494: The puzzling two-headed vine

Principal Qin was prominently among the joint law enforcement team!

Just half an hour ago, the Martial Arts Management Bureau received an anonymous call reporting that the Riverside Pharmaceutical Factory was the lair of the Sheepskin Assassin, who had been responsible for recent serial killings.

The caller also exposed a Nine-Rank Martial Artist, specifically naming Shen Bei, and stating that he was currently engaged in a fierce battle with him.

The Martial Arts Management Bureau was completely bewildered.

They knew of the Riverside Pharmaceutical Factory; it was a major taxpayer!

How could it be the lair of the Sheepskin Assassin?

Even more shocking was that Shen Bei had been deployed!

According to the operation lists of the Martial Arts Management Bureau and the Patrol Bureau, Shen Bei's name wasn't on them.

So, the Martial Arts Management Bureau immediately contacted Principal Qin of Beijing Martial Arts University to inquire if Shen Bei was dispatched by Beijing Martial Arts University.

After all, Shen Bei's current identity was still that of a student.

Principal Qin immediately gave an affirmative answer.

Consequently, a group of skilled individuals was quickly assembled and rushed to the scene.

In Principal Qin's eyes, how many days had passed?

About ten days, and he had already uncovered the lair?

It was simply unbelievable.

Of course, Principal Qin was also a bit anxious; Shen Bei was an Eighth Rank Martial Warrior, fighting a Nine-Rank Martial Artist... wasn't that a bit overconfident?

With a sense of unease, Principal Qin frantically rushed into the Riverside Pharmaceutical Factory.

Shen Bei couldn't afford to be in trouble; he was a key person of national interest!

His existence was several levels higher than Liu Hanfeng's.

But when everyone, fully alert and like wolves and tigers, charged into the battle scene,

everyone was stunned.

They saw...

At this moment, Bu Jin's screams were completely drowned out by the thunderous roars.

In the eyes of Principal Qin and the others, the area where Shen Bei and Bu Jin were fighting had sunk deep underground, making it almost impossible to see their figures, only One by one Dragon of wind roaring and circling above the giant pit.

The violent earth tremors, accompanied by the roaring Qi winds, lasted for several breaths. With a whoosh, the earth-shattering momentum slowly subsided, leaving only aftershocks spreading out.

It's over?

Principal Qin and the others exchanged glances, all with expressions of doubt and disbelief.

It should be noted that before the group arrived, the Martial Arts Management Bureau had also used considerable authority to investigate the Riverside Pharmaceutical Factory, based on the informant's claims.

From this, they learned that Wood Lin was not the mastermind; the true power behind the scenes was the Apocalypse Cult, specifically Bu Jin, who held the rank of Bishop!

This Bu Jin had hidden himself very well; he was previously just a funeral home employee.

He had recently resigned.

At the same time, they also found a plane ticket for Bu Jin, flying to a certain European country.

Without a doubt, this guy, Bu Jin, was trying to escape!

This was not the main point.

The main point was that Bu Jin was one of the Twelve Bishops of the Apocalypse Cult!

His strength... was comparable to that of the Eight Great Killers of the Headhunter Tribe!

And Shen Bei was merely an Eighth Rank Martial Warrior.

To say he had little chance of survival would be an exaggeration; it was practically a death sentence!

But now...

The situation on site seemed a bit off.

Principal Qin and the others cautiously approached the massive pit at the site of the battle.

As they drew closer, in the conical deep pit spanning a hundred meters, Shen Bei's figure gradually became visible.

Principal Qin looked closely, and the Bu Jin beneath Shen Bei's feet no longer had a trace of Qi; his body was like a withered corpse, with dense cracks on his skull, and layers of dry, fibrous material clinging to his bones, devoid of any flesh or blood.

At this moment, Bu Jin was impaled by Shen Bei's long saber, and all of Bu Jin's blood, for some unknown reason, had completely dissipated, turning him into a truly mummified corpse, as dead as could be!

Buzz!

When the last vibrations in the air and earth ceased, amidst the swirling wind, a crescent moon-like, arc-shaped saber light, over five meters long, flashed and vanished, instantly causing all the starlight to converge and disappear without a trace.

