Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 466 Enforcement Team

What is this unexpected windfall? It's clearly the killing of the two people who flew in.

Ji An remained silent. His relationship with Yuan Hong wasn't that good yet. Was it polite to discuss murder so openly?

"Help!"

The female cultivator's panicked voice came from less than a hundred feet away from the cliff.

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business," the cultivator chasing after them said with a fierce look.

Ji An felt a sense of absurdity; this was far too crude!
They dared to rush up without even knowing what cultivation level the three of them possessed. Are Tribulation Cultivators really this arrogant these days?

The Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner flew out of his dantian with his thoughts, its warm yellow spiritual light protecting his whole body, and golden flowers rippled all around.

At the same time, the hand seals in his hands changed to release the Mixed Gold Armor Technique.

A dark golden luster shimmered on the skin's surface, and ancient, mysterious patterns appeared and then quickly disappeared.

Yuan Hong's eyes flashed with solemnity. He could sense the power of a top-grade spiritual artifact, and an extremely powerful one at that.

Ji An retreated to Zhang Le's side; now was the time for them to unite against a common enemy.

He only summoned the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner because he had two allies who made a living by hunting demons, so he didn't feel the need to charge into battle.

Yuan Hong summoned his magical weapon, a massive, fiery black hammer, and roared:
"Get out of here, or we'll attack."

He controlled the black gold hammer to grow larger, and it danced wildly in the air with menacing momentum.

Perhaps startled by him, the female cultivator, who had already approached, immediately changed direction and flew away in an arc into the distance.

'That's it?' Ji An felt an even greater sense of absurdity.

Just then, the cultivator who was chasing the female cultivator flew right in front of him, and an unexpected turn of events occurred.

This person was Pei Xiu, who was manipulating his flying sword to attack Ji An head-on.

Yuan Hong turned his head, and his black gold hammer roared, unleashing a torrent of flames as it hurtled towards Ji An.

The flames were dark red, with a hint of black.

The female cultivator who 'escaped' was also using a flying sword, and she launched an attack from Ji An's right rear.

Zhang Le activated a talisman that could turn the earth into steel, then launched a golden flying sword, aiming fiercely at Ji An's left rib.

The flying sword was covered with fish scale patterns, like a golden swimming fish. Because the two were very close, it reached the range of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner almost instantly.

It turned out that the group of them were searching for "prey" nearby, and Ji An was discovered when he arrived at the cliff.

Because they didn't know Ji An's trump card, they devised this plan to surround him from all sides to ensure everything went smoothly.

"How exciting!" Ji An now realized he had fallen into a trap.

He was initially wary of Zhang and Yuan, but his attention was drawn to the 'robbery of cultivators' later on. Who would have thought he would be surrounded by enemies on all sides?

Sensing his intentions, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner instantly unleashed all its stored spiritual power, causing a cloud of yellow sand to swirl around its body.

Golden flowers fluttered in the air, forming the first line of defense.

The apricot-yellow flag only needs to do one thing: temporarily delay the enemy's attack on it, and just buy a moment.

As expected, the four magical artifacts seemed to sink into a quagmire, and their impact slowed down.

Ji An had already taken out the talisman from the Void Stone. Without the slightest hesitation, he activated it with anger in his eyes.

The illusory image of the Xuanhuang Pagoda spun rapidly, casting down thousands of rays of precious light.

The magical artifacts that rushed towards him were struck by a heavy hammer and could no longer advance an inch.

"talisman!"

Zhang Le and the others exclaimed in surprise; everyone understood that the sneak attack had failed.

Yuan Hong shouted:

"We can't let him go. The talisman has a time limit. As long as we can hold him off, victory will still be ours."

If the target escapes, they will be exposed and will never be able to return to Red Cloud Immortal City.

The talisman was activated, and Ji An let out a long sigh of relief, still feeling a bit shaken.

Hearing Yuan Hong's shout, he revealed a cruel smile and summoned the Flame Banner that rose off the ground.

A phoenix cry seemed to rise from the heavens above. When Yuan Hong and the others heard it, they all felt boundless flames burning in their sea of ​​consciousness, and nameless anger rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Ji An seized this rare opportunity and rode a cloud to get close to Zhang Le, who was the closest to him.

He opened his mouth slightly and released a mental roar. This soul attack technique had a very short casting range, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to get close.

He then manipulated the Gengjin Spirit-Slaying Sword, and a flying sword, two fingers wide and three inches long, shimmered with silver light.

The enemy was now like a target, unable to dodge his attacks, so he did not release any more flying swords.

Because it's unnecessary; a single, truly fatal attack is enough, which also saves mana.

A flash of silver light, and the flying sword pierced through Zhang Le's brow and exited from the back of his head without hesitation.

