Chapter 431: Chapter 427: Raid the House
Electric currents propelled him.
Under the thrust of electric currents, Gu Jinlai was like those wearing mechanical exoskeleton armor, exerting just a fraction of effort yet unleashing twelvefold Fist Force.
Moreover...
With the assistance of such power, his greatest advantage was speed.
The Fist Force blasted out, creating a splendid and dazzling interplay of light and shadow, and the punches he threw were like a violent storm, completely engulfing Wan Tianlie’s figure.
"Gu Jinlai!"
Wan Tianlie bellowed, his Qi Blood Power surged violently, and above him appeared a phantasm of a Flame Demon.
That was a sign of the Flame Demon Prison Suppressing Technique being executed to its limits.
This Flame Demon, entirely formed from Wan Tianlie’s inner Qi and Fist Intent, roared towards the sky, boldly swinging its fist, colliding head-on with the flurry of punches, striving to break through this storm-like barrage and counterattack.
Yet as this Flame Demon phantom just managed to shatter some of the punches, more Fist Force was already surging violently and explosively arriving.
Accompanied by flames bursting forth, he threw three hundred and sixty-five punches in one breath.
"Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!"
The collision of Fist Force, wind force, and the power of flames crazily, making the entire Wan Family courtyard seem as though it was being bombarded by three hundred and sixty-five mortars simultaneously.
The naked eye could see the Power and airwaves crazily dispersing in every direction, tearing black traces across the ground.
Even more dispersing energy blasted towards the surrounding buildings, toppling houses and walls built of superior materials, extremely sturdy, and stirring up a great deal of dust.
Some closer high-level experts of the Wan Family were blasted away by the Gang Qi, vomiting Bright Red blood.
"Retreat! Fall back quickly!"
As Wan Yixia, Tang Zhengxiao, and others witnessed the devastation of the full-force battle between the two Martial Kings, they shouted simultaneously.
Once a Martial King had struck, this battle was no longer something Martial Sect members, military generals, or even ordinary Martial Artists could easily interfere with.
"Roar!"
As the crowd barely managed to retreat, the ferocious and furious Flame Demon phantom let out a roar like a great gong or drum and finally...
Faced with the unreasonably fast Fist Force strikes from Gu Jinlai, it collapsed with a thunderous explosion.
"Rumbling!"
As the Flame Demon phantom collapsed, the fierce and violent energy burst forth, the compressed and visible white airwaves sweeping across all directions, shattering all the glass and porcelain within several hundred meters.
The fiercely scattering flames spread over hundreds of meters, turning into roaring fires as they fell to some areas, wantonly burning, and the center of the two combatants’ battle turned into a Purgatory Fire Sea.
Before the crowd could clearly see what exactly had happened in the midst of the fire sea, they already heard Wan Tianlie’s frantic shouts.
"Stop! Stop! Ancient Martial King, I won’t interfere with the Wan Family’s matters, you..."
"Rumbling!"
The Earth shook.
In the center of the blazing fire sea, it seemed as if a terrifying force suddenly rippled out, lifting the ground within dozens of meters as if a stone had been tossed into water, creating visible ripples spreading in all directions.
Wherever the ripples traveled, the uplifted tiles and floorboards were all shattered, then transformed into dust and gravel, shooting towards farther areas.
Even those who had retreated a hundred meters away, including members from the Law Enforcement Court and the Fang Family, were injured by the bullet-like gravel, with blood spraying.
Amid the dust, a shadow hastily retreated, in panic and disarray.
It was Wan Tianlie, the greatest support of the Wan Family.
At that moment, he was disheveled, covered in Bright Red blood, his Spirit Armor shattered, appearing extremely wretched.
Yet he could not care less about his appearance, only wishing to leave the battlefield as quickly as possible.
Seeing this scene, even the slow-reacting Wan Yixia knew that his family’s greatest support, Martial King Wan Tianlie, had lost.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he shouted loudly to the other principals of the Wan Family: "Let’s go! Run!"
"Swoosh!"
Sword light broke the sky!
Just as Wan Tianlie who was in a hasty retreat had not yet managed to burst away, a high-speed spinning Spirit Sword had already smashed through the sound barrier, hitting Wan Tianlie’s body.
Instantly, Gang Qi and blood light burst forth together.
The hastily retreating Wan Tianlie vomited Bright Red blood, lost his balance, and heavily fell to the ground. Amidst flying rocks, he swiftly carved a trench dozens of meters long into the Earth.
"Sizzle!"
Electric light flashed.
Amidst the dust, the figure of Gu Jinlai charged forth for the kill.
The explosive burst given by Crossing the World·Four Seas and accelerated by electric current propelled him, making his speed far surpass the speed of sound at this moment.
However, the resistance caused by the resonance between the biological and star magnetic fields did not result in any roaring or loud sounds.
Wan Tianlie, having been pierced and blown away by the Spirit Sword with the power of "Ten Directions Annihilation," still possessed a breath of life thanks to the Martial King’s mighty vitality, but when he saw Gu Jinlai following closely for the kill, his pupils could not help but wildly dilate.
"No! Ancient Martial King, spare..." 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
"Bang!"
Gu Jinlai’s ten-meter-tall robust body heavily fell to the ground, his legs imbued with Power trampling down on Wan Tianlie’s skull, instantly crushing him along with the ground he lay on into powder, and forming a crater with a width of five to six meters.
