93: Chapter 93 The Police's Shock
On the other side, at the edge of the forest, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Several police teams arrived at the area where the battle had taken place the previous night.
Among them, the police team leader heading toward Xu Family Village was none other than Director Luo.
After receiving orders from his superiors, he had organized personnel overnight, managing to arrive at the battle site at dawn.
Their task was simple: clean up the traces of the battle and recover the bodies.
However, when Director Luo arrived at the scene and saw the bodies covering the ground, he couldn't help but gasp.
"W-what... what exactly happened here?"
A young officer couldn't help but vomit on the spot.
"Director Luo, h-how many people died here?"
The deputy following Director Luo turned pale.
"We... the body bags we brought, I'm afraid... I'm afraid they won't be enough."
"If they aren't enough, go back and get more!"
Director Luo took a deep breath and walked over to a body to crouch down.
He looked at the body; the chest was completely collapsed, and the spine protruded from the back.
Based on the shape of the collapsed chest, he immediately judged that this cultist had been struck in the chest by a single punch, killing them instantly.
And looking around, such bodies were everywhere.
"All killed in one blow."
Director Luo's voice was somewhat hoarse.
Before coming, his superiors had vaguely revealed some information to him.
So he knew that these cultists were all true Transcendents.
And now, there were at least a hundred bodies on the ground.
This meant that overnight, over a hundred Transcendents had died in their Pushan Town!
In the past, this was a number he wouldn't even dare to imagine.
But now, it was laid out right before his eyes.
"Who... who could it be?"
"To actually... actually kill so many Transcendents?"
Although Director Luo was shocked at how there could be so many cultists from the Pure World Society in Pushan Town...
...what shocked and intrigued him more was the fierce person who had killed these cultists.
From the situation at the scene, it wasn't hard to tell that this was a one-sided slaughter.
And the ones being slaughtered were these hundred-plus Pure World Society cultists.
"One against a hundred, and they're all Transcendents!"
Director Luo was shocked internally, "Could it be Shen Fei?"
The only person Director Luo could think of was Shen Fei.
After all, he had only ever met three Transcendents in total.
Shen Fei, Xu Yingying, and Xu Yan.
Xu Yan was the first one he ruled out.
Although he wasn't clear about Xu Yan's strength, he had probed Xu Yingying indirectly and knew that Xu Yan hadn't been a Transcendent for long.
Clearly, he did not possess the strength to unilaterally slaughter over a hundred Transcendents.
And Xu Yingying had already left Pushan Town, so it was even less likely to be her.
Plus, people from The Purifiers had previously borrowed a car from their police station.
Therefore, Director Luo guessed it was Shen Fei.
"A few of you, come over and help!"
Suddenly, a shout from the side caught Director Luo's attention.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a body with its head pierced by a blade, pinned to the side of the mountain.
Several police officers were gathered around, trying to work together to pull out the blade that was pinned into the corpse's head.
"I'll count to two, and we'll pull together!"
One of the officers shouted, and the others nodded, pulling simultaneously.
Finally, with the combined effort of four officers, the blade was successfully pulled out.
"Hiss—how much force would it take to shove the blade in like that?"
"You're such a rookie, aren't you? This blade was clearly thrown as a weapon."
It would have been better if he hadn't said that; once he did, it caused the officer from before to exclaim in shock.
"Geez, the Transcendent who killed this group of cultists is way too fierce!"
Director Luo was no longer paying attention to these things.
He looked into the distance along the mountain path and could vaguely see Xu Family Village at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing Xu Family Village, he couldn't help but think of Xu Yan and Xu Yingying.
Although his superiors required this mission to be kept confidential, Xu Yingying was his superior's superior, and considering the relationship between Xu Yan and Xu Yingying...
Director Luo hesitated for a moment, then decided to go to Xu Family Village to tell Xu Yan after he finished dealing with the matters here.
If for no other reason, at least it would allow Xu Yan to take some precautions.
...
On the other side, at Xu Yan's home.
Facing the morning light, Xu Yan finished practicing a set of fist techniques from the Five Mountains World-Suppressing Art and let out a long breath.
Having not slept all night, he felt no fatigue at all; rather, his spirit was even more full and vigorous.
With a slight movement of his mind, Xu Yan opened his Attribute Panel.
Name: Xu Yan
Age: 26
Strength: 3.5
Agility: 3.5
Spirit: 4
Constitution: 4
Skills mastered: ...Five Mountains World-Suppressing Art LV1 (47/200)
Assignable Attribute Points: 0.03
That's right; after one night, he had already increased his Spirit attribute to 4 points.
At the same time, the Five Mountains World-Suppressing Art had also been grinded to 47/200.
"At this rate, in two days, all attributes will be able to break through to 4 points."
"In 3 days, the Five Mountains World-Suppressing Art will be able to break through to LV2!"
Closing the panel, Xu Yan looked to the side at an empty vial of concentrated dragon marrow jade fluid, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Attributes are being grinded faster, but the consumption of secret medicine is also faster."
The dragon marrow jade fluid is an A-grade secret medicine; the energy it contains is fully five times that of the B-grade secret medicine, dragon blood bone-breaking soup!
But even so, with Xu Yan crazily grinding attributes during this period, he had still consumed an entire bottle of A-grade secret medicine.
"The remaining secret medicine should be enough for me to grind my attributes to 5 points."
Recalling that Xu Yingying had previously given him an exchange card for C-grade exotic beast meat.
But he had never had time to go to the city, so that card hadn't been used yet.
However, he wasn't in a hurry; anyway, Xu Yingying had said that the card could be used at any time.
"Let's wait until The Purifiers are done dealing with the Pure World Society matters."
Shaking his head, Xu Yan casually tossed the empty bottle of dragon marrow jade fluid to the side.
He took out a bottle of concentrated dragon blood bone-breaking soup and began to dilute it to replenish his energy.
These concentrated secret medicine stocks, regardless of grade, could always be diluted into 10 standard doses at a time.
To save time, Xu Yan diluted all 10 portions of the dragon blood bone-breaking soup at once according to the ratio.
After diluting it, Xu Yan drank an entire portion of the dragon blood bone-breaking soup in one go.
His current physical attributes were already capable of fully digesting the medicinal power of an entire portion of dragon blood bone-breaking soup.
After drinking the secret medicine, Xu Yan returned to the courtyard again and began to grind attributes.
At this moment, Lu Feng and Chen Zhen also walked out of the house one after another and saw Xu Yan practicing fist techniques in the courtyard.
A night had passed, and their injuries had basically stabilized under the dual effects of medicine and True Qi.
It was just that Chen Zhen was more severely injured, his complexion appearing somewhat pale, but basic movement was no longer a major issue.
The two naturally knew that Xu Yan had been practicing fist techniques all night; after all, as Second-order Martial Artists, they still possessed that much perception.
What puzzled them, however, was why Xu Yan only practiced fist techniques and did not perform breathing and meditation to condense True Qi.
Although they had doubts about this in their hearts, they didn't ask further.
