"That's the place, master."

Staring at the night club across the street, Lavda stood beside him whilst a crow perched on Yunzheng's shoulder. With a frown, Yunzheng saw the bodyguards at the entrance. Though they seemed nonchalant, the subtle gesture they made told Yunzheng that all of them were trained warriors. A rare sight for all this time, Yunzheng had never seen veterans well versed in combat arts.

But this was the right time to undergo another test for his newest companion.

"Lavda," Yunzheng called out, turning his head to the elf who in return, gazed back in puzzled look, "Do you see those people?"

Still bewildered, the elf nodded. Smiling, Yunzheng put his hand on Lavda's shoulder and spoke, "We are going to the front entrance and do this with a bang. Are you ready?"

Another confused stare and yet, one of the elf's hands was already gripping his sword. With a chuckle, Yunzheng strode forward, dragging the elf along as he muttered, "Your familiars will oversee the area and s

    His grip on his sword tightened, Yunzheng raised his vigilance and tried to open the door. It was locked and didn't budge, but with a single kick from him, the door flew backwards and the smell of blood mixed with something rotten flooded out of the room.It was a complete darkness inside and somehow, Yunzheng could feel a gaze fall upon him. The same feelings he felt when he encountered his first demonic beast in the cultivation world. 'They had something like this below the club?' Entering the place, Yunzheng looked around and spotted furniture and sort. The interior of the room itself seemed to be a house and he was in the living room section in this vast chamber. If there was light to shine in this place, perhaps Yunzheng would stumble upon a comfy place hidden beneath the building. A shelter might be the word to describe the room. Yet, the scattered limbs of humans that his shoes had stepped on or kicked on the way of his steps make him imagine this more of a slaughterhouse.

    Dragging his battered self, Yunzheng finally managed to get out of the stairs and find Gilbert and Lavda already waiting outside. Beside them was a group of people sitting down and tied up. All of their mouths were gagged and a few of them were bleeding nonstop. "Master!" the first to shout and realize how badly shaped Yunzheng was Gilbert. When the cat rushed to the approaching Yunzheng, he saw the still gaping wound on both of his waist. "Quickly, bring a few of them here." commanded Yunzheng as sweats trickled down from his forehead. A humanoid monster with the head of a goat and a pair of legs of hooves strode forward while grabbing the bleeding people. Turning his gaze to Gilbert, the latter nodded his head and spoke, "It's my summoned being, master."'So my summons could summon other creatures too…' learning about this new fact, Yunzheng kneeled and reached for the throat of the already pale and unconscious man. When he used the absorption technique, the life force that surge

While he felt the new-found strength coursing through his entire body, he felt everything became more clearer and his presence had been incorporated into the world itself. As if a butterfly coming out of his cocoon, he felt he was reborn. "Master… you…" Apparently, even Gilbert could sense the change in Yunzheng and Lavda showed rare expressions of intrigue and surprise. Despite his status telling him that the increase in his energy wasn't earth shaking, Yunzheng knew better that his Qi was now consolidated and more compressed, achiev

    It has been a couple days since the night in that club and Yunzheng was leaning on his chair, reading through the texts on the papers had confiscated from that place. Some of them were certificates, contracts dealings, and blackmail materials about dirty reports on some businessmen. They were of little value to Yunzheng so he put them aside for now. However, one stack of papers intrigued him. It told the current struggles and information about other criminal gangs, along with their line of business. Despite things in comic books like heroes had appeared in real life, the underworld society and their strong protectors were just as rampant as the old world before the apocalypse or the invasion. Drug transactions, human trafficking, forced prostitution, weapon smuggling, and so on. There was even a job about smuggling and robbing the materials of the alien bugs that was under the direction of the Hunter Association, a government department that solely focused on gathering resources on

    "So it doesn't work, huh."Twirling her pen, Chen Yue murmured out loud whilst her colleague in front of her was devouring his sandwiches in a gusto until he finally commented, "Perhaps he already went to another, bigger district. There's no way he would still linger on some small towns near the Bellhook forest.""I thought we would at least catch his sight." said Chen Yue as she clicked her tongue, "I have a hunch that he should be in this area somewhere. This place wasn't far from the town where he destroyed the club and not to mention, Bellhook forest is a good place where many criminal went into hiding.""But it's not some old movie where someone could go to the jungle to escape. We have patrolled in the woods and to bypass the guards stationed between the forest and the towns, someone needs to be both super fast and invisible. Even teleporters would have limits unless you are an A rank or above. Those in that level would only need to seek asylum in the Scarlet Syndicate."Furrowi

