Chapter 95: Chapter 80: A Scare Without Danger (Alliance Leader Bonus: An S-Class Single Ghost Appears)

"He’s fallen into the trap."

Facing an attack from an expert in the Spiritual Realm, Li Yi felt no fear at all, his figure retreating explosively as he quickly moved closer to the White Jade Skull Mural behind him.

By harnessing the power of the Mysterious Object to take down the leader of the group, the crisis for the others should be resolved.

That’s what Li Yi thought.

"Where do you think you can run to?"

Wei Bin roared, unwilling to let Li Yi, the provocateur, escape unscathed.

"Such speed."

Li Yi’s expression changed slightly as he felt a gust of wind hit his face even before being reached.

Even though everyone’s physique appeared similar, Wei Bin gave off the impression of an Extraordinary Creature, capable of unleashing terrifying power beyond imagination. If they were to fight face-to-face, Li Yi, despite his Boxing skills, would be killed in one strike, with no chance for an upset.

It’s a gap in physical foundation, not something that can be compensated for with the power of Techniques.

"But no matter how strong this guy is, he’ll still fall prey to the Bone Illusion Realm," Li Yi was agitated, yet still believed that Wei Bin would fall into the trap.

However, just as he thought this.

A dazzling burst of energy erupted from Wei Bin’s body, propelling him forward with a force like an explosion of Jin Qi, accelerating drastically in midair. His speed was so incredible that he seemed to vanish from sight, and by the time he could be clearly seen again, Wei Bin had already closed the gap with Li Yi.

"Huh?"

Li Yi’s pupils suddenly narrowed, startled by this unexpected change.

"Not good."

He then realized the danger and wanted to defend himself, but it was too late, and a strong killing intent had already locked onto him.

There was no escape.

At this moment, Li Yi had underestimated an expert of the Spiritual Realm. Even if Wei Bin rushed into the building and got sucked into the illusion of the Bone Mural, he could kill Li Yi before that happened.

"Die!"

Wei Bin bellowed, swiping a palm towards Li Yi’s forehead with tremendous force, raising his hand with a whooshing sound as if the air was being ripped apart.

But just as disaster loomed, a somewhat rough large hand materialized behind Li Yi, forcefully grabbing his shoulder and pulling him backward.

At the same time, a figure flashed into position, raising a hand in a counterstrike.

Boom!

Two terrible forces collided, Jin Qi scattering in all directions, the ground shaking followed by ripples that spawned a windstorm of dust, making it impossible to keep one’s eyes open.

"I’m not dead yet; to think you would dare strike against one of my Investigation Bureau, Wei Bin, you’re too impatient."

A steady voice sounded as Zhang Lei, who had previously been entrapped in the Bone Illusion Realm, now stood in front of Li Yi, having successfully repelled the assaulting Wei Bin with one blow.

Caught off guard, Wei Bin couldn’t stop his backwards flight and shattered glass as he fell from the ninth floor.

"Zhang Lei?"

Surprised and furious, he fell, but he wasn’t panicked. He swiftly adjusted his posture in midair, then a surge of energy burst forth from his body, allowing him to pivot in midair before safely landing on the ground.

"Damn, the intelligence was wrong; this guy is still alive and kicking."

Wei Bin bit down on his teeth, furious inside.

The other drifters’ complexions changed drastically upon seeing this.

They could bully newcomers like Li Yi, Fan Feng, and Zheng Gong, but faced with the captain of the Investigation Bureau, they all felt fear and dared not be arrogant.

At this moment.

Inside the building.

After repelling Wei Bin, Zhang Lei quickly turned and said, "Li Yi, are you okay? No injuries?"

"I’m fine, I wasn’t hurt, but it’s a pity we couldn’t take the opportunity to get rid of him," said Li Yi, his gaze cold, still thinking about the missed chance to blow Wei Bin’s mind.

"Haha, you deliberately provoked Wei Bin, trying to draw him into the building and use the illusion of the Bone Mural to eliminate him, right? Good idea, the chance of success was there, but you underestimated Wei Bin. He has mastered the Guiding Skill, unlocking the potential of his body, making his strength surpass that of the typical Spiritual Realm Cultivator. You miscalculated," Zhang Lei said.

Zhang Lei laughed heartily and looked at Li Yi with great admiration.

Although it was dangerous just now, Li Yi, a cultivator who had just awakened as a Spirit Medium, dared to think about taking down a master at the Spiritual Realm. Such courage and audacity were truly extraordinary.

It seemed that his decision to bring him into the Investigation Bureau was the right choice indeed.

