Having said that, he glanced at Wang Yu beside him.
Wang Yu got the hint and immediately stepped forward a few paces, his eyes revealing a murderous intent.
The two Spiritual Perception Masters, using their clout to pressure, threatened lives as leverage, forcefully coercing Li Yi and Zheng Gong to abandon any thoughts of sharing in the spoils. If the two didn’t take the hint, it wouldn’t be out of the question to truly strike and kill the two investigators – after all, this was the Ruined District, where deaths left no evidence and investigations would find nothing.
At this moment, Zheng Gong sensed an unusual aura and his expression drastically changed. He instinctively took a step back, remembering the fate of Wang Jian, who also met his end in the Ruined District...
However, just then, Li Yi suddenly raised the sniper rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger without warning.
A specially designed bullet that was already chambered flew out in an instant.
The two Spiritual Realm masters immediately sensed the warning and felt a terrifying crisis approaching.
"Does this guy want to kill me?"
Du Mingfang’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he almost instinctively tried to dodge the bullet.
But it was too close.
Their group was too close, and he had never imagined that Li Yi would dare to take the first shot, let alone do it so suddenly.
Although he made a motion to dodge with his injured body, his reaction was too slow, and he was still hit.
As the gunshot thundered, Du Mingfang’s body was penetrated, instantly torn apart, and he fell to the ground, coughing up blood. Even with his strong life force, he only struggled for a moment before losing all breath.
This scene shocked everyone.
The three cultivators who were attempting to transport the corpse also froze in place for a moment.
A master of Spiritual Perception like Du Mingfang was dead?
Killed by Li Yi with a direct gunshot?
Zheng Gong also widened his eyes in shock, but amid his shock, he couldn’t help but admire Li Yi’s decisiveness.
Upon sensing the crisis, he launched a counterattack in an instant. If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t have had the courage to do so.
Li Yi’s gaze was cold and sharp at that moment, his eyes shining as he said, "You people are naturally evil. Not only do you not thank those who save you, but you even think about murdering witnesses. Since that’s the case, I’ll send you on your way first."
As he spoke, he again pulled the bolt of his rifle.
A red bullet was chambered into the gun.
"Good, very good. Since you’re courting death, I’ll grant your wish."
In that moment, Wang Yu became enraged. Supporting his injured body, he instantly charged out at an unbelievable speed.
The gunshot sounded again.
But Wang Yu was prepared this time. With his Spiritual Sense, he managed to predict the bullet’s trajectory before Li Yi pulled the trigger, and he successfully evaded the deadly shot with a timely body sway.
The next moment, he had already closed the gap.
Once in close combat, any cultivator in the inspiration realm would undoubtedly perish.
Wang Yu had no technique; he relied purely on his terrifying physical prowess as he swung a hook punch at Li Yi’s head.
The fist roared past, swift and fierce.
He thought the fight would be decided with one strike.
But suddenly, Wang Yu seemed to hear a thunderous explosion, and he saw the investigator’s fist tearing through the air, stirring up a white wave, which then collided with his own fist.
Li Yi’s Fist Power erupted, and Divine Power was unleashed.
Wang Yu’s face underwent a drastic change, feeling an incredibly powerful force surge from his arm. This force was peculiar, twisting into a strand capable of piercing the body, leaving one unable to defend against it.
After a single punch.
Wang Yu stumbled backward, retreating over a dozen steps before his old wounds erupted, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, and he helplessly slumped onto the ground.
"Boxing... You’re Li Yi from the Bureau of Investigation?" His face pale and fluctuating, he finally remembered something and recognized the man before him.
In Tianchang City’s cultivation circle, the emergence of a new set of Boxing Techniques was well-known to all.
As a member of the Cultivator Association, Wang Yu was naturally aware of this news and knew that the first owner of the boxing techniques was a newcomer named Li Yi. However, since Li Yi later joined the Bureau of Investigation, Wang Yu hadn’t paid much attention.
Li Yi remained silent, just expressionlessly raising the sniper rifle again.
With his Spiritual Sense activated, Wang Yu had complete control over everything around him. Without any hesitation, he flipped over to dodge immediately.
The spot where he had just been exploded with concrete, narrowly missing a bullet.
"Let’s all attack and take down these two investigators, or none of us will leave here alive."
Wang Yu roared, knowing very well at this point that there was no other choice but to fight to the death. Reconciliation was impossible.
Even if he were now willing to give up the Extraordinary Creature they had in hand, Li Yi wouldn’t let any of them go.
Yet, Wang Yu still didn’t regard Li Yi with much concern. How could a mere cultivator in the inspiration realm dare to oppose him, a master in the Spiritual Realm? Relying on that set of boxing techniques?
"Zheng Gong, take the sniper rifle and get out. I’ll handle these guys."
Li Yi’s expression was as usual. He had fought in many battles across the Four Seas and Eight Continents, carrying with him an invincible aura typical of a martial artist.
He tossed the sniper rifle to Zheng Gong, then covered his retreat from the encirclement.
Zheng Gong took the sniper rifle without a word and turned tail to run. He was well-aware that with his strength, staying there would only hinder them. If he could retreat to a safe distance and set up the sniper rifle, he might still be able to assist Li Yi.
