Chapter 16

The scar-faced man lowered his head and looked at the upper half of his arm that had fallen to the ground in shock.

His arm was cut off by a rookie?

“How… How is this possible? Brother Liao’s arm couldn’t even be pierced by ordinary small-caliber bullets, but that rookie actually cut it off with his bare hands?”

“Damn it, he’s using a D-rank combat technique, the Curved Hand Blade, but is it that powerful?”

Many fallen martial artists looked at the scene in front of them in shock.

“Mastery Realm Curved Hand Blade? No, it doesn’t have such power… Could it be the Perfection Realm Curved Hand Blade?”

The scar-faced man assessed Chu Zhou’s Curved Hand Blade’s realm in his heart, his expression extremely solemn.

He did not expect to meet a pervert like Chu Zhou today.

A rookie, still wet behind his ears, had actually cultivated a D-rank combat technique to a realm that he could not understand.

“I’m very curious. How did your hands become like this?”

Chu Zhou said calmly and walked towards the scar-faced man step by step.

“You want to know the answer? Ask in hell!”

The scar-faced man smiled sinisterly. His other intact arm suddenly grabbed the broken cement pillar beside him.

With a loud bang, the cement pillar that was half as thick as an arm was forcefully extracted from the ground.

He swung the cement pillar violently and smashed towards Chu Zhou.

There was an explosion.

A hurricane swept across the entire hall, bringing with it a handful of dust.

Liu Qianqian’s face turned pale when she saw the violent scene.

She knew that she could not block such an attack.

She would have been smashed into meat paste if the scar-faced man had attacked her.

However, Chu Zhou’s expression remained calm. He walked towards the scar-faced man and instantly sped up.

His palms were like peerless sabers that were suddenly unsheathed, slashing out scarlet arcs.

Ching ching ching.

The heavy cement pillar crashed down, cut into dozens of pieces in the blink of an eye and scattered everywhere.

The cement pillar in the scar-faced man’s hand disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only a piece the size of a face plate was left in his hand.

His expression changed drastically, and he chose to retreat decisively.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Chu Zhou chased after him. His hands and his legs were knives, and there were knives everywhere. Sharp and white arcs enveloped the scar-faced man at the same time.

The scar-faced man’s figure suddenly stopped.

Chu Zhou also stopped and looked at the scar-faced man quietly.

Lines of blood appeared on the scar-faced man’s neck, feet, legs, waist, and other places.

In the next moment, the scar-faced man’s entire body split into pieces and fell to the ground.

“Is this the power of an Intent Realm Curved Hand Blade? So powerful!”

Liu Qianqian’s jaw dropped.

“Run, run away quickly…”

The remaining seven fallen martial artists looked at their boss, Brother Liao, who was actually cut into pieces by Chu Zhou like raw pork.

They had almost peed in their pants.

They quickly rushed to jump off the building in their escape.

A sword appeared as soon as they did that.

The sword was as fast as lightning and also ruthless.

In less than three breaths, the seven fallen martial artists were all beheaded.

Headless corpses spurted out blood like spring water.

A young man with silver hair and a cold expression, like an ancient swordsman, appeared in Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian’s line of sight.

He was, without a doubt, the person who beheaded the seven fallen martial artists.

“Ling Zhan from the First High School… Why is he here?”

Liu Qianqian recognized the person and exclaimed softly.

“Could it be that he’s also carrying out a mission nearby?” Chu Zhou’s eyes revealed a trace of confusion.

Ling Zhan walked past the seven corpses. His gaze landed on the pieces of meat that was the scar-faced man with a trace of regret in his eyes.

“I wanted him to test my sword when I found out that there was a mutant here… Unfortunately, I was a step too late and he was killed!”

He sighed softly and shifted his gaze to Chu Zhou.

“I didn’t expect someone like you hidden among the third-year students of Jiang City. You actually managed to cultivate a D-rank combat technique to the Intent Realm forcefully.”

“Interesting. Looks like this Elite Trial will not be boring after all. I’ll wait for you in the Elite Trial!”

With that, he turned around and walked to the edge of the building before jumping down.

“Wow, Chu Zhou, Ling Zhan actually challenged you.” Liu Qian Qian said in shock. “Ling Zhan is the top amongst the three monsters of the First High School. I heard that he has always been cold and arrogant. He doesn’t even take the other two monsters of the First High School seriously.”

“He actually challenged you… Heavens, this means that he treats you as a formidable opponent.”

“If this news gets out, I’m afraid all the third-year students in Jiang City will be in an uproar.”

“A challenge? Interesting…” Chu Zhou smiled. A trace of battle intent surged in his heart.

His expectations for the elite trial became even greater after he achieved the Intent Realm for his Curved Hand Blade.

Previously, his goal was to enter the top three of the elite trial and obtain the genetic potion.

Now, his goal has changed.

He wanted to be first!

“Liu Qianqian!” Chu Zhou glanced at the scar-faced man’s corpse and suddenly shouted.

“What’s the matter?” Liu Qianqian looked at Chu Zhou in confusion.

“I don’t want to reveal my strength for the time being. Please help to cover up the matter here. Don’t say that I killed this scar-faced man. Just say that it was Ling Zhan who killed him!” Chu Zhou said.

