    “I don’t know what you’re talking about?” Pei Jinye looked on with a candid gaze.


    Under the night sky, wild mes flickered like deceptive shadows.


    “You’re lying,” Xu Tian dered with poised certainty, as if he had Pei Jinye all figured out, calmly stating, “I’ve been to Lan Feng’s ce, and as luck would have it, I found a strand of hair that hadn’t been dealt with… I’ve only sensed this scent recently on you.”


    “So what?” Pei Jinye’s expression remained unchanged, and he even slowly revealed a mocking smile, “What are you trying to say? Are you suspecting that I killed him? Or do you think I colluded with him?”


    Xu Tian suddenlyughed, “Your phrasing is interesting, but I did suspect it… Unfortunately, whenpared with the timeline, you had just joined the Bronze Association not long ago, clearlycking the ability to deal with him… As for collusion, given your family background, I don’t think you hold any value that Lan Feng, a selfish person, would highly favor.”


    Pei Jinye paused for a moment, then looked over coldly as if his pride had been wounded, “So what!”


    Xu Tian’s smile broadened a few degrees, “Really, just a boy, aren’t you? Mention of value and your fragile pride can’t take it… But don’t be angry, reality is often that cruel, I’m just giving you a taste in advance. You just need to tell me, did Lan Feng look for you? Did you two ever make contact? Tell me…”


    A wave of spiritual power invasion instantly enveloped Pei Jinye.


    His expression became vacant.


    But inside, he was indifferent.


    If it weren’t for the [18-18] mark above Xu Tian’s head at this moment, he probably would have made a move already, resolving this bother on the spot.


    “No…” He feigned innocence as if hypnotized, honestly answering.


    Xu Tian’s smile faltered.


    “No? Could it be I’ve overthought it?”


    The next moment.


    He felt the resistance of the other’s spiritual power.


    Xu Tian’s supercilious smile once again spread at the corners of his mouth, “I seem to have forgotten, you’re also a Transcendent of the Psychic Power ss… Such a pitifuld, forget all of this.”


    Xu Tian turned and vanished into the night.


    Pei Jinye stood motionless in ce, the gusts from the approaching light rail train lifting the hair on his forehead.


    He slowly raised his head.


    Looking at the opening train doors.


    His gaze was deep and distant.


    “I understand, I will attend tomorrow’s city hall meeting on time, and also, help me check Lan Feng’s social connections and the Bronze Association…”


    On the roadside, Xu Tian was on a call.


    Suddenly, an immense sound wave erupted, drowning out all other noises.


    A figure emerged from the darkness like an Ancient Ferocious Ape, like a Wild Dragon, and with a fist overhead, hammered down towards Xu Tian’s head!


    The punch was ferociously fierce, stirring a malevolent wind in its wake, along with a zing hot surge of Blood energy.


    Such a sudden change shocked Xu Tian.


    He hadn’t even realized that there was such a fierce person hidden on this road!


    He couldn’t trace the soul aura of the assant!


    “Purify!” he bellowed, activating his Ability.


    Faced with such a formidable Physical Body, he was no match for his opponent.


    Only the Transcendent!


    “Bang!”


    The attacker’s figure just paused for an instant, then broke through the invisible barrier, bellowing like Thunderbolt.


    Boom!


    Xu Tian’s eyes widened in shock, and the next second, he invoked Secret Technique, suddenly turning a golden hue.


    “Judgment above!”


    An enigmatic force poured into his Body as if light were descending, shining brilliantly.


    Xu Tian bent his left leg forward sharply, retreating a step back with his right leg, meeting the assant’s fierce punch as if lifting a towering mountain, head-on.


    “Rumble!”


    Almost instantly.


    The concrete beneath Xu Tian’s feet sunk violently, a mass of dust mingled with shattered stones flew out like shells, scattering in all directions!


    “This guy’s strength!”


    Xu Tian’s eyes bulged, his entire Vitality shaking intensely from that punch.


    “With me as the spear, with the light as the shield, I pronounce the judgment!”


    Xu Tian roared, his pupils seemingly surrounded by golden light, his Blood energy suddenly roaring like a furnace.


    The mysterious person’s eyes were full of ferocity, stepping forward a pace, the surging earth rising, and with a flick in the air, his clenched fingers carried a thunderous roar.


