Chapter 458
"Master, Master..."
Peng Qianwu stared blankly at the police and armed police who rushed into the martial arts school.
The disciples behind him all shouted excitedly.
"What are you doing? Stand back! If you keep making noise and obstructing official business, you'll be arrested!"
The armed police coldly rebuked them, saying that their superiors had repeatedly warned them that the people inside were dangerous.
Therefore, the armed police vehicles on the streets outside are all in place.
"May I ask what crime I committed?" Peng Qianwu asked, his arms hanging limply, looking just like a real fifty-year-old man.
"You are suspected of multiple murders; this is an arrest warrant."
Peng Qianwu's eyes flashed with relief upon seeing this. Although his Nine Dragons Combined technique was difficult to master, once mastered, it could kill without leaving a trace.
There were absolutely no fingerprints left; the heavy rain yesterday that killed Li Long had erased all traces.
Therefore, Peng Qianwu was certain that this was a report filed against him by an insider. So who was it?
The insider who knew he could combine nine dragons... Zhou Xiyu...
"Hehe, I'm your good junior brother, you're asking for death."
"Officer, may I speak to my apprentice?"
With the police captain's nod, Peng Qianwu looked at his handcuffs and laughed, "You guys take good care of the house. I'm just cooperating with the police investigation. I'll be back soon. We still have to go do some performances then."
The apprentice naturally didn't believe that his master could kill people in this day and age.
Peng Qianwu was just beating and scolding his disobedient apprentices. Which apprentice of an old craftsman didn't live by the rules?
He's definitely fine! The Nine Dragons Combined is beyond the comprehension of modern people. Among billions of people, only he knows this unique ancient martial arts qigong method. Mastering this method is extremely difficult.
Therefore, he has this confidence.

Inside the police interrogation room.
Peng Qianwu sat in his chair, looking at the empty interrogation room.
"I'm fine, I'm definitely fine... I left absolutely no evidence..."
Peng Qianwu kept telling himself that everything would be alright.
If the previous murders were to be discovered, they would have been found long ago. Why, of all times...?
and many more……
Peng Qianwu nervously clasped his hands together, staring at the clock hanging on the white wall. "Could it be that this traitorous bastard called the police before the fight? Impossible, he's never seen me kill anyone, he can't possibly think I would kill him."
next door.
Feng Yuxiu stood in his office, with the police chief sitting in front of him.
"Comrade, you're asking me to cooperate, but you've arrested people. If there's no evidence... this is going to be difficult."
Feng Yuxiu spoke up, "Commander, don't worry, this person is related to one of our missions. I believe my superiors have already informed you."
The police chief frowned. "Confidentiality? So what exactly do you intend to do?"
Feng Yuxiu turned to look at the door. "Chief, I need all of this suspect's clothes now."

Three hours later, Peng Qianwu continued to fall into doubt.
However, having reached his current state of mind, he has seen all kinds of storms and waves, and he is not intimidated by this silent interrogation.
creak.
The iron gate was opened, and Feng Yuxiu walked in alone.
Seeing a young man walk in without a police uniform, Peng Qianwu calmly stared at the wall.
Feng Yuxiu sat down and looked at Peng Qianwu, scrutinizing him for a long time before smiling and saying, "You and I are very similar; we're both the kind of people who will stop at nothing to achieve our goals. Such people are ruthless and have no weaknesses. But you're not so lucky."
Peng Qianwu remained silent, staring at what lay before him.
"Give me the Nine Dragons Union, and I'll let you go."
Peng Qianwu's face trembled violently, and a flicker of emotion finally appeared in his eyes.
"How would I know about the Nine Dragons United? I've heard of it and even seen it... I saw you and your disciple sparring last night... but the ending probably wasn't good."
Peng Qianwu remained silent and offered no evidence.
His "Nine Dragons United" murders are so egregious that no evidence can be found in modern times.
Without evidence, he has not committed any illegal or criminal act.
We must let him go when the time comes.
Feng Yuxiu looked at the man who was like an ice sculpture and suddenly smiled. He stood up, walked to Peng Qianwu, took out his mobile phone, and turned on the video.
At first, Peng Qianwu didn't care, but when he saw that the scene inside was a basketball court, he straightened up slightly.
His face trembled after he saw everything clearly in the video.
The video was not blurry or unclear despite the rainy night, and the person filming the video was less than ten meters away from them.
At such close range, his face was exceptionally clear.
"Doesn't it look like a science fiction movie? Look at the light around your disciple, doesn't it resemble a dragon?"
Peng Qianwu clenched his fists tightly. "This thing is beyond reason. Even if you announce it, no one will believe it! No one will believe that such an extraordinary technique exists!"
"Yes, the public will think it's pieced together... or maybe it's for a movie shoot... But what if I hand it over to the government? You know, the government is very interested in things that go beyond the norm... Do you think you'll be dissected and studied then?"
