Dragon Gate Swordsman

Soon, as the wreckage of the collapsed building was moved away piece by piece, Chongxiao heard a cry for help.

He quickly took a few steps towards where the sound came from, moving the rubble and using his hands to create a gap.

"Help... help..."

"Don't worry, we're safe now, just hold on!"

The person trapped by the rubble was an Ursus. If Lin Yuxia was nearby, she would have reminded Chongxiao to be careful, but she was not there...

Chongxiao quickly cleared the obstacles and pulled up the Ursus man who seemed to have only suffered minor injuries.

"Are you OK?"

"I'm... not sure."

The Ursus covered his forehead with his hands, looking a little dazed, "I might have to... go to the hospital."

"Wait here for a moment. I'm from the Guard Bureau. I can contact a car to pick you up."

"No... no need... I should be able to go... by myself."

Chongxiao raised his eyebrows.

Are you still trying to be brave at this time? Is it necessary... or...

At this moment, a soft "hissing" sound suddenly came from the air.

They were two crystal clear needles, and their target was the Ursus people in front of Chongxiao.

Huh? what's the situation?

Before he could react, the Ursus man, who had just looked weak, instantly jumped up and stepped back, dodging the crystal needles.

Little did he know that Chongxiao, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, opened his eyes wide in shock.

Because he just realized that he couldn't get any information from the other person's brain...

What the hell? Has Occlumency spread here? Or does this guy have no brains at all?

"Officer Chongxiao! Be careful! He is the one who incited the infected to cause trouble!"

In fact, this is just Lin Yuxia's inference. The evidence is the conversation she heard when she just sneaked in, but it is very likely the truth.

Chongxiao did not hesitate either. He started running and raised his fist towards the Ursus people.

"Gaga...want to catch me!?"

The Ursus man's expression became ferocious, and without seeing him make any movement, Chongxiao suddenly felt a sense of pressure.

Not a metaphor of the heart and mind, but literally...heavy pressure spread across my arms in every direction, almost as if it was crushing my bones.

Originium skills?

As this thought flashed through his mind, Chongxiao immediately activated his internal energy, and an invisible sword energy instantly shot out from his fingertips, piercing through the Ursus man's shoulder cleanly and neatly.

"What...you actually!"

He probably wanted to say that you can actually use Originium skills, but this kind of nonsense is far less important than escaping... Realizing that Chongxiao was difficult to deal with, the Ursus man turned around and ran away, covering his injured part.

Lin Yuxia wanted to chase after him, but she heard an angry shout.

"Stop!"

Before he finished speaking, the Ursus man felt a powerful force hit his back, and he flew three or four meters away before falling heavily into the rubble...

What kind of move is that?

Lin Yuxia looked at Chongxiao in astonishment as he stood there with his right hand raised, and she became more certain that Shi Huaiya and Chen Huijie were just teasing her.

Mr. Chongxiao is obviously a master of martial arts, has a keen eye, and is extremely decisive in his actions. In addition, with his recent contributions as the ace of the special inspection team, it is impossible for him to be the "idiot" they call him.

Little did he know that Chongxiao himself was also confused at this moment.

In fact, his original plan was to use the new skill to make the stones near the Ursus fly up to stop him, but he was a little impulsive and felt something "launched" out along his palm.

Of course, the so-called thing is an invisible and intangible existence, just like directly releasing the energy generated by the rapid movement of an object.

Then this move should be called...

Kinetic impact?

This name...why does it feel so familiar...

"Sir, we have to catch him alive!"

As the subjective evaluation escalated again, Lin Yuxia's address became more respectful, and she rushed towards the Ursus quickly.

The fact that this race had thick skin and strong flesh was not just talk. Even after taking a solid hit, they still stood up tremblingly... and his gnashing teeth with a hint of determination made Chongxiao feel uneasy.

At the same time, he also discovered an extremely serious problem: why was his mind-reading ability completely ineffective on this Ursusian?

"You...don't even think about catching me!"

The Ursus suddenly pulled open his clothes, revealing what was tied to his body.

It was a simple detonating device that would activate when the iron wire acting as a safety was pulled, but what was even more terrible was... one could clearly see a circle of coarse source stone ore surrounding it.

Lin Yuxia's face turned pale in an instant... She no longer had time to turn around and escape to a safe distance, and her Originium skills, which had not yet been honed to perfection, were probably not enough to stop the fragments and Originium dust that burst out with the explosion.

However, at this moment, Chongxiao's figure arrived first and stood in front of her.

Sir, you...

A loud "bang" interrupted Lin Yuxia's thoughts and also attracted Xingxiong and others who were conducting search and rescue nearby.

The girl, remembering the horror of the oripathy, not only tried to hold her breath, but also covered her eyes tightly with her hands. This resulted in her being unable to fully observe Chongxiao's reaction after the bomb on the Ursus exploded.

But when she opened her eyes, she saw only a figure standing in front of her, and a mysterious light seemed to linger around him... Under the illumination of the azure and crystal light, countless fragments and dust were strangely suspended in the air, and fell into the rubble at her feet one after another.

What is this... Originium technique?

"Chongxiao!"

Xingxiong's voice suddenly came over, and he appeared two seconds later, "Are you okay? What happened to the explosion just now?"

After a few seconds of silence, Chongxiao replied in a deep voice: "It should be... the culprit committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

Chapter 19 You are responsible for repairing what you broke

The results of the radiographic examination showed that the operator's internal organs had clear outlines, with no abnormal shadows. The detection of Originium particles in the circulatory system showed no abnormalities, and there was no sign of mineral disease infection...

Looking at the conclusions in the medical test report, Mrs. Wen Yue’s brows furrowed more and more.

