So, who could it be?
Qin Tian was confused, but he couldn't get the answer yet.

The only thing he was sure of was that the decrease in gunfire was not a good thing. The unknown battle might be coming to an end, and the mercenaries might leave behind corpses and quickly evacuate.

Time is tight.

Realizing this, Qin Tian quickened his pace and waved to the team members behind him to keep up.

They must rush to the scene as soon as possible and not let the clues they have worked so hard to find be interrupted.

Just then, the last gunshot broke the silence.

boom!
Silence returned to the dense forest again, and there was no sound anymore.

Qin Tian frowned and ran towards the scene as fast as he could.

Less than ten meters away from the gunshot, he stopped, hid behind a tree and looked ahead vigilantly.

Ten meters away, a young man was standing alone. His black robe was stained with blood, his hair was messy, and he was holding an unidentified object in his hand, motionless.

And in front of this young man, there seemed to be another figure, but that figure was only half as tall as a man, and looked a little weird, as if two people overlapped on top of each other?
From this angle, Qin Tian couldn't see the specific posture.

He held the gun carefully, with his team members following closely behind him.

Just as he took a step forward, the young man suddenly looked up and looked straight at him.

Qin Tian was stunned, then frowned and asked, "I am Qin Tian, ​​the captain of the Cheetah Special Forces of the Yunhai City Military Region. I am here to capture a group of mercenaries. Young man, who are you? Why are you here?"

The young man, Qin Tian, ​​just looked up at him and said nothing.

Having just broken through a new realm of cultivation, he needed more time to comprehend and digest it. Therefore, after learning that the visitor was from the military, he naturally relaxed his vigilance.

So he put down the Demon-Breaking Sword in his hand, took two steps back, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Qin Tian was stunned.

He looked at Qin Tian with surprise as he sat on the ground with his eyes closed, and quickly quickened his pace to check.

When he and his team members approached and saw the scene before them, everyone was stunned.

Hiss hiss hiss.

The team members gasped, everyone's face was filled with astonishment and horror, and their mouths were wide open as if unable to close.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, smoke, and gunpowder, which intertwined and continuously penetrated into everyone's nostrils.

The bright red blood soaked the earth, making the withered weeds glow with new vitality and appear bright red.

The corpses wearing camouflage combat uniforms were lying here in various postures; some were lying on their backs, some were lying on their stomachs, some were lying on their sides, and some were even with their heads separated.

The most terrifying thing was that the corpse sitting opposite Qin Tian had been completely separated from the head to the abdomen.

Dark brown blood flowed out, and the organs in the abdominal cavity were exposed.

Although the special forces present were accustomed to death, they still felt a little uncomfortable after seeing the corpse.

After all, this corpse no longer looked like a "human", which inevitably made them feel the uncanny valley effect.

But Qin Tian quickly adapted to all this. He stepped forward and observed the corpse carefully.

Judging from their clothes and the calluses on their hands, these people were obviously the group of mercenaries that sneaked into Yunhai City.

Qin Tian looked around at the corpses and then turned his gaze back to the body that was split into two halves.

The cut was extremely smooth, and it was obvious that it was caused by some sharp weapon.

He immediately walked back and forth between the corpses, observing the wounds with a gloomy expression.

After checking all the corpses, he turned his attention to the Demon-Breaking Sword placed next to Qin Tian.

As he approached he noticed the sword.

Although he had some guesses before, he did not focus all his thoughts on this sword.

However, now after seeing these wounds and the death, he had to focus all his thoughts here.

Looking at the knife on the ground and then at the young man with his eyes closed, Qin Tian already had the answer in his mind.

But his eyes were filled with solemnity because he had just noticed that the knife was not sharpened...

Then he turned his head to look at the corpse with the extremely smooth wound and fell into deep thought.

How could an unsharpened knife create such a clean cut? It's incredible...

……

Yunhai City, temporary combat command center.

Zhao Yiran clenched his fists, his anger was evident and there seemed to be flames dancing in his eyes.

Boom!
He slammed his palm heavily on the table, turned around abruptly, and glanced at the deputy commander and a group of officers behind him with a sharp gaze: "No clues yet?"

