Chapter 229

"Come, let me see what you have to break the rules?!"

As Xu Jing's words fell, figures swept toward this side.

The two helmsmen of the General Stop-Goe Academy: Chu Bo, Fu Lang.

Three Dao Foundation stage consultants from the General Supervisory Academy.

They all came.

In addition, a flying sword, a bright mirror, a bronze drum, and a white jade ruler—four magic treasures rose into the air with noisy momentum, distributing themselves to the four sides of the square.

In an instant, sword light was like a dragon, the bronze drum drove the gale to emit bursts of tiger roars, the sea of fire turned into a giant bird, and surging waves emerged around the bright mirror!

Azure Dragon on the east side, White Tiger on the west side, Zhu Que on the south side, Black Tortoise on the north side!

The people from the General Law Academy had arranged the ritual around this square in advance, so as soon as the four Attachment stage Great Mages made a move, they reproduced the Four Symbols Star Constellation Seal in the blink of an eye.

This great formation once blocked the path of the 'Blade King' Gu Xianfeng on Tiefeng Mountain!

As this great formation appeared, the people on the outskirts of the square could no longer see the situation inside and fled in all directions under the terrifying pressure.

In the square, the inspectors and martial artists below the Qi Transformation stage also retreated one after another, hiding far away.

Governor Bian Jingru actually didn't want to get involved in the grievances between Xu Jing and Hao Yi, but Hao Yi openly ran over to raid the execution ground, which was a slap in the face of the entire Datong Prefecture!

Governor Bian Jingru had to take care of it.

Moreover, after Hao Yi appeared, he was not the only one at the scene who wanted him dead besides Xu Jing.

"This person defies national law and truly deserves to die. I ask the Garrison Commander to order his immediate execution!"

On the viewing platform, Shen Zhaolin, Deputy Inspector General of the General Supervisory Academy, shouted sternly.

More than thirty years ago, there were not three major families in Datong Prefecture, but five, one of which was the Shen family.

Thanks to Hao Yi, the head of the Shen family back then and a group of Shen family members were all imprisoned for various reasons, causing the Shen family to suffer great damage and never be able to be mentioned in the same breath as the other major families again.

Although Shen Zhaolin had climbed to the position of sitting official again with the efforts of the entire family, his hatred for Hao Yi had not dissipated; his father died because of Hao Yi.

"That's right, such a thief must not be allowed to escape today!"

A Deputy Chief Judge of the General Judicial Academy on the side also spoke.

Several elders of his family were also arrested because of Hao Yi, and some were sentenced to death.

Although the officialdom of Datong Prefecture was almost completely 'shuffled' because of Hao Yi back then, there were still some families that 'rose from the ashes' and occupied high positions again after many years.

At this time, there were two sitting officials on the viewing platform who wanted Hao Yi dead!

In addition, an Attachment stage Great Mage from the General Law Academy and a Dao Foundation stage consultant from the General Supervisory Academy also had old grudges with Hao Yi back then.

So there was no need for Governor Bian Jingru to give an order; some people couldn't help but make a move.

In the air, the Zhu Que condensed from flames roared at the sky, then swooped down from the air toward Hao Yi!

This Great Mage from the General Law Academy was forming a formation with others at this time, and his move immediately affected the entire great formation.

Jiang Jin, who was responsible for presiding over this great formation, sighed and also made a move.

So in the next instant, the sword light like an Azure Dragon, the bronze drum surrounded by gales, and the bright mirror surrounded by frost—these three magic treasures also moved and attacked Hao Yi together!

On the execution platform, Xu Jing watched this scene with interest and didn't rush to make a move.

According to Hao Yi's principles, the experts at the scene responsible for maintaining the safety of the execution ground were innocent and should not be killed.

So he wanted to watch Hao Yi break his own principles and be forced to kill!

Watching the four magic treasures falling toward him from above, Hao Yi extended his right hand and said softly:

"Rise."

Hum hum hum hum hum hum—

In the square, the blades and swords in the hands of hundreds of guards flew out of their hands and flew toward the sky one after another!

In the next second, every weapon quickly turned red, hot, and then ignited with flames.

Hundreds of weapons were hundreds of fireballs, rushing into the sky!

In an instant, the temperature of the entire Rongguang Square rose by more than ten degrees, as if it had turned into a furnace.

The four magic treasures falling down were blocked by hundreds of fireballs, and the Four Symbols Star Constellation Seal was affected by a powerful force of will, becoming unstable.

"Heaven and Earth Furnace Strength, 【Magnetic Horn】?"

Xu Jing looked at Hao Yi with excited eyes, "After so many years, you really haven't given up!"

The core implant required for Heaven and Earth Furnace Strength is the fire-attributed 【Refining Blade】, which was also the first implant Hao Yi incorporated.

