for Advance Chapter

 "I can only send out a dangerous-level apostle to test Xing's current strength."

  Xu Pengxuan thought about it and realized that Simon was right. He could never be too cautious when facing Xing. This time, he would let the brothers Kang Sheng and Kant take action to test the waters...

  He curled the corners of his mouth. After all, he couldn't let his dog just eat and do nothing.

  And neither of them saw that Shen Weiwei, who was sandwiched between them, bit her red lips and moaned softly, while her dark beautiful eyes suddenly flickered, rippling with a touch of floating light and brilliance, and then she raised her snow-white slender neck, took the initiative to put her arms around Xu Pengxuan's neck and gave him a sweet kiss.

  Two delicate hands intertwined, thumbs pressed lightly on the wrists, and a message was wirelessly transmitted through a transmitter buried shallowly beneath the skin...

  …

  Several hours passed in the detention room.

  Suddenly, there were footsteps and noises at the door, and then the iron door creaked and was pushed open by a snow-white and delicate little hand. I looked over and saw a slim figure walking in. Her police uniform was slim-fitting and curvy.

  It's that smart female police officer!

  She glanced at me, then took out the key chain and bit her red lips as she said, "I don't know what your relationship with him is. Since you have his ID on you, you must be on some urgent mission, right?"

  "he?"

  For a moment, I was confused. Is this certificate someone else's?

  But wasn't that given to me by Sister Zhiran? And it clearly had my name on it!

  But before I could figure it out, Lingxiu suddenly took my hand, held it tightly with her delicate hands, and a faint blush flashed across her fair face.

  "Go quickly. If you see him... give him my regards and tell him that the Ling sisters are very grateful for his help."

  "Who is he?" My mind was even more confused, and I could only agree in a daze. Maybe I recognized the wrong person, but it felt wrong. When I thought about this, a pain suddenly burst out from the depths of my mind, stopping me from investigating further.

  …

  The graceful and round buttocks sat on the bed which was still warm.

  She couldn't help but recall that four years ago, she had just graduated from the National Security Bureau's special agency and was then assigned to the police department. Her main responsibility was to monitor whether the police department was colluding with supernatural forces or committing serious corruption and dereliction of duty, but on the surface she was still an ordinary police officer.

  At that time, she and her sister Lingxuan were at home when thugs broke in. When she and her sister Lingxuan were about to be kidnapped... suddenly a young man appeared, subdued all the bad guys, and rescued the two sisters.

  At that time, in order to calm himself and his sister, he took out an ID and gave it to himself. Except for the difference in their appearance and even height, all other information was exactly the same, except that the military rank had changed from lieutenant to major.

  Later, she learned from the National Security Bureau that the young man who saved her was called "Xing" and was an NSA agent who solved the shocking kidnapping case at the time!

  From then on, she took him as her role model and even took the initiative to apply for a transfer to the criminal police team. Therefore, four years later, she went from being an ordinary undercover policewoman in the National Security Bureau to the captain of the criminal police team in the police station.

  As she thought about it, her eyes focused. She had already found out that the police chief seemed to be colluding with the drug gangs outside, but she had no evidence until today... She was completely sure that Chief Kant was probably also an undercover agent.

  But he was an undercover agent sent by the drug gang!

  The fact that he could hold such an important position as the police chief showed the problems within the police system. She quietly clenched her jade-white fists, and her well-trained body trembled with excitement.

  Senior Xing, please watch me. I will definitely be like you...

  …

  When I left the police station, I looked back at the huge national emblem under the night sky. I thought that after leaving the base in the mountains, I would be away from the disputes, but I didn't expect that in this short period of time after returning to Shen City, there would be constant disturbances.

  But I had to take care of this matter no matter what, because it put the person I cared about most in danger... I turned and left silently, but a sense of inexplicable excitement arose in my heart, as if a man's instinct to protect his beloved woman was awakening, causing some invisible shackles in my body to quietly burst open.

  Just like when I came, I scanned a shared bicycle and prepared to go back, but as I rode, the traffic on the street suddenly began to decrease.

  You know, it's the tail end of the rush hour after getting off work. How could the traffic on the street decrease for no reason?

  Combined with the previous experience, I immediately became alert.

  On the wide street, the traffic flow quickly decreased to an extremely sparse level, and finally there was not even a single car passing by. It became empty and looked extremely strange.

  I took a deep breath and found a place to lock the shared bicycle. The gloomy smile of Police Chief Kant flashed through my mind again. It was obvious that he should not only be related to Xu Pengxuan, but he might even have been directly involved in the last incident.

  Since he is related to Xu Pengxuan, I must find a way to deal with him... While thinking, I observed the streets becoming increasingly quiet.

