This...!!

The Seventh Vice Minister opened his mouth, looked at Lin Fan still looked calm, but his heart was once again filled with turmoil.

"The fortune-telling of cultivators is actually this accurate?"

He was unable to remain calm.

It's not that I didn't think Lin Fan could figure out where the murderer was, but the problem is, isn't this just too much?

You've already figured it out for them before they even arrived.

Isn't this similar to 'knowing how many years ago'?

"As expected of cultivators, we still know too little about them. In the future, things will definitely get better and better."

"Moreover, Lin Fan is far too powerful. He's probably already beyond the scope of current scientific understanding, isn't he?"

"The limits of carbon-based life?"

"Judging from him, there are no limits to carbon-based life forms..."

The Seventh Vice Minister murmured to themselves, and at the same time, they gained a completely new understanding of Lin Fan's abilities, and were amazed.

In reality, Lin Fan, who appeared calm and collected, was actually quite bewildered inside.

"You actually predicted it accurately?"

"And it happened before he arrived... Wow, so, I was actually that good at fortune telling?!"

He had no idea how astonished the Seventh Vice Minister was at that moment, and how he had even imagined himself to be an absolutely invincible 'master'...

If he found out, he would definitely be both amused and exasperated.

on site.

Liu Gang and the others were also filled with questions and shock.

What the hell is going on here?! Let's search and investigate this grove of Small Woods...

Okay!

When we arrived, we saw a run-down Small Woods. Was it really necessary?

But given their orders, they could only search once. And what happened after that? They found absolutely nothing!

However, Liu Gang cautiously ordered everyone to search again, but deep down he was already unsure, feeling that the Seventh Vice Minister might have spread some false information, but he just couldn't say it outright...

But now...?

Good heavens!

Just as we were all gathered together, the murderer jumped out and appeared in front of everyone.

And it just so happens that it happened when we reunited, when our 'fighting power' was at its peak?!

Liu Gang was quite frightened.

Is it a coincidence?

"No, impossible. This is too much of a coincidence. It can't possibly be a coincidence, and the Seventh Vice Minister has no reason to be so clear about everything."

He was utterly shocked.

If one didn't know much, they wouldn't be so shocked.

But it is precisely because Liu Gang knows so much that he finds it incredible.

So, how did the Seventh Vice Minister obtain such accurate information? Through technology? Through satellite lock-on?

Current technology hasn't developed to that point yet!

Even if things have progressed to that point, what makes them so confident in calculating the exact timing?! And what makes them so certain that the other party would enter this Small Woods?!

This is not 'scientific' at all!

Therefore, it is definitely not done through scientific means. Since it is not done through scientific means, it can only be done through the means of the immortals.

Lin Fan, a cultivator!

This person, really...

Liu Gang could no longer remain calm.

Just in time!

Everything was too coincidental, too unbelievable, too frightening!

Not a minute earlier or later, it really has to be this exact time!

Why?

If they had searched a minute earlier, they would have already started searching again, and their personnel would have dispersed, and they might have been discovered by that guy beforehand.

One minute later? That's about right!

Only at this moment, at this exact time, after searching around, did they meet in the center of the Small Woods, and then the other party 'delivered themselves' to them.

Now, with dozens of cameras and microphones pointed at the perpetrator, how can he escape? He has no chance of getting away!

Although Liu Gang and his group were also cultivators, and their cultivation levels were likely higher than their opponents', wasn't this the safest and most 'powerful' opportunity?

Absolutely!!!

So, his calculations were that accurate?!

Liu Gang was shocked, but he didn't show it too much. Instead, he immediately scolded, "Ma Xiaofei, you can't escape now. Surrender immediately!"

Click click click...

All the firearms were loaded onto the platform; even the RPG on Liu Gang's shoulder was already locked onto a target...

Across from him, Ma Xiaofei felt his whole body stiffen. After the initial shock, all that remained was endless fear and confusion.

This was the first time since he ' Entering Dao ' that he had felt the crisis of death!

This was unbelievable to Ma Xiaofei.

"That's impossible!"

He angrily retorted, "I have already Entering Dao, I am a cultivator, how could mere firearms possibly harm me? It must be an illusion..."

These words were spoken.

Liu Gang and the others laughed.

However, many people in the live stream felt that Ma Xiaofei's words made sense!

Cultivators.

Immortal!!!

These words and phrases are considered too sacred and lofty by Hua Nation, as if they were symbols of omnipotence.

How could such an amazing creature be harmed by ordinary firearms?

"You have three seconds to surrender, or you'll find out."

Liu Gang spoke again, then began counting without stopping. "3!"

"I don't believe it!" Ma Xiaofei's expression changed slightly.

"2!"

Whoosh!

