Chapter 101: I Have a Pearl, Long Imprisoned by Dust and Locks (Second Update!)

The cripple exudes heavy killing intent.

Gao Haipeng's heart gave a thud, a chill rising from within him.

He instinctively wanted to retreat, but the thought was suppressed as soon as it arose.

I'm an official!

Why fear a cripple?

"Do you know, just for that sentence, I can say you insulted law enforcement and throw you in prison."

Gao Haipeng glanced sideways at him, face stern:

"You're Qin Shi's teacher? Liang Zhengxiong, right? I've checked your background—learned boxing, served as a soldier, fought in wars, even spent time in prison."

A law-breaking labor reformer released after serving your sentence, daring to say this in front of me? Tired of living!"

Gao Haipeng wasn't bluffing; as an Inspector of the Action Division, he had dealt with many vicious bandits and hardened criminals.

Before being broken, they all scorned the law and were incredibly arrogant.

Once they'd been hit with electric batons, suffered water torture, and spent a few stints in detention, they were more obedient than house dogs!

He naturally believed that no matter how fierce or ruthless this cripple was,

after spending a few years in prison, he would understand the weight of Dongxia's laws!

Law enforcers like himself should naturally be feared!

After all, the right to interpret the law had always been in their hands!

"You probably didn't investigate thoroughly enough. If you had, you wouldn't dare stand before me, intending to harm my only disciple."

The Li Min Cigarette swayed up and down with the opening and closing of his mouth as Lao Liang lowered his head to look down at Gao Haipeng, who exuded official authority:

"Turn around and leave now, and I'll let this breath go. It's been years since I've acted, and I really don't want to... kill again."

Acting means taking lives?

These old martial arts fossils have quite the mouth!

Gao Haipeng's expression changed, thinking he'd misheard, then he laughed in extreme anger:

"I haven't seen a prisoner as arrogant as you in years!"

He indeed hadn't found out which prison this cripple had served time in.

The General Affairs Department's archive only stated that Liang Zhengxiong committed a serious crime but had a good attitude of repentance and excellent performance, so his sentence was reduced at discretion.

Back during the Xinxing Development, Gao Haipeng had dealt with all sorts of scum, and they all thought they were very capable!

But they forgot that the Dongxia Republic has been established for nine millennia; it's no longer the ancient era where knowing a bit of boxing meant being above the law!

Gao Haipeng reached behind his waist, his five fingers closing around something.

The electric baton issued by the Action Division crackled with blue light!

The Inspection Department strictly manages law enforcement personnel carrying firearms.

Usually, during holidays or after work, firearms must be turned in.

Only when returning to work and back at the bureau can they be reissued.

Gao Haipeng was on leave, so he couldn't take a firearm out.

Having this obvious weakness seized upon allowed Chen Ruofu to make an issue of it, and stripping him of his uniform would be considered lenient.

But as a frontline unit, the Action Division, besides professional-level firearms, also equips charged weapons.

Such as this military electric baton.

The high-voltage pulse it generates instantly is enough to pierce bulletproof armor.

The strong current released can paralyze an elephant and knock it down.

Sometimes, this thing is more useful than a firearm.

There was once a combat expert with Qi Life Force over eighty points, not far from Professional Level, who after three hits from an electric baton was still like a limp shrimp.

"Liang Zhengxiong, I'm kind-hearted, so I'll give you an extra word of advice. I'm looking for Qin Shi to get something; he's a poor student from Old Factory Street, and messing with those great families will definitely end badly. Since you're his teacher, you should know a thing or two."

Gao Haipeng unabashedly released his breath, his vast and surging Qi Life Force seeming substantial, bursting forth in layers of thick golden light that illuminated the dim corridor.

This is the power of breaking a hundred points of Qi Life Force and entering Professional Level.

The illusory breath, originally like electromagnetic wave fluctuations, through repeated refinement, gathers into form, and can even leave the body and attach to fists and feet.

So for the Martial Artist Path, only upon promotion to Professional Level is it considered entry level, and the human body can truly face armored tanks and powered machinery without being routed by guns and cannons.

"Over a hundred points of Qi Life Force, trained quite well."

Lao Liang's eyes suddenly turned hot, put down the bag of garbage in his hand, and asked Gao Haipeng:

"Officer, which sentence do you think I should know?"

Gao Haipeng held the electric baton, golden light covering his body, truly imposing and awe-inspiring, his dignity like that of a Spirit Official:

"Naturally, the people's hearts are like iron, official law is like a furnace! Cripple!"

