Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 147 Impersonation
"These two are definitely up to something; we can't afford to let things get out of control in this county!"

Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a serious expression.

Not only in the county town, but also in neighboring cities, things cannot be chaotic, because his home is here.

Everyone has selfish desires, and Zhao Rui is no exception.

He doesn't care about the fighting and death outside, but he can't afford to be in chaos in his hometown.

To be honest, he had never considered this aspect before, still clinging to the mindset of peacetime.

They thought that no matter how fierce the fighting was outside, the country would be safe and secure.

But now the situation is clearly different.

Internal mixing is highly likely.

Of course, the most important thing is that he now has the ability.

The solution to all problems must start with strength.

Without the ability, you can't solve anything.

"Where are those two now? Third Uncle, I need you to come with me to investigate this matter."

After finishing his meal, Zhao Rui stood up and asked a question.

"Well, I'll find out for you."

Zhao Jinze was surprised that Zhao Rui took it so seriously, so he quickly agreed and took out his phone to make a few calls.

A short while later, someone drove up and took the two of them straight to a certain place in the county town.

"This is the place. These two used to sell barbecue on the street. None of the neighbors knew they knew martial arts."

The driver said with a slightly obsequious tone that the person in the back seat was his "boss's" backer, who was said to be a Grandmaster-level expert.

This is a true master.

"Let's go inside and take a look. Don't scare anyone."

Zhao Rui nodded and opened the car door.

The younger brother immediately got out of the car and knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

"Who?"

A moment later, a rough echo came from inside, and then the courtyard gate was opened, revealing a burly young man with tattoos on his neck.

"You are?"

"We are from the Martial Arts Association. Someone has come to talk to you about something."

The younger brother, with a cold expression, squeezed past and went straight inside.

"Hey, I've already registered. It has nothing to do with your martial arts association."

The young man looked displeased, took a few steps back, spread his arms, and blocked the road.

"Enough with the nonsense. All martial artists are subject to the control of our association. This is Director Zhao of our association."

The younger brother quickly introduced Zhao Jinze, but he didn't dare to introduce Zhao Rui. He just arrogantly introduced Zhao Jinze.

Zhao Rui's face twitched. This posture made him look like the bad guy.

But since he was already there, there was no point in dawdling. He flashed behind the other person and pinned him down with his hand. At the same time, he pressed his palm against the other person's back and examined him briefly. His expression changed.

Then he quickly turned around and darted into the back courtyard room.

In less than a minute, they pulled the four strong men out of the room.

This series of movements was like teleportation, leaving the underlings dumbfounded and astonished.

"Wow, this is amazing!"

When Zhao Rui returned, the younger brother looked at him with trepidation.

Not only his younger brother, but even Zhao Jinze, a level seven martial artist, was stunned.

"Could my nephew really have reached the Grandmaster realm?"

Once the thought arose, he could no longer contain his ecstatic joy.

This is a Grandmaster realm expert; there are only a handful of such individuals in the entire Lin City, and my nephew is so young.

With the outside world in such turmoil, having a nephew is the pillar that holds the family together!
Zhao Rui ignored the changes in the two men, and instead, with a serious expression, pressed one of their pressure points and asked, "Where did you learn your martial arts?"

"Who are you? Let me go!"

The young man was somewhat frightened, not expecting to be subdued in the blink of an eye. Was this person a human or a ghost? How could they be so powerful?

Without wasting words, Zhao Rui re-pressed the mute acupoint and directly used the Mirage Finger on the other party. In just a moment, the young man was covered in cold sweat.

His eyes were filled with sorrow.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui activated the other person's speech-impairing acupoint and asked in a deep voice, "Tell the truth, there's a lie I told that will make you wish you were dead."

He didn't want to be a bad guy, but in extraordinary times, he had no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures.

You can't just drag things out and have a heart-to-heart talk with someone until they willingly reveal the truth!

"I said, I said!"

Upon hearing his words, another young man who had been acupunctured nearby had his eyes filled with anger, as if blaming his teammate for betrayal.

Zhao Rui didn't tolerate him and directly pointed a Mirage Point at him.

He can't understand the suffering in other people's hearts unless he experiences it firsthand.

"I said, I said."

The person who had released the pressure point to silence the victim hurriedly revealed the origin of their martial arts skills.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rui frowned.

According to this person, the two of them were traveling to Jiangsu Province when they came across a village and were unexpectedly recognized and taught unparalleled martial arts.

The two of them only cultivated for a few months before advancing from ordinary people who knew nothing to the level of a fifth-level martial artist.

