My whole family was brutally murdered? I awakened the thug system and went on a killing spree.

After devouring part of the garrison and weapon wreckage of the natural barrier defense line, Qin Meng glanced at the panel.

His physique rose to 1210 points. The marginal effect of low-level flesh and blood and ordinary metals became increasingly apparent; the conversion rate of this scale of consumption was pitifully low.

He turned his gaze to the distant megacity shrouded in a giant hemispherical light shield.

The inner ring road of Beijing.

That light shield is the capital's ultimate defense system, the Tai Chi Particle Barrier.

Unlike traditional high-dimensional energy shields, this barrier traps microscopic particles, forming a novel, extremely dense medium above the city. Theoretically, it can withstand direct impacts from asteroids.

Qin Meng strode forward and headed towards the inner ring of the capital.

The command hall of the Martial God Tower.

Looking at the report of the complete collapse of the natural barrier defense line, Li Qing fell into an eerie calm.

He turned to look at the heads of those aristocratic families.

"The natural barrier is gone. It's devouring our army." Li Qing's tone was completely calm. "No one knows how long the Taiji particle barrier can hold out. Gentlemen, prepare to die for our cause."

The Wang family patriarch slammed his fist on the table. "Li Qing, stop spreading these lies! Lord Ji is still at the top of the Martial God Tower; he won't stand idly by. We still have eighth and ninth-tier elites at our disposal. If we concentrate them and coordinate with the Tai Chi Barrier, we might just be able to wear him down!"

"Drag him to death?" Li Qing chuckled. "Even the Death Star ray couldn't kill him, what do you think you can do? With your few magic-wielding retainers?"

It is worth noting that the arrogance of high-level martial artists is often based on information asymmetry.

They were accustomed to regarding physical forces as inferior, believing that only by touching the laws of space and time could one achieve transcendence.

It wasn't until Qin Meng used 1200 points of physical strength to crush their laws into the ground that this understanding began to crack.

On the edge of Beijing's inner ring road.

Qin Meng stood in front of the Tai Chi particle barrier.

The light shield emitted a soft white light, with countless tiny points of light moving rapidly across its surface. He extended his index finger and touched the surface of the shield.

A tremendous resistance was felt at the fingertip. The impacted portion of the barrier quickly caved in, distributing the force evenly across the entire hemisphere. The rearrangement of microscopic particles attempted to counteract the kinetic energy in the finger.

"Interesting." Qin Meng withdrew his finger.

He clenched his fists. The muscle fibers taut beneath his skin, and the dark golden Dao patterns burst forth with dazzling light.

His right fist came out straight out without any fancy moves.

The physical destructive force unleashed by the 1,210 points of physical strength slammed solidly into the Tai Chi particle barrier.

The deafening roar echoed throughout the capital city. The protective barrier shook violently, and a massive crater, hundreds of meters in diameter, appeared in the area struck.

The white particles pulsed with light, attempting to repair the damaged structure.

Qin Meng didn't pause. His left fist followed immediately.

His fists alternated, like a pile driver, bombarding the same point at high frequency.

Every punch lands will trigger a small earthquake within the capital city.

The windows of high-rise buildings shattered, the maglev train derailed, and the paving stones on the road were shaken to pieces.

Inside the command center, alarms blared incessantly.

"The energy reserves of the Taiji barrier have decreased by 10%... 20%... The particle structure at the point of impact is on the verge of collapse!" the technician reported loudly.

Li Qing stared at the man on the screen throwing a punch. That wasn't breaking a formation; that was smashing a door. Using the most primitive methods, he was destroying centuries of technological and extraordinary achievements in the capital.

"Patriarchs, it's your turn to go," Li Qing said. "Once the barrier breaks, he'll rush straight into the Martial God Tower. If you go and stop him now, you might be able to buy some time for the adults to emerge from seclusion."

Twelve ninth-tier Grandmasters flew out from various floors of the Martial God Tower.

They were the foundation of the four great families, and the last remaining elite fighting force in the capital. The twelve of them hovered inside the Tai Chi barrier, watching the monster outside the barrier smashing wildly.

