The sound of the collision of weapons came from the blood mist in front, and the one-eyed Taoist also quickened his pace.

However, he still remained vigilant, and stopped when he was about ten feet away, and then said in a deep voice.

"Second Level 5 Supervisor Wu Mu is here. Are there any colleagues in the department ahead?!"

As a result, as soon as he said these words, the sounds of fighting in front of him suddenly stopped, and the street fell into silence again.

The one-eyed Taoist realized something was wrong and warned, "Be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, a long sword pierced out from the blood mist, stabbing the one-eyed Taoist's right hand.

However, the one-eyed Taoist had already been prepared. Taking advantage of the golden sword on his body, he directly raised his hand, grasped the edge of the long sword, and then slapped it with one palm.

The man was hit hard by this palm, and there was a crisp sound from his shoulder blade!

The one-eyed Taoist was a little surprised when he succeeded with one blow. He was about to capture the man and find out what was happening in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the man twisted his body and quickly retreated into the blood mist.

His movements were even faster than when he arrived, and there was no sign that he had just been seriously injured.

The one-eyed Taoist frowned, but made no move to pursue him.

And his judgment was obviously very sophisticated, because at the next moment, the fat female supervisor and the supervisor named Ren were also attacked one after another.

The sneak attacker also suddenly jumped out of the blood mist, waving the weapon in his hand to greet the two.

And there were actually quite a lot of people. There were three people who faced off against Inspector Ren alone, and the fat female Inspector had to face two enemies at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.

Fortunately, these people only attacked fiercely, but they were unable to break the Golden Body Technique between the two.

Then it was time for Si Tianjian to counterattack.

The fat female inspector learned the lesson from the one-eyed Taoist, took out two flame charms from her arms, and threw them at the attacker's face.

The talisman exploded with a bang the moment it came into contact with the target's cheek, and then two fireballs the size of watermelons rose up!

Normally, if someone is blown up like this by a flame talisman, they will be knocked out even if they don't die.

However, after the two people received this blow, they only swayed and did not fall down. Like the previous person, they also turned around and ran away with very agile legs and feet.

And they were not the most outrageous. The supervisor named Ren on the other side was fighting one against three, but he did not lose. He killed a sneak attacker with a knife, causing the headless body to fall to the ground.

As a result, when the inspector surnamed Ren turned around to deal with the other two people, the headless corpse stood up from the ground again, opened its feet, and disappeared in a flash.

"What's going on with these strange objects? Are they all immortal?"

The fat female supervisor looked solemn, "It's just that the quantity is too much."

"Their skills are not very good," the inspector surnamed Ren added after beating away the remaining two attackers. "Although the shots are quite fast, it feels like they are just swinging randomly, and there are no moves at all, and I also I didn’t feel any inner strength in them, it was like, like..."

"Ordinary people." The one-eyed Taoist finished his sentence for him.

"That's right." The inspector named Ren nodded.

"But what kind of ordinary person can take one hit from my fire charm, let alone the guy who lost his head and still ran away."

"They didn't run away on their own." Lu Jing suddenly said at this time.

He was lucky just now and was not attacked. He stood aside and witnessed the entire battle. Thanks to his excellent eyesight, Lu Jing also discovered some things that others had not noticed.

"They were manipulated."

"Are they being manipulated, like wooden puppets?" The fat female supervisor thought of something, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "I'll tell you what's weird about them, their stiff manners, their faces. They don’t have any expressions either… So they are really just ordinary people.”

"This is a trap." Inspector Ren said, "The sound of fighting before was obviously caused by these puppets themselves. The purpose was to attract us."

"It just so happens that we came in this time to deal with those strange objects." The one-eyed Taoist paused and continued.

"Those puppets failed to succeed in one attack, and they will definitely attack us again. And since they are puppets, there must be threads behind them that control them. As long as we follow the threads, we can find the mastermind behind them."

What the one-eyed Taoist expected was correct, but after a moment, another person emerged from the blood mist, and the number was obviously more.

Even Lu Jing had three opponents, one of whom turned out to be an old woman who was almost seventy years old. She didn't have any decent weapons and only had a pair of tailoring scissors in her hand.

Now that they know that these people are just ordinary people in the capital, the four people from Si Tianjian will certainly not attack them harshly again.

Lu Jing was okay, even if he stood still, no one could break his defense, but the others had to put in a little effort to drive away the sneak attackers.

In the end, only a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old was left.

The one-eyed Taoist had quick eyesight and quick hands. He put a fixing charm on the little girl's forehead to freeze her in place.

Then the four of them got closer and looked carefully, and then they found the threads holding her between her fingers and the joints on her body.

These threads are all transparent without exception, and it is evening now. In addition, the four people are in the blood mist, and their field of vision is severely restricted. Unless they put their faces on them, it is basically impossible to see.

The fat female supervisor kneaded the knot, and a moment later a cluster of blue flames ignited on a transparent silk thread.

Then the flame extended all the way into the depths of the blood mist.

"Chase!" The one-eyed Taoist gave the order, and the four of them chased the blue flame together.

After running about a hundred steps, the one-eyed Taoist saw a leg first.

It was a hairy leg, made up of seven sections, with claws at the end and hard hairs under the claws. It didn't look like a human leg at first glance.

"Huh?" The one-eyed Taoist took a few steps forward and saw a second leg, then a third leg, a fourth leg... a total of eight legs, and an oval abdomen.

"This is... a spider?!"

The fat female inspector exclaimed, and after she finished speaking, she turned to look at Inspector Ren aside, and found that the latter had been standing still for a long time, with a livid expression and chest heaving.

Obviously the thing in front of him brought back some very bad memories.

Then the face of the fat female inspector changed, "Wait a minute, the spider you are most afraid of has appeared, then what I am afraid of will also happen?"

"Stay back a little, Inspector Zhong." The one-eyed Taoist said, "Let me deal with this monster first."

After saying that, the one-eyed Taoist took out a seven-star formation plate from his arms.