The deputy commander, chief of staff and others stood with their chests puffed out, staring straight ahead, in silence.

Zhao Yiran turned around, his eyes narrowed slightly: "The operation has been launched for an hour. With the efficiency of our two special forces, the search should have been completed long ago. Why is there no feedback yet?"

"Could it be that those mercenaries disappeared out of thin air? Or are your soldiers too incompetent to even capture a group of mercenaries!"

Zhao Yiran's angry shout exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

The deputy commander hesitated for a moment and responded, "Commander Zhao, the Wild Wolf Special Forces just sent us intelligence that they seem to have discovered the traces of the mercenaries and are currently working with the Tiger Special Forces to encircle them."

Zhao Yiran raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why didn't you report it in time?"

The deputy commander paused for a moment and said, "The main reason is that the Wild Wolf Special Forces also detected gunshots. The situation is unclear and this information may be misleading. Therefore, I would like to wait for further confirmation of the intelligence before making a detailed report so that we can make corresponding strategic deployments."

Zhao Yiran didn't get angry, he just stood there quietly.

Suddenly, a prompt tone sounded from the Bluetooth communication device.

Zhao Yiran and the officers present were all cheered up.

Zhao Yiran quickly pressed the communication button.

Chen Wu's urgent voice was heard from the Bluetooth device.

"Command center, this is the Tiger Special Forces, Captain Chen Wu reporting in, there is an emergency that needs to be reported!"

Hearing this, everyone's spirits perked up, with anticipation glittering in their eyes.

Zhao Yiran asked anxiously: "I'm Zhao Yiran, tell me the situation!"

Chen Wu did not dare to neglect it and immediately reported: "Report to the commander, that group of mercenaries... have all been eliminated."

"Eliminated?" Zhao Yiran's eyes widened in astonishment, as if he had heard something incredible. The Tiger Special Forces' actions were so swift? The members were so strong?

Was it so easy to deal with those mercenaries?

According to intelligence, those mercenaries are not ordinary people and are well-known in the underground world.

It was beyond Zhao Yiran's expectation that the Tiger Special Forces could annihilate them so quickly.

His original plan was to mobilize troops to encircle and disperse the mercenaries, and then have two special forces annihilate them separately, which would be both quick and reduce casualties.

But now it seems that this plan is no longer necessary.

This is undoubtedly good news, very good news.

A smile appeared on Zhao Yiran's lips. Although he tried hard to restrain himself, his joy was still evident.

"You did a great job! You immediately returned with the bodies of the mercenaries. The Tiger Special Forces Team made a great contribution this time!" Zhao Yiran praised loudly.

The officers behind him also showed expressions of relief and joy.

They have been worried about this matter for the past two days and are looking forward to resolving it as soon as possible and capturing those mercenaries.

Now, the Tiger Special Forces have wiped out those mercenaries and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Chen Wu's strange and complex voice came from the Bluetooth communication device.

"Reporting to the commander, it was not our Tiger Special Forces who annihilated those mercenaries."

Zhao Yiran was stunned for a moment, frowning, and immediately asked, "Isn't it your Tiger Special Forces? Is it the Wild Wolf Special Forces?"

But then he thought of the gunshots heard by the Wild Wolf Special Forces in the intelligence mentioned by the deputy commander.

From this point of view, they should not be the mercenaries annihilated by the Wild Wolf Special Forces.

"It's not the Wild Wolf Special Forces either." Chen Wu confirmed again.

Now everyone present was stunned, and the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Zhao Yiran pondered for a long time with a confused look on his face before asking, "Then... who wiped out those mercenaries?"

Chen Wu, who was on the line, took a deep breath and replied seriously, "Commander, based on my observations at the scene, it should be a young man holding a demon-breaking knife who wiped out all the mercenaries alone."

……

Hearing this, Zhao Yiran's expression instantly became solemn, his eyes narrowed slightly, his lips tightly closed, and his heart was full of doubts.

He pondered for a long time before whispering to himself, "A young man killed an entire team of mercenaries with a knife?"

