n

n

n

n“Go to hell!” The Sacred Progeny roared.

n

nHis shoulder bones had been unsealed by the Divine Constable, and he had recovered all his powers at the Master Realm Level 1. He gave a punch outwards in fury. The demonic energy surged, converging into a terrifying demonic fist that smashed towards Xiao Ran’s chest.

n

n“Can you stop for a minute?” Xiao Ran shook his head wearily.

n

nHis right foot swung out and stomped on the attacker’s fist, crushing it instantly.

n

nMeeting his shocked gaze directly, he stepped on his head and rolled his foot on it a few times.

n

n“Does the earth taste good?”

n

nThe Sacred Progeny struggled with all his might. Although it was only a foot, it felt as heavy as ten thousand pounds. He couldn’t even move a single inch.

n

nThe constables recovered from their shock.

n

n“You’re courting death!”

n

n“Release the Sacred Progeny!”

n

nThe two Saint Constables roared out as demonic energy burst forth from them. They charged forward with all their might, unleashing their maximum power and blocking off Xiao Ran’s escape route.

n

nOne of them formed a claw with his palm and with a loud roar, made a grab for his head.

n

nThe other person brandished his saber in a menacing manner. The hall was inundated with the light from his saber.

n

nCountless saber shadows slashed towards Xiao Ran’s head as he swung the saber.

n

n“You want him, right? I’ll return him to you.” Xiao Ran propelled the Sacred Progeny outwards with one powerful kick.

n

n“Shameless!” The two subordinates stopped immediately at the sound of their superior.

n

nThe powerful force from airborne Sacred Progeny smashed into them, injuring them so badly that they spewed out blood. They were sent crashing to the ground, and all three of them rolled on the ground into one heap.

n

nThe Divine Constable walked up with a frozen look on his face.

n

nHis eagle-like eyes seemed to be able to see through Xiao Ran. “May I ask who are you?”

n

n“I’m not telling you,” Xiao Ran said.

n

n“On account of our Sky Devil Sect, can you extend us some courtesy and let us go?” The Divine Constable asked.

n

nHe could not see through Xiao Ran, therefore he decided to play it safe and tone down his hostility.

n

n“How much is the Sky Devil Sect worth?”

n

n“You won’t budge?”

n

n“I can’t.” Xiao Ran shrugged.

n

nThe Divine Constable became enraged. “You are courting death!”

n

nWithout any warning, he attacked. The angry power of a Grand Master far surpassed that of a Master. An overbearing force issued forth and a thunderous roar reverberated in the air. The entire hall seemed to be cut off from the rest of the world as the crushing force from all directions pressed down on Xiao Ran.

n

n“Sky Devil Realm Shattering Fist!”

n

nA burst of light from the fist blanketed the sky, piercing through heaven and earth. As his arm blasted out, it broke through all techniques and smashed towards Xiao Ran.

n

n“Blood Demon Saber Technique!” Xiao Ran counter-attacked.

n

nHe tapped the tip of the sword lying on the ground with one foot and the sword flew into his grasp.

n

nIt was different from the way the Blood Blade Sect Patriarch executed this technique. Here golden light flooded the air and thousands of rays illuminated the hall.

n

nThe sacred, tyrannical, and haughty blade light was imbued with immutable cosmic truths.

n

nIt converged on this blade, severing all things.

n

nThe beam from the fist disintegrated and the saber beam plunged down.

n

n“No…”

n

nThe ground was left with a saber scar that was more than a thousand feet long and dozens of feet deep. The keen saber aura lingered there for a long time and drowned him out.

n

nEven the two Saint Constable were not spared by the saber.

n

nCrack!

n

nThe ordinary saber could not withstand the tremendous power and disintegrated.

n

n“The quality is too poor.” Xiao Ran shook his head.

n

nHe walked to where the Sacred Progeny laid.

n

nThe Sacred Progeny’s hands scrambled on the ground in frenzy as he pushed himself away from him in fear. “You… what are you doing?”

n

n“Why can’t you just sit in jail obediently? Why do you have to escape?”

n

nSpiritual soul energy gushed out and rampaged into his mind, destroying his consciousness.

n

n“Ah…” The Sacred Progeny screamed and fainted.

n

nHe heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.

n

n“Justice always comes after the fun is over,” Xiao Ran lamented.

n

nHe flopped on the table and pretended to have fainted.

n

nLing Qing’er and Shen Yiming were leading the team.

n

nThe guys from the God Enforcement Division had gone inside for such a long time and had yet to come out. The two of them found it strange and instructed someone to check on them. In the end, they got a big shock.

