A loud crash echoed as a pane of glass on an antique shop's window suddenly shattered. The soldiers below, seeing the falling glass, instinctively dodged.

Hearing the commotion, everyone looked up to see a human-shaped shadow jumping out from the window and plummeting towards the ground.

"Look! Something must have happened; someone fell from the window!"

"Really Could it be that terrorists actually occupied the antique shop"

The onlookers, witnessing a person falling out of the window, let out startled cries. Even the police officers and well-dressed individuals nearby looked up at the figure with concern.

Witnessing this scene, these law enforcement personnel and well-groomed figures had grim expressions, as they all held significant positions within the Sea Realm's hierarchy. If a terrorist attack were to occur here, it would be difficult for them to explain away the incident without any casualties; should someone die, their predicament would only worsen.

Thus, with grave concerns etched on their faces, they all watched as the figure fell from the window, hoping that he wouldn't perish. Regardless of his injuries, as long as he didn’t die, it would be a relief for them.

Xiao Yu leaped out of the window and scanned around him, searching for the corpse insect’s whereabouts.

It turned out that when this corpse insect reached the windowsill, it did not stop but instead leapt up to collide with the glass.

Seeing the corpse insect collide with the glass, Xiao Yu felt a surge of joy; after all, these were thick panes of glass which would trap the insect without any escape route.

However, Xiao Yu underestimated this corpse insect’s strength. As he was about to catch up with it, the insect suddenly leaped at the thick glass. When it collided with the glass, it shattered instantly as if struck by a hammer.

This shattering wasn't just half of it breaking like someone had thrown a stone and damaged it; the entire glass pane shattered inward, along with the corpse insect which fell toward the ground amidst the broken pieces.

Xiao Yu saw this situation and didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately jumped out through the hole. At present, he had no choice but to do so—if he let this corpse insect run away, it would indeed be a major disaster; besides him, there was no one who could stop this corpse insect! Moreover, now that the corpse insect had gone mad and disregarded everything, those medicinal herbs scattered below were likely useless.

Furthermore, there were over a thousand people outside, and this place was in the bustling downtown area. If this corpse insect really escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yu jumped down without hesitation from here. However, when he fell, he maintained his state of oneness with heaven. In this state, Xiao Yu saw the corpse insect mixed in among the shattered glass falling downward.

Upon seeing this corpse insect, Xiao Yu’s heart stirred. The dagger in his hand flew out and suddenly rushed toward the falling corpse insect.

He had to take a desperate gamble—if he let this corpse insect run away, it would disappear at its speed very quickly; hence, Xiao Yu now hoped that this move would work.

The dagger thrown by Xiao Yu flashed with a cold light and carried an aura of violent ferocity as it stabbed toward the corpse insect. The corpse insect sensed this violent aura and howled in fury but, being suspended mid-air, had no way to leverage its power—it could only watch helplessly as the dagger approached.

This deadly dagger flashed with a cold light; those pieces of glass blocking it were like tofu—easily pierced by the blade. Instantly, it skewered right through the corpse insect in the midst of broken glass, continuing to thrust downward without stopping when it struck the creature.

Very quickly, the corpse insect was penetrated from midsection by this dagger. After being sliced into two halves by this deadly weapon, it fell toward the ground along with the shards of glass.

The dagger didn’t stop after slicing through the corpse insect but continued at an incredible speed, piercing straight down towards the concrete floor with a cold light.

The thick and hard concrete ground offered no resistance to this deadly weapon; it pierced into it as easily as if it were tofu. Only the hilt of the dagger remained exposed above the surface.

Xiao Yu’s figure, originally falling down from the third floor, suddenly changed—it became like a large bird, and his rapidly descending form abruptly slowed.

Although Xiao Yu was in mid-air, his movements were constantly adjusting under the state of oneness with heaven and humanity, making him slow down gradually.

After landing, Xiao Yu rolled to dissipate the impact force and stood up.

