Dragon Gate Swordsman

"……hateful!"

Forcibly suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in his brain, Chongxiao's sense of responsibility as a policeman made him burst out at an astonishing speed and rush towards the direction he sensed.

As expected, the smell of blood in the air gradually became stronger...

Soon, he found the target location.

This is a huge mansion, even larger than the one Wei Yanwu used as the headquarters of the Guard Bureau. With the help of street lights, one can vaguely see several villa-like buildings inside, and screams can be heard faintly.

Chongxiao did not hesitate. He used his feet to jump over the two-meter-high wall, took out his cell phone and called the police.

"Hello, this is the Central District Command of Shendu..."

"There's been a murder here, and many people may have been killed!"

"Sir, please tell us where you are now."

"Not sure, I'll keep in touch and track the cell phone signal!"

Chongxiao locked the screen directly and put the phone back into his pocket.

The "quite a few" he just mentioned might be an understatement. The strong smell of blood in the air would probably make ordinary people vomit, and the bodies of the murdered people could be seen everywhere in the courtyard.

There was no time to stop and check, as the sound of weapons clashing could still be heard in the distance.

Knowing that there must be survivors, Chongxiao did not hesitate and climbed over the walls and roofs and soon arrived at the scene of the battle.

This seems to be a hall like a martial arts arena. Two people from the Filin tribe can be seen fighting with a man in black, but the situation is already precarious.

The two members of the Filin tribe, one old and one young, the old one was obviously out of breath, and the young one was about the same age as Chen Huijie and the others. At this time, he was covered with bruises and blood was splattered all over his body.

The man in black who was fighting with the two of them was very at ease, and his strength was obviously far superior to theirs.

Seeing this, Chongxiao did not hesitate at all, nor did he roar to warn the enemy like the righteous heroes in the movies. Instead, he jumped directly from the wall and punched the man in black.

After all, he was just out for a walk, so he didn't bring his rebellious nature with him.

"Huh!?"

The man in black was startled, but dodged Chongxiao's fist at the last moment.

Perhaps seeing someone coming to rescue them, the two Filin people immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was a pity that the elderly man was staggering and could hardly stand steadily.

Chongxiao was unarmed, but he was not at all inferior to the murderous man in black.

A master... Although not as good as Lao Wei, the gap is probably not that big...

Wei Yanwu was once again used as the standard for measuring combat power.

"Let go!"

A burst of energy came out unexpectedly and accurately hit the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand.

Chongxiao intended to capture him alive. After all, killing at least dozens of people here was not something that the other party could do alone.

But he was wrong...

The man in black did not let go, even though the fierce kinetic impact caused his arm to dislocate with a dull sound.

This scene made Chongxiao’s eyes focus.

The other party is not an ordinary criminal, but a very professional assassin killer, or even a death squad.

Chongxiao's brain was working at an astonishing speed and he immediately thought of the coronation ceremony of the True Dragon Emperor. Anyone who dared to commit such a bloody crime around the Yanhuang Palace would probably not be so easy to deal with.

Sure enough, after a few urgent seconds, he felt a sharp sound of breaking air behind him!

"careful!"

The young Filin gritted her teeth and screamed. She was seriously injured and bleeding profusely, and the condition of the old man next to her was also very grim.

Chongxiao, who had already sensed the sneak attack, was too lazy to dodge. He directly released the energy in his body to form a shield, but his attention was still focused on the man in black in front of him.

It seems that I can't stop you unless I take ruthless measures!

Nine Styles of Taixu: Flowing Void.

Without any warning, the sharp sword energy rushed straight towards the legs of the man in black. Although he tried hard to jump up and avoid it, his right leg was cut off by the next sword energy and he fell to the ground struggling.

However, even so, he didn't make any sound.

Really a dead soldier! ?

Chongxiao was secretly surprised, but his hands did not slow down at all. He turned around and dealt with the person who had just attacked him.

The opponent's crossbow arrows could not break through his energy shield, and could not even pose a threat... It was very likely that the person was killed by poison rather than by shooting force. Such a sinister method also made Chongxiao extremely unhappy.

After a few rounds of fighting, the attacker was obviously unable to hold on.

Ever since he recalled the names of the moves, Chongxiao's control over sword energy has become more and more proficient. He even has a vague impression of the last few moves. Now he can control the power of the sword energy freely, and soon he tore apart the corner of the roof where the attacker was hiding.

However, at this moment, the shadow he projected on the ground seemed to come over, and suddenly several black spikes stretched out.

There is such a weird Originium technique! ?

Chongxiao quickly dodged, but how could his own shadow be shaken off so easily?

He was so busy dealing with it that he failed to pay attention to his surroundings. When the shadow finally "calmed down", the man in black with a cut-off leg and the attacker were nowhere to be seen.

Neither of them should be able to use that kind of Originium technique, which means... there are other enemies!

Chongxiao vigilantly sensed the situation around him, but found nothing.

The young Feilin had fainted, probably because of excessive blood loss, and the old Feilin seemed unable to hold on... When Chongxiao walked over, she could only tremble and stretch out her bloody hand...

"City...God..."

After saying just two words, old man Filin spat out a mouthful of blood of a strange color, and then fell silent.

Chongxiao sighed secretly and reached out to close the old man's eyes.

City God... Is this referring to the City God Temple outside the capital? Or is there another meaning?

He felt that he should get to the bottom of this bloody incident.

Chapter 41: Elite of the Imperial Guard, Junior Official of the Dali Temple

Winter nights are always so cold, even in the warm and lively capital of God.

