Chapter 19: Outstanding strength, Yuan Hua was captured
Lonely and quiet late at night.
It is not difficult to distinguish the sound coming from the west direction of the city. It is the sound of martial arts masters clashing their bodies.
Tie Tang spread out his leg skills and used his eight steps to catch the cicada with all his strength. As he rushed towards the west of the city, he felt relieved.
"This momentum... is definitely above Yi Jin. I didn't expect that boy Wu Qing to hide it so deeply.
Yihongyuan, Dongsu Racecourse.
As long as we catch Wu Qing, everything will come to light."
In the night, Tie Tang was like a cheetah, running at top speed.
He didn't see——
At a fleeting intersection, someone quietly opened the window and observed secretly.
"The tendons are strong and the bones are strong, and the blood and qi permeate the body. Can the muscles be easily accomplished?"
"How could it be so fast?"
"It was obvious that day that I had fallen head-first, lost all breath, and was already dead. Why could I wake up again?
Kumbhaka Kung Fu? Turtle Breathing Technique?
Wrong.
One month ago, he was only a minor expert in bone forging, so it was impossible for him to learn these strange techniques.
Weird, weird, things are a bit tricky and need to be reported again."
——
By the time Tie Tang arrived in the west of the city, the place had calmed down and he saw an unexpected figure.
"Duan County arrest, how come you are here?"
Duan Jingrui, he was actually here, which made Tie Tang slightly shocked. Then he saw that his clothes were messy and he seemed to have just fought with someone.
"Duan lived nearby and heard the police searching, so he got up and went out to check. Unexpectedly, he happened to bump into the thief."
Tie Tang frowned: "What a coincidence?"
Compared to Wu Qing, Tie Tang is more concerned about the person in front of him, who is most likely the murderer who wants to kill him.
With your wealth and life at stake, any case must be put aside.
"The chief catcher seems to have misunderstood Duan?" Duan Jingrui looked at Tie Tang calmly.
At this time, the head of the execution hall saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Ahem, the chief arrester, my subordinates are incompetent, let that Wu Qing thief escape."
After giving Duan Jingrui a deep look, Tie Tang turned around and asked.
"How to go?"
"He held Yuan Baotou hostage. We couldn't easily pursue him, so we could only watch him leave."
Tie Tang raised his eyebrows: "What? Yuan Hua was captured by him?"
"Exactly..." Hall Master Lin was so bent that he almost touched the ground. He was really unlucky tonight.
For the second time, a prisoner escaped from under his nose and a hostage was taken away. However, the hostage was the chief arrester's confidant.
Not only will this matter be laughed at if word spreads about it, but if it is actually implemented...someone will also be punished!
I'm just afraid that I, the leader of the torture hall, will end up doing this.
At this time, Jingrui came up to rescue him: "The chief arrester does not need to blame Hall Master Lin. In the opinion of my subordinates... the thief named Wu Qing has advanced cultivation and has reached the realm of martial arts.
It’s not something that can be captured by someone else.”
"Did you fight him just now?"
"Yes, my subordinates were the first to discover this person. Seeing his strange behavior, they stepped forward and tried to question him.
Unexpectedly, the other party attacked me without saying a word. Even I was caught off guard and was injured by his powerful eagle claw technique."
Duan Jingrui raised his right arm as he spoke.
I saw five deep claw marks on the outside of his right arm, which tore through two layers of clothing and penetrated his flesh and blood.
A faint trace of blood soaked the cuffs. Although the bleeding has stopped now, you can still see how dangerous it was before.
If he's not careful, his right arm may become useless.
Tie Tang was completely shocked now. He knew Duan Jingrui's cultivation level, and he had already reached the Marrow Cleansing Stage.
Even Coach Lin, who had successfully completed the bone marrow cleansing, thought that he could only compete in arts and not fight in life and death, but unexpectedly he got injured here.
Wu Qing...what kind of cultivation is he?
"The arrests in Duan County have been implicated. I am aware of this incident and will explain it clearly to the county magistrate. Don't worry, you will not be held accountable."
The surrounding policemen and officers, especially the leader of the torture hall, Lin, took a deep breath and relaxed a lot.
"But why was Yuan Hua captured by Wu Qing?"
Duan Jingrui explained: "I fought with the thief and attracted Hall Master Lin and others, including Yuan Baotou.
They wanted to step forward to help me, but they misjudged the thief's strength, and instead the thief captured Yuan Captou."
"Yuan Hua, didn't you ask him to close the city gate? By chance, he came to the west gate."
After everyone explained, Tie Tang roughly understood what happened.
"Everyone, Yuan Captou has been captured, and the murderer has escaped. We can't ignore it. We immediately gathered people and went out of the city to search in teams of three."
