On the distant mountain, Yin Yang danced with wild abandon.
“This Lyu family is truly a major clan. That Demigod’s strength is almost on par with Su Baadao’s, isn't it?”
By now, Yin Yang had seen quite a few Demigods, and more than one or two had even died at his hands.
This gave him a very clear understanding of how distinct the gap between Demigods could be.
Su Baadao could be considered in a league of his own among Demigods!
Even though they were all Demigods, he killed others as easily as one would slaughter a chicken.
And now, this Lyu Xiaofeng was also a top-tier existence among Demigods!
If it were an ordinary enemy, the battle would have likely ended by now.
However, those three Demigods from the Idealist Society were equally formidable.
That being said, the scales of victory were slowly tipping.
A powerful Demigod wielding a sealed object possessed overwhelming suppression!
Just as Lyu Xiaofeng was about to deliver a killing blow, two more Demigods rushed out.
The bald man spat on the ground.
“Damn it! I thought you lot were planning to wait until we were dead before making your move.”
Neither of the two new Demigods wasted words; they opened with lethal strikes!
With an incident this large, the Security Bureau would certainly not sit idly by.
The Demigods of the Security Bureau were different from poor wretches like them—they could actually use sealed objects!
But this opportunity was simply too good to pass up!
Initially, they had come to capture the masked man to exchange him for a sealed object.
They hadn't expected the Idealist Society to show up as well and clash with the Lyu family.
To them, this was a godsend.
Lyu Xiaofeng was tied down by three Demigods and had no time to defend. Fortunately, the gold-masked man was there. His giant-like body stood before Lyu Xiaofeng, intercepting the attacks for him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
More and more people charged into the Lyu family estate.
Seeing this, Lyu Xiaofeng roared.
“Open fire!!!”
The moment he spoke, guards armed with guns stood up from hidden corners of the estate.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rat-tat-tat!
Bullets poured down like a curtain of rain, and over a dozen transcendents were killed instantly.
The skinny bald man laughed maniacally at the sight.
“Hahaha! Damn it, does any old riffraff think they can just come out and find a hidden gem?”
“Cough, cough, cough!”
As he spoke, he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.
Realizing his condition was poor, he quickly disengaged from the fight and rushed toward a corpse.
Er Niang and Wei Yu were already familiar with this and naturally stepped up to take his place.
However, they had struggled even when it was three against one earlier. Now that it was two against one, how could they hold on?
In just a single exchange, their injuries worsened.
But it was all worth it, because the bald man’s pathway was the Criminal pathway’s Sequence 5—【Evil】!
The Criminal pathway was very special. At Sequence 6, 【Treacherous】, one would awaken different abilities based on different crimes.
Back then, Black Feather and White Feather were arsonists and could control flames to a certain extent.
And when he was at Sequence 6, he was an 【Ogre】!
He reached the corpse and began to gorge himself!
With just a few bites, he swallowed the corpse whole.
Streaks of black-red mist surged from his wounds, and his injuries began to heal at a visible rate.
Wooo wooo wooo~
He wept as he ate the corpse, and more and more black-red mist gathered, swirling toward Lyu Xiaofeng.
Facing this substance of unknown effect, Lyu Xiaofeng instinctively dodged, but he didn't expect to fall into a trap.
From the very beginning, the mist’s target wasn't him, but Er Niang and Wei Yu!
Wooo wooo wooo~
After a period of wailing and sobbing, the injuries on both of them were fully healed, and even their spirituality had recovered somewhat.
“Heh heh heh~”
“Lyu Xiaofeng, I hope your Lyu family can still remain intact after today~”
Fine scales began to grow on Wei Yu’s body as his massive centipede form took flight. His legs, like rows of scythes, coiled toward Lyu Xiaofeng.
Boom!!!
Another bolt of lightning fell from the sky, its landing point exactly where Wei Yu was headed.
Offense was the best defense!
If Wei Yu didn't pull back, he would be struck by the heavenly lightning. He was forced to give up his attack.
In a battle against an opponent of Lyu Xiaofeng’s caliber, a moment of bodily paralysis meant death was imminent.
But to everyone’s surprise, a dramatic scene unfolded.
The lightning bolt took a turn mid-air and actually struck Lyu Xiaofeng!
Although Lyu Xiaofeng was unprepared, he was a Myriad-Slayer after all. The moment the lightning fell, he made a defensive move. The phantom behind him raised its giant greatsword, blocking the lightning like a shield.
“Hahahaha~”
“It seems the oath you swore back then has finally come true. You’re being struck by lightning!”
Wei Yu naturally wouldn't miss such a golden opportunity, and his strikes became increasingly ferocious.
Yet, even without the sealed object’s full cooperation, he was still no match for Lyu Xiaofeng.
However, Lyu Xiaofeng’s expression grew more and more grave because he realized the sealed object in his hand was actually resisting him!
This sensation filled him with alarm.
This sealed object had been in his hands for decades. To put it bluntly, he was more familiar with this object than he was with his own wife.
In all those decades, nothing like this had ever happened.
He keenly sensed that someone was tampering with his sealed object!
Boom!!!
On the other side, the gold-masked man had already killed a Demigod. Just as the opponent’s divinity was about to dissipate, the skinny bald man lunged forward to feast on the Demigod’s corpse.
Seeing this, the gold-masked man delivered a kick.
Whatever the enemy wanted to do, he had to stop it!
Rat-tat-tat!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Lyu family guards were still firing. Aside from Demigods, no one could survive such a dense hail of bullets.
But at that moment, the 'masked man' appeared out of thin air once again!
This time, with no Demigod to block it, it charged straight into the interior of the villa.
Seeing this, Er Niang covered her mouth and giggled.
“Interesting, very interesting. Someone has broken into your old nest. I wonder if he plans to seek revenge or just start a massacre?”
Lyu Xiaofeng’s expression became even uglier.
...
Security Bureau.
Hearing his subordinate’s report, the Bureau Chief rubbed his temples.
“Can't they just behave for once? I’m already about to retire, yet they still have to stir up such an intense mess.”
“Fortunately, I’ve already reported to the higher-ups. Just some cultists, it’s no big deal.”
“Mhm, have Captain Liu come back. I’ll go borrow a sealed object from Uncle Guo and have him take it to the Lyu family to help out. Remember, safety first.”
Hearing this, the subordinate looked up in surprise.
“Chief, you aren't going?”
“Why the hell would I go? Do you think I worked so hard to climb up to this position just to go out and fight criminals?”
“Huh?”
“Huh what! I’m almost retired. It’s bad luck to go to those dangerous places right now, don't you know that?”
“Oh.”
The Chief picked up his teacup and took a sip, then let out a long sigh.
“Besides, the Lyu family is so powerful. Even without our Security Bureau, they won't suffer a loss, right?”
