I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 188: [162] A Sword rides the wind and thunder, Master Chang bids you to embrace death (Seeking monthly votes, recommendations, and support)_1
The night had fallen.

A skirmish quietly unfolded on Tian Dong Road.

“Another one is dead!” The middle-aged butler, upon seeing a person from Sky God International mercilessly eliminated, suddenly looked as if he had seen a ghost.

“What on earth was that… thing just now?”

He completely failed to understand, staring at “Jiang Qingcang” who was calmly seated on the sofa, unable to comprehend the existence of such a thing in this world.

However, the master sat there silent, his expression slightly more composed.

The middle-aged butler swallowed, his throat moving as he glanced back at the screen and the fleeting shadow, merely to witness several more lives taken in the blink of an eye, which instantly filled him with panic again.

Since when did such monsters hide in Da Peng City?

Who had bred them?

How long had they been bred?

Countless thoughts raced through the middle-aged butler’s mind, inadvertently making him shiver from head to toe.

So, what exactly did the other party want to do?

Rule the world?

Pei Jinye quietly watched the screen.

He had no idea what Sky God International was up to.

Didn’t they send any experts?

The one-sided massacre didn’t even force out the big one hiding behind the scenes.

Self-righteous Sky God International was doomed to a tragic ending tonight.

“What a bunch of waste.”

Upon hearing the master’s words, the middle-aged butler couldn’t help but ask, “Master, should we notify the Night Patrol Department?”

“Hm?”

Pei Jinye, hearing this, did not object, but slightly lowered his head, his gaze flickering as he swiftly considered the suggestion in his mind.

Compared to an ordinary person, Pei Jinye’s brain was functioning like a high-speed computer at this moment.

The pros and cons flashed by in a single thought.

He immediately decided, “Contact them in secret, whether it’s Sky God International or the true masters behind these monsters… we shouldn’t let them notice us.”

“Yes, Master, I know what to do,” the middle-aged butler quickly went to make arrangements.

After he had left.

The room was left with only Pei Jinye alone.

In the video, the people from the Jiang family were beginning to retreat.

But suddenly.

A voice that Pei Jinye was all too familiar with came from off-camera.

Teacher Chang!!!

“It seems there’s still a fly here.”

The camera fell and turned, and before it could capture the person’s face, a spurt of hot blood blurred the lens.

With a “crack,” the entire lens shattered.

The screen filled with countless flecks of static.

Pei Jinye’s expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

In fact.

Since the people from Sky God International were eradicated by a group of mutated octopuses, he had already known the outcome.

It was just a pity that a major figure from the Jiang family had been lost, one he had found quite handy to use.

What a pity.

Pei Jinye stared at the static-filled screen with interest.

His gaze shifted.

Looking out at the night scene beyond the gauzy curtain.

He waited in silence.

“The night is too peaceful today, only lacking a display of fireworks.”

Inside the office of the Governor at City Hall.

When Zhou Weiren heard Secretary Lin’s words, he immediately sneered, “The dead are to be respected? With just that phrase, he thinks he can erase all the evil deeds Jiang Suhu has done in the past?”

“It’s just too bad… the evidence is insufficient.” Secretary Lin sighed, “Calm down, Governor. With Jiang Suhu dead, the Jiang family is probably panicking, and they’ve quieted down quite a bit recently.”

Zhou Weiren reined in his temper, asking sternly, “Has the murderer been confirmed yet?”

“Not yet.”

“Then let’s leave it at that.”

Secretary Lin was momentarily stunned.

Zhou Weiren said irritably, “What’s the point of wasting so much police effort? Just manage the investigation properly on the surface, and let the Jiang family deal with the rest.”

Secretary Lin couldn’t help but smile wryly.

If these shocking words were to get out, they’d definitely cause a huge commotion.

But of course, such conversations were only meant for private quarters.

Once he stepped out that door, Zhou Weiren would certainly not acknowledge them.

Waving his hand, Zhou Weiren said, “We’ve worked overtime today; everyone can leave now.”

“With the Governor working so diligently, the higher-ups will surely take note,” Secretary Lin said with a flattering smile.

“You just know what I like to hear,” Zhou Weiren chided with a laugh, “Everyone, get off work.”

“Alright, Governor.”

Zhou Weiren tidied the documents on his desk.

If it weren’t for the sheer number of recent events, he wouldn’t be working overtime so constantly on edge.

The Wei Family’s young master was suspected of having been killed by Gu Shaoshang.

Now, the suspect has seemingly retaliated and murdered Second Group Leader Xie Zuxin from the investigation team.

And there were those from the Old Gods Association who had gone missing…

One thing after another had left Zhou Weiren with a lot on his plate.

It was about time that things were wrapping up.

However, just as he was thinking this, Secretary Lin, who had just left, hurried back in, “Governor, something else has happened.”

Zhou Weiren’s heart skipped a beat.

A moment later.

Zhou Weiren uttered just two words.

“Thorough investigation!”

It didn’t take long.

Tian Dong Road was sealed off.

Five minutes later, gunfire erupted, covering the area in endless fire power.

After ten minutes, Sword Qi engulfed the surroundings as powerful swordsmen from the Federation were dispatched.

Thirty minutes later.

Half of Tian Dong district became ruins.

Residents within a thirty-mile radius kept their doors tightly shut, not daring to peek outside.

At 10:49 p.m. that same evening, Zhou Weiren personally went to the central command center.

The person in charge of the operation had given way from a district-level commander of the Night Patrol to the Chief of Da Peng City Night Patrol, raising the level of urgency and thus alarming Zhou Weiren.

Zhou Weiren had also not expected the situation to develop to such an extent.

