Chapter 20 - The Terrifying Bruce!

After hearing Lin Shan's words, Qianxue stopped making a fuss and the two of them strolled along the Willow Lake.

The scenery by Willow Lake was beautiful, and the surface of the lake was undulating.

The lights of the distant city were reflected in the lake, speckled like a city on water.

On the surface of the lake, there was a mechanical dreamy ship docked. On the ship, there were songs and dances, and from time to time, the laughter of women could be heard.

The two of them naturally knew what that place was.

"We've already been in there for two hours. Could it be that they've drowned in the ship?" Qianxue rolled her eyes.

Bai Yu and his friend arrived at the shore of Willow Lake and headed straight for the ship, but they had not come out yet.

They looked exactly like those men who were drunk on the dreamy ship.

"They're probably waiting for someone. Didn't the intelligence you received say that they were going to meet someone to trade something?" Lin Shan's mind was on that trade.

Even though she did not doubt Bai Yu. However, him carrying out a trade made her curious as to what was going on.

There were all sorts of people on the dreamy ship.

Women from different races, customers, thugs, gambling dens, underground black markets. All sorts of things were mixed together, turning the mechanical ship in front of them into a gray area, a place to squander money.

"Ladies, excuse me."

At this moment, a warm and slightly aged voice sounded from behind the two women.

Qianxue was shocked.

She did not sense anything when he approached her, he was just like a ghost.

She turned around to a wrinkled face.

This was a man who looked to be around 50 years old. He had a head full of silver hair, and his face was of a typical ordinary citizen. He had blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and a gentle expression. It was very easy for people to have a good impression of him.

However, Qianxue and Lin Shan were extremely wary.

There was something wrong with this person.

Lin Shan was already a sequence 8 extraordinary human, but she did not sense his arrival. This could only mean one thing…

"Ladies, it's getting late. Shouldn't you go back and rest?

"The tasks of an investigator are very complicated. If you don't take the time to rest, it'll be difficult to handle your work during the day."

Bruce had his usual smile on his face. It was not strange for him to see the investigator here.

With his financial resources, he would be able to find out about the people of the Pingyi Company in Linjiang City after asking around.

It would be strange if the investigator did not show up.

To be safe, he assumed that Bai Yu must have sent the investigators here.

With the other party's IQ, he could have guessed that his real purpose was to get the demon paper from the Pingyi Company.

Whether the other party believed it or not, he would come here tonight to verify it.

As expected, he was not an ordinary person. First, he wanted Bruce to fight with the Pingyi Company.

Whether he won or lost, it would be advantageous to Bai Yu.

These two investigators would also have access to store the demon paper again, making everything go according to plan.

Bruce's thoughts spun wildly in his mind as he thought about his plan.

He could feel the other party's powerful ability to lay out a plan. Under this kind of game, he had an absolute advantage in strength, but he still could not gain any advantage in terms of information on the other party.

His enemy was in the dark while he was in the light, he did not have the first initiative, he could only be led by the other party.

These two investigators were very likely the first move that the other party had given him, and he had no choice but to take it as an opportunity.

'The first three extraordinary incidents, with the help of the abyssal demonic order, were all perfectly cleared of suspicion, and the demon papers were stored.

'But this time, even if I get back the fourth demon paper, there's a high possibility that the matter will be exposed. The Otherworld Division will be on high alert… If they separate the demon paper into different pieces, then my plan will be ruined.

'How troublesome. How did that kid reach this conclusion?

'If I continue on like this, I'll lose out.

'So...

'I'll just have to use extreme measures to stop this from boiling over.'

Bruce's heart was boiling with killing intent. He had been tricked, causing a larger problem!

This kind of scheming. No matter who this person is, he must not be kept alive. Otherwise, he would definitely become a disaster for his own plan.

First, he had to force the other party out and turn the passive into the active. Then, he would deal with these two investigators!

The surroundings had already been set up with an isolation type sealed artifact. Today, he had no intention of letting anyone walk out of the area alive.

"Who are you?"

Qianxue stared at the old man in front of her suspiciously. The lovable feeling that was naturally emitted from her body slowly disappeared and was replaced by a piercing coldness.

"An extraordinary power that affects the soul? This isn't of much use to me. My soul has long been immune to all poisons."

Bruce shook his head. His blue eyes revealed a look of reminiscence.

"My name is Bruce. As for my identity, at most, I used to be a martial artist.

"As I get older, my body resiliency drops, so I can't even remember the feeling of being at the peak when I was young.

"But recently, I've obtained a method to recover to the peak.

"Even if this method requires some people to die and some mysterious existences to make a deal with.

"But..

"Aren't we cultivating and fighting for the sake of having powerful strength?"

Qianxue did not even have the time to react before a shriveled hand grabbed her neck and lifted her up from the ground.

It was the same action and the same feeling she experienced before!

Qianxue recalled how Bai Yu had lifted her up previously. Her fragile soul had suffered a critical hit.

Qianxue's face was filled with rage, but she could not resist.

That was because she was only an extraordinary human.

An extraordinary human's ability was unpredictable and unpredictable, making it impossible to defend against. However, once an extraordinary human's ability becomes inaccessible, it would be impossible to fight back.

In that case, other than having extraordinary strength in her constitution, which made her a punching bag, she did not have any other strength.

Another tearing sound was heard. Qianxue's neck was pulled open and a hideous wound appeared. Fresh blood instantly spurted out.

Lin Shan quickly came back to her senses and tried to fight back.

A layer of hazy halo lingered around her right arm. Small tadpole-like black lines crawled all over her entire arm.

"Torture Hand, break the skin!"

She grabbed towards Bruce's chest and instantly cut open his suit and skin, leaving a bloody big hole. However, the strange wound made her and Qianxue's hearts jump.

There were no organs in Bruce's chest. It was bright red and full of squirming flesh.

It was terrifying and bloody.

He had come into contact with the stranger, so his body had become like this!

"I'm sorry for scaring you two beautiful ladies."

Bruce gently brushed the dust off his khaki suit. The flesh on his chest squirmed and gathered together. "You guys are too weak to understand this kind of beauty.

"Being extraordinary?

"Without the support of blood resiliency, you're all useless.

"The world will always think that extraordinary people are superior and suppress martial arts.

"Today, I will let you see how terrifying a real martial artist is. 

"The path of martial arts is the correct path!"

Bruce gently tapped his cane. His figure moved like a ghost to the hands of the two women. A hand knife filled with murder intent instantly struck down!

Qianxue's body was like a tattered kite, flying more than ten meters away.

As soon as she landed, she spat out large mouthfuls of blood and completely lost the ability to move. Although the wound on her neck was recovering rapidly, it could not keep up with the speed of the injury.

The body of an extraordinary person was different from that of an ordinary person. Usually, they had a strong recovery ability. However, the difference between the strength of the person in front of her was too great.

"An extraordinaire who has yet to develop her true strength is pitifully weak.

"And you, as the person-in-charge of the investigation association in the Eastern District, you should be at least a sequence 8 extraordinaire, right?"

Bruce was enjoying the long-lost pleasure brought by this battle.

The feeling of being alive had invigorated his senses, the refined smile on his face kept on expanding. 

"Actually, I too am at a sequence eight, but the difference between you and me is too great for you to comprehend. Therefore, I suggest that you give up the meaningless resistance and accept your fate. You will suffer less physical pain..."

"Bullsh*t."

Lin Shan's eyes gradually turned blood-red, and her right arm was covered with more black lines, emitting an extremely dangerous black light. "The experts have been notified and are making their way. You'll definitely die today!"
