CHAPTER 377: CHAPTER 365 UNLOCK HIGHER-LEVEL PERMISSIONS! (SEEK SUBSCRIPTION)

"And then?"

"And then, right in front of everyone, that martial artist called over someone from the Anshan City Martial Arts Association, used a saber to slice open the meat of the Frenzied Bull King, and then disappeared. Does anyone know where he went afterward? Is he still in Anshan City?"

"Killed the Frenzied Bull King alone? He indeed possesses the power to kill Zou Xuan and the others."

Xiang Long squinted his eyes.

Such an ordinary Commander-level Fierce Beast, he could easily kill as well.

Even high-level Commander-level Fierce Beasts, he could manage.

If it’s a top-level Commander-level Fierce Beast, it would be challenging, because they have intelligence and their attack methods become complex, not only relying on claws and fangs.

Even if he happened to kill one, he would likely be severely injured, perhaps even dead.

"Yes, Brother Xiang, speaking of which, this person is highly suspicious.

Firstly, he is a martial artist, obviously studying various martial arts. He wields a saber, likely proficient in saber techniques. Secondly, his power is immense, enough to kill a Commander-level Fierce Beast alone.

Moreover, his timing of appearance is very coincidental; he had never appeared in Anshan City before it was in trouble, and then appeared right after. If he says it was unintentional, I think no one would believe him."

"Hmm."

Xiang Long nodded, "The only uncertainty is whether he practices spiritual-type martial arts. If he does, the possibility is even higher."

"Yes."

Li Yan sighed, "So after hearing these details, we are quite conflicted. Li Ping matches two out of three traits, but his power is only at C-level Awakener. Even if he broke through, it should be recent. Could he kill two B-level Awakeners who broke through long ago? It’s unbelievable.

The martial artist from the Martial Arts Association meets the power criterion, but it’s unknown whether he meets the spiritual one."

"There’s no need to be conflicted."

Xiang Long coldly sneered, "Since both have suspicion, capture them all. The one who killed my good brother is definitely among them, one of them."

"Yes,." Li Yan nodded, thought for a moment, and quietly reminded, "Brother Xiang, Li Ping is easy to handle, but the martial artist might be more formidable."

"Formidable?"

Xiang Long sneered.

If that guy is formidable, does that mean he’s not?

Killing an ordinary Commander-level Fierce Beast is no big deal to him; he could do it too if he wanted.

However, to be safe, he decided to capture everyone.

"Rest assured, besides me, others will come too. Even if that guy had three heads and six arms, he wouldn’t escape."

"Brother Xiang, are you coming right now?"

Li Yan was shocked.

"Of course."

Xiang Long coldly sneered, "The longer the murderer lives, the bigger insult to me. Just wait there, and don’t alert him, got it?"

He suddenly thought of this.

If they alert the suspect, even flipping the Anshan City Awakened Association and the Martial Arts Association upside down wouldn’t help find him.

Although it would confirm the murderer’s identity.

But it would be futile.

"How could we?"

Hearing Xiang Long’s inquiries, Li Yan immediately responded, "We handled everything cleanly from start to finish, without others seeing. There’s no way we alerted him."

"Good."

Xiang Long nodded in satisfaction, "Then don’t act rashly. When I arrive, we’ll split into two groups; you take people to the Awakened Association to find Li Ping, and I’ll lead others to the Martial Arts Association to find the martial artist."

"Brother Xiang indeed is thoughtful." Li Yan smiled, "This way, no messages will leak, ensuring the true murderer doesn’t escape."

"Hmph, escape? Where could he run?" Xiang Long snorted, the corner of his mouth curling up confidently.

"Alright, that’s settled. We’ll discuss specifics when I arrive."

"Understood, rest assured, Brother Xiang, without your orders, we won’t act on our own."

"Hmm."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Zuo Hong couldn’t help but ask:

"Brother Li, the City Lord is coming over now?"

Wu Fei didn’t speak, but his eyes conveyed the same question.

