Chapter 177: Fight at the Door
Zheng Gong and Li Yi talked about many recent events, big and small, each of which was very important and related to the changes in the situation. However, it was not difficult to see from these events that the situation was becoming increasingly wrong. There were unresolved supernatural events in the old city, mythical creatures were suspected to have been discovered deep in the danger zone, and the defense line of the abandoned city had been breached. In addition, the Investigation Bureau had suffered heavy losses.

If a second Tianqing incident happens at this time, it will be completely over.

The more Li Yi listened, the more silent he became, and the more uneasy he became.

Although the Investigation Bureau has done a lot of work and efforts, he also sees where the root of the problem lies.

That is, the Investigation Bureau lacks several top experts. It's like opening a martial arts school in any corner of the world. Without experts in this field, the situation will be unstable, and no one will believe you no matter what you say or do.

However, this problem was not only noticed by Li Yi, but also by Zheng Gong and the senior management of the Investigation Bureau.

But experts are not easy to come by. It takes time to cultivate them.

"Li Yi, I know that I am not capable enough and my strength is not strong enough. There is a limit to what I can do, but I think we have to do something and change something. We can't just watch the situation deteriorate. So I hope we can do something at this time."

Suddenly, Zheng Gong came to Li Yi with a pleading attitude and spoke very seriously.

Li Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Engineer Zheng, what are you going to do?"

"I hope we can form a team. I will be in charge of logistics and weapons, and you will lead the team. We will go on missions together, whether it is to hunt down criminals, hunt ferocious beasts, or solve some difficult cases. In short, there are many things we can do."

"Of course, all of this is not free. We can collect bounties for hunting criminals, and we can sell the beasts we kill. The Investigation Bureau will also reward us for handling incidents. Now many investigators in the Investigation Bureau have begun to form teams. This is a trend, and the Investigation Bureau has also delegated authority and provided great support to investigators who form teams."

"Li Yi, we can't miss this opportunity."

Mr. Zheng said a series of things, and he was even a little excited.

"We can't form a team and accomplish anything with just the two of us." Li Yi shook his head and said.

Zheng Gong said immediately: "I know that my ability is not enough to form a qualified team, but Li Yi is different. You have more connections in the cultivation circle than I do. It is not difficult to form a team as long as you are willing."

"Do you want to bring Lin Yue into the team?" Li Yi's expression changed, and he immediately understood Zheng Gong's idea.

"Lin Yue is a master of spiritual perception and has killed Wei Bin. She is now very famous. It would be great if we could persuade Lin Yue to join the Investigation Bureau." Zheng Gong said, "To be honest, the higher-ups also have the idea of ​​letting Lin Yue become a foreign combatant, but they just lack an opportunity. Now that you are here, I think if you invite her, there is a high possibility that Lin Yue will agree."

"It's something I'll think about."

Li Yi did not respond immediately. He said, "Besides, inviting practitioners to form a team is not something I can decide on my own. Although I know a few practitioners, I don't know if they are willing. How about this, I will give you an answer tomorrow."

"No problem." said Mr. Zheng.

"In that case, I have to go to the training base and check on Lin Yue's situation." After thinking for a while, Li Yi stood up and prepared to leave: "By the way, this sniper rifle..."

"You can take it. I'm in charge of the equipment department now. I have the final say over a sniper rifle. How much bullets did you consume this time? Do you need any more?" Engineer Zheng said.

Li Yi said, "It's enough for us to use without any missions. We don't need it for now. I'll tell you when we run out of bullets. Okay, I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay." Engineer Zheng nodded.

After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Li Yi prepared to leave the Investigation Bureau with his sniper rifle on his back, and then went to the training base to visit Sister Lin and see how Sister Lin was doing. After all, it was Sister Lin who took care of him when he was injured several times, and now that Sister Lin was injured, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

By the way, I should go home and get some great medicine from all over the world. Some of them are very helpful for healing.

With this idea in mind, Li Yi decided to go back to his new home, Peace Financial Building, first.

However, just as he walked out of the door of the Investigation Bureau, a woman came towards him. The woman was tall, with a long ponytail, a pair of slender thighs that were strong and powerful, and her whole body revealed an indescribable cold and arrogant temperament.

"Li Yi!"

Suddenly, the woman stopped and her face, which had originally had a hint of smile, instantly turned cold as ice.

"Ning Wu?"

Li Yi, who was thinking about something, looked up and saw a familiar person.

"What Engineer Zheng said is absolutely correct. You criminals have actually been released and your sentences have been reduced for your meritorious service. Ning Wu, I just don't know how many tasks you have to complete and how many merits you have to make to wash away your sins after you have killed so many people?" Li Yi was slightly stunned.

Needless to say, the hatred between the two men had already begun as a feud in the abandoned city area, and after a big fight in the old city area, the hatred continued to deepen.

I thought Ning Wu would most likely never get out of the cell in her lifetime, but I didn't expect that this big change would give her a good deal.

