I Have Infinite Skill Points

Wang Lan's cry of surprise instantly awakened Wang Qianfeng and the others. Right, was it just about embedding a virus in the connection? It was also an alert system. The decryption team's method was not too difficult; within a day, they would certainly finish decrypting it.

Even after so much disguise in the information, once the key point behind the numbers was noticed, decrypting these links was almost a matter of minutes.

The Demon Clan wouldn't expect Wang Lan to find the correct way to read. As long as someone downloaded their linked movie, it would be tantamount to telling them that their chat information had been captured and cracked, exposing all thirteen groups.

In haste, Wang Qianfeng picked up the phone. "Director, we've fallen into a trap and have triggered the target's alert system; they already know they've been exposed."

"Then proceed with the capture."

"Yes! I request He MingXue and Li Weixin to join the capture operation. We're dealing with an elite group of the Demon Clan; their strength should not be underestimated."

"Agreed, I'll call them right away."

「Three minutes later.」

All combat units of the Tianjian Bureau were fully assembled.

The Tianjian Bureau had rehearsed the capture drill many times. They were very proficient.

The Tianjian Bureau had eleven Red Elites, but that didn't mean these eleven Red Elites were all the high-level Star Cloud Stage warriors in the Bureau. In fact, many in the ranks of the White Lieutenants were in the mid to late Star Cloud Stage.

In terms of real strength, Wang Lan, a Lieutenant, is definitely an outlier. Mid-Star Shine Stage, a White Lieutenant of the Tianjian Bureau—if said aloud, nobody would believe it.

Therefore, even if they were to capture fourteen targets at the same time, the Tianjian Bureau could handle it with ease.

"Wang Lan, you'll join me in capturing Qin Jiaqing," Wang Qianfeng spoke indifferently.

"Yes!"

「As dusk fell and the brilliant lights came on.」

It was the peak hour for evening rush hour. The city's traffic police started blocking roads to clear the way for the Tianjian Bureau operation. The piercing sound of police sirens echoed throughout Suzhou City.

These thirteen individuals were spread throughout the city. As expected, as night fell, they all began to move. However, they were all under the Tianjian Bureau's surveillance for twenty-four hours. Even if they wanted to escape, it would be too late.

Wang Lan sat in Wang Qianfeng's car, joining Li Weixin en route to Xinyi Garden. Qin Jiaqing was a security guard in the complex. Before their car approached Xinyi Garden, a fierce whirlwind suddenly swept through the area.

The wind was so strong it was nearly impossible to keep one's eyes open. The residents' clothes hung outside were lifted into the sky by the whirlwind. Qin Jiaqing, who was opening and closing doors at the entrance, squinted his eyes slightly...

"You came quite quickly!"

Suddenly, a net made of wind blades formed in the sky and descended like a large net from above.

This scene went unnoticed by the pedestrians approaching the entrance.

Qin Jiaqing's figure flashed, teleporting onto the rooftop of the guard booth and spewing a dragon of fire toward the sky.

Fire overcomes wind. The sharp net of wind blades could cut through water, earth, metal, even lightning, but it couldn't cut through the inherently formless fire.

On the contrary, when the net of wind blades met the flames, a huge rift was torn open. As soon as the rift appeared, Qin Jiaqing's figure shot up like a rocket, rushing into the broken void.

Suddenly, Qin Jiaqing's eyes narrowed. A vertical column of water surged from the sky, crashing down like the Milky Way.

"HA—" Qin Jiaqing raised his hand to slash, and the column of water split in two. Yet, he also reluctantly fell back down.

BOOM—

The guard booth exploded, and the surging water sprayed all around. But it was blocked by an invisible barrier, spreading only within a fifty-meter radius.

"AH—" At this moment, the surrounding civilians realized what was happening and panicked, scrambling to flee in all directions.

"Others assist in evacuating the crowd! Barrier Group, stabilize the barrier for me! As for him, leave him to the two of us."

Wang Qianfeng and Li Weixin locked their sights on Qin Jiaqing, one in front and one behind. At this moment, Qin Jiaqing also transformed rapidly, changing from an old man in his fifties or sixties into a two-meter-tall Demon Clan warrior, covered in exoskeleton armor.

Seeing this Demon took Wang Lan by surprise.

Wang Lan had always thought that Demons looked like Biochemical Demon Soldiers with disgusting, wide-open maws and densely packed sharp teeth.

But the one before him seemed more like an action figure from an anime.

Its face had two large yellow eyes, like an insect's compound eyes, with no visible nose or mouth. A pale blue, jewel-like lamp was embedded in its chest. The full-body armor was segmented very logically, as if custom-designed.

The figure was slender, its muscle lines well-defined, not at all like the bloated and disgusting form of Chang Shuangyue after demonization.

"Suzhou City's Tianjian Bureau, Wang Qianfeng, Li Weixin. I didn't expect you to hold me in such high regard, letting the heads of the Intelligence Department and the Action Department join forces to catch me."

"Enough talk. You must be somewhat seasoned among the Demon Clan spies, judging by your appearance. You are a high-ranking Demon. If you are determined to serve the Demon Clan, I'll give you a chance to end things yourself.

"If not, I suggest you surrender. You know, you don't have a chance to escape."

"But I can kill you—"

As the words fell, the Demon's figure vanished in an instant, reappearing before Wang Qianfeng. With a swipe of its claw, Wang Qianfeng was instantly torn into several pieces.

This sight changed Wang Lan's expression drastically. But instantly, Wang Lan's face relaxed again. Wang Qianfeng's form dissipated into a breeze before reappearing behind the opponent, pressing a rapidly spinning wind blade saw against the Demon's back.

