Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Li Xu rushed to the scene in a hurry.

At this moment, the battle was fierce.

Because the prediction was confirmed not to be based on Yu Ji.

Therefore, Yu Ji is no longer important.

Furthermore, He Li's situation was more complicated than anticipated...

At this moment, the swordsman and the knife-wielder had abandoned their attack on Yu Ji and the others and instead began to cooperate in besieging He Li. After all, He Li was the target they had to take down.

The rest of the people are unimportant.

However, He Li is too strong.

Its dodging ability is MAX, and its strength is terrifying.

They didn't dare to confront He Li directly.

This also meant that even with three people attacking him, they couldn't take down He Li quickly in a short period of time.

"Damn! This intelligence is terrible."

"What do you mean, this kid's just a brute with big strength..."

"And what happened? He had no weaknesses at all."

"Luckily, our cultivation level is much higher than his!"

"Otherwise, we'd probably be beaten to death by this kid by now, right?"

"Damn it, what do we do now?"

"We can't take this kid down yet. If we wait any longer, the Special Affairs Bureau's reinforcements will definitely arrive, and we're doomed... Or, should we just use that move?"

Amid the siege, the swordsman asked impatiently, as if the three of them were hiding some deadly move.

Chu Feng, who was usually the most talkative, fell silent.

She was probably discouraged by He Li.

Only the swordsman remained rational.

"Very well, success or failure hinges on this!"

Nodding slightly, the swordsman quickly retreated.

Dao Nan and Chu Feng abandoned their speed advantage in fighting He Li and instead risked getting close to launch an attack, seemingly trying to restrict He Li's movements.

However, He Li wasn't stupid.

He saw through their intentions at a glance.

His gaze remained fixed on the swordsman who was retreating into the distance...

As expected, the swordsman raised his sword, gathered his strength slightly, and then suddenly threw the sword out. At the same time, the knife-wielding man and Chu Feng each used their martial arts skills to fiercely attack and suppress He Li.

Buzz! Whoosh! !!

With a whooshing sound, the longsword, like a bullet, approached He Li's face in an instant, intending to kill him.

Fortunately, He Li had taken precautions.

He turned his head in time and narrowly avoided the attack.

The sword grazed his cheek.

"That was close!" Zhao Hu and his companion, who were watching the battle, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything was fine now. However, the three people on the other side smiled when they saw He Li and his companion relax.

Chu Feng grinned maliciously.

"You little rascal, you've got some skills!"

"Unfortunately... they still have to die at our hands!"

The swordsman was the same.

"Although the orders were to capture you alive, we have no choice but to take your body."

"Kid, you think you can die from this move..."

"You have every reason to be proud!"

"After all, my brother Jian's move is undefeated!"

Whoosh! Buzz!

As soon as the swordsman finished speaking, the sword that had just brushed past He Li suddenly turned around and increased its speed again, fiercely piercing He Li's heart from behind and returning to the swordsman's hand in the distance.

Instantly, the entire hall fell silent...

"Li...Li-ge!!!"

After a long while, Zhao Hu cried out in alarm.

Yu Ji, standing nearby, calmly frowned and asked, "What are you howling about?"

"He's fine!"

Huh? Zhao Hu was stunned when he heard this. He and the bewildered Zhou Xin subconsciously rubbed their eyes and looked at He Li, only to see that He Li, who had been pierced through the heart, was completely unharmed and there was no blood on his body.

"No, what's going on?"

Zhao Hu and his companion were both surprised and delighted.

The expressions of Chu Feng and the other two also changed from joy to panic...

"How is that possible? Brother Jian's flying sword clearly pierced his heart, how come he's unharmed?"

"This...this is absolutely unbelievable!!!"

"Damn it, how come this kid is so weird?"

"Damn it, what do we do now?"

"This...this kid is unkillable! This is inhuman! I've never seen anyone survive a sword piercing their heart unscathed!"

"You two, shut the fuck up!"

"Run! Run for your life!!!"

"We've fucking kicked a steel plate!!!"

After a brief moment of panic, the three men, who were completely helpless against the strange He Li, immediately turned and ran. They knew very well that if they couldn't kill He Li, they would be killed.

Now they can only escape while they are fast.

It's a pity they're only just getting started...

A red figure sped in from afar, instantly passing between the three.

The three of them stopped abruptly...

Then it fell straight to the ground and remained motionless.

They certainly didn't die.

They were just knocked unconscious. After all, they seemed to have been sent by someone. Leaving them alive and taking them back might allow us to find out who the real mastermind was.