Ning Wu was filled with anger at this moment. Her breathing became heavy, like the roar of a wild beast. Then she disappeared from the spot in an instant. In just a blink of an eye, she was in front of Li Yi. Then, one of her long legs popped out like a taut spring and went straight to Li Yi's forehead.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

At this moment, Ning Wu burst out with all her strength, wishing she could kick Li Yi to death.

"Ning Wu, don't be impulsive, you are no match for him."

However, a man next to Ning Wu suddenly changed his expression and rushed over at an incredible speed.

However, Li Yi would not give in. He twisted his muscles, bones and skin into a knot, bursting out with all his strength, and raised his hand to throw a punch.

Thor's hammer!

The force of the fist was released, the air exploded, and it seemed as if a sound of thunder was heard in my ears.

"boom!"

This punch was aimed at Ning Wu's thigh. If it was hit, Ning Wu's thigh, which had been connected with great difficulty, would definitely be smashed to pieces by his punch.

But the punch missed.

Ning Wu, who appeared in front of him just now, suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, a man pulled Ning Wu and retreated quickly, and they stopped only when they were seven or eight meters away.

The force from the fist spread out and turned into a gust of air that rolled back, making it almost impossible for the person blown by it to open his eyes. Even if he was seven or eight meters away, he felt as if he could not keep his balance.

"The power of this punch is so terrifying."

The man's eyes suddenly narrowed, he was shocked by Li Yi's punch, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Ning Wu's face turned slightly pale when she felt the strong wind. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and felt scared.

If that punch had landed on me, I would have been seriously injured if not killed.

"Your strength. It's only been a short time, and you've improved again."

Ning Wu gritted her teeth, her eyes sparking with anger. She felt that Li Yi's achievements were all thanks to that magical object. Only that magical object could allow Li Yi to undergo a transformation.

The last time she dealt with Li Yi, she managed to win by chance, but this time, she was completely crushed.

"Keep going, what? Are you scared?"

Li Yi had a cold expression, his pupils sparkling, but at this moment he was not staring at Ning Wu, but at the man beside Ning Wu: "A master of spiritual perception? Your reaction is indeed fast. You sensed the danger before I threw a punch. Otherwise, she would have to go out in a wheelchair in the future."

"Are you Li Yi? I've heard of you, a foreign combatant of the Investigation Bureau. You are a genius cultivator with a cultivation value of 420%. You have reached the realm of inspiration only a few months after entering the cultivation circle. You have also mastered a boxing technique with astonishing power. Now it seems that you are more dangerous than I knew. You are full of murderous intent, and I don't know how many fights you have experienced." The man also narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Yi.

It is true that a reputation is worth nothing. The Li Yi in front of him, who has made a name for himself, is more powerful than he imagined. Even he felt trembling with fear at that punch just now. And such a punch is only used to deal with Ning Wu, a practitioner in the spiritual realm.

It's no wonder that Ning Wu lost miserably with this kind of lion-fighting-rabbit approach.

"Who are you? I haven't seen you before." Li Yi frowned and silently untied the sniper rifle behind him.

"I'm Yu Chuan, Ning Wu's cousin. I just came to Tianchang City recently. It's normal that you don't know me. I know the conflict between you and Ning Wu, but I'm not here to cause trouble for you this time. I'm just here to assist Ning Wu in completing the task and get a reduction in sentence. After I'm done, I'll take Ning Wu away from here." The spiritual master named Yu Chuan said calmly.

"Ning Wu is a criminal for life. She is born evil and regards human life as worthless. Sooner or later, she will cause a murder. It is a wrong decision to let her go. If you get close to her, be careful not to be led astray by her and become a criminal as well." Li Yi said.

"I was born evil? Li Yi, you'd better be careful with your words." Ning Wu glared at him.

Li Yi sneered, "Isn't it? This is the first time in my life that I have seen someone greet someone as a witness."

"you"

Ning Wu's chest was heaving with anger. If she hadn't been afraid of Li Yi's strength, she would have rushed forward and attacked him.

"Give me a chance, I will control her." Yu Chuan said.

Ning Wu said, "Cousin, why are you being so polite to him? He's not an investigator. We're doing our job normally and no one can do anything to us. And he stole my things. I think we should just go all out and fight him today to get the things back."

"Shut up." Yu Chuan shouted, interrupting Ning Wu.

Because at this time Li Yi's sniper rifle was already loaded and aimed directly at Ning Wu. He said coldly: "Yu Chuan? You saved people very quickly just now. I want to know if you can still save Ning Wu in front of me after firing this shot."

A bead of sweat appeared on Yu Chuan's forehead.

It is true that he has spiritual perception, but no matter how fast his reaction is, there is still a time limit. If he is shot at at such a close distance, Ning Wu will definitely die, and he won't even have time to dodge.

After all, it is a firearm for hunting extraordinary people.

Ning Wu also shut her mouth obediently at this moment. When she looked at Li Yi's sniper rifle, a hint of panic and fear flashed in her eyes.

Her inspiration was running wildly, and at this moment she even smelled the scent of death.

