Seeing this, the gray-clothed man continued to roar indignantly, "Yesterday's situation is exactly the same as today's. The government always comes to clean up the mess afterward. We, the unarmed and powerless common people, are left in the dark, like blind men, knowing nothing! But what can we do? What can we do? Nothing can be changed! Everyone, disperse! Stop wasting time here."

The gray-clothed man spoke in an excited and loud voice, so the officers could hear him clearly.

Upon hearing this, one of the officers' eyes widened in anger, as if spitting fire. He pointed at the man in gray and shouted, "Were you involved in the murder at Badao Street yesterday? If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will arrest you immediately!"

When everyone heard the officer's words, they were all shocked.

Doesn't the officer's reaction indirectly confirm that everything the man in gray said is true?

Those who were originally skeptical about what the man in gray said now began to believe it.

A few timid people left in a hurry without saying a word.

"It seems that this is true. Let's go quickly and don't get into trouble." Someone lowered his voice and said nervously.

Seeing this, several officers immediately took action.

They quickly took the rack from the cart and lowered it, then brought some black cloth, preparing to cordon off the crime scene. As they worked, they shouted, "This is government business, no onlookers allowed. Everyone, disperse immediately."

Tao Jiuxi was extremely anxious. Seeing that Jiang Shun had not taken any action, she could no longer hold back and shouted at the top of her voice: "Jiang Shun, do it!"

If the crowd dispersed and the officers handled the scene, then this would become a "strange thing" again.

Her voice was so loud that it instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

When Jiang Shun heard Tao Jiuxi's call, he immediately walked forward without any hesitation.

However, he had just taken a few steps when the officer shouted at him, "Who are you? Can't you see the authorities are investigating a case here? You're so bold! How dare you come this close? Get out of here!"

"Don't you know me?" Jiang Shun frowned and asked back.

"This is not the place for you to act wild and make trouble, get out of here!" The officers looked at each other and said fiercely.

Jiang Shun, however, remained calm and didn't care about the threats from the officers at all.

He quickly pulled out a signal firework from his waist and launched it into the sky. In an instant, the firework burst into a brilliant and colorful light in the sky.

Jiang Shun looked dignified and shouted loudly, "How dare you, you idiot, pretend to be an official!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly kicked out and kicked hard at the shelf that the officers had just placed, and the shelf was kicked to the ground in an instant.

Upon seeing this, the officers drew their swords and looked fierce.

"Where did this ignorant fellow come from? How dare he frame us?"

After saying that, he rushed towards Jiang Shun with great momentum.

Jiang Shun was not afraid at all. He immediately drew his sword and started fighting fiercely with the officers. These four officers were obviously professionally trained. They slashed at Jiang Shun with ruthless swords. Their fighting ability should not be underestimated.

For a moment, the scene fell into chaos.

Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, Jiang Shun saw an opportunity and kicked over the weapons stall with a fierce kick.

As soon as the weapons stall was kicked over, everyone saw a short man hiding underneath, holding two huge black stones in his hands.

The people around were already frightened, and many of them were about to leave, but when they saw this scene, they stopped and prepared to see what shocking things would happen next.

While Jiang Shun was fighting fiercely with the officers, he was always paying attention to Tao Jiuxi's safety.

After figuring out the moves of several people, Jiang Shun was agile and had sharp swordsmanship, and he quickly gained the upper hand.

The officers were beaten back step by step and gradually lost the ability to fight back.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

The "corpse of the weapons stall owner" that was originally lying on the ground actually "came back to life".

The boss stood up on the spot and tried to run away in panic.

However, his skills were really average. After he had run a few steps, Jiang Shun kicked him and he fell to the ground, unable to move.

After dealing with those who pretended to be officials, Jiang Shun suddenly saw that the man in gray in the crowd was sneaking towards Tao Jiuxi. The fierce murderous intent in his eyes was frightening.

Compared with Jiang Shun, the man in gray was obviously much closer to Tao Jiuxi.

"Girl! Be careful!"

Jiang Shun was horrified and shouted, and at the same time, he ran towards where Tao Jiuxi was.

His heart suddenly tightened, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it would jump out of his throat in the next second. He had never been so nervous as he was at this moment. His eyes were fixed on the man in gray, watching him get closer and closer to Tao Jiuxi.

Tao Jiuxi was actually prepared, but she couldn't tell Jiang Shun at this time, otherwise the approaching man in gray would be on guard against her.

Tao Jiuxi knew that she couldn't run now. Once she ran, she would be no match for the gray-clothed man who knew martial arts. So she pretended to be scared and stood there motionless.

The moment the gray-clothed man raised the knife, she quickly took action and threw the drugs hidden in her hand into the air in front of her.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shun ran as fast as he could with all his strength. At the critical moment when the man in gray was about to reach Tao Jiuxi, he rushed straight towards the man in gray like an angry bull.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the man in gray was knocked away by Jiang Shun's huge impact force. The whole person was like a tattered cloth bag. After drawing an arc in the air, he fell heavily to the ground.

However, at this critical moment, the sleeping pills that Tao Jiuxi had sprinkled earlier had already spread in the air.

The drug was like an invisible fog, silently enveloping the surroundings.

Jiang Shun ran too fast and rushed right into the ball of drugs.

Almost instantly, he felt dizzy and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away. His body went limp and he collapsed uncontrollably to the ground.

"Ah! This..." Jiang Shun only had time to let out a scream before he completely lost consciousness and fell straight to the ground.

"You, you, you, why did you rush in? Didn't I say I could handle it..." Tao Jiuxi was anxious and panicked when he saw that it was Jiang Shun who fell down, and he vigilantly observed the man in gray who was knocked out by Jiang Shun.

The man in gray shook his head, struggled to get up from the ground, picked up the dagger again, and rushed towards Tao Jiuxi like crazy. His eyes were full of ferocity, as if he wanted to eat Tao Jiuxi alive.

Seeing this, Tao Jiuxi's face turned pale with fear. She panicked and frantically reached for the antidote from her sleeve, mumbling involuntarily, "Brother... please... please... I..."

The gray-clothed man looked at Tao Jiuxi, who was fumbling in his sleeves, with a mocking smile on his face. "What else? You little bitch! You still want to use medicine against me?!"

"Yes..." Tao Jiuxi's voice trembled slightly with fear.

The gray-clothed man took one look at the collapsed Jiang Shun and knew the potency of the drug. He absolutely couldn't let this girl take the medicine out of her sleeve. He said viciously, "Then you can wait until you get to the Hades Palace to take it out! Today is the day you die, prepare to die!"

After saying that, he suddenly increased his speed and quickly swung the knife towards Tao Jiuxi.

When he was only a few steps away from Tao Jiuxi, Tao Jiuxi suddenly raised his other hand and sprinkled the powder hidden in his hand towards the man's face, then took a step back nimbly.

As expected, the man in gray fell straight to the ground after inhaling the powder.

"I've told you yes, but you still don't believe it. What I mean is, don't... don't underestimate me, I always have two plans prepared." Tao Jiuxi breathed a sigh of relief and said with lingering fear.
