The attribute panel slowly revealed several lines of small print.
[New Extraordinary Gene: Time and space escape]
[New Extraordinary Ability: Stealth (Hard to be located, and can escape freely within a certain range)]
[New skill…]
[Vitality +32 Card]
…
“Escape Arts?” Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had Dark Shadow Flicker, but it required being in a shadowy area to trigger.
Now, the Time and space escape brought by Wen Renzhi naturally eliminated this prerequisite.
However, Stealth had its inconveniences… it required time to activate and couldn’t be initiated instantly like Dark Shadow Flicker.
That was why Wen Renzhi, despite his desperate will to survive, hadn’t been able to escape from Pei Jinye’s hands this time.
In close combat, ten of him wouldn’t be enough for one Pei Jinye!
If it weren’t for Pei Jinye wanting a quick and decisive battle last time to consume that kid, the old man would never have gotten away in the first place.
Just thinking about this.
The Extraordinary Abilities column in front of him changed.
[Stealth]and[Dark Shadow Flicker]both displayed an option to fuse.
He made a quick decision.
Instant fusion.
The attribute panel updated with new information.
Two Extraordinary Abilities combined into a new Extraordinary Ability—
[Flash Escape]!
(Effect 1: Instant activation)
[Effect 2: Under the shadow, the Flash Escape distance is doubled (Spirit·Shadow + Time and space escape, both advancing can indefinitely enhance the Flash Escape distance effect)]
Pei Jinye’s eyes sparkled lightly.
Instant activation?
That means it has the advantages of Dark Shadow Flicker.
“Tsk!”
From the deep pit behind him, a low growl, like that of a beast gasping for air, could be heard.
Pei Jinye didn’t look back.
In the moment the breaking air sounded, his entire figure vanished from the spot like a specter.
A two-meter-tall humanoid monster pounced and landed on empty space… its body covered with large tumors, strands of green liquid continuously oozing out, looking utterly disgusting.
And just as this behemoth landed,
Pei Jinye’s vanished silhouette was only about ten centimeters away from his previous position, yet it was this ten-centimeter distance that he used to Flash Escape to another location and then reappear.
This also meant that the activation time for the newly synthesized Extraordinary Ability was even shorter than Dark Shadow Flicker.
A breeze swept through the woods.
Pei Jinye’s coat fluttered backward, his gaze calm.
He reached out and pressed through the air towards the back of the humanoid monster.
Imprisonment!
Abyssal Blast!
“Bang!”
The massive body of the humanoid monster was sent flying.
But just as it was flung halfway up in the air, Pei Jinye, expressionless, reached out his hand, and the space froze, directly immobilizing the opponent in mid-air.
An Ice Dragon emerged suddenly.
The humanoid monster struggled fiercely, howled.
But soon,
The Water Dragon, Earth Dragon, and Fire Dragon all appeared simultaneously, surrounding the humanoid monster in a circle.
Under the enhancement of Elemental Power multiplied several times over,
The terrifying pressure made the roars of the humanoid monster seem feeble.
“Bang!”
A massive dragon’s claw slammed down.
Flesh burst and splattered.
The next second,
An endless darkness completely devoured the humanoid monster, wounded all over.
Dimly,
He seemed to hear two words amidst the darkness… “Enter dream.”
…
…
…
“Found him! We’ve found the person!”
The Special Forces team appeared on the riverbank and finally saw Pei Jinye walking out of the water, dragging a corpse behind him.
A multitude of figures rushed over quickly.
“Old Pei!” Brother Bi and Zhou Ye were the first to rush over.
At this moment, Pei Jinye’s face was pale, his body drenched, as if he had just swum up from the bottom of the river.
“I almost died.” Pei Jinye looked at them, revealing a purely clean smile on his ashen face.
“You kid.” Brother Bi saw his weak yet satisfied look and couldn’t help but laugh and scold, “You’re courting death.”
As they were talking,
Liu Feng led his team to arrive, and seeing that Pei Jinye was still alive, he let out a sigh of relief and waved his hand, “Where’s the rescue vehicle, hurry up, fast!”
“Captain Liu.” Pei Jinye gestured to the corpse on the ground, “I only left him, the target was taken by an old man, I only saw a silhouette, it should’ve been captured on video.”
“Let’s not talk about that for now, doctor, quickly check on my brother,” Captain Liu urged.
Pei Jinye was lifted onto the vehicle by Sun Sifu.
“You’re really something,” Sun Sifu whispered as he got on the vehicle.
He was truly impressed.
From the point of falling into the river to the point of getting ashore, it was at least fifteen kilometers, and along the way, it was unclear how many dangers were faced.
Yet still, Pei Jinye managed to swim back through the river with a corpse from the enemy.
This determination, this ruthlessness, Sun Sifu felt chills just thinking about it.
[Are the young people of today all this intense?]
…
In the base’s medical building.
“Doctor Huang, how is he?” Liu Feng didn’t leave; he stayed to accompany him.
The middle-aged doctor responsible for examining Pei Jinye turned to look at him, “The young man is in good shape, he just took some impact to his internal organs. Rest quietly for the next two days. After the infusion, you can leave.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng finally relaxed.
Doctor Huang joked with a light tone, “Young man, don’t exert yourself too much; if things go south, run away promptly. How much severance can the prematurely departed talent get? There’s still a beautiful life ahead of you.”
“If you retreat once, you’ll find yourself retreating over and over, and if everyone retreats, who will protect the innocent people of Da Peng City?” Pei Jinye pondered, “The mysterious assassins must have some other purpose.”
“You… you…” Doctor Huang looked at Pei Jinye with a complex expression, then gently patted his shoulder, “You’re a good person.”
