“You guys should leave now and not get dragged into this. We’ll talk another time.” Gu Qingshan said these words and walked out of the bar with large strides.

Anna immediately sobered up.

“D*mn, he’s so cool,” she murmured to herself as she looked at Gu Qingshan from the back.

Von Hord said, “Your Highness, there are a lot of people around, so we’d better leave first.”

“Why should we leave? This is such a good chance,” Anna’s expression immediately turned serious. “Start the evaluation right now.”

Von Hord had a wry smile as he replied, “Isn’t it a really bad time to start evaluating his battling ability? If you are accidentally discovered, there will be serious consequences for our diplomatic relations.”

Anna’s expression became stern as she looked seriously at Von Hord and said, “Our mission is to investigate what made the Impartiality Goddess suddenly stir up so many troops, and Gu Qingshan is the key person in this entire incident.”

She emphasized the next line, “His Majesty is still waiting for our answer.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Von Hord’s expression became serious again as he pulled out a small machine from the cabinet behind the bar. He placed it on the floor and started working on it.

“Uploading Gu Qingshan’s bio waves. Lock onto Gu Qingshan’s physical characteristics and start tracking. This is an order: 270 surveillance robots and satellites need to be on standby now.”

“On standby now,” replied many voices coming from the small machine on the floor.

“Secret satellite in the sky is on standby now,” an electronic voice rang out.

“Excellent. Comrades, this mission is very important. Please ensure that all surveillance equipment is working properly.”

“Yes sir.”

“Let’s start, then.” Von Hord clicked the button to confirm.

“Full evaluation of the target is now activated. System will start collating data.”

“27 April 3091, 2137h. Federation citizen, Gu Qingshan, male, 18 years old. Evaluation of potential will start now.”

A projection appeared in front of the two of them. The image projected was Gu Qingshan walking out of the bar at this very moment.

Everyone in the vicinity had already been evacuated, and there wasn’t a single person on the empty street.

The sound of the police sirens was getting nearer, and four patrolling, flying shuttles were flying toward this place in the air at high speed.

Before the flying shuttles arrived, they had sent an announcement that boomed through the entire neighborhood.

“Listen up. You are now a suspect in a murder case, so remain standing where you are and do not move. Otherwise, we will have to take action.”

Gu Qingshan stood where he was and looked at the flying shuttles coldly.

Suddenly, there was a flashing red light on one of the flying shuttles, and it caught Gu Qingshan’s attention.

“The laser designator has been activated.” Gu Qingshan’s expression froze.

Just as he had predicted, there was a boom from the mini railgun attached to the bottom of the flying shuttle.

A blue light cut through the skies, and the railgun sent a projectile toward the street, creating a huge abyss in the ground.

Dust flew everywhere, and there was smoke all around.

In the sky, another flying shuttle sent a stern query, “Police Shuttle 172033, why did you suddenly open fire? I demand an explanation.”

“I have authorization to do this. Officer, please check the latest instruction.” The flying shuttle that had opened fire didn’t seem to be bothered by this.

The other flying shuttle fell silent and finally spoke up after a while, “Check the situation immediately and confirm for dead bodies.”

The four flying shuttles slowly came near.

The smoke and dust slowly cleared, and the situation on the ground could be seen clearly.

There was no dead body on the ground.

Their murder suspect was standing high up on the top of a streetlamp and looking very coldly at them.

“D*mn it, he’s still alive! Prepare to fire together!”

But they had no such chance.

Gu Qingshan pulled his military bow back, filled it up with Spirit Power, and shot four arrows out at the same time.

Everything was a blur to the ones in the flying shuttles.

BOOM!

All four small police patrol flying shuttles caught fire and quickly tried to land elsewhere as smoke billowed from the flying shuttle.

The arrow had shot through their power engines; the flying shuttles would explode if they didn’t quickly land and turn off the engine.

Anna whistled and said, “He’s very professional.”

Tons of data flashed wildly on the optical computer across from Anna and Von Hord as the evaluating system was using everything it had to calculate the results of its observation.

