Chapter 65: Hanyue City Crisis Resolved

The moment Jiang Qin appeared, the remaining Martial Artists of Hanyue City could not help but cheer.

"It's the Special Envoy! The Special Envoy has come to help us!"

"These damned Fierce Beasts have invaded our homeland — we beg the Special Envoy to act and destroy them!"

"Please, Special Envoy, save our Hanyue City!"

"Please, Special Envoy, save our Hanyue City!!"

"..."

Compared to them, the Martial Artists belonging to the three great families could not help but retreat in fear.

Others might not know, but how could they not know?

By all rights, shouldn't this fellow have died in Kuangfeng Xiagu? How could he appear here? Read novels at Tiantian Kan Xiaoshuo, ttk. tw — supercharged!

The plan... has failed!

Just one person alone, and he intimidated both the beast tide and the Martial Artists present into not daring to move.

Jiang Qin's pupils had already returned to their original color. He looked at the two Divine Image Realm Martial Artists and spoke coldly:

"Do you have any last words you wish to leave behind?"

The two exchanged a glance and began playing dumb. They refused to believe Jiang Qin would strike them in front of so many people.

In the eyes of these common folk, they were heroes right now.

"Special Envoy Jiang, what are you saying? We can't understand a word of it."

"That's right, we should hurry and fight the Fierce Beasts — let's not waste time here."

Jiang Qin nodded and said: "Since your last words are that, then you may now... go and die."

He raised his hand, and two Slashes burst forth.

Sensing the dangerous aura, the two Divine Image Realm cultivators hastily condensed their Dharma Images, but those two Invisible Slashes easily tore through their defenses — their supposedly indestructible Dharma Images were like paper.

Under the disbelieving gazes of the crowd, two headless corpses fell to the ground.

Countless Fierce Beasts wanted to devour those two 'precious medicines,' but deterred by the overwhelming might of the young man above them — that force like a heavenly punishment — they forcibly suppressed their cravings and dared not act rashly.

Jiang Qin's voice rang out loud and clear, reaching the ears of everyone present.

"The Li Family, Lei Family, and Zhao Family of Hanyue City should have been diligently developing the Hanyue Mine, but according to the investigation by our Spirit Suppression Bureau, not only did the three families secretly fabricate account books, they also privately sold Hanyue Ore to enemy nations, and maintained secret ties with the Church of the Gods. This war today was caused by them, solely to eliminate me, a threat to them."

"Therefore, in my capacity as the Town Guardian Special Envoy of Hanyue City, I pronounce their sentence... death!"

The instant his words fell.

Countless bolts of lightning descended from the high sky, striking precisely at the Martial Artists of the three great families.

Distinguishing their identities was also simple.

The Martial Artists of the three great families were all dressed in finery. Even after resisting the beast tide for so long, though their clothes were disheveled and stained with blood, a closer look would reveal the falseness of it.

As the lightning punishment descended, for a time countless screams of agony echoed across the battlefield.

"Ah!! Special Envoy, spare us! All of this was instigated by our superiors — we are innocent!"

"Exactly! It wasn't us who sold the ore — on what grounds do you sentence us to death? I refuse to accept this! This is an abuse of power! I will report you to the Spirit Suppression Bureau Headquarters!"

"He's a devil! Everyone, run!"

"Ugh...!"

Some chose to scream in fury, some chose to turn and flee.

But in the end, they were all struck into charred charcoal.

Cao Hai immediately gave his subordinate a look. The latter understandingly nodded and took out a walkie-talkie.

"Begin."

Soon, under the Spirit Suppression Bureau's operation, a projection appeared over the battlefield.

The projection showed scenes inside the Hanyue Mine, documenting the dark side of the three great families — treating human lives as their tools for making money. Even children barely in their teens were not spared; the corpses that died daily in the mine could pile into a small mountain.

Among them were also videos of their ore transactions with the Great Jin Kingdom.

This was the result of the Spirit Suppression Bureau Investigators working Day and Night.

The battlefield fell deathly silent. The Martial Artists stared at the projection contents in disbelief.

They could not understand — how did the three great families dare to do such things? Were they not afraid of heavenly punishment?

If moments ago some still suspected Jiang Qin was settling a personal grudge under the guise of public duty.

Then now, everyone would only say one thing: well killed!

"These beasts! They wouldn't even spare children — they should all go straight to hell!"

"Well killed, Special Envoy! Beasts like these don't deserve to be called 'human,' don't deserve to live in this world!"

"Bah! Don't think being charred to charcoal lets you off the hook — take my boy's urine!"

"Count me in..."

At this moment, however, Jiang Qin was watching the battlefield with a slight frown, because although there were many people from the three great families present, aside from those two Divine Image Realm cultivators, not a single core member was to be seen — especially those three, including Zhao Tianji.

Butler Jiang's figure appeared at his side, casually tossing a corpse onto the ground.

"Young Master, the core members of the three great families should have already fled to the Bajier Tribe. Even if things are exposed, they will be safe for the time being."

They even prepared a second contingency — how cautious.

But, do they think they can escape like this...

A cold smile curled at the corner of Jiang Qin's mouth. He instructed: "You stay here and help Cao Hai and the others clean up these Fierce Beasts. The people from the Church of the Gods have already been cleared by me; although these Fierce Beasts are numerous, they are nothing but a rabble."

"Then, Young Master, you..."

"I'll go take a little stroll to that Bajier Tribe, get some air."

Not to reciprocate would be discourtesy!

Jiang Qin's figure transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot away, vanishing beyond the horizon.

With his departure, those Fierce Beasts grew restless once more.

But they no longer besieged the city as before; most chose to scatter and flee. The successive deaths had driven them to follow their instincts, desperate to leave this place of peril.

With Steward Jiang's help, the Martial Artists of Hanyue City began to counterattack.

Su Lingwei, whom Jiang Qin had brought back, found Chen Xiaohu resting on the city wall.

Only now, black blood kept trickling from the corner of Chen Xiaohu's mouth — a rather ghastly sight.

Meeting her puzzled gaze, he smiled carelessly and said:

"I went along with the boss and got captured by those people. They fed me some poison that keeps eating away at my insides... but it's nothing, just a minor fatal wound. As long as I don't drop dead on the spot, in at most half a Time the toxin will all be flushed out."

Su Lingwei walked over, sat down beside him, hugged her knees, and gazed in the direction Jiang Qin had left — both worried and happy for him.

"He's... gotten stronger again."

"Mm!"

Chen Xiaohu felt much the same.

Whether him or Su Lingwei, both were geniuses among geniuses — that was why they could join Jiang Qin's team. Yet they couldn't even fight shoulder to shoulder with him; merely keeping up with his back required their absolute all.

They'd have to work even harder from now on!

Having recovered some strength, the two leaped down from the city wall and joined the encirclement and slaying of the Fierce Beasts.

Roughly 1 Time later, the Fierce Beasts lingering below the city had been slaughtered to the last. Blood dyed the earth red — none of the peace and harmony of days past remained, only bloodiness and the cruelty of the battlefield.