The way of Geng metal signifies the withering of all things, marking the eternal end.

There was no blood flowing out. Zhang Le was slightly surprised, then revealed a mysterious smile.

Ji An was stunned. What the hell was going on? How could such injuries not be fatal! Unless...
'Unless this cultivator is no longer human!'

He was startled by this inexplicable thought: if it wasn't human, then what was it?
At this moment, the others awoke from the shock of the phoenix's cry, retrieved their magical weapons, and began to organize the next round of attacks.

Ji An disregarded the need to conserve his magical power and fully activated the Gengjin Spirit-Slaying Sword. When thousands of silver flying swords illuminated Zhang Le's eyes, fear appeared on Zhang Le's face.

"escape!"

He knew very well how powerful this attack was, and how fast it was, making it almost impossible to dodge at close range.

No one present could withstand such a barrage of flying swords.

'Too careless! '

He originally thought his target was a large, fat sheep, but he didn't expect it to be a tiger in sheep's clothing.

Zhang Le was terrified and turned to flee on a cloud.

'Escape? Is escape even possible?'

With a flick of his finger, Ji An sent the silver torrent quickly catching up with its target.

After being pierced by a thousand swords, Zhang Le fell straight down the cliff.

The tide of battle turned, and such a powerful attack was unprecedented in Yuan Hong's life, exceeding the scope of cultivators in the Chaoyuan stage.

Yuan Hong's face was pale. "Let's split up."

He took out a pile of armor plates that glowed with a crimson spiritual light. After making a hand seal, the armor plates floated in the void and then began to rotate according to some mysterious rules, quickly covering his body.

As if he were wearing a layer of armor, he looked just like a majestic general in the mortal world.

Pei Xiu and Liu Ruyan witnessed Zhang Le's fate, exchanged a glance, and then rode their magical artifacts in different directions to escape.

Their bodies are nourished by demonic energy, and although they appear to have normal skin, their physical strength is comparable to that of a Chao Yuan cultivator.

A body cultivator at this level can withstand at least several attacks from a cultivator of the same level using a magical artifact; this is a result proven in actual combat.

Unexpectedly, the target was able to kill one of them simply by using magic to attack.

The Flaming Banner, enveloping Ji An, sped away, casting a dazzling crimson light.

His target was Yuan Hong, but because he didn't know the other two, his hatred wasn't as intense. Yuan Hong flew swiftly on his black gold hammer, glancing back every now and then, and noticed his target rapidly approaching him.

He understood that the chances of escaping successfully today were slim. With that in mind, he secretly channeled his magic power into the artifact, preparing to take a risky gamble.

When pushed to the brink, he has no shortage of courage to fight desperately.

Ji An calculated the distance between the two sides, and when the enemy entered the attack range of the mental roar, he launched a soul attack without hesitation.

As the attack was launched, magical power surged from the dantian and flowed rapidly through the immortal meridians along a specific route.

A silver light shone forth, and countless silver flying swords converged into a rushing river, which then engulfed the target with a deafening roar.

Yuan Hong encountered the same predicament as Zhang Le; his divine sense temporarily severed its connection with the magical artifact, causing his flight speed to plummet.

His hopes of turning against his own side were dashed, and he didn't get the chance to fight to the death.

The flying sword pierced his skull, riddling his spiritual armor with holes.

The Gengjin Slaying Spirit Sword possesses both strength and speed, as well as the indestructible divine will of the metal element and the chilling power to destroy spirits.

Yuan Hong felt his body getting lighter and lighter, and heard the whistling wind in his ears. Then, his consciousness was plunged into boundless darkness.

At that moment, a voice echoed in his mind, 'It's finally over.'

Seeing Yuan Hong's body fall, Ji An turned around and found that the other two were nowhere to be seen.

He withdrew his gaze, pursed his lips, and watched Yuan Hong's body fall.

"Oh!"

It was as if a giant lead ball had fallen from the sky and crashed to the ground, the immense impact sending up snowflakes.

Ji An infused his magical power into the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, activating the spiritual artifact to protect himself.

He landed on a cloud not far from the corpse and summoned a golden-armored puppet.

Zhang Le survived a flying sword attack to the forehead, leaving him with psychological trauma, and he didn't want to get checked out himself.

This is its first public appearance since it was acquired as a second-tier top-grade puppet.

The puppet strode forward and carefully searched Yuan Hong's body, taking away some valuable items such as the Void Stone, the Black Gold Hammer, and armor fragments.

Ji An approached Yuan Hong's body, his eyes suddenly narrowing.

He saw black blood flowing from the corpse, and strange black patterns appearing on its surface. There was also a faint stench of decay, the same smell as a rat that died in a corner of a house in the summer.

"What the hell is this?!"

Clearly, this thing cannot be called a person.