He turned to Liu Feng, “Captain Liu, young people who truly devote themselves to their work are rare these days.”
Liu Feng’s face darkened, “Doctor Huang, please, stop it. It’s hard enough to find such a promising talent. If you keep this up, you might just pluck him away. Brother Pei’s martial arts path is one of overwhelming momentum and relentless advance. What would he look like if he retreated and shrank back?”
However, he then looked towards Pei Jinye.
“But I have to say a few words to you too. If you encounter danger, send out a warning immediately. The monitoring station at Xing Tian said they lost your data for a full three minutes.”
“I might have been affected,” Pei Jinye’s expression looked as though he really had no idea what happened. He then asked, “By the way, Brother Liu, did the backend manage to identify that old man?”
“They did,” Liu Feng nodded.
Just then, Doctor Huang suddenly said, “You guys talk, I still have patients to check up on.”
He left with the nurse, closing the door behind them.
Liu Feng spoke in a low voice, “You’re really lucky, the team has confirmed… the person is called Wen Renzhi, a formal member of the Sand Flame Association, and has been carrying out assassination missions in the Western Continent for the past two years… I don’t know when he came to our Da Peng City, but a citywide manhunt is underway, hoping to find him as soon as possible.”
Of course, Pei Jinye knew they wouldn’t find him.
But Wen Renzhi’s body had already been disposed of by him, not leaving a trace behind.
The disappearance of the Variant Blood Individual naturally got blamed on Wen Renzhi.
How could a hero who fought bravely without regard for his life be a murderous maniac?
That’s just absurd!
“You rest up. I’ve spoken to Chief Lin, and you’ve been given three days off. Get some good rest.”
Liu Feng said his farewell and left. Outside, Sun Sifu peeked in, greeted Pei Jinye, and then followed behind.
Pei Jinye lay alone on the hospital bed.
His gaze fell calmly onto his attribute panel.
…
[New Extraordinary Gene: Demon Fight: Alien Blood]
[New Extraordinary Ability: Power of Battle (Stamina increase by 150%)]
[New skill…]
…
A new Variant Blood system had appeared.
Demon Fight…
But thinking of the opponent’s disgusting tumor-riddled body… Pei Jinye twitched the corner of his mouth.
“I need to synthesize Second Rank as soon as possible!”
Not long after.
Brother Bi and Zhou Ye also arrived.
One sliced apples; the other brought hot water.
Pei Jinye found it amusing and exasperating.
“I’ve just got some internal injuries, not broken arms and legs.”
But as soon as he sat up, Zhou Ye pushed him back down, “You’re an injured man now, rest well.”
Brother Bi kindly sliced the apple into pieces and offered them to Pei Jinye, “The team issued an emergency arrest order today because of this. It seems that the culprit is a member of a big organization outside, with quite a kill count. You’re incredibly lucky to have survived.”
“…”
Okay, Wen Renzhi did seem to have killed more than a few people.
But he relied on Stealth to ambush people; if it came to hand-to-hand combat… the man was quite fragile.
“Take care and rest.”
Pei Jinye waved his hand, watching Brother Bi and Zhou Ye leave.
Quietness settled again.
“Buzz buzz.”
The phone vibrated.
A message from Lin Xiawei: “I won’t come to see you. I’ve given you a three-day leave. Also, remember to sign for the delivery this afternoon, I bought you some supplements.”
“Thank you, senior sister,” he replied.
“…Hurry up and recover.”
…
The call ended.
Lin Xiawei watched from a distance as Brother Bi and Zhou Ye left the ward. She decided not to disturb Pei Jinye’s rest and turned to leave.
…
“What a long road ahead.”
“And the supplies for cultivation are running low too…”
Pei Jinye lay on the bed.
“Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns” gradually accelerated its operations.
The Blood Lotus faintly appeared… Vitality began to surge and Temper.
In an instant.
Night fell.
Pei Jinye quietly returned to his rented room.
He hadn’t seen the landlady for a while, but today, as he went upstairs, he ran into her daughter.
The little girl hesitated, looking at Pei Jinye. She remembered this person… their tenant.
It seemed he hadn’t been around for a while.
But still, she nodded politely as a greeting, then scampered into her room like a frightened rabbit.
Pei Jinye silently arrived at his rental’s door.
He knocked twice on the door with the secret code of the Old Gods Association.
Then, he used his key to unlock it.
The door barely opened to avoid being “spied” on by the peephole across the hall.
“Bang,” with the door closed,
Pei Jinye saw the television in the living room turned on, but the volume was low.
Little Red Luo, holding a fruit plate, was munching away and watching intently, completely oblivious to Pei Jinye’s arrival when a funny scene made her giggle and waggle her little feet.
Pei Jinye quietly shifted his gaze.
Silver Art, wearing an apron, was diligently cleaning.
“…”
“Demon King?”
Upon seeing Pei Jinye appear, Silver Art paused slightly.
Pei Jinye approached, “Have you guys been without tasks recently?”
Little Red Luo turned her head on the sofa to look at the two of them.
Silver Art hesitated before responding, “The Sand Flame Association has recently shifted location; we haven’t pinpointed their whereabouts yet.”
Pei Jinye nodded, “Can you get in touch with Lou Hai? I need to speak with him.”
“Demon King, take me with you,” Little Red Luo immediately turned away from the TV, looking at him, pleading.
“No,” he said flatly.
“Aw, please, I beg you. I want to come with you to see the world. Please, please, please.”
A shadow darted to Pei Jinye’s side, grabbing onto his leg and refusing to let go.
“…”