"Yes."

Li Yan smiled slightly, put away his phone, and said, "Not only Brother Xiang, but other B-level Awakeners will come too."

"Coming together!"

Zuo Hong widened his eyes.

Is the City Lord mobilizing the whole army? Then, wouldn’t Anshan City be filled with over ten B-level Awakeners? The Anshan City Awakened Association probably has never seen such a scene before.

"It seems the City Lord is truly enraged this time." Wu Fei sighed.

"A dragon’s reverse scale, touch it, and you shall incur wrath."

Li Yan said lightly, "Brother Xiang owed his survival several times to Du Hao. Without Du Hao, there wouldn’t be today’s Jiulong City.

If the murderer only killed Zou Xuan and the others, there would still be room for negotiation. But to control Du Hao’s clone and kill him changes the situation to a fight to the death."

"Yes."

Wu Fei agreed deeply.

The murderer faces the fury of the entire Jiulong City!

"Can’t wait." Zuo Hong smirked, eyes filled with anticipation.

In his opinion, even without the City Lord personally intervening, the three of them present could capture the opponent alive.

But with the City Lord’s order, he dared not resist.

Mere speculation made it clear what would happen once the City Lord arrives.

How would the murderer react facing inevitable death? Beg for mercy? Deny to the end? Or continue futile struggles?

...

Juque City.

Zijin Garden Villa District.

The woman introducing the house handed Chen Fan the room card, while sending flirtatious glances, "Mr. Li, all procedures are completed. From now on, you are the owner of this villa. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact me."

Though the man before her looked average, his presence was extraordinary.

The most important thing was that he used points from the Awakened Association! His power must be immeasurable.

If she could align with him, her status would rise rapidly.

"Thank you."

Chen Fan nodded.

"It’s no trouble at all." The woman shook her head, shyly asking, "Mr. Li, do you need any help now?"

"No, you may go about your business."

Chen Fan’s tone remained calm as always.

"Alright, then."

The woman, slightly disappointed, bowed and left.

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

He was not foolish; he understood her implied suggestion.

He refused simply because he wasn’t interested, and any involvement would complicate matters unnecessarily.

After examining the villa for a moment, he stepped inside.

One part was to familiarize himself, and the other was to spend points.

Later, he would return to Anshan City for alchemy or find an abandoned city to hunt fierce beasts, collecting materials and gaining experience points.

"Should I continue hunting fierce beasts later?"

Chen Fan pondered.

After all, alchemy could be done at night.

Hunting fierce beasts is theoretically better at night due to their abundance, but the danger is evident.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall. Hunt fierce beasts by day, refine elixirs at night, and neither is wasted.

Moreover, his skill bar unlocked two new martial arts.

The Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill and the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

Two supreme martial arts, he could imagine the required experience points would be astronomical.

As Chen Fan entered the villa, fresh elegance greeted him. The interior decor differed entirely from Anshan City’s lavish villas, showing understated sophistication.

After a thorough inspection, he nodded in satisfaction.

He thought about moving his family here but reconsidered due to the unpredictability of any potential beast tide.

If he wasn’t around, his family, being ordinary, might be targeted.

If Anshan City couldn’t hold, he could escape with his family, but not others.

No choice; in the apocalypse, ensuring survival for oneself and family comes first.

Sitting in the living room, Chen Fan accessed the Awakened Association on his phone.

Points had risen from thousands to nearly 230,000, accumulating up to 280,000.

"Wonder what new items are available for purchase now."

His eyes showed anticipation.

He decided to check cultivation techniques first.

The choice was simple; he desired the Sun Observation Technique most.

No. 1, it was complete, unlike others, which were incomplete, unrepaired instantly even if unlocked.

No. 2, cultivating this technique would significantly boost his spiritual power, making experience required for enhancing martial arts realms less.

His finger tapped on the cultivation technique tab, sorting from high to low.

Instantaneously, he widened his eyes.
