Chen Yifei reached out and grabbed the card.
"Skill: [Blood Clothes]"
"Affiliation: War God Path, [Asura] Route, First Stage;"
"Character: Jian Changsheng."
After absorbing the card, Chen Yifei closed his eyes for a moment and muttered to himself,
"Blood Clothes... No wonder."
The [Blood Clothes] skill is different from the [Iron Clothes] of other routes. It does not possess extraordinary defense and strength. Its unique characteristic is that as one becomes more injured, their combat effectiveness increases, especially in terms of strength and speed.
At the same time, the owner of [Blood Clothes] will have their vitality significantly increased. Unless it's an absolute fatal wound like a headshot, other injuries will make it difficult to kill them completely...
This also explains why Jian Changsheng is like an indestructible cockroach, getting stronger as the battle progresses.
This skill also compensates for Chen Yifei's current shortcoming, which is his mediocre physical fitness. Even with the [Dance of Killing], it's difficult for him to unleash his full strength.
"Next time before a fight, I'll stab myself three times!" Chen Yifei thought to himself.
After absorbing the skill, the halftime break was completely over. Chen Yifei only felt a sudden dizzying sensation, and his consciousness began to return to his body...
...
"How is he? Can he still survive?"
"I don't know... We've been trying to save him for so long, but there's still no response." The four-stripe law enforcement officer shook his head and spoke with a bitter expression, "There's probably no hope."
Upon hearing this, the five-stripe law enforcement officer's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, growling,
"Continue saving him!! Bring out the best hormones we have! If he can't be saved, we'll all die!"
The two law enforcement officers looked at each other and immediately went to prepare the hormone injection. At this moment, a weak, mosquito-like voice croaked out.
"I..."
The three law enforcement officers were simultaneously stunned, and then their faces lit up with joy!
"He's still alive!! He's still alive!"
"Chen Yifei, can you hear me? How do you feel?"
Under the expectant gazes of the three law enforcement officers, Chen Yifei struggled to open his eyes. His dilated pupils slowly focused, and he opened his mouth,
"Where... is this?"
"This is on a ship. We've brought you out of the Ancient Treasure of the War God Path." The five-stripe law enforcement officer anxiously asked, "Chen Yifei, what happened inside the Ancient Treasure of the War God Path?"
Upon hearing the words "Ancient Treasure of the War God Path," Chen Yifei's pupils visibly contracted. He seemed to have remembered something terrifying. After a long while, he struggled to utter three words,
"The... Fire... Manipulators."
The three law enforcement officers' hearts skipped a beat!
"Indeed." The five-stripe law enforcement officer tightly clenched his fists, and his eyes shone, "Only they could disguise themselves and infiltrate our ranks... But when did they actually make their move?"
"...It was the train."
"What?"
"The Fire Manipulators attacked the law enforcement train from District One... Then they all disguised themselves as them... and infiltrated the Ancient Treasure." Chen Yifei couldn't help but clench his fists as he croaked,
"After they entered the Ancient Treasure, they went on a rampage. Our law enforcement officers from Districts Three, Five, and Six... along with several from Aurora City, were swept up in their gunfire and fell off the cliff...
I was coerced by Yan Xicai at that time and separated from them, which is why I escaped."
"They attacked the train?"
"That's not right. The railway bureau didn't report any attack... I'll check again once we dock."
"How many people did District One send?"
"It seems like nine."
The five-stripe law enforcement officer's brow furrowed slightly as he recalled the corpses of several Fire Manipulators he had seen, seemingly counting the numbers.
Chen Yifei continued, "Then, that Pu Wen used some kind of paper to immobilize them all... Lu Xuanming slashed one of them to death, and Yan Xicai also used his ring to push two others off the cliff. Pu Wen shouted something, and we all fled separately."
It all fits... The five-stripe law enforcement officer nodded slightly.
"I was very scared and escaped to a secluded place alone. But I saw several War God Paths descending onto other locations... Later, Yan Xicai said they were going to suppress the Fire Manipulators, and then they started fighting."
"Yan Xicai said that?" The five-stripe law enforcement officer asked with surprise.
"Yes, he said those Fire Manipulators stole his ring... He had a heavy murderous aura at that time, as if he was very angry."
"And then?"
"And then they started fighting. I originally planned to hide until the end, but a Fire Manipulator who was being chased ran towards me. I fought him desperately and killed him... After that, I saw a War God Path crashing onto my face, and I lost consciousness."
Chen Yifei concluded his narrative, his eyes filled with sincerity and pain.
The three law enforcement officers looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes... At this point, the cause and effect of the incident had been basically clarified, but for more specific details, Aurora City might still need to send someone in to verify.
"So, you've also stepped onto the War God Path?"
"...It seems so." Chen Yifei replied uncertainly.
"Which route?"
"[Asura]."
Upon hearing these two words, shock appeared in the eyes of the three law enforcement officers. They looked at Chen Yifei in disbelief, seemingly unaware that his talent was so terrifying.
"Alright, you should rest well first." The five-stripe law enforcement officer took a deep breath, "After we dock, we'll conduct a more thorough investigation... This incident is extremely serious. You should be prepared for Aurora City's interrogation at any time."
Chen Yifei hummed in response and then closed his tired eyes. The three law enforcement officers pushed the door open and left.
As the ship gradually moved away from the territory of the Ancient Treasure of the War God Path, the fragment of the War God Path hidden in Chen Yifei's embrace suddenly trembled!
...
Three law enforcement officers stood on the deck, looking back at the dark night sky above the Ancient Treasure of the Warpath.
"What do you think?"
"This incident is too heinous... After we disembark, we must immediately notify Aurora City."
"I heard that the Fire Manipulators usually operate in the southern territories. Why did they suddenly come to the Aurora Territory?"
"I don't know..."
Before they finished speaking, the giant black sword piercing the heavens let out a low rumble of thunder, and a chilling murderous intent instantly locked onto the ship that was about to leave the territory!
"The murderous intent of the Warpath Deity?!?" The faces of the three law enforcement officers changed drastically. "What's going on?! What disturbed those beings deep within the Ancient Treasure?"
Almost simultaneously, Chen Yifei inside the room also opened his eyes. He could feel a warm current flashing across the surface of the Bai Qili token.
After this warm current flashed, the murderous intent emanating from the Ancient Treasure of the Warpath quickly dissipated... as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
"Did I see things wrong?" The four-stripe law enforcement officer looked at the calm frozen sea, his eyes filled with confusion.
"The Ancient Treasure of the Warpath did react," the five-stripe law enforcement officer immediately spoke up.
"But, but why?"
"...Something's not right!"
"What's not right?"
"That Chen Yifei who came out of the Ancient Treasure is not right!"
