Chapter 471: Chapter 186: The First Holy Manifestation of the Transcendent!!_5

They seized the opportunity, jumped into the car, and slammed down on the accelerator.

With a BUZZ, they sped away.

Zhang Beixing, having dodged a barrage of bullets, saw that these people had stopped shooting and were fleeing. He was suddenly displeased!

Before I broke through to become a Transcendent, you shot at me with guns, then ran away. Back then, I, Zhang Beixing, wasn’t strong enough, so I had no choice but to swallow my anger! But now, I’ve become a Transcendent, and you think you can just shoot and run? Especially here in the forest, where the terrain and environment are to my advantage. If I let you escape, wouldn’t my breakthrough have been in vain?

Damn it! You mess with your Brother Zhang and still hope to get away with it? Such a thing doesn’t exist! You’re all staying here for me today!

Zhang Beixing was a vengeful person; the thing he hated most was suffering a loss. If a stray dog barked at him twice, he’d find a chance to sneak in a kick. His motto was to repay every grievance and never let himself be wronged. He would only endure if he was truly outmatched. This was even truer now that these people were pointing guns at him, intending to kill him. For Zhang Beixing, this was utterly intolerable!

If the setting were different, Zhang Beixing might have slipped away. But in these mountains, the abundance of trees serving as cover severely hampered the effectiveness of firearms. Naturally, he wouldn’t let this go. Might as well deal with them here!

Watching the pickup truck carrying the drug traffickers drive away, a murderous intent flashed in Zhang Beixing’s eyes.

He was about to circulate his Postnatal Five Qi and give chase.

But just then, TAP TAP TAP—

A series of hurried footsteps approached from the distance.

Accompanying the footsteps were Huo Honghao’s furious roars. "Quick, quick, quick! Zhang Beixing’s signal is right ahead! Everyone, look sharp! Sniper, get over there and set up an ambush!" he commanded his men in a low voice. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Everyone, find good cover immediately and prepare for battle!"

Then, he bellowed at the drug traffickers, "Listen up, you people ahead! You are surrounded! Stop your futile resistance, drop your weapons, and surrender immediately! You have no chance of winning! If your attitude is good, there’s still room for negotiation. Don’t make a fatal mistake! Don’t compound your errors!"

They had followed the tire tracks on the ground all the way here. Judging by the vehicle’s path, the enemy might have already engaged Zhang Beixing! This made Huo Honghao anxious. If Zhang Beixing confronted this group of criminals, his chances were likely grim. By the time Huo Honghao rushed to the scene, he found it in complete disarray.

Three people lay twisted on the ground. One was headless, another had his chest violently pierced through. The third, though not dead, had a branch impaling his shoulder and multiple contusions on his body; he lay unconscious, clutching his groin. The only good news was that Zhang Beixing was not among them.

He killed three of them? How did he manage to counterattack? Huo Honghao felt a wave of relief. Without pausing to wonder how Zhang Beixing had managed this, he hurried to a nearby spot.

There, he saw Zhang Beixing standing by the lake, hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance. An intimidating aura emanated from him, and his posture was quite imposing.

Huo Honghao stared for two seconds, then rushed forward, taking three steps at a time. He examined Zhang Beixing from head to toe and asked, "Brother Zhang, are you alright?"

As an Extraordinary Person with keen senses, Zhang Beixing had detected their arrival long ago. He shook his head. "I’m fine, Brother Huo. They’re just a bunch of drug traffickers, not an organized armed group. They can’t do anything to me. Rest assured!"

"Good, as long as you’re alright!" Huo Honghao breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, it was good that nothing had happened. He had been terrified that they had arrived too late and Zhang Beixing had met with some misfortune. If that had been the case, he truly wouldn’t have known what to do. Fortunately, things hadn’t escalated to such a dire state.

He circled Zhang Beixing a couple of times. After confirming that Zhang Beixing wasn’t lying—that he was genuinely unharmed and bore no injuries—Huo Honghao finally shifted his attention. He looked at the three men on the ground, his brow furrowing.

