565: Chapter 14: One Hand_1 565: Chapter 14: One Hand_1 Ma Xiong, who had been dispatched to pursue and eradicate Hell Has No Door and had beco the core of the team just second to Yue Leng, was naturally not a weakling.
In fact, his standing among the four great holy towers was unshakable, and his realm was not inferior to that of Zheng Shi.
He noticed sothing was amiss the mont the shadow stirred.
He exclaid, “Good, you’ve co!”
And imdiately stomped his foot down toward that hand.
He was not afraid of those Hell Has No Door rats coming after him; he was afraid they would hide and waste his ti.
To conceal their tracks, Hell Has No Door, after fleeing Linzi, chose to disperse and escape, hoping to catch Beiyaduwei off guard and ensure that most of their mbers could break out of Qi Country.
They never expected Qi Country to react so vehently, to the point of sealing its borders to capture and kill them.
Sealing the borders was no small matter.
The first thing Qi Mieyang did was to seal the Yang realm, which showed the gravity of the situation.
Yet, when Zheng Shi attempted to assassinate Zhao Xuan at Xiao Lianqiao, even the power to close all the gates of Linzi was beyond his reach.
The reason for such a miscalculation was that Hell Has No Door thought they had rely killed a defector from the Yang realm.
Though the Qi Ting was furious, they shouldn’t have put forth such standards for the sake of an Assassin Organization.
But in Emperor Qi’s view, the Xiao Lianqiao incident signified a challenge to the dignity of Qi Country!
He demanded soone be held accountable for it.
For Zheng Shi, this was his only chance to make ands for his past wrongs, and he could not afford not to go all out.
That’s why he even managed to call Yue Leng out of retirent.
Under the relentless search of the chasing team, how much fighting power could Hell Has No Door muster in Bei County at this mont?
Ma Xiong didn’t believe that all nine of Hell Has No Door’s remaining Yamas could be here.
Even if they were all here, he believed he could hold on until Qing brand catcher Yue Leng ca to reinforce him.
Because before he counterattacked, he had already sent a ssage to Yue Leng, who had since turned back.
Yue Leng hadn’t been gone long.
How much ti would it take for a God Arrives powerhouse to return at full speed?
Thirty breaths?
Twenty breaths?
Ma Xiong did not believe that they, four Grade-4 Outer Building Environnt Qing brand catchers, each hardened by bloody battles, could be broken in less than thirty breaths!
Therefore, facing the assault, his first thought was—Hell Has No Door is courting death!
His foot stomped down, and the hand within the shadow swiftly retracted.
At the sa ti, a figure rose from the shadow behind an Inner Mansion Realm Qing brand catcher.
It was Wang the Coroner, wearing a pitch-black Yama Mask, leaping forth and reaching straight for his heart.
Equally silent.
But Ma Xiong was not the only Outer Building Environnt Qing brand catcher here.
Almost simultaneously with Ma Xiong’s cry, the other three Outer Building Environnt powerhouses took action as well.
One said, “Sneaking around, concealing your traces, your cri shall be branding!”
Before Wang the Coroner, a carving knife suddenly appeared, aiming to pierce his mask and carve a mark on his face that represented his cris!
Another said, “Trespassing on critical grounds without authority, your cri shall be hamstringing!”
Wang the Coroner’s legs tensed, unable to move.
A sharp knife seed to form from thin air, ready to gouge out his kneecaps.
And yet another cold and cruel voice stated, “Escaping from the law, scheming atrocities, your cri shall be castration!”
Wang the Coroner felt a chill in his lower half as a small knife appeared at his privates.
These Outer Building Environnt Qing brand catchers were all disciples of the Legalists, and their practiced techniques were the ancient Five Punishnts.
Ma Xiong stood out even among them.
After missing his foot stomp, he stood up straight and pointed at Wang the Coroner, “Ignorant criminals, you dare to assassinate a Qi Country official, an unforgivable cri; you shall be punished with the greatest penalty!”
The ancient Five Punishnts: branding, nose slicing, castration, hamstringing…
beheading!
In the void, it seed as if a guillotine blade had fallen.
Wang the Coroner’s head flew off completely!
