Chapter 211 - 210: A Lone Intrusion, Suppressing All

The moment Li Jing’s sword light touched the ground, all monsters and the Six Realm Lu family in Seeking Immortal Winery detected it instantly.

Every one of them was at least from the Fourth realm.

An openly displayed level five spirit weapon was dropped at the entrance of the winery; it was hard for them not to notice it.

With this awareness, including the Six Realm Lu family, all the monsters in the winery changed their expressions.

In broad daylight, a spirit weapon was being controlled to arrive.

It was either the patrol or the Management Bureau!

The former possibility was bigger.

Before anyone could react, the whole winery was suddenly enveloped in subspace.

At that moment, Seeking Immortal Winery went into an uproar.

Apart from a Six Realm member of the Lu family, the winery was filled with monsters from the Demon Beast Union. How sensitive were they?

With the surprise arrival of the patrol, an immediate spatial boundary was revealed.

Anyone with a sane mind could realize that the Seeking Immortal Winery, as a temporary base for the Demon Beast Union, had been exposed.

The patrol had come to kill!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

One after another, tall, short, male, or female figures broke through their respective buildings, and began to control the sky.

Then, everyone received a shock.

Within sight, there was only one person.

Could it be.....

Has the Seeking Immortal Winery been exposed or not?

If it has been exposed, it made no sense for only one person to arrive.

If not, why would the patrol establish a spatial boundary upon arrival?

At the entrance of the winery, Li Jing stood holding his sword.

Noticing that all forty-three monsters were exposed by breaking through their respective structures the moment they fell into the subspace, he turned his attention to the man and the woman who broke out of the mansion in the center.

The male was bulky and muscular, giving off a strong manly vibe.

Above his head, a health bar showing a value of 8354 was displayed.

A Six Realm mid-term Great Demon.

Then he looked at the woman.

She had a beautiful face and a graceful figure.

Li Jing’s eyebrows furrowed slightly when he saw her.

Ever since he arrived at the national capital, he had studied the major figures of the Seven Great Families.

At first glance, he recognized the woman as the newly-promoted Six Realm member of the Lu family.

Lu Yanran, 82 years old.

She was the younger sister of Lu Hua, the family head of the Lu family.

The records showed that she reached the Six Realm two years ago, being one of the most talked-about figures in the national capital in the past two years.

Reaching the Six Realm at the age of 80, Lu Yanran’s talent was just mediocre.

Being the younger sister of Lu Hua, the family head of the Lu family, she had enjoyed countless resources, just reaching the Six Realm at this age.

If you were to say she was extraordinarily talented, it would be a stretch.

However, being able to reach the Six Realm, she did have something special about her.

The higher you go in cultivation, the harder it is to improve.

Even if you use money and resources to force it, without a true talent, you might not be able to make it.

Living longer and being older is not a reason to keep improving your realm level.

There were plenty of cultivators who only reached the Fourth realm at the age of 80.

Some of the less talented ones even had a cultivation level of just the second or third realm.

Lu Yanran was not only talented but also had an extraordinary background.

Being beautiful and single, she became very popular after becoming the Lu family’s newly promoted Six Realm member.

The market for Six Realm female cultivators was vast.

In the past two years, heaven knows how many single Six Realm male cultivators have broken down the doorstep of the Lu family out of admiration for her. However, Lu Yanran valued herself highly and dismissed them all.

Naturally, Lu Yanran earned herself the reputation of a high and mighty goddess.

Discovering Lu Yanran as the Six Realm member of the Lu family at Seeking Immortal Winery, Li Jing was genuinely surprised.

This woman was a treasure to the Lu family.

As long as Lu Yanran agreed, the Lu family could have a Six Realm son-in-law.

Marrying her out was impossible.

How could they possibly send off a Six Realm guard?

This kind of "treasure", the Lu family was actually willing to let her "entertain" a Six Realm Great Demon?

On the other side, Lu Yanran was extremely surprised to see Li Jing.

After the incident at the Liu Family’s banquet, Li Jing was now well-known.

As an unexpectedly extraordinary monster, his information had been thoroughly dug up by the Seven Great Families in these past ten days.

Apart from the Liu family who had investigated him earlier and the Jiang family influenced by Jiang Yini, the heads of the remaining five families have all gotten to know him and extended offers one after another.

Li Jing did not care about any of them, causing great dissatisfaction among the five families.

Previously, the five families would have likely used some force and even destroyed him if they couldn’t get him.

However, his background was too tough.

Unless necessary, none of the five families would carelessly provoke the madman Chen Jing.

Li Jing himself was quite insane.

Also, based on reliable information, he had just learned a forbidden technique from the Immortal Studies Research Association not long ago.

It’s not something that you can just bump into, you know.

