Master Tan never expected that he, a master of the third level of the Innate Realm, would be defeated by a mere youth at the second level of the Innate Realm.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?" Master Tan lay on the ground, muttering the same phrase over and over again, because to him it was nothing short of a fantasy.
This blow caused him severe internal injuries, because Liu Xiaoyuan hadn't held back at all; his aim was to injure Master Tan.
Master Tan coughed up a mouthful of blood. Xiao Dajun immediately ran to Master Tan's side, helped him up, and asked, "Master Tan, are you alright?"
Master Tan shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Bring that girl out."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dajun immediately went to bring out the girl he had brought back that morning. Master Tan was in such agony because he knew what was good for him; he didn't want to die yet. If he continued to be stubborn, the other party might make him wish he were dead.
Xiao Dajun brought the girl out; the girl was Yang Zihan. At this moment, Yang Zihan's hands and feet were bound, and her mouth was taped shut.
Seeing Yang Zihan being treated like this, Liu Xiaoyuan went up and kicked Xiao Dajun to the ground, then removed the ropes from Yang Zihan's body and the tape from her mouth.
"Xiao Yuan!" Yang Zihan immediately rushed into Liu Xiaoyuan's arms, tears streaming down her face.
Liu Xiaoyuan hugged Yang Zihan tightly and said, "It's alright, it's alright, Zihan, it's alright!"
Seeing this, Lu Siyao felt somewhat uncomfortable, but considering that Yang Zihan had been so frightened, it was only right to comfort her.
Besides, I've accepted Yang Zihan in my heart, and thinking about it this way makes me feel much better.
At this moment, Master Tan, who was sitting on the ground, slowly stood up. After standing up, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he suddenly struck Liu Xiaoyuan on the back with a palm.
Master Tan used all his best skills in this palm strike, aiming to kill Liu Xiaoyuan in one blow and send him to his death.
Fortunately, Liu Xiaoyuan never let his guard down against Master Tan. Just as Master Tan launched an attack, it was as if Liu Xiaoyuan had eyes in the back of his head, and he struck Master Tan with a palm strike containing the power of neutralizing energy.
The power of transformation of energy by a master of the Innate Realm is very different from that of a master of the Transformation Realm; their power is incomparable.
This palm strike instantly destroyed Master Tan's internal organs, causing him to stop running and spit out a mouthful of blood towards Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan easily dodged while holding Yang Zihan.
Master Tan lay down on the ground, staring wide-eyed at Liu Xiaoyuan: "My sect will not let you get away with this!"
After uttering these dying words, Master Tan breathed his last, but his eyes remained wide open, as if he had died with his eyes still open.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Dajun was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, not daring to go forward to check if Master Tan was dead.
"Ding dong, congratulations to player Liu Xiaoyuan for killing a master of the third level of the Innate Realm with one palm, gaining 3000 experience points!"
As soon as Master Tan died, the system's voice immediately rang in Liu Xiaoyuan's mind.
Wow! That works too? Killing Master Tan gives you 3,000 experience points, not bad at all.
"Siyao, let's go." Liu Xiaoyuan said to Lu Siyao, holding Yang Zihan's hand.
Lu Siyao's gaze remained fixed on the fallen Master Tan. To this day, she still couldn't understand how Master Tan had died; it was simply too unbelievable.
"Xiao Yuan, there's been a fatal accident here, I can't leave," Lu Siyao said. As a police officer, this was his job.
Lu Siyao was unwilling to leave. Liu Xiaoyuan then remembered that he also had something to ask Xiao Dajun: why did they arrest Yang Zihan?
Now that Master Tan is dead, we can only hope to get some useful clues from Xiao Dajun.
"Zihan, would you like to sit in the car for a while?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, afraid that Yang Zihan would be scared.
Yang Zihan held Liu Xiaoyuan's hand and said, "Xiaoyuan, I don't want to leave your side. I don't want to get on the car."
Next, Lu Siyao began investigating the cause of Master Tan's death. Liu Xiaoyuan walked over to Xiao Dajun and, seeing Xiao Dajun still trembling, asked, "I'm asking you, why did you arrest her?"
Xiao Dajun glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, then immediately got up from the ground, knelt down in front of Liu Xiaoyuan, kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "Please don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll tell you anything."
"Then hurry up and tell me!" Liu Xiaoyuan asked loudly.
Xiao Dajun immediately said, "Junior Brother Tan said she has excellent aptitude and is suitable to be his disciple. More importantly, Master Tan said that a woman with a pure water-type spiritual root like her will greatly benefit his cultivation in the future."
"What is a pure water-type spiritual root?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked Xiao Dajun.
Xiao Dajun shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Master Tan just told me that, and I didn't dare to ask any more questions."
A pure water-type spiritual root is very beneficial to one's cultivation. Could this be the same as Gao Taiyu's case, where Master Tan wants Yang Zihan to be his cultivation vessel?
"What is the background of this Master Tan?" Liu Xiaoyuan continued to ask.
Xiao Dajun said, "I'm not very clear either. Master Tan only said that he came from a very large sect and that he was an elder of that sect. He didn't tell me anything else."
"Then how did he end up living in your house?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
Xiao Dajun said, "A few days ago, I almost hit Master Tan with my car on the street. I got out of the car to apologize to him. During our chat, I learned that he was not a local. He said he wanted to stay here for a few days and asked where there was a good hotel. So I invited him to stay at my house."
Finally, Liu Xiaoyuan asked some other questions about Xiao Dajun, but they were all useless questions. It seems that Xiao Dajun doesn't know much about Master Tan.
Xiao Dajun was so enthusiastic because he wanted to become Master Tan's apprentice.
Now, Liu Xiaoyuan was starting to regret it. He should have kept him alive instead of killing him with one blow.
However, there is no medicine for regret in this world, and regret is useless; the dead cannot be brought back to life.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't care at all about Master Tan's last words before he died: that his sect would not let him go. If Master Tan's sect dared to teach him a lesson, Liu Xiaoyuan would make them regret it!
Lu Siyao couldn't find anything out either, she just took some photos as evidence, because autopsies are done by forensic doctors, not Lu Siyao's specialty.
"Siyao, how's the investigation going?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked as he walked up to Lu Siyao. Of course, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't admit to killing Master Tan, lest he cause himself trouble.
