I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

"My God, what's the working principle behind this?"

On the river, the white-haired man's smile froze on his face.

He watched helplessly as his prized flame was easily taken away by the other party.

That feeling is like having your most beloved toy snatched away in front of you and then dismantled into pieces.

"Impossible! How could you possibly control my flames!" he cried out.

Ye An ignored him and slowly extended his right hand. A golden whip surrounded by pure Yang true essence had appeared in his hand without him even noticing.

He flicked his wrist.

"Snapped!"

A crisp crack of a whip.

The golden whip, carrying the newly absorbed flame energy that had been amplified several times by the pure Yang true essence, lashed out fiercely!

This time, what emerged from the tip of the whip was no longer a fiery serpent.

Instead, it was an even larger, more imposing, and lifelike fire dragon!

"roar--!"

The dragon's roar seemed to resound throughout the heavens.

"Are you kidding me!"

The golden fire dragon opened its massive maw, its aura capable of incinerating everything, and swallowed the completely stunned white-haired man whole.

There were no screams, and no struggles.

After the flames subsided, the river was empty.

The once arrogant leader of the "Destiny" organization was reduced to ashes.

The giant dragon roamed on the river, as if surveying its own territory.

Ye An stood still, closed his eyes, and felt the last bit of fire energy remaining in the air being absorbed by him.

He then opened his eyes, turned around, and walked back to the shore step by step, blending into the crowd and disappearing from sight.

It was as if nothing had happened.

After a brief moment of deathly silence, the tourists on the shore erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

"Amazing! That fireworks display was incredible!"

"That dragon! How was that dragon made? It looks just like the real thing!"

"I recorded it! It'll definitely be trending tomorrow!"

The little girl tugged at her mother's clothes, still wanting more, and asked, "Mommy, will we see more fireworks tomorrow? I haven't had enough!"

"This... Mom doesn't know either..."

……

Outside the hotel, the piercing sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached.

Several police cars screeched to a halt in front of the Tongxian Hotel. The doors opened, and a group of uniformed police officers rushed out and cordoned off the scene.

A middle-aged man in plain clothes, slightly overweight, got off the lead car, his face looking very unpleasant. His name was Liu Jianguo, the head of the city's criminal investigation team.

"Where is she? Where is Anya?" he grabbed a subordinate and asked urgently.

"Team Leader Liu, Anya is still upstairs, but the suspect has been apprehended!"

Liu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, but his anger only intensified.

He rushed into the hotel lobby, taking three steps at a time.

"That Anya is getting more and more reckless! She dares to take on three assassins at the Transformation Realm all by herself!" Liu Jianguo cursed inwardly as he went upstairs. "If anything happens to her, I really won't be able to explain it to the An family!"

In the corridor, Anya was directing several colleagues to verify the identities of the three assassins on the ground.

She was still standing there, her mind a bit of a mess.

"Anya!"

Liu Jianguo's loud voice pulled her back from her thoughts.

"Boss." Anya straightened up instinctively.

Liu Jianguo rushed to her, looked her up and down, and only after confirming that she was not missing any limbs did he feel relieved.

"You've got some nerve!" he said in a low, angry voice. "The people from Misty Rain Pavilion! Do you know what kind of ruthless killers they are?"

"You charged in all by yourself? Where were your support teams? Where were your backup plans?"

"I..." Anya opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain.

You can't exactly say that you were originally waiting for backup, but you got so excited that you lost track of them, then you just happened to run into them, and then... you were saved by a stranger, right?

If she said that, wouldn't the entire municipal bureau make her a laughing stock?

"Boss, I'm really fine." That was all she could say.

Liu Jianguo looked at the three assassins on the ground, who were tightly handcuffed, one unconscious, one with a purple face, and one with a broken leg, and then looked at Anya.

He frowned. "You did this? You're capable of this?"

Anya's cheeks flushed slightly, and she shook her head: "It wasn't me."

"Who is that?" Liu Jianguo was stunned.

Anya hesitated for a moment, then pulled Liu Jianguo aside to avoid the gaze of other colleagues.

"Boss, something's weird," she whispered. "I chased them here and got cornered by the three of them. Then... then I grabbed a random passerby to cover for me."

Liu Jianguo's eyes twitched as he listened.

Just grab a random stranger?

Only Anya would do something like that.

"and then?"

