I Start with a Mysterious Island-Chapter 105: Superpower, ’Invisible Shockwave
Lin Li stopped in his tracks, a surprised look on his face. He sensed the female Investigator’s Spiritual Energy Wave suddenly intensify.
’Second Rank Middle Stage. So that Investigator wasn’t even using her full strength before.’
The female Investigator unreservedly drew upon the Spiritual Energy in her Dantian. The intensity of her Spiritual Energy Wave instantly surged from Second Rank Initial Stage to Second Rank Middle Stage.
The bald man, covered head to toe in purple scales, had already run about ten meters away. But then the Investigator, now displaying her true power, leaned forward slightly and vanished from where she stood.
’So fast.’ Lin Li, a mere spectator, was witnessing an Investigator arrest a cultivator for the first time. He was utterly dumbfounded by her incredible speed.
He secretly compared her to himself. ’If I were up against her, trying to escape with speed would be a complete fantasy.’
The bald man covered in purple scales fled for his life, but he didn’t even have time to react before the Investigator caught up and struck him with her palm.
BAM.
The beautiful Investigator’s fair palm looked soft and delicate, but the force it carried when it struck the bald man’s scale-covered back was shockingly immense.
An Invisible Shockwave emanated from the Investigator’s hand as her fair palm landed on the bald man’s back.
In the area where her palm landed, the bald man’s clothes and the purple scales beneath them were instantly obliterated, leaving behind a mess of mangled flesh and blood.
"Aaargh!"
The injured bald man screamed in agony and pitched forward.
THUD.
He tumbled across the ground, his head smacking hard against the curb.
If his head hadn’t also been covered in purple scales, which absorbed some of the impact, the blow would have split his skull open.
"Boss...!!!"
The tattooed man never imagined that his formidable boss could be taken down so easily with a single palm strike from the female Investigator. It looked like he was badly hurt, too.
The fear drained what little color was left from his face. He lay motionless on the ground, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
’That palm strike... The Investigator must have used her Superpower. Otherwise, how could a normal blow shatter his clothes and the scales on his back?’
Lin Li mused to himself as he watched the bald man lying six or seven meters away, his back a mangled mess facing him.
The female Investigator stared coldly at the motionless form of the bald man on the ground.
Although she loathed this criminal, who was wanted for several crimes, she only had the authority to apprehend him, not to pass judgment.
A judge would decide his ultimate fate. She couldn’t let him die at her hands.
CLICK, CLACK, CLICK...
The Investigator clicked over in her high heels to the bald man’s side. She crouched down, reached out, and checked his pulse. Finding him still alive, she thought to herself...
’I was already holding back, and he still went down that easily? What a waste of a big frame.’
Once she confirmed the bald man’s life wasn’t in danger, the Investigator stood up. She then looked over at Lin Li, who was watching the show from a short distance away.
"Sir, this is an official Investigator matter. Please stand back."
"Alright." Lin Li nodded, then pointed behind the beautiful Investigator. "That one’s trying to run."
"Hm?" Alerted by Lin Li, the Investigator immediately spun around. She saw the tattooed man—the one she’d hit with a crippling blow—stealthily scrambling to his feet to make a run for it.
The tattooed man, still smarting from the painful blow, had hoped to slip away while the Investigator’s attention was elsewhere.
He never expected to be ratted out by some nosy spectator. He shot Lin Li a venomous glare before staggering off in a desperate attempt to flee.
"You dare run?"
The Investigator immediately gave chase. Compared to the bald man, the tattooed man was far weaker.
With a cultivation of only First Rank Initial Stage, he was barely stronger than an ordinary person. Against the pursuing Investigator, a Second Rank Middle Stage powerhouse, he was like a helpless chick facing a ferocious tiger—utterly incapable of putting up a fight.
THWACK.
The Investigator caught up to the staggering tattooed man and took him down with a single kick.
"Mercy! Investigator, I know I was wrong! I won’t run again, I swear! Spare me!"
Scared out of his wits, the downed man curled into a ball, protecting his vital areas. He wailed and begged the Investigator for mercy, terrified that she would kick his important parts again.
"Hmph."
The Investigator was, after all, a professional officer of a government agency, not some street thug. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
She had no intention of using excessive force on a begging criminal. With a cold snort, she walked over to the designer handbag she had dropped, unzipped it, and took out two pairs of handcuffs.
CLICK. Just as she finished cuffing the trembling tattooed man, the Investigator once again heard the spectator call out, "Investigator, the guy covered in purple scales is getting away!"
’Is this ever going to end?’ the Investigator grumbled to herself, annoyed by Lin Li’s latest update. She had just finished cuffing the tattooed man. She lifted her head and looked to a spot not far from where Lin Li was standing.
Lin Li was pointing at the bald man. His back a bloody mess, he was climbing to his feet, ready to bolt again. The man was glaring at Lin Li with pure rage.
Although the Investigator’s palm strike had injured the bald man severely, it wasn’t enough to knock him out cold.
The moment the Investigator’s palm had connected, the bald man knew his own cultivation was no match for hers.
His chances of escaping from her were slim to none. Feigning unconsciousness was his only hope.
Playing dead was a good move. It bought the terrified bald man the second chance he needed.
When he heard his subordinate get kicked to the ground in the distance, the bald man knew his opportunity had arrived. He immediately scrambled up from the ground, ready to run.
Unfortunately, just like his subordinate, he was ratted out by the spectator.
