The Law of Heaven

Chapter 144 Aihara vs. Ai
In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Yihao Hotel, Ruan Xingzhi gazed at the night sky. Across a wide road, he could see rows of black Mercedes-Benz cars stuck at the intersection, remaining motionless despite the changing traffic lights.

The investigation team's convoy was blocked at the intersection, its bright headlights flashing as if as a warning.

It was like two silent bulls facing off.

Traffic police arrived to mediate, but the pedestrians and drivers blocked on the roadside got out of their cars and started cursing, creating a chaotic situation.

"I have to say, my cousin is really ruthless to resort to such methods. Sometimes, I admire her shamelessness. Since it's inconvenient for them, as high-level executives, to show their true colors, they send their young subordinates to cause trouble."

Ruan Xingzhi stroked his beard and shook his head, saying, "It seems she really intends to save those genetically modified patients. There are a full eight combat sequences, and quite a few of them."

Xiang Yi sat at the table, drinking tea and eating a plate of matcha cookies. She said indifferently, "Those genetically modified patients are all her people. If you try to snatch people from her, you're slapping her in the face. Of course, she won't allow you to do that."

But rules are rules.

Ruan Xingzhi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he snorted coldly: "The life or death of that girl is not important. The Curse of Heaven must not be allowed to spread any further. Now that we are here, we must let them know who is in charge of this city now."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Professor Mu, I'll need your help when the special operations team is deployed later..."

cough cough.

Mu Bei sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, his face as pale as paper. He coughed painfully and said, "Amitabha, I am seriously injured today and have no energy left."

Neuropathy!
Ruan Xingzhi didn't know what had gotten into this old woman. Ever since she fought with the Spirit King, it seemed like her brain had been damaged. She had changed her usual personality and was now devoted to doing good.

This is practically a complete change of persona.

Ruan Xingzhi then looked at the young man at the table. Considering the young man's noble background, he was unlikely to waste his energy on such a trivial matter, so he made up his mind.

"Then today, I'll do it myself."

Ruan Xingzhi turned around, took out his phone, and made a call: "Xiangyi, take your people and prepare to take action. Tonight I will grant you emergency law enforcement privileges. No matter what happens, the academy will be there to support you."

You and your companions simply need to act boldly and decisively, at any cost, to nip the possibility of the Curse of Heaven spreading in the bud. If you encounter any resistance, handle it your way, even if it escalates or makes things ugly… Do you understand what I mean?”

The old man's voice was very cold and harsh.

"understood."

Xiangyi's voice came through the phone; her tone was indifferent, without any discernible emotion.

The call is hung up.

Xiang Yi had no objection to his arrangement; the matter was insignificant to him and not worth mentioning.

But he always had a strange premonition.

It seems something is going to happen tonight.

"Professor Mu."

Xiang Yi suddenly asked, "What exactly happened today on the other side of Baili Plaza?"

Mu Bei, his eyes still closed, said calmly, "I was facing two Grandmasters all by myself, and I was so focused on fighting that I didn't notice anything else. What's wrong?"

Xiang Yi raised his pale eyes, staring intently at her expression, and after a second of silence, said, "It's nothing."

Across the street from the Central Hospital, the lights were on. Xiangyi silently hung up the phone and turned to look at her teammates.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

The crowd inquired.

“I just received news that a girl with a genetic disease is undergoing surgery at the Central Hospital. If the surgery is successful, she will survive. But if the surgery fails, the Curse of Heaven will spread. This matter should be kept secret by the Alliance, but someone leaked it to us.”

Xiangyi frowned and asked, "Who did this?"

As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, Lu Zhijing, who had been beaten up earlier, grinned and said, "Of course it's the Yan family. Their family was recently purged, and the few high-ranking members who are still around are considering defecting. I used some methods to give them a psychological boost."

Of course, this is also thanks to Ye Qingge's sacrifice. Ye Qingge went so far as to promise them the resources and protection of the Ye family, which is why the Yan family sold us the information.

Ye Qing smiled gently and said, "Captain, it's alright. The sooner we complete the mission, the more you'll gain the professors' appreciation, get your student status back, and finish your studies."

A silence fell over the group.

Lin Jing vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

Hua Bo's face turned even uglier. He thought to himself, "These two are really idiots. They don't even understand the stakes involved!"

The royal sister was also infected with the Curse of Heavenly Principle.

The girl who is currently undergoing surgery can be said to be the hope of all patients with genetic diseases.

If the higher-ups don't know about this, Xiangyi won't have to step in as the bad guy, and nothing will happen to her.

Now things have gotten complicated; Xiangyi is going to take matters into her own hands.

Unfortunately, someone in the team betrayed them.

Isn't this like putting each other on the hot seat of the fire?

What if that member of the royal family holds them accountable?
There are only two choices when it comes to depending on each other.

Either offend the royal family.

Either betray your teammates.

"Well, I see."

Xiangyi turned around and said, "Let's go."

Although she felt a little reluctant.