Gu Qingshan stood on the streetlamp, and his expression was all calm.

He was now a Qi Refiner Level 5 cultivator. So after he had filled the arrows with so much Spirit Power, the damage they could cause had gone up.

His capability had gone up by more than double since the time he had killed Ferocious Tiger.

“Hahaha! Gu Qingshan! As a citizen of the Federation, you didn’t just resist arrest in public, but you even tried to kill the police!”

There was suddenly a gleeful shout from afar.

Gu Qingshan turned to see Nie Yun standing on the rooftop of a building. His beautiful flying shuttle was also parked there.

There were more than ten muscular and imposing-looking men standing behind Nie Yun.

Nie Yue folded his arms and pretended to sound like he had no choice but to do something like this. “Even though we are classmates, as one of the aristocratic families of Changning County, I am bound by my duty to help the police to nab a murderer.”

Gu Qingshan looked at Nie Yun and asked very seriously, “Why do you continue to create trouble for me?”

Nie Yun replied with hatred in his voice, “You made me lose $2,000,000 at the casino and killed off my hired expert. Did you think I was a pushover?”

He turned around and instructed, “Go and kill him. Whoever manages to chop his head off gets $10,000,000.”

All the muscular and imposing men looked at Gu Qingshan at the same time after hearing this.

This boy’s head was worth $10,000,000!

All of them started abseiling down the walls and jumped from the building—competing with each other to make their attack in Gu Qingshan’s direction.

Nie Yun elegantly picked up a glass of red wine and laughed loudly. “These are thirty genetically modified Martial Arts Masters, so there are enough of them to kill you by just sitting on you. That’s the power of the aristocratic families!”

Gu Qingshan scanned the Martial Arts Masters that kept drawing closer and closer to himself and he quietly raised his military bow.

His hand movements became mere shadows, and there was a continuous muffled sound coming from the military bow.

BOONG! BOONG! BOONG! BOONG! BOONG! BOONG!

The muscular man who was in the front of the pack trembled violently, and his expression instantly changed.

A grey shadow flew past where he’d been originally standing.

“So naïve.”

There was a cruel smile on the muscular man’s lips, but he only had time to say that one sentence before another arrow shot right through his chest.

A huge hole appeared in his chest. The hole was so large that you could see the buildings behind him if you looked from the front.

The muscular man collapsed on the ground and never breathed again.

There were more and more arrows in the sky, and the arrows started flying faster and faster. Gu Qingshan’s expression was completely icy while his hands never stopped shooting. He was like an arrow-shooting machine.

The arrows rained down, and the martial arts practitioners quickly tried to duck and find cover. None of them had any more energy left to rush forward.

Soon enough, they realized that they couldn’t avoid these arrows at all.

The grey shadows had become grim reapers, ready to take their lives from them.

One of the Masters realized that this situation didn’t bode well, so he pulled a box out from behind him and pressed the top of the box.

An Individual Exoskeleton Armor extended from the box and started attaching itself onto the Master.

An Individual Exoskeleton Armor provided pretty good defense and could increase the wearer’s strength. It also carried a firearms system meant for an individual to carry, so it was standard armor in the army.

Since he was a Martial Arts practitioner who had reached Master level because of genetic modifications, he was like a fruit that was artificially ripened. He had reached the level of Master, but had not truly comprehended the real power of a Master and didn’t mind using ammunition at all.

A real Martial Arts Master would rather fight barehanded, even in the midst of bullets. They looked down on weaponry and would never use something like this.

Gu Qingshan immediately noticed this man. He turned the longbow and started shooting rapidly.

DANG! DANG! DANG! DANG! DANG!

A series of bright sounds coming from the arrows hitting metal was mixed with flying sparks. That Martial Arts Master threw up a mouthful of blood toward the sky before collapsing onto the ground and didn’t move anymore.

There was a deep hole in that Exoskeleton Armor.

This level of armor was stronger than the steel plates on those mini flying shuttles the police used, but it was still no match for Gu Qingshan’s arrows that were filled with Spirit Power.
