I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

But as he saw that no matter how many bullets were fired, they could never truly touch the man, the bald man felt utter despair.

How could he be so strong...

How could even such heavy gunfire fail to deal with him?

Why was Zhao defeated by him in an instant?

Why did I have to confront such a monster?

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The bald man howled in despair.

The youth with the sword dropped from the sky, arriving in front of him.

Staring at the figure in the air, the bald man's eyes widened and his pupils constricted.

He saw a pair of silver eyes that carried no hint of emotion, exuding a contempt as if he had never considered them worthy from the very beginning.

The elongated silver-white sword swung toward him.

Time seemed to slow down.

The black, long-barreled rifle in his hands was cleaved apart like tofu by the sword's edge, starting from the muzzle, followed by the barrel, the outside of the gun body, the grip... reaching his palm.

The blade cut between his index and middle finger, slicing through flesh and bone, his palm was vertically divided into two, chopping into his forearm, chest, and eventually cleaving him in half.

Regret, despair, anger, frustration... all emotions vanished, as the bald man gazed into those contemptuous eyes, his mind harbored only a bizarre thought.

Ah... how dared I oppose him, this end is truly deserved...

Xue Jing did not notice the bald man's somewhat peaceful expression.

"Big brother!!"

Someone cried out in panic.

"Big brother is dead, big brother is dead!!"

As the apparent leader was slain, the remaining people completely crumbled.

The sound of gunfire ceased entirely, and everyone started to flee.

Watching their retreating figures, Xue Jing expelled a breath of energy, shook off the fresh blood from the Crouching Rabbit Sword, and sheathed it.

Then he sprinted toward the fleeing crowd, with a series of cracking sounds, he knocked out each person with a punch, stacking all the unconscious bodies together. Having done all this, he walked over to a stone bench pockmarked with bullet holes nearby and sat down.

...

"Woo——"

Sirens wailed continuously, and a dozen police cars drove into the dock.

The car doors opened, and numerous fully armed sheriffs with guns emerged, drawing their firearms as soon as they stepped out of the vehicles.

"This..."

"Urgh—"

A young sheriff, upon seeing the scene, couldn't help but cover his mouth and retch.

The ground was littered with severed limbs, halves of heads, internal organs, and scattered limbs everywhere in yellow, green, black, and other recognizable and unrecognizable organs, emitting a nauseating stench.

Incongruously, amidst this hellish scene, sat a young man on a bench nearby, pristine and untouched, his excessively handsome face calm and soft as if he were not before a hellish abyss of blood and flesh, but a beautiful and touching sea of flowers.

"Don't move!"

A middle-aged sheriff raised his handgun, aiming sternly at the youth.

His words instantly snapped several distraught female sheriffs out of their daze, and everyone raised their firearms at the youth.

Xue Jing spoke softly, smiling:

"Rest assured, officers, I am a law-abiding citizen."

This statement immediately elicited numerous distrustful glances.

"It's true, I was merely acting in self-defense... facing a group of armed assailants attacking me, I had no choice but to retaliate a bit too harshly."

The middle-aged sheriff said sternly, "Regardless, please don't make any sudden moves. Come with us for investigation. If what you say is true..."

Before he could finish, Xue Jing reached into his pocket and pulled out a black identification card.

This action immediately triggered the sheriffs' sensitive nerves, and the sound of firearms being un-safetied filled the air.

Facing what could be a moment of being targeted by numerous guns, Xue Jing remained as calm as ever, undisturbed.

He first showed the front pattern of the black card to the middle-aged sheriff.

After seeing the card, the sheriff's expression shifted and he raised his hand overhead, "Don't shoot!"

Xue Jing spoke:

"Officer, catch this."

After saying that, he tossed the black card, which the middle-aged sheriff caught.

[Wu's Divine Relic Containment and Research Co., Ltd.]

[Specially Appointed C-Level Divine Relic Custodian·Xue Jing]

"Custodian license..."

The middle-aged sheriff muttered.

"For what specifically happened, you should ask them," Xue Jing said with a smile, gesturing toward the pile of over twenty unconscious people nearby.

...

After Xue Jing had left, a female sheriff watched his departing figure until he vanished from sight, then blinked and came back to her senses.

She asked the pondering middle-aged sheriff:

"Captain Zhou, is it really okay to let that person go just like that?"

Captain Zhou replied casually:

"By the rules and regulations, it's completely fine."

"What kind of rules are those? I've never seen them before!"

The female sheriff said, puzzled.

"You'll see them once you get promoted two more grades," Captain Zhou glanced at her.

"But, rules are stagnant, people are not. Just because the rules say so, doesn't mean we have to follow them exactly."

"In cases where there are so many dead, and the deaths are so brutal, even if he has a 'custodian license', we could detain him..."

The female sheriff asked, puzzled, "Then why don't we detain him?"

Captain Zhou looked at her strangely:

"Are you being silly? A master who can take down dozens of armed people with a knife and not get a speck of dirt on himself, do you think we could detain him?"

"What if he got angry? We would probably all be dead."

"If there's an excuse to let him go, of course, we should just let him go."

The female sheriff was flabbergasted: "Oh... I see."

Only then did she realize, it indeed seemed to be the case... The young man's appearance was so misleading, so handsome, that she inadvertently overlooked his terrifying danger.

Captain Zhou looked toward a few dozen armed criminals being escorted onto a vehicle, and said:

"These lawless thugs in South City actually dared to use guns in the city... But this does create a good opportunity, Director Shang should be pleased..."

...

Due to the shooting incident, the dock was shut down for a while, delaying the ticket-checking time.

After wandering around outside for a while, Xue Jing, dragging his suitcase, arrived at the ferry terminal lobby, went to the service window, completed the formalities with his ID card, and received a card.

According to the receptionist, this card was both a boat ticket and a room card, and he had to carry it with him when boarding or disembarking.

After finishing the procedures, Xue Jing put the boat ticket card in his pocket and randomly picked a chair to sit down. He then opened his panel and glanced at it.

[Health Cultivation upgraded to Lv7 (21/4500)]

[Combat Skills upgraded to Lv6 (56/3000)]

Xue Jing felt the improvement brought by the newly upgraded skills and nodded.

"Fighting indeed offers the biggest upgrades... Such real-life combat is equivalent to many days of hard work."

He sighed softly.

"However... killing so many people in reality is still somewhat unsettling."

Xue Jing was calming his slightly fluctuating emotions.

This was his second time killing since the activation of Shadow Flame, and it was still a brutal slaughter.

Such action inevitably struck a chord.

Xue Jing was adjusting his emotions with powerful mental control when suddenly a voice greeted him nearby.

"Hello... are you Mr. Xue?"

Xue Jing opened his eyes and turned to look.

It was a tall, thin middle-aged man, neatly dressed from head to toe.