n

nAll the dungeon guards in the Celestial Dungeon had been knocked out.

n

nNow, they had brought men down to check.

n

nThey discovered that the Sacred Progeny was still in the dungeon but the three guys from the God Enforcement Division had vanished. There was a thousand-foot-long saber scar on the ground. Even with their evolution levels, they could barely withstand the residual saber aura.

n

nGasp!

n

nThe two of them exchanged glances, and Ling Qing’er said with shocked realization, “They’re dead!”

n

n“Luo Xuan is fine, but his consciousness has been destroyed. When he wakes up he will be an idiot,” Shen Yiming said.

n

nLing Qing’er issued an order for Luo Xuan to be locked up in a cell and then revived the dungeon guards. Everyone was severely interrogated and the conclusions they obtained were all the same.

n

nThey only fainted after eating lunch.

n

nWhen Ling Qing’er and Shen Yiming arrived at the canteen, the person in charge of the canteen had already committed suicide by consuming poison. The dead cannot testify.

n

nThe incident was reported to the higher-ups of the Divine Sword Guards and the Spiritual Divinity Bureau.

n

nThe big shots of the two major departments rushed over to the God Enforcement Division angrily. After a heated argument, they almost came to blows.

n

nIn the end, Emperor Sheng Wen caught wind of the fracas and sent an independent party to stop the bickering and launch a thorough investigation.

n

nEventually, the investigation uncovered that the three guys did indeed come from the God Enforcement Division.

n

nThe Chief Divine Constable of the God Enforcement Division went absolutely ballistic. He wanted nothing more than to drag these three subordinates out of the ground and savagely butcher them one more time before entering the palace to receive his punishment.

n

nWhen he came out of the Imperial Palace, his face was so black that it could almost drip ink.

n

nAfter making recompense to the Divine Sword Guards and the Spiritual Divinity Bureau for the loss of their members, he issued an inviolable order to hunt down all remaining Sky Devil Sect members at all costs.

n

nMeanwhile, at the Celestial Dungeon,

n

nLittle Zhou massaged his face gingerly. He was almost in tears from the pain. “Why did he only beat me up? That’s not fair.”

n

nPow!

n

nXiao Ran smacked him on the head. “You mean you want him to beat me up too?”

n

n“Brother Xiao, that’s not what I meant. Luo Xuan is too despicable.”

n

n“You can punch him back,” Xiao Ran helpfully suggested.

n

n“Will I get into trouble?” Little Zhou was worried.

n

n“He has become retarded. What can possibly happen even if you give him a beating?”

n

nLittle Zhou thought that he had a valid point. He pulled Xiao Ran into the cell.

n

n“Father, I want candy.” The Sacred Progeny pounced over and clamored for candy from Little Zhou.

n

n“I’m not your father!” Little Zhou yelled angrily.

n

nWith one kick he sent him flying. Then he straddled him, held his face down to vent all his anger. Every punch landed squarely on his flesh.

n

nAfter a while,

n

nLittle Zhou let out a sigh of satisfaction. “Awesome, this feels awesome!”

n

nBack in the hall,

n

nhis face turned bitter again. “Brother Xiao, I’m going on a blind date tomorrow. If I go looking like this, I’m afraid this blind date will be a complete loss.”

n

nXiao Ran patted his shoulder and said, “Be more confident. It will work out.”

n

n“Why am I so unlucky?”

n

n“Don’t look at me. I can’t help you with this,” Xiao Ran said.

n

nLittle Zhou left sadly.

n

nXiao Ran checked his gains.

n

nHe had been busy up till now, and was questioned by the lieutenant again.

n

nThe Golden Tome of Creation opened to a random page. Golden light swirled about, revealing three items: 200,000 Mastery Points, Sacred Heart Pill, Spirit Spring.

n

nHe added the 200,000 Mastery Points to the Phoenix Essence Sword Technique.

n

nIts realm level remained unchanged but its power had increased by another three notches.

n

nSacred Heart Pill: Activate potential.

n

nHe swallowed the Sacred Heart Pill. He couldn’t taste anything, but felt a stream of heat passing through his body.

n

nSpirit Spring: Special Numinous Treasure

n

nEffect: Ten drops of spirit water could be produced every day. It could slow down one’s aging process and stabilize one’s appearance.

n

nHe retrieved a drop of spirit water and consumed it.

n

nIt was very sweet and had a mysterious power. It was quite delicious.

n

n“Not bad,” Xiao Ran said.

n

nHe endured until it was time to knock off.

n

nLittle Zhou came over with a furtive look and pulled Brother Xiao to the side. “Brother Xiao, have you heard?”

n