CRACK—

The Demon moved incredibly fast, responding in an instant, blades springing from its arms to slash at Wang Qianfeng behind it.

CRACK—

Despite the faint sound, infinite whirlwinds, carrying the water spray within the barrier, instantly shrouded the entire area within the barrier in thick fog.

Wang Lan and the others outside could no longer see the battle inside clearly. But deep, piercing reverberations from the battle echoed from within. Although invisible, one could feel the ferocity of the fight.

People in the residential complex were being rapidly dispersed. Despite his concern, Wang Lan was of no help. He was brought along merely to collect credit. If two Galaxy Stage masters from the Tianjian Bureau couldn't handle their opponent, that would have truly been a disgrace.

"Damn, the barrier's about to collapse! Brothers, come over and lend a hand!" shouted someone maintaining the barrier.

"Coming!" Another dozen or so Tianjian Bureau members who had been evacuating the crowd joined to support the barrier. Wang Lan wanted to help too, but he simply didn't know how.

BOOM—

An intense explosion suddenly erupted, shattering glass on several nearby high-rise buildings. Some of the evacuating civilians collapsed on the spot, terrified by the blast.

"Quickly retreat! Don't just lie there, get up and evacuate—"

BOOM—

Suddenly an even more terrifying explosion sounded. A dreadful pressure struck their hearts. Billowing waves of water swept out in all directions, and the barrier maintained by thirty Tianjian Bureau masters shattered violently amidst the battle.

A shadow turned into a streak of light, shooting off into the distance, with two figures instantly chasing after it like beams of light.

"Shit—" a comrade, who was swept away by the shockwaves and landed next to Wang Lan, cursed as he picked himself up again. "Even a barrier of this intensity couldn't hold! The power must be at least at the Star Sea Stage, right?"

Wang Lan hesitated for a moment before also quickly following suit. Although his strength was only at the Star Shine Stage, with the Phoenix form activated, he was definitely a Galaxy Stage expert.

The skill points stored in the Phoenix form had also reached a thousand; enough to support him for a couple of minutes.

Xinyi Garden was a large complex with 7,000 households, and evacuating such a massive complex wasn't so easy. Although efforts to disperse the crowd were vigorous, many people still remained in their homes, reluctant to leave.

Therefore, the battle must not be allowed to escalate and had to end with a kill in the shortest time possible. As for capturing him alive, Wang Qianfeng and the others had given up on that thought.

By the time Wang Lan reached Wang Qianfeng's side, both Wang Qianfeng and Li Weixin were standing by a building in the complex. On the ground by them lay a Demon Clan corpse, split in half.

"Is he dead?"

"This is his shell. He has escaped."

"He must be hiding nearby. He is badly wounded and couldn't have escaped under our watch," Li Weixin said somberly.

Wang Lan scanned the surroundings and suddenly noticed a few dark spots on the exterior wall of a nearby residential building.

"Director Wang, look, could those be bloodstains?"

"On the twenty-fifth floor! Up!" As soon as his words fell, Wang Qianfeng charged straight up the residential building, running up the vertical facade.

Wang Lan wanted to follow, but he realized he had yet to learn this skill. With no other choice, he rushed into the building. Inside the elevator and the stairwell, people were intermittently rushing out in panic.

It took Wang Lan three minutes to reach the twenty-fifth floor via the elevator.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, the sounds of intense combat came from inside one of the apartments. Wang Lan burst in, ready to activate his Phoenix form to help, when a dark shadow rushed out the window and vanished into the night.

"You think you can run—"

With a fierce shout, Wang Qianfeng turned into a gust of wind and pursued the shadow out of the window. Wang Lan didn't even have time to activate his Phoenix form before Wang Qianfeng and Li Weixin had already given chase.

"Quick, over here—" The voices of his Tianjian Bureau comrades sounded in his ears.

Only then did Wang Lan notice the two bodies lying in the apartment. A man and a woman, both around thirty.

They might have been preparing to dine—the woman was carrying a dish from the kitchen when a Demon struck her in the chest, gouging out her heart. The man, panicking, ran towards his right, likely for the bedroom, but the Demon attacked him from behind, gouging out his heart as well.

The thick scent of blood assaulted everyone's nostrils, and their eyes reddened at the sight.

"Where's the Demon?"

"He escaped through the window. Director Wang and Director Li have chased after him. I saw Director Wang hit the Demon again just now; he probably won't get far."

"Damn Demon! What should we do?" The dozen or so people around all stared intently at Wang Lan.

"Uh? You're asking me? I'm new here."

"But you're in white clothes. We're all in green clothes. Of course, we'll follow your lead."

"We... let's stay here and wait for orders then."

"Who's there?" Suddenly, a Star Martial Warrior tensely fixed his gaze on a room inside the apartment and shouted aggressively.

BANG—

After kicking the door open and rushing into the room, they found a girl around ten years old fearfully hiding in the corner, staring at them in terror.

"Who are you... why are you in my house... where are my mom and dad..."

"Are you alone in the room?" Wang Lan asked, puzzled as he entered the room.

"I had a fever... I've been sleeping all afternoon. Who are you? Why are you in my house?"

"Don't be afraid, little one. We're police officers. A bad person came into the complex just now, and we're here to help you," one of the warriors said gently, walking in and tenderly taking the girl's hand.

Perhaps the military uniforms gave the girl a sense of trust. She looked up and asked, "Uncle Soldier, where are my mom and dad?"

"Your parents are hurt. They've just been taken to the hospital for treatment."

But in the living room outside, her parents already lay cold.
