From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword
Chapter 467 - 302 Suspicion

Under the cover of night.

A dark werewolf was running wildly along the Jinghai Expressway, trying to shake off the people tracking him.

However, his tracks had already been discovered, and without a superb means of escape, it was very difficult to evade capture within the territory of Da Xia.

He had no choice, having received a call from Rong Xincheng the night before, asking him to go to Iron Blood for cooperation in the investigation. He packed up his belongings and left his residence that same evening, seeking to flee abroad.

But what he didn't expect was that he'd be tracked down by an investigator from Iron Blood within just half a day.

Now, he could only panic and run madly on the expressway, thinking once he reached a sparsely populated area, he would hide in the hills and lie low in the forest for a while before figuring out his next step.

After a period of sprinting on the highway, he had exhausted a lot of his energy.

Worried that he wouldn't have enough strength to shake off his pursuers if they arrived soon, he glanced back and noticed a truck coming from behind.

He hid by the roadside, waited for the truck to pass by, and with a burst of speed jumped onto the truck, concealing himself among the cargo.

He reverted from his werewolf form back to human, wiped the sweat from his face with his hand, and gasped for breath.

Having exhausted much of his energy during the previous escape, he considered for a moment then took out a Superpower Potion, injected it into his arm, and rapidly restored his Source Energy and physical strength.

...

Elsewhere.

Inside the Iron Blood Coastal headquarters building.

Lu Heng and Chen Linian were walking out briskly, preparing to rush to the Jiang Bridge section of the Jinghai Expressway.

Seeing the two men in a hurry, Rong Xincheng quickly approached and asked, "Have you found You Jinghan?"

Chen Linian raised his hand to stop him, "You guys stay here."

Rong Xincheng expressed his concern, "I want to help. I'm his captain. He is a good person on ordinary days; he can't be a traitor."

Although Lu Heng hadn't told him the details of the investigation, he had already been questioned and could guess some information from the content of the questions.

Lu Heng considered for a moment and said, "Take him with us. Maybe he can persuade You Jinghan to cooperate with us."

After a moment's thought, Chen Linian agreed, "Okay, you can follow, but you must obey my command during the operation."

"Sure, sure," Rong Xincheng hurriedly agreed, joining the two in the car.

...

The Chongming Bird was the first to arrive at the Jiang Bridge section of the Jinghai Expressway, but after a search, the target was nowhere to be found.

Su Muyu reported over the communication channel, "The Chongming Bird has reached the predetermined location and has not found the target."

"Keep looking around, check out the passing vehicles, or places where he could hide," Lu Heng reminded.

"Okay, still looking."

The speed of the Chongming Bird was too fast, and if it used the skill [Flowing Light Shuttle], it could become a streak of light, flying out at a speed of 10×spiritual power (meters/second).

Su Muyu's spiritual power was at 125 points, which meant that the Chongming Bird's extreme speed could reach 1250 meters/second.

That was 3.7 times the speed of sound. A being running on the ground simply couldn't escape the tracking of the Chongming Bird.

After searching the area, the Chongming Bird found You Jinghan on a truck within more than ten minutes.

"Found him, he is on a truck," Su Muyu reported the target's location.

"Good, follow and wait for us to get there," Lu Heng urged the driving investigator to speed up.

They didn't bring the Mechanical Tiger this time; otherwise, they could have arrived at the destination faster.

...

As the truck passed through a highway service area and entered for a rest, You Jinghan, who had a keen sense of impending danger, got down from the truck, looked around, and spotting a hilly region to the west of the road, he left the service area and headed toward the forest.

Just as he was about to enter the woods, the Chongming Bird swooped down to intercept him and tried to communicate.

"You Jinghan, come back. Cooperate with the Iron Blood investigation. If it is clear that the issue is not related to you, they won't make things difficult for you," Su Muyu's voice came from the Chongming Bird.

You Jinghan was taken aback, having faced the Bloodline Demons together in the Quel'dorei World, he naturally recognized the Chongming Bird.

"Get out of my way! I won't go back with you," You Jinghan sped up towards the forest.

The Chongming Bird lunged at him to block his path.

You Jinghan let out a roar, entering his Dark Werewolf state, and with a swipe of his paw struck the Chongming Bird, sending it rolling several times.

However, the Chongming Bird, being of Quasi-S Level combat power, wasn't so easily defeated and continued to fly up to intercept.

...

After the Chongming Bird obstructed You Jinghan for more than ten minutes, Lu Heng, Chen Linian, and the others finally arrived.

From a distance, Rong Xincheng shouted with a megaphone, "You Jinghan, listen to me, don't resist, if you cooperate with the investigation, everything will be fine."

You Jinghan refused to listen, instead accelerating toward the woods.

Lu Heng, with the speed of Gale, chased after him, ready to catch You Jinghan and forcibly bring him back.

Just then—

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and You Jinghan fell to the ground in response.

By the time the gunshot was heard, You Jinghan had been shot.

Lu Heng pounced on him, pressing his hand on the wound, but the bullet's force was too great, and blood gushed from the chest wound.

Moreover, with a corrosion Special Effect on the bullet, even with his Dark Wolfman Class, life was rapidly slipping away.

The Chongming Bird in the air hesitated whether to pursue the shooter since her real body wasn't present, but to save the man, she had to rely on the Chongming Bird.

Lu Heng looked up and shouted, "Save him first!"

The Chongming Bird dove down, performing an energy conversion into [Life Tree Vines], trying to save You Jinghan.

However, the bullet was too powerful and combined with the corrosion, poison, and other effects, You Jinghan's vital signs continued to decline.