Those who were looking forward to the coronation ceremony naturally had no idea that a horrific bloodbath had just occurred in the Central District not far from them, and the Central District Special Police who rushed there could only count the number of victims and collect the bodies.

"The identity is unknown, but the powerful black-clad men are extremely determined. They acted as a group, and the weapons and tactics they used showed signs of coordination... Is there anything else you want to add?"

"temporarily unavailable."

"Well...thank you very much for your assistance, Inspector Chongxiao."

There were nearly a dozen police cars parked near the crime scene, and even more ambulances...but except for the one that had already left and taken away the last survivor, the others could only be used to transport corpses.

A total of fifty-three people, including elders, children, cooks, nannies, and cleaners, all died except the one saved by Chongxiao, and their deaths were quite tragic.

This was a massacre aimed at exterminating an entire family.

The response speed of the Central District Special Police was quite fast. They started blocking the scene, controlling public opinion, investigating traces, and taking witness statements almost at the same time. They also coordinated a large number of ambulances to come to support when they received the report from Chongxiao.

The police officer who was in charge of taking Chongxiao's statement was obviously wary at first, but when he learned that he was a colleague of Longmen and that there were no contradictions in his description, his attitude obviously became much better.

"Inspector Chongxiao lives nearby?"

"I guess so. It's at the Fenglaiyi Hotel near Huanjie Street."

"Then please let me take you back. For such a major case, a special task force will surely be set up tonight. When the formal investigation begins tomorrow, we will need your assistance, Inspector."

Chongxiao wanted to decline, but the face of old man Feilin before his death suddenly flashed through his mind.

It has been more than half a year since he joined the Guard Bureau, and his professional instincts have long been cultivated. As for the sense of responsibility... Chongxiao has always believed that he has an excess in this aspect.

"If possible, please take me directly back to the police station."

"……what?"

"After all... I am entrusted by someone."

Chongxiao turned his head to look at the increasingly quiet luxurious house, smiled and said, "So if there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely do my best."

……

The Central District Special Police Bureau is affiliated with the Dali Temple and is one of the seven special police bureaus in Shendu. It is also the one with the best personnel and equipment, and can even be compared with Dayan’s regular army.

Its headquarters is located on the west side of the central area, next to the Dali Temple and not far from the Yanhuang Palace.

When the police officer brought Chongxiao to the command center, the place was still brightly lit and busy, and it was obvious that it was not due to the bloody incident that had just occurred.

In other words, this might be the case every day here…

As expected of a public security management agency in the core area of ​​the capital, one can imagine how stressful it is to work here.

Chongxiao was taken to an ordinary meeting room instead of the investigator's office, which meant that the other party really treated him as a guest, or they had not yet decided who would be responsible for the specific investigation.

The murder of fifty-three people obviously could not be handled by just any police officer, even in the elite Shendu Special Police Department.

The office area outside cannot be seen directly from here, but Chongxiao can already sense the tension spreading... The coronation ceremony is imminent, but such a horrific tragedy has occurred in the central area, and the victims are most likely from the aristocratic families of the Divine Capital.

No matter how you think about it, this will definitely be the explosive headline of Shendu tomorrow.

The police officer who brought Chongxiao here gave him a visitor card so that if someone asked, he could explain that he was a relevant person assisting in the investigation of the case, and then left.

He also mentioned that it might take quite some time for Chongxiao to ascend the mountain. It was already nearly midnight, and no matter how swift the emergency measures of the Dali Temple were, they would still take time... If no one came, they could just rest in this reception room.

That's nothing. The Shendu Special Police Bureau is much larger than the Longmen Guard Bureau, and it must liaise with the upper management, the Dali Temple. As a result, its reaction speed is definitely not as fast as that of the special inspection team.

Chongxiao could fully understand this.

But what he didn't expect was that there was a new guest in the reception room soon, and it was someone he knew...

With a creaky sound, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Huh? How come... who are you?"

The person who walked in was a Liberi official with an old face. Judging from his clothes, he did not look like a member of the SWAT team, but his dignity and bearing were quite extraordinary, and he was obviously a person in a high position.

Chongxiao quickly picked up the visitor card and was about to explain when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Eh? Isn't this Brother Chongxiao? Why are you here?"

Zhao Zhen, the young man from the Dragon Clan whom he met outside the Divine Capital City, followed behind the Liberi official, and the guard whom he had met before was also there.

No... he wasn't following behind. Judging from his movements and the way he was about to turn sideways, the officer was obviously...

Open the door for him.

He is indeed a nobleman from the capital of God!

Since they are people we know, it will be easy to deal with, not to mention that these three people are obviously led by Zhao Zhen.

Chongxiao explained as concisely as possible why he was here, which surprised Zhao Zhen and the Liberi officials.

"What a coincidence... It turned out that it was you, Brother Zhongxiao, who called the police..."

For some reason, Zhao Zhen's tone contained a hint of emotion.

But he quickly regained his composure, "So, you also fought with those assassins?"

"Yeah, I also removed a guy's leg. The SWAT guys should have brought him back."

This sentence made Zhao Zhen stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter and took the initiative to reach out and pat Chongxiao on the shoulder.

This move surprised both his guards and the officials of Liberi.

"If this case can be solved successfully, I will definitely credit you with this achievement, Brother Chongxiao."

"It doesn't matter. It would be great if I could help with the investigation."

Chongxiao vaguely felt that he could make use of the connections of this new friend. After all, it wasn't something shameful or dirty, so what would be wrong with building some connections?

After he stated his request, Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the Liberian official standing beside him.

"Gu Qing, what do you think?"

"This... palace..."
