My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

"However..."

"How on earth did the Rakshasa manage to identify two suspects in such a short period of time? Could there possibly be a third, a fourth?"

So many problematic individuals appearing, the Patrol Brigade Commander certainly bears a significant responsibility.

The Patrol Brigade Commander's concerns went undiscovered.

Outside Baihe Town, the Rakshasa took a glance.

In his eyes, the black smoke symbolizing evil deeds still lingered, with wisp upon wisp rising from certain individuals, swirling and unfading.

But the volume of the black smoke was far less than that of the first two individuals.

If he were to use this standard to identify suspects, the number of suspects would be quite substantial.

After pondering for a moment, the Rakshasa still decided to leave Baihe Town to search for clues in other areas.

...

At the same time.

God Martial Forbidden Army's Rick was restless; he had not the slightest clue and didn't even know where to start.

…

Dragon Blood Royal Cavalry's Iron Hand paced back and forth: "No clues, not a single clue. Even though my reasoning is correct... Thousand-faces' ability to hide and disguise is too formidable. Can I really complete this mission by myself?"

He, too, was lost in thought.

…

Saint of Holy Light's Xi furrowed his brows, "My Purification Power, if it locks onto a single individual, might reveal something. But... While there seem to be many traces in the region, they don't piece together into a clue."

"Thousand-faces, the faceless..."

She also became somewhat anxious.

At about the same time, in a small alley of Lushui Town,

Lord Giant Elephant knelt on the ground, his entire face contorted, with cold sweat streaming from his forehead. Faintly discernible were wisps of black-red mist emanating from his eyes.

Seconds later, Lord Giant Elephant stood up, wiped off the sweat, and seemed to have returned to normal as he walked outside.

He continued searching for traces of Thousand-faces.

He had found an important clue.

Minutes ago.

...

Half an hour later.

Upon arriving at Lushui Town, the Rakshasa opened his eyes, and the concept of evil gradually became clear in his gaze.

His eyes suddenly shifted towards a particular place.

Columns of black smoke billowed outwards.

"This is..."

The Rakshasa concealed his trail and made his way to the source of the black smoke. When he saw the origin, even his eyes couldn't help but ripple slightly.

He knew this person.

It was one of the rookies from the training camp, Lord Giant Elephant!

The dense black smoke enveloping Lord Giant Elephant was like a massive shadow clinging to him.

The Rakshasa frowned.

"In this situation, how should I proceed?"

Just like him, Lord Giant Elephant was a rookie from the training camp. The standard inspection mechanisms that worked on ordinary suspects might not be suited for Lord Giant Elephant.

Moreover...

The Rakshasa was conflicted, and in the midst of his indecision, he faintly captured another different aura, drawing steadily nearer.

Ice Fist Head Instructor and Fierce Wind, from afar, had locked on to Lord Giant Elephant.

"The fish has taken the bait. I just didn't expect that Thousand-faces would actually infiltrate Giant Elephant himself."

"Erosion, transformation isn't complete yet. Giant Elephant can still be saved. We need to act fast."

"Yes, the encirclement is almost set up; this time, Thousand-faces cannot escape... Wait, hold on."

Ice Fist Head Instructor startled and looked towards the distance, to a seemingly empty space.

The corner of his mouth curled slightly, "Didn't expect this, no didn't expect it at all. There's actually someone else who noticed something off about Giant Elephant, and it's one of those undergoing the mission assessment, from Tianyuan Territory, the Rakshasa."

Fierce Wind was astonished.

He gazed in the direction of Ice Fist's look, for a moment, for an eternity.

Fierce Wind fell silent.

Was this newcomer a monster?

Seeing that Ice Fist Head Instructor had personally arrived, the Rakshasa was in no hurry and quietly waited until Ice Fist and Fierce Wind showed themselves. He then changed from his malevolent form to his normal state and stepped out of the shadows.

The three men, from different directions, surrounded Lord Giant Elephant's squad.

"Head Instructor..."

Before Giant Elephant could finish his words, Ice Fist made his move.

In an instant, the world turned to frozen tundra, and the piercingly cold ice breeze passed over, with Giant Elephant and his troops all frozen within ice crystals.

Ice Fist approached and took out a seal radiating a holy purifying light, intending to affix it to Giant Elephant's forehead.

The next moment,

A faint apparition emerged from Giant Elephant's body, displaying dozens of faces that rapidly changed.

It glanced at Ice Fist, Fierce Wind, and Rakshasa, then "pop," it vanished like a bursting bubble.

Ice Fist's Domain swept in all directions but found no trace.