    Shock! Shock! Shock!


    Boom!


    In an instant, within ten meters around, it was like ten thousand seas erupting.


    The mysterious figureunched another punch, carrying a ferocious gale that howled like ghosts and wolves, ignoring the ten broken pieces flying in front of him and pushing straight ahead with an utterly ruthless force, as if trying to shatter the heavens themselves.


    “Divine Gift!” Xu Tian also let out a furious roar.


    The next moment.


    Behind him, it seemed as though wings were unfolding, radiating a divine, bright, and sharp will capable of rendering judgment on everything.


    He vanished from the spot in an instant.


    “Boom!”


    It was as if two savage forces collided, and indeed, they had.


    The mysterious figure forcefully mmed Xu Tian to the ground.


    But Xu Tian seemed to be covered by a mysterious force, as he spat out golden blood, hisbat power not fading at all.


    At that moment, he lifted his head and slowly rose from the billowing dust, his injuries miraculously fast-healing.


    “Which member of the Bronze Association are you?”


    Standing ten meters away, the mysterious figure looked on emotionlessly as the ground beneath crumbled.


    With a mystical nobility in his voice, Xu Tian responded, “I know that investigating Pei Jinye without permission might infuriate you, but I didn’t expect your counterattack to be so swift. I can assure you, I have no intention to harm him; otherwise, with my methods, he would have died long ago. But do not overstep your bounds.”


    The mysterious figure took a step forward.


    Xu Tian narrowed his eyes, a glint of gold shining, as he silently gathered his strength, “I mean no harm! I don’t intend to provoke you either!”


    “It had better be so!”


    Under the night sky.


    The dust cloud spread far and wide as the mysterious figure’s silhouette gradually disappeared into it.


    Xu Tian remained motionless, vigntly scanning his surroundings; once he confirmed the other party had disappeared, he could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    But this time, it wasn’t golden blood.


    His face was ghastly pale, “Damn it, I wasted a bottle of Divine Blood!”


    “The Bronze Association! It’s even more formidable than I imagined!”


    His heart sunk into the abyss.


    At this moment, he realized he hadpletely underestimated the Bronze Association. A member of unknown identity pushed him to use Divine Blood, but he still had a trump card… which, thankfully, he had not used, for the cost would have been too great.


    Meanwhile, within another mountain forest.


    Pei Jinye shed his disguise, with a taste of blood rushing to his throat.


    The fellow from the Judgement ce was even more troublesome than he had imagined, employing methods beyond his expectations. Had it not been for his ability to add points to his proficiency…


    “Indeed, the people from the big cities have different skills,” he mused to himself.


    Pei Jinye lifted his head, his face smeared with a trail of blood under the moonlight, looking like a nocturnal demon, a hysterically fierce smile hanging on his lips.


    He had considered using all his power to kill Xu Tian.


    However, with the “Divine Gift” state active, the injuries Xu Tian received were visibly healing rapidly, and he wasn’t entirely sure he could finish him off… To avoid exposing the secret of his Multi-system Ability, Xu Tian’s life was spared tonight.


    Fortunately, this encounter also served as a probe into the adversary’s depth.


    For the short term, that individual would likely be wary.


    “Still, I need to hurry up and get stronger!”


    Pei Jinye let out a soft sigh, casually pointing his finger, the Terrifying Power at his fingertipnding on a Greasy Poisonous Snake lurking behind him.


    Pei Jinye didn’t even give it a nce as he quickly left.


    The moment he disappeared, a “snap” was heard, and the Greasy Poisonous Snake fell from the branch to the ground, its blood oozing from the shattered scales, dead beyond dead!


    Upon detecting thebat, the Night Patrol Squad arrived swiftly, and upon seeing Xu Tian’s identity, they were very cautious, “Commander, what happened here?”


    Xu Tian’s gaze flickered several times before he finally shook his head, “Judgement ce’s confidentiality, I cannot disclose. This ce is none of your concern. Also, take me back in your vehicle.”


    “Yes, Commander.”


    The Night Patrol Squad notified personnel to repair the road, and two hovercars quickly vanished into the darkness.


    Xu Tian sat in the rear seat, with his eyes closed in contemtion.


    “I must apply for Divine Blood from the Judgement ce as soon as possible… Mad, that Da Peng is really strange!”