As the three fell to the ground...

The attacker also turned around and spoke at this moment...

"I thought I could show off my skills in front of you guys when I got here."

"Who knew he'd just deliver the final blow?"

Hearing the sound, He Li looked up and saw Mu Lan putting away her six-section folding gun, putting on her glasses, and walking towards them with her previous capable and composed demeanor.

Seeing this, He Li couldn't help but ask, "That just now... was that the divine power that Sister Mu awakened?"

"Hmm, sonic method!"

Mu Lan nodded with a smile.

He Li was quite surprised.

After all, Mu Lanqiang's strength was beyond his expectations.

But thinking about it, it makes sense...

It should be noted that Mu Lan and Li Xu were originally sent as investigators to deal with the Mountain-Shaking Ants.

The Mountain-Shaking Locust possesses the strength of a hundred tons. Even in its pupa form, considering that the Mountain-Shaking Locust may emerge from its pupa at any time, how could an ordinary investigator with insufficient strength be sent there?

Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Therefore, Mu Lan and Li Xu must be formidable.

He Li hadn't had a chance to see them make a move before, so his estimate was a bit low.

And just as He was thinking about all this...

The others quickly gathered around as well.

Zhao Hu excitedly looked He Li up and down, and couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Li, you... how come you're alright? I clearly saw you get stabbed through the heart!"

"Oh, that's the ability to become ethereal."

He Li gave a simple response.

The ability to etherealize the Devourer of Wealth allows the user to pass through walls and evade attacks.

He Li just used this trick.

Previously, Yu Ji was not worried about He Li.

It was also because she knew He Li's abilities.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lan exclaimed in astonishment, "Truly extraordinary!"

"That's three abilities now, isn't it?"

"Using these abilities, you, a martial artist at the Opening Scripture Realm, can not only fight against three martial artists at the Opening Spirit Realm, but also gain the upper hand against martial artists with weak Profound Knowledge Realm abilities."

"Really... strong!"

Hearing this, He Li was puzzled.

"A Xuanzhi Realm ability? That sword technique?"

He recalled the sword that had ambushed him earlier.

"Yes!" Mu Lan nodded: "Once you gain spiritual awareness in the Profound Knowledge Realm, you can control objects remotely."

"Although the person wielding the sword was not at the Profound Knowledge Realm, he seemed to have an extraordinary talent and possessed a faint spiritual consciousness, which is why he was able to launch that backstab attack."

"An ordinary martial artist would surely die if he encountered this kind of person."

"Only you... he can't do anything about you."

"I see," He Li nodded.

Seeing this, Mu Lan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Speaking of which, is your predictive ability really that strong?"

"Can you accurately predict all their attacks?"

"No way!" He Li shook his head.

Then he casually pulled Yu Ji over.

"I do have some senses and predictions, but I can always accurately dodge attacks because of her cooperation. Although her synchronization method cannot synchronize multiple people, it can switch between them at extremely fast speeds."

"As long as she changes quickly enough..."

"I listened to her predictions through headphones, and combined with my senses and judgment, I was able to dodge perfectly."

Upon hearing this, Mu Lan looked at Yu Ji in surprise.

The latter seemed a little embarrassed by the stares.

Mu Lan turned around upon seeing this...

"Well, you've picked a gem."

"This ability will be very useful against the enemy!"

He Li said smugly, "I've always had a good eye."

"Alright, let's go back!" Mu Lan rolled her eyes. "You've caused quite a stir this time. Of course, handling such a big matter is a great achievement and you'll receive a substantial reward."

"Also, you need to be careful."

"Your performance this time will definitely attract the attention of those criminals hiding in the shadows."

"Guys like the one who tried to ambush you today..."

"There will probably be many more in the future!"

In fact, He Li had anticipated this.

After all, Mu Lan had warned him before.

Now that he's so high-profile, it's no wonder that those criminals who are hostile to the Special Bureau are targeting him. But He Li actually hopes that all those guys will come looking for him.

That way he can earn merit quickly.

Of course, He Li didn't voice this thought aloud.

If I say it out loud, I'll definitely get nagged.

He silently nodded and got into the car, taking the three unconscious martial artists with him to the Special Bureau.

Shortly after they left...

Li Xu arrived late.

"No, where are they???"

"It's over? They're all gone? Holy crap, you guys with your 'Sky Eye' just wanted to laugh at me without warning, huh?"

Scanning the empty highway...

Li Xu couldn't help but raise his hand and give the middle finger to the sky!