  Suddenly, my eyes fixed on someone walking down the street.

  This person, wearing a knee-length windbreaker and a hood, seemed to look up at me, then suddenly leaned forward, his feet moving rapidly back and forth, quickly approaching a car. It was obvious that this was no ordinary person, but an extraordinary being!

  Is he Xu Pengxuan's man?

  This thought flashed through my mind, but I immediately shook my head slightly, because the man's running posture reminded me of the ninja from Shikishima, and perhaps he had other origins.

  In a flash, the man was already running to a place not far in front of me. Here he comes!

  I said this in my heart, and then without hesitation, I exerted my strength and pushed forward. Under the superb recoil force, I seemed to fly up and rushed forward like an arrow.

  "Swish...!"

  The wind was howling. When I was about to make contact, I saw that the man was wearing a windbreaker like the Assassin in Assassin's Creed, with a black mask covering his mouth and nose. At the same time, his eyes were flashing with a strange blood-red light.

  "bump!"

  The man stretched out his claws and came towards me. Under the neon lights, a faint blue light flashed. I was startled and dodged it in an incredible way. I used my strength to push him and knocked him several meters away. Only then did I see clearly that there were three sharp wrist blades sticking out from the back of his hands.

  The man flipped in the air, landed on his legs and one hand, and then rushed up again like an arrow. I met him fearlessly and used a technique from the Hua Jin technique, the "Xie" technique.

  Suddenly, there were continuous "bang, bang" sounds, and the ground seemed to be covered with a whirlwind, blowing up sand, dust and gravel. During the fight, I found that my opponent seemed to be simply physically very strong, especially the strength of his legs and arms, which was astonishingly great.

  And several times I used my energy to shock the most vulnerable parts of his arms, such as his wrists and elbows, but it was as if a piece of steel was concentrated. This immediately made me realize that the other party was actually an extraordinary person.

  And it should be the strengthening system among the extraordinary people. This is a simple yet powerful ability. While enhancing physical fitness to surpass ordinary people, it can also strengthen the body and make it have various levels of strengthening comparable to aluminum, copper, iron, steel, and diamond.

  Of course, the number of locations covered and the degree of enhancement vary depending on the level.

  The person in front of him had his limbs strengthened, which was probably at the iron level. He also had the legacy of an assassin, so he was definitely at the dangerous level. Moreover, he could destroy an entire tactical team with a bit of luck, which was close to the lowest level of danger against the military.

  This kind of person is naturally extremely difficult to deal with!

  However, a smile appeared on my lips. It was only now that I realized that I didn't hate the feeling of fighting against the strong. I even enjoyed it...

  He once again took away the force from the opponent's arm, and then used the momentum to deliver a shoulder attack, hitting him squarely in the chest. He stumbled back nearly ten meters, holding his chest and gasping like a wolf.

  The strengthening of his body is limited to his limbs. Although his physical fitness and internal organs have also been improved to a certain extent, he still cannot withstand the ravages of Hua Jin. If he continues like this, I am confident that I can take down his head and then force him to tell me Xu Pengxuan's location.

  "Clang!"

  Suddenly, the man stood up straight, reached behind his back, and pulled out a half-meter-long short blade that shone with silver light.

  I recognize this kind of blade. It's a ninja sword from Shikishima. From the way of its physical skills, I roughly know that it should be related to ninjas. Now it seems that it is indeed from Shikishima.

  "Shikishima, what on earth are you doing?"

  The Shikishima assassin raised his head, holding the blade in reverse. The dark red in his eyes intensified, revealing a hint of bloodthirstiness. "Kill!"

  After a string of fierce words, the assassin suddenly turned around and moved forward, leaving a deep dent in the hard road surface where he was standing.

  Although I don't understand the Shikishima language, I have fought with many extraordinary people from the Shikishima people, so I understand the meaning of the word "Go to hell!" Seeing this, I did not hesitate to mobilize the blood and energy in my body, and the powerful energy burst out from the bones, to the fascia, and then to the muscles and skin.

  The air around me suddenly shook, making a "whoosh" sound, and then I rushed up at a speed faster than the assassin. The opponent followed up the momentum of the attack and slashed from top to bottom with a knife; I moved my energy as I wished, and with a slight twist of my muscles and bones, I twisted my body like a ghost and avoided the opponent's attack by a few inches.

  Then I pushed the ground with one foot, and the ground cracked like a tortoise shell. I swept the other foot across like a whip. The assassin missed the attack and started to dodge, but was still hit in the abdomen by my kick. He was struck by lightning and staggered back several steps. He squatted on the ground and gasped for a while before looking up at me in shock.

