If something was obvious enough for a Sequence 7 like Yin Yang to notice, the other transcendents in Huangshan City naturally noticed it as well.
Inside Huangshan City University, several teachers looked toward the Lyu family manor simultaneously.
“Who did the Lyu family offend this time? They’re actually using a sealed object to blockade the mountain.”
“Do we really have that many sealed objects in Huangshan City? I heard the Lyu family lost one not long ago.”
“That is a sealed object from the Security Bureau.”
A slightly aged voice sounded from behind them. Everyone turned to see the principal walking out.
“Principal.”
“Principal.”
The group bowed in greeting. Their principal held a very high status in the academic world; otherwise, he wouldn't have been the principal of one of the four prestigious universities.
“Principal, that’s a Security Bureau sealed object?”
“Yes. It’s the Huangshan City sealed object, Boil Mountain.”
“If the Security Bureau is involved, it seems a cult is targeting the Lyu family.”
“Principal, do we need to prepare anything in advance?”
The old principal narrowed his eyes as he looked toward the Lyu family manor. After a few seconds, he shook his head.
“The one taking action is the Bureau Chief. Don't worry, everything will be fine.”
Hearing this, the teachers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They weren't worried about themselves, but about the students. Battles between Demigods were often destructive. If an stray attack hit the school and killed some students, how would they explain it to the parents?
One teacher hesitated before speaking. “Principal, can the Bureau Chief handle it alone?”
The old principal turned back toward the office building.
“Don't worry. If there’s something in Huangshan City that even he can't solve, then I can't solve it either.”
The teachers were stirred by his words. They knew their principal's strength all too well.
To think that the Bureau Chief, who usually had almost no presence in Huangshan City, was actually on par with their principal?
...
At the Command Center.
The City Lord frowned as he looked toward the Lyu family.
“This Lyu family causes a commotion every few days. Are they afraid people might actually think Huangshan City has good public security?”
“Even a lazy bum like Xia Yitiao has shown his face. It seems the enemy is quite troublesome this time.”
“Da Di.”
“Dad!”
A burly man on the sofa stood up. He was over three meters tall, his muscles bulging. One look at his physique was enough to identify his pathway.
“Go help out.”
“Got it.”
“Be careful.”
“I know.”
“I said be careful of my door!”
“...Understood.”
Da Di walked out of the office cautiously. To accommodate him, every door he needed to pass through in the Huangshan City Command Center had been modified.
After all, a normal door was only about two meters high, and it was difficult for him to enter without causing damage. Even so, he had accidentally broken many doors, which was why the City Lord made a point of mentioning it.
After stepping out of the Command Center, Da Di took to the skies.
When he arrived at the Lyu family manor, he saw the Bureau Chief drinking goji berry water. Xia Yitiao smiled when he saw him.
“Oh, Da Di is here too? Tsk tsk, the City Lord really is willing to part with his treasures.”
Da Di bowed and greeted him. “Uncle Xia.”
“Yes, yes, what a polite boy.”
Xia Yitiao chuckled, then turned to Jade Dog. “This is a Demigod of the Strongman pathway, the Overlord, Da Di!”
“With his help, what do you think?”
Jade Dog sized Da Di up. “How is your strength?”
Da Di clenched his fists. “What is the unit of measurement?”
“Me. How do you compare?”
“How many of you?”
Hearing this, even Xia Yitiao couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing that Jade Dog and Red Fox didn't look too pleased, he stepped in to smooth things over.
“Now, now, don't worry. Da Di is very strong. He’s the City Lord’s pride and joy. Being allowed out to help is already quite something. I reckon this is all the manpower we’re getting.”
“So? Are you going in?”
“If you don't go in now, Lyu Xiaofeng might be beaten to death in a moment. If that happens, you’ll lose another helper.”
After a brief moment of reflection, Jade Dog said, “We’re going!”
“Good.”
Xia Yitiao agreed and drew a circle with one hand. A hole immediately appeared in the water curtain.
Jade Dog and Red Fox exchanged a look and flew toward the hole together. Seeing this, Da Di followed, but just as he was about to pass through, Xia Yitiao called out to him.
“Silly boy, don't charge in too hard, okay? Fight if you can, but if you can't win, just run.”
“You’re not on the payroll, so you have no official responsibility, understand?”
“I got it, Uncle Xia.”
Da Di then followed the other two. At such a close distance, the other two naturally heard those words. They were speechless, wondering how the legendary Crime-Buster could be so unreliable now.
...
“Heh, Enchantress, the Security Bureau’s reinforcements are here. I’ll see how much longer you can last!”
Lyu Xiaofeng wiped the blood from his nose, a savage grin on his face.
The Black Death Lolita looked up, her voice cold. “I don't know how much longer I’ll live, but looking at your current state, you have seventeen minutes left at most.”
“If you maintain this intensity of combat, you have six minutes at most.”
As she spoke, her divinity exploded, surging into the gourd above her head.
The next moment, a blackish-purple mist erupted, blotting out the sun and covering the entire hilltop.
Hum—
A barrier instantly rose around the Lyu manor, blocking the mist. However, the barrier was being constantly corroded and could only be repaired with great effort.
At this rate, the barrier likely wouldn't last more than half an hour.
Boom!!!
A figure pierced through the mist and smashed into the ground. The powerful impact kicked up a wave of debris, creating a vacuum around the landing site.
The Demigod Da Di, his muscles coiled like iron, threw a ferocious punch forward.
“Mountain Splitter!”
Whoosh!
His right fist seemed to fire an air cannon, instantly tearing through the mist and whistling toward the Black Death Lolita.
Faced with an attack of this intensity, the Black Death Lolita could only dodge.
Taking to the air now would make her an even more obvious target, so she chose to dash to the right.
But the moment she made her move, a cold voice rang out.
“Imprison!”
Chains materialized out of thin air, coiling toward her.
The speaker was Jade Dog, a Sequence 5 of the Ward Guard pathway—a Court Director!
Because she had to dodge the chains, the Black Death Lolita’s movements slowed for a fraction of a second, and she was struck by the air cannon.
Even though it was only a glancing blow, she was sent flying like a ragdoll, tumbling several times before slamming into the ground.
“Rapid-Fire Strikes!!!”
Da Di roared, his hands moving in a blur. One air cannon after another tore through the mist, bombarding the Black Death Lolita on the ground.
“Submit to the Law!”
Jade Dog acted in coordination, his chains slithering like venomous snakes toward her.
Lyu Xiaofeng, a veteran of many battles, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
He immediately channeled his divinity, causing his phantom to hurl a finishing sword strike!