He mobilized his Qi Sense to operate the Great Zhou Heavenly Circuit, his Qi Life Force rising rapidly like roaring waves and surging tides.

Woo woo woo!

The surrounding air twisted, shaking out visible fierce ripples.

Hum!

Qi Lock!

The vast killing intent, like a giant python coiling, directly pressed toward Lao Liang above the stairs!

Once Qi Life Force over a hundred points locks onto a target, it can not only cause deterrent damage similar to a spiritual impact, but also perform mental oppression, pinning them in place, unable to move.

While Gao Haipeng released his Qi Lock on Lao Liang, his figure lunged forward fiercely to kill.

The electric baton drew a dazzling arc light like a strip of silk in the air, like a giant python spitting out its tongue!

This series of attacks moved like thunder and was unstoppable!

Even Martial Artists whose Qi Life Force differed little from his, as long as they were in a situation of having lost the initiative.

Facing the effective lethality of a military Electric Baton, they would also be forced into a miserable defeat, struggling to cope!

Boom!

Lao Liang's eyelids suddenly snapped open; the instant Gao Haipeng locked onto him with Qi Lock, his Qi Life Force, silent for many years, surged and erupted within his body like a lava volcano.

A ferocious, vicious Giant Creature seemed about to revive, opening blood-red, brutal Vertical Pupils.

But Immediately After, it was as if twelve heavy iron chains bound and dragged it, forcibly holding it back.

That viscous, blood-like substance, a terrifying baleful qi akin to building a capital from bones, abruptly shrank back.

But Lao Liang originally only needed a split second of Opportunity; the dense Qi Life Force hidden beneath his Solid trunk gushed forth, colliding with Gao Haipeng's Qi.

Dong!

Like hot oil splashed on ice and snow, sizzling crackles exploded.

A hurricane whipped up in the narrow, cramped stairwell entrance, scraping past.

Large patches of wall skin were ground into powder, peeling off layer by layer!

The years-rusted metal railing seemed gripped tight by an Invisible giant hand, gradually twisting into a corkscrew!

With a "Bang" it snapped in two from the middle!

As if a falcon soaring, pouncing down, Gao Haipeng's body stiffened; the thick Golden Light he prided himself on was actually broken open.

Like the Milky Way reversing, pouring into his body!

This Action Division Inspector's eyes instantly bloodshot, pupils contracting sharply.

Under Qi Lock sensing, phantom images actually jumped out before his eyes!

Soldier-class Divine Machines, dense as raindrops, descending from space...

A shattered Xing Qiu of blended red and black, rock strata and core crushed and cracking...

A Giant Creature vast beyond the field of vision, crawling out of the seething red core...

"What is that?"

Gao Haipeng felt Hair-raising terror, hair standing on end.

Even the most ferocious Criminals, the most ruthless desperadoes, had never made him afraid.

But the great terror emanating from Lao Liang's Qi nearly directly crushed this Action Division Inspector's The Brain!

This is absolutely not an apocalyptic scene humans can witness!

Intense Impact wrapped around Gao Haipeng, causing him to briefly lose focus.

But that Qi Frenzy, terrifying to the extreme, for some reason only appeared for less than half a second.

As a full-time professional who had Broken Through a hundred points of Qi Life Force, Gao Haipeng quickly broke free; the Electric Baton gripped in his five fingers struck out fiercely!

Even so, this Action Division Inspector still maintained a combat stance, without the slightest slackening.

Combat quality cannot be said to be not Solid!

Dazzling Arc Light, like a flame, licked at Lao Liang's body.

The latter raised his palm the moment Gao Haipeng froze; the smoke and dust shaken up in the stairwell swirled, as if drawn.

The next moment, his Palm loosely closed, tightly pinched into a fist, as if clutching the eye of a typhoon!

Boundless airflow erupted from within, howling, roaring!

Hundred Aspects Refining Momentum/Force - Swift as Wind!

Abundant fist Qi Jin pushed forward lightly; the sizzling electric current, like matchsticks doused with water, instantly went silent.

Dong!

The stairwell rang with a muffled thunder, once more shaking the fragile wall surface, shaking down rustling wall powder!

"This cripple..."

Gao Haipeng widened his eyes; the Electric Baton in his palm hadn't even struck yet when it was smashed aside by fist Qi Jin.

He didn't even know how the other party Avoided the arc-shaped electric current that pierced the air like a Snake's tongue.

