I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 36 Anger
  boom!
  The red flame jumped eight feet high, and the red wave covered the fire. Ying Tinder finally no longer needed to suppress it, and the violent power ravaged the entire village.

But this round of rampage was met with a lot of frightened screams, and the villagers fled in all directions.

"Help! Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"Ooooh, mommy, I want mommy!"

Ying Huorong's helpless cry made Ying Huorong pause in his attack and turned to look at Cao An. These people didn't look like enemies!

"They mingled with the villagers." Cao An's eyes were filled with resentment.

No wonder he just turned around in a big circle and couldn't see any flaws.

Life, old age, illness and death, men farming and women weaving, this seemingly harmonious and friendly village probably exists in itself.

It's just that this group of outsiders successfully integrated into the village by relying on their skills and money.

They hide among the people and practice weapons such as pokers and iron staffs. It is impossible to judge whether they are warriors through ordinary hand callus examination.

He did good things with the villagers during the day and secretly did bad things at night. At this moment, Cao An discovered the problem and used the villagers to block the knife without hesitation, forcing Ying Huorong not to dare to kill him.

Cao An made a quick decision and shouted: "Everyone, please find a nearby house to take shelter. Anyone who is still on the street after three breaths will be regarded as a traitor and will be killed without mercy!"

When it is cut off, it is cut off. Cao An's words undoubtedly gave Ying Huorong reassurance that she was not a kind woman and she would bring these gangsters to justice no matter what today.

And Cao An's countdown warning also gave the innocent people a chance to survive. It was impossible for the real gangsters to hide in the room and wait to die.

"Run away!" the village chief shouted, and a team of nearly fifty people suddenly rushed out of the villagers and fled in all directions.

Ying Huorong also reacted quickly and launched an aggressive attack. He was as strong as a fox and walked on fire in the air. He cooperated with Mr. Ma who was on sentry duty and began to encircle and suppress this group of gangsters.

The village chief, who was trembling just now, knew that the matter could no longer be concealed. He felt cruel, picked up his iron crutch, and stabbed Cao An fiercely.

Cao An was also unhurried. He held the flower-selling boy with his left hand, tapped his right foot lightly on the ground, and floated backwards at a very fast speed. He was only a few feet away, and he relied on his powerful Qinggong to prevent the enemy from advancing even an inch.

After three breaths, the village chief's stamina was exhausted. Cao An raised his knife to block the attack, deflecting the village chief's crutch and completely out of danger.

But even so, a tremor still came from the blade, making Cao An's jaw numb.

Can't you even block the enemy's exhausted sword? Sure enough, my strength is still too low. After handling this case, I need to practice hard.

Fortunately, after this delay, Ying Huorong's support also arrived. A fierce fire claw struck the village chief's body, and with a 'bang', his body was like a cannonball, slamming into a house.

This combat power is really terrifying. With her around, the enemies around her may not even be able to get up close.

But what about the enemies who are fleeing? Do you want to watch them escape?
  "kill!!!"

When Cao An was in trouble, shouts of killing came from behind. Zhu Xian lived up to expectations and led the students from Nanshan Academy to come for reinforcements at the critical moment.

"Surround this village and don't let anyone go."

This is the first time for the students of the martial arts academy to go to the battlefield. Although they are a little unfamiliar and nervous, the support of so many companions around them also gives them great courage. If ten of them fight one, there will be no problem.

Cao An's face showed joy, he had seen the dawn of annihilating the enemy.

But just at the moment of victory, something unexpected happened.

The boy who had been protected by Cao An suddenly let out a painful groan. Cao An quickly looked back, only to find that the boy was already bleeding from seven holes and fell to the ground softly, clutching his heart.

"What's going on? Zhu Xian, come here and take a look." Upon hearing the greeting, Zhu Xian quickly activated Mu Shu Guanghua in an attempt to treat the boy, but it was in vain.

"It seems to be the mother-in-law Gu. Someone detonated the Gu in his body. It's hard for gods to save him." Zhu Xian shook his head regretfully, unable to do anything.

Cao An was heartbroken and pointed to a collapsed house and said, "Go there and have a look. The leading village chief is inside. He may have the antidote."

After everyone heard this, they hurriedly ran over to search for it. Unfortunately, this last hope also disappeared with the appearance of the village chief's body.

"He should have known that there was no hope of escape and committed suicide by taking poison. These are by no means ordinary gangsters, but dead soldiers. Who are they?"

In response to Zhu Xian's inquiry, Cao An could only shake his head feebly.

The boy in his arms is probably the only insider. He wants to get rid of the other party's control and risk his life to deliver the message to him.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do to save it in the end. The boy's eyes were wide open and his mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to tell Cao An something.

But the mother-child Gu was so powerful that it still took away the boy's life in an instant. He couldn't even say his last words, and he fell limply in Cao An's arms.

"Those bastards! They don't even spare children!"

"Find a way to catch them alive, we can't let them die so easily!"

The boy's death once again aroused everyone's anger, and they chased him for thousands of miles. I am afraid that none of the enemies here can even think of escaping.

Ying Huorong came over with a depressed expression, placed the flowers that the boy had sold before his death on his body, and asked in a low voice: "Cao An, can you hear his last wish?"

"I...should be able to."

Before the boy died, he failed to say his last words, but the obsession in his heart still triggered the skill "Please close your eyes after dark".

Closing his eyes, the world turned gray-white, leaving only a hazy and thin figure, which walked firmly into the house.

There are many children's toys in the simple room, but they all look new. It's not that the boy doesn't like to play, but that he has a more important mission.

Cao An opened his eyes and looked at the neat wooden bed in the corner, where the obsession lasted.

"He hid something under the bed and turned the bed over."

Having seen Cao An's magic, everyone started moving things without saying a word.

There is nothing underneath the wooden bed, so turn over the floor tiles and check them one by one. You can always find clues.

"If that boy was coerced by these bad guys, then I'm afraid this will be his last message." Ying Huorong picked up a floor tile, patted the dust on it, and handed it to Cao An.

Perhaps out of fear of being discovered, or perhaps out of an emergency, there was only one sentence crookedly engraved on the back of the floor tile: "Save my partner."

With one sentence, the anger of the onlookers was all ignited.

Hiding under the bed and asking for help, you can imagine how dangerous this child's situation is. Maybe he also knows in his heart that asking for help will definitely lead to death.

But he still mustered up the courage to convey the news to Cao An, in order to rescue more of his partners.

What would a seven or eight-year-old boy call his 'partner'?
  Those were naturally children of the same age as him, which meant that more children had been kidnapped.

Behind this tragedy, there may be an even bigger net, shrouding Shangjiang City like a haze.
