Chapter 181: [158] Those who offend me shall be almost completely annihilated! (Thanks to the white dove of sunshine for the reward support)_1
“Seeking death!”
Xu Tian cursed in fury, his vitality fully unleashed.
Previously, his repeated failures to complete his missions had already caused dissatisfaction from the Judgement Place. Now, someone even dared to chase and cut off one of his arms in Da Peng City!
And now, they had the audacity to attempt assassination!
This great humiliation had long caused a stifling frustration within him, but he had been waiting for the latest model of prosthetic limb to come out; up until now, he had been living with his tail tucked between his legs.
His ability was Light Slash, which involved bursting forth with power from his physical body… but having lost an arm and replaced it with a prosthetic, his strength had suffered a significant discount.
After all, a prosthetic limb couldn’t activate his ability!
The latest model was out!
However, what he hadn’t expected was that, just as he stretched out his left hand to block the opponent’s knife,
the distance between him and his foe rapidly closed to less than a foot.
They were practically face to face.
The blood energy rising from the enemy’s body began to boil furiously, whipping up heat waves that almost suffocated him, making it hard to breathe.
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”
Xu Tian cursed frantically in his mind.
He didn’t dare to hesitate, and the golden light in his hand immediately shot out.
But things didn’t play out as he had anticipated.
At such close range,
his golden light failed to slash through the enemy’s body as he had guessed it would; it seemed as if there was a special magnetic field surrounding the opponent.
It hindered 99% of his attack.
The final 1% that landed on the opponent did absolutely no damage.
“Is this even a human!!!”
“I don’t believe this!”
“Purify!”
Xu Tian yelled furiously.
A visible ring of shockwave burst forth from his mouth like a wave, rushing towards the mysterious person in front of him.
The shockwave directly shattered the sealing of the Three Dimensional Barrier.
This was somewhat unexpected for Pei Jinye.
The Purify ability of the Judgement Place was this powerful?
But it seemed that he had no recollection of this aspect… after he devoured Xu Tian, he hadn’t gained anything from it.
Thinking all this, Pei Jinye developed an intuitive understanding of the abilities of the Judgement Place.
Very powerful!
And very mysterious!
But that did not hinder his determination to get rid of Xu Tian at this moment!
With an eruption of blood energy,
his palm forcefully pushed forward, accompanied by a thunder-like muffled explosion.
Bang!
In an instant, both palms collided.
The terrifying power clash created a blast that immediately spread from the center of their contact, dispersing in all directions.
This blast was but a momentary outburst.
Immediately after, both parties attacked each other with the utmost speed.
Both formidable forces, hysterical in their ultimate power, crushed against each other.
It was evident that since the last assassination attempt, Xu Tian, a Judge from the Central Continent Judgement Office, was genuinely afraid of losing his life again.
Therefore, he spared no expense in mastering a secret technique that could unleash his limits explosively in a short period.
The two confronted each other, and the white blasts of air that erupted seemed to divide everything around them into two distinct parts.
But in the next moment.
Two blood lotuses appeared above Pei Jinye’s head, and his aura climbed another level. He overwhelmed the scene with his superior strength, and the terrifying air wave he carried surged rapidly towards where Xu Tian stood, steamrolling over.
Xu Tian was completely dumbfounded.
Blood, blood lotuses?
Two enormous blood lotuses arose, presenting an incredibly heart-stopping sight.
Crack crack crack!
In an instant, Xu Tian didn’t even have time to react before all the bones in his body started cracking under the strain of Pei Jinye’s outburst.
His newly acquired prosthetics made from the latest materials were crushed like scrap metal under the weight of tens of tons.
Under such a sudden and explosive force, the air wave was like a tidal wave… At this moment, Xu Tian’s body was like a tiny boat under the raging sea, violently blown backwards.
But before he even hit the ground.
Mid-air, a figure flashed into existence in front of him, and a large hand pressed against his face.
