The wedding was livestreamed by the sister, revealing his identity as a Taoist priest.

Outside the cordon.

Twelve agents from the outer perimeter of Tian Shu, armed with psionic rifles, aimed their guns at the direction from which they had come.

Fifty dark red figures trod across the gravel road without stopping.

"Halt! This is the Tian Shu S-level restricted area! Unauthorized entry is prohibited..."

The one-armed old man at the head of the group raised his eyelids slightly.

I only glanced at it.

The twelve agents seemed to be crushed by a mountain, their knees bending uncontrollably by half an inch.

The muzzle of the psionic rifle naturally drooped down by a third.

Lu Chen led his men directly across the cordon without pausing.

As they walked past, the backs of the twelve agents were soaked with cold sweat.

"Qin... Captain Qin..."

The sound from the communicator was intermittent.

"We couldn't stop them; they just walked right in."

Qin Yuan gripped the short knife and turned to look behind him.

Fifty Taoist priests in dark red robes were already standing at the edge of the deep pit.

At the bottom of the pit, the laughter of the laughing corpse Buddha grew increasingly grating.

Black blood surged, and the dark red blood aura had expanded to the edge of the pit.

Lu Chen walked to the front and looked down at the bottom of the pit.

The three-meter-tall black stone Buddha statue was frantically absorbing the surrounding yin energy, and it was about to break free from the ground's restraints at any moment.

"Grade A+"

Lu Chen's voice was hoarse.

"Enough to sacrifice half a sword."

He raised his hand.

The forty-nine people behind him drew their swords at the same time.

The sounds of ninety-eight magic swords being drawn converged, emitting a deep dragon's roar.

"Set up the formation."

Forty-nine people stepped out, their boots landing precisely on the gravel ground, each step accurate to the millimeter.

Within three breaths, the disciples occupied forty-nine positions around the deep pit.

Lu Chen drew a sword from behind his back.

The sword was jet black, without any luster or brilliance.

But the moment Qin Yuan saw the sword drawn, he took two steps back.

"What kind of sword is this...?"

The murderous aura clinging to the sword was three times stronger than that of the smiling corpse Buddha at the bottom of the pit.

"net!"

Lu Chen spoke, uttering only one word.

Forty-nine disciples simultaneously plunged their twin swords into the ground beneath their feet.

With a silent incantation, ninety-eight dark red sword energies exploded from the ground, eventually converging into a massive magic net.

The law has caught up with them!

The laughter of the Smiling Corpse Buddha abruptly stopped!

The dark red blood-red aura began to tremble violently, as if it had been choked.

The surging black blood stopped rising and flowed back down to the bottom of the pit.

"Was it just suppressed like that?"

Zhao Yue's eyes widened.

The blood-light shield, which had been ineffective against the two heavy psionic cannons, was rendered useless by this net.

Qin Yuan didn't speak, staring intently at the bottom of the pit.

He discovered that the net of justice was not sealing, but peeling away!

Ninety-eight sword energies, like ninety-eight needles, pierced the surface of the blood-red light shield, peeling away the yin energy absorbed by the Buddha statue inch by inch from the outside in.

Like peeling an onion.

The stripped-off yin energy transformed into black smoke and rose up, silently incinerating the moment it touched the net of justice.

Clean and tidy.

Qin Yuan turned his head and glanced at the energy detector.

The value is decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

A+……A……B+……

Thirty seconds.

They managed to reduce the grade from A+, which they couldn't suppress with all their might, to B.

The smiling corpse Buddha let out a mournful cry, and a large amount of black blood gushed out from the cracks on the surface of the Buddha statue.

Lu Chen moved.

He held his sword in one hand and stepped down from the edge of the pit.

Step by step, we walked down the muddy walls of the pit.

With each step, a layer of white frost forms on the soil beneath one's feet.

We reached the bottom of the pit.

The smiling corpse Buddha is right in front of you.

That eerie smile, stretching to the roots of his ears, was directed at Lu Chen.

The Buddha statue's eyes darted around frantically, staring intently at him, attempting to exert mental erosion.

