With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal Chapter 168 - 157: Two Honorables Slay the Flood Dragon, Lig
Yin Tianshou’s dragon head soared to the sky, his spine standing erect like a blade.
His body erupted in a dark red halo, a myriad of reverse scales transford into a teor shower of fire toward the Jiao Demon.
Beside him, Yang Huan donned divine armor, with two sinister tiger heads descending from his shoulders gripping his chest.
He wielded the True Martial heavy halberd, suddenly unleashing thirty-three layers of celestial fiendish aura!
Attacking in unison with Yin Tianshou at the front, the halberd blade cleaved down, revealing the inverted imagery of the All Heaven Stars.
The twenty-eight constellation spirits roared in unison within the halberd’s light, shattering the undeveloped extinction demonic light on the Jiao Demon’s horn, scattering a thousand wailing souls.
The Jiao Demon’s sharp claws emitted an eerie dim light, the innate demonic qi spewed from its mouth collided at the eting point of halberd blade and dragon fla.
The mass of refined demonic qi exploded thunderously, the shockwave reducing the mist within a hundred miles into powder.
Seizing the opportunity, Yin Tianshou’s dragon claw tore open the Jiao Demon’s spine, viciously extracting its dull magic serpent tendon,
Yang Huan’s halberd light followed suit, grinding this vile tendon into dust.
With its main tendon severed, the Jiao Demon let out a painful howl that resonated through the clouds.
"Young ones, my true spirit roots are deeply buried within this realm’s wheel sea. When the Yellow Springs overflow and the world’s light and dark converge,
I shall awaken from the wheel sea, and by then this whole city of blood debt will beco my rebirth offering!"
"Noisy!"
Dragon claw and halberd light erupted simultaneously, the Jiao Demon’s remains bursting into countless blood foams.
"Let banish it!"
The Jiao Demon’s fragnts and blood beads were highly toxic; if spilled into the city below, not one living soul would survive.
Yang Huan waved his hand, conjuring a dazzling light of earth and sky from his sleeve, channeling the scattered fragnts and blood beads into the whirlpool of the void.
Monts later, the celestial phenonon and the two of them vanished without a trace.
On the ground, Long Jiu let out a long exhale of relief.
"It’s finally over..."
The fierce battle concluded, though the Jiao Demon’s rampage left Yong’an with imasurable losses tonight.
Fortunately, slaying the Jiao Demon ultimately was more important than anything.
In the distant west, there once was an ancient kingdom called Baron.
Back then, its power ranked among the world’s top ten, but the threat from the Demon Nest completely altered Baron’s fate.
At that ti, no one had reached the Great Saint level; a powerful great demon had escaped the Demon Nest and wreaked havoc in the human world, causing a monstrous calamity in Baron.
In the face of disaster, Baron exerted its entire national strength and engaged in an earth-shattering battle with the demon for nine days and nights.
Finally, at the cost of several Celestial Kings’ sacrifices, they managed to suppress the demon.
But it also left Baron greatly weakened, and its prosperity and splendor gradually faded.
Over the long history, the glory of the ancient kingdom of Baron gradually dimd, finally disappearing from the annals of history three hundred years ago.
Fortunately, the Great Chu is now at the peak of its national strength, even if its main body escapes, a Martial Arts Great Saint can co to suppress it.
After the battle, Long Jiu worried:
"But if it’s a creature from a life-forbidden zone that humans cannot handle, how would the Great Chu cope?"
"Kunlun Taihang..."
Long Jiu exhaled, knowing it wasn’t his concern.
If the sky falls, there will be soone tall to hold it; he only needs to guard Yong’an’s turf.
At this mont, several captains from the martial arts family within the police departnt gathered around him from all directions.
Long Jiu’s earpiece had turned to dust amidst the demonic light.
Liu Jinglong, as the captain, stepped forward from the crowd to report.
"Chief, all units at Chaoyang Mansion have completed their tasks to perfection.
We captured 268 remnants of the Demon Summoning Hall, eliminated 304, awaiting chief’s instructions for further actions."
Long Jiu inquired:
"What’s the casualty status of our people?"
Liu Jinglong responded solemnly:
"Five killed in action, six severely injured, including one martial artist captain, over forty slightly injured."
The strange thods of the Demon Path made sacrifices inevitable; no one could assure an absolutely flawless mission.
"What about the rest of the action groups?"
"The group capturing black market personnel at the casino has yet to report; they requested support just now but then canceled it. Chief, should we..."
Long Jiu calmly said:
"ng Chuan has the battle armor, so you can be assured. I chose him for this task, it is sure to be infallible."
The youngster’s strength was indeed formidable, and with the chief’s assurance, Liu Jinglong felt much more at ease.
"You stay behind to handle the post-battle condolence and conveyance of Demon Path remnants, while I report to the municipal overnight."
"Yes, sir!"
Long Jiu was also heavily injured, but tonight’s commotion was too big, so procedures had to be followed, and his injuries could only be tended to the next day.
...
Inside the casino.
Old Wu stood by, reporting the situation on-site to headquarters.
On the other end of the phone, Liu Jinglong chuckled:
[Your captain indeed has no problem, even defeating the Jiao Demon’s split soul.
It’s a great victory this ti, and we collected so many soul-nurturing items, I’ll petition the chief for your credit when you return.]
[One more thing, Captain Liu, we’ve also captured nearly fifty gamblers this ti; we need the departnt to send a few more transport vehicles.]
[No problem, I’ll notify the logistics team right away, they’ll be there within half an hour, well done everyone.]