Xu Tian heard the last two words he would in this world—
“Enter dream!”
A torrent of memories surged back, scorching hot!
The memories reset with one additional detail.
Just a pity…
Xu Tian had no new traces in his memory regarding “purification.”
Pei Jinye even thought…
Perhaps, the memories he had not inherited were far more than just purification.
On closer reflection.
Whether it was Zhao Qianfeng or Xu Tian, almost zero memories regarding the deeper aspects of the Judgement Place were preserved.
Had the other party directly cut off those related memories?
What kind of technique was this?
However, what Pei Jinye found amusing was…
It turned out that today Yang Qingdan had also been in contact with Xu Tian.
Otherwise…
Pei Jinye squatted in front of Xu Tian’s body, searching through it and also thoughtfully pondering something.
He then extended a finger, and with a “whoosh,” flames devoured the corpse before him.
“Is this the Night Patrol Department? A car accident occurred on Sanhe Road…”
“Mr. Xu, I really can’t thank you enough…” Qiu Hezi quickly stepped forward to shake hands when he saw “Xu Tian” appear.
However, he was blocked by “Xu Tian” reaching out with a gloved hand.
Qiu Hezi’s outstretched hand immediately froze in mid-air, which didn’t go unnoticed by members of the Investigation Team, leading them to have various thoughts.
“What do you need me to look at?” “Xu Tian” asked calmly, looking at the marked traces on the ground: “Isn’t it obvious, someone incinerated the body to clean up the scene.”
Qiu Hezi withdrew his hand, not feeling embarrassed, and said with a smile, “We all know that, but the murderer is very experienced, and now all traces of blood have been cleaned up. We can’t determine who the body in this room belongs to. So, we would like to ask for your help to use your abilities to track down.”
“Xu Tian” looked around.
Qiu Hezi leaned in and whispered, “Just like how doctors at the hospital often go out to make extra money with their scalpel skills, we have an unwritten rule here too. If Mr. Xu takes action, I’ll compensate you with 300,000 at the market rate.”
“Don’t go through my official account, give me an anonymous account,” “Xu Tian” replied indifferently.
“Mr. Xu is indeed a man of principle,” Qiu Hezi complimented.
“When I start, all of you, including you, go out… I hope you can understand,” “Xu Tian” said unapologetically.
Qiu Hezi paused: “Of course, I have that much trust in Mr. Xu. So… now?”
“I hope that by the time I’m done, the things I’m owed have been deposited into my account.”
“Of course.”
Members of the Investigation Team, under the leadership of Captain Qiu, left, and although some were reluctant, they didn’t dare to question the authority of Qiu Hezi, the acting captain.
Moreover, Captain Qiu had promised that if they solved the case… each person would receive at least a Third Class Merit!
After the door closed.
“Mr. Xu,” said flatly, “Captain Qiu isn’t secretly spying on us, is he?”
Qiu Hezi coughed awkwardly and cursed inwardly, though without showing it on his face, “Of course, we will only come in when Mr. Xu calls for us.”
Mr. Xu didn’t respond.
In fact, it was Pei Jinye who didn’t respond.
Taking Xu Tian’s place was a part of the plan.
He was accustomed to using the abilities of the woman, Yang Qingdan, and naturally didn’t want to miss out.
Therefore, Xu Tian couldn’t die just yet.
With Teacher Chang watching like a hawk, Pei Jinye didn’t dare to show his face, for fear of being killed on sight.
He was relying on these pawns to significantly deplete resources for him, so he could reap the benefits like a fisherman.
As for the techniques from the Judgement Place that Captain Qiu was looking forward to…
Unfortunately, Pei Jinye didn’t know them.
But Pei Jinye wasn’t panicked at all.
After all, he was the one who had committed the murder.
As long as he left behind a bit of “his own” “clues” with plausible reasons, he’d make a clean 300,000 banknotes.
Besides, he was no stranger to making others take the fall for his actions.