"This is even more interesting than aliens... You'll be studied to death..."
"You!" Peng Qianwu finally panicked.
He hadn't expected the person in front of him to be so ruthless, offering him absolutely no recourse.
The country's technical personnel can analyze whether the video is pieced together or has computer-generated special effects.
"What do you want?" Peng Qianwu asked through gritted teeth.
"If the nine dragons unite, I'll let you go."
"Impossible!" Peng Qianwu resolutely raised his head. "This is my lifeline; I can't give it to anyone!"
"It's the year 2000 now. Technology is developing, and times are progressing. Nobody wants to learn martial arts anymore. You're almost starving to death. In a few years, martial arts will only be a performance art. When you get old and can't perform anymore, won't it be lost? Come on, hand it over to me in exchange for your freedom. Otherwise, you can wait to be studied in your next life."
Peng Qianwu's whole body began to tremble.
This person's ability to know the time and place of his duel at such close range, and to mobilize public resources, means he is no longer someone that can be resisted by one person alone.
Once the state apparatus has decided on him, he has no choice but to accept his fate.
Feng Yuxiu approached Peng Qianwu step by step, lowering his voice, "You definitely won't escape this time, you're very unlucky."
Peng Qianwu suddenly relaxed his tense body, looked up at Feng Yuxiu, and said, "If I hand it over to you, and you still hand over the video, how can I trust you?"
"Do you have a choice? Ancient martial arts are like cockroaches lingering in the shadows now. You can't even beat those gangsters in Hong Kong. Nobody will fight you one-on-one anymore."
Looking at Feng Yuxiu's indifferent eyes, Peng Qianwu lowered his head. "In my closet at home, there's a pair of golden underwear."
“I’ve checked everything in your house, nothing there.” Feng Yuxiu’s eyes grew even colder.
"Inside the wardrobe's hidden compartment." Peng Qianwu completely let out a sigh.
Feng Yuxiu smiled and patted Peng Qianwu on the shoulder, "I thought you were going to put up a fight and give me a performance of 'I'd rather die than submit'."
“I hope you keep your word.” Peng Qianwu raised his head.
Since this young man in front of me knows about the Nine Dragons Union, he must be an expert.
He could only hope that Feng Yuxiu would keep the last remaining promise left by the older generation.
-
"He confessed?" The bureau chief asked, sipping his tea as he looked at Feng Yuxiu.
Feng Yuxiu smiled and said, "Commander, didn't you say it was a secret? This is a mission within our army."
"I hope you can send a few police officers with me; I need to find something."
The bureau chief stood up and left without looking back, saying, "Wang Bing, it's all yours now."
It is obvious that the director of a municipal public security bureau cannot be on equal footing with Feng Yuxiu, who has the rank of captain.
Wang Bing, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Public Security Bureau, stepped forward. "Comrade, I can also cooperate with you to complete the mission." Feng Yuxiu nodded. "Thank you for your help."
When the police car arrived at Peng Qianwu's residence, the disciples were still anxiously waiting for their master to arrive when the police knocked on the door.
Feng Yuxiu walked straight in, turned around and looked at the police officers, "Please wait a moment, everyone."
The police officers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Feng Yuxiu walked into the hall, looked at Peng Qianwu's wardrobe, stepped forward, opened it, and carefully knocked on each compartment.
Thump thump thump... spool...
The crisp sound made Feng Yuxiu smile, and he picked up a stool from the ground and smashed it through the partition.
Inside was a pair of golden-yellow underwear, which looked to be made of silk.
Feng Yuxiu picked it up and looked at it in the sunlight. It was engraved with characters, depicting various human postures and movement routes.
"Is this what they mean by the union of nine dragons?"
Feng Yuxiu stuffed his underwear into his clothes and walked out.
Having a status has its advantages; it makes getting close to martial arts masters much less troublesome.
If he didn't have this identity, it would have taken him a very long time to obtain Peng Qianwu's Nine Dragons Union.
After they left, the police officers didn't ask any further questions.
-
-
In the interrogation room.
Feng Yuxiu carefully inquired with Peng Qianwu about all the details and intricacies of the Nine Dragons Combined Cultivation.
After careful examination, he realized it wasn't some kind of wild, obsessive practice that could lead to madness, and then he smiled.
"Now can you let me go?" Peng Qianwu asked, looking up. At his age, he just wanted to live a peaceful and comfortable life by teaching martial arts.
Feng Yuxiu sat in his chair, staring at Peng Qianwu. "You're saying that only you in this world know this technique?"
"It's highly likely that this was passed down from the Republican era. Even if someone knew it before, they've all passed away by now. This is a unique copy, and no one knows it anymore."
Feng Yuxiu looked at Peng Qianwu with a strange expression. "No, there are others who know it. You do. And you no longer need this rare copy; you've memorized it all."
"so what?"
"What do you think?" Feng Yuxiu's gaze gradually calmed down.
