Chapter 91: Chapter 84: Recommendation

Chen Qing continued to flip through the *Eight Extremes Vajra Body*, and soon, a flash of light appeared in his mind:

[Eight Extremes Vajra Body – entry-level (1/100)]

’This progress requirement isn’t that high… Could it be because my own Realm has already reached Transmutation Force?’

Chen Qing discovered that reaching the first realm, “Iron Armor,” was not difficult. Moreover, without taking any supplementary medicine, he could achieve it in just one month.

He recalled how it had taken him a full two and a half months to cultivate from nothing to Manifest Force.

Carefully putting away the silver notes and the *Eight Extremes Vajra Body*, Chen Qing thought to himself, ’With the *Eight Extremes Vajra Body* to temper my muscles and bones, and the *Fishing Toad Force* to nourish my Inner Strength, the risk of injury should be greatly reduced.’

A strong sense of curiosity arose in his heart: If he cultivated both of these marvelous techniques—one internal, one external—to their deepest levels, just how powerful would his Flesh Body become?

…..

The snowstorm raged.

Within the Inner City of Gaolin County, at the Huang Family estate.

BOOM!!!

The heavy, iron-plated mansion gates blew inward with a deafening crash!

Splinters of wood and scraps of iron shot out, mixed with flurries of snow.

The light of flames instantly illuminated the gateway, revealing troops of soldiers clad in Profound Iron Armor and armed with Strong Crossbows and Long Sabers.

Their eyes were cold as they swarmed swiftly into the mansion. The crunch of their leather boots on the snow was especially jarring in the dead silence.

“By order of the Captain! We’re here to arrest traitors! Lay down your weapons! Resisters will be killed without mercy!”

A thunderous roar echoed through the courtyard.

“Enemy attack!!”

“Protect the Patriarch!”

The Huang Mansion instantly erupted into chaos. Nursing Home and Guests rushed out from all corners, drawing their swords and sabers, attempting to resist.

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with the glint of blades as a fierce battle unfolded.

The furious roars of Dark Energy Experts mingled with the bloodcurdling screams of ordinary Nursing Home. Blood sprayed across the pristine white snow, a shocking sight.p>

“Form up! Crossbowmen, covering fire!”

The County Soldier squads were well-trained. Shield-bearers formed a wall at the front while a volley from Strong Crossbows rained down from the rear.

Poison-tipped Crossbow Arrows shrieked through the air. Instantly, a swath of Nursing Home at the front fell, dead or wounded.

Those Nursing Home, who were usually so arrogant and domineering, seemed pathetically fragile against the army’s strong bows and heavy crossbows and their battle formations.

Only the Hospital Guard Leaders and the Guests were able to barely hold their ground.

Huang Chengzong was jolted awake in the inner hall, his face deathly pale.

He had just thrown on his robes and rushed out when a withered old man with sharp eyes emerged behind him, sticking to him like a shadow.

The old man’s aura was as deep and heavy as an abyss; he had clearly just finished circulating his energy to recuperate.

Just as Huang Chengzong rushed out of the inner hall, he ran headlong into the tide of County Soldiers flooding in.

“Hmph! Courting death!”

The withered old man snorted coldly, took a step forward, and blocked Huang Chengzong.

He casually pushed forward with a withered palm, and an overwhelming, terrifying wave of Qi Force erupted. The few County Soldiers in front were struck as if by a massive hammer. Their iron armor caved in, and they spat out mouthfuls of blood, their internal organs instantly pulverized. Their bodies flew backward like broken sacks, crashing into the crowd and causing chaos.

SHIIING!

At that exact moment, a piercing shriek suddenly tore through the night sky!

A streak of black light ripped through the wind and snow. The very air seemed to be pierced wherever it passed.p>

Its target was the Tributor who had just displayed his power!

“What?!”

The withered old man’s brow furrowed as a fatal sense of crisis washed over him instantly.

“Pang Qinhai?! Impossible! You were clearly…”

He instantly realized something, and monstrous waves of shock crashed through his mind. Months ago, he himself had taken part in that meticulously planned ambush and had personally confirmed that Pang Qinhai was critically injured and near death.

It was precisely because he believed this that he had thrown his full support behind the Huang Family.

A mix of shock and fury seized the old man. The Strong Qi throughout his body surged wildly as he thrust out both palms, attempting to meet the fatal spear head-on.

However, the Power contained within the spear far exceeded his imagination, and it carried a resolute killing intent.

PFFT!

The black light didn’t pause for an instant. With unstoppable force, it instantly pierced through the old man’s palms and plunged with perfect accuracy into his chest.

The tip of the spear burst out from his back, trailing a spray of hot, crimson mist!

The Huang Family’s Tributor let out a wretched scream. The Power from the spear sent his body flying backward, pinning him heavily to a pillar of the inner hall!

Blood gushed like a spring, instantly staining the pillar and the ground red.

Not far away, a figure appeared amidst the wind and snow.

It was none other than the Captain of Gaolin County, Pang Qinhai!

He stood tall and straight, his eyes sharp. Where was the slightest trace of a man critically injured and on the verge of death?

“Pang Qinhai… you weren’t seriously injured?! You’ve been waiting for this day all along!”

Huang Chengzong’s breath hitched, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had seen Pang Qinhai’s severe injuries with his own eyes. Furthermore, Doctor Mo of Renhe Hall and Doctor Wang of the Herbal Inn had personally checked his pulse and declared that Pang Qinhai didn’t have long to live, kept alive only by medication.

Pang Qinhai said coldly, “Huang Chengzong, I warned you long ago. To cross the line is to seek death.”

“Hahahahaha…”

Huang Chengzong looked at the Tributor’s corpse, then at the resisting forces around him being rapidly annihilated. He knew the situation was hopeless and began to laugh in despair. His laughter was filled with madness and unwillingness. “He who succeeds is a king, he who fails is a bandit! He who succeeds is a king, he who fails is a bandit! There’s nothing more to say! The Huang Family… admits defeat!”

At almost the same time, earth-shaking battle cries and the glare of fire erupted from the direction of the Zhu Mansion.

The Zhu Family Patriarch had just seen Cao Tieshan off when his mansion was surrounded by County Soldiers.

The elites of the Zhu Mansion and the Zhu Family’s Guests tried to use the mansion to mount a resistance, but the County Soldiers had clearly come prepared, bringing battering rams and grappling hooks to launch a fierce assault.

The Renhe Pharmacy, the central hub for the circulation of illicit drugs, was an even bigger target.

The pharmacy’s storehouse was broken open, and County Soldiers charged in like ravenous tigers. They captured all the Stewards and clerks who were in the middle of moving goods and trying to destroy account books and pills.

Crates of ’Blood Gathering Pills’ and ’Bone-Eroding Ointment’ were carried out, looking especially glaring under the torchlight.
