Chapter 439 This Cop Can’t Be Touched For Now

Almost the instant the man moved, a burst of light flared within Zeng Xiaomei’s phoenix eyes. Her cultivation power surged once again to its peak, concentrating in her palms as she shot towards the man with the speed of lightning.

"Thump!!"

"Thump!"

With a dull thud, in a split second, Zeng Xiaomei’s figure was violently thrown into the distance, crashing to the ground with a heavy sound. At the same time, she let out a muffled grunt, and the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth began to flow even more copiously.

On the other hand, the man with the scar’s expression was extremely unsightly. He truly hadn’t expected that Zeng Xiaomei, even after being injured, could still unleash such a formidable energy. His face turned pale as he staggered back seven or eight steps before he could barely steady himself.

"Hmph, Officer Zeng truly deserves to be the top person in the police force, with profound cultivation power. If I didn’t have some skills myself, I might have actually been taken down here today," he uttered with a condescending tone after taking a moment to catch his breath and regulate it.

"However, it’s a pity that with your little skills, it seems you are still not qualified to claim that you can apprehend us!"

The man with the scar’s tone carried a hint of mockery and ridicule.

"Big Brother, you’re too impressive!"

"Big Brother, you’re too mighty, actually managing to take down this damned cop!"

"........."

Even the dullest of the scarred man’s companions could now realize one thing—that their boss was even more formidable than Zeng Xiaomei, the monstrous female officer, having taken her down and inflicted serious injuries!

They could never have imagined that their usually reticent boss possessed such a terrifying strength, to have bested such a formidable policewoman. They all showed an expression of disbelief mixed with an indescribable excitement on their faces.

"Third Brother, you alright?"

Just then, a rustling sound emanated from the nearby woods, followed by a muffled voice. A man about forty with an eyepatch emerged from within the trees, his lone insightful eye scanning the scene before settling on the man with the scar.

"Boss, you’re here. I’m fine, but this cop really did have some strength. I nearly got hurt trying to subdue her," the scarred man said with a relieved expression as he saw the man with the eyepatch, approaching to greet him and gesturing towards Zeng Xiaomei on the ground, seeking guidance with a questioning tone, "Boss, how should we deal with this Officer Zeng?"

Looking at the man with the eyepatch who suddenly appeared, Zeng Xiaomei’s heart instantly sank to the abyss. At this point, she had already sustained serious injuries, making escape incredibly difficult, and now, a high-tier expert had unexpectedly joined the mix!

Despite her injuries, she couldn’t fully determine the new man’s strength, but from the aura emanating from his body, she knew that his strength was definitely not inferior to hers or the scarred man’s.

There was still someone here, waiting!

Then... they must have intentionally come this way...

Almost instantaneously, Zeng Xiaomei had a realization, and her heart was suddenly overwhelmed with even more regret. She had only been focused on chasing these people and hadn’t considered the possibility that they might have backup!

Moreover, as they fled into these impoverished mountains, she had simply thought they were running blindly......

Immediately, the man with the eye patch confirmed her suspicions.

"I’m glad you’re alright. After receiving your call and not seeing you for so long, I was worried something had happened to you. So, I came out to check on how you all were doing," he said.

The man with the eye patch glanced at Zeng Xiaomei dismissively before turning his attention back to the scarred man and nodding.

"I’m fine, I just didn’t expect to get held up by a car on the road, nor did I expect this Miss Zeng to be so desperate. That’s why we ended up cornered by this ’damn cop’ and had to fight with all we had," he said.

The scar-faced man, sensing the care in the eye patch man’s gaze, smiled gratefully and added.

After speaking, he looked back at Zeng Xiaomei, with a lewd smile appearing in his eyes, and said, "Boss, what should we do with this ’damn cop’? Why not just kill her off?"

Hearing the scar-faced man’s words, Zeng Xiaomei involuntarily shivered, and a cold terror she had never felt before surged through her almost instantly.

Her eyes flashed with a hint of struggle......

At this moment, she had stopped thinking about escape altogether. With just the scar-faced man, there might have been a sliver of chance, but now, with the addition of this unfathomable man with the eye patch, she knew there was absolutely no possibility!

But... was she really destined to not escape her fate today?

If she were to die like this......

She was filled with so much unwillingness, not because she feared death, but because she was still so young. She had so many unfulfilled wishes, and she had not yet destroyed this wicked and elusive child trafficking ring...

She had not yet reached the High Tier of the Bone Tempering Period to taste the feeling of looking down upon all beings......

And... if she were to die, what would happen to Xiaoxiao, the girl who so depended on her since her mother’s early passing? She knew Xiaoxiao would be devastated...

Plus... the girl was always hanging around that Xiao surname kid, who was up to no good. Having gotten into Z University, he still didn’t appreciate the rare opportunity, didn’t study diligently at school, and roamed around the campus instead. She had encountered him several times already......

What if Xiaoxiao got deceived by him?

Alas...... If she had known, she would have hardened her heart from the beginning and kept that kid far away from Xiaoxiao, preventing them from continuing their closeness...

The man with the eye patch glared at the scar-faced man, but his tone carried little reproach, "You can’t kill this cop... not yet," he said.

Upon hearing this statement from the man with the eye patch, Zeng Xiaomei let out a long sigh of relief. Although she knew it was only a temporary respite, she still felt a wave of relaxation wash over her. At least for now, it seemed she had narrowly escaped disaster. She was about to listen further, to find out what else the man with the eye patch would say, why he would momentarily spare her, when suddenly her vision blurred, a pain struck her forehead, and she lost consciousness completely.