"Form the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. Use high-dimensional poison and mental penetration to bypass his physical defenses," the ninth-rank elder in charge ordered.

The twelve people occupied different positions, their hands forming hand seals. The sky was shrouded in a layer of ghastly green light.

The high-dimensional toxins ignored physical mediums, penetrated the Taiji barrier, and transformed into countless invisible venomous snakes, burrowing into Qin Meng's pores. At the same time, twelve massive streams of spiritual energy condensed into a sharp spike, piercing straight into Qin Meng's brain.

Qin Meng stopped throwing punches.

He stood there, and closed his eyes.

The twelve grandmasters inside the barrier were overjoyed upon seeing this.

"The mental piercing has taken effect! No matter how strong his brain is, it can't withstand the combined attack of twelve ninth-tier beings," the old man shouted. "Give it your all, completely destroy his consciousness!"

However, it turns out that their understanding of 1,200 points of physical strength was seriously flawed.

Qin Meng's brain had long been solidified into an entity with the same density as his physical body through repeated leaps in life levels.

His neurons were enveloped in extremely dense cerebrospinal fluid; the mental puncture didn't even cause a ripple. As for the high-dimensional toxins, upon entering the body, they were immediately used as high-energy fuel by the antimatter furnace and broken down into basic calories.

Qin Meng opened his eyes. The dark golden light in his pupils was even brighter than before.

Thank you for your hospitality.

He took a deep breath, his chest bulging. He stretched his right arm back, his entire body arching like a full, powerful bow.

All the accumulated power, plus the energy transformed from the high-dimensional toxins he had just absorbed, converged on his right fist.

A powerful punch that pushed the limits struck the already fragile indentation in the Tai Chi particle barrier.

There was no stalemate.

A crisp cracking sound rang out from the barrier's surface. The white particle structure completely collapsed, and a huge gap was forcibly torn open.

The gap quickly spread outwards, and the entire hemispherical light shield transformed into a shower of light, which fell heavily on the buildings of the capital city.

The barrier has been breached.

The immense backlash caused the twelve Grandmasters on the inner side to cough up blood simultaneously.

Qin Meng withdrew his fist and stepped into the inner ring of the capital city.

He looked at the twelve swaying old men in mid-air.

Without further ado, Qin Meng exerted force with both legs, creating a deep crater in the ground. He soared into the sky.

The old man was terrified. "Scatter!"

It was too late. Qin Meng's speed far exceeded their nerve reaction limits.

In mid-air, he grabbed a Grandmaster's ankle with one hand and slammed him down like a sledgehammer towards a nearby companion. The two ninth-tier bodies collided in mid-air, the sound of bones shattering clearly audible.

Then, Qin Meng activated the antimatter furnace. His hands unleashed an extremely strong suction force.

The four Grandmasters who were closest to Qin Meng were pulled by this gravitational force and their bodies flew uncontrollably toward Qin Meng.

Qin Meng reached out with both hands and crushed the skulls of two of them. He kicked the other two, breaking their spines, and they fell to the ground.

The remaining six were terrified and desperately tried to escape by activating the laws of higher dimensions.

"run?"

Qin Meng hovered in the air. He opened his mouth.

The immense suction force reappeared. This time, it didn't target matter, but instead directly extracted the free energy from the surrounding space.

The six grandmasters discovered that their ninth-order true energy and higher-dimensional laws were leaking out of their pores and being sucked into their stomachs by the man.

Their speed decreased sharply, and their bodies came to a standstill in mid-air.

Qin Meng transformed into a dark golden afterimage, weaving between the six people.

One punch, piercing through the chest.

With a single palm strike, he shattered the top of the skull.

One kick, and the energy core is shattered.

In less than ten seconds, all twelve of the capital's top ninth-tier grandmasters were wiped out.

Their corpses were all swallowed by Qin Meng into the antimatter furnace.

Physical strength increased by thirty points.

Qin Meng landed on a wide street. From the surrounding high-rise buildings, countless eyes stared in fear at this demonic man.

He ignored the ordinary citizens and looked up at the towering building that pierced the clouds in the very center of the capital.

Martial God Tower.

Ji Wudao was right there.
