Chapter 3

Irresistible!

Over the years, he had personally beaten dozens of people to death. The murderous aura accumulated from repeated bloody killings erupted in full at this moment, enough to terrify any ordinary person to the core.

"Die!"

At this moment, with only one meter left before hitting the wall, Ethan twisted his body, and as if defying the laws of physics, stood on the wall.

Yes!

Standing on the wall!

It was as if space had folded ninety degrees, the wall became the ground, and his whole body was horizontal, standing on the wall!

While standing horizontally on the wall, his feet and spine bent slightly with the inertia of being thrown.

Like a compressed spring!

The next second...

The spring snapped straight!

"Bang!"

The wall shattered!

The wall of this house was like being struck by a demolition ball, instantly cracking into a web of fissures two meters in diameter!

Dust flew everywhere.

The nearby window glass shattered completely, falling in all directions.

Using this explosive force, Ethan launched a fierce attack. The power rising from under his feet surged upward, squeezed through his spine, then into his right hand, and finally, like Mount Tai crashing down, smashed down with a thunderous force.

Formless · Six Harmonies.

A terrifying gust of wind rushed forward, compressing the air within several meters ahead, and around that compressed air, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard from the violent friction of the airflow.

Henry Cooper's pupils shrank sharply.

Not good!

"Roar!"

A sound like a tiger or leopard's thunder came from within Henry Cooper, his bones crackling all over.

At the brink of life and death, he pushed his ferocity to the limit, his blood and energy burning, mustering all his strength. Like a roaring tiger in the mountains, all his power seemed to solidify at this moment, meeting Ethan's thunderous blow head-on.

Tiger's Roar Shakes the World!

"Die!"

"Bang!"

A deep roar and the boom of an air blast sounded at the same time.

A visible shockwave swept up dust and sand, spreading instantly.

Dozens of meters away, the woman named Emily watched in horror as Henry Cooper's entire right arm twisted unnaturally, broken into countless segments, with the humerus piercing through flesh and exposed.

And the blow that shattered Henry Cooper's arm, carrying a suffocating, terrifying force, continued unabated, crashing into Henry Cooper's chest—right at his heart!

"Bang!"

At the spot where Henry Cooper was struck, his shirt worth tens of thousands was instantly torn apart, as if hit by a shell, caving in with a fist-shaped dent, breaking who knows how many ribs.

The force of the punch pierced through his entire body.

Even the clothes on his back exploded into countless scraps.

This king of Yunmeng City's underworld was sent flying eight meters, slamming hard into a utility pole. The steel-reinforced concrete pole snapped on the spot, stone chips flying, wires snapping, sparks shooting everywhere...

"You... who are you..."

Henry Cooper stared fiercely at Ethan.

"Not going to transform?"

Ethan thought to himself.

Standing eight meters away, he looked at Henry Cooper expressionlessly and said, "Ninth-generation successor of Dragon Fist?"

With a "bang," Henry Cooper's body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. His chest heaved for a moment, then gradually stopped breathing.

"Nothing special."

Ethan said.

The moment he spoke, he suddenly burst forward, darting toward Henry Cooper's body. Midway, an invisible blade appeared in his hand, stabbing fiercely at Henry Cooper's head.

Though Henry Cooper had already stopped breathing, he suddenly tried to get up, but was still a step too slow!

"Slash!"

Blood splattered!

The blade pierced straight through Henry Cooper's head, pinning it to the ground.

Immediately, Henry Cooper's struggling body froze.

The rapidly growing, almost demonic claws on his hand slowly shrank back, turning once again into the hand of a man in his fifties.

Chapter 2 First

Police sirens pierced the air.

Red and blue lights flashed.

Dressed in a black women's suit, looking more like an office worker than a major crimes officer, Emily Harris and her partner James Bolton arrived at the alley.

"Inspector Harris."

Outside the yellow police line, a man with an inspector's badge stepped forward: "Here is the victim's information. General manager of Longquan Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Henry Cooper, male, fifty-four years old this year..."

"Have you pulled the surveillance footage?"

"We got some of it, but... the suspect has strong counter-surveillance skills. While moving, he either stayed in the cameras' blind spots or covered his face in advance. Not a single camera caught a full image of him... I suspect this was a premeditated murder."

At this point, the man's tone paused: "The way the victim died is almost identical to the three victims in the '3.11' serial murder case—sixteen days ago, forty-four days ago, and seventy-nine days ago—all brutally killed by physical means... I have every reason to believe the killer is the same person."

"I'll go check the victim."

Emily Harris and James Bolton put on their expert badges and entered the cordoned-off crime scene.

Inside the scene, every key item had been marked.