"Then the three of them started fighting. They were cursing at the passerby, saying he was asking for it." Anya recalled the scene, her expression turning strange. "And then... the passerby made his move."

"How did he make his move?" Liu Jianguo pressed.

"He... walked over, and thud, one fell down. He bumped him again, and another fell down. Finally, he kicked him, and the third one fell down too." Anya gestured, even though she herself thought the description was outrageous.

The whole process was so fast that she couldn't even react.

"Then he clapped his hands and said that these guys were useless street thugs, and that my cosplay was pretty good... and then he disappeared."

After listening, Liu Jianguo fell into a long silence.

He stared at Anya with a complicated look in his eyes, as if trying to determine whether she was joking with him.

"A slap? A bump? A kick?" he asked, confirming.

"Yes." Anya nodded.

Liu Jianguo gasped.

He himself was also a martial arts practitioner, although he was only at the level of mastering internal strength, but he knew what a martial artist with transformed internal strength was.

He was a ruthless character who could take on ten men on the battlefield.

Three experts at the Transformation Realm—let alone Anya, even if he personally led a special police team, they would have to pay a heavy price to take them down.

But now, he was taken down in three seconds like a thug?

"Anya, you've met a master." Liu Jianguo finally uttered these words after a long while.

"A master?"

"This is no ordinary expert," Liu Jianguo's expression turned serious. "To be able to subdue three cultivators at the Transformation Realm so effortlessly, without even breaking a sweat... this person is definitely a martial arts prodigy."

"A...a celestial being?" Anya was completely stunned.

Born into a family of martial arts practitioners, she naturally knew this title; it referred to someone who stood at the pinnacle of all martial artists, a legendary figure.

That seemingly lazy and somewhat irritating man... is he a martial arts master?

Ye An's face involuntarily appeared in Anya's mind.

She is quite good-looking, but she doesn't seem to fit the image of a legendary, otherworldly, white-haired master at all.

the most important is……

Just now, I think I pushed him against the wall, and pressed my whole body against it...

Anya's face flushed red instantly.

Did I just... pin a martial arts master against the wall?

"Boss, are you sure you're not mistaken? Could it be that there's some internal strife within the Misty Rain Pavilion?" Anya still found it hard to believe.

"Internal strife?" Liu Jianguo shook his head. "Look at those three people on the ground. Their target is very clear: you. That expert just happened to be dragged into this by you. This can only mean that you were lucky; you just randomly pulled in a god."

Liu Jianguo also felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

When did such a powerful figure arrive in Shanghai? The police didn't even get a hint of it.

He quickly started to calculate in his mind.

A powerful expert at the Celestial level would never appear here without a reason.

What major events have happened in Shanghai recently?

A piece of information flashed through Liu Jianguo's mind.

"The Jiang family..." he murmured unconsciously.

"What happened to the Jiang family?" Anya asked.

"The Jiang family is a top martial arts family in Shanghai. These days happen to be their annual family gathering." Liu Jianguo looked at Anya with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Every year at the annual gathering, the Jiang family holds an internal martial arts competition to decide the allocation of family resources. Sometimes, in order to compete for rankings, each branch will invite some experts from outside to act as external aid."

Anya understood.

"Boss, you mean... that man is an outside helper hired by the Jiang family?"

"It's pretty much a done deal." Liu Jianguo nodded. "Only a family of Jiang's size could afford to hire a powerhouse of this caliber."

He thought to himself, this is important intelligence.

A mysterious powerful figure has intervened in the internal strife of the Jiang family, which could very well change the existing landscape of the martial arts world in Shanghai.

"We must find out everything about this person!" Liu Jianguo made a decisive decision. "Anya, you immediately recall all the characteristics of that person: appearance, clothing, accent, the more detailed the better."

"Yes!" Anya replied immediately.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she got stuck again.

Features?

She thought about it carefully and realized that the man was wearing very ordinary white clothes and had nothing on him that could identify him.

As for her appearance... she was too nervous at the time and was only focused on looking at the pursuers behind her. Later, she was startled by the other party's actions, and now all she has left in her mind is a vague impression that "she is quite good-looking".

"I can't remember..." Anya said with some frustration, "The situation was too urgent at the time."

"Can't you remember anything at all?"

"I just remember... when I hugged him, his chest muscles were quite broad."

Anya blushed, but still didn't reveal her only impression of Ye An.