Ji An instinctively sensed danger. He immediately put the body into a storage bag and then quickly returned to the cliff.

After finding Zhang Le's body and taking away the valuables, he rode the Flame Banner off the ground and flew away at top speed.

Hongyan Fairy City.

Ji An arrived at the area where the law enforcement team was stationed and asked:
"Who's in charge here? I have something important to report."

A burly, bald man with very light eyebrows glanced at him and said indifferently:

"Fellow Daoist, could you please briefly explain what you need to report so I can help you find the right person?"

The Enforcement Hall doesn't concern itself with trivial matters; if the other party doesn't have a legitimate reason, they simply cannot meet with the higher-ups in the Enforcement Team.

"Today I encountered four cultivators outside the Immortal City. I killed two of them, but there was something wrong with those two."

He didn't mention that he knew Jie Xiu, otherwise it would only cause more trouble.

The bald cultivator raised his eyebrows, scrutinized Ji An with a critical gaze, and said:
"What level of cultivation do Tribulation Cultivators possess?"

A sense of doubt flashed through his mind; it was impossible for a cultivator to act rashly without knowing the details of both sides.

Red Rock Immortal City has a year-round bounty system, which can be obtained by killing cultivators who have undergone calamity. Every few years, some cultivators will try to claim the bounty, and they will be fined some spirit stones if they are exposed.

"They are all at the Chaoyuan stage of cultivation."

The bald, burly man revealed a meaningful smile. "Is that so? Fellow Daoist is so powerful. Could you be a Golden Core cultivator?"

Even without emitting spiritual pressure, the aura of a Golden Core cultivator is completely different from that of a cultivator in the Origin Stage, and he can easily distinguish them.

Four cultivators at the Chaoyuan stage who were engaged in the Tribulation Cultivation stage attacked one person, but two of them were killed instead. It sounds like a fantasy.

"Fellow Daoist, to be honest, I don't believe your explanation."

If you're trying to fraudulently claim the bounty, you'll be punished with three times the bounty amount if discovered, and the bounty will be confiscated. Do you understand?

Ji An nodded. "I will take responsibility for my words. I'll say it again, there's something wrong with Jie Xiu's physical characteristics. I need to see the person in charge."

Seeing his resolute tone, the bald man said:

"I'll go report this. I hope what you're talking about isn't some trivial matter, otherwise you'll get in trouble with the squad leader."

After a while, he led Ji An to the second floor and pushed open a half-closed door. "Come in, the team leaders are all here."

Ji An stepped inside and immediately heard someone shout:
"Oh, so this is the Chaoyuan stage cultivator who managed to fight back even when surrounded by bandits? My apologies."

A burst of laughter erupted from the room. In their minds, this couldn't possibly be true. If the cultivators were so stupid, the enforcement team would have already wiped out all the cultivators in the area.

Ji An's expression was solemn, and he coldly shook his head:

"I'm not here to argue with you all. There's something wrong with the corpse of the Jie Xiu. Do you want to see it now?"

"Of course we should look, it's our duty."

Ji An was waiting for this sentence, and took the two corpses out of the storage bag.

Immediately, someone covered their nose and said:

"It smells so bad, how could it have been killed today? Do you think we're fools?"

"Don't jump to conclusions. Let's examine the body to see why it's in this state first. What good will it do me to tell a lie that's so easily exposed?!"

I unleashed the Gengjin Spirit-Slaying Sword. He witnessed the spell pass through the enemy's brow, yet he did not die. This is very strange.

Later, I gathered a large number of Gengjin flying swords, which enabled me to kill the enemy.

Upon hearing Ji An's description, these people immediately realized the seriousness of the matter; how could a cultivator survive having his skull pierced by magic?

Several squad leaders gathered around, but fell silent upon seeing the black blood; a normal person's blood couldn't possibly be black.

A squad leader suggested:
"We need to cut them open and take a look."

Immediately, someone took out a flying sword, made a hand seal, and slashed Yuan Hong's belly hard.

The Taoist robe and inner robe were easily cut open, leaving a white mark on the belly, but it failed to cut open the belly or even pierce the skin.

"Is this guy a physical cultivator? His skin and flesh are so tough!"

The cultivator once again performed a hand seal, controlling the magical weapon to stab fiercely into the victim's stomach, but this time it was still unsuccessful.

The flying sword struck as if it had pierced hard iron, producing a clear, resonant sound.

Upon witnessing the resilience of the deceased's flesh, everyone looked at Ji An with astonishment and disbelief.

The fact that the opponent could kill the enemy with magic, even though they were helpless against the magical artifacts, proves their strength from another perspective.

"Strong people are respected everywhere," a squad leader said.

"Fellow Daoist, please sit down and rest for a while."