After all, that girl was also a living being.

But what's done is done, there's nothing that can be done.

If anyone has a problem, it's just that she's unlucky.

She was powerless to defy the orders from above.

The streetlights were flashing, and the pedestrians had long been dispersed by special means. Even the diners in the restaurants along the roadside had left, and the waiters had gone one after another.

Xiangyi led the group onto the empty street.

Across the street, people had been waiting for quite some time.

"They've finally arrived?"

Yunxiu crossed her arms and gave a cold snort.

Shang Yan used mental fluctuations to sense the strength of his opponents and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk, everyone has advanced to a higher level. That girl leading the group is terrifyingly strong... Captain Qingci, you'll have to put in a lot of effort later."

A solemn expression appeared on Li Qingci's usually expressionless face as she said in a low voice, "Since I took over the Second Combat Sequence, I have never encountered such a strong opponent."

Jian Mo scoffed from the side, "Anyway, our mission is to stall for time. If we can't win, we'll just drag it out."

The team members smiled behind their backs.

As members of the Deep Blue Alliance's combat unit, they are the elite in this city, undoubtedly geniuses.

But today's opponent is different.

This group of people came from the Central True Academy.

Especially Xiangyi, the captain, is a young genius from the Xiang family of Jiuge. She has the strength to reach the peak of the Transformation Rank. It is said that she has found a suitable ancient artifact and is ready to advance at any time and achieve her own Crown Rank.

Although Xiangyi's talent is not as good as Jiang Youqing's.

However, her current demonstrated strength is even greater, with numerous impressive achievements to prove.

It's not that Jiang Youqing is weak, but rather that the crown rank she wants to achieve is too demanding, requiring a solid foundation for each step, which makes her advancement relatively slower.

In contrast, Xiangyi grew up in the Xiang family and received top-notch resources and education.

The two people started from different points.

The small group of people stood on the other side of the road.

Someone smiled nonchalantly.

They felt that the other party was trying to stop a chariot with their bare hands.

Do not overestimate your own capabilities.

Xiangyi paused for a second, looked at the battle formation opposite, and said softly, "I have no intention of being your enemy. Can you move aside? I have obtained emergency enforcement authority and need to enter the hospital to eliminate the hidden danger of the spread of the Curse of Heavenly Principle."

Her voice was soft, yet firm.

"Excuse me, what is emergency enforcement authority? This is Qingdao, the territory of the Deep Blue Alliance. We don't quite understand the system of the Central True Academy."

Yunxiu shrugged: "I won't allow it."

"Yeah, yeah."

Jianmo pointed to the hospital building behind him: "I have a friend resting there, and it's not convenient to disturb him."

"If you have something to do, come back tomorrow."

"That's right, late at night..."

The combat team members are all seasoned veterans, already quietly preparing their abilities to deal with the battle.

Some members of the team had already shown signs of displeasure, and a chilling aura spread outwards like a surging tide.

"I know you're trying to stall for time."

Xiangyi closed her eyes, as if she had made up her mind, and said indifferently, "But my time is very tight, so I will try to defeat you in the fastest way possible."

The expressions of all members of the combat formation changed slightly.

Xiangyi opened her eyes, her clear black and white pupils appearing sharp, as if they held a vast amount of cloud energy.

Her breath grew long and deep in an instant, like a gust of wind sweeping across a snow-capped mountain peak, instantly scattering the dust on the ground. The trees by the roadside swayed, and the withered leaves of late autumn rustled and crumbled. She raised her right hand, which was gloved with snow-white gloves, and a faint human face appeared in her palm.

Lively!

The teammates' expressions changed slightly.

They knew that the captain was serious.

That living spirit is called the Mountain Collapse Soul, and it has the ability to release energy many times over, which is a perfect match for the captain.

Xiangyi extended his right hand.

Luck, harmony, venting anger.

Tai Chi Chuan stirs up the airflow and pushes it out sideways!

boom!
Looking across the entire combat sequence, it would be difficult to find such a top-tier perfect technique, and no one possesses three ancient relics that fit together so perfectly—it's simply a match made in heaven!

For a fleeting moment, the entire combat force felt that terrifying aura, as if a snow-capped mountain had collapsed before them, and a massive, surging tide of snow was rolling down!
This is the gap.

An unprecedented and enormous gap!
The three ancient relics that Xiangyi fused together were practically created for her Qi cultivation technique. This is something only top-tier families could do, maximizing her combat power!

A surge of air rushed towards us like an avalanche!

Without hesitation, Yunxiu raised her hands, and frost spread in her palms, forming a huge ice shield!

Li Qingci also placed her hand on the ice shield.

Crystallization!
The ice shield solidified into a firm crystal.

Shang Yan released a mental fluctuation, amplifying the spiritual qualities of the two captains, and roared, "Jian Mo!"

A silver glint flashed in Jian Mo's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Get ready, we'll charge out together in a bit."

Next, the crystallized ice shield will be pushed out horizontally and explode in front of the opponent, while they are responsible for counterattacking.

