40: Chapter 40 This guy can't possibly be an intern?!

"Intern..."

These three words were like three heavy slaps to the face, making Huang Lang and Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang feel a stinging sensation on their faces.

An intern, easily severing the arm of a Foundation Establishment Stage Early Stage Cultivator—how the hell could this be an intern?

Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang knew very well that interns at the Justice Bureau of the Ninth Safe Zone were at most at Qi Refining Stage 2; as long as they exceeded Qi Refining Stage 2, they could become full-time employees.

It was just that the two of them really couldn't see through the kid in front of them...

They wondered, could it be... that this kid was really an intern?

Could he have practiced some special combat technique?

Dongying Ninjutsu?

Thinking of this, Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang's palms fluttered as he gathered Spiritual Qi, his eyes fixed intently on Su Fan: "In my life, I, Liu, have hated the Dongying devils the most. You kid actually stole and learned Dongying Ninjutsu. Today, I, Liu, will eliminate a traitor to the country for Great Xia!!!"

Su Fan picked his ear, almost suspecting he had misheard, "What Dongying Ninjutsu? Why would I bother learning that junk? This sword technique of mine is called 'Green Fire Nether Art'. Of course, if you don't understand, forget it; I can't be bothered to explain it to you..."

Speaking of which, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "By the way, Deputy Director Liu, I almost forgot to ask, if I catch you two and take you to the Justice Bureau... what grade of merit would that count as?"

"..."

Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang and Huang Lang exchanged glances, and then, Huang Lang laughed heartily: "So you kid was only so fast because you stole and learned Dongying Ninjutsu. Today, you severed one of my arms..."

"I admit, I was careless just now, but next, you will experience what it means to be skinned and have your tendons pulled, to be sliced to pieces... I will make you, kid, taste every torture in this world!"

After speaking, the yellow hair on Huang Lang's head exploded upwards as if in a fit of rage. He took a bronze-ringed broadsword handed to him by his subordinate with one hand. The blade shimmered with a cold light, and a faint glow radiated around it. At a glance, the broadsword looked extremely sharp and ferocious...

Seeing this, Su Fan did not feel fear but instead shifted his gaze to Qin Xiaoxiao's face, revealing a relaxed smile: "Section Chief Qin, if I catch these two, is there a second-class merit?"

Qin Xiaoxiao recovered from her shock, looked back at Su Fan, and shook her head, "Our bureau doesn't have set merit grades. These two are both A-rank wanted felons. As long as you catch them, the bonus, honor, and promotion will all be guaranteed..."

"Only A-rank..."

He seemed somewhat disappointed, but Su Fan quickly lifted his head, smiling at the two A-rank wanted criminals, and then walked over slowly with empty hands...

"A-rank is still considered a big fish!"

As soon as his voice fell, he was seen flashing directly to Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang's side...

Using a speed even faster than before, he grabbed Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang's arm, lifted his entire body, and slammed him violently onto the ground!

Simple. Brutal. Direct. Without any technique.

Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang almost wanted to laugh. Is this a kid's fight? To actually use such a crude combat technique like a body slam?

However, he couldn't laugh for long! Because he discovered that he couldn't move at all.

His whole body felt as if it had been welded shut; it was stiff and could not move in the slightest.

He hurriedly urged his Spiritual Qi to protect his body, but a large palm struck out of nowhere. With a 'pop', it easily shattered his Spiritual Qi barrier, as simple as popping a balloon...

"You kid... what exactly is your cultivation level..."

Before Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang finished speaking, his whole body was smashed into the ground!

The next moment, a large crater was smashed into the ground, and he was covered in blood from being slammed!

He desperately urged his Spiritual Qi to protect his body, but it was completely useless...

The protective barrier that was usually harder than a Golden Bell Shield was, in Su Fan's hands, as easy to break as a balloon. In a short while, he was slammed until he was dizzy, his internal organs felt like they were shattered, and even his Dantian was almost smashed...

Huang Lang took advantage of this opportunity to try a sneak attack...

Su Fan lifted his foot and, with a casual kick, sent him flying into the sky!

"Fly... fly, fly, fly! Old Liu, hurry and fly up! He can't fly!!!"

Huang Lang shouted at the ground. Hearing this reminder, Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang roared and then shot up into the sky, flying to a high altitude.

Huang Lang was stepping on a skateboard, while he was stepping on a Flying Sword, and the two looked down in a sorry state.

"Hahahaha! Kid, I admit your combat techniques are very strong, but after all, you still can't beat us Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators. We can fly; can you fly?"

Huang Lang seemed to have a natural optimistic spirit; even after having one arm crippled, he could still talk and laugh freely.

"Kid! No more nonsense with you, die!"

Huang Lang and Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang crazily launched Spell after Spell downwards, wanting to kill Su Fan. After all, both of them still thought Su Fan only had strong combat techniques, while his cultivation Realm was still at the Qi Refinement Stage.

And below, Su Fan lifted his eyes to gaze into the Void Realm, and then, a smile surfaced on the corner of his mouth: "Who said I... can't fly?"

As he spoke, he was seen shooting straight up into the sky from where he stood, without stepping on any object. After flying to a high altitude, not only did he dodge the Spells launched by the two opponents, but he also urged the Fire Spirit Root Spiritual Qi within his body, and as his palms fluttered, streams of fire Spells shot onto the two of them.

The speed of his Spells was faster than the speed of ground combat; Huang Lang and Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang had no way to dodge, and flames ignited on both of their bodies.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Scream after scream, the scene of the two being burned was seen by the personnel of both sides below.

Everyone looked at this scene in shock.

However, Su Fan controlled the size of the flames; he did not intend to burn the two to death...

"Get down there!!!"

Su Fan flew over, leaped to them, and kicked Huang Lang and Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang. The two instantly fell to the ground, at which point they were still screaming frantically...

"Withdraw!!!"

Su Fan retracted the fire Spells; the two were already scorched all over, looking miserable.

"You, you, you, exactly what... is your cultivation level?"

The yellow hair on Huang Lang's head was burned, making popping and crackling sounds, and his two black-and-white eyes looked at Su Fan in fear.

This question was also what everyone present, including Qin Xiaoxiao, wanted to ask.

Yeah, Su Fan... what exactly was his cultivation level?

He could actually fly without needing to control an object. Of course, the Foundation Establishment Stage could also do that, but it could only be sustained for a few seconds. Yet he just now... not only did not need to control an object, but could also smoothly complete a series of Spell launches—this was too terrifying, right?

"Why ask so much? Yellow-hair, Liu Yang, you two are under arrest!"

Su Fan looked back at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Go get the Spiritual Shackles!"

"I have some here."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know where she pulled out two pairs of silver-white handcuffs and threw them to Su Fan.

However, these were not ordinary handcuffs, but Spiritual Shackles, specifically used to shackle Cultivators.

Su Fan took the Spiritual Shackles and first shackled the writhing Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang on the ground...

And just at this moment, they heard Qin Xiaoxiao shout, "Not good! He's going to run!"

Su Fan looked up and saw that the yellow-haired man was actually stepping on his skateboard, flying into mid-air, and fleeing desperately...