Upon seeing Li Jing now, Lu Yanran feels doubly surprised. She turns her head and whispers to the Great Demon beside her.

"Chief Zhang, this kid is called Li Jing, a patroller. He’s a Fifth Boundary cultivator. He just learned Forbidden Skills a while ago."

"Forbidden Skills?"

A surprised expression appears on Chief Zhang’s face, which quickly turns to disdain. He snickers.

"Manager Lu, he probably doesn’t know much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come alone. But since we’ve been exposed, we need to evacuate immediately. Will you act personally, or shall I..."

Before he can finish speaking, a mundane voice interrupts.

"Lu Yanran, it is confirmed that the Lu family has conspired with the Demon Beast Union to plot an attack on Wang Youwei. You are a citizen of Hua Country. As a patrol officer of the Crime Investigation Sixth Team of the Jianghai City North City Branch, I formally urge you to surrender immediately."

All eyes drop as they hear this.

"Click!"

A flash goes off, blinding everyone.

Li Jing stands in the middle of everyone’s view as he slowly puts away his phone. Chief Zhang, feeling a little stunned, sees this.

He had just said that Li Jing didn’t know much, only to immediately get slapped in the face by the truth.

After which, he felt even more confused.

Since the secret has been fully exposed, why did the patrol bureau only send one Fifth Boundary patrol officer?

Lu Yanran herself was caught off guard by Li Jing’s words, and her mind went blank.

She didn’t understand.

Knowing who she is, why did Li Jing dare to confront her?

Was he overconfident?

In this Boundary space, outsiders can’t enter, and those within can’t leave.

Even if he voluntarily dispelled the space boundary, there was no chance that he could escape if she wanted to kill him.

Why did he feel so overconfident?

Simply because he learned Forbidden Skills?

Just how long has he been learning?

With his level of proficiency, how much power could he exert?

On her side, wouldn’t they just stand there and watch him perform Forbidden Skills?

As confused as she was, Lu Yanran’s expression gradually turned gloomy.

Li Jing’s arrival at the Seeking Immortal Winery made it impossible for him to leave alive, let alone now that he knew everything!

Without a word, Lu Yanran waved her hand and drew out a spirit sword.

Almost at the same time she made her move, the mundane voice sounded again.

"Linglong, Zhenshi."

With a hum, the Linglong Tower appeared above Li Jing’s head, transformed into a golden light that shot into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it magnified into a gold tower that stood at least a thousand feet tall, blocking out the sun.

Before anyone can respond.

"Boom!"

A loud noise.

The Linglong Tower enveloped the entire winery. Apart from Li Jing himself, everyone else was sealed inside.

The winery’s buildings were ground to dust in an instant.

Under a terrifying power of sealing, everyone was forced down to the ground.

Lu Yanran and Chief Zhang were only slightly affected, having only lost their Sky Control ability.

However, all the other demons, including six Fifth Boundary Big Monsters, were laying flat on the ground.

?

Lu Yanran.

??

Chief Zhang.

???

A bunch of monsters lying on the ground.

Li Jing was holding a Level 5 Spirit sword, how could he still have another one?

And this one, it’s even more terrifying than the sword he’s holding!

Are high-quality spirit tools that worthless?

What’s even more outrageous is.

Everyone trapped in the tower, including Lu Yanran and Chief Zhang, felt as if they were stuck in a swamp, while others could barely move on the ground.

It is understandable that a tower-like instrument has the power to seal.

But there’s no reason it could be so domineering!

This feeling, it was like the highest mystery of some kind of tower-type sealing...

An instantly cast mystery?

Holding a flying sword in shock and disbelief, Lu Yanran turns and says,

"Chief Zhang, this kid must have prepared in advance. I need you to quickly break this tower!"

The spirit sword in her hand was only Level 4.

Against a Level 5 spirit weapon, it fell far short.

It wouldn’t be destroyed upon impact.

But to say it could "counter-kill" a Level 5 Spirit weapon was totally impossible.

When faced with a Level 5 spirit weapon driven by the Great Perfection Control Objects Skill performing its ultimate mysteries, her best course of action was to avoid its sharp edge and not fight head-on.

The existence of the Control Objects Skill was never about controlling objects, but about enhancing the power of objects.

The higher the proficiency of the Control Objects Skill, the stronger the power of the object.

Under the arcane state, the power of the artifacts was pushed to the limit!

At this moment, Li Jing held the upper hand, and it would be very costly for Lu Yanran to break open the Linglong Tower, so she could only rely on Master Zhang.

Among those present, only Master Zhang, a Great Demon of the Six Realm, has the ability to forcibly break open a level five Spirit weapon in its arcane state based on his physical strength alone.

Over there, Master Zhang had also realized something was wrong by this time.

Li Jing, he was too supernatural!

It wouldn’t matter if only he and Lu Yanran were suppressed.