Given time, Li Yi would surely become a fierce combatant in the Investigation Bureau.

"I miscalculated on my own, and fortunately, you as the captain appeared just in time; otherwise, I would have definitely died," Li Yi said, also feeling somewhat frightened now.

He still lacked experience and hadn’t witnessed the strength of someone at the Spiritual Realm, so his calculations failed.

"You’ve done well enough. You not only successfully broke the illusion and rescued everyone trapped here but also successfully delayed time, blocking Wei Bin and that group of wanderers. These people have been moving between dangerous zones and the Ruined District, doing all sorts of things, and have caused a great deal of trouble for the Investigation Bureau."

Zhang Lei’s gaze grew stern.

Whenever he mentioned Wei Bin and his gang, his mood soured.

However, due to the situation, he hadn’t been able to find the right opportunity to get rid of these people.

But he also understood that the reason Wei Bin and his gang could survive wasn’t solely due to strength. Another reason was that Tianchang City needed a group of cultivators who operated in the grey areas. Even without Wei Bin, other people would pop up.

"Alright, now’s not the time to talk about this. After handling the immediate issue, we’ll discuss the Bone Mural. Li Yi, follow me out to meet them," Zhang Lei said and immediately took action.

"Alright."

Li Yi nodded. With Zhang Lei leading, he felt much more at ease and followed closely behind with his sniper rifle in tow.

All along the way,

investigators and external combat personnel who had been separated within the building also gathered together.

Among them were Zhang Zhixiong and the foreign combatant Master Pete. Liu Yue, Wang Jian, Chen Hao, and others who had fallen into the Bone Illusion Realm with Li Yi were also unharmed. They were inadvertently spared from a crisis induced by the Mysterious Object.

Even so, the Investigation Bureau still suffered considerable personnel losses on this trip.

When Zhang Lei exited the building, he already had over ten members by his side. Although the number was less than Wei Bin’s group, the Investigation Bureau’s core forces were present and were not outmatched by the opposition.

The tactic of overwhelming the enemy with sheer force was no longer effective.

"Now, this is trouble."

Daozi, who had originally planned to kill the sniper Fan Feng, immediately retreated upon realizing the shift in circumstances.

He didn’t dare to make a move, fearing that he would provoke Zhang Lei.

The other wanderers, facing the arrival of Captain Zhang Lei leading the team, also began to hesitate and were unwilling to clash head-on with the Investigation Bureau’s personnel.

"Wei Bin, come over here. Don’t you like to fight? Well, come on, I’ll be your opponent. Let’s see how your Guiding Skill’s cultivation has been. Whether you can kill me or not," Zhang Lei commanded in a deep voice, his booming tone intimidating.

"Zhang Lei, with only this many people from the Investigation Bureau, I doubt you can keep this Mysterious Object safe. Just now, I’ve already informed the people from the Cultivator Association. I think Li Shaqing will be very interested in this place. He has everything but lacks a Mysterious Object. Once he knows of this, do you think he will make a move?" Wei Bin sneered, not daring to confront Zhang Lei.

It wasn’t that he lacked the confidence to fight Zhang Lei; it was that there was someone in Zhang Lei’s team who posed a great threat to him.

The top sniper of Tianchang City, known for treating the trajectory of a bullet as a path of cultivation, the Cultivator in a Daoist robe, Master Pete.

"Zhang Lei, why waste words on this trash? Let’s wipe them out before the people from the Cultivator Association arrive. Just hold Wei Bin off, and with one shot, I can send him to the west to meet The Buddha. Once he’s dead, leave his body to me. I’ll give him a proper sending off, ensuring he descends into the Eighteen Layers of Hell, never to be reincarnated," Master Pete, although dressed in a Daoist robe, had a fiery temper, and heaved a heavy sniper rifle on his back. His pale blue eyes were as sharp as those of a hawk, locking onto Wei Bin.

Li Yi’s eyelids twitched at this moment as he looked at Master Pete with some surprise.

This foreign Taoist didn’t speak a foreign language but fluent Chinese, and as a person of cultivation, he was actually a formidable sniper. Was it he who was out of touch, or had the world really changed so much?

Zhang Lei’s gaze flickered at this moment, neither objecting to nor rejecting Master Pete’s suggestion.

Today was indeed a good opportunity to strike.

However, eliminating this group would certainly mean some further losses to the Investigation Bureau’s investigators, a scenario he didn’t want to see happen.

"Better a painful end than pain without end, paying a small price today to wipe out this gang will save the Investigation Bureau future trouble," Zhang Lei thought briefly and gradually came to a decision.
