"What a domineering look!" As Ye Xiaolei watched Shen Qiang's departing figure, she said with joy and admiration in her eyes, "It's no wonder he's Senior Shen Qiang!"
Hearing this, Ali snorted coldly, "Ha, quite the braggart. In the Hua Xia Cultivation World, though the Jing Family is just a second-tier family, it ranks quite high. If it really came down to a fight, even a first-tier family wouldn't dare say they could definitely crush us."
"He, Shen Qiang, is merely at the Qi Condensation stage. Talking like that is simply idiotic."
Upon hearing Ali's mockery, Ye Xiaolei fell silent, a trace of worry flickering in her eyes.
Just then, Qian Shanxue interrupted coldly, "Ali, Shen Qiang is your comrade-in-arms, someone you can entrust your life to during missions, so you'd better recognize his value instead of denying him outright."
Ali smiled, "I'm not denying his medical skills; it's just that he's very arrogant, which I find a bit hard to swallow."
Qian Shanxue glanced coldly at her and, without a word, walked over to Jing Haotian's corpse, looking at his head with an expression full of shock, she chuckled lightly, "Truly a bold fellow indeed, to kill the young master of a family just like that."
"I bet this guy never imagined that Shen Qiang would kill him, even up to his last moment."
Ali walked over and, after a glance, said, "There are no signs of struggle. Jing Haotian was quite renowned in the Cultivation World, being at the Golden Core Late Stage. If he really wanted to fight, he might not have been defeated by Shen Qiang."
Qian Shanxue had a cold expression, "People differ from one another. Some are born with a temperament that stands above others, so sometimes what some lose is not their skills, but the courage to face those with a superior disposition."
"The difference between a sheep and a wolf?" Ali smiled.
"Review the scene!" commanded Qian Shanxue, "I need to know exactly what happened."
"No problem." Ali smiled, but as she surveyed the scene, she suddenly gasped.
Qian Shanxue frowned, "What's wrong?"
Ali looked at the driver in astonishment and exclaimed, "He punched the driver to death. And this man's cultivation was at the Golden Core Level, but he couldn't resist at all, and the car was in drive."
Turning her head to examine the Cultivator who lay outside the car door, head pierced, then noting the pattern of brain matter and blood splatter.
Ali, with a look of amazement, stood by the car door, continuously adjusting angles of her head, the eerie manner making Ye Xiaolei somewhat anxious.
"Ali is…"
"She's simulating the dead Cultivator's position," Qian Shanxue explained.
Ye Xiaolei exhaled in relief.
"Strange!" Ali, with a peculiar look in her eyes, stared at an empty spot ahead and said, "It's really strange. This Cultivator's cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Stage. Shen Qiang killed him from the front, but quite peculiarly, it seemed like he was unconsciously bowing his head when Shen Qiang struck."
Turning back to Qian Shanxue, Ali said strangely, "Colonel, this is very odd, illogical even. On the curb was a Nascent Soul, inside the car, two Golden Cores, and Shen Qiang, a mere Qi Condensation, came head-on and killed the Nascent Soul."
"The two Golden Core Cultivators inside the car, instead of trying to resist, chose to flee immediately, indicating they were gripped by fear."
"Senior Shen is indeed powerful!" Ye Xiaolei admired with sparkling eyes.
Qian Shanxue knitted her brows, recalling a scene from a previous mission. After a moment of silence, Qian Shanxue said, "Perhaps, they were simply unaware of Shen Qiang's strength and instinctively wanted to flee when faced with a sudden event."
"Is that likely?" Ali looked doubtful, "As a young master of a family, having undergone survival training from a young age and undoubtedly adept at assessing situations, Jing Haotian's panicked escape couldn't have been due to an unknown fear but a certainty in his heart that he couldn't win; otherwise, he wouldn't have refrained from resisting!"
"Makes sense," nodded Qian Shanxue.
Just then, the flashing police lights arrived.
"Xiaolei, show them your credentials, let them seal off the scene, and forbid anyone from approaching," Qian Shanxue instructed.
Ye Xiaolei was startled, then promptly went to meet them.
Meanwhile, Qian Shanxue, accompanied by Ali, headed towards 79 Hongchang Road.
Huh!
They reached the front of the seventy-ninth door.
Ali pinched a magic technique.
Standing at the doorway for a full three seconds, she suddenly sidestepped and entered the courtyard.
Her movement did not resemble that of a woman at all.
Once inside the courtyard, she looked up at the roof, peeped around the room a few times, and then quietly stood under the grape trellis.
If Shen Qiang were here at that moment, he would be astonished.
Because, at that time, Ali had almost exactly mimicked Shen Qiang's actions after he had entered.
However, what followed made Qian Shanxue somewhat puzzled.
Because she then sidestepped into the house and, afterwards, almost reproduced all of Shen Qiang's actions inside the house.
But strangely, the detail-oriented Qian Shanxue was surprised to find that throughout the process, Shen Qiang had almost no proactive offensive moves, and yet, bizarrely, two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and one Golden Core Stage cultivator were dead.
Beyond that, what delighted both of them more was finding the mother and child under the bed, both sound asleep, unharmed, and in no danger.
But to be on the safe side, Qian Shanxue still called an ambulance, and after the ambulance took them away, Ye Xiaolei, Ali, and Qian Shanxue stood in the room filled with the stench of blood.
"It's so strange, how did Shen Qiang kill them?" Ali, full of confusion, said, "They were strong, yet there were no signs of a struggle. Why? Did they come here specifically to die?"
Qian Shanxue said, "They came to kill someone."
And just then, Ye Xiaolei quietly reported.
"A body was found in the adjacent alley, confirmed to be one of the Jing Family's. He was severe with diarrhea and a runny nose when he was killed."
Ali and Qian Shanxue exchanged perplexed looks.
"Diarrhea, runny nose? Are you sure he was a cultivator?"
"Yes."
Hearing Ye Xiaolei's words, Ali's eyes immediately lit up. She turned and approached the corpse behind the door, shining a flashlight on it, then exclaimed in horror, "Colonel, come look, his mucus..."
Qian Shanxue's gaze turned icy, and he vanished in an instant, reappearing beside Ali about two seconds later. He said solemnly, "The guy on the roof is even worse."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaolei was stunned and quickly pulled out her camera, flipping through to the photos she had taken earlier beside Jing Haotian's business car.
"The fat man who was punched to death had a runny nose, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator with a pierced skull had a runny nose, Jing Haotian whose head was chopped off also had a runny nose." This discovery left Ali dumbfounded.
The completely baffled Ye Xiaolei said nervously, "Um... Sister Ali, do you mean to say that they were all killed by Senior Shen Qiang because they all had colds and felt unwell?"
"No!"
Ali blankly shook her head, then, horrified, looked at Qian Shanxue and shockingly said, "Colonel, I can now assert with certainty that my previous judgment was absolutely correct!"
"His danger level is S, Disaster Level!" Pale-faced Ali said with a trembling voice, "Because his ability truly is to control diseases!"