And 【Magnetic Horn】 is an earth-attributed implant; the previous Garrison Commander of the Xingcheng City Guard, Wei Ge, used this implant.

Back then, when the Tiger Blade Gang and the Chief's faction were fighting in the city, Wei Ge led the City Guard to confront the Supervisory Academy, and Li Fei was slashed by Wei Ge to protect Li Lei. Afterward, Hao Yi stood up for Li Fei and returned a slash to Wei Ge, showing the ability of 【Magnetic Horn】 at that time.

The 【Magnetic Horn】 implant has two extraordinary abilities: one is the attraction to metal, and the other is the repulsion to metal.

Just now, when Hao Yi appeared, he caused the weapons in the hands of all the guards in the square to vibrate, which was the extraordinary ability of 【Magnetic Horn】.

At this time, he controlled hundreds of weapons to rise into the air, also using the ability of 【Magnetic Horn】.

After stepping into the Dao Foundation stage, the incorporation order of implants must follow the principle of the Five Elements generating each other, either in order or in reverse.

Hao Yi's core strength is the fire-attributed Heaven and Earth Furnace Strength, so the order in which he incorporated implants was 'reverse order':

The first implant was the fire-attributed 【Refining Blade】, and the second had to be a wood-attributed implant, because wood generates fire.

The third had to be a water-attributed implant, because water generates wood.

The fourth had to be a metal-attributed implant, because metal generates water.

The last one incorporated was the earth-attributed implant, because earth generates metal. (Note 1)

When Hao Yi was trying to construct his Martial Dao Foundation and intended to break through the realm back then, he suffered heavy injuries, leading to damage to his Dao Foundation; the most severely damaged was the last incorporated earth-attributed implant, 【Magnetic Horn】.

Because the last incorporated implant must 'connect the preceding and the following', once the breakthrough fails, the last incorporated implant bears the brunt and suffers the most damage!

It was also because of the lack of this link that Hao Yi's fire-attributed strength could not circulate completely, and fire poison continuously accumulated in his body, causing his hands to mutate.

But even though the earth-attributed implant 【Magnetic Horn】 was the most severely damaged, Hao Yi used 【Magnetic Horn】 casually when he attacked Wei Ge back then.

If it were really severely damaged, he could have used other means; after all, the Wei Ge he had to deal with was only a Qi Transformation stage martial artist.

Unfortunately, everyone present at the time had their attention attracted by the fight between Hao Yi and Yu Hu, and didn't care at all about Hao Yi teaching a small character a lesson.

Otherwise, one could actually see some clues from this detail.

Now Hao Yi has shown even more powerful extraordinary abilities using 【Magnetic Horn】!

This is a complete showdown.

This means that after so many years, the injuries in Hao Yi's body are not as heavy as others thought.

"Attack together!"

That Dao Foundation stage consultant who had old grudges with Hao Yi shouted and took the lead in rushing toward Hao Yi.

The four Attachment stage Great Mages of the General Law Academy joined forces to set up a formation, which could even temporarily contain a Martial Dao Master, let alone Hao Yi, who was at the Dao Foundation stage?

Even if Hao Yi had returned to his peak back then, it would be difficult to deal with these Dao Foundation stage powerhouses at the same time while being contained by the Four Symbols Star Constellation Seal with most of his mental energy and strength.

As this Dao Foundation stage consultant rushed forward, Chu Bo and the others also made moves one after another.

Duty-bound, with so many big figures watching behind them, they couldn't afford to hold back.

Watching the five Dao Foundation stage powerhouses rushing toward him, Hao Yi looked calm, and the right hand he extended flipped downward:

"Fall."

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Half of the hundreds of fireballs blocking the great formation in the air suddenly fell toward these five Dao Foundation stage powerhouses.

Like flaming meteors falling from the sky, these fireballs smashed down with astonishing momentum, forcing the five Dao Foundation stage powerhouses to deal with these fireballs first.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The earth shook one after another, and one large pit after another was smashed out on Rongguang Square.

After the fireballs exploded, the weapons inside also disintegrated, exploding into countless iron fragments that splashed in all directions, like an artillery shell explosion!

Some of these iron fragments would hit the protective strength of the Dao Foundation stage powerhouses and turn into dust, while others would directly melt into molten iron and fall to the ground.

The molten iron on the ground connected with other molten iron, triggering more flame strength to condense together, and then erupted!

The five Dao Foundation stage powerhouses were like being in a flame hell, with flames erupting from both above their heads and under their feet.

These flames were actually Heaven and Earth Furnace Strength; Hao Yi created a small furnace locally, covering all five Dao Foundation stage powerhouses, seemingly intending to refine the five people into molten iron as well!

At the same time, when half of the 'fireballs' accelerated downward, the remaining half of the 'fireballs' were pushed by a reaction force and also violently accelerated to hit the great formation in the air, then exploded one after another.

