This person's arrival was too suspicious.
Su Zhan was thinking frantically in his mind.
While his face was exposed, he would only use his Aberrant form ability if he was confident he could kill the other party.
Moreover, the other party's arrival was particularly strange.
If the other party were an Aberrant, that would make so sense.
Because he probably had many enemies among the Aberrants.
But the other party was an Awakened individual.
And he had absolutely no impression of this person at all.
If he had to think about who he might have offended...
Su Zhan could only recall one person.
Qin Bai.
Which ant the other party was likely sent by Qin Bai, with the purpose of testing him.
Then he absolutely couldn't use his Aberrant form ability.
Looking at it this way.
A direct confrontation would only lead to death!
Su Zhan parried another fierce claw attack from his opponent.
He spun around abruptly.
Channeling most of his Ti Abyss Pupil power to accelerate himself, he shot toward the abandoned factory area's exit like an arrow released from its bow!
His target was clear.
The Black City Enforcent Bureau!
Which was exactly where he had been drinking tea earlier.
As long as he reached a place with official presence, the other party would never dare to act so recklessly!
"Trying to run!?"
The masked man dropped to all fours.
Chasing after him with the ferocity of a true fierce tiger hunting, his speed actually surpassed Su Zhan's full-speed escape by a slight margin!
Su Zhan didn't look back, pushing his speed to the limit.
He madly weaved through ruins and dilapidated factory buildings, using the complex terrain to try to hinder his pursuer.
But the tiger-transford masked man was too powerful and too fast!
"Boom!"
A half-collapsed brick wall was directly smashed through by the masked man's full-body impact, rubble flying everywhere, yet his speed was almost unaffected!
Su Zhan had just leaped over a pile of scrap material when a vicious gust of wind assaulted him from behind!
He had to forcefully twist his body, crossing his twin blades behind him to block!
"Clang!"
Trendous force struck again.
Su Zhan used the montum to lunge forward, tasting blood in his throat again, but his speed actually increased sowhat, though the wounds on his back were shaken open and bleeding profusely.
"Swish!"
A claw wind swept past.
Su Zhan barely tilted his head aside, his shoulder getting slashed open with another bloody gash!
He didn't dare to stop at all, not even daring to turn around fully to block.
He could only continuously use broken walls, steel fras, and abandoned vehicles as cover, desperately sprinting forward.
The masked man clung to him like a persistent disease, pursuing relentlessly, his pouncing attacks putting Su Zhan in constant peril!
Sharp claws continuously left new wounds on Su Zhan's back and sides, blood sprinkling along his path.
Su Zhan's face turned pale.
He specifically chose narrow alleys with many obstacles to navigate through.
Forcing the other party unable to fully utilize his speed advantage.
But even so, the distance between them kept closing!
The block where the Enforcent Bureau was located was now visible ahead.
He could already see the outline of that building!
"Roar!"
The masked man seed to have detected his intention, letting out an anxious roar, his attacks becoming even more frenzied.
Su Zhan darted left and right through the narrow alleyways.
A few more claw marks added to his body, leaving him in a wretched state.
But the Enforcent Bureau's main entrance was now within reach!
"Damn it!"
The masked man growled unwillingly, making one final desperate lunge forward, his sharp claws almost grazing the back of Su Zhan's head, tearing out several strands of hair!
But ultimately...
He abruptly stopped, glared viciously at Su Zhan's retreating back, then without hesitation turned around and disappeared into the complex alley shadows after a few leaps.
Su Zhan staggered across the street, heavily collapsing at the foot of the Enforcent Bureau's front steps.
Covered in blood with crisscrossing wounds, he was almost completely drenched in blood.
The guards at the Enforcent Bureau entrance saw Su Zhan collapsing at their doorstep like a blood-soaked man.
They were imdiately greatly alard and rushed over.
"It's him! That Vermilion Bird Academy student from earlier!"
"Quick! Carry him inside! Call the dical officer! Notify Captain Zhao!"
...
Several enforcent team mbers efficiently and carefully lifted the nearly unconscious Su Zhan, quickly carrying him into the dical room inside the Enforcent Bureau.
The Enforcent Bureau's dical officer promptly perford ergency treatnt on Su Zhan.
Cutting open the already tattered fluorescent jacket and inner clothing, revealing the horrifying crisscrossing claw marks beneath that reached deep to the bone.
Especially several wounds on his chest and back were particularly shocking.
"Incredibly powerful strength!"
The dical officer couldn't help but gasp while skillfully cleaning and stopping the bleeding: "If these were any deeper or slightly off target... what luck..."
The disinfectant stung the wounds.
Su Zhan groaned in pain, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
The enforcent team captain stood nearby, his face frighteningly dark.
In his territory, a Vermilion Bird Academy student who had just accomplished great rits was chased down and escaped back to the Enforcent Bureau entrance covered in blood - this was a blatant slap in the face to the Black City Enforcent Team!
If you killed other people, that would be one thing.
Black City wouldn't pick a fight with you over it.
After all, Black City was accustod to such matters and generally turned a blind eye.
But targeting soone from Vermilion Bird Academy.
And soone who helped them kill three Transcendence Society Aberrants at that.
In Black City, Transcendence Society Aberrants were hostile to everyone.
The kind that the entire population would hunt down.
The city lord personally implented this policy.
Anyone who killed Transcendence Society Aberrants in Black City was considered ritorious.
"Can you tell what style it was?"
The enforcent team captain asked the dical officer in a heavy voice.
The dical officer carefully examined the tearing patterns at the wound edges, shaking his head then nodding:
"It seems to be caused by so kind of fierce beast's sharp claws, but contains extrely strong life soul power... a very pure power-type close combat life soul, leaning toward tiger, leopard, or bear types, hard to say specifically. The attacker was extrely vicious, completely aiming for fatal blows."
After simple hemostasis and bandaging.
Given Su Zhan's severe injuries.
The Enforcent Bureau didn't dare delay, imdiately sending him by vehicle to Black City Central Hospital.
And arranged dedicated personnel to guard his hospital room.
In the hospital.
Su Zhan received more comprehensive treatnt.
Professional healing-type Awakened nurses treated his wounds, applied special muscle-regeneration ointnt, and used gentle spiritual energy to promote wound healing.
Although not completely healed imdiately, his serious injuries finally stabilized, no longer bleeding, and the intense pain had eased considerably.
Su Zhan lay on the hospital bed, his face still pale, but his eyes had regained clarity.
He looked at the pure white ceiling, recalling the tiger-transford masked man's ferocious attacks and murderous words.
"The person who wants your life..."
Who was it?
The mastermind behind the black market goods?
Transcendence Society's retaliation?
Or... Qin Bai's people?
Su Zhan closed his eyes, feeling the slight coolness and itching from his wounds, while a cold killing intent slowly gathered in his heart.
Whoever it was, he would rember this grudge.
However, he wasn't as weak as he appeared on the surface.
Aberrants all possessed formidable vitality.
Although he hadn't used his Aberrant form's recovery ability, his physical constitution was still there.
He would be fine.
...
Vermilion Bird City.
Su Zhan stepped off the airplane.
After he was attacked and injured in Black City.
Black City had also investigated for him, but ultimately found nothing.
