Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 465 He actually came to the police station!
The riders from the police station rushed over like a surging tide, carrying cold murderous intent.

Any warrior who reacted a little slower would be killed by their fierce attack.

The sharp blade cut through the skin, blood splattered everywhere, screams rang out one after another, and in a blink of an eye, the streets were dyed red with blood, like purgatory.

At this time, Xi Rong was still on the street.

He had just relied on his powerful inner strength to fend off the dense rain of arrows like a swarm of locusts, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw several foreign soldiers riding horses and holding swords, rushing towards him like lightning.

The dust raised by the horses' hooves appeared particularly hazy in the moonlight, and the long swords in the hands of the barbarians flashed with a cold light.

Upon seeing this, Xi Rong immediately shouted at the top of his voice:

"I am General Xi Rong of the Imperial Guards!"

At this extremely urgent moment, Xi Rong could no longer care about hiding his identity.

Faced with these ruthless detectives from the police station, if he didn't reveal his identity in time, he would inevitably have a fierce conflict with them if he was not careful, and this was definitely not what he wanted at the moment.

Even the Imperial Guards were unwilling to easily provoke the secret agency, the Investigation Bureau.

When the guards heard this, they suddenly tightened the reins in their hands, raised their horses' front hooves high, and neighed.

They were slightly stunned, looked at each other, and then immediately turned their horses' heads and galloped towards the rear, obviously to report the situation.

Soon, a rider, surrounded by a group of barbarians, came slowly towards them riding a tall horse.

The horse was agile and strong, and each step it took was steady and powerful. It stepped over the corpses of warriors one after another. Its originally snow-white hooves were even soaked with blood and stained red, leaving bright red marks on the ground.

The rider was wearing a light blue official uniform embroidered with delicate dark patterns, which were faintly visible in the moonlight, highlighting his extraordinary status.

The bronze beast mask covered the lower half of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes on the upper half. Those eyes were full of ferocity, like cold stars, emitting an icy chill.

The hair under the black gauze hat was slightly gray, which added a bit of vicissitudes and majesty to him.

When Xi Rong saw the man, he was startled. He quickly straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully:
"General Xi Rong of the Southern Forbidden Army Camp greets Second-in-Command Master Jin!"

Xi Rong naturally knew this man.

He is Jin Jinliang, the second among the four bosses of the Criminal Investigation Bureau!

The four big bosses hold high positions of power in the investigation factory and are the core and capable men under the factory owner. In the court, who among the civil and military officials dares not know them?
Jin Jinliang was also a third-rank warrior who had made great contributions to the Criminal Investigation Bureau. His reputation was feared in both the martial arts world and the court.

The eyes on Jin Jinliang's bronze beast mask looked like a powerful figure looking down upon an ant. He glanced at Xi Rong with disdain, then snorted coldly and asked in a deep voice:

"What will the Imperial Guards battalion do here in the future?"

"Don't delay the investigation department's work. Get out of here."

His voice was low and cold, with unquestionable majesty.

Xi Rong hurriedly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and explained:

"Reporting to Lord Jin, Lord Zhou Quan, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, was just killed here, and his body is in the hall of Zhenliuxuan."

"And the murderer is that man!"

As he spoke, Xi Rong immediately pointed his finger at Liang Jin on the roof in the distance.

"Master Jin, please send someone to assist me and bring the murderer to justice!"

There was a fierce gleam in Xi Rong's eyes, like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.

It is obvious that he intends to use the powerful force of the investigation agency to deal with Liang Jin in order to relieve his hatred and get rid of his current predicament.

But who knows.

Xi Rong raised his finger and pointed for a long time, but Jin Jinliang didn't even raise his eyelids and was too lazy to even look at him.

Not only Jin Jinliang, but the surrounding Dongchang men were the same. They all held their heads high, were arrogant and domineering, as if they looked down upon nothing in the world.

Jin Jinliang sneered:

"The death of a small Shuntian prefect is really necessary for our investigation agency to personally investigate?"

"Go find the Six Gates and the Ministry of Justice, don't waste our time."

As he spoke, Jin Jinliang suddenly whipped the horsewhip, which drew a sharp arc in the air, making a crisp "snap" sound, and the strong wind made Xi Rong's clothes rustle.

Xi Rong had to retreat sideways.

Then Jin Jinliang shook the reins, and the horse under his crotch neighed loudly, carrying him to Zhenliuxuan, followed by a group of ferocious barbarians like wolves and tigers.

Xi Rong was stunned, his face turning pale and red. He obviously didn't expect that these foreigners, who were also members of the imperial court, could be so cold and heartless.

Even though the murderer of Shuntian Prefecture was right before their eyes, they were too lazy to do anything.

Just when Xi Rong was about to continue speaking.

suddenly!

