Time unknowingly passed and it was already two in the morning. Even though the Three Realms Vehicle did not need to refuel, it still had an unending stream of motivation, but Chen Yao was still alive.
Chen Yao got out of the car and lit up a cigarette. He kept looking around in hopes of finding some clues. However, he didn't find a single shadow.
In the entire city, other than the traffic lights which flickered with a faint light like the eyes of a wild beast, the entire world was pitch-black. Because the Jiangbei City had lost seventeen girls in a row, the people were all talking about demons eating humans.
After finishing his cigarette, Chen Yao felt somewhat sleepy on the desolate street. Thus, he returned to his car, lowered the back of his car and fell asleep.
Just as Chen Yao was about to fall asleep, a loud noise suddenly came from the silent street.
"Bam."
A gunshot sounded out, breaking the silence of the night. At the same time, the lights of over a thousand houses in three or four residential districts lit up simultaneously.
Because of the recent incident of the Serial disappearance of the girl child, the entire population of Jiangbei City was in a state of panic, which could be described as having a sleepless night. So after the gunshot, in less than three breaths' time, almost all the lights in the nearby residential buildings were turned on.
"Something wrong?"
Chen Yao possessed the Ear of the Zephyr, so he could clearly hear the sound of falling needles over a thousand meters away, let alone hear the sound of gunshots less than five hundred meters away from him.
"In the Beiyuan district?"
Chen Yao opened the door of the car. Using his microstep to its utmost limit, he charged into the Beiyuan district like a ghost.
"My child, my child."
The moment he rushed into Beiyuan district, Chen Yao saw the window on the balcony on the ninth floor of Residential Building # 3. The burglar proof window had already been twisted into a ball, and a woman wearing a nightgown seemed to be wailing in pain as she tried to jump off the balcony.
Chen Yao's heart sank. Had another child been lost tonight?
Right below that house, four figures fell into a pool of blood. Chen Yao landed on the ground with a leap. The scene before his eyes could be said to be extremely shocking.
The bodies of these four people had already shriveled up, becoming skin and bones. It was as if their throats had been bitten by some kind of wild beast.
"It actually absorbed all the blood and Profound Qi of these four people."
Chen Yao's expression turned cold. Sure enough, the culprit who stole the girl was not an ordinary person. It was either a monster or an evil Cultivation.
One of them was holding a handgun in his hand. Chen Yao gently touched the handgun and found that it was still warm from the gunshot just now. It should have been caused by this policeman's gunshot.
Earlier, when Chen Yao browsed through the news related to Jiangbei City's Serial disappearance of the girl child, he had already found out that the relevant departments of the Jiangbei City had used all the armed forces of the Jiangbei City to install security forces in the residential buildings in the various districts in order to maintain the public's mood, protect the safety of the people, and search for the murderer. Not to mention the armed police, public security, even the traffic police and fire brigades had also arrived.
However, the authorities did not expect that the criminals they were facing were not ordinary traffickers. Instead, they were people who were like demons, ghosts, snakes and gods.
The four policemen in front of him must have ran into the culprit who stole the girl, so the culprit killed them to silence them.
"Hmm?"
Chen Yao suddenly noticed a black shadow standing in the wind on the roof of a neighboring residential building. The shadow was staring right at him.
In the arms of the man in black was a young girl with a ponytail.
"It's you?"
Chen Dazhi's eyes almost spewed out fire of anger.
Swoosh.
Exerting the microstep to its peak, Chen Yao leaped high into the air and landed on the balcony of the third floor of the residential building beside him.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh.
Chen Yao hadn't managed to cultivate his Qi Refinement Stage yet, so he was flying away from the ground. However, with the help of the microstep, he could jump as high as ten meters with a leap.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yao, with the help of jumping nonstop, leapt up to the twentieth floor. He was no more than a hundred meters away from that black shadow.
A look of surprise flashed clearly in the black shadow's eyes.
He hadn't expected that Chen Yao would discover his presence in the boundless night sky. Moreover, in the blink of an eye, he had borrowed the momentum of his leap to fly up to the 20th floor.
While the man in black was still in shock, Chen Yao had already landed on the roof of the third residential apartment. Clenching his fists tightly, he stared at the man in black, flames nearly shooting out of his eyes.
"Fuck, did you steal all the children?"
The two of them were standing on top of a building, separated by dozens of meters.
The black-clothed man examined Chen Yao for a moment before using a hoarse voice to speak.
With your body's strength, it hasn't even been a minute since you jumped thirty floors, and you still can't breathe? I assume you already have cultivated a martial artist's inner strength, and you seem to be just over twenty years old, to be able to cultivate such an incredible inner strength at such a young age, looking at your qinggong pace, when that time comes, the secret microstep of the Dali royal family will be somewhat similar, could it be that you are a member of the Dali Duan Clan?
Chen Yao was slightly surprised that the other party could see through his qinggong at a glance. It seemed like he had some background and he knew that he had successfully cultivated inner strength, so he was not afraid at all. Seems like the other party was at least a Tactics Master, or even a Core Formation Cultivator.
However, even if the black-clothed man managed to cultivate Spirit Stage, as for the Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Heavenly Immortal, Chen Yao, he would still risk his life to save the child in his hands.
Chen Yao's tone was extremely cold.
"I'm the one who wants your life."
At the same time Chen Yao opened his mouth, the Mind Sword suddenly appeared and thrusted towards the black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man appeared to have been on guard against Chen Yao since long ago. Thus, the moment Chen Yao made his move, he also acted. Holding the child in one hand, he made a gesture with his other hand and then pushed forward.
Instantly, a scarlet layer of light appeared around his body.
The Mind Sword's harvest from stabbing into the scarlet light curtain was actually being tightly attracted. Although Chen Yao's mind could still connect with the Mind Sword, the Mind Sword seemed to have sunk into a quagmire and was unable to be activated.
Without the aid of a rune, he could cast spells with ease. Chen Yao instantly understood that this black-clothed man in front of him was at least as powerful as Tactics Master.
Furthermore, with the opponent's Spirit Power being so long, he could actually trap the Mind Sword. It was extremely likely that he had already reached the half-step Core Formation stage.
This person was not simple. He could not be held back.
Thinking of this, Chen Yao directly summoned his Eight Trigrams Golden Light Mirror.
"Break."
The golden light mirror was a Spirit Weapon, even if it was activated by an ordinary person, it would still be able to fight against the Tactics Master, and Chen Yao's strength was even more extraordinary. After cultivating his Spirit Body, even if Chen Yao did not cultivate any techniques, the Spirit Qi in his body would not lose to any Tactics Master, it was just a pity that he did not train in any techniques yet.
But it could be used on Eight Trigrams Golden Light Mirror s.
When the Eight Trigrams Golden Light Mirror appeared, the entire Beiyuan district would be illuminated as bright as day.
"Quick, look."
At this moment, hundreds of police officers and armed police soldiers were gathered in the Beiyuan district. When the lights lit up on the top floor, they immediately noticed the abnormality on the roof.
The black-clothed man and Chen Yao who were standing on the rooftop also fell into the crowd's line of sight.
"The killer is on the roof. Call the helicopter at the headquarters to support him. Special forces are preparing to attack. Snipers are in position."
As orders were given, the police quickly rushed up to the top floor. Helicopters were also buzzing in the distance. They were probably heading towards the North Garden District at full speed.
A great battle was about to begin.
