Fortunately, Lufang had warned them in time, and everyone was safe and sound.
The pitch-black demon burst through the wall, letting out a roar that shook the heavens and earth. His tiger roar actually tore a passage through the sea of blood. Lufang looked towards the central vortex, where half of the blood-flame figure was already submerged. Lufang, expressionless, swung his right fist.
Within the fist wind, the ghost tiger’s mighty aura appeared. It suddenly bit at the blood-flame phantom, whose bloody arms transformed into giant claws, barely blocking the ghost tiger’s biting. The ghost tiger gripped its prey, stepping backward, struggling briefly before falling below. Without hesitation, Chen Yongjing severed his arms, and his figure completely disappeared into the vortex.
"Lufang! You’ve damaged my divine body! I’ll remember this, Squad Leader!"
The extreme resentment in Chen Yongjing’s voice echoed.
The sea of blood disappeared.
Lufang stood in place, his gaze ice-cold. The ghost tiger lowered its head, handing him a pair of bloody arms—it was Chen Yongjing’s. Virtualization was not absolutely invincible.
"I never expected Su City to be hiding such a big fish."
Lufang hadn’t been with the police for long and hadn’t dealt with cults much, but throughout the nation, it was rare to see cultists who could match the might of someone who had breached the Third Shackles. On one hand, the cults in Da Xia were weak, and on the other, these individuals were well hidden.
The fingers of the severed arm in his hand were still twitching...eventually, they stiffly formed a "middle finger" gesture in mockery before losing their sinister power.
"Truly a bunch of indestructible vermin."
Lufang’s brow furrowed.
This evil technique was completely unreasonable. Other martial artists looked equally grim; the strength of Chen Yongjing was beyond imagination. After following Lufang for so many years, this was the first time they encountered a cultist who managed to escape from under Lufang’s grasp.
Lufang exhaled a breath of turbid air and calmly said,
"Notify headquarters, search the entire city. This strange teleportation spell likely doesn’t have a long range. Chen Yongjing, having lost his arms, has significantly weakened."
Lufang, judging by Chen Yongjing’s resentment, guessed that even with evil techniques, regenerating arms might not be possible. Besides, many evil techniques required hand gestures, so he suspected Chen Yongjing might lie low, afraid to move around Su City until he had healed.
During this time, the Heart Happiness Sect would likely not dare to cause trouble.
Lufang coldly continued,
"Place all direct kin of the renegade under surveillance; restrict their movement and major expenditures. Those studying at Martial Arts University should contact the school to drop out. Even if they are not involved, control them... If this traitor still retains some conscience, he should turn himself in from abroad.
Remember this, everyone.
As martial artists, we must face the Almighty calm. If capable, you can break free of your shackles to extend your life. Moreover, as technology progresses and opportunities arise in the Void Realm, mankind might one day develop something to prolong life. Betraying colleagues and country to follow demons and monsters is utterly base!"
Many martial artists nodded in agreement,
This traitor truly caused misfortune for his own family.
From now on, his descendants would be barred from any significant positions.
Some elder martial artists sighed in frustration.
"Let this be a lesson... If Zhang Fei surrenders, perhaps through him we can get to Chen Yongjing and uproot the influence of the Heart Happiness Sect in Su City completely."
He grabbed the severed arm and leapt down from the second floor.
"The Evil Calamity has worsened..."
Chen Yongjing might just be the tip of the iceberg in the dark world.
First, let’s have the Security Department investigate cosmetic clinics across the nation thoroughly. When you find one cockroach at home, there are actually many more. Beneath the daylight of Su City and even Da Xia, undercurrents surge, and evil grows more rampant.
July 20, Chen Jiu’s home.
[Iron Crotch Skill: Beginner (100%) → Skilled (1%)]
Hearing the prompt, Lu Chenzhou felt an incessant, blazing warmth in his kidneys and the crotch region, as if a small sun were fiercely blazing there. Updates are released by ɴovelfire.net
He had the illusion that he could flip heaven and earth...
Lu Chenzhou clasped his fists towards Chen Jiu and said,
"Thank you, Teacher. I should be proficient now. I won’t trouble you any further."
His Great Merit had only 15 points remaining.
The crotch area he could reach by himself, and now that he was well-versed in it, there was no need to waste money. Besides, this also delayed Chen Jiu’s cultivation.
Chen Jiu nodded and said with a smile,
"Not bad, becoming proficient in just twenty lessons. You are indeed a cross-training prodigy. Although cross-training is less significant than the internal styles today, since you have the talent, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your main profession, you can continue on this path, and perhaps achieve surprising effects."
He remembered Lufang.
Below a grandmaster, few could rival him, a pity that for some reasons, he did not attend the last Wanbang Martial Arts Competition; otherwise, he would have definitely been a force on the Earth List.
Lu Chenzhou turned and left.
After becoming proficient in the Iron Crotch Skill, not only had his younger brother grown stronger, but more importantly, his kidneys had become increasingly robust, enabling him to remain in a high-energy state at all times. This was beneficial for eliminating various toxins from his body, speeding up metabolism, and aiding internal style cultivation.
Not to mention when it came to sexual matters.
"The teacher said, in the old world, there were people who mastered the Iron Crotch Skill to the point where they could use their manhood as if it were a wheel hub, uncuttable by knives, untoppleable by spears, with Yang Qi like blazing flames... If Void Things transformed into beautiful women or beautiful fox demons tried to drain their life, they would be burned alive by the robust Yang Qi, or would flee in terror. This is also a method to overcome the Void."
If it was effective against Void Things, Lu Chenzhou would practice it. Of course, old legends likely had their exaggerations, but undoubtedly, boosting Yang Qi was real. The blazing warmth in the Yangxi acupoint that Lu Chenzhou had already cultivated clearly grew stronger.
This Breakthrough Realm had also slightly improved his Qi-Blood; a small yet significant victory.
Upon returning home, after practicing the Heavenly Pile, Lu Chenzhou scrolled through his cellphone.
Many groups were discussing something; recently Beautiful Life Hospital was suspected to have cult members exposed, now implicating hundreds of stores nationwide. Rumors said the Martial Arts Department was secretly collaborating with the Security Department for a large-scale undercover investigation.
Since these were all hearsay, the truth was uncertain.
But such things generally did not arise without cause.
Lu Chenzhou remembered the flyer.
"Does this hospital really have issues? Could it be related to the cult?"
Lu Chenzhou despised cults.
After all, he was a victim.
With this thought, he made a call.
Chen Zhen’s voice came from the other end.
"What’s up, Chenzhou?"
"Officer Chen, have there been any leads on the Blood Flames woman we discussed the other day?"
Lu Chenzhou always felt that his two encounters with the Beauty Head were not coincidences.
He feared that someone from the cult was trying to harm him in secret, considering he was also a prodigy.
Chen Zhen paused for a moment before replying, "I had my suspicions earlier, but lacked evidence, which is why I didn’t inform you. Now I can tell you: the Blood Flames woman, and the mastermind behind the virtual incident at Haotai Villa, are the same person."
"Su City’s top doctor at Beautiful Life Hospital... Chen Yongjing!"
Lu Chenzhou’s thoughts uncontrollably drifted back to that night.
The two handing out flyers, the harassed woman...