The situation on the roof of Zhenliuxuan suddenly changed drastically.

The sudden appearance of the detectives from the police station and their powerful deterrent force caused many warriors to panic and flee and hide.

The warriors who had surrounded the seven formation war puppets scattered in an instant, leaving the formation war puppets without any enemies around them.

next moment.

The seven battle puppets in the formation seemed to have telepathic connection. Holding the bronze box, they jumped down behind Zhen Liuxuan without hesitation.

"Crash!"

A huge sound of water was heard, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.

The seven battle puppets in the formation actually jumped into the lake, splashing a lot of water. The lake water sparkled with silver waves under the moonlight.

As the battle puppet of the formation entered the water, the red light brought by the desperate sword intent and the feeling of despair in everyone's hearts also disappeared in an instant.

This scene made Jin Jinliang's eyes widen suddenly, and he shouted angrily:

"Want to run? Bring them back to me!"

"Be sure to seize that bronze box and present it to the factory owner!"

His voice was filled with anger and urgency, as if the bronze box was extremely important.

When the surrounding soldiers heard the order, they immediately rushed towards the lake behind Zhenliuxuan like sharks smelling blood.

Just as Jin Jinliang was about to continue issuing orders, he seemed to sense something unexpected happening, and his originally ferocious expression suddenly changed:
"not good!"

Then he slapped the horse under his crotch suddenly. The horse felt pain and jumped up with its front hooves high.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Jin Jinliang flew up like an eagle, flying towards the lake behind the bamboo building at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, this group of foreigners no longer cared about Xi Rong, nor about the dead Shuntian Prefecture Governor, nor about chasing after the fleeing warriors. They all ran towards the lake behind the bamboo building.

Obviously, the mysterious treasure is the ultimate goal of their trip.

For it, they can do anything.

Xi Rong's area suddenly became empty, with no one around.

On the contrary, the warriors who had been hiding in Zhenliuxuan took the opportunity to escape when they saw the bandits leaving.

They looked panicked, their steps hurried, and they cursed under their breath as they ran:
"While those bandits are chasing those seven swordsmen, run!"

"Damn it! Next time you see a bandit, you must stay away from him. These beasts are completely inhumane!"

"Stop cursing! Be careful of attracting trouble. The capital is full of detective spies!"

……

The warriors hurriedly ran past Xi Rong, raising a breeze and fleeing into the distance.

Now that the detective agency has intervened, they know that they have no chance of winning the treasure today.

Now, they only hope to save their lives and stay away from this dangerous place.

But who knows.

These warriors fled along the street for a short distance before running back in panic.

Their faces were filled with fear, as if they had encountered something terrifying nearby.

"Damn it! Why are people from the Six Gates here too?"

"These bastards have blocked all the nearby roads and are arresting everyone they see. Do they want to kill us?"

"This group of court lackeys is truly disgusting!"

"Everyone, find another way out and escape as soon as possible! I have a feeling something big is going to happen in this place!"

……

The warriors ran around like headless flies, looking for a way to escape.

Their figures appeared flustered and disheveled in the moonlight, and the scene became chaotic again, with noises and curses mixed together, making it extremely noisy.

When Xi Rong heard that the Six Gates were coming, a glimmer of light flashed in his originally dim eyes, and he felt very excited.

He thought that perhaps the Six Gates could help him catch the murderer and solve his current dilemma.

But when he turned his head, he was greatly disappointed.

This time, the people from the Six Gates were very low-key. They blocked the area at the end of the street in the distance and did not dare to get close to the scene.

Their figures, dressed in black Flying Eagle uniforms, were dim in the moonlight, revealing a sense of caution.

It was as if... they were deliberately avoiding the edge of the detective agency, for fear of angering these ferocious gangs.

This situation made Xi Rong shake his head.

He sighed in his heart, and of course he understood that before the people from the Investigation Bureau evacuated, the Six Gates would not easily intrude into this area, even if it was for the murder case of the Shuntian Prefecture Governor.

In the same area, only one group of people can be in charge at the same time.

Now, the Investigation Bureau is in charge here!
Until the people from the Investigation Bureau have finished their work, the Six Gates will never interfere in the affairs here.

This is about power and authority!

In this complex situation in officialdom and underworld, all forces are well aware of this and dare not easily cross the line.

Without the help of the Investigation Bureau and the Six Gates, Xi Rong can only deal with Liang Jin alone.

He raised his head and looked at Liang Jin with sharp eyes.

Liang Jin was still wearing that strange mask, sitting quietly on the roof, like a statue.

He looked at the direction where the detectives left, and seemed to be completely oblivious to Xi Rong's existence, as if Xi Rong was never worthy of his attention and was not taken seriously by him at all.