He had originally thought it was just some civilian conflict.

But he heard that two deputy chiefs of the Night Patrol had been seriously injured. By the time he had reached his own building, he immediately had his driver take him here.

“What exactly is the situation? Who is the other party?”

But the result he got was… the other party’s identity was unknown, their strength overwhelming, their methods extremely cruel, with at least Third Rank standards.

What caught Zhou Weiren’s attention was, “You mean to say there’s a secret laboratory hidden here, and it’s this laboratory that bred these monsters?”

“Governor, if nothing unexpected happens, this is the truth!”

Zhou Weiren was shocked, “Breeding such monsters absolutely cannot be successful in a short period of time, which means this place had this laboratory a long time ago!”

At this point.

Even Zhou Weiren’s voice began to tremble.

He was very angry.

Angry that someone under his watch was engaging in activities explicitly forbidden by the Federation, harboring ill intentions!

Even more furious that someone had been negligent under his watch!

The high-ranking officials of the Night Patrol all around awkwardly avoided eye contact.

The fact that the other party had been hiding here for many years without being discovered… in a sense, it truly was their dereliction of duty.

“Right now, I’m not pursuing the responsibility of all of you present. Capture the suspect as quickly as possible.” Zhou Weiren’s gaze fell on the big screen, watching the combat members take down the mutated giant spiders that rushed at them, his brows furrowed.

“Governor, I request that the Military and the Investigation Team dispatch experts for support. The strength of the other party is unfathomable, and these monsters are hampering us…”

“I approve! Also, request Xing Tian to identify the suspect… A Transcendent of the Body Technique System, and such a powerful one at that, there should be a record in the intelligence database.”

Under the night sky, a pair of eyes silently watched all this unfold.

Then, those eyes took a glance at the sky.

“It’s going to rain… what a pity for this fireworks feast.”

Half an hour later, a peal of autumn thunder struck.

The heavy rain poured down.

The swathes of fire in the ruins were suppressed, and everyone’s vision was disturbed.

Soon, someone exclaimed:

“Damn it, don’t let him escape!”

“Calling headquarters! Calling headquarters! The target is fleeing towards the West Suburb… The target has an injury on the left arm, which is affecting movement speed… accompanied by a Mechanical Octopus, requesting a full blockade!”

The thunder rumbled.

The deluge added a lot of difficulties to the chase.

Teacher Chang, wearing a blood-red mask, clutching his injured left arm, and being supported by the tentacles of a Mechanical Octopus, didn’t need to waste energy fleeing. The Mechanical Octopus, rivaling the speed of a car, could not only skim effortlessly along roads but also scale walls directly.

Teacher Chang quickly bandaged his wound.

What he hadn’t expected was the Night Patrol catching up so swiftly.

“Hasn’t the signal been blocked? How did they find me?”

There was no time to think too much.

Teacher Chang quickly found himself embroiled in combat with them again.

However, feeling that the number of people coming to encircle him was increasing, he once again fled with the Mechanical Octopus through the secret escape route.

But very soon—

He was discovered again!

“Damn it!”

One of the Military’s best, shaped like a human Mount Tai, directly blocked his way.

Another chaotic battle ensued.

In the command center.

“Xing Tian, have you ascertained the identity of the other party?” Zhou Weiren spoke in a low voice.

Due to the thunderstorms, the live battle footage was significantly affected.

“Assessing the other party based on a Third Rank in the Body Technique System… We have collected the following nine people across the city, the list is as follows…” Xing Tian dutifully reported accurately.

Suddenly someone exclaimed, “Teacher Chang?”

Many were also stunned.

Teacher Chang certainly also fit into this category.

However, many people instinctively ruled him out.

“How could Teacher Chang be this kind of criminal?”

“The criminals who died at his hands must number in the thousands, or at the very least a couple of hundred, right?”

“Yes, based on what I know of Teacher Chang’s character, he was once vehemently just. If it were not…”

Zhou Weiren silently looked at the screen.

“No matter who it is, they must be caught!”

The Chief of Night Patrol spoke gravely, “General Chu Tianye, the top expert of the Military, has gone personally.”

Everyone’s expression lit up, “General Chu has come back? Wasn’t he training in Central State?”

“He came back specially because of an issue with the Old Gods Association, and will leave again in a few days.”

“The people from the Old Gods Association were just lucky last time. If General Chu had been there, that person from the Old Gods would likely have stayed here.”

“With General Chu taking action, everything is sure to be under control!”

Teacher Chang roared.

He blasted the approaching person away.

Without any intention of engaging in battle.

He leaped to his feet.

The tentacles stretching out in midair already shielded him, and the immense figure sped away like lightning. Hidden within the night-shrouded downpour, he fled swiftly.

This time.

Teacher Chang finally noticed the reason the other party kept finding him on each occasion.

A wisp of psychic presence peeled off from his fingertips.

Although he didn’t know how the other party managed to lock this psychic presence onto him, it was clear they had no intention of letting him off easy.

With a cold laugh, Teacher Chang directly shattered this psychic thread.

He suddenly looked towards a direction.

“Go there!”

“If I don’t kill him, I’ll always be discovered!”

In the rain.

Pei Jinye sighed.

He held a large black umbrella in his hand.

Suddenly, he threw it.

The black umbrella, like a large black bird spreading its wings, enveloped the area.

Teacher Chang saw who was coming.

His expression paused.

The next second.

A notably crisp sword chime sounded, reaching a kilometer away through the splashing water.

In Da Peng City’s skies, the storm was dark, accompanied by flashes and thunder, and the rain poured heavily, with someone riding the wind and thunder.