At this moment, a few heads appeared from the broken glass windows on the third floor. Their faces were quite grim; these people were soldiers from Sector 13 who had promised Zhang Dahai that they would have to step over their corpses if anyone wanted to harm Xiao Yu.

But now Xiao Yu jumped down from the third floor, his fate unknown, while all of them remained unharmed, not even a scratch on any of them. If something were to happen to Xiao Yu, how would they explain it to Zhang Dahai when he returned from Beijing They might as well be condemned to death a hundred times over! Besides, most of their lives had been saved by Xiao Yu.

They watched with worry as Xiao Yu landed safely on the ground and let out a sigh of relief before withdrawing their heads and running down below.

They didn't know what was happening now or if that insect had escaped.

The speed they just witnessed, it could be said to rival lightning. Even at their elite special forces soldier level, they would likely not catch up with this insect.

"Comrade-in-Chief, are you okay Do we need to take you to the hospital" When Zhou Cheng saw that the person who had fallen was Xiao Yu, his expression turned very grim as well. After seeing Xiao Yu stand steadily, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to ask.

"I'm fine." said Xiao Yu indifferently.

As for those soldiers They had witnessed everything, from the moment Xiao Yu fell in front of them three stories up. At ten meters above ground level, Xiao Yu could fall without any harm at all; this made their gaze towards him peculiar. After all, these police officers were ordinary people and knew nothing about internal energy, thinking it existed only in TV dramas.

Not to mention those regular soldiers, even Zhou Cheng and the soldiers from Sector 13 were utterly astonished now. They had seen Xiao Yu's skills when Zhang Dahai had fought him; they all watched the match and thus greatly admired Xiao Yu who was able to fight to a draw with Zhang Dahai.

But now, their perception of Xiao Yu had completely changed. At this height, even Zhang Dahan would be crippled or dead if he fell! However, Xiao Yu didn’t seem to have any problems at all. This left them deeply surprised and they needed to reassess his abilities.

A moment later, the soldiers from Sector 13 ran down from upstairs. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Yu standing on the ground, they relaxed. As long as Xiao Yu wasn’t injured, they could still give an account when Zhang Dahan returned; otherwise, they would feel guilty for life.

Xiao Yu nodded to Zhou Cheng and others before walking over to the dagger that was half-buried in the wall. He gently pulled it out.

"Chief, what happened to that insect" The soldiers from Sector 13 asked Xiao Yu after seeing him pull the dagger out. They had seen how formidable this poisonous insect was earlier. If such an insect escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable. With this in mind, they looked at the crowd of hundreds or even thousands gathered on the other side of the road.

"There!" When he heard the soldier’s question, Xiao Yu pointed to the half-split corpse of the insect ahead.

The soldiers from Sector 13 and Zhou Cheng hurried over upon hearing what Xiao Yu said. Squatting down, they looked at it. At this moment, the insect’s body had been split in two in the middle, with a greenish-black viscous liquid seeping out of its body, emitting an unpleasant stench.

"Chief, what kind of insect is this" After watching the half-split and still terrifying insect for a while, they curiously asked Xiao Yu.

Before these soldiers from Sector 13 joined the organization, in the depths of the jungle, what insects had they not seen After joining Sector 13, their eyes were opened to mysterious missions executed by the sector. However, none of them could have ever imagined such an insect, even something similar.

"This is a rare poisonous insect known as the Corpse Insect. It lives in ancient tombs and contains extremely potent venom. They usually appear in groups!"

When these soldiers from Sector 13 asked him this question, Xiao Yu told them. However, when he mentioned that corpse insects appeared in groups, his expression immediately changed. If not for the soldier’s inquiry, he would have already forgotten that such corpse insects would typically appear in groups of hundreds.

Only one had appeared now; where were the rest Were they still in the tomb But then Xiao Yu thought about those rats and secretly calmed down. Since these people could survive coming out, there should be no other corpse insects left, or else it would have been impossible for them to escape alive.

These corpse insects had lived underground for hundreds of years in darkness. If they were disturbed, their ferocity wouldn’t be any less than what just happened. But since nothing happened now, there might not even be other insects left at all.d over.