During the period when Wei Yanwu was seriously injured and had to recuperate at home, she temporarily took over the position of leader of the Guard Bureau, both to maintain normal operations and as a cover-up.

After all, Wei Yanwu definitely didn't want anyone to know that he had survived the duel with Chongxiao by sheer luck...

When the Imperial Guard Bureau was first established, Wen Yue was in charge of all administrative and planning work within the agency. Her management level was no worse than Wei Yanwu's, so the members of the Imperial Guard Bureau did not find it too strange. They were just curious about where Chief Wei was going after leaving his work to his wife...

However, at this moment, Wen Yue focused more than half of her attention on Chongxiao.

This young man of unknown origin claimed that he had lost most of his memories, but he possessed a power that was enough to crush Wei Yanwu... How could one not be on guard?

Not to mention that the test report that Wen Yue just received seemed to have revealed another abnormality in Chongxiao.

"Why...isn't he infected?"

The operation to hunt down the instigators two days ago can be said to have failed.

The culprit who instigated the infected to march in protest committed suicide with a bomb, and the two confirmed accomplices also died in the massive collapse of the factory office building. If the Disaster Defense Command Center had not lifted the state of emergency in Lungmen in time after confirming the situation, no one knows what the infected people who had gathered would do.

They do suffer from discrimination, but this also means that they do not have the same scruples as ordinary citizens.

Rat King Lin Gerui's daughter Lin Yuxia was at the scene at the time and was the only person who could provide valid testimony. It was a pity that Longmen could not use this confession to cause trouble for the Ursus Empire, and there was currently no evidence to reveal the specific identity of the instigator.

In other words, Longmen can only swallow this loss.

As for the more serious problem...

Boom!Boom!

"Please come in!"

Looking at the person who pushed the door open, a trace of regret and sympathy flashed in Wen Yue's eyes.

This is an Elafia police officer named Ilona Goss, who has been working in the Guard Bureau for four years. Because of her outstanding abilities, she was selected by Wei Yanwu to join the Special Inspection Team.

But now, she has a more important identity.

A person infected with oripathy.

In the operation two days ago, Ilona was a member of the special inspection team who was unfortunately affected by the first explosion. After being rescued by Xingxiong, a finger-sized fragment of Originium was stuck in her arm, which also changed her fate.

"...Please sit down first, Ilona."

"That's not necessary, Commander Fumizuki. I'm here to resign from you."

The word "resignation" made Wen Yue freeze in her action of pouring a cup of tea.

After a long while, she sighed deeply, "Have you decided?"

"I'm afraid that's beyond my control, sir."

Ilona smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Everyone knows what the consequences of this disease will be in the future. I shouldn't stay here and endanger others."

"So...what are your plans?"

"Maybe I'll leave Longmen, or maybe I'll move. I have a small amount of savings, sir. I should be able to stabilize my condition."

Even compared to the Ursus Empire, which does not treat the infected as human beings, Longmen's attitude in this regard is considered good, but they will not accept living under the same roof with the infected.

If it were Wei Yanwu, he would probably not ask too many questions, just give some unnecessary encouragement and promises verbally, and then let Ilona go... But Wen Yue is different. Compared to her husband who tends to be pragmatic, she still retains a little compassion as a woman.

"I will not accept your resignation."

"Sir?"

Ilona was slightly startled and was about to say something.

"This parade of infected people exposed a flaw in the Guard Bureau, which is the lack of sufficient penetration into the infected area."

Wen Yue came out from behind the table and patted her subordinate on the shoulder without any hesitation. "So, we need more professional informants, or even undercover agents... Do you understand what I mean?"

After all, he is an elite of the Guards Bureau, so Ilona naturally understands everything.

In this way, she still maintained a certain employment relationship with the Guards Bureau and could get some salary every month. Although it was not much, it was enough to guarantee basic livelihood.

"…Thank you very much, sir."

"No, to be exact... we should say sorry."

……

Once again, rapid and intensive collision sounds were heard in the training ground.

The police officers of the Imperial Guard Bureau have now become accustomed to the frequent sparring between Chongxiao and Xingxiong, and they are even too lazy to open a gambling game anymore, because the two of them always take advantage of this to get free meals and drinks...

But careful people found that this competition seemed a little different.

The difference lies in the star bear.

In the past battles with Chongxiao, although Xingxiong was not smiling, her expression was generally relaxed and happy, and she even had a hint of enjoyment. However, this time, her expression was unusually serious.

The reason is hard to guess: the operation two days ago ended in failure. Not only did the target not get captured, but three members of the special inspection team were injured, and Ilona was directly infected with oripathy.

As a temporary leader, it was difficult for Xingxiong not to take this as his responsibility.

In the past, when she encountered such a thing, she could drive her motorcycle to the outer ring to race to vent her anger, but now the special inspection team has a heavy workload and a significant reduction in staff, so she has to stay in the Guard Bureau on standby.

So, the best way to vent is naturally to drag Chongxiao, who had just finished his shift, into a fight.

Xingxiong is not good at any type of Originium skills, and has not received any training in the use of special weapons. Her fighting style is always very straightforward, basically using the Mountain Guarding Rock Style, Mountain Collapse Style, and Earth Stomping Style in Eastern Martial Arts... These are all bold and hard-core moves commonly used by the ghost clan.

In addition, there are various locking and throwing techniques used in close combat, but they are not often used against Chongxiao.

One reason is that Xingxiong herself is too powerful, and the lethality of these moves is too great. The other reason is that although most of the ghosts are careless and casual, she pays attention to certain aspects.

This includes excessive contact with the opposite sex...

Chongxiao, who wanted to "return the favor", basically did not use sword energy and Tai Chi, and only relied on basic fighting skills to fight against Xingxiong.
