Under the blazing sun, on an overgrown riverbank, a chase was underway.
A man in sunglasses and another with a gold stud in his ear were running for their lives, with several Investigators in hot pursuit.
Just as the two criminals were gritting their teeth, ready to flee all the way to the wilderness outside the city, an Investigator suddenly appeared on their escape route, blocking their path.
The pursuing Investigators, seeing their colleague appear ahead, slowed their pace. They knew that with their teammate blocking the way, the two fleeing criminals had no chance of escaping any further.
Wang Jing stood with her arms crossed, her expression blank as she delivered an ultimatum to the two resisting criminals. "If you don’t want to get hurt, stop right now."
Unwilling to be captured so easily, the man in sunglasses exchanged a look with his accomplice after hearing Wang Jing’s ultimatum. They both said in unison, "Split up."
The words had barely left their mouths when the two criminals, attempting to split up and run around Wang Jing from either side, felt danger closing in.
Seeing that the two criminals were still defiant, Wang Jing immediately charged forward.
In the blink of an eye, she was in front of them, a faint golden Spiritual Light blooming on her fists.
"Danger..."
The first to be attacked was the man with the gold stud. His face went pale with fright, and he thought to raise his arms and cross them over his chest to defend himself.
But he was too slow. His arms had just begun to rise when Wang Jing’s fist, wreathed in faint golden Spiritual Light, had already struck his chest.
BANG.
The moment he was hit, the man with the gold stud felt as if he’d been run over head-on by an overloaded, speeding truck.
CRACK...
All of his ribs shattered, sending a piercing agony through him. His body was launched into the air, flying backward like a cannonball.
The Investigators who had been pursuing the two resisting criminals immediately parted to the left and right as they saw the man with the gold stud go flying.
They watched as the man with the gold stud flew past them and slammed heavily onto the ground.
SPIT...
After landing, the man with the gold stud rolled several times before a coppery taste filled his throat and he couldn’t stop himself from spitting up a large mouthful of blood.
This man was only at the peak of Tier One. His physical resilience wasn’t strong, and after taking a vicious punch from Wang Jing, he was seeing stars.
There wasn’t a single part of his body that didn’t ache. The pain in his grievously wounded chest was so intense he felt like he couldn’t breathe.
"Aaaargh..."
The intense pain exceeded his limits, and after letting out a miserable cry, he passed out.
The man in sunglasses, who was at the Second Rank Initial Stage, saw his companion’s miserable state, and his already bloodless face turned even paler.
Not wanting to suffer the same miserable fate, he subconsciously stopped, took a step back, and deployed his awakened Superpower, preparing for a fight.
Spiritual Light flared. The ground at the sunglasses-wearing man’s feet churned, and fresh soil surged rapidly toward his body.
In the blink of an eye, the soil covering him formed a thick suit of Earth Armor, encasing his entire body.
The man in sunglasses, originally one-point-nine meters tall, used his Superpower to don the thick Earth Armor, increasing his height to over two-point-two meters.
Wang Jing, who was one-point-seven-two meters tall, looked almost petite standing before him.
"Get out of my way!" the man in the Earth Armor roared, swinging a fist the size of a sandbag at Wang Jing.
An ordinary person would have been killed on the spot by such a punch.
’This idiot is courting death! He actually dared to attack Captain Wang...’ the Investigators standing nearby muttered in unison as they watched the man in sunglasses attack Wang Jing. They could already imagine the guy’s gruesome end.
Watching the fist, thickly coated in Earth Armor, fly toward her, the valiant Wang Jing showed no fear.
She leaped back, deftly dodging the man’s furious punch.
As soon as she landed, she kicked off the ground and shot forward, throwing a punch at the man’s stomach.
WHOOSH... The approaching fist, shimmering with faint golden Spiritual Light, actually stirred up a whistling wind.
The man under the Earth Armor had eyes full of terror. Just like the man with the gold stud, his first thought was to raise his hands to defend himself.
But his reaction speed was nowhere near fast enough to keep up with Wang Jing’s punch. He could only watch helplessly as her fist, wreathed in faint golden Spiritual Light, landed solidly against him.
BOOM!
The fair fist, wrapped in faint golden Spiritual Light, struck the surface of the Earth Armor with a tremendous roar. The immense force passed straight through the armor and slammed into the man’s body.
CRACK.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the Earth Armor, rapidly spreading out from the point of impact.
"Aaaargh..."
The man in sunglasses let out a piercing scream. He bent over, wanting to clutch his stomach where he’d been hit.