    Stabbing into the heart of the man before him, Yunzheng's other hand already grabbed at the neck as he felt the warmth flowing into him. As his legs swung around in panic, the once strong man had his flesh shrunk considerably until skin and bone. He threw the body away and wiped his blade with a piece of cloth torn from his latest opponent. The word opponent hardly suits the situation for it was more of a massacre. This base was lacking in both strong guards and weaponry. Yunzheng snorted and strode to the big table at the corner of the messy room. A lot of furniture and machinery had been toppled over in this scuffle and Yunzheng almost had nothing to do when Gilbert and Lavda were enough to deal with these ordinary thugs. Variety of drugs in plastic and pancakes, along with boxes upon boxes filled with them were scattered all over the place. Each gram would cost many credits and one box would give him a fortune if he wished to grab them for himself. Yet, he didn't even spare the

    Pool of blood drenched the whole area and when Yunzheng absorbed the last super as much as he could, he threw the corpse away and grumbled, "They almost had us."Before him were both Lavda and Gilbert whose bodies were riddled with injuries. Though those wounds were light, Yunzheng still felt concerned and since no-one had the ability to heal, Yunzheng had to share his pills to both of them. At first, Gilbert refused while only Lavda took it without much thought and swallowed it whole. But because Yunzheng kept insisting for Gilbert to take one, the cat showed helpless gestures and followed along with his master's command. "It would take more than these to overwhelm us, master. We were careless and the battlefield was unfavorable for us." commented the cat until he glanced at Lavda with a meaningful gaze. Yunzheng shook his head and said, "That's why I said they almost got us. If they blow this whole place down, I'm afraid, we won't get out of it with just a few scratches."The tim

    When Wang Mei strode with Chen Yue at the alleyway of distinct 225, both girls quickened their pace until they were at the end and saw the collapsing wall and broken door opening wide."The Super Villains just came from here." uttered Chen Yue with certainty while she sent an apologetic look at Wang Mei, "Sorry, Mei. I thought I was fast enough to figure out his objective but we were one step too late."Shaking her head, Wang Mei replied, "It's fine. Judging by the wreckage, the battle must be very recent. He might still be in the town." Speaking at this point, Wang Mei bit her lips as she realized that although this district was still considered a town, but compared to the small towns from before, it was double in size and they would need the help of local police, who were commanded by someone that was even one rank above Chen Yue. As if she felt her friend's thoughts, Chen Yue smiled, "don't worry, I'll try to get help. Besides, I'm not alone in this case. They even assigned a B ra

    As his breathing started to calm down, Yunzheng's leaned body rose and his eyes narrowed. Half of his clothes were soaked by the blood of his own and others. Though the flesh mend and strength surged, exhaustion nagged at the back of his mind. Aching in a slow rhythm whilst he gripped his fists. It was a sign of overusing his body without a proper technique. Despite his wounds being reconstructed, he could feel that something was wrong and the Blood Nourishing pills could only do so much. He needs proper treatment or to absorb more prey soon but for now, he will grit his teeth, continue his search, and finish this mission. As he marched on, Yunzheng found the lack of presence nearby. Although he should be on the way to the section where it should be most guarded, he didn't see any cannon fodders, not to mention supers. Finally, his path led him into a dead end. Raising his eyebrows, Yunzheng simply executed his fist technique and tried to break down the walls. To his surprise, alt

    Half an hour after he barged through the mansion and wreaked havoc by himself, Yunzheng gained a considerable amount of energy as his cultivation almost reached its peak. Sometimes, he would spot other guardians that would fight in a group or two but Yunzheng immediately ignored them and went for another location. As he progressed forward, the notifications about Gilbert gaining more levels appeared in his view, causing him to smile a little even in the middle of battle. So far, what he had faced was supers that were either around rank C and B, with most seemed to be in the rank D but their ability was more diverse and unsuited for combat, such as wall climbing, tougher bones, spurting inks out of their hands. While getting closer to the main location of the raid, Yunzhenh also saw more B and A rank supers. If before there were only a couple or so of them, now it has turned into a group of ten. He had to even use his formation flags to fight and even ground with them. Fortunately,

    When Wang Mei and the rest finally arrived inside the mansion, some of them widened their eyes at the big pool of blood and guts decorating the place. One of them even murmured the word crazy and truthfully, Wang Mei had to agree. They were supposed to capture these criminals, no matter how heinous their actions were. Yet, one person turned this battlefield into a bloodbath. The scene was disheartening to see. Rumors of Yunzheng's ability or martial arts were heavily linked into something like a vampire or Dracula spread around, especially when there was a strange corpse of a super in the courtyard. Wang Mei commented nothing on the matter and kept marching on. There would be a group of people that would deal with this mess or aftermath. "Wait, there's a kid!"That shout caught half of the guardians attention as they approached to see the situation. A little girl, who seemed to not be older than sixteen, was lying on the ground in a ball. Clutching her stomach as she closed her eye