The two of them, as denizens of the Six Realm, hadn’t been greatly affected and could escape at any time.

The key issue was that the other demons from the Demon Beast Union were also sealed in the Linglong Tower. They couldn’t move a muscle and appeared to be utterly incapable of resisting!

Such a situation was more than just monstrous!

It was fine for the Fourth realm demons, which had no resisting power. But why did his Fifth Boundary subordinates become as weak as shrimps in the tower?

Theoretically.

Although a Fifth Boundary Big Monster might be inferior while facing a Spirit weapon used by a Fifth Boundary cultivator, it shouldn’t be this weak!

Upon hearing Lu Yanran’s voice, Master Zhang nodded his head, stomped heavily on the ground, then bellowed and dashed out like a cannonball, aiming straight for the body of the Linglong Tower.

Just as he was taking action, Li Jing, who was standing outside the tower, spoke in an indifferent voice.

"Linglong, Thousand Weight Method."

Before the sound of his voice had faded.

With a ’boom’ sound, the Linglong Tower sank down as a whole.

The charging Master Zhang felt as if a mountain that almost suffocated him was suddenly pressing down on him. He stumbled and fell headlong to the ground.

Lu Yanran, who was aware that she couldn’t forcibly use a spirit weapon, made a muffled ’hmph,’ and with a ’thud’ she knelt on the ground as blood spilled from her mouth and nose. Her skin, as smooth as mutton fat, cracked inch by inch, and she was covered with blood in the blink of an eye.

Struggling to support her body with her hand, Lu Yanran was both shocked and angry.

As a member of the Six Realm, she had been forced to kneel by a Fifth Boundary cultivator’s technique!

Not only did she kneel, but Li Jing had also easily caused her severe injuries!

Yes.

She hadn’t put up a defense.

But despite the gap in realm, how was it possible for Li Jing to harm her so easily?

In the midst of her combined shock and anger, Lu Yanran trembled again.

If she was severely injured, what about the other demons....

Lu Yanran suddenly lifted her eyes, and her face instantly turned pale.

At this moment, apart from her and Master Zhang, who was sprawled on the ground, where were the other demons in the tower?

What remained was only a pool of blood and bits of flesh on the ground.

"Li Jing! You deserve to die!"

With a hysterical shriek, Lu Yanran’s body erupted with boundless Spiritual Qi, forcefully resisting the heavy pressure of the Linglong Tower’s Thousand Weight Method, then stood up. Her cracked skin also healed in that instant.

On the other side, Master Zhang, who had fallen not far away, also erupted with a "pop" of demonic qi that soared into the sky. With a grim expression, he got up and sent a message through spiritual sense.

"Calm down, Director Lu. The sacrifice of a few underlings doesn’t matter. This kid is very supernatural, we need to be cautious. I’ll break the spirit weapon tower, you take care of him."

Upon receiving the message, Lu Yanran immediately responded with a "Yes" without hesitation. She began to prepare the spell formula.

Seeing this, Master Zhang moved his feet and with a "boom", he tore out a series of after-images and swiftly approached the boundaries of the Linglong Tower that enshrouded most of the winery. He gave a muffled roar and sent his fist out.

"Break for me!"

At the same time, Li Jing outside the tower calmly spoke.

"Linglong, Divine."

With his words, the Thousand Weight Method seamlessly adjusted inside the tower, switching into the defensively strong Divine Town, and the Linglong Tower radiated endless golden light.

"Boom!"

Master Zhang’s punch hit the wall of the Linglong Tower, causing the ground to tremble three times.

The Linglong Tower shook once, but it didn’t move at all.

?

Master Zhang, who had his fist pressed against the wall of the Linglong Tower, slowly asked a question.

???

Lu Yanran, who was waiting for him to break open the tower.

Did he stop it?

This...

Why is this?

Lu Yanran was completely stupefied.

Although Master Zhang’s punch doesn’t seem flashy, Wang Youwei died from such an ordinary punch... killed as simply as slaughtering a chicken...

Looking blankly at Li Jing outside the tower, Lu Yanran had a dumbfounded look on her face.

In just a few minutes, Li Jing had done so many impossible things.

She couldn’t understand.

How could a Fifth Boundary cultivator be so strong?

To the point that it left two Six Realm cultivators helpless?

What exactly was the deal with his Control Objects Skill?!

Lu Yanran wasn’t familiar with the tower type Control Objects Skill.

But she could vaguely sense that within a few short minutes, Li Jing had skipped the spell formula construction process and continuously executed the highest arcane of three different types of tower-type Control Objects Skill.

This was something that should be absolutely impossible!

All these impossibilities chilled Lu Yanran to the bone.

Master Zhang didn’t attempt any bold moves either. He stepped back slightly and looked at Li Jing outside the tower with surprise.