Only after his mask shattered did a black “Thief” character appear on his face, signifying he had received the branding punishnt for theft.
At the sa mont, his kneecaps were gouged out completely, his legs buckled, and he was unable to stand.
And between his legs, blood was already gushing.
Wang the Coroner, a formidable force of Hell Has No Door, suffered four of the ancient Five Punishnts and died instantly!
All the arrest officers at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Jiang Wang remained tensely vigilant.
He had seen Wang the Coroner, experienced his imposing presence in person.
How could such a man have died so easily?
Just as Wang the Coroner suffered the four punishnts, his body severed and collapsing, a long-haired figure descended from the sky.
He appeared to plumt unexpectedly from the sun, unseen until that very mont.
And as soon as he entered the field of view, he was already close at hand.
His landing spot was the living room!
It was the living room where King Tai Shan was imprisoned!
Boom!
The entire roof was shattered, and the temporary formation set up in the living room was smashed on the spot by his fist, wrapped in a green light.
Then Jiang Wang heard King Tai Shan’s terrified voice, “King of Qin Guang!
I didn’t say anything!
I didn’t say anything!”
The whole living room collapsed with the descent of King of Qin Guang from Hell Has No Door.
Amid falling rocks and broken tiles, King Tai Shan of Hell Has No Door lay on the ground, desperately moving backward.
After a whole night of tornt, he was now extrely weak, but his voice was pitiful, stirring emotions.
Yin Guan, who soared down, rely glanced at him indifferently before pressing down with his palm!
In an instant, flesh turned to mud!
Yin Guan had taken the risk to co, but not to save anyone; he was there to silence!
“You’re asking for death!”
Filled with rage, Ma Xiong once again invoked the great execution.
“Die how?” Wang the Coroner’s bloodied and blurry head suddenly turned towards him, his eyes rolling to focus on him.
Ma Xiong paused because of this.
The Qing brand catcher from the External Building Environnt, executing the penalty of bone removal, stepped forward, drew his waist knife, and bisected that head.
By that ti, Yin Guan had already turned into a streak of green light, shooting into the distant sky.
Ma Xiong looked back at the two halves of Wang the Coroner’s head, only to see them “lting” away like snow ets the blazing sun.
What remained of Wang the Coroner’s “body” also began to dissipate.
Only at this point did a figure shoot rapidly from the horizon.
Yue Leng, with his power fully unleashed, descended into the courtyard, only to see ruins, a pool of mush.
Jiang Wang did not know that Yue Leng had already made arrangents for such a scenario.
He might even have deliberately left, to create an “opportunity” for Hell Has No Door.
His arrangents were twofold, one involved King Tai Shan and the other Ma Xiong.
The direct killing of King Tai Shan by Yin Guan, however, turned his backup plan into a re display.
But as long as Ma Xiong and the others, following his plans, could delay just a bit longer, he would still be able to capture the leader of Hell Has No Door in one fell swoop.
Yet, even though they were equally at the peak of the External Building Environnt and stood together as four of the Holy Towers, outnumbering their opponents four to two, they couldn’t even hold out for twenty breaths before Yin Guan departed with a flourish!
Yue Leng was silent for a while and finally said nothing.
However, this silent reproach was even more painful than a slap to the face!
It was foreseeable that, in the following missions, Ma Xiong and the others had already lost the trust of the god of arrest.
Ma Xiong looked back with an unsightly expression, where in his shadow, a pale hand lay quietly on the ground.
Wang the Coroner’s hand!
For a cultivator, injuries like severed limbs would deplete vitality, but could be reattached.
The precondition was…
the limb still had to be present.
Simple illusions or puppetry could not deceive the experienced Grade-4 Qing brand catchers.
So, Wang the Coroner had truly appeared and truly left behind his hand, which managed to draw their imdiate attack and create the opportunity for Yin Guan to deliver a fatal blow to King Tai Shan.
King of Qin Guang possessed daring courage and very clear objectives.
Even though Yue Leng saw himself as the best “Fisherman,” he had to admit that this was a fish of great courage and exceptional cunning.
It had successfully bitten the bait but escaped from the hook!
