Boom!
Just as Yoshida was lost in thought, letting his imagination run wild, Bai Yiling withdrew her hand amidst a deafening thunderclap.
Instantly!
The strong wind stopped.
The dust settled.
The trees that had been bent over finally straightened.
As for the members of the Bat Gang who had been attacking Bai Yiling, they had all disappeared.
"Why did those people disappear?" Bai Yiling took off her gloves, looked around, and appeared completely bewildered.
She wondered if the martial arts she practiced with her mysterious man in her dreams were really that powerful, capable of beating people out of existence?
"All police personnel, charge up and apprehend this demoness!" At this moment, as Bai Yiling walked towards Cheng Xiaofan, Yoshida Yaji shouted in exasperation.
Boom!
The police personnel patrolling nearby rushed into the square.
"Chirp—"
Upon receiving a spiritual hint from Cheng Xiaofan, the Sky-Breaking Eagle transformed into an afterimage and pounced.
The two police personnel at the forefront suddenly vanished.
The police personnel behind them shrieked in fear, retreated more than ten steps, and froze, none daring to advance.
"What's going on?" Yoshida Yaji was terrified.
It was only then that he seemed to realize that the disappearance of the Bat Gang members had nothing to do with Bai Yiling.
Everyone present was stunned by the bizarre scene unfolding before their eyes.
"My God!"
"Why did those two police officers suddenly disappear?"
"This is truly too strange!"
"Too bizarre!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "I finally understand how Watanabe Iwao and his men, along with those two officers, disappeared!"
"How did they disappear?" Yoshida Yaji asked, still shaken.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately bluffed, "Didn't you know that back in the Meiji era of Sakura Country, there were three great heroes in Yamaguchi Prefecture?"
"These three great heroes acted on behalf of heaven, punishing the wicked and helping the good. Later, they were framed and unjustly killed by villains, and they were buried beneath this square."
"Watanabe Iwao and his Bat Gang members had too much blood on their hands, which angered the vengeful spirits underground. They rose from the earth and devoured those people alive."
"By the way, have the police personnel you brought today done a lot of bad things in their daily lives?"
"Otherwise, why would the vengeful spirits of these three great heroes have devoured two of the police officers?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Yoshida Yaji exclaimed incredulously, "In broad daylight, how could vengeful spirits buried underground devour so many living people?"
"You're really good at fabricating stories!"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered, "Believe it or not!"
"I've discovered that the vengeful spirits of the three great heroes have set their sights on you. If I'm not mistaken, you're their next target!"
"..." Yoshida Yaji felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.
He looked around, feeling a chilling wind circling him.
Just then, Cheng Xiaofan said, "Stop looking, you can't see them."
Yoshida Yaji asked, "Why can you see those three vengeful spirits when I can't?"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered, "You dare to compare with me? I have a pair of 'heavenly eyes' that see the heavens above, the earth below, and people in between!"
"From the aura emanating from you, I can see that a year ago, you raped and murdered three women. One was an actress, and two were vegetable vendors!"
"A beast like you, I don't know how you managed to become the police chief."
"You, you, you..." Yoshida Yaji's face turned pale with fright.
Except for the victims, no one else knew about what he had done.
But how did this Cheng Xiaofan know so clearly?
Was it really as he said, that he saw it from the aura of others?
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan patted his shoulder and said, "Beast, I don't know what you and Watanabe Iwao were thinking by choosing this square for today's event."
"However, what goes around comes around. You'll soon be taken away by the vengeful spirits of those three heroes, just like those two police officers a moment ago!"
At this very moment.
Bai Yiling had already come to Cheng Xiaofan's side.
Cheng Xiaofan's words suddenly enlightened her. Those missing people must be related to him.
What Bai Yiling couldn't understand was what method her mysterious man used to make those people disappear one by one.
"Cheng Xiaofan... No, Mr. Cheng, please save me!"
With a thud, the dignified police chief of Yamaguchi Prefecture suddenly knelt before Cheng Xiaofan under everyone's gaze.
Yoshida Yaji was completely terrified!
"Your retribution has come, how can I save you?" Cheng Xiaofan said with a cold smile.
Yoshida Yaji hurriedly said, "Mr. Cheng, I know you can definitely save me. I don't want to die. Even if I have to spend my life in prison, I don't want to die!"
"I admit that I colluded with Watanabe Iwao this time. He promised me that if I could seize all the assets of the Blood Demon Sect and your produced Rejuvenation Pills, he would give me half of the profits."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan nodded and moved the microphone closer to Yoshida Yaji, saying, "Confess all the bad deeds you've done over the years, and perhaps I can still save you!"
"Alright, alright, I'll confess!"
Yoshida Yaji wiped the cold sweat from his face and immediately began to recount, like a child reciting a lesson, all the unspeakable things he had done since becoming police chief.
His confession caused the Sakura Country citizens in the audience to erupt in an uproar.
These were local residents, and they could never have imagined that the police chief had committed such heinous crimes.
"Smash him, hit the bastard to death with bricks!"
"I'll slap his face with the sole of my shoe!"
"I can't believe my granddaughter was murdered by him!"
"I'll bite him to death, bite his face full of holes!"
"Everyone, charge! We absolutely cannot let him escape!"
Just as the crowd below surged forward, Cheng Xiaofan, accompanied by his goddess Bai, Matsushita Kotoko, and her aunt, descended from the stage.
"Mr. Cheng, don't go, save me—" Behind them, Yoshida Yaji's heartbreaking cry for help quickly echoed.
As for the police personnel, they were unable to get close to Yoshida Yaji.
Cheng Xiaofan heard this and smiled faintly.
He had originally intended to use the Sky-Breaking Eagle to get rid of Yoshida Yaji.
But now, it seemed that it was no longer necessary!
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan looked up at the clear blue sky and sincerely praised, "The sky today is truly beautiful, without even a wisp of cloud!"
"Yes, under such a sky, even one's mood feels exceptionally cheerful!" Bai Yiling quickly agreed with her mysterious man, smiling enchantingly.
Matsushita Kotoko said, "Master, today's event is truly spectacular. It's more effective than any advertisement. I believe that your company in Sakura Country will soon be known to every household!"