  He actually murmured, "Giri-sama, ipichi wo han na-da..." (Who the hell are you?) He was shocked. As the culmination of the Assassins and Shikishima ninjas who crossed the East, his assassination career had always been smooth sailing. However, he did not expect that a mere oriental warrior, an old-line oriental warrior who was considered to be the bottom of the four lines of extraordinary people, would be so powerful.

  "You can speak Chinese, right? Tell me who sent you." I stretched out my fists and walked slowly towards him. With every step I took, I used the soles of my feet to stimulate a ray of energy, causing the ground to tremble slightly. However, it was not the entire ground that was shaking. Instead, I used the energy to accurately bring a slight vibration to the other person, making his blood tremble, and giving him a sense of oppression as if a giant beast was walking towards him.

  This was the same move I just used, a martial art I created, an application of the Dragon Walk and Tiger Step technique. The assassin felt a heat at the tip of his nose, as if an ancient mammoth were approaching him. The area where he had been kicked felt like it was being pricked by needles and burned by fire. He knew he had been injured by the uniquely unpredictable energy of Eastern warriors, but he still managed to stand up.

  "I was planning to take care of you by myself, but now it seems I can't do it. But do you think you won?"

  "No, you have no idea how great my master is. If he wants to kill you, you will never be able to escape!"

  The assassin now spoke a slightly strange Chinese dialect, and since we could communicate, I felt a slight movement in my heart, and became very interested in the "master" he mentioned. After all, I also wanted to know, besides Xu Pengxuan, who else was planning to kill me.

  I deliberately sarcastically asked, "Powerful? Then why don't you dare tell me his name?"

  The assassin wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, "You will know when the master comes, but that will be the day of your death!" After that, he rushed over again and the fight started again. This time he paid great attention to protecting his chest and abdomen. He would rather take heavy blows on his legs and arms than leave the goal open and give me a chance again.

  His blade slashed across, but I dodged it with my usual swift, swift steps, then struck his arm from the side. With a resounding thud, the ninja sword spun out, sending sparks flying far away as it scraped against the ground. The assassin quickly retreated, utterly stunned. For some unknown moment, his once-steel arms had become as heavy as lead. A dull ache clung to my bones and muscles. If I lifted his clothes now, I'd see bruises everywhere.

  He hadn't felt such pain for many years since he awakened his strengthening ability. However, he didn't know that the transformation force could penetrate into the muscles and bones and strike the weakest points. Even in the strengthened parts, the strength of bones, blood vessels, tendons, and skin still varies.

  As long as it is not at the "diamond" level, with uniform internal strength, dense and neat arrangement, and impeccable, it will gradually reveal flaws under the attack of a skilled martial artist!

  "You lost. Tell me who sent you here, and maybe I'll let you go." I kept saying some old-fashioned but effective words while walking towards the other party, increasing the sense of oppression... This kind of psychological confrontation before the battle gave me a long-lost sense of excitement, and made me slightly realize that the marks left by those years cannot be erased in just a few months of waking up.

  The assassin's breathing became rapid, and I knew he was completely exhausted. Just as I was about to go forward to subdue him completely and interrogate him, I suddenly saw more than a dozen cars driving towards me from both sides of the empty road.

  Then all the car doors opened, and seventy or eighty men armed with guns got out. Many of them were carrying titanium alloy boxes with US military logos on them. My heart sank suddenly.

  These are Xu Pengxuan's subordinates!

  I looked back and saw the assassin holding a bullet in his arm. He said, "Although I can't kill you, my mission is accomplished."

  "Bang!" The next moment, the smoke dispersed and the assassin's figure disappeared in the fog.

  However, from the fleeting sight, I could tell he was still lurking in the shadows, waiting for his chance to strike... I could even roughly sense his location, but first I had to face these armed gang members. "Go!"

  The gang members immediately raised their guns, flashes of fire, and volleys of bullets blazed. A sense of danger pierced my back. Remember, Hua Jin warriors are classified as "dangerous," meaning they can't handle such a situation. So, in this critical moment, I instinctively drew Qi from my Dantian. In that instant, I felt a sharp, searing pain in my abdomen, as if I'd been stabbed. But the Qi I drew quickly flowed through my meridians, merging with Hua Jin and filling my entire body!

  The gang members laughed excitedly, raised their guns and fired wildly like black people in an African melee, but the next moment they suddenly opened their eyes wide, and the man standing in the middle of the road suddenly burst out with brilliant golden light, and the whole person seemed to be covered with a layer of golden armor.

  Countless bullets hit its body, splattering into red flowers, but that was not blood, but a scene of a single head melting and splashing like magma!