They didn't ask them to do anything; they just asked them to join an organization called the Holy Lotus Cult.

Every so often, they would hold gatherings to teach martial arts and distribute pills that could enhance one's skills.

Their task is to cultivate and develop their followers.

"The Holy Lotus Cult?"

Just hearing the name, you know it's related to a demonic cult.

Zhao Rui's expression was serious.

These people are acting mysteriously, and they don't seem like a disorganized group.

But the villain has clearly been killed.

Did they send someone else?

At this stage, Zhao Rui is also somewhat confused.

Which side does this evil cult belong to?

Given the current situation, the ancient inhabitants of Guixu are the real enemy; they are the undisputed invaders.

The various factions in the martial arts world within Guixu are considered returnees. Although this will inevitably lead to some power struggles, their general goal is to protect their homeland in the Central Plains.

There shouldn't be any problem with this.

But which side does this evil cult belong to?

The Emei Sword Sect dealt a heavy blow to two waves of demonic cult "invasion"!
Moreover, the martial arts of this school are indeed somewhat strange and evil.

At least the few demons or their disciples that Zhao Rui encountered were extremely indifferent to human life.

"Are these people your newly recruited followers?"

Zhao Rui looked at the others and asked.

"Yes! Yes! Brother, we haven't done anything illegal. We just want to learn martial arts and become superior people."

The man, with snot and tears streaming down his face, said that the strange torture he had just endured had left him trembling uncontrollably.

"Tell me your address, and also your upline."

"Yes Yes!"

After inquiring about the situation, Zhao Rui struck the Qi Hai acupoints of the group, breaking their demonic arts.

Although these people are currently only mediocre in martial arts, their demonic arts are progressing too quickly, so we must be wary.

"You handle the rest. I'm going to Jiangsu Province!"

"Do not worry!"

Zhao Jinze glanced coldly at the group. Since his nephew cared so much, he certainly couldn't let them roam freely.

Zhao Rui didn't care about what was happening here; it was just a few small fry.

He had already driven to Jiangsu Province.

About two hours later, Zhao Rui stopped the car in a quiet and secluded mountain village.

Walked in slowly.

The village was peaceful, no different from any other ordinary village.

Occasionally, two or three children can be seen laughing outside, accompanied by the distant sounds of chickens and dogs, creating a picturesque rural scene.

It was cold outside, and the children, dressed in thick cotton-padded clothes, were playing on the ground, getting themselves all dirty.

The adults didn't seem to interfere much.

Only when Zhao Rui's footsteps approached and dogs barked did a woman come out carrying a food bowl. Seeing that Zhao Rui was a stranger, she told the children to get up and go back inside.

Her eyes kept glancing at Zhao Rui.

"Big sister, is this Hu Family Village?"

Zhao Rui asked politely.

"Who are you looking for?"

The woman sized up Zhao Rui and asked warily.

"Is your village chief here? I have something I'd like to ask him."

"I don't know!"

Upon hearing that the village chief was being sought, the woman's expression changed. She immediately pulled her child into the house and then tightly closed the door.

Zhao Rui frowned and continued walking forward.

After walking along the village for a while, I met a few people who were driving out. I greeted them and they told me they were looking for the village chief.

He immediately drove away without saying another word.

Seeing that they didn't seem to know martial arts, Zhao Rui couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Did we come to the wrong place?

Just as he continued to explore the village, several figures suddenly blocked his way.

"I heard you were looking for me?"

A short-haired, sleazy-looking man walked out of the alleyway with a sneer.

"Are you the village chief here?"

"Yes, that's me. Who are you? What do you want?"

As the village chief spoke, his tongue kept moving around his cheeks, revealing a fierce look.

They don't look like village officials at all.

He's a complete hoodlum.

"I have a business to discuss with you. Let's find a quiet place!"

Zhao Rui said calmly.

"Hey, you're still doing business? Okay, let me see what kind of business you have."

After the village chief finished speaking, he had his men escort Zhao Rui into a large courtyard.

The courtyard covers a vast area and contains a three-story building, which is decorated in an extremely luxurious manner.

Once inside the building, the village chief sat down on the sofa, spread his hands behind his back, looked Zhao Rui up and down, and said, "So, what do you want from me?"

A dark light flickered in Zhao Rui's eyes, but in an instant, the village chief stood up straight like a wooden statue.

"My identity is the village chief of Hujia Village and also a junior officer of the Qiyang branch of the Holy Lotus Sect! My martial arts were taught by the branch leader. I don't know who else is above me."

