The train attendant's pupils suddenly constricted!
Just as Chen Yifei's dagger was about to slice through his throat, a gray flash appeared, and his palm was instantly empty.
Chen Yifei's palm wind grazed past the attendant's neck, causing the latter to break out in a cold sweat. He took a sudden half-step back and thrust the dagger towards Chen Yifei in retaliation!
Forgot that he could steal weapons...
With empty hands, Chen Yifei had no choice but to dodge helplessly. This brief gap allowed the attendant to distance himself from Chen Yifei and barely stabilize his stance on the roof of the train.
"This speed... How is it possible?" The attendant looked at Chen Yifei in disbelief. "Have you also mastered the Divine Path?"
As if he had thought of something, his face underwent continuous changes.
"No, you're not just a regular new enforcer... Who are you? A disciple of the Crimson Heaven Sect? Or a member of the Twilight Organization?"
Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Chen Yifei didn't bother pretending anymore. He had to eliminate this guy quickly... He knew too much.
Without weapons, Chen Yifei could still fight unarmed with his own speed. The killing techniques he learned from Han Meng were not to be trifled with.
Chen Yifei changed his footsteps and approached the attendant at an extremely fast speed. The latter, having suffered a loss once, seemed somewhat wary of getting close to Chen Yifei and kept using his pistol and dagger to create distance between them.
As Chen Yifei gradually approached, the attendant had no choice but to keep retreating until he reached the end of the last carriage of the train, with almost no room to retreat further.
The dark brown coat fluttered on top of the train, and steam mixed with wind and snow gradually engulfed the figures of the two men.
At the same time, in the direction the train was heading, a narrow tunnel was rapidly approaching!
The tunnel was extremely narrow, with a height difference of less than a head from the train. The two men, who were fighting to the death, simultaneously felt a shock when they saw the rapidly approaching wall in their peripheral vision!
Just as they were about to collide with the tunnel, Chen Yifei reached for his chin and forcefully tore it off!
A piece of facial skin flew into the air.
Boom—!!
The train passed through the tunnel like a cannonball, and the compressed air emitted a low rumble.
Chaotic light and shadows flashed blurrily. Dozens of seconds later, light once again enveloped the roof of the train. On the dented cargo carriage, the attendant clambered up awkwardly...
"Damn, I almost fell for it."
Just when he was about to collide with the tunnel, he used the skill "Steal" to take the sand and mud loaded in the cargo carriage, causing the tarp below to suddenly collapse. He hid inside it and escaped.
He barely stabilized his body and saw a blood-colored cheetah crouching just a few steps away, with a pair of scarlet eyes staring at him intently.
A cheetah??
The moment he saw this thing, his pupils suddenly constricted.
Before he could react to why there would be a cheetah appearing out of nowhere on this train, he was about to raise his gun and shoot. Just then, that scarlet afterimage flashed across the roof of the train like lightning!
The sharp claws slashed through his wrist, and the gun rolled off the carriage along with his wrist.
Immediately afterward, the cheetah frantically tore at his neck and face. The piercing screams echoed through the wind and snow, quickly muffled by the rumbling train.
Clang - clang - clang...
After an unknown period, the cheetah finally slowed down... It stood up, transforming into the outline of a human.
He lifted his hand and gently wiped the hot blood from his cheek. Beneath the crimson, Chen Yifei's calm yet restrained face appeared.
Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. He casually picked up a handful of snow from the carriage roof and stuffed it into his mouth, rinsed for a moment, and spat it out.
"This skill... is unexpectedly useful," he muttered to himself.
This was his first encounter with an opponent possessing divine skills. Although he ultimately won, the other's eerie abilities left a profound impression on him... However, he speculated that this man at most possessed second-stage power.
The first-stage skill was stealing items, and the second-stage skill was stealing faces... But strictly speaking, neither of these skills had any offensive capabilities.
A thief was still a thief, and in terms of frontal combat effectiveness, they were still inferior to "soldiers."
Chen Yifei looked at the unrecognizable corpse, hesitated for a moment, then bent down to strip off all its clothes. With a kick, he sent the naked body flying under the carriage, where it was quickly crushed into fragments by the steel wheels.
Immediately after, he crumpled up the conductor's uniform and threw it into a nearby mountainside, disappearing without a trace.
"Sorry, the foundation of the Soldier Divine Path... I can't just let you have it."
Both the Fire Manipulator and his target were after the ancient treasure of the Soldier Path. Although he was only at the first stage and alone, Chen Yifei had no intention of giving up... He planned to take a risky gamble.
The Fire Manipulator was an enemy, but if used well, he might become his weapon.
Chen Yifei glanced at the position of the passenger carriage, and a plan emerged in his mind. Madness flickered in his eyes again!
At this moment, Chen Yifei could clearly feel his twisted divine path rejoicing, his empty chest pulsating, and every cell in his body waiting for him to dance between life and death.
He knew that this twisted divine path was altering his personality again...
But this feeling... was really not bad!

...
"What do you think, will number 13 or number 8 return first?"
Inside the passenger carriage, Zhong Yaoguang and another trainee from the same period sat together in their original seats, chatting while munching on melon seeds.
"It should be number 13. The law enforcer leading the team in zone three looks like he can run really fast."
"I just heard gunshots from the back of the train. Someone should have finished their task..."
"I think it's number 8. After all, number 8 is at the third stage and has learned that skill. Killing people is not difficult for him."
"That makes sense..."
Just as everyone was talking, a figure wrapped in a dark brown coat lightly landed by the carriage door, stepping inside with scattered snow.
"It's number 13 who returned first," Zhong Yaoguang smiled. "Why did you take so long?"
"That kid pretended to escape but actually hid on the roof of the train. It took me a whole lap to find him. I'm exhausted," Chen Yifei complained as he casually walked to his seat and sat down.
"Quite clever..."
"It's understandable. He was the first to spot us," another law enforcer replied.
"Here, have some melon seeds."
Chen Yifei picked up two melon seeds, munching on them while looking around the carriage.
"Haven't you caught the other one yet?" he asked casually.
Jiang Qin ran away at the same time as him. If he chose the right path, he might have escaped...
Chen Yifei didn't care about the others' deaths, but he hoped Jiang Qin would survive.
Chen Yifei looked at his thick dark brown coat and felt a little worried.
"Not yet. I don't know what's going on."
"...Forget it. I'll go and check," a faint light flashed in Chen Yifei's eyes as he stood up and walked towards the carriage door.
"You don't need to."
Just then, a figure entered the carriage, facing him and walking slowly...
Upon seeing that person, Chen Yifei's pupils slightly contracted.
The bloodied "Jiang Qin" dragged a corpse through the carriage and stopped in front of Chen Yifei... The corpse in his hand was another Jiang Qin.
"Jiang Qin" lifted a bloody palm and patted Chen Yifei's shoulder,
"Everyone's been successfully impersonated. Good job."
After speaking, he brushed past Chen Yifei.
Chen Yifei was stunned for a long time, slightly bowing his head.
On the dark brown coat, a crimson bloodstain stood out, shocking to see.
