Chapter 143: Weak Chicken
The young police officer was very excited, but Chen Dali was confused.
“What cultivation, what supernatural abilities?”
“Them?” The young police officer looked at the people who had already entered.
Chen Dali punched him in exasperation, “These are Ancient Martial Artists!”
“Ancient Martial Arts?” It really was a mysterious power.
The Return to One Group didn’t pay attention to Chen Dali and the others’ actions.
Qi Kui asked, “Leader, judging from this, this place isn’t safe, should we relocate? Also, if this is a trap set by Poling, then are the Poling people really in Anji Town? Could it be a smokescreen they deliberately released to lure us here?”
“Stay here!” It was Fu Ziqi who spoke.
She was expressionless, “The person I’m looking for is here, so the person you’re looking for should also be here.”
Qi Kui was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
Yan Jiuxian understood what Fu Ziqi was saying, “You sensed it?”
Fu Ziqi nodded, “I’ve sensed it since entering this Anji Town. Aunt Tao is really here!”
Fu Ziqi stopped talking, instead, she lifted her foot and walked around the area, inside and out, then returned to her original spot.
She raised her hand, her open palm suddenly clenched tightly!
Only a few crisp cracking sounds were heard—
Something shattered.
“Holy c*ap!” A teammate from the third team suddenly exclaimed and jumped back a few steps.
Everyone looked over and saw a pattern appearing where he had just been standing, emitting a black light, an aura of danger.
Not just in this spot, but many other places also showed this pattern!
“Th-th-this…” Someone gulped, “What is this? A formation diagram?”
“Strangulation Formation.” Yan Jiuxian glanced at it and uttered the name of the formation.
“Leader actually understands formations?” Chu Yi was surprised.
Not just her, the other members of the Return to One Group, apart from knowing that Yan Jiuxian’s Ancient Martial Arts was outstanding, didn’t know that he also understood formations.
Qi Kui was relatively calm, “The problem now isn’t this, but how we should deal with this Strangulation Formation.”
He had only seen records of the Strangulation Formation in books. It was said that a Strangulation Formation set up by a high-level Formation Master could kill even Heaven Rank masters!
Qi Kui looked at Yan Jiuxian and Fu Ziqi.
He knew that Fu Ziqi seemed to understand formations very well.
Chu Yi also remembered that Fu Ziqi had personally captured the Evil Cultivator from the Poling Organization who was very skilled in formations.
“Miss Fu, do you have a solution?”
Fu Ziqi didn’t even lift her eyes, her fingers drew a pattern, and then…
The formation patterns on the ground that were emitting black light disappeared.
Fu Ziqi flicked her hand, looking a bit disdainful, “This is the weakest chicken formation I’ve ever seen. The formation diagrams I drew at three years old were more durable than this.”
Everyone: “…”
Alright, you’re amazing, whatever you say.
“Miss Fu, what should we do next? To avoid alerting the enemy, should we still stay here?”
✿✿✿
“Where else can we go if we don’t settle here?” Fu Ziqi glanced at Qi Kui, “Also, when I broke these weak chicken formations, I already alerted the enemy.”
Qi Kui: “… What?”
Fu Ziqi raised an eyebrow, looking at him like he was an idiot, “Don’t you know that when a Formation Master’s formation is broken, the Formation Master can sense it? I’ve broken all the formations here, so the Formation Master who set up the formations should… have lost half their life by now, right?”
Formations like the Strangulation Formation were very mentally taxing. She had easily broken them here, so the other side would inevitably suffer a backlash.
Qi Kui was momentarily stunned, “Then we…”
Fu Ziqi said, “You should figure out why the place you chose to settle in was pre-emptively sabotaged.”
Actually, this was quite easy to understand. Chen Dali found the place, so it was likely that something went wrong on Chen Dali’s side.
Chen Dali and the others had listened to their conversation the whole time, and after thinking about it carefully, they were also scared.
If they had been completely unaware today, wouldn’t they all have died here?
Chen Dali had witnessed the fantastical methods of these Ancient Martial Artists… These days, it wasn’t just cold weapons and firearms that could kill people, there were also those mysterious methods, even more terrifying than cold weapons and firearms.
Chen Dali immediately said, “I’m afraid someone colluded with the criminal gang! Rest assured, I will give you an explanation!”
Fu Ziqi: “I’m going to look for someone later, you guys find a few who aren’t easily burdens and come with me.”
Fu Ziqi was confident in herself, and Yan Jiuxian wasn’t a freeloader either, but she was worried about any special circumstances. If she needed people, it was better to bring a few just in case.
“Hey, me, me, me! Can I go?” The young man in plainclothes behind Chen Dali’s face was filled with excitement, raising his hand, looking like he was eagerly hoping to be called upon.
“Zhang Mingyang!” Chen Dali almost lost his footing when he heard him speak. He turned his head and saw his foolish look, not understanding the gravity of the situation, and kicked him, “Go, go, go, where are you going? You still want to go? Look at yourself, last time we were arresting people, you were actually deceived by her innocent appearance. No brains, no skills, and you’re still trying to show off here?”
Zhang Mingyang looked aggrieved, “Director Chen, if you don’t want me to go, just say so, why do you have to be like this?”
Chen Dali was still talking about something that happened a year ago. He had been doing odd jobs for almost a year and was finally approved to go out on a mission, but there was nothing amazing about it. That middle-aged woman had a haggard and pitiful look and even chatted with him about everyday things, not looking like a criminal at all. He almost let her go because of a moment of soft-heartedness. Luckily, Chen Dali arrived in time.
Since then, Chen Dali had been using this incident to “motivate” him.
Zhang Mingyang himself knew it was his fault and felt embarrassed every time it was brought up.
Fu Ziqi, however, took a few more glances at Zhang Mingyang, lingering on his brow for a moment.
Oh. How strange.
“Alright, you come with us.” Fu Ziqi looked at him.
Zhang Mingyang was stunned. Chen Dali was also stunned.
“Really? I can really go?” Zhang Mingyang was still a youngster after all. When he heard that he could go, he was almost jumping for joy.
Chen Dali was dumbfounded, “No, Mr. Yan, our, he’s just an ordinary person.”
Chen Dali was truly doing this for Zhang Mingyang’s own good.
He had personally witnessed the methods of the members of Chu Yi’s team in the Return to One Group. Even their injuries were so horrifying. How could Zhang Mingyang, an ordinary person, handle these matters of Ancient Martial Artists?
To put it bluntly, if something really happened, these people from the Return to One Group were all from the Ancient Martial World, they would definitely have the means and methods to deal with it, but could Zhang Mingyang? He was just an ordinary little police officer, he hadn’t even graduated after two years under his command!
With this, how could he be at ease?
