The police sirens wailed, gunshots ran rampant.
Outside a residential building, it was already encircled tightly by countless police cars.
Over a dozen armed and burly detectives had arrived at the rooftop of this building, led by a statuesque and peerless female officer.
This officer was none other than the captain of the detectives, Qiu Ruoxue!
At this moment, she stared at a middle-aged man across from her, his eyes blood-red and his body faintly glowing with an ominous light. Anger that could not be suppressed was already showing between her eyebrows.
Beneath his feet was the body of a young woman, unmistakably having endured inhuman torment at the hands of the Murderer before her death.
"Heh heh, you got here quite fast."
Staring at the policemen gradually closing in on him, the Murderer’s face not only lacked the slightest bit of fear, but he even let out a bizarre chuckle.
His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Qiu Ruoxue’s graceful silhouette, revealing a near-pathological excitement.
"Good, very good! This time, I must make you the perfect sacrifice for my cultivation!"
The Murderer suddenly pointed at Qiu Ruoxue, stuck out his bloody tongue, licked his lips, and let out another sinister laugh.
"Who could have imagined that in this outing, I would gain such a harvest. After dealing with you ants, I’ll conveniently complete that commission’s task—indeed, killing two birds with one stone, haha..."
As he spoke, the Murderer could not help but laugh arrogantly once again.
In fact, the Murderer’s appearance was solely due to Mu Cheng’s previous commission to deal with Zhu Fei’s troublesome matter.
The murders he committed were merely an appetizer to the whole affair.
Originally, Mu Cheng had wanted to accompany them, but the Murderer had outright refused him.
According to the Murderer himself, he did not like having dead weight around during his actions.
Mu Cheng had no choice but to let it be.
At this moment, seeing the Murderer’s arrogant demeanor, Qiu Ruoxue and her people were all infuriated.
Qiu Ruoxue raised her hand without hesitation and fired a shot in the direction of the Murderer.
As expected, her ’precise’ shot was easily dodged by the Murderer.
They heard him continue with a bizarre laugh as a sudden dark light flashed in his hand, and his figure swiftly vanished from the spot.
While the policemen were on high alert, their expressions gravely serious.
Qiu Ruoxue suddenly felt a strong stench of blood coming from behind her!
Her heart surged with shock, and without much thought, she swiftly rolled on the spot.
The Murderer’s hand, glowing with dark light, narrowly missed her nose, brushing against the few hairs on her forehead.
This man was truly powerful!
Qiu Ruoxue was shocked in her heart.
In her previous encounter with Zhu Fei, he had not used his full strength, so she had never truly felt the terror of facing a Martial Artist.
But at this very moment, she understood that against this Murderer, she had absolutely no chance of winning.
Even though her skills had almost reached the early stages of a Martial Artist’s ’Light Power.’
Still, she was no match for the Murderer!
The sound of air splitting rang out again.
"Captain Qiu, get out of the way!"
In Qiu Ruoxue’s ears, the anxious shouts of the other officers suddenly resounded.
She also felt an unprecedented threat to her life, as if a sharp knife was about to pierce her heart.
But at this moment, Qiu Ruoxue’s consciousness was already too late to make any subconscious reactions.
All she could do was mechanically turn her head and watch helplessly as the Murderer’s face with a grim smirk got closer, with his hands that had killed countless people, slowly, gradually reaching for her back!
Is this the true strength of a Martial Artist?
Qiu Ruoxue slowly closed her eyes.
At this moment, countless vivid and yet overlooked scenes flashed through her mind.
Her childhood’s carefree days, her father’s sternness, her mother’s care, her grandfather’s indulgence, and the grief she felt when she learned that her parents had both sacrificed themselves on a mission, even the naive determination she had when she vowed to become a police officer...
One by one, scene by scene, happy or fortunate, warm or sad or distressed or desperate...
Everything in her life flashed by in an instant.
Is this what death feels like?
Well, with death, I wouldn’t have to be manipulated by others anymore.
With death, I wouldn’t have to accept that unwanted marriage arrangement.
Perhaps in death, I might see my parents again?
But I wonder, would they be saddened to see me when I join them below? Or feel something else?
While Qiu Ruoxue’s mind raced through these thoughts and just as the Murderer’s hand was about to pierce her heart,
Unnoticed by anyone present on the rooftop, a tall, handsome young man had coldly appeared amongst them!
As soon as he emerged, he raced straight toward the Murderer!
A long streak was pulled out right where he stood!
With just a single hand, he blocked the Murderer’s attack instantaneously, his voice coldly bursting out with a sentence.
"This time, you are undoubtedly going to die!"