Lu Chen didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Use this trick on me."

He raised his sword.

"You've got the wrong person."

A sword fell.

The jet-black magic sword pierced through the center of the Buddha statue's crown, cutting downwards and penetrating the entire statue.

The blood-red aura covering the Buddha statue shattered.

The smiley face is divided in two from the center.

The cracks spread all over the Buddha statue, densely packed.

"boom!"

A deafening roar!

The three-meter-tall black stone Buddha statue was blasted into countless fragments.

The fragments were caught in the net of law, and a wisp of dark red sword energy swept through them, turning the rubble to ash and the black blood to evaporate.

Everything fell silent.

Lu Chen was the only one left standing at the bottom of the pit.

The black blood underfoot disappeared completely, and the soil returned to its normal yellowish-brown color.

Even the stench that had permeated the area for three kilometers disappeared completely within seconds.

Qin Yuan looked down at the tactical terminal.

Energy reading: 0.00!

Residual Yin energy: None!

It's as if that A+ level smiling corpse Buddha, which took eight lives and forced the Tian Shu branch to prepare to die for the city, never existed.

"Sheathe your sword."

Lu Chen's voice came from the bottom of the pit.

Forty-nine disciples simultaneously drew their swords and sheathed them.

Their movements were so synchronized, as if they were one person.

The entire process, from setting up the formation to slaying the Buddha, took less than two minutes.

Lin Xue stood there holding the tablet, her mouth agape.

Zhao Yue's Adam's apple bobbed three times, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Qin Yuan loosened his grip on the short knife, then tightened it again, then loosened it again.

He fought the strange events for twelve years.

He fought his way up from C-rank to being able to fight against A-rank.

Today he learned that killing an A+ level monster could be as simple as cutting tofu.

Lu Chen climbed out of the pit. Not a speck of dirt was on his Taoist robe.

He glanced at Qin Yuan and stopped in his tracks.

"From Tian Shu?"

Qin Yuan straightened his back instinctively.

"Qin Yuan, Tian Shu Jiangcheng Branch."

Lu Chen nodded, which was considered a greeting.

"By order of Mr. Chen, the Hall of Punishments has been stationed in Jiangcheng to protect the Shen family."

"If something like this happens again in Jiangcheng and we can't handle it, we can send a message to the Shen family."

Lu Chen paused for a moment.

"But don't disturb them at other times."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Fifty dark red figures followed him, leaving along the path they had come from.

The footsteps faded into the distance.

Silence returned to the construction site.

Lin Xue's legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground.

The tablet slipped from my hand.

Two minutes.

"The things we couldn't break even with all our possessions, they were gone in two minutes."

Zhao Yue squatted down and put his hands behind his head.

"Old Qin."

"Um."

"The Mr. Chen he mentioned... is he the Chen Shidu who was trending online for sending betrothal gifts?"

Qin Yuan did not answer.

Zhao Yue raised his head and looked in the direction where the fifty dark red figures disappeared.

"A person with a killer team of this caliber could easily dispatch an A+ level monster to kill it instantly."

He swallowed hard.

"Just how strong must he be?"

Qin Yuan's gaze fell on the tactical terminal.

On the screen, Zhou Ce had already sent an encrypted message.

Regarding Chen Shidu, headquarters has upgraded him to an SS-level surveillance target. All related intelligence should be reported directly to me.

Qin Yuan stared at the two S's and remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Ce's voice rang out again on the communication channel.

"Old Qin."

"exist."

"I checked the surveillance footage of the elevated ring road."

Zhou Ce's tone was heavy.

"Qiliancheng's car was struck by lightning at 2:43 a.m. The three people in the car were not found to have any remains."

Qin Yuan clenched his fist.

"At the same time, the satellite detected a third energy burst in the Shiwan Mountains region in the southwest, which was larger than the previous two bursts combined."

Zhou Ce paused for two seconds.

"Three bolts of lightning, three locations, at the same time."

"This Chen Shidu..."

"Is it a human or a god?"
