As for Liu Qingrong? She's an ugly woman who knows too many secrets; keeping her around is just asking for trouble! It's better to kill her too, and eliminate the threat forever!
"Qin Xiao, aren't you supposed to be a great fighter? Show me another one!" Ye Chen grinned maliciously, his inner energy surging wildly, his injured body unleashing astonishing power. He moved like lightning, leaving a trail of foul wind, and punched Liu Qingrong, who was pinned down by Qin Xiao!
His punch seemed aimed at Liu Qingrong, but the force of the blow covered both of them! He clearly intended to kill two birds with one stone!
"Watch out!" Qing Sheng Daoist was shocked and wanted to help, but Ye Chen was too fast and he couldn't make it in time!
Qin Xiao's pupils constricted sharply. He could feel the killing intent and power of Ye Chen's punch. But at this moment, his meridians were in excruciating pain, and his true energy was in disarray. Not to mention counterattacking, even dodging was extremely difficult! The backlash was even more severe than he had anticipated!
[Is there any way?!] Qin Xiao cried out anxiously in his heart.
[Waaaaah... Host, I'm useless... The Ultimate Role-Playing System was activated in an emergency, and its energy was exhausted, which also brought a huge backlash... I can't do anything now... I can't even get the worst skills...] Yun Yiyi's voice was choked with sobs, filled with helplessness and self-blame.
It’s over!
Qin Xiao's heart sank. As Ye Chen's fist, brimming with killing intent, drew ever closer, the shadow of death loomed once more!
At this critical moment!
"Bang--!"
A sharp gunshot shattered the silence of the courtyard!
The gunshot wasn't muffled; instead, it had an extremely strong penetrating power and was incredibly accurate!
Ye Chen, who was grinning and throwing a punch, suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp as a strand of hair, accompanied by a scorching wave of air, drifted down in front of him.
His movements froze instantly, the sneer on his face solidified, and turned into incredulous astonishment and a hint of... fear.
Someone fired a shot?! And... it almost hit him in the head?!
"Don't move! Police!"
A clear and authoritative female voice rang out.
At the entrance to the courtyard, a tall and spirited policewoman stood.
She wore a well-fitting police uniform that accentuated her stunning curves, especially her ample bosom, which almost burst out of the uniform. She was estimated to be over 1.7 meters tall, with long, straight, and powerful legs. Her appearance was a blend of sweetness and fierceness; at this moment, her pretty face held a murderous glint as she held a police pistol, a wisp of smoke rising from the muzzle, firmly locked onto Ye Chen.
It was Shen Xingling!
How did she find this place? And how did she arrive so quickly?
A hint of doubt flashed through Qin Xiao's mind, but he was mostly relieved.
Master Qingsheng was also dumbfounded. He looked at Shen Xingling, then at the hair falling from Ye Chen's head, and clicked his tongue: "Wow, with that marksmanship, it's a pity he's not competing in the Olympics."
Ye Chen was both shocked and furious. He, the young master of the Dragon King Palace and the chosen one, was being held at gunpoint by a mere mortal policeman who even knocked out his hair?!
Shen Xingling's eyes were icy cold, without the slightest fluctuation. She pulled a folded piece of paper from her pocket and unfolded it: "Ye Chen, you are suspected of multiple cases of intentional injury, gang fighting, and endangering public safety. The evidence is conclusive! You are now being arrested in accordance with the law! You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used against you in court!"
"Impossible! What right do you have to arrest me?!" Ye Chen roared, attempting to mobilize his inner energy to resist.
"Resist arrest?" Shen Xingling sneered, lowering the muzzle of her gun slightly to aim at Ye Chen's knee. "You can try."
The cold muzzle of the gun exuded an aura of death. Ye Chen had no doubt that if he dared to move even slightly, his knee would be shattered in the next second! He could sense that this policewoman was absolutely capable of firing a gun!
He might not care about the lives of ordinary people, but he is now injured and his true energy is greatly depleted. Facing firearms, especially at such close range, he is not absolutely confident!
"Cuff them!" Shen Xingling waved her hand behind her.
Two equally armed police officers quickly stepped forward, took out gleaming handcuffs, and, ignoring Ye Chen's struggles and roars, firmly restrained him from both sides. With a "click," the cold handcuffs locked up this arrogant "chosen one."
Shen Xingling ignored his threats and calmly said into the walkie-talkie, "Suspect Ye Chen has been apprehended. Requesting backup. The situation at the scene is complex, with suspected residual supernatural forces. There are also injured people who need assistance."
After speaking, she put away her gun, her gaze swept across the scene, and finally landed on Qin Xiao and Liu Qingrong on the ground. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.
She walked quickly to Qin Xiao, and seeing his pale face and the blood at the corner of his mouth, her tone softened: "Mr. Qin, how are you? Do you need an ambulance?"
Qin Xiao shook his head, tried to stand up by bracing himself against the ground, but stumbled.
Shen Xingling reacted quickly, reaching out to support him. Her hand touched firm muscles, but she could also feel his weakness and slight trembling.
"Thank you, Officer Shen, you arrived just in time." Qin Xiao took a breath and gave a wry smile.
"It's my duty." Shen Xingling helped him to his feet, then turned her gaze to Liu Qingrong, whose eyes remained empty and desperate on the ground, and then looked at Ye Chen, who was being escorted by the police and was still cursing wildly. She said in a deep voice, "What... exactly happened here?"
In the courtyard, bloodstains, signs of a fight, a lingering chill, and the various people in different states of mind created a bizarre and chaotic scene.
Qin Xiao watched Ye Chen being led away, a cold glint in his eyes. Although he hadn't been able to deal with him personally this time, being caught by the police was enough to make things difficult for him.
At least, the temporary crisis has been averted.
He looked down at Liu Qingrong, who was trembling with fear and despair beside him, and spoke again. His voice was weak, but it carried a strange, comforting power: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I said I could heal you."
