I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

Located in the border region, the Lost Beast Mountain is shrouded in a thick gray fog all year round. Even with navigation, those who venture deep into it will lose their way due to the confusion of their senses.

Every year, no fewer than a thousand hunters and caravans stray into the mountains.

Of those who survived, only one in ten made it out alive. Over time, this place became known far and wide as "Ghost Mountain."

The true face of this mountain is that it is the old lair that the Ge family has been running for nearly a hundred years.

At this moment, three kilometers outside the Lost Beast Mountain, the army's and the Zhenling Bureau's camps were connected.

Teams of warriors in combat uniforms moved back and forth, completely surrounding the mountain.

More than ten aircraft hovered in the air as a watchdog. The array and magical artifacts had been set up, and the flow of spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles was blocked. Anyone attempting to escape through the air would be locked down immediately.

Jiang Qin followed Cang Ling off the aircraft.

Thick fog rolled in from the mountain pass, bringing with it an unsettling stillness.

He looked up and could vaguely see the outlines of buildings appearing and disappearing in the depths of the fog, like a giant beast lurking in the mist.

An officer strode forward and saluted Cang Ling: "Sir Enforcer, the encirclement is complete, and there are no signs of a breakout. The Ge family... they've all retreated inside."

In a situation like this, most people would have already tried every possible way to break out, but the Ge family remained inside their house.

The situation is somewhat unusual.

Cang Ling calmly gazed at the sea of ​​mist and gave the order:

"All Spirit Sea Realm warriors, assemble! Follow me as we charge in. Those below the Spirit Sea Realm are responsible for intercepting any who slip through the net."

"yes!"

The officer saluted and quickly relayed the orders.

Before long, a team of twenty Spirit Sea Realm warriors gathered behind Cang Ling. Each of them had a resolute expression, and it was not hard to tell from their eyes that they were prepared to die.

But it's unrealistic to try and break into the mountains by blending into the fog.

So, Cangling made its move.

There was no fancy starting stance; she simply raised her right hand as if holding an invisible sword.

Then—it chopped down!

An invisible sword aura flew out from the edge of her palm, growing to over a hundred meters long in the blink of an eye, and vertically cut into the ridge of the Beast Mountain.

"Snap—!"

The mountain cracked.

It didn't explode, it didn't collapse, it was neatly cut in half from the middle. The cut surface was so smooth it looked like it had been polished, not even a single tree had a chance to fall.

The thick fog that had lingered in the mountains for countless years was also torn in two.

The mist swirled and dissipated to the left and right, while large swaths of sunlight poured into the valley.

What was hidden in the fog has finally revealed its true colors.

It was a gray manor built against the mountainside, with buildings connected to buildings and pavilions nested within pavilions, stretching from the mountainside all the way to the valley floor. The black tiles and white walls gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

In the very center of the manor, in front of the tallest black pavilion, a blood-red flag was flying.

The flag is embroidered with an eye—a vertical pupil, scarlet, facing outwards from the mountains.

It seemed alive, coldly staring at everyone who looked at it.

That's the Ge family crest.

From within the cracked mountainside, an ancient voice boomed.

"What a corrupt official—he's gone too far!"

Above the pavilion, an old man in a gray robe stepped into the air.

He was thin and gaunt with sunken eyes, yet his body emanated a suffocating spiritual pressure.

It was none other than Ge Wanshan, the patriarch of the Ge family.

Beside him stood another person with their arms crossed.

The man was draped in an animal skin cloak, his features so rugged they seemed inhuman, and his vertical pupils gleamed with a cold, amber light. Just by standing there, the surrounding air began to distort, releasing a pungent, animalistic stench.

Once a ferocious beast reaches the fifth rank, it can transform into human form, and this man in animal skin is undoubtedly a transformed ferocious beast.

His aura had already faintly reached the late stage of the fifth rank, which is the late stage of the Earth Martial Realm.

Ge Wanshan stood with his hands behind his back, showing no fear on his face, but instead revealing a smile: "The reason I haven't left is because I'm waiting for you."

"Killing a law enforcement officer as a pledge of allegiance to the ferocious beast is enough to ensure the smooth sailing of my Ge family for generations to come."

He did not wait for Cang Ling's reply.

The three figures moved almost simultaneously.

Ge Wanshan's body erupted with spiritual energy, causing his gray robe to flutter wildly.

The ferocious beast let out a low roar, its body swelled, and dense scales appeared on its skin.

Cang Ling remained unfazed, taking a step into the sky, where invisible sword energy condensed into a storm around her.

The three of them soared into the clouds.

If they were to fight on the ground, let alone the Ge family, probably no one present would survive.

Above the clouds came a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing.

At the same time, Cang Ling's voice descended from the sky, as calm as if she were talking about something trivial:

"adjutant."

"Now, it's up to you."

Jiang Qin raised his head.

Lightning and sword energy intertwined in the sea of ​​clouds, and the three figures were already locked in a fierce battle.

He turned his gaze back to the gray stone manor nestled in the mountainside.

Dozens of auras at the Divine Manifestation Realm were rising from all over the manor.

Jiang Qin was speechless; nothing had turned out as described in the documents.

They said it was supposed to be a Martial Realm cultivator, but now a fifth-tier ferocious beast has appeared.

Ten Divine Appearance Realm cultivators... That's at least twenty Divine Appearance Realm warriors! Which bastard collected this information? It's way off!

"My lord, what... what do we do now?"

The officer behind him was trembling. Looking at the dozens of Divine Realm experts approaching from afar, he could feel their oppressive aura. With so few people, they were practically easy targets.

Jiang Qin scratched his head in frustration: "Just do what you're supposed to do. I'll handle those Divine Realm cultivators."

He twisted his neck.

The next instant, lightning exploded from his body.

Azure arcs of electricity coiled around his body like snakes, casting flickering light on his black clothes.

His pupils suddenly contracted, the blackness fading, replaced by a pair of cold, golden vertical pupils—as if something ancient had opened its eyes at that moment.

They didn't wait for the Divine Realm experts to surround them.

With a stomp of his foot, the ground cracked, and he transformed into a bolt of lightning as he rushed into the manor.

Before the Ge family divine physiognomist at the forefront could react, a hand wrapped in lightning had already pressed down on his face.

"The first one."

A burst of lightning shattered the skull, turning the man's entire head into a charred mess.

Jiang Qin's movements did not falter at all.

He sidestepped the two incoming spells and unleashed an invisible slash—two more heads flew off.

A figure wreathed in lightning weaved through the crowd; with each thunderclap, a person fell, their blood spilling onto the ground.

On the hillside outside the manor, dozens of Spirit Sea Realm warriors stood frozen in place.

They were stunned by the scene.

Someone swallowed hard, their voice dry: "This...is this really the Divine Physiognomy Realm?"

The God of Slaughter, Xiangru, slaughtered dogs; they would believe it if he were only at the Earth Martial Realm!

What followed was a sense of exhilaration, having such a powerful superior.

As long as the law enforcement officer can hold off those two, they will definitely be able to complete this mission!