Although his whole body was ice-cold, his scalp was tingling, and his heart was pounding with fear, Ma Xiaofei still instantly lunged behind a large tree.

"So fast!"

"He really is a cultivator!"

"With this guy's speed, he could win a championship in track and field or the Olympics in no time!"

"Holy crap, he's running away! Is the Resident Happiness Living Department even capable of handling this?"

Just when the audience was shocked and thought the Resident Happiness Living Department was out of the question...

Bang!

No nonsense!

If I say three seconds, then it's three seconds.

You want to run away?!

A soldier carrying a sniper rifle fired directly.

Wow!

The tree trunk cracked.

Before Ma Xiaofei could even feel relieved after rushing to the tree trunk with his extraordinary speed, he felt death approaching and frantically moved his body.

Even so, the peanut still grazed his thigh and shot out.

The trouser leg was instantly torn, and a bloody scratch was also left on his thigh, with blood spurting out immediately!

"This?!"

Ma Xiaofei was shocked.

"A bullet can hurt me?!"

He panicked completely.

It was just a simple graze on the inside of my thigh, yet it easily broke through what I thought was an invincible defense, causing me to bleed profusely?!

This scene was captured on live stream.

Countless viewers were equally astonished and shocked upon seeing it, and at the same time... felt confused and somewhat disappointed.

In a university dormitory, several people watching the live stream started shouting at each other.

"Are you hurt?"

"It didn't hit the target completely, it just grazed it, right?"

"He's spitting blood!"

"So, cultivators aren't actually that strong?"

"One shot would be enough!"

"Yeah, if it were one-on-one, maybe the police or something couldn't beat them, but it seems like with a few more people, they could easily shoot them down?"

"Wow, are cultivators really this weak?"

"Are you an amateur? Cultivators vary in strength. The area where Ma Xiaofei lives has only recently experienced Spiritual Qi Revival. He's probably just a novice who's just Entering Dao. It's normal for him to gather a little bit. Don't think that all cultivators are so weak. I feel that the more powerful cultivators are definitely not afraid of guns and cannons!"

"How did you know? Could it be..."

"That's right, I'm a ten-year veteran reader of QiChuang Chinese Website!"

"..."

"This gun... is it specially made?"

Lin Fan was a little curious. He wasn't a military enthusiast and didn't know much about these guns and ammunition, but they looked different from the ones he had used in games before.

I guess so.

The Seventh Vice Minister shook his head and smiled wryly, "However, they are not for dealing with cultivators, but rather some powerful instruments that were specially developed."

"It's so that even a single soldier can easily take down tanks, armored vehicles, and the like."

"But now we've put it to use, haven't we?"

Then, he added mysteriously, "However, according to our research, the skin toughness and muscle defense of Qi Refining Stage cultivator can be easily penetrated by ordinary sniper rifles, and even at close range, normal handguns can penetrate them."

"But isn't this just to show off our strength, to make an example of someone?"

Lin Fan: "..."

That's amazing!

He then realized what was happening.

Indeed, since the people in the Resident Happiness Living Department have all started cultivating immortality, how could they not be researching it?

What is the defensive power, attack power, and speed of Qi Refining Stage cultivator?

They must have used various scientific methods to verify this multiple times, and they know it very clearly.

The reason for carrying such powerful equipment... was entirely to intimidate people, rather than because they didn't know what level of power would be needed to defeat their opponent.

on site.

Ma Xiaofei was scared. He stood there, controlling the little True Essence he had left to block the wound and stop bleeding.

At the same time, he finally 'woke up' and no longer felt 'invincible'.

But this clarity filled him with immense fear, along with deep anger and even despair.

"That's not my fault!"

He screamed, "I never intended to kill them, but they all deserve to die!"

"They forced me to this! You... don't force me either!"

Ma Xiaofei appeared to be insane.

Upon seeing his expression, Liu Gang knew that the Seventh Vice Minister had most likely guessed correctly, but he could only say, "In any case, it is a fact that you killed your entire family. Surrender immediately, and we will naturally investigate the cause and effect thoroughly."

"The last shot was a warning. If you dare to resist, the next shot won't be so easy."

"We could even take you out with a single shot whenever we wanted."

"We're giving you this opportunity to surrender now because there are some suspicious points in the case, otherwise..."

Swish, swish, swish!

As soon as Liu Gang finished speaking, a patch of red dots appeared all over Ma Xiaofei's body, and the source of the dots was... the guns in the hands of Liu Gang and his men.

"Don't doubt that we have this capability, in fact..."

"Monkey."

Liu Gang looked at his companion beside him.

One of the red dots on Ma Xiaofei's body immediately opened and locked onto a moss-covered rock seven or eight meters away.

then...

Bang!!!

Boom!

Almost instantly, the stone exploded!