That fist-holding Palm opened again, lightly and casually Slapping onto the Shoulder.

Scalding hot!

Blazing Qi Jin shattered the protective Golden Light, the Five Viscera Six Bowels instantly flared with fire, devouring the surging, erupting Qi Life Force completely!

Bang!

Gao Haipeng, like a kite with its string cut, was knocked flying; his body slammed horizontally into the stairwell Wall.

"What kind of fighting style is this!"

A cripple with impaired mobility, yet his moves were like a silent ghost, fast and accurate, swift and decisive!

"Liang Zheng..."

Gao Haipeng's back of head struck the wall, smashing a fist-sized pit; he raised his head to look at Lao Liang who hadn't moved half a step, opening his mouth wanting to say something.

Pa!

A foot sole suddenly stomped down!

Gao Haipeng's vision went black, as if he had crashed head-on into a Hundreds of Jin heavy iron anvil!

Head smashed down again!

Smashing an even larger hole in the Wall!

"My Great Power Vajra Palm hasn't even..."

Gao Haipeng felt deeply humiliated, gritted his teeth propping himself up trying to rise, only to be ruthlessly kicked again!

This cripple's Qi Jin is extremely strange, like a poison-tipped hidden weapon, drilling into his body tearing at Si Gen, paralyzing Bai Gu.

Making him unable to muster a single bit of Qi Life Force!

After several consecutive kicks, Gao Haipeng's head banged against the ground, the concrete steps dented and pitted as if chewed by a dog.

"You cripple! You attacked an enforcer……"

Crimson blood covered his face, this Action Division Inspector burned with rage, raising his voice to shout him down.

Lao Liang withdrew his raised foot, limped down the staircase, and slowly sat down beside Gao Haipeng.

"I told you, borrow fire, get lost, or don't borrow and leave your life behind."

He raised two fingers, projecting Qi Life Force, like wood and stone rubbing together, igniting a wisp of sparks to light the Li Min Cigarette held in his mouth.

Hiss!

Lao Liang took a deep drag, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and silently sensed several Breaths rapidly approaching outside the Dormitory Building.

"If I kill again I'll be breaking discipline. But there's no helping it, your kind doesn't treat Bottom Layer people as human, recognizes only power in their eyes, and even beating them hurts won't make them remember."

Halfway through the cigarette, he pressed his palm against Gao Haipeng, who wore a terrified expression.

"I am an Action Division Senior Inspec……"

"Tell the Yan King, Hong Sheng Liang Zhengxiong killed you, don't mistake the person when collecting your life."

His palm covered Gao Haipeng's face, Lao Liang silently smoked his cigarette.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Like charcoal pressed into the Qi Qi, this Action Division Inspector kicked his legs, making hoh-hoh sounds, yet unable to make half a sound.

Eyeballs white and bulging, blood seeping from ears and nose, the vast and surging Qi Life Force was like that Li Min Cigarette, burned away bit by bit, leaving only a few wisps of white ash.

After a long while, Gao Haipeng finally stopped moving.

Lao Liang stubbed out the cigarette butt, paid no mind to that corpse whose Breath had been crushed, a Job Level corpse, and coldly gazed at the several similar Breaths that had already arrived outside.

"So many. Accomplices?"

He seriously considered whether to kill the four or five people outside the building all at once, to cut off future trouble.

Several images suddenly flashed through his Brain Sea: a burning sky, the wreckage of the Divine Machine, the shrill cries of Vassal Creatures in frenzy, a numb man wielding a Power Chain Saw sword, sitting in a mountain of corpses and sea of blood……

Was that me?

Lao Liang felt Confusion.

The Fire Punishment Nail deeply rooted in his body firmly suppressed the suddenly active Qi Life Force, barely suppressing that terrifying Breath.

"Forget it, ask first, maybe they're good people."

The stabbing pain filling every inch of flesh and blood made Lao Liang regain some calm.

But the riotous killing intent continued to struggle and twist, like a ferocious demon jiao wanting to poke out of his body.

His expression changed, until the Breath, like a calm lake boiling and surging, sensed a wisp of brilliant Light Radiance.

That weak yet vigorous Qi Life Force, its Wave Fluctuation like clean clouds, clear and bright.

Just like a bright moon illuminating the great thousand!

The killing intent dissipated.

Peaceful as before.

"A little……"

Lao Liang was stunned, then smiled and said:

"Broke the Spirit Gate."