Peng Qianwu's eyes widened suddenly, his voice trembling, "You...you don't want to kill me, do you? We're all insiders, I've told you everything, I hope you can uphold the last promise you made to the army!"
"Besides, if I suddenly die here, so many people will see it, even my apprentices will see it!"
"If I suddenly die, there will definitely be an autopsy!"
Peng Qianwu grew increasingly agitated, his gaze suddenly darkening, and behind him, a flow of energy appeared, with four transparent white dragon-shaped energy clusters seemingly surging about.
The chairs and tables around the interrogation room made a slight scraping sound as they rubbed against the floor.
They were all being dragged along by this force.
Feng Yuxiu's eyes were solemn. He stood up, turned around and left. "Don't worry, I will let you go. Besides, I'm not so stupid as to hand this over. If I am discovered to have used the Nine Dragons Combined Technique in the future, I will be dissected."
Such extraordinary ancient martial arts are rarer than giant pandas in this era.
Therefore, martial arts masters would generally not display extraordinary techniques in front of the public.
Most of them are just physical fitness and martial arts techniques, such as grappling and martial arts moves.
-
"Just like that?" Wang Bing looked at Feng Yuxiu in astonishment.
Feng Yuxiu nodded. "Release him. Please don't ask why. It's a confidential mission."
"Alright, alright, you guys decide, we'll fully cooperate."
Wang Bing nodded and looked at the police officer beside him, "Release them."
Feng Yuxiu turned and left, his gaze turning icy as he walked out of the police station.
He was worried...
There are still two people... two and a half people who know about the Nine Dragons Union.
One was Peng Qianwu, the other was Zhou Xiyu and his apprentice.
These two half-humans...
However, having just met Peng Qianwu, if he were to die, he would definitely be the first suspect.
No matter how much he explained to the captain that it was a mission and asked for his cooperation, he couldn't get rid of him anymore.
Feng Yuxiu took a taxi back to the dojo.
Neither Zhou Xiyu nor his apprentices saw him interact with him.
“Master, that person is here and standing at the door. Do you think he’s here to deliver money?” Wang Jianguo peeked through the crack in the door and called inside.
The next second, Zhou Xiyu ran over and stood at the door, looking down at Feng Yuxiu on the hillside below.
"Then what? Then..."
His smile gradually faded, replaced by indifference and calm.
"You go in first, the backup chickens haven't been fed yet."
"Oh." Wang Jianguo turned and walked towards the backyard.
Zhou Xiyu stared at Feng Yuxiu, "It seems you've obtained my junior brother's Nine Dragons Union."
"You're in your early forties, while Peng Qianwu is over fifty..."
"In martial arts, seniority matters more than age. It seems you're not just a half-baked expert either."
Zhou Xiyu knew all too well what kind of look Feng Yuxiu had in his eyes; once he got something good, he wanted to kill anyone who had seen it.
The two of them stared at each other from above and below.
"Are you here to pay?" Zhou Xiyu finally broke the deadlock.
"Hmm, in a while."
After Feng Yuxiu finished speaking, he turned and left.
Zhou Xiyu definitely knows the Ape Strike Technique; he's not as kind and weak as he appears.
Even without using firearms, he might not be able to win even if he won all his matches.
We'll come back and clean up these uncertainties once the aftereffects have been repaired.
Zhou Xiyu stared at Feng Yuxiu descending the mountain, his face extremely grim. "How can he have such a murderous aura? Where did he get the chance to kill so many people in modern society? That murderous aura emanating from him..."
"My disciples, look, I'm going out for a bit!"
Zhou Xiyu went down the mountain, took a taxi, and headed straight for Peng Qianwu's residence.
When he got out of the car and ran to Peng Qianwu's door, he was relieved to see Peng Qianwu in the yard.
Peng Qianwu stared at Zhou Xiyu with icy, lifeless eyes. "Did you give him the message?"
Zhou Xiyu said sadly, "Junior brother, stop being so stubborn. This kind of powerful and invisible force is too easy to make people lose their minds."
Who can easily resist the power to kill others silently from a distance without being detected?
"I will settle accounts with you properly, and the losses will begin with you!" Peng Qianwu roared in fury.
“Junior brother, he already knows your method of killing. If another murder occurs... you will be the first suspect. Stop now.”
"I thought you wanted me to turn myself in? Just to stop what I did... do you think you could forgive me? When the hell did you start believing in the 'lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha' nonsense like a monk?"
Zhou Xiyu sighed, turned around, and left. He definitely couldn't convince Peng Qianwu.
However, there's good news: now that someone knows Peng Qianwu's methods of killing, he won't dare to continue killing experts anytime soon.
However… Zhou Xiyu felt a heavy weight in his heart. Compared to Peng Qianwu… that young man who suddenly appeared was the most terrifying.
He seemed to know everything about their sect.
We've located this place precisely.
"It really doesn't let people have any peace at all..."
