The policemen were all dumbstruck. This scene had thoroughly destroyed their worldview. They wondered whether they could handle a person who isn't even afraid of a bullet and stopped it in mid-air.
Even the government would feel an immense pressure when confronting such an existence. Only a few across the entire country could do something to him.
"Did you think you can kill this Deity?"
Chen Bin collapsed to his knees from the fear.
"Die!"
Jiang Xiu flicked the bullet with his finger. It flew out along with a dreadful light and penetrated through Chen Bin's head. It was the same as a gunshot from a silenced pistol. It noiselessly pierced through the forehead and went out through the back.
Chen Bin's pupils grew large then became soulless.
His body fell forward, a pool of blood leaking out from his head.
Death! A violent death!
The others drew in a cold breath, looking at everything in front of them in a daze.
It was too shocking!
They never expected a person to be killed in such a way.
They were even more shocked by the fact that this person was too brazen. He had killed a person in front of so many policemen, leaders, and especially Secretary Gu.
Though they witnessed it, no one said anything or criticized him since it would just be akin to throwing their life away. Not to mention that they couldn't even judge such a case correctly. Would the court believe it if they said he caught a bullet with his hand then threw it back again? Let alone, Chen Bin had tried to kill him first.
Jiang Xiu sat down again, paying no attention to their gazes.
"Secretary Gu, you have to give an explanation for this matter to this Deity."
Gu Dezhi had already heard that this Mr. Jiang's methods are ruthless. All those who had offended him ended up in dire straits. He had personally witnessed this today. He could have left Chen Bin alive, but he still killed him.
He inevitably felt scared of Jiang Xiu a little.
Anyone would be afraid of such a ruthless person.
However, as the top head of Jiangnan's border region, Gu Dezhi wasn't any ordinary person. He quickly calmed down, "The entire staff shall be punished for this."
"There shall be no leniency!"
The expressions of the police officers changed. Fang Congyi cried out, "Secretary Gu, we are innocent! Really!…"
"Take them all away."
They would naturally get sacked for arresting him. However, they had also offended Mr. Jiang, so he had to make sure to resolve Jiang Xiu's rage.
He made a mental note to himself that he had to adequately explain Jiang Xiu's godly skills to his elder brother. The ability to stop a bullet in midair was too shocking. Fortunately, he had seen him use such a skill today by chance or else the Gu family would have let a great opportunity slip by.
"Mr. Jiang, are you satisfied with this kind of punishment?"
"It's fine!"
Fang Congyi fell to the ground as if he had lost all strength from his body. The bureau chief position he had obtained after striving for so many years was gone.
"Chief, there's bad news…"
A police officer rushed inside to report but then stopped speaking midway. He saw the Deputy Captain's dead body, the messed up chairs and tables, as well as the bureau chief who was had collapsed to the ground.
"What happened?"
Secretary Gu questioned him.
"Eh, it's like this. News has come from the officers from the hospital that Xiao Xuetong has gone missing." He paused for a moment. "It was strange. She went missing after following a snake."
"A snake?"
"I have an image here…" He connected a USB flash drive to the computer then played the video.
In the video, Xiao Xuetong had a lifeless look in her eyes. She walked out from the elevator in a patient's clothes, and a snake was crawling in front of her.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Xiu could see the image of the Evil God overlap on Xiao Xuetong's face more clearly now. Frightening curse energy rushed out from her and in his gaze, that snake was releasing a black sinister energy.
"This is…"
"It appears as if she became possessed."
Accurate to say, she was indeed possessed right now.
"Organize a squad to rescue Xiao Xuetong as soon as possible." Secretary Gu sent out an order. He naturally wouldn't concern himself with such a matter, but since he was present here, they would follow his commands. Actually, this kind of work was handled by the police department.
"Yes, sir!"
The Deputy Bureau Chief to the side answered back. He immediately organized a special squad to investigate this.
"Mr. Jiang, today has been a troubling day. Please let me invite you for a drink." Gu Dezhi continued, "Consider this as an apology to you for today."