"Where does he get his confidence from?" Xi Rong couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, and this anger was like a blazing fire, burning more and more vigorously.

He was a general, commanding thousands of troops and had a very high prestige in the army; while Liang Jin was just a small soldier with a humble status.

In Xi Rong's opinion, generals have a natural dominance over their soldiers, and soldiers should be trembling with fear in front of them.

But now Liang Jin is so indifferent, which makes Xi Rong unbearable.

But the next moment, Xi Rong couldn't help but have an idea in his mind:
"What if... I turn around and leave now?"

Xi Rong immediately felt ashamed of his thought.

He was a general, but when facing a small soldier, he actually retreated?

and……

Since Liang Jin is so confident, it may not be easy for Xi Rong to leave now.

There is a high probability that those elusive men in black robes will come like ghosts to stop us.

And Xi Rong's reason also told him that he couldn't leave!

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture is already dead. If he cannot bring the murderer to justice today, it will be difficult for him to give a reasonable explanation to the court!

What's more, Xi Rong himself hated Liang Jin to the core and wanted to tear him into pieces. How could he just walk away?

Immediately, Xi Rong took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and continued walking towards Liang Jin.

His steps were steady and powerful, and every step was firm, as if declaring his determination to Liang Jin.

Soon, he arrived at the bottom of Shuyu Tower.

Xi Rong bent his knees slightly, exerted force with his legs, and moved his body.

With his superb lightness skills, he flew onto the roof like an arrow and landed steadily next to Liang Jin.

"Liang Jin, what the hell are you doing?"

Xi Rong glared at Liang Jin with red eyes and shouted in a deep voice, his voice full of anger and questioning.

"You even dared to touch the Shuntian Prefecture Governor. Just because you are a small flag commander, ten lives are not enough to be beheaded!"

His full strength was already running at a rapid pace, and the internal force in his body was like a surging river, rushing through his meridians, ready to unleash a fatal blow at any time.

The view from the roof is wide, and the bright moonlight shines down, covering the surroundings like a silver gauze, allowing you to see the surrounding situation clearly.

It was also very quiet here, with only the sound of the wind whistling past my ears, as if the fighting on the ground was completely isolated from here, forming two completely different worlds.

Liang Jin still sat quietly, as if he was completely defenseless against Xi Rong's arrival.

He slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing his calm face. He turned his head and looked at Xi Rong. His eyes were like a bottomless lake, unpredictable.

Then he put on the mask again and continued to look into the distance, as if there was something more attractive in the distance.

"Would you like to see a play before you die?"

Liang Jin suddenly asked, his voice calm yet with a hint of mystery, which seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet night.

Xi Rong frowned, his heart filled with doubts:
"What do you mean?"

He knew very well that he and Liang Jin were sworn enemies.

Tonight, only one of them is destined to leave alive.

But at this time, Liang Jin said he wanted to watch a play, which made Xi Rong puzzled. The doubts in his heart were like a tangled thread, getting tighter and tighter.

Liang Jin said to himself:
"Well, the show is about to begin."

At this moment, Xi Rong felt a surge of anger rising into his head.

He felt ignored, completely ignored!
The two were already on the brink of life and death, and were about to fight, but Liang Jin didn't even bother to look at himself, as if he posed no threat to him at all.

If Liang Jin was a top master, then Xi Rong might be able to accept being ignored.

Unfortunately, Liang Jin's martial arts skills were poor, he was only of the sixth rank, and his status was humble, he was just a flag chief.

Is such a person worthy of ignoring Xi Rong?
This is simply a humiliation to him and a trampling on his dignity as a general!
Xi Rong clenched his fists, his joints turning white from the force. He took a step forward, ready to punch Liang Jin in the head to vent his hatred.

The muscles in his arms were tense, ready to strike, and the air seemed to be filled with a strong murderous intent.

Liang Jin still looked straight ahead, like a towering mountain, standing still, as if he really didn't bother to even look at Xi Rong even if he approached.

This made Xi Rong even angrier, and he was about to punch out!
But at this moment——

A burst of noise was heard nearby, and it seemed that this was the place where the good show Liang Jin mentioned was about to begin.

Xi Rong hesitated slightly.

But in the end, he remained on guard, turning his head slightly to glance out of the corner of his eye.

At this glance, he had a clear view of the situation.

I saw people from the investigation agency searching and salvaging in the lake behind Zhenliuxuan. Their figures were looming in the lake, and they were holding various tools in their hands, as if they wanted to find something in the lake.

The second-in-command, Jin Jinliang, stood in the lake with a gloomy face, his feet firmly on the water, as if he could stay standing like a dragonfly skimming the water.

His face was ashen, like the sky before a storm. He kept scolding his men, his voice echoing on the lake, filled with endless anger and anxiety.

