The ‘huh’ sound was very soft, as if someone was casually murmuring, but in song qingxiao and Captain an’s ears, it was like thunder.

Before this, song qingxiao had only felt that something was wrong, but her divine sense had not detected any other aura. This proved that the person who had made the sound was far stronger than her.

If this person hadn’t taken the initiative to speak, Captain an probably wouldn’t have noticed him even if he got close.

“There’s actually someone else here?”

The person who spoke first made a ‘huh’ sound and then chuckled.

His tone was a little nonchalant, with a kind of condescending arrogance. Compared to the arrogance of number two in the trial space, it was even more natural.

“Who is it?”

When Captain an heard someone speak, his whole body tensed up, and his hair stood on end. He raised the gun in his hand, and the infrared spot moved around in an attempt to find the person.

The voice seemed to ring in their minds, but it also seemed like someone was whispering beside them, so they couldn’t tell where the person was.

The situation was dangerous. Song qingxiao was calmer than Captain an and thought more.

Since the person had spoken, it was clear that he had no intention of hiding his existence. In this situation, the other party was either stupid, deliberately acting mysterious, or he believed that he had the strength to suppress the two. Everyone in the Empire knew about the autumn road case. The ‘people’ who came in the middle of the night were not ordinary people. It was impossible for them to be fools.

The people who died here were related to a hidden clan, so the people who came here were likely to be related to a hidden clan as well. In that case, it meant that the person who came had extraordinary strength, but he didn’t know if he had any ill intentions.

“Who is it? Come out!” Captain an took a step forward, his tall figure shielding song qingxiao.

His actions stunned song Qing. Ever since she had entered the trial space, she had not experienced many trials, but every time, it had been infighting and scheming. She had tried her best to plot for others “survival.

For the sake of points, abilities, and rewards, they would stab each other in the back, drag each other down, and try to kill each other.

A person like Captain an probably wouldn’t even be able to survive a single round of missions in the trial space.

He had a clear personality and was not easy to get close to.

When song qingxiao first entered the guard Station, his eyes, demeanor, and tone had left a deep impression on her, making her feel fear.

Later on, after his strength increased, he was less wary and afraid of the people from the guard Hall. However, because they were no longer in the same line of work, he held a respectful and distant attitude.

Perhaps it was because of his profession, but he abhorred evil and had a sense of justice that was rare in modern times.

Ever since the incident at the autumn road, when she needed to patrol, the other people in the guard Station ostracized her and made her patrol at night. They wanted to see her make a fool of herself, but Captain an, who usually didn’t take care of her, deliberately joined her team. Song qingxiao had already noticed this.

But to song qingxiao, she didn’t feel anything.

She was quite calm. Ordinary people posed no threat to her. If ability users appeared, they would have already surpassed the level of an existence like Captain an. He didn’t need to deal with the low-level ones, but if song qingxiao couldn’t deal with the high-level ones, Captain an wouldn’t be able to do anything.

That sense of justice was insignificant to her, even a little redundant. However, Captain an’s ‘redundant’ action of subconsciously blocking in front of her despite knowing that the person was extraordinary reminded song qingxiao of some things that couldn’t be lost in the depths of human nature.

“Oh,”

As soon as Captain an finished speaking, the person laughed, as if he was amused by Captain an’s actions. When the wind blew, there was a dangerous and nervous atmosphere.

Even though she couldn’t hear any footsteps and her surroundings were dark, song qingxiao could feel that someone was approaching.

Under the infrared scan, a shadow appeared more than ten meters away. It was blurry and not very real, but the surrounding air seemed to be affected by his arrival. It froze, making people feel a heavy pressure.

stop! Don’t come over, or I’ll shoot.

Captain an warned, but the man didn’t take his warning seriously. As if he was taking a stroll in the courtyard, he took a step forward. At first, he was still about ten meters away from the two, but with this step, he seemed to have appeared in front of them in the next moment.

An extreme sense of danger hit Captain an. He pressed the trigger without hesitation. The moment he fired, the man reached out and the red dot shone on his palm. He faced the muzzle of the gun and said,” this thing is useless against me.

He held the muzzle of the gun, and the light energy that was supposed to be able to penetrate flesh and blood was squeezed in his palm.

Captain an’s eyes widened in disbelief. Just as he was about to say something, song qingxiao felt a surge of spiritual power from the man’s palm, although it doesn’t work on me, I don’t like people threatening me.

“Be careful!”

The moment song qingxiao felt the fluctuation of spiritual power, the spiritual power in her body was guided and began to operate instinctively.

He didn’t know where this person came from, but he was obviously an expert. He was no longer subject to the restrictions of the secular world and actually had the intention to kill at the slightest disagreement.

The man loosened his grip, and the light energy that he had covered in his palm was reflected back. The gun barrel deformed under the high temperature. “Oh!” Captain an’s palm seemed to be stuck to the gun, and he couldn’t pull it back. He groaned in pain.

Song Qing’s small figure flashed. That person raised a hand and made a pause gesture. He clearly did not do anything, but the surrounding spiritual power weaved into an invisible vortex, clinging to her body. It made her feel as if she was being pressed down by a heavy mountain, and every move carried a thousand tons of pressure.

Every strand of hair seemed to carry an endless weight, and the huge pressure made her shoulders drooped, as if forcing her to kneel.

At this moment, the gun suffered a backlash from the light energy. The body of the gun began to melt and drip down.

Under the high temperature, Captain an’s palm made a sizzling sound as it was burned. Song qingxiao suppressed the fear in her heart. At the same time that her body was suppressed, the spiritual power in her body began to circulate along with the ‘God destroying technique’, greatly relieving her pressure.

As soon as she was freed, she subconsciously reached out to grab Captain an’s palm.

The moment song Qing’s small hand touched Captain an’s hand, an extremely overbearing spirit energy surged through Captain an’s hand and invaded her body. The spirit energy was hit by this overbearing energy. Ice and Fire met and immediately became chaotic. It returned to song Qing’s small internal organs, causing her to suffer a great loss.

Song qingxiao felt a metallic taste in her throat. She endured the changes in her body and covered it with spiritual power. With a ‘plop’ sound, a layer of ice wrapped around the liquefied gun.

However, as soon as this layer of ice came into contact with the spiritual power, it turned into a hot mist that surged upwards.

The moment song qingxiao’s palm felt a burning pain, blue scales appeared on her palm to block the heat.

She endured the burning pain in her palm and pulled Captain an’s hand back forcefully, forcing him to stagger back two steps to put some distance between him and the man.

“Eh?”

This person had originally thought that he would be able to kill two ordinary people without a doubt, and had not even considered the possibility of failure. Song qingxiao pulled Captain an back two steps. He let out a surprised sound, there’s actually a little ant.

Captain an had escaped from death. He only felt that he had managed to survive after hitting the wall of the alley behind him.

The hand he used to hold the spear was almost disabled, but he didn’t feel any pain. At this time, he was sweating like rain. Before he could stand still, he shouted,”

-We were instructed by the Shi family to come here to investigate the case…” The newcomer had displayed extraordinary strength in just one exchange and had almost taken his life.

The first thing Captain an thought of was that group of reclusive clans, and he immediately used the Shi family’s name to save his life.

He reacted quickly, but to Captain an’s surprise, the man only paused when he heard the Shi family’s name. “Shi family?”

“The Shi family can’t control us,” he laughed coldly.

Song qingxiao sharply noticed the ‘we’ in his words, which proved that there was more than one person here tonight.

If one person was already so powerful, it would be difficult to survive if there was one more person..