But right now.

They leaned on each other but pushed forward with all their might.

The wind suddenly picked up.

The murderous intention is awe-inspiring.

The surging air suddenly expanded, pushing vehicles off the road and causing roadside trees to explode with a deafening roar.

It sounds like a lion or tiger roaring!
The crystallized ice shield shattered suddenly!

The eyes of everyone in the combat formation were practically popping out of their sockets.

In contrast, the team that relied on each other all showed expressions of emotion, as if everything was just a matter of course.

On the hospital's high platform, the top leaders of the five major families also witnessed this scene and frowned slightly, saying, "As expected, the academy's top genius is still as powerful as ever."

The veterans also felt a pang of regret, realizing that the company had been corrupt for many years and had lost its talent pool, falling far short of expectations.

Director Yu and Officer Lin, who rushed over by helicopter, witnessed this explosive scene and felt an extremely powerful aura spreading throughout the hospital.

"Young people from the Central Privy Council?"

The couple muttered to themselves.

Jiang Hai, watching this scene from the corridor, frowned slightly and said, "Qi cultivation technique? Interesting."

Jiang's mother gaped in astonishment: "This little girl looks so delicate and frail, how can she be so amazing?"

"What's so great about it?"

Jiang Wanwu snorted coldly, her gaze wandering downstairs for a moment, searching for that familiar figure.

"This little girl is going to achieve a Grand Master rank. Even if it's not the highest rank, it won't be far off."

Master Zhou smirked: "I understand, that's applause!"

Xiangsi watched this scene from the window with great tension, while Bobo by the window was so frightened that his fur stood on end and his tail stood up high.

boom!
Caught off guard, Yunxiu and Li Qingci felt a metallic taste rise in their throats, and their chests churned as if they had been struck head-on by a monstrous wave.

The two of them flew backwards like kites with broken strings.

The team members, including Jian Mo and Shang Yan, were powerless to resist and were pushed sideways by the surging airflow, about to crash into the cars in the parking lot.

Human wave tactics are useless.

Xiangyi possesses extremely powerful area-of-effect attacks.

If you are weaker than her, you can't stand up to her.

No matter how many people come, it's useless.

This is absolute strength; the genius from the Central True Academy has shown his brilliance for the first time.

The teammates who depend on each other don't even need to take action.

The battle is over.

It can be called a dimensionality reduction attack.

However, for a fleeting moment, the lights in the hospital lobby flickered, and it seemed as if someone had reached out a hand.

Yunxiu and Li Qingci, who were about to fall to the ground, suddenly froze in mid-air, floating as if freed from gravity. The enormous inertia disappeared in an instant, which looked quite miraculous.

Shang Yan did not fall to the ground.

There was no silence either.

No one fell to the ground.

That extremely embarrassing scene did not occur.

In the dimly lit hall, Aihara, dressed in a suit and tie, walked out and raised a long, slender finger.

Aihara murmured to himself, "I'll hold back this time, and not like last time, otherwise people will say I'm bullying people. Hmm, I'll just combine half of what I used last time, so I won't have to have two nervous breakdowns in one day."

"Then I'll do as you say, my young master."

A white-haired girl, dressed in a maid outfit, kissed his lips like a passionate lover, becoming one with him.

Aihara's nerves began to burn.

It is red and hot.

His fierce golden eyes gleamed in the darkness.

Aihara extended his slender index finger.

A point in mid-air.

The battle formations that had been suspended in mid-air landed.

boom!
The tyrannical force field roared like a dragon's cry, causing the airflow, which was like a dam breaking, to collapse and swirl back. The cars in the parking lot were overturned and rolled into the green belt like rag dolls, crashing into the hard guardrail with a loud bang.

Broken trees flew horizontally into the air, and withered leaves and dust from the ground floated into the air and whistled away.

A thunderous dragon's roar shattered the silence of the night; their short hair fluttered in the wind, and their pupils suddenly contracted.

The air she released was compressed inch by inch.

She felt it too.

A mighty dragon surged forth.

They forcibly broke through her air.

They forcefully invaded her territory.

It's almost bursting her!

With a bang, it was as if something had broken.

Xiang Yi's right hand was thrown away by a powerful reaction force, and the surging air surge shattered with a roar.

The mental wave swept over, and the entire team was shaken and staggered backward, including her herself, who also took a half step back.

Wherever the dragon's roar passed, everyone was still in shock.

This scene was witnessed by everyone upstairs in the hospital.

Everyone's breath stopped.

The brain stopped thinking.

But his nerves were in a state of extreme excitement.

It sounded like a roar, like a scream.

Even the disoriented battle formation was stunned.

An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Aihara walked past them and stood in front of the parking lot.

A strong wind howled in, causing the suit to flutter like water.

“It seems that what I said in that rented room last time wasn’t taken to heart by you. I think I was…too lenient with you.”

Aihara surveyed the group, then gently spread his hands in front of the girl and her squad.

"Then this time, all of you come at me together."
