Chapter 1563 — No Match, but Seeing That the One Dragged Out Was Shen Yushu, Big Mule Breathed a Sigh of Relief; If Gu Mengyao Had Been Harassed, Young Master Wen Would Have Regretted It to Death, and Though It Was Somewhat Unreasonable, No Great Harm Was Done After All

"Let her go!" Wu Chengtian shouted, swinging his fist at Zero One again, but Zero One paid him no attention at all, bent wholly on tearing at Shen Yushu's clothes!

"Bang!" Wu Chengtian's punch crashed into Zero One's head. Only after taking such a heavy blow did Zero One let go of the Shen Yushu in his hands, and, stung into fury, swung a fist back at Wu Chengtian!

By now Wu Chengtian could see it too. This Zero One possessed the strength of an early Xuan stage external practitioner, yet he knew no moves at all, and his attacks followed no method whatever, nothing but wild flailing. That, in turn, gave Wu Chengtian a chance to catch his breath!

Otherwise, with two evenly matched fighters locked in a fight to the death, both would likely have been badly wounded in no time. But because this Zero One seemed a little slow-witted, Wu Chengtian could just barely dodge whenever an attack came his way!

Once Wu Chengtian had sized up his opponent's strength, he had no thought of killing him. He was not Wei Zhao, with no ability to strike down enemies above his own level, and he could not easily kill even a master of his own rank. So Wu Chengtian simply turned a desperate struggle into a game of stalling. He would wait for the police to come, and then join forces with them to take this Zero One down!

Although the man looked very much like Wei Zhao, the moment they crossed hands Wu Chengtian knew he was not the real Wei Zhao. If Wei Zhao himself had struck, Wu Chengtian figured he would have been dead long ago. How could he have held out until now?

Qiu Lingshan had been waiting nearby for her prey to walk into the trap. The moment she received Gu Mengyao's call, she swung onto a police motorcycle and raced to the scene! She had not driven a car precisely because there were so many cars in the city, and a car was nowhere near as handy as a motorcycle.

With sirens wailing all the way and running several red lights, Qiu Lingshan reached the scene, only to see Wu Chengtian locked in combat with "Wei Zhao." Without another word, Qiu Lingshan leapt off her motorcycle and charged at that fake Wei Zhao, "Zero One."

"Hands up! I am the police! Do not move, or I will shoot!" Facing this fake Wei Zhao, Qiu Lingshan was full of anger. Not only had she been asked to leave the special task force, but he had also ruined Wei Zhao's good name. So the moment she arrived, Qiu Lingshan raised her pistol.

But Zero One did not even glance at Qiu Lingshan, still swinging brutally at Wu Chengtian. Although he could not do Wu Chengtian any real harm, Wu Chengtian was still struggling to hold him off, afraid that a single careless moment would see him caught!

"Bang!" Qiu Lingshan fired a warning shot into the sky. "Stop at once, or I will shoot!"

Zero One naturally paid Qiu Lingshan no heed, leaving her to threaten as she pleased.

Her warning shot having no effect, Qiu Lingshan leveled her muzzle at Zero One and pulled the trigger!

"Bang!" Qiu Lingshan's shot struck Zero One in the leg. Zero One gave a muffled grunt, but did not fall.

The instant the bullet struck his leg, Zero One suddenly spun around, ignoring the gunshot wound in his leg entirely, his eyes blood-red, and flew toward Qiu Lingshan with startling speed. In one move he snatched the pistol from Qiu Lingshan's hand, crushed it into scrap metal and threw it to the ground, an unnatural flush spreading across his face!

Big Mule, watching from not far away, saw Qiu Lingshan arrive and was about to report to An Jianwen when he froze. It looked as though Zero One had automatically activated his enhancement program, biting through the capsule in his mouth!

With that, Zero One's strength instantly rose to the peak of the late Xuan stage. Then Qiu Lingshan or Wu Chengtian alike were mere trifles in his eyes! Early Xuan stage and peak late Xuan stage were two entirely different concepts, the gap between them far too great!

Qiu Lingshan had never expected Zero One's speed and strength to surge so suddenly. At such speed, even she, an early Xuan stage master, could not react before her gun was taken!

But what horrified Qiu Lingshan was yet to come. After seizing the gun, Zero One showed no intention of sparing Qiu Lingshan, but slammed a palm toward her, so fast that she had nowhere to dodge!

In a single instant, Qiu Lingshan was sent flying backward by Zero One's blow, crashing heavily to the ground.

Qiu Lingshan spat out a mouthful of blood, staring in disbelief at the fake Wei Zhao before her, her heart filled with shock! An external master at the peak of the late Xuan stage, could the enemy really be this strong?

Qiu Lingshan at once regretted not calling for backup before she came... Relying on her status as an early Xuan stage master, she had thought she could easily capture Zero One! But then again, against an external master at the peak of the late Xuan stage, what good would backup have done? A madman of such strength was already beyond anything she could control. This would take the Mysterious Investigation Bureau to handle...

After knocking Qiu Lingshan flying, Zero One did not press on to finish her, but turned his sights on Shen Yushu once more, walking over to rip the clothes from her body.

"Sister Yao Yao, this man is so scary..." Although Shen Yushu had a poor impression of Qiu Lingshan, seeing her wounded while trying to save them still moved her to pity. "What should we do?"

"This man is very strong. I fear even Wu Chengtian is no match for him..." Gu Mengyao frowned, but right now, escape was clearly impossible.

"If only the real Arrow Brand Bro were here..." Shen Yushu sighed, watching the approaching Zero One warily.

How could Wu Chengtian let him get near Shen Yushu? Although he had seen Qiu Lingshan sent flying, Wu Chengtian still forced himself to rush forward, throwing a punch at Zero One. This time Wu Chengtian aimed for Zero One's chest, hoping to deal him a crippling blow!

Seeing Wu Chengtian charge over, Zero One paused his advance on Shen Yushu for the moment, leveled both hands, and met Wu Chengtian head-on!

Seeing Zero One react so quickly, countering in a mere instant, Wu Chengtian frowned, but still gritted his teeth. No matter whether Zero One might hit him, he asked only to wound Zero One gravely!

This man's skill had already exceeded Wu Chengtian's expectations. Wu Chengtian could not understand how he had gone in an instant from early Xuan stage to peak late Xuan stage strength, but no matter what, Wu Chengtian had to force himself to stop him!

"Boom--" Although Wu Chengtian's punch landed on Zero One's chest, Zero One's thrusting hands likewise stamped themselves upon Wu Chengtian's chest. Wu Chengtian cried out miserably, his body hurled backward, blood spurting from his mouth, his whole breastbone caved in by the blow. He crashed to the ground, unable even to crawl back up...