By killing Wan Tianlie, Gu Jinlai raised his hand fiercely, and the Spirit Sword he had thrown earlier returned to his hand.
His gaze swept over the panic-stricken Wan Family members: "The Wan Family members are obstinate and refuse to submit to the law, now, they shall be executed without exception!"
Tang Zhengxiao, An Yu, Fu Youguang, and others seeing this scene, felt their breath catch.
Dead!?
The Wan Family’s Wan Tianlie, just like that, is dead!?But now...
there was no chance to run; Gu Jinlai had directly executed him with overwhelming force.
This strength...
Top Martial King!
Moreover, it was the kind of top Martial King close to the peak!
Only by surpassing two minor levels could one ensure that the opponent would not have the chance to flee with their life.
Our district chief actually had this strength, so what was there to be afraid of?
"Stop them!"
"Wan Family, it’s time to pay for your actions over the years."
"Surrender immediately, resisting till the end will lead you to a dead end!"
Instantly, experts from the Law Enforcement Court shouted as they encircled and attacked.
The Law Enforcement Court had over a hundred people; among them, Tang Zhengxiao, An Yu, and Fu Youguang stood out as exceptional individuals with Refining God and military general-level strength, while the rest were mostly ordinary martial artists.
Yet those from the Wan Family ranked higher than them.
But now, with Wan Tianlie, the Wan Family’s biggest support, dead at the hands of Gu Jinlai, the Wan Family members lost all will to fight.
Additionally, since the main task of Tang Zhengxiao and the others was to entangle them, the difficulty naturally decreased significantly.
Gu Jinlai’s sword light roared as he annihilated a Martial Sect and two military generals in an instant, positioning himself directly in front of Wan Yixia.
Fear immediately escalated to an unprecedented peak in Wan Yixia’s eyes, and he trembled, "Ancient Martial King, District Master Gu, our Wan Family admits its guilt. I can give you anything you want... "
"Boom!"
What awaited him was a strike from Gu Jinlai, overpowering and swift as thunder.
Under the drive of electricity, all Wan Yixia could perceive was a streak of light flashing before his eyes, the thunder-like roaring already completely solidifying his thoughts.
To the onlookers, the strike that Gu Jinlai executed before him not only shattered his skull but also allowed him to stretch out his hand and retrieve the revolving Spirit Sword back into his grasp with one smooth movement.
He advanced again, charging into the crowd of the Wan Family members.
No one could withstand his sword.
Under these circumstances, when Gu Jinlai had effortlessly killed more than a dozen high-ranking members of the Wan Family, the remaining members finally collapsed.
"Spare us, Ancient Martial King, spare our lives..."
"I’ll confess, I’m willing to confess my crimes. Please, Ancient Martial King, show mercy."
Suddenly, the few remaining members of the Wan Family knelt down in droves.
Gu Jinlai’s gaze swept over the crowd.
Those whose Karma was as bright red as blood were all executed without a touch of mercy.
And these accomplices were also made examples of, facing the strict punishment of the law.
"Take them back!"
Gu Jinlai ordered without hesitation.
"Yes."
Tang Zhengxiao and others, revitalized, stepped forward to apprehend the members of the Wan Family.
Faced with the deterrence of Martial King level power and with almost all high-ranking members of the Wan Family killed, no one dared to resist.
Among the hundreds of law enforcers, some escorted the young members of the Wan Family while others stormed into the Wan household to organize all the resources that had been violently amassed over the years.
With their quite professional methods, the entire Wan Family was swiftly ransacked.
"District chief... please look."
Soon enough, An Yu had already brought out some contraband, people who had been persecuted and detained by the Wan Family, along with some documentary records.
His expression carried indignation, "Actually, we had already gathered some evidence of the Wan Family’s crimes, but I never imagined they could have committed such a heinous accumulation of atrocities. The information we had was not even a tenth or twentieth of the crimes they had committed."
"These people should be punished as they deserve, severely and rigorously. We must display the dignity of the Law Enforcement Court and the authority of the Holy Dynasty’s law, lest they think the laws of the dynasty are mere decorations and act recklessly."
Gu Jinlai said sternly.
"Understood."
An Yu nodded.
"Next, we head to the Fang Family."
"The Fang Family..."
An Yu glanced at Gu Jinlai.
With the lesson of the Wan Family before him, he no longer thought that Gu Jinlai’s talk of dealing with the Fang Family was a joke.
Yet, he couldn’t help but remind, "Sir, although the Fang Family is comparable in scale to the Wan Family, they have ties with Martial Saint Fang Yan from the Martial Saint Institute. You see... should we inform Martial Saint Fang Yan?"
"There’s no need, I trust Martial Saint Fang Yan’s character."
Gu Jinlai said gravely.
Of course, this was just a platitude.
He had met Martial Saint Fang Yan.
The Karma on this Martial Saint, although not as dark as the flames like Dean Wu Tianya of the Martial Saint Institute, had also reached the dark red like ink level.
However...
With the Clearing Department newly established and the Fang Family indeed guilty of numerous crimes, as long as he could substantiate the crimes of the Fang Family, he didn’t believe Fang Yan would risk his own position for them.
After all, that family head of the Fang Family was just one of Fang Yan’s Martial Arts Youths, to say that their relationship was very close was improbable.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be wandering around the Outer City District, flaunting power boastfully.
