The deputy mayor sat in his office and said with a frown, “Dispatch Si Xiangming over immediately. We can’t let the situation worsen!”

On one of the screens in the office, the situation was being broadcasted from an angle. The dozen or so fleeing cultivators on the street were moving at high speed.

The police cars behind could not keep up with those people. Only the helicopters in the sky could follow closely.

“Si Xiangming has already gone over, and that person has also rushed over. I believe we would be able to arrest this group of people soon,” the counselor standing at the side said after receiving the news.

Hearing this, the deputy mayor’s tense face relaxed a little.

“Can you confirm that these people are the real culprits who destroyed the two chemical factories?”

The counselor nodded and said, “After the past two days of questioning, we can’t be wrong that it’s them. As for where they came from, what their identities are, and why they did this, we don’t know yet.”

“No matter what their motives are, we have to find out which faction they represent this time!” the deputy mayor said solemnly.

…

After turning two streets, Qin Ming was about to return to the school district where he lived. This time, for the sake of convenience, he chose to purchase a new phone from a shop nearby. He didn’t expect to encounter such a situation.

From time to time, there would be loud noises in the distance. This time, the cultivators’ intrusion was not far from his school and residence.

This made him think of the possibility mentioned in the class group chat last night. Something might really happen to the school…

To be honest, he did not care much about the safety of the school. He was more concerned about his own safety.

I’ll hurry back to the apartment. He could already see the buildings in the school district in the distance.

However, at this moment, two figures suddenly descended from the sky and landed not far from him, giving him a fright.

To be precise, the two of them suddenly jumped down from the rooftop that was more than ten meters high. After landing, they were unscathed. It was as easy as going down a step.

To be able to do this, they were clearly not ordinary people.

He thought that he was unlucky to have encountered that group of terrorists. Fortunately, when he looked closely, he realized that they were the Gu siblings.

He remembered that these two siblings were also cultivators. He didn’t expect to meet them here again.

“Qin Ming, it’s a little dangerous here. You should go back quickly. Don’t stay here for too long.” After Gu Tao came down, she urged Qin Ming to get away.

From their expressions, it was obvious that they had discovered Qin Ming when they were passing by, so they specially came down to sound the alert.

“Yes, I’m planning to go back.” As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, her brother had already jumped up. He stepped on the wall and lightly jumped onto the tall building on the other side.

They quickly rushed towards the source of the sound in the distance, looking a little anxious.

“Ah, Brother, wait for me!” Gu Tao saw that her brother had left without saying goodbye and immediately followed.

The siblings came and went in a hurry. It seemed like it was really just a coincidence that they met him halfway.

From the looks of it, they were most likely rushing towards the group of cultivators.

This made him even more curious about the identity of the siblings, especially that brother.

Previously, he had mentioned something about carrying out a mission. He wondered if it was related to this group of cultivators.

Of course, Qin Ming didn’t stop and continued walking towards his residence.

As for what would happen over there, he didn’t want to know at all, let alone follow them to take a look.

God knew how destructive a battle between a group of cultivators could be. It was definitely not something he could ward off.

After crossing the stone bridge, he was back in the school park. He could no longer hear the commotion in the distance and felt much more at ease.

However, just as he approached his residence, a figure suddenly flashed out of a small forest in the distance.

His speed was astonishing. In a few breaths, he approached Qin Ming.

This figure was wearing a long black trench coat. It was the person Qin Ming had encountered previously.

At the same time, there was another man who was also abnormally strong. He held a short dagger in his right hand and a black pistol in his left.

When Qin Ming saw this sudden situation, all the hairs on his body stood up and a chill ran down his spine. After all, he was just an ordinary high school student.

What was slightly special was that he had once possessed an ant spirit.

Bong!

The pistol spat fire. A large-caliber bullet shot out of the muzzle and pierced the air, about to hit the man in the vest in front of him.

If it were an ordinary person, he would not be able to dodge this bullet safely.

However, this man in the black trench coat was not an ordinary person. He turned around and dodged the bullet at the critical moment.

The street lamp beside him was hit by the bullet and exploded.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several bullets were fired again. This time, the man in the trench coat could not dodge and chose to turn around and swing his arm.

Several bullets hit his thick arm, but there was no bloody wound as expected.

On the contrary, it was as if it had hit a thick layer of metal, causing a small spark. Those bullets were directly blocked.

“Huh?” Si Xiangming, who was chasing him, let out a soft cry when he saw this situation. He seemed to be a little puzzled.

The trench coat man’s expression did not change. He stepped on the ground and tried to jump onto the balcony.

“Could he be a cyborg?” Si Xiangming muttered to himself softly. He also exerted strength under his feet and caught up to the man in the trench coat.

He kicked in the air and collided with the trench coat man’s iron arm.

Thud!

An extremely muffled sound could be heard even by Qin Ming, who was standing hundreds of meters away.

In terms of strength, although the trench coat man’s arms were very thick, he did not seem to be a match for this cultivator who was chasing after him. He was kicked onto the ground.

“Damn it!” After this confrontation, the trench coat man’s expression finally changed. He did not expect the guy chasing after him to be so strong.

“Lie down!” Si Xiangming was not prepared to let go of this suspect who he had been chasing for a long time. He fell from the sky, his blood and qi surging, and his feet landed with a gust of wind.

Boom!

A hole in the asphalt ground resulted from his fall. Although the man in the trench coat avoided being hit in the vital parts of his head, he was sent flying. His chest was slightly caved in, and he was seriously injured.

After coughing up two mouthfuls of blood, he removed his windbreaker with an ugly expression, revealing two strange arms.

There were several tiny blue metal tubes embedded in his arms. They were a glowing blue color.

Under this fluorescent light, the muscles on these two arms looked as firm as rocks. Thick veins could be seen clearly on them.

It was a strange pair of arms that had just proven to be able to block a round of bullets without being injured.

“You guys are indeed a group of transformers. I knew it. Your cultivation is clearly ordinary, but you have such a powerful physique. It doesn’t make sense,” Si Xiangming said as he stared at the two exposed arms.
