Sky-cracking Rider

Chen Fei's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were not dazzled by the sudden burst of light-based spells. He maintained his usual vision.

To be precise, he had become accustomed to it.

Xiao Jiu used to greet him with "Light Burst Flash" at least seventeen or eighteen times a day. Flash after flash, he naturally adapted and became immune to this light-based spell.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

"Stand there, hands up!"

Following the shouts, several figures jumped out from the surrounding darkness, followed by several lights turning on, with numerous Illumination Technique light orbs rising into the sky, turning a hundred-meter radius as bright as daylight and making the rundown alley look even more dilapidated.

"Roar! Bring it on!"

The female Metallic Dragon, first to recover her vision, shook her head, her body's blade thorns bristling with murderous intent and emitting a sharp, trembling sound, ready to fight, prepared to revert to her original size and unleash her claws in battle.

At least a hundred Railgun Combat Rifles were aimed at the two humans and one dragon, especially at the latter. Anyone who saw Yilan could not help but panic tremendously.

The Metallic Dragon was completely immune to the Full Metal Bullets fired by the Railgun Combat Rifles.

"Are they gang members?"

Chen Fei's mouth twitched slightly. The gang members' weapons and equipment were surprisingly advanced. He knew that the Railgun Combat Rifle, like the Tactical Armor he was wearing, was one of the Sovereign Level current active-duty pieces of equipment.

Could it be that the gangs on Cangqiong Star were particularly aggressive?

"Imperial Security Department, both of you, surrender immediately!"

Finally, someone came up to Chen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu amidst the heavy encirclement.

"Imperial Security Department?"

Princess Lin Ziyu was greatly surprised. This was like a huge wave crashing into the Dragon King's temple.

Why would the Imperial Security Department surround the stronghold of "One-Leg" An Luota? Why would they surround her and Chen Fei as if they were facing a formidable enemy?

The person who came up to Chen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu held a sword in one hand and a combat pistol in the other, and said, "State your identities, and don't make any rash moves. The weapons here could open fire at any moment!"

Chen Xiao'er said to the clueless investigative agents irritably, "Chen Fei, mercenary!"

There were no military contractors on Cangqiong Star, but there were mercenaries. The work they did was basically the same: take people's money and help them out of disasters.

Princess Lin Ziyu stated bluntly, "Imperial Security Department Third-Level Investigative Agent, Yu Zilin. Would you like to see my credentials?"

The opposite party was an investigative agent. Coincidentally, so was she!

"Wait, you're an investigative agent?"

The investigative agents surrounding the two humans and one dragon looked at each other in surprise.

"How come I've never seen you before!"

The man standing in front of Chen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu kept sizing them up from head to toe.

A flash of bright light!

"Hiss…"

The man gasped as the little bird perched on Chen Fei's shoulder unexpectedly released a "Light Burst Flash" when he was unprepared.

Pay your debts fast in the twelfth lunar month; karma is swift!

Only then did the opposite party notice that there was actually a Pure Light Sparrow on the scene, at least at the Second Rank of Human Order.

Princess Lin Ziyu spoke calmly, "I'm from the Imperial Capital, would you like to see my credentials?"

The face was real, her voice was real, the fingerprints were real, she was indeed Yu Zilin at the moment. The only flaw might be the DNA sequence, because no matter what, Lin Ziyu and Yu Zilin were not twin sisters, and human cloning was against ethics, banned not only on Cangqiong Star but also on Blue Star.

"Please show your credentials, hiss…"

The other party hadn't finished speaking when he was again dazzled by another "Light Burst Flash" right in front of him.

He glared angrily at the little bird.

"Light Burst Flash!"

Covering his eyes, he retreated...

Chen Fei quietly handed a pair of sunglasses to Her Royal Highness, the best way to cope with "Light Burst Flash" was either to close your eyes or wear sunglasses.

Xiao Jiu released another large one, whitening the hundred meters radius around. Those staring at Chen Fei, Princess Lin Ziyu, and the female Metallic Dragon Yilan had no escape and were dazzled by the light, then plunged into darkness, with cries of ghosts and howls of wolves echoing.

The man who stepped back several steps in frustration said, "What's the deal with this bird?"

"Showing off a big knife before Lord Guangong's temple!"

Chen Fei thought, damn, do these guys even have any common sense?

"Chirp!~"

Another widespread "Light Burst Flash," this time no one was spared.

Chen Xiao'er didn't even bother to stop it.

Absolutely!

"Damn it!"

"I can't see!"

"It's not over yet!"

"Where did that Pure Light Sparrow come from!"

Many were vigorously rubbing their eyes, truly unable to endure continuous attacks from "Light Burst Flash" in the dark of night.

"Do you need to see my ID?"

