"Search for Intermediate War Generals and Beginner War Generals! Send me all their information!"
Li Yao glanced at the screen, which was flashing with a large number of light spots, densely packed together.
"Go!"
After the search was complete, Li Yao immediately took a team of professionals and departed in a fighter jet.
"Beep!"
Two dark blue, saucer-shaped fighter jets identified themselves through the city's signals and transformed into two streaks of light, heading straight for City 003.
Inside the cockpit.
"Yao, could it be a Lord-level Monster that killed him?"
Vinena considered another possibility. Li Wei had sent out a distress signal before, being chased by a Beginner Lord-level Monster.
"Even a Lord-level Monster wouldn't prevent him from sending a distress signal!"
Li Yao's facial muscles twitched, his eyes blazing with fury. Li Wei was his only son; losing him felt like losing everything.
You have to understand.
The stronger the genes, the lower the chances of conceiving.
"I've already asked Wang Tong nearby to go and check the scene. We should have answers when he gets there!"
Li Yao's prime suspect at this moment was Beiyuan Gang!
But how could he have guessed that the reason he hadn't sent a distress signal was because Beiyuan Gang was present, and Li Wei was fearless!
And ultimately, he died because of it.
Soon.
Li Yao's communicator rang.
The voice of War God Wang Tong came from the other end: "Vulture, I can be sure that it wasn't Beiyuan Gang who did it!"
"How can you be sure?!"
Li Yao was now in a near-berserk state, and he couldn't let go of any suspicious detail.
He was sure?
What proof did he have?!
"Because, Beiyuan Gang is also dead!"
"What?!"
Hearing this news, both Li Yao and Vinena's expressions changed drastically!
"Could it be an existence beyond the War God level? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Li Yao immediately dismissed this thought.
Not to mention that he couldn't afford to offend an existence beyond the War God level, such figures were all high and mighty. How could they be hunting monsters in the wilderness?
Soon.
The azure warplane arrived at the scene. Before it could even land, Li Yao and Vinena jumped out from the high altitude.
"Vulture, my condolences!"
Wang Tong and Li Kan clasped their hands in a gesture of respect.
"What's the conclusion?"
Li Yao suppressed his anger, trying to keep his tone calm.
"I can only say that whoever killed Beiyuan Gang was at least an Intermediate War God!"
Wang Tong didn't take offense at Li Yao's tone. "Although Beiyuan Gang's fatal wound was a headshot, the bones in his arm, which was used to defend himself, were completely shattered, and his internal organs were the same. It was clearly from resisting a massive force!"
"An average Intermediate War God can barely do this. It's possible it was an Advanced War God, or a War God-level Spirit Reader!"
"It's not impossible the person who killed Beiyuan Gang also killed Li Wei and the others to silence them!"
At that moment, five people wearing dark gray uniforms and carrying various instrument cases jumped down from a sapphire-blue fighter jet.
Under the command of a white-haired old man at the lead, four of them quickly opened their cases, took out various instruments, and began to conduct high-tech, precise detection and reconstruction of the scene.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Li Yao and Vinena's expressions were terrifyingly silent; their faces looked as if they were about to drip water.
War God Wang Tong and War God Li Kan glanced at each other, both sighing inwardly.
With the ruthless personalities of this couple, the death of their only son meant they would likely seek revenge at any cost!
Besides existences beyond the War God level, probably no one in the world could withstand their fury!
Soon.
"Sir, Madam!"
The old man with white hair respectfully saluted, "The investigation has results. Please come and take a look!"
Li Yao and his wife, along with War God Wang Tong and Li Kan, stood before a laptop. A simulated video played on the screen.
"Based on the precise analysis of the environment, substances, and energy residue, these three died almost simultaneously, and they were killed instantly."
The white-haired old man cautiously analyzed, "Their manner of death was the same. Their necks were split open from the front. Based on the scorch marks on the cuts, the attack speed was at least 1200 meters per second."
Hearing this, Li Yao and his wife's pupils constricted!
What was the concept of 1200 meters per second? The heavy sniper rifles of the M series, used by general thermal weapon martial artists, had this speed!
If it wasn't a close-range attack, then the murderer must be a Spirit Reader, and a War God-level Spirit Reader at that!
"Sir, Madam, please look at the video!"
The white-haired old man respectfully finished speaking.
A video appeared on the screen, with green phantoms replacing the figures. A streak of light flashed past Li Wei's head and neck from the front, instantly drawing a bizarre arc that severed Old Man Liu and the white man, Karon.
"That's right!"
Wang Tong nodded in agreement, saying, "I also examined the corpses. There was no fear in Li Wei's pupils, obviously he hadn't reacted yet, while the old martial artist and the white man were extremely terrified when they died."
"Based on the material residue analysis from the same time period, and according to the surrounding ground damage, footprints, bloodstains, and the qualitative change of material energy, the place where the battle occurred was about 1200 meters away from the three of them."
The white-haired old man clicked on his laptop and simulated the overall scene, saying, "Sir, Madam, please take a look."
The screen showed two figures in combat. During the fight, a beam of light suddenly shot out, targeting the three watching.
The simulation made the answer very clear!
"A War God-level Spirit Reader!"
Li Yao clenched his fists, gritting his teeth. "Beiyuan Gang is an Intermediate War God. If the killer was an Advanced War God-level Spirit Reader, it wouldn't take any effort to kill him!"
"And if the killer was an Intermediate War God-level Spirit Reader, given Beiyuan Gang's personality, he would only run for his life, not fight back!"
"The most likely possibility is that the killer is a Beginner War God-level Spirit Reader!"
"But I checked, and thirty seconds after A-Wei was killed, Beiyuan Gang was the only War God within a hundred miles!"
"So, there are only two possibilities!"
"One, the killer had just been promoted to War God and hadn't joined the War God Palace yet!"
"Second, the murderer is a War God-level expert, but he didn't bring a communicator, so I can't trace him!"
War Gods are well-informed and easily understand the secrets behind communicators. Therefore, when handling confidential matters, they typically don't carry them.
Silence! Complete stillness.
Only Li Yao was speaking beside Li Wei's corpse.
War God Wang Tong and Li Kan stood at a distance, silent, their gazes towards the couple even carrying a hint of pity.
Based on the current situation, it was clear the other party wasn't targeting their son. Instead, their son had likely gone to watch a War God battle, and perhaps even done something to offend the War God, leading to his death.
After all, the other party was a War God-level Spirit Reader.
If the intention was to kill Li Wei, he would have died from the start. Not even Beiyuan Gang, or even Li Yao himself, could have saved him!
Spirit Readers' attacks were truly bizarre.
"No matter who it is, I will not let the person who killed my son go!"
Vinena's eyes were blood red. "Announce the news of A-Wei's death to the world. Let every warrior know that I, Vinena Polenas, am offering a 150 billion Hanxia Currency reward for the killer. Even if he is a War God-level Spirit Reader, I will make him pay with his life for A-Wei!"
Hearing this price, Wang Tong and Li Kan beside her both gasped.
A massive reward of 150 billion was enough to move even those beyond the War God level. Even the legendary King-level Monster materials were mostly worth around 100 billion.
You see…
A King-level Monster was equivalent to a human beyond the War God level. They possessed high intelligence and also had many Lord-level Monsters under their command. How easy would it be to kill one?
In comparison, killing a Beginner War God-level Spirit Reader would be much easier!
