Chapter 436: Revealing Identity

“An eye for an eye, a life for a life—this is only natural justice.

If someone stabs another, they must be punished. If the law won’t act, Shui Miao will.

Suddenly, blaring horns drew many people’s attention.

Seeing this, many locals who had previously been indifferent began shouting and rushing toward the Hummer.

The few men who had been harassing Su Xue dropped her immediately and chased after the Hummer.

“These people are truly despicable! Have their minds gone completely wrong, or is it just narrow-minded ethnic prejudice? Are outsiders destined to die while locals who break the law should be protected?” Shui Miao was already furious, and witnessing the locals’ behavior only fueled his anger further. He saw the man fleeing into a low wooden hut, where he pulled out an AK47 from under the bed. Detecting no other presences inside the hut, in a rage, Shui Miao drove straight at it, crashing through the wall and sending both the hut and the man flying.

The impact left the man dazed and unable to move, while the AK47 was crushed beneath the vehicle, rendered useless.

Shui Miao reversed the car while scanning with his spiritual sense, directly charging at the man’s accomplices!

Caught off guard by Shui Miao’s ferocity, four or five local men couldn’t dodge in time and were knocked down.

The remaining two hastily drew curved knives and shouted wildly.

Shui Miao stopped the car, then unarmed, swiftly knocked them down with a few punches and kicks, leaving them sprawled on the ground.

Seeing Shui Miao’s ferocity, the locals looked on in fear, too scared to approach.

One of the injured men pulled out a gun, but Shui Miao controlled him with his mind, forcing the man to shoot himself in the thigh several times until the gun was empty.

The locals didn’t possess real firearms—those who did had only homemade hunting guns.

However, they all carried knives and were originally quite fierce. But faced with someone even more ferocious, they were now terrified.

Just as Shui Miao thought it was over, suddenly more than ten men burst out from a nearby hotel. These people were like wolves and tigers, swinging machetes wildly, eager to kill Shui Miao. Spotting them from afar, Shui Miao immediately acted, channeling spiritual energy to form tiny blood-ice spikes from the blood of the previously shot man, launching them directly at the attackers.

The blood-ice spikes were small, and Shui Miao’s speed was too fast. The crowd only saw these fierce attackers suddenly cry out in pain and fall, rolling on the ground in agony, as if hit by machine-gun fire or struck by black magic.

The locals, who had just been eager to join the fight, were suddenly confused upon witnessing this.

They gathered around, wanting to see what had happened to these men.

Taking this chance, Shui Miao closed his eyes and scanned their minds, quickly discovering their true identities.

They were extremists inciting hatred against Han people among the locals. Today’s incident was deliberately provoked to influence local sentiments, waiting for the right moment to rebel and cause chaos.

“Fascinating! I’ve actually encountered such an extremist group! These people are despicable. If I don’t teach them a lesson today, greater tragedies will surely follow.”

With this thought, Shui Miao focused and created illusions in two of their minds.

Under the illusion’s influence, the two men changed completely, suddenly rising to attack the surrounding locals with knives, screaming wildly, scaring the locals into fleeing, no longer considering joining their rebellion.

People are like this—they never realize they’ve been deceived until they see the truth.

Only when they witness the ugly face of the so-called ‘holy warriors’ they once admired would they understand that things are not as they imagined.

Nowadays, with national peace and stability, who would incite ‘holy wars’ except for brainwashed extremists?

Suddenly, the wailing of police sirens filled the air. Upon receiving the report, local police and armed officers quickly arrived.

Many were taken to the station for investigation.

Shui Miao, of course, was no exception.

Inside the interrogation room, Shui Miao sat alone.

After waiting more than half an hour, a middle-aged police officer finally entered.

The officer had a dignified appearance and sharp eyes, clearly a very capable man. He approached Shui Miao, handing him a stack of photos with a faint smile: “Young man, you’re quite impressive! Would you mind telling me how those wounds on them were made?”

“Uncle, could you make a phone call?” Shui Miao replied with a faint smile.

The officer casually replied, “Calling a lawyer?”

Shui Miao shook his head and smiled, “Uncle, if I told you, you might not believe me. Make a call to the highest-ranking official you know and ask them to check whether our country has a special agency called Xuanzu. Tell them I’m Shui Miao, and I’m sure you’ll soon learn my true identity.”

Although Shui Miao had left Xuanzu, his title remained. Given the seriousness of this incident, only invoking his Xuanzu status could clarify everything.

Seeing Shui Miao wasn’t joking, and considering the strange wounds on the suspects, the officer’s expression turned grave. However, he didn’t immediately make the call, still doubting whether this young man could truly be connected to a national secret agency.

Just as the officer was about to speak, Shui Miao sighed deeply and said, “Looks like you still don’t believe me. Well then, let me show you the power of the Xuanzu leader.” As he spoke, Shui Miao used his spiritual energy to condense a ball of water in front of the officer. As the officer watched in disbelief, the water suddenly scattered, forming over five or six hundred small diamond-shaped ice cubes across the table.

These were the same ice shards Shui Miao had used to injure the terrorists.

Staring at the ice cubes, the officer was stunned.

Shui Miao raised his hand, and the handcuffs melted into a dagger, clattering onto the table.

“Aren’t you going to make that call yet?” Shui Miao frowned impatiently at the officer.

Finally regaining his senses, the officer hurriedly called an old classmate of his—a high-ranking official at the State Security Department. Upon receiving the call, the official became extremely tense, immediately contacting higher-ups. After a few calls, the officer finally got the answer. He gulped audibly, clearly too shocked to speak.

“Enough said. Now come with me—we’re going to arrest more people. Your department has been collecting salaries without doing its job, turning a blind eye and letting many extremists operate freely.”

Having already learned the result of the call, Shui Miao didn’t want to waste any more words. He turned and walked out.

Hearing this, the upright officer hurried after him, his face filled with respect and an apologetic smile, now fully ready to obey.