He then took out a communication device, "First squad, second squad, third squad, intercept the enemy."

But none of the teams reported any disturbance in the Domain or sighted the enemy.

Ice Fist furrowed his brows, for the first time feeling that matters were somewhat beyond his anticipation.

"The ability of Thousand-faces... has evolved again?"

"Could he possibly be controlling several bodies at once, and transferring between them?"

He thought this guess was very probable, but...

How to search for him?

He had fished for so long, just to pinpoint Thousand-faces' location, to try again was no longer feasible.

Damn it!

A robust figure suddenly dashed past from the side, heading straight for the distance.

It was Rakshasa!

Rakshasa soared through the air, charging out of Lushui Town in an instant.

Seeing this, Ice Fist said, "Fierce Wind, continue the investigation here, I'll be right back."

He transformed into a streak of icy light, escaping towards the sky.

Shortly, a guard camp appeared in his field of vision.

There was Rakshasa in the distance, who descended from the sky. Wisps of brown smoke gathered to form, inch by inch, into a long spear, held within his grasp.

His spear thrust like a heavenly dragon, targeting an ordinary-looking Squad Leader.

One thrust, piercing the throat.

But it had only pierced an afterimage.

Flames burning with evil deeds streaked across the sky, trailing sparks.

Not far away, the face of the Squad Leader who dodged Rakshasa's strike flickered and changed, as though dozens of voices overlapped.

"I... remember you."

Thousand-faces glanced at Rakshasa and Ice Fist, who had rapidly followed, then vanished like a shattered illusion, leaving behind a body without a face that fell straight to the ground.

Rakshasa looked towards the heavens, transformed into smoke, and sped off in a certain direction.

The Ice Fist Head Instructor caught up, looking around, and without a word, followed.

At the same time, in Baihe Town.

The Saint of Holy Light, Xi, who had recently arrived in this town, suddenly sensed a whiff of pollution.

"Where is it? There!"

Without hesitation, she summoned the Holy Light, and the enormous Absolute Shining Barrier enveloped the entire lookout post.

Perhaps because Thousand-faces had just switched bodies, under the cover of Holy Light, the visage of the bearded Patrol Brigade Commander changed, as if erased by an eraser and hastily redrawn.

This scene was keenly noticed by Xi.

She swung her colossal hammer towards the distance, the glow of the Holy Light and Thunderbolt shimmering upon it.

The face of Thousand-faces altered.

"What rotten luck I have!"

"However..."

Ice Fist being there was one thing, but being outdone by a couple of mere Legends, how dare they treat your lord Thousand-faces with such impudence!

Dozens of illusory faces appeared, roaring towards the heavens.

The outpost shattered.

The Saint of Holy Light holding the gigantic hammer knelt on one knee, the vast Absolute Shining Barrier flickered uncertainly, and eventually cracked and broke.

At that moment, the Rakshasa transformed into a cloud of smoke had not yet entered the Domain of Baihe Town.

Seeing this scene, he entered the 'Evil Aether Prison Sea' mode. His huge cloud of evil aether surged high into the sky like the waves in a storm. Rakshasa's already rapid speed increased further, transforming into lightning, becoming light.

The icy glow also surged in speed, but...

It was mercilessly left behind.

Ice Fist Head Instructor: "...", although he indeed lacked any flying abilities, to be outpaced by a mere Rookie Legend, wasn't this a bit absurd?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This Thousand-faces was tricky, definitely not to be underestimated!

He could only fly with all his might.

In the distance,

The Thousand-faces, whose features kept changing, spared a glance at Rakshasa and the far more distant Ice Fist; he made his move.

Dozens, hundreds of faces roared once again.

Not far away, the Saint of Holy Light, Xi, kneeling on one knee, had strange faces appearing on her exposed arm. Her face too, was continuously changing, now joyous, now sorrowful.

Rakshasa...

His cloud of Evil Aether stirred with violent ripples, visibly shrinking.

But Rakshasa's momentum remained unyielding, unaffected in the slightest.

The Evil Aether cloud enveloped them.

Within, roars filled the air, and ghostly figures abounded.

The brown cloud of evil aether thinned a little.

But,

When the cloud began to dissipate, three figures emerged on the scene.

One with a green face and ferocious fangs, Rakshasa with dark skin;

Another muscular one holding a long spear;

One in front and one behind, piercing through Thousand-faces ruthlessly.

They also pierced through, only visible to Rakshasa himself, the viscous karmic evil deeds.

At this time, Ice Fist Head Instructor finally arrived at the battlefield.

He couldn't help but ponder, "What exactly was his role in this mission...?"