The last time that someone had performed very well.
Meanwhile, Captain Qiu was studying the traces mentioned by Mr. Xu with his team.
He had already sent people to track them down.
Some members of the Investigation Team were clearly not convinced by the arrogant Mr. Xu from the Judges.
But after less than five minutes.
The group received a clear message—
[Confirmed, the suspect is a former member of Heaven God International, Gu Shaoshang. He was seen here before Chief Xie arrived… It can be basically determined that he killed Chief Xie!]
Everyone was shocked.
“This Gu Shaoshang is getting bolder and bolder!”
“Could it be because we pursued him last time that he’s seeking revenge?”
“It’s not impossible!”
“Issue a citywide warrant for Gu Shaoshang! Quick!”
“Mr. Xu,” said Qiu Hezi with all seriousness, “thank you for your efforts this time.”
Mr. Xu feigned nonchalance, “Since it’s settled, then my job here is done.”
He left without a word of thanks.
Many members of the Investigation Team were angry and frustrated.
“What’s with his arrogance!”
“Damn, I really want to punch him!”
Watching Mr. Xu leave, Captain Qiu slowly withdrew his gaze and, seeing the indignant young team members beside him, chuckled softly, “Alright, don’t be mad. After all, he is from the Judges. He isn’t an ordinary person, and geniuses do tend to be a little different from the rest of us.”
Ten kilometers away.
A strange young man looked up at the sky.
“What a busy day.”
Shortly after.
East Street.
Pei Jinye had already changed back into his true appearance, carrying a parcel in his hand.
In the office.
The elders were checking the data.
Seeing Pei Jinye, both Father Pei and Mother Pei were surprised, “You’re off work so early today?”
“Just came to check in,” Pei Jinye said with a smile, putting the parcel down, “A friend sent me some cultivation materials. Dad, take them home for me later, but keep it quiet to avoid thieves.”
Of course, Pei Jinye wouldn’t admit that this friend was “Jiang family.”
He left enough treasure medicine for personal use and secretly sent the rest home, valued at millions.
Such occurrences would only become routine in the future.
After all, with such a generous friend, not to take full advantage would be to do his generosity a disservice.
At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared at the door.
“Old Pei…”
He called out to Father Pei enthusiastically.
Father Pei looked up and saw him, at least appearing very enthusiastic, “Old Jin, you’re here.”
“This is…” Old Jin paused as he noticed Pei Jinye.
“My son, Pei Jinye. Jinye, say hello to your uncle,” Father Pei introduced with a smile.
Pei Jinye looked over calmly and placed his hand on the man’s shoulder, instantly hypnotizing him, “Tell me, what have you been up to recently?”
“I want to drive out Old Pei’s family,” said Old Jin woodenly.
Pei Jinye took his hand off and turned to look at Mother Pei and Father Pei.
The elders were stunned.
“This…”
Old Jin rubbed his head, feeling dizzy, “Old Pei, I think there’s something wrong…”
“Jinye, was what he just said true?” Mother Pei interrupted.
Pei Jinye nodded and pressed down with his hand again, “Old Pei has been so good to you, why do you want to drive him away?”
“I heard that he’s making tens of thousands a month now. Why should I let him monopolize the business? If it were me, I would do it better than him!”
Pei Jinye let go, looking back at the elders.
Old Jin once more touched his head, “Is it a low sugar issue?”
“Get out!”
There was Mother Pei’s voice, suddenly ringing out.
Before Old Jin could comprehend what happened, Mother Pei chased him out the door with a broom.
From start to finish, he didn’t understand why the family of three looked at him as if he were their enemy.
Damn, did someone betray me?
“Sun San, I’ve got a job for you, make it quick. I don’t want to see his family’s faces in Da Peng City anymore,” said Pei Jinye as he hung up the phone.
Sun San hesitated for a moment.
But it seemed that Brother Pei meant… to get rid of him for good?