"Yes... yes, Chief." Chen Wu's voice sounded a little uncertain in the communicator.

Zhao Yiran took a deep breath and continued to ask: "How many mercenaries were there? How many bodies were found at the scene?"

"Reporting to the commander, a total of 12 bodies were found at the scene, nine of which were beheaded, two were split in half, and one had its throat cut." Chen Wu quickly analyzed the situation at the scene and made a report.

After listening to Chen Wu's report, Zhao Yiran frowned. He said in a strange tone with a complicated expression: "How could one person with a knife kill 12 armed mercenaries? Do you think it's possible?"

"Commander, the situation at the scene is indeed like this. I am not lying, nor am I exaggerating, because there are indeed no other traces at the scene." Chen Wu's tone was full of helplessness and shock.

The facts are right in front of him, he has no need to hide them, and he will not choose to hide them.

Zhao Yiran paused after hearing this, and then ordered seriously: "Immediately bring all the bodies of the mercenaries and the young man back to the military area. Tell the young man not to worry, he killed the mercenaries, so to a certain extent it is not considered murder, but rather he is a hero of our military."

Zhao Yiran did this to dispel the young man's concerns, but he would also like to see someone kill foreign criminals in a critical moment.

If the young man was still convicted of intentional homicide at this time, it would likely discourage more people and make them choose to flee when facing foreign criminals. Although fleeing is the safest way, in this critical situation, the young man undoubtedly saved the military.

Therefore, this young man must be treated as he deserves by the military, rather than simply judged according to the law.

"I understand, Chief. I'll take people back right away." Chen Wu's voice quickly came from the communicator.

Zhao Yiran then hung up the phone with peace of mind, and the solemnity on his face, the gloom and heaviness in his heart were all gone. However, there was still some doubt and confusion on his face.

The young man with the knife made him so confused.

After all, how did one man with a single sword kill 12 mercenaries? This is an important and puzzling question.

Compared with cold weapons, hot weapons should be faster no matter how you think about it.

But the incident had already happened, and he could not refute it, nor did he have any reason to refute it. Everything could only be discussed after the young man returned to the military region.

If the young man really had such ability, then he would not need to deal with the subsequent matters.

"Did you hear that? Those mercenaries have been eliminated. So our next task is to find the contact person."

"And all the information must be collected back. No information can be leaked out, otherwise it will pose a major threat to our military." Zhao Yiran immediately turned around and gave the order with a stern tone and a serious expression.

After hearing the order, the officers present all raised their hands to salute and responded in unison.

Then they immediately threw themselves into their respective work, some looking up information and some carrying out tasks.

Only Zhao Yiran was left standing in the temporary combat command center. He looked at the big screen quietly with his hands behind his back. The expression on his face was unpredictable, but his heart was calm as water.

However, he knew that the current peace was only temporary. He was eager to see the young man who killed a dozen mercenaries with a knife.

……

An hour later, in the military district reception room, Chen Wu walked in front and Qin Tian walked in behind. Chen Wu opened the door and let Qin Tian in, then he left.

Qin Tian didn't hesitate and just found a seat to sit down.

Since he was brought back to the military region by the special operations forces, his Demon-Breaking Sword was temporarily taken away, and he himself was also brought back to the military region in the name of assisting in the investigation.

However, Qin Tian did not feel panicked or confused, because he knew that he was killing criminals from abroad.

To a certain extent, this is not a crime.

Moreover, it was the overseas criminals who took the initiative. From a legal perspective, it would be very reasonable for him to be convicted of excessive self-defense or legitimate self-defense.

After all, those are foreign criminals, not even citizens of the country. Instead, they come to endanger the country.

However, Qin Tian also understood the real reason why the military brought him here, and he knew that the military had no ill intentions.

So he came here very cooperatively, as he also needed time to digest the swordsmanship that had just broken through the second level.

When Chen Wu and others hurried over, Qin Tian was sitting on the ground, closing his eyes and concentrating, carefully feeling the new changes brought about by the second level.

This breakthrough in realm mainly improved his accuracy and the sharpness of his five senses. (End of this chapter)
