Tang Geng cried out in alarm.
Even though his strength surpassed Sasou's, at this distance, he couldn't possibly intervene before Sasou made his move and block Jin Chunfeng!
At this critical juncture, he drew his sword, forming a finger-sword, and traced an obscure rune in the air, chanting incantations.
As Sasou and Jin Chunfeng drew closer, Tang Geng grew more anxious.
Jin Chunfeng himself was so terrified he dared not even breathe.
Meanwhile, a sinister curve played on Sasou's lips, his heart filled with smug mockery.
"What nonsense about inviting the enemy into the urn! Wasn't I the one who played him like a fiddle with my feint?"
Just as he believed he had an absolute sure thing, he heard Tang Geng's loud shout from behind.
"Light Shadow Sword!"
Simultaneously, Sasou felt an extreme chill from above, piercing directly towards his crown.
Sasou was surprised. He glanced up slightly and saw the flying sword piloted by Tang Geng descending from above, aimed directly at him. If he were to stubbornly pursue Jin Chunfeng's life at this moment, the flying sword above his head would undoubtedly skewer him like a string of chicken skewers.
Helpless, he had no choice but to dodge.
However, how could Tang Geng give him any more breathing room?
He immediately piloted his flying sword to attack the unsteady Sasou, while his own body shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, directly towards Sasou's throat.
Sasou was greatly alarmed.
In a moment of desperation, he stomped on the car door he had just ripped off, grabbing it to use as a makeshift shield.
Unexpectedly, the car door failed to serve its purpose as a shield.
With a "ripping" sound, the flying sword, like it was piercing a piece of white paper, tore through the sheet metal of the car door. Its momentum undiminished, it continued its assault directly towards Sasou's brow.
Sasou was startled.
He instinctively jerked his head to the left, narrowly allowing the sword's blade to graze his cheek as it passed.
"That was close!" Sasou exclaimed in astonishment.
But before he could catch his breath, Tang Geng had already arrived.
Due to the obstruction of the car door shield, Tang Geng was forced to change his claw strike into a palm strike, slamming it fiercely onto the car door.
The immense residual force instantly sent Sasou flying back several meters. A sweet sensation flooded his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of green blood.
However, he had no time to concern himself with that.
Tang Geng had already drawn his slender sword and was hacking at him again.
He endured the pain, hastily got up, and his figure flashed, struggling to evade Tang Geng's every move.
But Tang Geng also knew.
With his strength, defeating Sasou was not a significant problem.
However, according to the plan, the objective today was to implant a miniature tracking device onto Sasou, in order to locate Dr. Sim and apprehend all the superhumans.
Therefore, even though he was suppressing Sasou at every turn, it was all part of the act, designed to prevent Sasou from becoming suspicious.
Seeing that the timing was almost ripe, Tang Geng, taking advantage of Sasou's inattention, held a fly-sized miniature tracker in his palm. During their fight, he found an opening, a flaw in Sasou's defense, and with a swift sword thrust at a tricky spot on Sasou's back, he created a small wound. Then, with a follow-up palm strike, he implanted the miniature tracker into his flesh.
Sasou cried out in pain and retreated rapidly.
Seizing the offensive advantage, Tang Geng naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity to sow doubt in Sasou's mind. He immediately pursued, raising his sword to slash at Sasou's waist and abdomen.
Sasou was surprised. As he bent down to dodge, he suddenly noticed that while Tang Geng's attacks were fierce, they were not without flaws.
At this very moment, the sweeping sword that followed closely behind, while making it difficult for Sasou to react, also left his center wide open, unknowingly.
Seizing this opening, Sasou was overjoyed. While dodging, he launched a kick directly at Tang Geng's chest.
Tang Geng's expression changed drastically. Caught off guard, he tried to retract his move to defend, but was still kicked flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Ouch, that hurts!" Tang Geng clutched his chest, writhing in pain on the ground.
But Sasou dared not linger. Seizing the opportunity, he hastily turned and, with a few large leaps, disappeared from Tang Geng's sight in no time.
To be safe, Tang Geng deliberately rolled around on the ground a few more times. Once he was sure Sasou had truly escaped, he slowly got up, brushed off the dust as if nothing had happened, spat, and then opened his walkie-talkie, reporting to Tang Qin, "Tang Qin, Tang Qin, the tracker has been implanted, the target has escaped. Come pick me up quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Qin's voice came from the other end: "Received, received! Tracking! Han Kang, Ma Long, you guys follow first. Han Lang and I will pick up Tang Geng and be right there!"
Ma Long replied, "No problem!"
Afterward, Tang Qin saw Ma Long's car turn around in the rearview mirror.
Meanwhile, Tang Geng, during the brief interval before Han Lang arrived to pick him up, quickly arranged for the other escorts to take Jin Chunfeng back to the Special Investigation Bureau.
Soon, Han Lang's car appeared in sight.
After Tang Geng got into the car, Han Lang didn't delay at all. He immediately turned the vehicle around and sped off in the direction of the tracker.
In the car, Tang Geng completely switched to complaint mode.
"Damn it! It was really not easy to put on this act with this damn superhuman. I almost died of exhaustion!"
Han Lang and Tang Qin couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this, and Tang Qin retorted, "What's wrong? Did fighting this battle exhaust you?"
"Of course! You guys don't know. This superhuman's strength is far too different from mine. If I hit too hard, I was afraid of killing him; if I hit too lightly, I was afraid he wouldn't be anxious to return to his nest. I had to hold back my strength the entire time. Can you say I wasn't wronged?"
Han Lang and Tang Qin were speechless after hearing this. Tang Qin even rolled her eyes at him and teased, "That's right! Without activating your martial skills, your strength is only comparable to a D-class superhuman. Even if you had the will, you wouldn't have the ability to defeat him easily, would you? Are you looking for the wrong people to brag to?"
Seeing that he had been exposed, Tang Geng gave an awkward laugh, "Heh heh... But even so, this first merit should be mine, right? Shouldn't I be allowed to boast a little?"
"Hey," Tang Qin immediately interrupted, "Only when we successfully locate the superhuman base and capture the doctor alive will you get the first merit. Otherwise, you'll just be considered as intentionally letting the superhuman escape, leaving behind a security hazard. You could be punished!"
"Ah?" Tang Geng was astonished.
Just as he was about to say something else, Ma Long's voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie.
"Tang Qin, Tang Qin! Something's not right! The target the tracker is following hasn't stopped at all and is even passing straight through the center of Le City. I feel like this superhuman kid isn't planning to cross the entire city and head north, is he?"
Tang Qin was still caught up in her bickering with Tang Geng. Hearing this, she didn't think much of it and instead chided him with a helpless look.
"What does it matter where he's going? As long as the signal isn't lost, we just need to follow properly. Why are you babbling so much? If..."
Before she could finish, Han Lang's confused voice sounded in her ear.
"North? Isn't that the direction of Lingyue Villa? Why would he go there?"
Reminded by this, Tang Qin also found it somewhat bizarre.
At this moment, Han Kang's question came through the walkie-talkie again: "Could it be that he's seen through our plan and wants to use our families at Lingyue Villa as leverage to pressure us?"
Han Lang quickly denied it, "You don't need to worry about that. The Qiankun Killing Array is effective not only against cultivators but also against superhumans. If he dares to enter, it will absolutely be a trap for himself!"
"But..."
Han Kang wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Tang Qin.
"Alright, alright! Let's stop guessing here. Let's just follow him for now! A horse or a donkey will eventually show its true colors! I want to see where this mysterious superhuman base is hidden!"