"The leader previously instructed me to develop followers, starting from the grassroots, by finding ordinary villagers..."

"Currently, I've recruited any villager with martial arts talent, and I've expanded to include more than a dozen villages in the town..."

"The leader's residence is located at No. 78, Luohan Street, Qiyang County..."

“I’ve taken all the beautiful women for myself, and even… I killed two villagers who disobeyed me…”

Upon hearing his words, Zhao Rui's eyes turned cold, and he immediately unleashed his power, turning the man's mind into mush.

Those who persist in evil are deserving of death!
After killing the village chief, Zhao Rui had his drugged henchmen use the village committee's loudspeaker to summon all the believers in the village.

They abolished their martial arts skills one by one.

Those who do evil naturally follow in the footsteps of the village chief.

After finishing all this, Zhao Rui slipped away from the village and headed to the county town.

There are so many people in the surrounding villages, he simply doesn't have the ability to find them all.

It's more important to deal with the upper levels first.

He originally didn't intend to go on a killing spree, but these people really went too far.

After practicing demonic arts, he did nothing but beastly things.

How to make people keep their hands on your phone.

Regardless of which side these evil cults are on.

Judging from the character of their followers, they are definitely not good people.

After arriving in the county town and parking his car, Zhao Rui stepped into the territory of the Holy Lotus Sect branch.

This is a small high-rise office building, decorated in a magnificent style.

A large plaque for Shunhua Trade Co., Ltd. hangs at the entrance.

It is clearly the headquarters of a large trading company.

Zhao Rui was too lazy to ask any more questions. He simply used his magic to bewitch the pretty young girl at the front desk and had her lead the way to the seventh floor.

The seventh floor is the chairman's office.

After arriving at the floor, Zhao Rui exited the elevator alone and then walked towards the chairman's office as if stepping through thin air.

These offices all have signs, so they're easy to recognize.

As soon as he entered the building, the sounds from all the rooms sparsely reached his ears.

Zhao Rui listened for a moment, then frowned.

"There are actually four Grandmaster-level martial artists? This leader has quite the airs."

Although this leader seems to be the chairman of a county-level company, hiring four Grandmaster-level martial artists at once is too extravagant.

It's more likely that they are members of the Holy Lotus Cult.

Zhao Rui sneered, walked to the door, and casually pushed it open.

The moment the door suddenly opened, the five people inside instantly became alert and on high alert, like cats with their fur standing on end.

How can we not be on guard?

They were already at the door and had opened it, but they didn't hear a sound at all.

"who are you?"

A young man behind the desk shouted sternly.

"Are you from the Demonic Cult?"

"How dare you insult my Holy Church!"

After the young man finished speaking in a cold voice, he gave the other four people a wink.

Then suddenly he struck out with his palm towards Zhao Rui.

At the same time he made his move, the other four also attacked Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui snorted coldly, his figure swaying, and in the blink of an eye, he dodged the four people's attacks.

At the same time, he used the Illusionary Sound Technique to attack the five people.

One of the five was at the Transformation Realm, but he was struck by Zhao Rui's palm in less than half a move and fell heavily to the ground.

"Master Shen!"

One of them exclaimed in surprise, only to find that the one with poor martial arts skills was the leader of the Qiyang branch.

"court death!"

Enraged, the four attacked Zhao Rui together.

Zhao Rui remained fearless, using both hands to block and deflect all of his opponent's attacks.

Not only did he stop it, but he did so with ease and grace, displaying the demeanor of a master in every gesture.

The four men grew increasingly alarmed as they fought, realizing that this man possessed extraordinary martial arts skills.

But I never expected that the opponent's martial arts skills would be so high, and that he would also possess demonic skills.

"You, who are you?"

"How do you know my Demonic Sect's divine skills?!"

"And who are you? How dare you disrespect this envoy!"

"This envoy?"

The four were startled, and their movements slowed down instantly.

Zhao Rui stared coldly at the four people, his demonic power growing even more intense.

The four exchanged a glance, stopped what they were doing, and took a step back in unison.

She looked at Zhao Rui with a somewhat uncertain expression.

"I am the Holy Envoy of the Illusionary Sound of the Holy Church, how dare you disrespect me!"

Zhao Rui said coldly, a flash of black light passing through his eyes, his voice seeming to come from the deepest hell.

Upon hearing this sound, the helmsman, who had already been knocked to the ground by Zhao Rui, screamed in agony and fainted.

"This, this, greetings to the divine messenger!"

The four men were startled and hurriedly bowed, no longer daring to look up at Zhao Rui.
