Chapter 140: Shadow Spider Woman’s Progress! Fierce Battle in the Fields
Li Yunbin glanced at the three people in the security room. He could sense they were all cultivators at the Qi Gathering Realm, so he showed his identification.
These three took a close look and naturally opened up.
The older investigator in the lead had a grave expression and said, “The murder case occurred in a building that should have been uninhabited. The victim’s corpse has been eroded by dark energy and has turned purple, even oozing pus. The energy is quite strange, and we can’t handle it, so we had to find someone.”
The skill level of these investigators in the suburbs was definitely much lower than those in the city, and they were fewer in number, spread across various areas.
“Okay, take us to see it.”
“Alright!”
Soon, led by the three, they arrived at the scene.
There were four people guarding the scene.
Upon seeing Bai Yu and the others, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Opening the old iron gate, everyone walked in.
The corpse was in the bedroom on the second floor. When Bai Yu and the others arrived at the scene, they saw a purple, pus-oozing corpse.
It looked like it had been dead for a long time! But Director Yang had said the murder case was suspected to have happened half an hour ago.
Li Yunbin then asked, “How did you discover it?”
The old investigator said, “We were on patrol and heard a commotion, and we also detected energy fluctuations. It’s just… we didn’t know the enemy’s strength at the time, so we didn’t dare to get close.”
To be honest, after seeing the data on their instruments exceeding Level Ten, they ran away immediately.
A murder case had already occurred, and no other lives were in danger, so running away was a wise decision.
“Alright, you can go out now.”
The old investigator and the others immediately withdrew from the room upon hearing this.
However, they were still very uneasy. Although they knew demons liked to stay in places like this, they could pretend not to know if they didn’t encounter them.
Now that a murder case had happened, they felt restless if it wasn’t dealt with.
What if more people were killed?
After these people left.
Zhao Bin then took out his Golden Bead Abacus.
A golden barrier was cast down.
Zhao Bin’s control over this time-rewinding ability had also improved somewhat.
As if time began to rewind, the figure quickly stood up. The face was somewhat blurry, but the general outline could be seen.
After this man returned to his original form, the scene before his death did not immediately appear.
He seemed to be pacing around the room, contemplating something.
Suddenly, an unknown object flew in through a small gap in the window.
A battle then ensued.
This person also appeared to be a Transcendent, with decent combat power. However, the opponent’s strength was too great. After a series of blurry moves, several bloodstains appeared on this person’s neck.
The scene ended.
Li Yunbin, based on some information from the scene, looked towards the window.
It was an old-fashioned window with six panes and reinforced concrete pillars.
Only one side of the window was open, with no signs of broken glass.
“If the footage is accurate, the opponent should be able to change form or possess special techniques.”
At this moment, Zhao Bin retracted his skill, and said with a serious expression, “I know who the victim is!”
Everyone was stunned.
Bai Yu was also a bit surprised. He might have known who the victim was, Ding Yuanchao!
He just didn’t expect Zhao Bin to recognize him.
“Who?”
“Wanted Criminal – Ding Yuanchao!”
Bai Yu: ??? You actually recognized him!
Zhao Bin continued, “As you know, I read the files for some cases in the bureau. And this Ding Yuanchao has a connection to the Shadow Spider Woman we need to deal with.”
“He was a real estate businessman and lived in Binhai City. The archives I saw only mentioned him as one of the key figures who informed the Lizardman about the Shadow Spider Woman. I don’t know any more details.”
It had to be said, this ability to remember faces was truly amazing!
Bai Yu was astonished; he couldn’t find the person even by looking at the wanted poster.
How did you do that?
Fortunately, he now knew what event Ding Yuanchao was connected to.
Who would have thought! Who would have thought!
It was actually related to the Shadow Spider Woman!
Li Yunbin also pondered, “It seems Director Yang had a premonition about this case, which is why he assigned it to us.”
“Clean up the scene.”
Afterward, they naturally followed the procedure, collecting blood samples, taking photos of the scene, and they also had to take the corpse with them.
Body bags and the like were prepared here, and they were used directly.
After the routine procedures, Bai Yu, as usual, absorbed some energy with the Second Page.
At least for now, the killer seemed to be related to the Shadow Realm, so recording more was good.
But as soon as he finished absorbing, the page began to flash with golden light.
Everyone exchanged glances, saying nothing. Bai Yu silently put the page away.
The murderer was guarding the scene!
Going downstairs.
The old investigator asked, “Officer, can you handle this?”
Li Yunbin had already prepared his response, saying, “The victim in this case is involved in a major case, and it’s not convenient to disclose details.”
“However, the murderer was not targeting your area, so there’s no need to worry.”
“Okay, okay.”
But honestly, they also knew that things had been quite chaotic recently. It would be difficult to appease people with just a few words.
But given the current situation, no one could control it.
Thus, everyone left the building and headed towards the village entrance.
Watching Bai Yu and the others leave the village entrance.
These seven people all sighed.
“Uncle Liu, what should we do now? Should we move into the city? Anyway, our place is going to be demolished, and we’ll get a decent compensation. Tianhai City is expensive, but we can choose a smaller city. It’s better than this remote place.”
The one called Uncle Liu was the older investigator, around forty years old.
He actually had the strength of the Qi Gathering Realm, Level Eight, and he was just an investigator in this village.
The Investigation Bureau in this jurisdiction had cultivators at the Spirit Yuan Realm!