Shen Bei pulled the long saber from Bu Jin's chest and returned it to its sheath.

At the same time, in the eyes of Principal Qin and the others, a sudden overwhelming power, as if from a direct gaze from a planet, descended.

The unwilling sentiment of sheathed swords and snow-covered blades permeated the air. They could clearly feel that the ringing clang of Shen Bei's long saber seemed to carry a bloodthirsty desire not to return to its sheath.

Starlight connects the long night, saber light flies like snow.

A deep sense of awe involuntarily rose from the hearts of Principal Qin and the other people.

Principal Qin had thought that Shen Bei specialized in hand-to-hand combat, but only now did he realize that the long saber at this Eighth Rank Martial Warrior's waist was not just for show, but possessed such a domineering and ruthless saber technique.

Principal Qin took a deep breath, stood at the edge of the deep pit, glanced at Bu Jin's grotesque, inhuman corpse several times, and then cautiously asked Shen Bei, "Did... did you really kill him?"

Hearing Principal Qin's question, the other people from the Martial Arts Management Bureau and the Patrol Bureau immediately perked up their ears to listen.

Although they arrived late,

according to intelligence, Bu Jin was a Bishop in the Apocalypse Cult!

One could imagine how terrifying Bu Jin's strength must be!

This Bishop could transform into a Blood Sea body, with blood flames leaving his body and bloodlines shooting out—something they had never even heard of, a method no Martial Artist could possess.

Only the Apocalypse Cult could specialize in such unorthodox Dao arts.

"This guy was indeed difficult, but I still dealt with him."

Shen Bei stepped out of the deep pit, looked at Principal Qin, and casually said, "Mission accomplished, prepare to pay up."

Principal Qin swallowed, saying, "Your reward won't be forgotten. Are you alright?"

Principal Qin looked at Shen Bei, who was covered in blood and wounds all over his body. To be injured to this extent and not even utter a sound, he was quite a man.

"If there were no external injuries, that would be more troublesome," Shen Bei replied.

Principal Qin nodded in agreement.

Shen Bei's words were spot on.

If he truly had no external injuries at all, it would inevitably mean severe internal injuries, which would be even more problematic.

After all, Bu Jin was a Nine-Rank Martial Artist; in a life-and-death struggle, it would be absolutely impossible not to get injured.

Even if a Martial God came, they would still sustain some wounds and shed some blood.

Shen Bei didn't want to talk much: "I have an accomplice; I'm going to check on her."

Before his words faded, he had already turned into a wisp of smoke and flew towards the location of the explosion in his memory.

Principal Qin rubbed his face and looked at the captain of the law enforcement team.

The captain nodded, waved his hand: "Seal off the scene, search for Mind's Eye Potion evidence, pull out the list of all company employees, and escort them all back to the Patrol Bureau overnight for separate interrogations!"

"Move out!"

Clatter...

A team of people began to act in an orderly chaos.

Those who needed to arrest people arrested them.

Those who needed to search the scene searched.

As long as any evidence was found proving Riverside Pharmaceutical's involvement in the manufacture of the Mind's Eye Potion, coupled with the death of the mastermind Bu Jin, the dark cloud hanging over everyone's heads could dissipate.

At this moment, Shen Bei arrived at Two Headed Vine's corpse. Her chest had a large hole, and her heart was missing. Moreover, the corpse was extremely pale, with not a drop of blood having flowed from her body.

Recalling Bu Jin's strange methods, Shen Bei could easily imagine where the blood inside her body had gone.

"Can she even be revived from this?"

Shen Bei tilted his head, truly finding it hard to imagine what kind of sophisticated method this would require.

Shen Bei... was quite interested in this.

Wasn't this much stronger than the "Resurrection" Medicinal Pill he had given to Professor Gu Xinrou?

Shen Bei squatted down and patted Two Headed Vine: "Hey, it's over, you can get up now."

"Get up."

"Hey?"

"She's not really dead, is she?"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Shen Bei called out for a long time on the spot, but there was no movement.

Shen Bei scratched his head: "What the hell is going on? She doesn't want her body? Then how can she be revived?"

Perplexing!

It was truly perplexing!

Just then,

a scream suddenly came from afar: "Basement! Someone's resisting! Quick, someone!"
