473: Shocking all, the Four Great Constables of the Six Doors appeared.
"Hmph, Junior Brother Feng, you wouldn't seriously believe such baseless rumors, would you?"
"We've already wasted enough time here. We should hurry to the Kingdom of Dali." Bu Jingyun said with a cold expression.
Although Nie Feng wanted to say more, he realized the most important matter at hand was indeed to go to the Kingdom of Dali and meet that Prince Kaoshan of Dali.
After receiving the news, they had been dispatched to the Central Plains by their Master, Tyrant. The rumors along the way had been constantly changing, far more shocking than the information they had received.
Therefore, the priority now was to quickly meet this King Kaoshan. It would be best if they could reach a cooperation agreement; even if they couldn't, they must not offend him.
This matter was of the utmost importance.
However, this other matter had already taken root in his heart. Because Duan Zhengchun had also mentioned that his own calamity lay in Peerless City.
Peerless City and the World Society are thousands of miles from the Central Plains. Yet this person could have such a clear, insightful view of their affairs. Who exactly is this person?
What level of strength does he possess?
However, this matter must not be known by a fourth person. Otherwise, given their Master's suspicious nature, even though they are Master and disciple, they would likely face severe consequences.
Just as Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were about to leave, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Their expressions changed. Exchanging a glance, they immediately used their Movement Technique to flee.
"Who goes there? Halt..."
"You few, stay here. The rest, follow me in pursuit..."
"Yes..."
The newcomers were none other than the Four Great Divine Constables of Six Doors: Ruthless, Cold Blood, Iron Hand, and Life Chaser.
Iron Hand and Life Chaser led men in pursuit, while Cold Blood and Ruthless stayed behind, heading directly into the woods.
Although they were mentally prepared, when they saw the scene, their faces instantly changed.
Ruthless almost couldn't hold back from vomiting on the spot. Even the usually indifferent Cold Blood turned pale, forcefully suppressing a wave of nausea.
The scene was too horrific, too gruesome to look at. None of the deceased had intact bodies; they were torn apart, some without even a single piece of whole flesh remaining.
"It's too brutal. Who could have done this? Killing so many people at once, and with such cruel methods." Ruthless frowned.
"Unclear. It's likely related to the Golden Light earlier. It's possible these people fought over the object emitting that Golden Light, leading to this situation." Cold Blood analyzed with a frown.
"What exactly was that Golden Light?" Ruthless frowned in thought.
"Unclear. It seems the only way to find out is to catch those two men from earlier." Cold Blood shook his head.
"First, let's see what weapon these people died from." Ruthless said.
Cold Blood stepped forward to examine the victims' wounds, but his brow remained deeply furrowed.
With his knowledge, he actually couldn't tell what kind of weapon caused these deaths. This was too bizarre.
"Strange..."
"What is it?" Ruthless asked.
"I actually can't identify the weapon that caused these." Cold Blood looked at Ruthless with a grave expression.
Ruthless's face changed. She quickly stepped forward to observe the wounds. They were incredibly sharp, with no outward tearing of the flesh. This didn't match any weapon she knew of.
Even the Golden Silk Threads of the Western Regions couldn't cause such wounds. What weapon could have done this?
"Strange, what weapon caused this?"
"Given our knowledge, we can't even tell. It seems we can only take these remains back and ask the Divine Constable if he can recognize them."
"I hope Life Chaser and Iron Hand can catch up to those two." Ruthless frowned.
As they spoke, the sound of rushing air was heard. Iron Hand and Life Chaser had returned. Seeing them return empty-handed and pale-faced, Ruthless's expression immediately changed.
"What happened? Did you fail?" Ruthless frowned.
"Those two were... unusual. It was like they were specifically countering us. One had a Movement Technique stronger than mine, the other had palm techniques stronger than Iron Hand's. Their strength actually reached the Great Grandmaster Realm." Life Chaser said with a look of frustration.
"Within the Martial World, there shouldn't be anyone who surpasses you two in those aspects. And judging by their age earlier, they weren't old, yet they possess Great Grandmaster-level strength."
"Could they be from another country?" Ruthless frowned.
"I've never seen these two before. They likely aren't from our Martial World." Iron Hand said.
"People from outside the Martial World? That would explain it. However, we still need to investigate their identities upon our return." Ruthless said.
At that moment, Life Chaser and Iron Hand also caught the strong scent of blood and began walking towards the woods.
"Don't..."
Ruthless tried to stop them, but it was too late.
"Holy shit... Ugh..."
Life Chaser was the first to lose control and vomited.
Iron Hand's face turned ashen as he turned and retreated, taking a deep breath to suppress the discomfort in his heart.
A faint smile touched Cold Blood's lips, while Ruthless frowned slightly but said nothing. Life Chaser's personality had always been rather flippant.
Moreover, this guy was a bit of a neat freak. An ordinary scene wouldn't affect him like this. But even she had almost failed to hold back from vomiting at this sight.
Let alone a carefree fellow like Life Chaser.
"Ruthless, what on earth happened here? Who... whose handiwork is this? To be so bloody." Iron Hand took a deep breath and looked at Ruthless.
"Unclear. The wounds are too sharp. I can't tell what weapon caused them either." Ruthless shook her head.
Iron Hand was taken aback. Lightly suppressing his discomfort, he approached the bodies and frowned, observing the wounds on them.
They could hardly be called bodies anymore; they were more like chunks of meat.
Seeing these wounds, Iron Hand's expression also turned grave.
He was called Iron Hand not just for his formidable palm techniques, but also because he was a Master craftsman. The equipment of the Four Great Divine Constables of Six Doors was personally forged by him.
Even Ruthless's Mind-Controlled Wheelchair was crafted by him. He could be said to have an understanding of all the weapons under heaven.
However, the wounds on these bodies before him did not belong to any known weapon.
"Strange. Even I can't tell what weapon caused these."
"However, it's not necessarily impossible for a human to cause them."
"Ruthless, tell me, is it possible this was caused by a powerful Sword Qi?" Iron Hand looked at Ruthless.
"Sword Qi? Does such Sword Qi exist in this world?" Ruthless frowned.
"If it's powerful enough, naturally it can be done."
"However, from the looks of it now, these people's deaths were not the work of those two who just left." Iron Hand thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Hmm, indeed. If those two had killed these people, they wouldn't have run upon seeing us."
"Leaving aside their superior strength, just their Great Grandmaster Realm cultivation means that even if the four of us joined forces, we might not be their match."
"There was no need for them to run from us." Life Chaser nodded in agreement.
"But if we want to know the truth of this matter, aside from the murderer, only those two hold the answer." Ruthless took a deep breath, her tone solemn.
"We should return and ask the Divine Marquis to decide on this matter. Also, portraits of those two men; perhaps the Divine Marquis has information." Cold Blood spoke up at this point.
"That seems to be the only option now. Have people come to handle the scene." Ruthless nodded.
The four left the scene. Soon, constables from Six Doors would arrive to deal with matters here.