Hearing this, Uncle Liu sighed deeply, “Alas, where is safe these days? The city is having that Black Blood Disease. Who knows what kind of ghost thing it is. At least we don’t have Black Blood Disease here.”
Because the Celestial Phenomena Center was in North City, Tianhai City, their southern suburbs had not had any incidents.
After speaking, Uncle Liu leaned against the glass window of the security booth and took a deep drag of his cigarette.
But suddenly, he straightened up, his eyes wide.
In his vision, the investigators who had just carried away the corpse had actually abandoned it and were running towards the fields.
“Not good! Run! Danger!”
Saying this, he bolted into the village, thinking that if something major happened, he would immediately sound the alarm and wake everyone in the village.
He even suspected that these investigators might be problematic! Otherwise, their behavior of running into the fields was too strange.
But when he looked back, he suddenly realized that the figures of those people were flickering in and out of existence.
On the ridge of the field, firelight and lightning could be vaguely seen.
It was as if some strange phenomenon had occurred.
His steps involuntarily slowed down.
The others, initially panicking and stumbling, were now captivated by this sight.
“Uncle Liu, what’s going on?”
“They must be fighting, using a barrier to seal it, so we can’t see.”
“Uncle Liu is amazing! You know all this.”
Half a minute ago.
Bai Yu and the others were here.
Walking on the cement path by the field.
Bai Yu could clearly feel the Second Page in his Soul Sea fluctuating more and more.
It was hidden in the rice paddies to his right!
‘Bai Ling, can you lock onto it?’
‘Yes! About 50 meters to the right. It seems to be a cat. It still has strong killing intent towards us! Its strength should be at the Spirit Yuan Realm Peak.’
‘Heh! Trying to kill us?’
‘Brother Bai Yu, it’s getting closer, it really looks like it’s going to attack.’
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s eyes turned cold.
Since Director Yang said it was fine to make a commotion, he must have anticipated this.
As expected of a master stargazer!
Without hesitation, Bai Yu took out his Thunder Magic Staff.
A Palm Lightning quickly gathered.
The lightning light flew low. Under the quiet night, even the frogs crawling in the paddy fields were illuminated.
The Cat Demon, which was crouching and ready to hunt, also let out a startled cry.
“Meow~!”
The Cat Demon also did not hesitate, transforming into a black light and charging forward.
Seeing this, Bai Yu thought: This Cat Demon is too green!
Qin Wanqing quickly set up a dark blue barrier.
Seeing this, Bai Yu said nothing and directly released the Dragon River Woman.
“Ah~!”
A soul-shattering sound wave appeared.
The Cat Demon also revealed its true form in mid-air.
“Hmph!”
As if wildly swiping its claws, several purple lights instantly struck the Dragon River Woman, and some white Ghost Qi dissipated.
But Bai Ling, transformed into white light, suddenly attacked.
The Cat Demon, not knowing what Bai Ling was, frowned. The cat spirit shadow behind it lunged forward.
Bai Ling’s strength had greatly increased at this moment. With a flick of its tail.
“Boom~!”
After a clash.
Two auras, one purple and one white, dispersed. The energy even overflowed the barrier.
The Cat Demon’s expression tensed.
But before it could react, a white sword attacked.
With a “swish.”
The purple-blue shield that rose on the Cat Demon was instantly broken, and the white sword left a bloodstain on its right arm.
Seeing this, the Cat Demon did not hesitate. The cat spirit shadow behind it let out a cry.
“Meow~!”
It was like someone torturing a cat late at night, suddenly shouting.
The cat spirit waved, and dozens of ghostly lights shot out in all directions.
The two barriers set up by Qin Wanqing and Zhao Bin quickly blocked these attacks.
However, the Cat Demon’s figure, which remained in place, suddenly exploded with a “bang.”
A dark purple energy wave spread out.
Bai Yu: “She’s trying to escape!”
But before he could finish speaking, a cyan-blue figure suddenly appeared in the direction the Cat Demon was escaping.
Dozens of fist shadows quickly converged.
Jiang Chen!
“Boom boom boom~”
“You’re seeking death!”
The Cat Demon was also somewhat enraged. It was, after all, a peak Spirit Yuan Realm existence. Although not skilled in combat, it was being surrounded by these people!
“Meow~”
The cat spirit behind the Cat Demon suddenly grew larger and rapidly charged forward.
A cyan shield rose on Jiang Chen’s body.
And he attacked forward with his palms.
“Boom~!”
The palm energy was broken, and the Cat Demon broke through the shield again.
It directly struck Jiang Chen.
With a “boom~!”
Jiang Chen fell into the paddy field.
The Cat Demon immediately wanted to finish off Jiang Chen, aiming directly for his neck.
At this moment, a white paper umbrella suddenly flew out, shining towards the Cat Demon, slightly affecting its movements.
Liu Feifei’s accumulated Blazing Flames also reached their limit, transforming into dozens of firebirds that attacked.
The spherical Fire Spirit within the bracelet also attacked rapidly.
Li Yunbin’s eight Sword Lights locked on tightly.
The Cat Demon cursed, “Damn humans!”
Seeing that it couldn’t kill, it was about to retract its power and escape, when it suddenly discovered that the guy below was completely fine. Instead, he drew a silver-white Long Spear, charged it up fiercely, and instantly broke through the air.
“Boom~”
After a wave of confrontation.
The Cat Demon looked at its injured right palm, while Jiang Chen’s arms also bore ten claw marks, staining them red with blood.
“Madman!”