Cracking down on gambling was a way to legally increase inco for the departnt, Liu Jinglong was in a jubilant mood.
anwhile, ng Chuan was chatting with the oil shop owner.
"Brother, trafficking with the enemy and conspiring with evil demons, you’re lighting a lamp in a latrine pit."
"Uuh! Uuh!"
"What?"
"Uuh!"
"Alright, the police van is arriving soon. Let’s not waste any more ti.
If there’s anything that can contribute to a reduced sentence, just tell promptly, and I’ll report it for you.
If you keep babbling, I’ll stuff that slly sock in your mouth."
Little Mustache nodded repeatedly, realizing that so external possessions were nothing compared to his life.
"Ugh... Sir, I still have a large box of Western Region’s spirit-enhancing items hidden in the shop.
And... and half a box of Esoteric Sect’s body-tempering oil to offer you, just to beg for a way out, sir!"
ng Chuan waved his hand; he wasn’t accepting bribes. Once the task was over, he was just a student.
The reason for bluffing this guy was because the more contraband seized during this mission, the more rit points he would earn.
Seeing ng Chuan wave, Little Mustache broke out in a cold sweat, assuming the other was dissatisfied.
He gritted his teeth and quickly said:
"Sir, are you cultivating an Esoteric Sect technique?"
ng Chuan remained silent.
Little Mustache regrettably said:
"There’s a secret compartnt behind the chair I usually sit on in the shop. You can find it by touching it.
Inside is a book of Esoteric Sect cultivation techniques that I received by chance, but I didn’t study it much due to my poor martial arts aptitude.
But I guarantee it’s top-notch! I planned to sell it for a good price.
Sadly, the Esoteric Sect’s techniques aren’t popular in Great Chu, so it’s just been wasting away in my hands."
"Oh? If you’re lying to , your end will be terrible."
ng Chuan pretended to threaten.
The small shop owner was too cunning, and it wasn’t ruled out that he was plotting against him.
"I wouldn’t dare, sir! I just want to survive!"
ng Chuan feigned agreent.
"Alright, if what you said is true, consider it contribution for your cri."
This wasn’t a lie; the spirit-enhancing items he hoarded were intended for trade with the Demon Summoning Hall.
This behavior was already enough to classify these spirit-enhancing items as enemy-supporting contraband.
And voluntarily confessing the hiding place of contraband was considered a ritorious act under Great Chu law.
"Esoteric Sect cultivation technique..."
Though it was contraband, he should also get a glimpse.
But ng Chuan didn’t have high hopes, expecting an ordinary vendor to produce world-class martial skills was unrealistic.
The sound of sirens rose and fell in the distance, and ng Chuan assisted the officers in escorting the criminals onto the vehicle.
He had already reported the items in Little Mustache’s store. There was no need for him to go personally, as the nearby station at Foreigner Street would send people to search.
Afterwards, he rode in the police car heading to the station; tonight’s matters were plentiful, making it unlikely for him to return ho for a rest.
In the police car, ng Chuan had a phone conversation with his uncle.
ng Yongzhi was also working overti at the station that night, sitting in the control center responsible for coordination and dispatch, naturally knowing that ng Chuan was also leading a team on a mission.
[Chuan’er, well done!]
ng Yongzhi praised, as ng Chuan’s bravery that night once again brought him great pride in front of his colleagues.
[Just the next ti you encounter this kind of ergency, don’t fight recklessly. Apply for reinforcents when needed, don’t show off.]
ng Chuan reluctantly agreed, though the monster was sinister, the armored suit made it helpless against him.
[Understood, Uncle.]
ng Yongzhi, knowing the station’s rules, continued:
[There’s nothing much here. Report the task’s completion, then tell and we’ll head ho together.]
[Okay.]
...
Yong’an Police Station Building.
The transport vehicle delivered the criminals to the detention center, and ng Chuan led his team to the office building.
Long Jiu wasn’t there; in the hall, Liu Jinglong was responsible for post-action statistics.
ng Chuan stood beside him and said aloud:
"Captain Liu, the casino operation was successful; all enemies were captured with no escapes."
Liu Jinglong laughed and said:
"Thanks for your hard work, everyone. Xiaowu already briefed on the situation on the way. Take a seat and rest for a mont, we’ll head to the eting room when everyone returns."
ng Chuan’s performance tonight lived up to Long Jiu’s expectations.
Facing an enemy transford into a Celestial Demon, they managed to directly confront and even subdue them.
This amazed Liu Jinglong; even with the support of battle armor, ordinary martial artists at the seventh level couldn’t even see the movents of a Jiao Demon, let alone defeat one.
ng Chuan was quietly looking forward to receiving abundant rewards this ti, greatly alleviating his financial struggles.
...
A mont later, all police forces returned in Perfection.
Inside the eting room.
Long Jiu wasn’t present, so Liu Jinglong took the leadership position.
Many of the officers t ng Chuan for the first ti and were greatly impressed after hearing about his exploits that night.
Confronting the vicious Demon Path martial artist, he ended with a physical confrontation against a Serpent Demon’s Split Soul!
The officers present no longer considered ng Chuan a student.
Instead, they placed him on equal, if not higher, footing.
"A martial arts prodigy, though not yet my equal, his youth is his biggest asset..."
Sitting at the head, Liu Jinglong, after watching the enforcent footage from the casino team, felt deeply moved.
Seeing it firsthand was truly shocking; in his youth, he was also considered a one-in-a-thousand martial arts prodigy.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have broken through the second great limit before reaching the age of destiny.
But compared with ng Chuan, it was only a matter of ti before he was surpassed.
He was certain that in the future, ng Chuan would beco a rising star in Great Chu’s martial arts realm!