He had put almost all his strength into that punch just now.

Even if it’s a spirit weapon wielded by a Six Realm being, it should not stand completely still.

"Who... who exactly are you?"

Master Zhang spoke.

Outside of Linglong Tower, Li Jing gave a lopsided smile to answer him.

"A mere Painkiller."

As he spoke, he glanced regretfully at the pool of blood on the ground.

Linglong Tower’s full firepower as a level-five spirit weapon, with the boost of Divine Might, had been a bit overkill.

Zhenshi Skill, had effortlessly suppressed everyone, including Master Zhang and Lu Yanran.

The Thousand Weight Method had gravely injured Lu Yanran and crushed all the other monsters except for Master Zhang!

This round had cost him at least several tens of billions.

One must know, there were six Fifth Boundary Big Monsters in there...

But one must also appreciate the formidable power of the Linglong Tower.

Master Zhang’s punch had given him a clear feedback.

If not for the double boost of Divine Might, Linglong Tower - although impervious to being broken - would inevitably be moved out of its strategically strong position under the defense expertise of Divine Town’s Mystery status.

With a few more punches, it would likely topple over.

A genuine Sixth Realm Big Monster is indeed quite dreadful.

Its meaty strength can hammer a Fifth Realm Spirit Weapon in its state of mystery out of its advantageous position.

If a cultivator were to take a punch...

At this point, Li Jing was truly confident that Zhang was the Sixth Boundary Big Monster who had "torn apart" Wang Youwei.

Just as he was feeling astounded, the settlement prompt for which he had been waiting rang out.

"Experience Points +228732."

"Level up, 54. Spiritual Power Intensity +108, Skill Points +2."

"Level up, 55. Spiritual Power Intensity +110, Skill Points +2."

"Level up, 56. Spiritual Power Intensity +112, Skill Points +2."

"Level up, 57. Spiritual Power Intensity +114, Skill Points +2."

Five consecutive prompts flashed and Li Jing felt invigorated.

Six Fifth Boundary Big Monsters, along with thirty-six Fourth Realm monsters, had earned him a total of 228732 experience points.

Taking into account Sun Biao’s prior defeat, he had leveled up five times in a row.

Host: Li Jing

Experience Points: 6455/60673

Level: 57

Skill Points: 8

Spiritual Power Intensity: 3306

Lifebound Magic Instrument: Linglong (Spiritual Weapon Level 5 with 66%)

Equipment: Qingfeng (Spiritual Weapon Level 5 with 13%)

Passive Skills: Momentary Space

Active Skills: Heaven Sword Skill (5/5), Sky Eye Technique (5/5)

Limit Breakthrough (passive): Thunder Law, Divine Origin Unification, Divine Might

Limit Breakthrough (active): Wind King Mysterious Clothing, Shock Thunder Line, Spirit Soldier Break

Forbidden Skill: World Thunder Punishment (6/25)

Glancing at the information displayed on the panel, Li Jing furrowed his brow.

To level up again, he needed over sixty thousand experience points, and he had a surplus of just over six thousand.

It seemed he might not level up again this round.

While studying the panel, Lu Yanran ignored him and gave a snort.

"Li Jing! You do have some tricks up your sleeve! But in the end, you’re relying solely on this powerful spirit weapon! With this tower, you won’t be able to kill the both of us!"

Li Jing raised his eyes at her remark, looking at her silently.

This woman, as a Six Realm being, was rather useless.

The worst part was, she was self-important!

Not only did he give her the chance to surrender, but also the opportunity to preempt.

This was a chance Li Jing originally didn’t intend to provide.

But considering his position as a Painkiller, and the fact that none of their opponents had acted yet, coupled with Lu Yanran—a human—being among them, he needed to follow a "standard procedure".

As long as his own personal safety wasn’t threatened, a Painkiller had to issue appropriate warnings before taking action.

Having been given the opportunity, Lu Yanran delayed and didn’t attack the Painkiller; instead, she slowly showed off her spiritual weapon.

Perhaps the Six Realm beings of the Seven Big Houses were living too comfortably.

As for Master Zhang, he was no different.

Gazing at Master Zhang, who was squinting back at him with caution but no trace of fear, Li Jing decided to give all 8 skill points earned from the four-level boost to the World Thunder Punishment.

Next, he formed a handprint, casting the first spell of the World Thunder Punishment.

As soon as the handprint was formed, darkness quietly engulfed the entire subspace.

Clouds of darkness quietly gathered, covering the sky.

The heaven and earth of the subspace were plunged into endless darkness.

The wind picked up.

Clouds swirled.

The spiritual qi was roaring.

In the dark, it seemed as though some extremely horrifying will had been triggered, releasing boundless power that rendered the entire subspace incredibly oppressive, as if a formidable divine might had descended upon the world.
