Chapter 257: Chapter 183: Meeting Again_2

Li Yi’s expression darkened immediately upon hearing these words.

Well, well.

Yang Yilong really did such a shameless thing, after obtaining boxing techniques from me, he turned out to be a middleman, selling the techniques. He set the price at 30 million per copy, showing a real knack for business indeed. With this scheme, he was basically making money from home. However, his wide-scale selling of the techniques was also a case of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Some techniques circulate on the market, but everyone more or less maintains a standard price to ensure cultivators get ample rewards after taking the risk to acquire a new technique. Yang Yilong was disrupting the market and depreciating the value of these techniques.

If everyone started doing this, then who would be willing to take risks to acquire new techniques in the future? They might as well just wait to rob others and become second-hand dealers.

"Fortunately, when I taught him the boxing techniques, I didn’t teach everything, I kept some back. Otherwise, I’d be furious if I heard this news today." Li Yi felt he should do something, he couldn’t let Yang Yilong continue to be so rampant.

At this moment, Jin Zhong, seeing that Li Yi seemed distracted and lost in thought, didn’t say a second word, suddenly stood up, and bolted from there.

Having killed so many people, surrendering was out of the question, and falling into the hands of the Investigation Bureau would mean no good end. He might as well go for broke and escape to the Danger Zone and hide out; if he was lucky he might even survive. Moreover, there were more than just him fleeing to Tianchang City. There were plenty of fugitives.

"Bang!"

However, just as Jin Zhong had not gone far from his getaway, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

At the same moment the gunshot sounded, a bullet had already pierced through Jin Zhong’s chest. At this instant, his eyes widened in disbelief as he fell to the ground, his body convulsing unnaturally as his life force rapidly ebbed away.

"You see, I told you not to resist, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you’ve been shot," Li Yi shook his head as he saw this. "You had a chance at life and you didn’t take it. I really can’t understand you. Those people before were even more vicious, wanting to kill even the investigators. Sometimes I really wonder if Earth Prisoners are inherently evil."

Jin Zhong couldn’t respond to Li Yi anymore, as he was already dead, no longer breath.

"Li Yi, is the criminal dead?" Zheng Gong’s voice came through the phone.

"Dead as a doornail. Bring his body back to wrap up the case," Li Yi said. "The past few days patrolling the Ruined District, it’s been one thing or another, either intercepting criminals or breaking up conflicts. So much so that I haven’t even hunted a single Fierce Beast."

"Can’t help it, the situation is chaotic at the moment, and there have been more murders in the city. We investigators need to resolve these quickly, or if order is disrupted, it will be terrible," Zheng Gong was speaking while driving back.

As the car stopped, he bagged the criminal’s body, threw it onto the car, quickly wrote a death report, reported back to his superiors, and considered the mission completed.

"Li Yi, get in the car. Our shift ends at six this evening. After that, we can try taking on a different mission," Zheng Gong said.

"That’s the only option," Li Yi nodded.

Quickly.

The two drove out of the Ruined District, with the journey remaining peaceful without any incident.

The vehicle smoothly arrived at the city’s defensive line, where they, as usual, underwent an inspection before being allowed to pass through.

However, as they were being inspected, Li Yi noticed another convoy nearby drawing a large crowd; the gatherers were buyers lingering in the area, seemingly someone had returned from the Danger Zone, bringing back quite a few catches.

"I’m offering 200 million for this Extraordinary Creature’s corpse."

"Sell me those Fierce Beasts, I’m willing to pay 12 million."

"A live Extraordinary Creature? That’s great, this is what I’ve been waiting for, my offer is 500 million."

"..."

Various offers and shouts continued nonstop.

Li Yi was originally not too interested in this matter, but the price doubling for a live Extraordinary Creature piqued his curiosity.

Who exactly was it with such formidable strength to have successfully brought back a live Extraordinary Creature from the Danger Zone?

Knowing the terrifying life force and strength of an Extraordinary Creature, even Spiritual Perception Masters could be killed upon encountering one. To hunt them, there must be no mercy; they must be completely eradicated to avoid any chance of being killed by the Extraordinary Creature in a desperate counterattack. So, many would bring back the Extraordinary Creature’s corpse to ensure no accidents, rather than a live one.

"Zheng Gong, there’s quite a buzz over there, I’m going to have a look," Li Yi said.

"Okay, I’ll wait here for the inspection to finish, and I’ll call you," Zheng Gong nodded.

After saying his goodbyes, Li Yi, driven by curiosity, made his way over, using his height advantage to squeeze into the crowd, quickly seeing that in the open space ahead, there were many Fierce Beast corpses piling up; at least twenty or thirty, these bodies together looked like a small mountain and were worth several billion.

But what was truly valuable were the other three Extraordinary Creatures, two of which were dead, but one was still alive. That Extraordinary Creature looked like a hairless wild man, resembling a human by seventy to eighty percent, with a burly stature; one arm was as thick as a man’s thigh, looking incredibly fierce.

However, the live Extraordinary Creature was now severely injured; its legs were chopped off by something, one arm hanging limply with no strength, its entire body softened and without the will to resist.