"Wouldn't it better for Secretary Gu to go to the hospital to get your injury checked first?"
The reason he had made this trip wasn't to sincerely look at the concert with Cheng Lingsu. He had come for the Evil God manipulating Xiao Xuetong. First, it was the kidnapping then sorcery. All this was to take Xiao Xuetong away. Jiang Xiu was sure that the person behind both the events was the same one, which was that Evil God.
Secretary Gu caressed the injury on his forehead awkwardly. He had lost a lot of face due to this.
"This Deity also wants to go to the hospital so shall we go together?"
Secretary Gu naturally didn't decline the offer. The administration of Jiang City immediately arranged for a vehicle to deliver these two big shots. After reaching the hospital, Secretary Gu went to undergo the required tests for his injury while Jiang Xiu went to the ward that Xiao Xuetong was in.
When he arrived, Deputy Chief Wu Rong was investigating the room along with the team. Such supernatural cases were the most troublesome for the police as it was difficult for them to find a solution.
They could only do their best though it might be useless.
"Who are you!?"
A police officer shouted at Jiang Xiu when he entered inside.
"Mr. Jiang…"
Wu Rong rushed over after seeing Jiang Xiu.
"This Deity came to take a look…"
"That's great. We have never seen this kind of case. There are no clues at all, so we are at a complete loss about where to begin investigating."
Jiang Xiu didn't reply to him and walked inside directly. He narrowed his eyes, and his field of view changed instantly yet he didn't find anything exceptional. It was the same when his line of sight fell on top of the bed. But when he looked in front of the bed, there were traces off black smoke forming a line, as if a snake had crawled through there.
He followed the marks. This snake was quite intelligent. It had crawled alongside the corners, and it would be difficult to take note of this black smoke at the dark corners unless he had followed it from inside the room.
He followed the trail which led him outside the hospital. He raised his head to look at the sky and muttered to himself, "No wonder, it's the day of Nine Yin today."
A halo was covering the full moon in the sky while the entire sky had darkened.
"Mr. Jiang, did you discover anything?"
Wu Rong asked him.
"Follow this Deity!"
Saying so, Jiang Xiu moved forwards and walked towards the woods. Two people were standing outside the woods right now. One of them was Xiao Xuetong's agent, Sister Li, and the other one was a middle-aged man with an intimidating aura. Wu Rong recognized them. "What are you doing here?"
All of a sudden, a savage howl appeared from the woods. Wu Rong turned pale with fright and almost dashed inside while pulling his gun out.
"D-Don't go in…"
A person escaped out of the woods along with that voice. He wore a Taoist robe and appeared to be a Shaman.
"This is bad. That monster has already taken form."
The man asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Boss Wang, I'm not cheating you. It'll be difficult for you to believe it even if I explain it to you."
"That snake has already taken a spirit form. My ancestors have been trying to deal with this demon for many generations. It's already been over a hundred years since we have taken up this task."
Sister Li couldn't believe it, "Hundred years?"
Even Wu Rong couldn't believe it. He could understand something like Jiang Xiu stopping a bullet then throwing it back to kill a person because it was related to martial arts.
But a snake taking a spirit form, something like this was too unbelievable. It wasn't like they were filming a movie like the Legend of the White Snake.
"Moreover, Lady Xiao Xuetong has been marked by this monster."
A voice came through at this moment, "A snake needs 500 years to take form. That isn't a snake which has cultivated into spirit form, it's just a Yin Snake refined by using a secret art after pouring baleful qi into a snake's corpse."
"It's an insignificant thing."
After hearing this, the Shaman turned his head towards the voice. He saw a youth come over with his hands behind his back yet his gaze fixed on top of the woods. The scene of his eyes flickering under the night scene appeared quite elegant.
The Shaman felt that tone of speaking was a bit too much. If it were indeed only a Yin Snake refined from a snake corpse, it would mean that the three generations of his ancestors had died due to such an insignificant thing.
"Are you frightened so much because of a mere Yin Snake?"