    As his sword swiftly cleaved through the mobs, a gigantic statue was thrown to him, prompting him to execute his movement technique and avoiding it entirely. The ground shook and the statue crushed some of the mobs. Emerging from the cloud of dust were a few guardians, suffering no injuries except some tears on their clothes. A loud snort echoed throughout the vast courtyard and a giant shadow loomed over the battlefield. At the same time, hundreds of clones with the same face were shooting back bullets towards the guardians, as if they were facing an army instead of a criminal organization."It's an A rank, duplication skill, Xen Wu. Find his real body and kill him!"A guardian shouted out as he conjured a transparent wall, making the bullets passing through them to become as slow as snails. Meanwhile, another Guardian rushed forward, both of his hands morphed into one and half meters steel claws and sliced through the clones and the bullets. Giant vines and branches sprouting out

    "So, we have our own positions and since your ability suits you in the front line, I will suggest for you to think twice before rushing in and being reckless. This is the map of the place that the association had gotten for us. This would be a nice, quick, and smooth operation, so mistakes wouldn't be acceptable."The more he heard the man called Chou Wen rambling on, the more Yunzheng couldn't help but to raise his eyebrows in amusement. It was as obvious as the day that this new colleague of his was trying to show his dominance in seniority. Strangely, he tried to focus his attention to Yunzheng but there were instances when the man would secretly take a peek at Wang Mei who was sitting quietly at the corner, watching the passing scenery in the window. Gilbert, who was sitting one his side, was gazing at Chou Wen too, seemingly as aware as Yunzheng was. Even Wang Mei herself didn't spare a glance at the man, pretending to not care or hear anything. Only Lavda was still looking arou

    A scorching pain followed him in every step he took. His ragged breath formed into icy mist and his body shriveled at the faintest breeze. Strength leaving him as time passed and the roaring of his stomach was what echoed the most throughout the road. He had lost the sensation of his legs for a while. Even maintaining his open eyes gave him an effort he never knew existed. The only fuel that prompted him forward was the faces of his family back home. One and only wish he held dear, to come back and to not become a cold corpse in a foreign land he never heard of. When he rubbed his hand to seek for the slightest warmth, he saw the frostbite fingers.he wanted to chuckle but instead turned into a soft whimper that escaped his lips. Despite this, he trod forward. Never looking back. Minutes stretched into eternity and his own flesh felt more of irons and steel to shackle him to the ground. For who knows how long, his feet hit a rough staircase and the big wooden door with a board on t

    When Wang Mei walked to the lift that led her to Kim YoSoo's office, she couldn't help but frown and wondered what kind of matter it would be since usually, Chou Wen would be the chosen one to attend the briefings. Finally, she got there and greeted An Shen who said, "They are already waiting for you inside."The word 'they' caused Wang Mei to raise her eyebrows before she excused herself. She knocked a few times until there was a reply. When she turned the doorknob and was about to enter, she noticed a man's face who made her rooted on the spot. "It's you!" subconsciously, she cried out as her eyes widened. As the people in the room heard her voice, they directed their attention to her, especially the man who simply smiled at her bewildered look. "We meet again, miss Wang Mei." Yunzheng said his clothes were different from the white long sleeved ones that he wore in his confinement. This time, he wore a blue polo and long black pants, along with a red jacket. "No need to be alarm

    "Knowledge?" furrowing, Yunzheng probed, "What do you mean?""Just like what I've said. But of course, I would give more than just one month of freedom. I will give you resources, clean your criminal record, payment, and more. "Hearing the conditions, Yunzheng became more concerned. "I want you to teach us the way to cultivate."His ominous feeling took form when those words fell. Subconsciously, Yunzheng's gaze became colder and there was even a trace of killing intent within. It wasn't known if Kim YoSoo noticed the change, however, he shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Do you know how I know this? Well, we have inspected your equipment, especially your pills, and I have to say, the effect is quite… extraordinary."Yunzheng snorted at those statements. The thief saw his products and wanted for more. If not for these shackles, perhaps he already rushed to kick the man's face. Still, Yunzheng wanted to humor the man's words and spoke sarcastically, "And why do you think I would

    "We have met before." pointed Yunzheng as he raised his eyebrows, "Back then, you tried to help me with those thugs. Though it was unnecessary, I appreciate your help."Nodding her head, she said, "I don't know that you have power before, I apologize for being busybody." parting her bangs, she continued, "I'll get straight to the point, mister Tan. You are under arrest because of your involvement in destroying others properties, murder, and robbery.""It seems so." uttered Yunzheng without even trying to deny the accusation, "So, what now?""You can help us and we can help you. I propose a trade."His interest piqued, he said, "Go on…""We want information, mister Tan, and perhaps I could try to convince my superiors-""Convince?" frowning, Yunzheng shook his head, "If you cannot uphold something that you cannot give, then forget it.""But-""However, I will propose something else." looking at the girl, he spoke, "I would say anything you guys wanted in exchange for my and my companio
