
Suddenly, the room’s lights flickered off.
In that instant of darkness,
the straight line of sandalwood smoke snapped in the middle.
The fleeting interplay of light and shadow seemed to cast a chilling, ruthless silhouette.
The once frail-looking Jiang Qingcang’s eyes suddenly bulged wide open.
