Essentially, my act of blending Sword Intent into the Swarm was akin to transforming myself into a virus to infect a host.

And when “it” discovered me, it definitely tried everything in its power to eradicate the contamination and purify itself.

This was completely understandable, just like I was doing everything possible to kill “it”.

“Why do you ask this?”

Hearing Fu Qian ask if there was another warehouse, Lanaia couldn’t help but frown.

In the next moment, her expression turned stern, and she somewhat understood Fu Qian’s meaning.

...“Are you suggesting that the killer might strike again continuously?”

“While I can’t rule out that possibility, how can you be so sure?”

She frowned, looking at Fu Qian.

“Not sure, it’s intuition.”

Fu Qian stretched his body recklessly.

“The intuition of a Swordsman.”

…

Getting winded just by talking about being fat?

Although I don’t know how you managed to involve Sword Intent in your cross-disciplinary work, isn’t it a bit exaggerated to talk about a Swordsman’s intuition?

“Focus on driving.”

Without looking, Fu Qian knew what was going through Lanaia’s mind at that moment.

“How did you feel about that move I made just now?”

“It was fairly good, I guess.”

Expecting Fu Qian to boast, Lanaia responded somewhat casually.

“Even though I don’t know how you did it, it was indeed true Sword Dao Essence, and it was full of murderous aura.”

“In fact, more than just murderous aura, when I swung that sword, my intuition told me that indulging in wanton slaughter would allow it to grow continuously.”

“Are you trying to say…”

Lanaia began to understand what Fu Qian meant.

“And after hearing your description of the scene just now, my first reaction was actually somewhat excited!”

Fu Qian made a shocked expression on his face.

“I even had the urge to replicate it verbatim, and that’s why I say it’s a Swordsman’s intuition.”

“Then I thought about it, and if someone like me were to rush to the next site, I might encounter that person!”

Are you trying to say that you can fully empathize with the murderer?

After Fu Qian finished speaking, Lanaia fell into a long silence.

She hadn’t interacted much with this temporarily recruited strong-arm and could not say she understood him well.

But Fu Qian’s tone was so certain that it made her involuntarily consider the possibility of such a scenario.

After a slight hesitation, she directly dialed Jia Yi’s number.

From the other end, Jia Yi found her question a bit strange, but still reported the address of another warehouse.

Lanaia immediately demanded, with an irrefutable tone, to rendezvous there directly.

Although Jia Yi had a belly full of objections, he ultimately agreed to her decision.

It’s about time!

Fu Qian overheard their entire conversation.

Recalling the timing of the last warehouse attack, it should be just right.

…

When the two arrived, Jia Yi was still on his way.

Before the car even stopped, Lanaia’s expression changed as she heard screams from ahead.

Unable to contain her surprise, she burst out of the car, sprinting toward the direction of the sounds.

Fu Qian got out of the car behind her and didn’t rush over. Instead, he surveyed the surroundings.

Just then, a sword qi filled with the scent of slaughter tore through the sky, slashing straight towards his back.

Unexpectedly attacked from behind, Fu Qian moved as if he had eyes in the back of his head, taking a seemingly slow but quick step to barely dodge the strike.

Turning around, he saw a tall and skinny figure wrapped in a cloak, with a mask on the head, standing there, making a gurgling noise from its throat.

“My intuition was not wrong, the target is here!”

“I can feel it… My Sword Dao is thirsty for your blood!”

Ruan Shuo’s voice came from underneath the mask, sounding like a bloodthirsty beast.

That’s what you think, but in fact, that may not be your intuition at all!

Fu Qian silently criticized in his heart.

The Ruan Shuo who should have been on a killing spree inside had actually played a trick, drawing Lanaia away before launching a surprise attack on him.

Fu Qian didn’t believe that “it” wasn’t behind this.

He could only say his judgment just now was correct; the assault on the information flow was just the beginning, and the targeting was becoming more frequent.

“Die!”

Ruan Shuo, clearly aware of the urgency of time, didn’t waste words and charged at him directly, his killing intent exploding in an instant.

The power was even more exaggerated than last time!

Faced with Ruan Shuo’s fierce onslaught, Fu Qian recalled the scenes of their encounters at the Academy.

Compared to that time, this Sword Intent seemed to be even more brutal.

Of course, it had also become less rational, as his mind was increasingly affected by the Sword Intent.

The Sword Intent, already capable of slaying a Fifth Phase Transcendent, was now showing its ferocity even more.

Confronting this sharp sword qi, Fu Qian didn’t dodge or evade but punched out.

He didn’t do anything fancy, and he even refrained from using the newly comprehended Ten Thousand Sword Intent.

When his mind was in chaos, he had to fight in a more simplistic manner.

Amidst the dense sounds of breaking bones, Ruan Shuo, transformed into the sword of slaughter, was sent flying backwards, smashing heavily into the wall.

His courage was commendable, but courage alone was useless. After the failed sneak attack, he had no more chances.

Although nearly mutilated, Ruan Shuo still struggled to rise, but unfortunately, before he could succeed, he was smashed down by a surge of energy.

This time he never got up again, dying cleanly and neatly.

“Here she comes.”

Fu Qian nodded to the approaching Lanaia, who was incredulously sizing him up, seemingly unable to believe that he had knocked out the target with a single punch.

“Seems my instincts were right, he did come this way.”

Fu Qian didn’t care what she was thinking, wanting to get things done quickly as he still had a lot to do.

“What’s going on here?”

At this moment, Jia Yi hurried over with a few others.

Seeing his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, he must have already received a report on the way.

Whew!

Lanaia exhaled and decided to stop pondering Fu Qian’s issue for the moment, stepping forward to lift Ruan Shuo’s mask.

“If things are as expected, he is the one who attacked your warehouse.”

Lanaia clearly didn’t recognize Ruan Shuo.

“Now we just need to confirm his identity.”

This…

Looking at the body on the ground, Jia Yi’s expression was somewhat strange.

“How did you know he would attack here?”

“Intuition!”

Fu Qian’s answer was concise.

“That reason won’t convince anyone, I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain it when I get back.”

Jia Yi frowned, fully embracing a spirit of skepticism.

“You come here without any reason, beat someone to death, and then claim he’s the culprit. How do I know this isn’t all prearranged?”

“What are you implying, Mr. Jia?”

Lanaia immediately got angry.

Although Fu Qian’s reason was indeed far-fetched, Jia Yi’s accusation was a bit too much.

“No other implications, just that things are odd and my suspicion is reasonable, right?”

“Reasonable.”

Fu Qian, on the other hand, agreed.

“By the way, have you tallied the casualties?”

He then asked casually.

“The warehouse here? One dead, two injured.”

Jia Yi huffed.

“No! It’s two dead.”

Fu Qian shook his head.