If Li Yi's punch just now was intended to take away one of her legs, then now he was aiming to kill her.

At this moment, Ning Wu clearly realized that the relationship between her and Li Yi had already changed.

Now it’s not a question of whether or not to cause trouble for Li Yi, but rather he has to worry about Li Yi coming to seek revenge on him.

"Li Yi, you have to stay calm. If you kill Ning Wu with this shot, it will also affect many other people. Then you, a foreign combatant, will also be a criminal. You have to think carefully." Yu Chuan said: "I said, the grudge between you has ended here. We will leave after completing the mission and we will not meet again."

"It better be this way."

Li Yi glanced at Yu Chuan coldly, then slowly put down the sniper rifle in his hand: "Since the previous matter has come to an end, what about what happened just now? Ning Wu suddenly attacked me, there must be an explanation."

"What do you want?" Yu Chuan asked immediately.

"Just apologize." Li Yi said.

Yu Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, Ning Wu, you apologize to Li Yi in person and the matter will be over. Don't conflict with Li Yi again in the future. Do you hear me?"

Apologize?

Ning Wu suddenly felt humiliated. It was clearly Li Yi who stole her rare item, and it was clearly him who caused her to go to jail, but now she had to apologize.

"Ning Wu." Yu Chuan shouted, glaring at her.

"I, I understand." Ning Wu took a deep breath. She understood that she had to bow her head today, otherwise this matter would not end well.

"Yes, sorry."

Li Yi said: "Louder."

"I'm sorry." Ning Wu shouted.

"very good."

Li Yi's cold eyes softened a little: "I know you are not convinced, and I know you want to kill me. It doesn't matter. I will keep an eye on you. Once you make a mistake, you will no longer have any chance to get a reduction in sentence. As a foreign combatant, I have no problem killing you directly. So, Ning Wu, you should be more careful next time."

After saying that, he strode away with the sniper rifle on his back.

Yu Chuan watched Li Yi leave, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He scolded again, "Ning Wu, you finally have the chance to reduce your sentence by making meritorious service, do you really want to throw your life away here? You couldn't beat Li Yi before, and now that he has entered the inspiration, you are even more unable to beat him. If you cause trouble for him again, I can't protect you."

"Cousin, why are you so afraid of him? If we had joined forces, we would have had a chance to get the things back." Ning Wu bit her red lips and said unwillingly.

"How can I fight? You will definitely die once he opens fire. You will be a corpse by then. Do you want me to kill Li Yi in front of the Investigation Bureau? Foolish." Yu Chuan said with some regret: "And didn't you see the punch Li Yi threw just now? The wind from the punch can reach me from a distance of seven or eight meters. A cultivator in the Spiritual Realm will be killed if he is hit by it."

"Even I am not sure I can take a punch like that."

The last sentence is the key.

Yu Chuan, a master of spiritual perception, did not have the confidence to defeat Li Yi. He even had a feeling that if he really fought with Li Yi to the end, he would be the one to die.

"How is this possible? He has only recently awakened his inspiration, how could he challenge spiritual perception?" Ning Wu opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Yu Chuan said solemnly, "Many things cannot be judged by appearances alone. His cultivation level is only good in terms of inspiration, but what if he has practiced other things? This world is very complicated. There are many masters, freaks, and lunatics. Spiritual perception is nothing. You have never seen a spiritual practitioner chasing after a master who has condensed his soul to kill him."

"Ning Wu, if you want to leave Tianchang City alive, just do your mission and get your sentence reduced by merit. Don't think about revenge or murder. As for the rare item you mentioned, don't think about it anymore. Whether it's true or not, it no longer belongs to you. You have to accept this reality. Many opportunities just pass you by and are gone. Don't keep thinking about it. You have to look forward."

After his earnest sermon, he hoped that his cousin would be able to untie her knot and come to her senses.

After all, Ning Wu has great potential for cultivation and is worth cultivating.

If that were not the case, he would not have made a special trip to Tianchang City to help Ning Wu complete the mission.

"Cousin, I, I understand that the matter with Li Yi should really end here. If we continue to entangle, it will not benefit anyone. Even if I really kill Li Yi, the rare item cannot be taken back, not to mention that Li Yi's strength is improving frighteningly fast now. Now I have to admit that I am no longer as good as him, but I am still a little unwilling to accept it. It is clear that an ordinary boy who was randomly recruited from an old city district has taken the rare item, killed Lao Ya, and ridden on my head in the blink of an eye. I can't accept this."

Ning Wu was silent for a long time at this moment, and finally took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"I can understand this feeling, but this is reality and you have to accept this cruel result." Yu Chuan patted Ning Wu's shoulder and comforted her.

"Let's go, cousin. After handing over this task, we will take on another one. After we have made meritorious service and our sentence has been reduced, I will leave here with you and never come to Tianchang City again." Ning Wu said.

"That's right." Yu Chuan said with some relief.

After saying that, the two of them immediately walked into the investigation bureau.