The genetic potion was related to whether he could successfully open the genetic lock, awaken his genetic power, and advance to an Awakening Realm Martial Artist.

Therefore, while it might not affect him much even if his strength was exposed, he still chose to be more cautious before successfully obtaining the genetic potion.

He did not want any trouble that could come with exposing his strength!

He did not value reputation that much.

He only valued tangible benefits.

“You want to continue hiding your strength?” Liu Qian Qian revealed a surprised expression, “The scar-faced man is obviously the leader of this stronghold. Killing him will be a huge contribution. You’re giving it to Ling Zhan just like that?”

“Sure! I don’t care.” Chu Zhou said calmly.

Liu Qianqian was speechless.

She did not understand why Chu Zhou was so obsessed with hiding his strength. He even gave such a huge contribution to others in order to hide his strength.

She would not be able to do it if she was in his shoes.

If it were Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan, they would probably want to spread the news everywhere and let the entire world know.

“Alright! I agree. However, Ling Zhan also saw you kill the scar-faced man… If he wants to tell the truth, then there’s nothing I can do.”

“It’s fine. He probably can’t be bothered to tell anyone about this… If he does, then so be it.”

After Chu Zhou heard Liu Qianqian’s agreement, he began to search the bodies of the scar-faced man and the other seven fallen warriors.

How could he not loot the corpses of monsters he killed?

Unfortunately, the scar-faced man and the seven fallen martial artists did not have much cash on them. They only had a little more than 10,000 Alliance Dollars.

They did have bank cards on them, but Chu Zhou did not know the password. Even if he knew the password, there would be verification with fingerprints before he could withdraw the money.

If the withdrawal amount was large, verification had to be done through genetic information.

In other words, these bank cards were useless to him.

He casually threw them on the ground.

“There’s still meat on a mosquito, no matter how small it is!”

Chu Zhou happily stuffed the cash he found into his pocket.

He wasn’t afraid that Officer Gao Jun and the others would find out.

Before the operation, Gao Jun had told them that the things on the fallen martial artist would belong to them if they killed them during the operation.

Of course, if the items of fallen martial artists were important, such as more important clues and evidence…

The police would confiscate these items and compensate them in monetary terms.

Liu Qianqian did not say anything when she saw Chu Zhou pocket the money.

The credit belonged to Chu Zhou.

Moreover, she was not short of money.

Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian went behind the blackout cloth to search the place.

They found the body of an adult male with shards of glass embedded in his body. It was the body Chu Zhou had seen earlier.

In addition to this corpse, they also found two unconscious female students inside.

“These fallen martial artists are indeed capturing students. What are they trying to do?” Liu Qianqian looked at the two female students with a furious expression.

Fortunately, these two female students were only unconscious and were not injured.

“Let’s wait for Officer Gao Jun and the others to handle the rest.”

Chu Zhou said.

“Mm!” Liu Qian Qian nodded. Suddenly, she looked in the direction of Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan with disgust and said, “Then, how should we deal with those two scum?”

“We’ll also let Officer Gao Jun and the others handle them. We’ll tell them what they did.”

Chu Zhou said expressionlessly.

He felt that it was a pity.

If only the scar-faced man had killed these two when he stepped on them just now.

Liu Qianqian was beside him, and Ling Zhan had also been here before, so it was not good for him to kill these two.

Otherwise, today would be their death anniversary.

However, it did not matter. There was still a chance during the elite trial.

They have nowhere to hide.

“Chu Zhou, Liu Qianqian, it’s good that you’re fine!”

Officer Gao Jun and the others arrived. They heaved a sigh of relief seeing how Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian were fine.

However, they all gasped when they saw the scar-faced man and the headless corpses of the seven fallen warriors.

“Chu Zhou, Liu Qianqian… Did you kill these people?”

Officer Gao Jun said in shock, his pupils constricted slightly especially when he saw the scar-faced man’s arm that looked like the hand of a monster.

Of course, he knew how terrifying mutants like the scar-faced man were.

Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian had actually killed the scar-faced man. This was unbelievable.

“Officer Gao Jun, you’ve misunderstood. We didn’t kill these people… It was Ling Zhan from the First High School. He just appeared here…”

Chu Zhou “explained”.

“Oh, he was killed by Ling Zhan from the First High School… That makes sense.”

Officer Gao Jun and the others revealed expressions of understanding.

They had heard of Ling Zhan, the genius monster of the First High School.

They also believed that Ling Zhan could kill a mutant like the scar-faced man.

“What about them? What happened?”

Officer Gao Jun’s face darkened when he looked at the unconscious Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan.

He hated people who were self-righteous and refused to listen to instructions.

“Officers, this is what happened…”

Liu Qianqian told him everything that Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan had done bluntly.

Officer Gao Jun and the others’ faces turned even darker. They did not expect Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan to be so afraid of death. Not only did they choose to join the enemy, they even wanted to take down their teammates and give them to the enemy in order to survive.

“Cuff them and bring them back. The commander will deal with them.”

Two police officers walked coldly to Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan’s side. They directly cuffed the owners with alloy handcuffs and lifted them up.

Two more police officers carried the two unconscious female students out.

“This operation is over… I will report your contributions to the commander.”

“Let’s go back to the police station!”

Gao Jun brought everyone downstairs as he spoke!