The lake behind Zhenliuxuan is just a small artificial lake, which creates an elegant environment by drawing water from Taiye Lake.

Logically speaking, with so many people searching in the investigation office, given their abilities, it is impossible that they would not find anything in the lake.

"They're searching for...treasure?"

At this moment, Xi Rong thought of the six swordsmen who got the treasure, who seemed to have jumped into the lake to evacuate.

Could it be that the six people’s ability to escape was so strong that they could escape the pursuit of so many people from the police station?

Even... able to escape right under the nose of the second-in-command Jin Jinliang?

The perception of a third-grade warrior is extremely terrifying. The martial arts of those six swordsmen are far inferior to those of a third-grade warrior, but they actually managed to escape with the treasure so easily?

At this moment, Xi Rong suddenly thought of those men in black robes, who also came and went without a trace and were mysterious and unpredictable.

Could it be that... those six swordsmen are also related to Liang Jin?

However, Xi Rong also knew that this guess had no basis and was just his intuition.

What's more, this has nothing to do with what he is going to do at this moment.

Xi Rong immediately sneered at Liang Jin:
"What kind of show is this?"

"It's just six small fry who escaped. Do you think this will affect the investigation?"

"It's ridiculous!"

His laughter was full of sarcasm, as if he was mocking Liang Jin's naivety and ignorance.

Xi Rong said this, deciding to stop talking nonsense and continue to kill Liang Jin.

At this time, Liang Jin said calmly:
"The ridiculous person is you."

"I'm not talking about those guys."

"But that person."

Xi Rong frowned upon hearing this, and his doubts grew even more intense.

He didn't want to say another word to Liang Jin, but Liang Jin just sat there quietly, with no intention of resisting or escaping, as if everything was under his control.

This made Xi Rong unable to suppress his curiosity. He couldn't help but follow Liang Jin's line of sight and take a quick glance out of the corner of his eye.

But this glance made his pupils shrink suddenly:
"Who is that?!"

"He's actually a... third-rank warrior!"

"What on earth does he want to do here at this time?"

It’s no wonder that Xi Rong was shocked, because the person who appeared at this time was too strange!

He was tall and gloomy, with an iron skull covered with a red copper face armor, scorpion-like iron spikes protruding from his cheeks, and blood marrow crystals embedded in his eyes, which emitted a dark red glow at night.

Three rows of bronze pipes stood on the back of his neck, spewing out hot steam from time to time.

His burly body was covered in battle-scarred armor, dark golden gears were exposed on the joints of his arms, curved arm blades popped out of his elbows, and his spine was an external bronze dragon bone filled with boiling volcanic magma to drive the energy.

In one hand he held a six-foot-seven-inch heavy sword, the blade of which was as thick as a stone tablet, without a sharp edge or blade, and was completely black. The sword guard was a roaring tiger's head, and a blood chalcedony was held in the tiger's mouth.

The other hand held a bone-eroded wheel, a four-foot black iron wheel with thirty-six sharp teeth of corpse dogs embedded on the edge, which was intimidating.

Such a person doesn't look like a normal person at all. He looks more like a... puppet carefully created by mechanical technology!

The puppet exuded a mysterious and strange aura, as if it did not belong to this world, which was chilling.

At this moment, this man was walking slowly along the street. His steps were firm and slow, and every step he took was like a heavy hammer hitting the ground, making a dull sound.

The dust on the street was raised by his footsteps and spread in the moonlight, and his progress in the dust added a bit of mystery to the atmosphere.

No one knew when he suddenly appeared at the scene, as if he had emerged from thin air.

But the moment he appeared, he was like a bright star across the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention and becoming the focus of the audience.

His existence seemed to have an invisible magic that made everything around him pale in comparison.

In particular, the violent momentum and cold murderous intent were released without reservation, like a surging tide, instantly enveloping the entire artificial lake.

The air was filled with a strong sense of solemnity, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Under the pressure of this momentum, the trees by the lake trembled and made rustling sounds, as if they were shaking for the coming storm.

Obviously, he was not afraid of becoming an enemy of the Criminal Investigation Bureau. From his undisguised aura and murderous intent, it could be seen that there was no fear in his eyes.

Even... judging from his various behaviors, he is most likely coming for the Criminal Investigation Bureau!

Xi Rong found it hard to understand.

If it were in the local area, there would indeed be some lawless warriors who dared to go against the law enforcement agency.

But this is the capital!

It is the headquarters of the investigation agency!

This strange man is so bold that he openly challenged the police station in the capital!
But do you really have this ability?
at this time.

The red eyeball painted on the forehead of Liang Jin's mask seemed to have suddenly come alive and was even twitching slightly.

He also stood up, facing the night wind, and his tone finally had a hint of anticipation:
"The show is finally starting!"