Boom boom boom boom—

A piece of 'fireworks' exploded over the square, and a long river of flames seemed to be flowing in the sky; the Four Symbols Star Constellation Seal vibrated violently, and the four magic treasures were strongly interfered with and were shaken back one after another.

Heaven launches a killing intent, lava hell!

On the execution platform, Xu Jing watched this familiar scene, recalling the scene when he fought Hao Yi back then.

Hao Yi actually only has four core-level extraordinary abilities; theoretically, he could only become a 7th-tier Dao Foundation stage.

But he was still able to stand firmly at the peak of the Dao Foundation stage back then, becoming a powerhouse above the 7th tier, relying on his extraordinary combat skills.

Combining strength and multiple extraordinary abilities perfectly to form this 'Heaven and Earth Furnace' in front of him!

With the reappearance of this Heaven and Earth Furnace, it means that even if Hao Yi's combat power hasn't recovered to his peak back then, it's not far off.

Back then, Hao Yi was able to leave Datong Prefecture alive, besides Shi Caiming's strong protection, it was also because his Dao Foundation was indeed severely damaged, and the five implants in his body were mostly damaged.

Everyone who had seen Hao Yi came to the same conclusion: this person is already finished!

At most, he would be an ordinary Dao Foundation stage person struggling on his deathbed for the rest of his life, and it would be impossible for him to achieve anything else.

If it weren't for this conclusion, even with Shi Caiming's strong protection, the powerful and influential people in Datong Prefecture back then would not have let Hao Yi leave alive.

And unlike Li Fei, they completely believed that Shangguan Xiao could choose to murder her own father in order to obtain the Zhang family.

No one knows how Hao Yi did it.

No one knows why this person, who was targeted by almost the entire Datong Prefecture for more than thirty years and finally lost extremely miserably, still wanted to continue tossing and why he still refused to give up?

Today, Hao Yi brought out the accumulation and results of his past thirty-plus years, but he appeared here in the posture of raiding the execution ground.

He worked hard for more than thirty years, wanting to start over once.

But today, he gave up all of this.

He violated the 'Dao' he had always adhered to.

This man never disdained to explain anything for himself; previously, facing Xu Jing's questioning, he only responded lightly with "So what if I am".

No one knows how his state of mind is now, and Xu Jing can't tell either.

"Is that all?"

Xu Jing looked at Hao Yi, who was standing in place, and asked disdainfully.

In fact, the time for this trap to be launched was earlier than expected, because Hao Yi's several moves in Xingcheng made some people feel uneasy.

Now it seems that launching it in advance was indeed necessary.

But Xu Jing still mocked:

"If it's only this, then you don't even have the qualifications to die at my hands today!"

As his words fell, several more figures rushed toward this side.

Among them were two Martial University professors, one of whom was Wen Ke, previously ranked seventh on the Feng Province Wind and Cloud List, but because the Green-Faced Ghost moved up, he is now ranked eighth.

There was also a professor named Guan Haoxuan; he was the previous third on the Feng Province Wind and Cloud List, but now his position has been replaced by the Green-Faced Ghost, becoming fourth.

Wen Ke is a 5.5-tier Dao Foundation stage, and Guan Haoxuan is a 6.5-tier!

Besides these two professors, Fan Yan, a provincial capital expert responsible for protecting the safety of the investigation team, also came.

He is a famous Martial Dao expert in the provincial capital, nicknamed 'Dragon-Splitting Hand', and his famous battle was killing a fifth-grade superior dragon beast one-on-one.

On the Feng Province Wind and Cloud List released by Wangyue Tower, Fan Yan is now ranked seventh, and is also a 5.5-tier Dao Foundation stage powerhouse.

In this way, counting Chu Bo, who was previously ranked tenth on the Wind and Cloud List and later squeezed out, there were four Wind and Cloud List experts at the scene!

Although Hao Yi blocked the Four Symbols Star Constellation Seal and five Dao Foundation stage powerhouses with a flip of his palm, he was actually not as relaxed as he looked.

If Wen Ke and the others joined the battle, the situation would instantly reverse!

That's why Xu Jing said that if Hao Yi was limited to this, he didn't even have the qualifications to die at his hands.

Because there was no need for him to make a move at all.

Others might just want Hao Yi to die, but he wanted Hao Yi to die after his state of mind collapsed!

He wanted Hao Yi to rack his brains and try his best, yet still be unable to save anyone, and then watch Shangguan Xiao die in front of him.

"Attack."

Xu Jing said coldly.

Wen Ke still had a gentle expression; she bowed to Hao Yi in front:

"Senior Hao Yi, sorry."

Then she took the lead and rushed up.

But in the next second, a figure blocked in front of her, blocking between her and Hao Yi.

"Today, none of you are getting past."

The person said word by word.

Begging for monthly votes.
