Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

Lu Jingyan stood still, without even blinking.

The longsword, gleaming with a cold light, came to a stop just short of his nose.

It wasn't that Lin Dong took pity on him and stopped, but rather that his seemingly earth-shattering sword strike actually hit the stainless steel riot shield standing next to him.

The piercing metallic scraping sound made my teeth ache.

Lu Jingyan only took half a step to the left, and the special police behind him immediately raised their shields to block, neutralizing the "Bajiquan genius's" fatal blow.

"An unknown person?"

Lu Jingyan pushed up his glasses and looked at Lin Dong, who was stuck on the shield, looking caught in a dilemma.

"My name is Lu Jingyan, and I am a civil servant with a permanent position."

"You can't even break through a riot shield, yet you dare ask me my name on the street?"

A few bursts of barely suppressed laughter erupted around them.

Lin Dong's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

Humiliation! This is the ultimate humiliation for his twenty years of arduous training in ancient martial arts!

He abruptly withdrew his longsword, slammed his toes against the shield, and used the recoil to launch himself into the air.

Since we can't gain an advantage through brute force, let's show these ordinary folks what true, unparalleled lightness skill is all about!

"Lu Jingyan, don't be too smug!"

Lin Dong performed a somersault in mid-air and landed lightly on the edge of the glass exterior wall on the second floor of the nearby IFC.

He pushed off with his toes again, and with a "whoosh," he shot up like an arrow, soaring upwards along the almost vertical glass curtain wall!

Under the neon lights, his figure truly possessed an ethereal quality reminiscent of a martial arts drama character who leaves no trace in the snow.

"Holy crap! Did the wire break?"

"Newton must be turning in his grave! He was practically flying across rooftops!"

The passersby hiding outside the cordon went wild, raising their phones to frantically take pictures of Lin Dong in mid-air.

Hearing the gasps of surprise from below, Lin Dong felt his vanity greatly satisfied.

He deliberately showed off by using the outdoor GG sign on the third floor as leverage to push off.

"Click—"

The enormous impact shattered the GG brand LED screen, and a large, heavy shard of glass mixed with wall plaster crashed down from a height of over ten meters!

"Bang!"

The debris hit a shared bicycle parked on the side of the road, instantly smashing the seat to pieces.

Screams erupted, and the crowd below scattered in panic like headless flies.

"Hahahaha! Mortals, tremble!"

Lin Dong stood on the fifth-floor windowsill, his long sword pointing straight at the night sky, laughing arrogantly, "Lu Jingyan! Come and get me if you dare!"

He thought Lu Jingyan would be furious and incompetent.

But Lu Jingyan did not.

He simply stared calmly at the shard of glass that had smashed the bicycle, then glanced at the panicked crowd, his gaze instantly turning to ice.

"Zhao Tiezhu, give me the megaphone."

Lu Jingyan took the high-powered megaphone and pressed the switch.

The piercing sound of electricity instantly drowned out the noise in the room.

"Mr. Lin Dong upstairs, please stop your performance."

Lu Jingyan's voice was calm, indifferent, and carried an unquestionable authority.

"Your current behavior is not only devoid of any aesthetic appeal, but also extremely vile."

According to Article 291-2 of my country's Criminal Law, anyone who throws objects from a building or other high-rise building, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than one year, criminal detention, or public surveillance.

"The wall plaster and glass you just stepped on have already constituted the crime of throwing objects from a high-rise building."

"Furthermore, you damaged the GG sign in the mall, which constitutes the crime of intentional damage to property."

"Most importantly, you have caused panic among the crowd below, which could easily lead to a large-scale stampede."

Lu Jingyan held up a megaphone and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"I hereby formally order you to immediately return the way you came and turn yourself in!"

Standing on the fifth floor, listening to the legal education coming from below, Lin Dong almost lost his internal energy and went into qi deviation.

Objects thrown from a high-rise building?

He is a disciple of the Bajiquan sect, and he is using the long-lost "Ladder Cloud Leap"!

How did it become "uncivilized littering" in the mouth of this policeman?

"Nonsense!"

Lin Dong was so angry that he cursed, "This is my lightness skill! It's a unique technique! What do you know about martial arts?!"

After saying that, in order to prove himself, he mustered his courage again and jumped towards a higher floor.

He refused to believe that these cops could grow wings and fly up to catch him.

As long as he stays in that position, isn't this so-called light of the rule of law just a joke that can only be used for impotent rage from below?

"Captain Lu, this son of a bitch won't listen to advice."

Watching Lin Dong climb higher and higher, Zhao Tiezhu wrung his hands anxiously. "Should I take a few brothers and sneak up the stairs?"

"Too slow."

