Chapter 197: Geng Biao's Mutation

"You... you are people from the Inspection Bureau?!"

Geng Biao widened his eyes in disbelief, watching as Tang Ying and Chen Che took off their wigs one by one, unable to believe that his foolproof plan had a single flaw.

"If you have anything to say, come back to the Inspection Bureau with me."

Tang Ying said expressionlessly.

"Want me to surrender without a fight? Impossible!"

Geng Biao could not accept that he had fallen like this; he pulled hard on his left wrist, which was being gripped by Chen Che, but he could not move it even a little bit.

"Let go!"

Geng Biao was exasperated; his True Qi exploded from his body, and all his strength was concentrated in his left hand, yet he still could not shake Chen Che in the slightest.

Chen Che and Tang Ying frowned at the same time; clearly, they hadn't expected that he was actually a Martial Artist too!

Before this, there hadn't been any fluctuations of True Qi on him!

"You had better behave yourself; that way you can suffer a little less physical pain."

Chen Che exerted force with his wrist, and Geng Biao grimaced in pain.

"Want me to accept my fate? Impossible! I have obtained power! Is your Inspection Bureau really that amazing?!"

Geng Biao suddenly let out a roar, his neck twisted to a horrifying angle, and his abdomen bulged high.

Chen Che was stunned; before he could react, Geng Biao had already opened his mouth wide and sprayed out a purple-black mist.

The purple-black mist instantly filled the entire room, blocking even their line of sight.

"It's poisonous! Quickly circulate your True Qi!"

Chen Che was forced to let go of Geng Biao and quickly diverted his True Qi to prevent more poisonous gas from entering his body, then inserted a Ghost Gate Needle into an acupoint to expel the inhaled poison.

Geng Biao pulled his arm back and took the opportunity to sprawl on the ground, his joints reversing until he was crouched like a locust; a coat of True Qi clung to his body, evolving into sharp True Qi Bone Spurs from his chest and back.

His head was still twisting in an unnatural way, emitting a series of hair-raising clicking sounds.

"Go to hell!"

Geng Biao suddenly sprang up and pounced toward Chen Che!

Tang Ying covered her mouth and nose, retreated to a corner, and shouted into her miniature communicator: "There is poisonous gas! Don't come in yet, hurry and evacuate the crowd!"

Mu Xiaoqing at the command post was the first to see the changes in the room and was deeply frightened by this shocking scene of Geng Biao spraying poisonous gas.

Yet she still forcibly suppressed her fear and relayed Tang Ying's order: "Hurry and evacuate the crowd!"

The combat members of the Inspection Bureau immediately took action!

Mu Xiaoqing shouted into the communicator: "Captain! Captain! How are you doing?!"

Tang Ying coughed violently and had difficulty breathing; even though she had circulated her True Qi as quickly as possible to resist the poisonous gas from entering her body, she had still inhaled a small amount, and at this moment, her whole body felt as if it were being pricked by needles.

"Ah!!"

"I don't want to die!!"

"Someone save us!?"

The teenagers in strange clothes were also startled by this sudden turn of events, and combined with the effects of the poisonous gas, they all sobered up.

Intense fear gripped their hearts, and they all shouted and screamed for help.

"I'm fine! Evacuate the crowd as quickly as possible, and at the same time, get the relevant people to clear the poisonous gas!"

Tang Ying followed the sounds to find the location of the teenagers, rushed over, and used her True Qi to form a Protective Shield, enclosing herself and the teenagers inside.

"Everyone stay calm, with me here, you won't die!" Tang Ying's face was dark, yet she still squeezed out a smile at the teenagers behind her.

"Big sister, you are a Martial Artist and from the Inspection Bureau, you must save us!"

A girl grabbed Tang Ying's arm, her face covered in tears, her makeup ruined.

"By the way, big sister, your partner is still fighting Geng Biao, will he be alright?"

A boy asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, he is very strong, he will be fine."

Tang Ying replied, but she looked at the thick purple mist with a worried expression, her eyes full of concern.

She didn't doubt Chen Che's strength, but Geng Biao was too bizarre!

How could anyone spray poisonous gas from their mouth?! Even animals couldn't do that!

Facing such a bizarre person, was Chen Che really okay?

Tang Ying dared not be certain; furthermore, she couldn't see the scene inside the mist at this moment, only hearing Geng Biao's manic laughter and the sounds of impact.

Not a single sound from Chen Che came out, which made her feel even more uneasy.

"Geng Biao isn't human, he's a monster! That big brother is human, how could a human possibly beat a monster!"