At this time, Hall Master Lin said: "Captain Chief, that boy Wu Qing said before he left that if he saw anyone chasing him again, he would kill Capt Yuan.
As long as you don't chase him, he will let you go until dawn.
That’s why we don’t dare to pursue you rashly.”
Tie Tang carefully recalled the previous interrogation of Wu Qing, and then asked Duan Jingrui questions.
"I know that Duan Xian has broken through to a small level of marrow cleansing. I wonder if it is possible to estimate Wu Qing's specific strength?"
"His strength...should be between the Dzogchen of Yijin and the Dacheng of Marrow Cleansing.
However, the other party has mastered martial arts, especially the powerful eagle claw technique, and has reached the state of jade marrow, which is very impressive."
At this time, a large number of police officers and guards had heard the news and rushed over, and a large group of people gathered in the dark place.
Tie Tang didn't waste any more time: "The arresting hall separated its troops, and one person led three people to go out of the city to search for traces of the thieves.
Attention!
The thieves have advanced martial arts skills. If you find any traces, don’t go forward easily and try to inform your colleagues around you.”
"Then Yuan Captou..." Hall Master Lin was still a little puzzled.
"Do you dare to guarantee... that Yuan Hua will definitely come back tomorrow? Catching traitors and arresting thieves is my job, so how can I trust what the thief says?"
"My subordinates dare not!"
"Let's go!"
The police here quickly divided the teams, and walked out of the city gate one by one in the night.
"Commander, why don't we search together?" Duan Jingrui said.
How could Tie Tang be with him?
Maybe he didn't find the culprit halfway, and he lost his life first. Now he is not sure about dealing with Duan Jingrui.
"Arrested by Duan County, since you have been injured, it is better to go back for medical treatment first to avoid further trouble."
"It doesn't matter, Duan's martial arts has been refined into his bones and is full of vitality. This small injury is insignificant."
"That being the case, Mr. Tie no longer dissuades him. The addition of the Duan County arrester is also a big help. However, Mr. Tie has other important matters. We will pursue the pursuit later. The Duan County arrester is invited first."
Duan Jingrui gave Tie Tang a strange look and said no more. He didn't bring anyone with him and left the city alone.
"Why does this guy become more and more disgusting the more I look at him? Does he want to kill me so much?"
The detective stood waiting, trying to figure out Duan Jingrui's thoughts.
If you went searching with him and were killed by him halfway, and then turned around and said it was Wu Qing who killed you, that would be really unreasonable.
And Wu Qing’s cultivation strength... is too abnormal.
Yijin Dzogchen?
Complete marrow cleansing?
It seems you can’t go wrong!
Wu Qing is most likely the real culprit in the two cases.
But there is still one thing that doesn't make sense: why was he captured by himself? Why did he choose to escape from prison?
It was after he killed Cuihong that he was caught by someone, which led to the incident.
Or after Wu Qing committed the crime...
Just like appreciating your own works, you return to the scene again to enjoy the expressions and shock of others watching your works, in order to satisfy your own vanity?
This is a typical criminal mentality that usually appears in serial murderers. If Wu Qing is this kind of person, it would make sense.
Not long after, a thin figure ran over.
"Brother Tang, I heard that Flattery Yuan was taken away?"
"Don't be so talkative. Your search skills are outstanding. Come with me to look for it."
"What's the problem? Where did they flee to?"
"Leave the city."
Bi Qi glanced ahead and said slowly: "In this direction... the thieves should go to Sifang Mountain, after all, taking the official road is too conspicuous.
Even if we don't chase him, he might be caught if he bumps into some expert on the way."
"Let's go!"
........
The two searched along the way and found traces of Wu Qing as expected, and their target was Sifang Mountain.
Going up this mountain again made Tie Tang unavoidable and a little frightened. The memories left for him by this place were not very good.
After searching for half an hour, Wu Qing didn't find it, but he did find Duan Jingrui.
"Brother Tang, aren't we looking for a thief? Why are you following Duan County's arrest?" Bi Qi was puzzled.
"Duan Xian's search skills are not bad. If you follow him, you can find Wu Qing. The most important thing is... I want to see if there is anything strange about him."
"Brother Tang, do you think Duan County arrested..."
"Shh!" Tie Tang raised his index finger.
Everything was still speculation, and he had no evidence to conclude that Duan Jingrui was the one who wanted to kill him.
Time passed bit by bit, and after another hour, the sky was already turning white.
There are many grasses and trees in the mountains, and ancient trees stand tall, looking like ghosts with teeth and claws in the hazy night, which is extremely strange.
"Brother Tang, it's better to keep chasing. If you go in this direction...it's Yinfeng Mountain."
"Yinfeng Mountain...."
Just as Tie Tang was thinking about how to continue, Duan Jingrui heard movement in the distance, and he also heard a loud whistle.