Lu Jingyan casually handed the megaphone to Zhao Tiezhu.

"Climbing stairs to capture wild animals that like to climb to higher places is not efficient."

He took out his phone and skillfully dialed a number.

"Hello, is this the fire command center? This is Lu Jingyan from the special investigation team."

"At the central square of Taikoo Li shopping street, someone attempted suicide... no, someone was performing a high-risk acrobatic act and refused to cooperate with the police."

Lu Jingyan looked up at Lin Dong, who was hanging like a monkey on the glass exterior wall of the seventh floor, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Please send two top-of-the-line ladder trucks over."

"Yes, bring the high-pressure water gun too."

"This 'hero' has too much of a temper. Let's give him a bath to cool him down."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingyan stood still, waiting quietly.

Less than five minutes had passed.

"Hurrah—Hurrah—"

The deafening sound of fire sirens grew louder as they approached.

Two enormous red fire trucks, like two steel behemoths, roared into the plaza and came to a steady stop in front of the IFC building.

"The fire brigade has arrived! Captain Lu, give the orders!" The fire chief leading the team jumped out of the vehicle and acted swiftly.

Lu Jingyan pointed to Lin Dong, who was hanging on the seventh floor, looking down with a bewildered expression.

"Please invite him down."

"clear!"

The ladders of the two fire trucks sprang up instantly, and the huge mechanical arms, accompanied by a whooshing sound, rushed straight to the seventh floor.

Lin Dong panicked.

He looked at the two enormous creatures reaching towards him, and his proud lightness skill seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

What the hell is this hidden weapon?

It can even grow automatically?

"Turn on the water valve!"

At the fire chief's command, two huge high-pressure water cannons instantly sprayed out two thick jets of water!

The water pressure reached tens of kilograms, and with overwhelming force, it slammed heavily onto Lin Dong's body.

"ah--!"

Lin Dong let out a piercing scream.

His meager protective inner energy couldn't withstand the physical impact of the high-pressure water gun for even a second.

He was instantly pressed against the glass curtain wall by the water jet, his face distorted by the force of the water jet.

Forget about using any special techniques like the Cloud Ladder Leap; he can barely breathe right now.

The powerful water flow soaked him to the bone, and his handsome black training uniform clung tightly to his body, making him look utterly disheveled.

"My sword! My sword fell!"

Lin Dong struggled in the water column, watching in despair as his expensively crafted longsword fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

"Stop the water! Pick up the people!"

The water jet stopped abruptly.

Several firefighters took the opportunity to maneuver the ladder closer and pulled Lin Dong, who was sliding down like a dead dog, into the basket.

A spectacular "wall-climbing" show that shocked the entire city was ruthlessly brought to an end by two water pipes.

In the live stream, netizens were laughing so hard they could hardly breathe.

"What the hell is this high-pressure water gun for cooling?! Officer Lu's thought process is absolutely brilliant!"

Lin Dong: I thought my opponent would be a peerless swordsman, but I didn't expect it to be the fire brigade.

"Times have changed, my lord! Water escape techniques are all the rage now!"

The ladder slowly descended.

Lin Dong was tossed in front of Lu Jingyan by two firefighters like a chick.

He was soaked to the bone and shivering from the cold; there was no trace of the arrogance he had displayed just moments before, when he declared, "A single sword chills fourteen provinces."

"you……"

Lin Dong spat out a mouthful of dirty water, glaring at Lu Jingyan, tears welling in his eyes with humiliation. "You won unfairly! You used underhanded tricks!"

Lu Jingyan squatted down and snapped a pair of cold silver bracelets onto his wrist.

"Strange tricks and ingenious techniques?"

Lu Jingyan smiled faintly, "This is called a modern urban comprehensive governance system. Learn something, you legal ignoramus."

Beside him, Xiao Chen, another inheritor of ancient martial arts who had been watching coldly, had an extremely ugly expression.

Lin Dong was arrested; he should have been happy.

But Lu Jingyan's almost humiliating method of arrest made him feel a deep sense of crisis and shame.

The dignity of ancient martial arts families must not be trampled on by these ordinary people in uniform!

A murderous glint flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes as he fixed his gaze on a young traffic policeman who was dispersing the crowd nearby.

He was an ordinary person who was completely unprepared.

"Since you don't follow the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xiao Chen flashed forward like a ghost, rushing towards the traffic policeman. He brought two fingers together and aimed them straight at the man's vital point in the back.

"Pressure strike technique!"

He wanted to use this note as a hostage to make Lu Jingyan hesitate to act!

Hearing the rustle of wind, Lu Jingyan turned his head sharply, his pupils shrinking.

"Xiao Chen! How dare you assault a police officer?!"