If he remembered correctly, Zhang Beixing had said on the phone that the group of drug traffickers he encountered numbered six or seven. Now, only three were here; the others had clearly escaped. Huo Honghao didn’t find this surprising. After all, these were armed thugs. It was already an incredible feat for Zhang Beixing to have faced them and survived, let alone kill two and seriously injure another!

But in the current situation, despite being full of questions about how Zhang Beixing had managed it, Huo Honghao knew it wasn’t the time to press. He said, "Young Brother Zhang, you’ve been through a lot today. Take a rest. We’ll handle things from here. Our main reinforcements will drive over shortly. We’ll then pursue them and seal the border. Rest assured, we will give you a satisfactory account of this matter today!" Patting his chest, Huo Honghao assured him they would absolutely not let this drug trafficking gang escape and would bring them to justice.

Zhang Beixing’s brow furrowed slightly. "The main reinforcements are coming? How long will that take?"

"About ten minutes or so. Why?"

"That’s too long!" Zhang Beixing declared.

This was a mountainous forest with a complex network of roads. If they let these people flee for another ten minutes, who knew where they’d end up.

Zhang Beixing had great faith in the military strength of Great Xia. However, the border was vast and entirely mountainous, making it difficult to locate people and increasing the likelihood of unforeseen complications. Therefore, rather than relying on the main force’s pursuit, he trusted his own abilities more. Besides, they had shot at him today; he couldn’t just let it go. If they truly escaped, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains—he’d constantly be on edge.

So, Zhang Beixing looked at Huo Honghao and said, "Brother Huo, you stay here and coordinate. I’ll go on ahead. If I can catch up, great. If not, I’ll rendezvous with the main force further on!"

"Huh?" Huo Honghao was baffled by Zhang Beixing’s words. He didn’t quite understand what Zhang Beixing meant by "going on ahead." "You mean..."

After saying this, Zhang Beixing glanced into the distance. He saw that while they had been talking, the drug traffickers’ truck had already covered a considerable distance. It was about to reach the other side of the lake!

If he followed their route, it would be very difficult to catch them. They were driving very fast, and the distance was already significant. Even though Zhang Beixing had mastered the Lightness Technique, allowing him to cover five or six meters in a single step and even flit across the treetops, catching up would still be quite strenuous.

But what if I don’t take the mountain roads? Zhang Beixing’s gaze shifted to the lake. This is a shortcut! I can cut directly across the lake to intercept them!

An excellent plan! Zhang Beixing deemed it feasible. He immediately mobilized the Water Qi of the Northern Ink Emperor from his kidneys, channeling it into his legs. Starting from the Yinlingquan acupoint, the Qi stimulated a path downwards.

He felt his acupoints tingle under the stimulation of the Water Qi of the Northern Ink Emperor. Simultaneously, a force field materialized, enveloping his legs. He looked at the shimmering surface of the lake.

Without hesitation, Zhang Beixing stepped forward.

PLUNK—

A crisp sound echoed as he stepped into the water, sending droplets splashing. His figure dipped slightly as the water rose past his calves, but it could not hinder him further. The water barely reached his knees!

"Brother Huo, I’m going on ahead! You guys follow as quickly as you can!" Zhang Beixing called out, his eyes fixed on the pickup truck bumping along the mountain road on the far side of the lake. As he finished speaking, he pushed off with his feet and shot out towards the center of the lake like a swift sword!

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

Instantly, waves erupted on the lake surface, accompanied by the sound of water parting, which then spread out in ripples.

Watching Zhang Beixing’s figure rapidly receding over the water, the soldiers by the lake were utterly dumbfounded.

Huo Honghao stood transfixed, his gaze shifting from the rapidly departing Zhang Beixing to the surface of the lake before him. He rubbed his eyes several times, confirming he wasn’t mistaken, before an involuntary exclamation escaped him:

Holy shit! He’s walking on water?!