Princess Lin Ziyu, gracefully poised with her sunglasses on, effortlessly pulled out the ID of Third-Level Investigative Agent Yu Zilin.

"Take them all, take them all away!"

The member of the Imperial Security Department, shielding his eyes and not daring to look directly at the two, waved his other hand irritably.

"Chirp!"

Little Bird's "Light Burst Flash" wasn't over yet, erupting every few seconds into a dazzling flash that illuminated not just the alley but even brightened half of the sky.

From a distance, it resembled the flickering lightning before a storm struck.

An hour later, Chen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu were locked up in adjacent cells in the Solitary Confinement Room of the Imperial Security Department's South Capital City Branch.

The female Metallic Dragon was allowed the luxury of a solitary room, even though she could break out at any moment, but she entered obediently as the Security Department represented the executive power of the Dynasty, without a single complaint.

"This is absolutely absurd!"

Despite being an Imperial Princess, Lin Ziyu was locked up in the Dynasty's own prison. She stood behind the bars of her cell, unable to resist commenting.

If it weren't for their correct procedure, she would have protested long ago.

"I wonder what this is all about, let's wait for the interrogation. Everything should become clear."

Chen Fei sat by the wall of his cell, not too worried, even though his Bracelet-Type Spatial Alchemical Storage Magical Artifact had been confiscated and he had been injected with a free dose of Supernatural Ability Suppressant.

The likes of Xia Ji probably wouldn't leave the Zilu Continent in a short time. Getting a lead and finding them was just a matter of time, even if it took a couple of years—the Death Curse would act, and they would have no escape.

However, the most important thing right now was to quickly understand what exactly happened to "One-Leg" An Luota, the local gang leader.

The smell of blood wafting from the courtyard, along with the reaction of the local Security Department, indicated that this local snake was probably in grave danger.

Moreover, Chen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu were most likely considered suspects, especially since they were accompanied by a Metallic Giant Dragon, making it easy for people to suspect them.

"Chirp?"

Little Bird clung to the bars, happily flying in and out—a sight of sheer joy and oblivious to the concept and confines of a prison, finding the environment both curious and amusing.

It was really just too bad—the detention center simply didn't have suitable confinement for it.

Even having to prepare a cage for the ubiquitous Pure Light Sparrows, the local Security Department might as well shut down.

To think that the Dynasty's highest law enforcement agency would squabble with a mere Pure Light Sparrow, securing the title of this year's best joke.

Just as Chen Fei was feeling bored, a dozen fierce and ferocious men were rushed into his cell by the Investigative Agent in charge.

The cell, which was spacious with only Chen Fei, soon became crowded.

It was an unavoidable situation; the Security Department branch was not a professional jail, and the number of cells was limited.

A group of filthy men was brought over, unable to be detained with Lin Ziyu due to her being a woman, so they were sent to Chen Fei's cell.

If they were sent to Yilan's cell, they probably wouldn't survive to see the next day—gone!

A brute with a band tied around his forehead and messy, wild red hair entered the cell and immediately sized up Chen Fei with a rough voice: "Hey! Kid, which gang are you from? I haven't seen you before."

Chen Fei countered, "Do you know 'One-Leg' An Luota?"

These men radiated the unruly air of gang members from head to toe—it was obvious they were no good. Perhaps it would be an act of justice to break their necks all at once!

Wait, that murderous intent wasn't intentional, Chen Fei quickly recited internally, "Namo Amitābha... "

Killing people on a whim is not right!

"Huh? You knew our dead boss!"

The group of brutes stared wide-eyed at Chen Fei, and then they roared together.

"Is it you, is it you who killed our boss!"

"Dammit, we've got to avenge the boss!"

"Beat this guy to death!"

...

Good grief!

It was already very fortunate that Chen Xiao'er didn't immediately twist these guys' necks. However, these fools not only lacked gratitude but also actively sought their own deaths.

Bang!

One brute hung against the wall; before he could slide down, a second brute slammed into him, and the screams compounded—the guy cushioning the blow rolled his eyes back.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth…

The corner quickly piled up with gang members, all disoriented and weakened.

After handling the men, Chen Fei sighed, rubbed his fists, and said, "Listen up, you guys. I came here to deal with 'One-Leg' An Luota, not to kill him. By the time I found his yard, An Luota was already dead, to be precise, I never even saw his face."

Lucky these fellows were sent to me—if they had been sent to the next cell, at least half would be dead by now.

"..."

The nearly unconscious brutes could hardly believe their ears.

This powerfully skilled young man wasn't the killer of their boss?

Seeing that they were still silent, Chen Fei continued irritably, "If you cut the grass, remove the roots; if I had killed An Luota, do you think any of you would still be alive?"

"Yeesh..."
