The Flash?

Inside an abandoned factory,

The place was covered in scorch marks from flames. The temperature was extremely high, and even the air seemed distorted. A corpse lay on the ground, cut cleanly in two at the waist, blood and intestines spilled everywhere in a horrifying sight. Another headless corpse lay nearby, its head blown apart.

If Chen Wang had been here, he would have recognized the corpse cut into two as the young man with some backing in Qiongqi Mining—the one with two dimples when he smiled. Firebird, a Tier 3 Genetic Soldier with a formidable Flame Ability. This stretch of ruins had been his handiwork, but now he was dead. Not only him—another Tier 3 Soldier from Qiongqi Mining had also had his head smashed apart.

In the empty room stood only a beautiful woman in a black fitted tank top and a pair of scorching-hot denim shorts.

The woman was exceptionally seductive and sexy. Her legs were long, straight, round, and firm; the denim shorts could barely cover half her buttocks, displaying her alluring figure to full effect. Her black tank top revealed a deep, breathtaking cleavage.

A young man with Sha Qi on his face leaned against the doorway. He had a buzz cut, green military trousers, and a simple T-shirt. Though it had been washed until it had faded white, he still looked clean and sharp.

The young man said coldly, "The higher-ups said to keep it under control. Don't alert the people from Qiongqi Mining."

The seductive woman in the daring outfit blinked, looking a little aggrieved. "I only killed two people. Just now, I ran into Qing. He's already killed four, and he's gone to the specimen room."

When this seductive woman spoke of killing, there was a strange excitement in her eyes. Speaking in such a coquettish voice only made her seem all the more bewitching.

The young man with Sha Qi on his face said flatly, "The higher-ups released people like us. If the repercussions become too severe, sooner or later they'll put us back in confinement."

The beautiful woman in shorts and a fitted tank top smiled seductively. "With the Commander gone, isn't that bound to happen sooner or later?"

The young man with Sha Qi on his face fell silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Don't make another move. Qiongqi Mining has sent quite a few people this time. Don't cause unnecessary trouble. I don't want to say this again."

His gaze was sharp, but his eyes were bloodshot and veined, as though he had been sleeping very poorly.

The tall, beautiful woman smiled sweetly. "Fine, fine, fine. Why don't you say that to Qing again?"

The young man with Sha Qi on his face remained expressionless as he turned and left.

The three of them came from a special institution within the Church—the Adjudication Team.

This institution specialized in executing traitors and handling extremely complicated matters for the Church.

Even within the Church, it was notoriously infamous.

After the Brigade Captain of the Adjudication Team mysteriously vanished three years ago, the members of this institution had gradually been suppressed. Even though the Church was filled with fanatical believers, they still had no desire to deal with the Adjudication Team's people. These people were bloodthirsty, paranoid, and twisted—every last one of them was insane.

Yet they were powerful—powerful enough to make one's heart tremble. Every one of them was a killing machine. Thus, the Church's upper ranks currently both used and suppressed this group. After all, a blade that was too sharp could sometimes cut its own wielder's hand. The Church wanted to sow destruction and rebuild its rule, not destroy itself.

The fact that this seductive woman could kill two Tier 3 Soldiers alone, and do so with ease, already spoke volumes.

Qing, meanwhile, was a Tier 3 Thunder God. He wielded the power of lightning, with extreme speed that was impossible to guard against.

The stunningly seductive woman left the factory, and her figure flowed into the shadows like water, disappearing...

A Tier 3 Genetic Soldier, a Shadow Demon danced with the night and could meld into shadows. It was a pinnacle assassination soldier.

On the other side, Qing and Chen Wang met on a narrow path. Qing transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged at Chen Wang! He had immense confidence in his speed. As fast as lightning was, that was how fast a person could be. In the blink of an eye, he had reached Chen Wang. Even with Chen Wang's reaction speed as a Tier 3 Soldier, he found it somewhat difficult to deal with. Yet a faint glow suddenly lit up before him. Though gentle, the light carried an incomparably heavy feeling.

Clang! A deafening boom rang out, sparks flying everywhere!

That dazzling bolt of lightning turned into a human figure—it was the young man in Casual Wear from earlier. Surprise flashed in Qing's eyes. "An Earth Mutant?"

Only a few soldier types could face his surprise attacks head-on, and Earth Mutants were among them, possessing powerful defensive strength.

Chen Wang raised his hand, and several fierce streaks of Sword Qi tore through the air.

At that distance, even though the young man in Casual Wear transformed into lightning again to evade, his sleeve was still slashed open. His sword-like brows furrowed, Sha Qi lurking in his eyes.

"You're not an Earth Mutant. What soldier type are you?"

The young man's voice rang out, carrying a hint of excitement. His eyes brimmed with fighting spirit.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

There was no denying that this young man in Casual Wear was very strong. Earlier, Chen Wang had fought a Tier 3 Soldier—the handsome young man from the Church.

Later, he had learned from the captain of the Public Security Bureau's Enforcement Team that the man was a Tier 3 Genetic Soldier, a Martial Warrior exceptionally skilled in close-quarters combat.

Yet even someone like that could not evade the Splitting Light Shadow Sword, while this young man could.

Sensing the force of that strike just now, Chen Wang silently calculated its power.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and pulled the trigger. An icy bullet erupted from the muzzle!

Boom!

The powerful weapon in his hand blasted a hole straight through the wall, but the shot did not hit Qing, the young man with the indifferent expression.

Qing moved with extreme speed. Even without using his ability to become lightning, he was far more formidable than ordinary Tier 3 elite soldiers.

With a flicker of movement, he streaked through the air in an afterimage and charged before Chen Wang once more.

Clang! Another deafening impact! Sparks flew in every direction as a bolt of lightning struck heavily against the shield before Chen Wang, again and again!

Yet the shield before Chen Wang was completely unaffected. The Earth Spirit Ring, an early-stage Mid-Grade Magic Tool, possessed powerful defensive abilities. It was a finely crafted Mid-Grade Magic Tool.

Lightning sparks flashed, and Qing appeared three meters in front of Chen Wang. His expression was cold and stern, but his eyes held the fanatical fighting spirit of a madman.

A twisted, sickly smile appeared on his lips. "Qiongqi Mining actually has such a powerful warrior. Interesting!"

As soon as the words fell, his figure vanished again. When he reappeared, he was already before Chen Wang! This ability to attack in the form of lightning was extremely strange and difficult to defend against.

Especially while transformed into lightning, he could ignore damage, and his speed was so fast that he was difficult to track. But Chen Wang's Earth Spirit Ring possessed extraordinarily strong defenses; even Qing could not break through it.

Bang! Sparks scattered everywhere!

Qing directly dodged the bullet, the corner of his mouth curving upward. "You're not a professional gunman. You can't hit me."

With that, he charged again, his movements leaving an afterimage in the air, too fast for the naked eye to follow.

Even a Tier 2 Eagle Eye could not keep up with Qing's speed.