A thin, small teenager huddled at the very back and said timidly.

"Then we're dead for sure! Mommy! I want to go home!"

Influenced by the thin teenager's pessimistic mood, the others also began to show despair.

This time, Tang Ying couldn't comfort them, because she discovered that there was no sound in the mist.

Geng Biao's voice had disappeared, and Chen Che's voice was gone too.

"Chen Che!"

Tang Ying couldn't help but shout, but there was no response; her face turned deathly pale in an instant, and her eyes stared fixedly into the mist in terror.

"It's over, there's no sound! That big brother must have been eaten by Geng Biao!"

"Then it's over, we're going to be eaten too!"

"No, I don't want to! Someone save me! As long as I can live, I will definitely study hard and never mess around again!"

The teenagers had a mental breakdown and hugged each other, wailing loudly.

"Shut up!"

A low shout came from within the fog.

The teenagers fell silent at the same instant.

Tang Ying's brow smoothed out, the expression on her face changing from terror to pleasant surprise, and she shouted, "Chen Che, you're alright?!"

"So noisy it's deafening."

The voice, containing disdain, came again, and at the same time, Tang Ying and the others clearly felt a suction force suddenly appear.

The room full of poisonous fog began to swirl like a tornado, finally converging into the palm of Chen Che's left hand.

The fog dissipated, and Chen Che's figure appeared in their line of sight.

Whether it was Tang Ying and the others on the scene, or Mu Xiaoqing and the others tracking the situation via the display screen at the command post, all of them widened their eyes, stunned by the scene before them.

Chen Che held his left hand up casually, the fog condensing into a ball in his palm.

He extended his right hand, clamped it onto Geng Biao's neck, and lifted him off the ground.

The True Qi coat on Geng Biao's body had already dissipated, his reversed joints had returned to normal, and his limbs hung naturally, without a shred of ability to resist.

Geng Biao widened his eyes, looking at Chen Che with a face full of terror, his face, flushed red from suffocation, appearing even more ferocious.

"You... impossible... you couldn't possibly... be this strong..."

Geng Biao said intermittently.

Chen Che sneered with disdain and increased the force in his hand; in an instant, Geng Biao's eyes rolled back, his tongue lolled out, and he passed out.

Chen Che let go, and Geng Biao slumped onto the ground like a pile of mud.

In the command post, Mu Xiaoqing and the others looked at the scene on the screen, still unable to recover from their shock.

Compared to Tang Ying and the others whose vision was blocked by the thick fog, Mu Xiaoqing and the others had seen the entire process of the battle through the camera on Chen Che's clothing button.

Geng Biao launched an attack while expelling poison, and Chen Che had been dodging for the first three rounds.

This made Mu Xiaoqing and the others all gasp, thinking that Chen Che was done for.

Unexpectedly, Chen Che launched a counterattack in the fourth round, his speed so fast that no one in front of the display screen had even seen how he made his move.

By the time the dust settled, Geng Biao was already being held in Chen Che's hand like a dead dog.

Moreover, Chen Che had also used a method that Mu Xiaoqing and the others could not understand to absorb all the poisonous gas!

"This person... is just too strong!"

"Geng Biao's mutation is because he ate too many defective Pills; there have been such cases among criminals in the past, but even with a body mutation, he is still a Martial Artist, and his strength shouldn't be lower than the Master Realm, yet he was just solved by Chen Che like this?!"

"Too fast, too strong! I didn't even see him make a move!"

"For him to have a realm beyond a Master at his age... it's a pity he's an informant; if such a talent could be recruited into the Justice Department, that would be great!"

Everyone in the command post had an expression of admiration, marveling at Chen Che's strength.

Mu Xiaoqing, meanwhile, stared unblinkingly at the screen; the camera on Chen Che's button had shifted slightly due to the fight, and at this moment, it happened to capture half of Chen Che's face.

"So handsome, and so strong! I just wonder if he has a girlfriend?"

Mu Xiaoqing subconsciously smoothed her hair and muttered softly.

Inside the private room.

Tang Ying put away her True Qi Protective Shield, came to Chen Che's side, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Chen Che shook his head and said, "He turned into this neither-human-nor-ghost appearance, likely because he ate too many of those defective Pills, causing the True Qi generated to be impure, which led to the mutation of his body."

Tang Ying nodded in agreement: "Among the people we've caught before, there have been such cases; your analysis is spot on."

Just as Chen Che was about to say something more, Tang Ying's vision suddenly went black, and she plunged into Chen Che's arms...
