"Excuse me, isn't it a bit much for a group of people to bully a single girl?"
Yuan Gang leaned against the car, a cigarette dangling from his lips, exuding an air of nonchalance.
The Angel turned his head, his gaze fixated on Yuan Gang with malevolent intensity. "You'd best forget everything you've seen here, or I'll kill you right now!"
They didn't want to fire their weapons, as it would cause a commotion, and they preferred to stay alive, not die. If any disturbance occurred, it would be troublesome.
Yuan Gang exhaled a plume of smoke, stating indifferently, "I'll give you a chance. Surrender peacefully, and I might go easy on you."
The Angel frowned, cocking his firearm instantly. The barrel pointed at Yuan Gang. "Cop?"
While they were talking, several men had already covered Lin Tian Ai's mouth and were forcing her into the car.
Yuan Gang tossed the cigarette butt away, his tone dismissive. "This is the last time I'll say it. Let her go, or I won't be polite."
"You're asking for death!"
The Angel threw his firearm behind him and launched himself forward like a leopard. As he closed in on Yuan Gang, he delivered a whipping kick towards his chest, the sound cutting through the air with immense power.
An ordinary person would have been incapacitated by such a kick.
But Yuan Gang was the foremost of the Dragon Pavilion's Four Heavenly Kings. He caught the Angel's ankle with one hand, took a step back, and pressed down. The Angel immediately found himself in a split.
Yuan Gang sneered, "Angel, is it? Congratulations on your indefinite stay in a silver bracelet."
With that, he delivered a high kick to the Angel's head, knocking him out cold.
This scene caught them all by surprise. However, after a mere second, they opened fire on Yuan Gang.
"Bang bang bang!"
In the darkness, muzzle flashes erupted, spitting out bullets with formidable lethality.
"Seeking death!"
A cold glint flashed in Yuan Gang's eyes. He suddenly vanished from his spot. By the time they blinked again, Yuan Gang was already in front of them.
Whirlwind Kick!
With a single strike, within a meter radius centered on him, no enemy remained.
"Is it not a bit much to bully ordinary people with a Grandmaster realm?"
A voice suddenly cut through the air. Yuan Gang glanced over and immediately roared, "Ye Wudao, as the head of the investigation team, you are now condoning armed assailants. What are you trying to do?"
Ye Wudao waved his hand, sending a surge of potent martial energy to suppress Yuan Gang. His hands clasped behind his back, he replied, "I don't understand what you're talking about. I just saw Yuan Gang, a soldier, suddenly go mad and attack ordinary people. I was merely taking down a madman."
Yuan Gang quickly dealt with the others, looking at him coldly and sneering, "Head of the investigation team? What a joke. I have a recorder here. Even if you want to disregard the facts, you can't!"
Ye Wudao's expression changed, his demeanor instantly turning incredibly grim. He bellowed, "You're asking for death!"
With a sweep of his hand, his martial energy transformed into a sword. Ten thousand long swords rained down towards Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang merely let out a cold snort. His martial energy rippled outwards like waves. As the ripples met the multitude of swords, they dissolved them into martial energy, scattering them away.
Ye Longlin stood on the balcony of Yun Lan Villa, a subtle smile gracing his face.
"The evidence is sufficient."
In the arena, Yuan Gang grinned, stomping forward. His aura suddenly surged.
"Ye Wudao, as the head of the investigation team, you are publicly aiding armed assailants against me. The law enforcement recorder has captured it. Surrender!"
As his voice fell, Yuan Gang charged at him, launching a punch directly towards his head.
Ye Wudao's eyes flickered, and he sneered, "Since you're looking for death, I don't mind sending you to meet your ancestors!"
He hadn't seen any law enforcement recorder. Did he really think he was an idiot?
Ye Wudao dodged his head, the punch grazing his ear. He quickly grabbed Yuan Gang's wrist, his back against Yuan Gang's chest. He bent low, attempting an over-the-shoulder throw to create distance.
But at this moment, Yuan Gang grinned, "Immovable Wisdom King."
His body was as if rooted to the ground. No matter how Ye Wudao attacked, he couldn't breach the Immovable Wisdom King's defense.
"Shaolin ultimate technique, Immovable Wisdom King."
Upon hearing the words "Immovable Wisdom King," Ye Wudao's eyelids twitched.
Immovable Wisdom King was a Shaolin ultimate technique, a martial art passed down for over a thousand years!
Generally, such inherited martial arts were not taught to outsiders. But the appearance of a Shaolin ultimate technique made him wary.
"Twenty years ago, a core disciple of Shaolin, Wu Hen, betrayed the sect and stole a significant number of inherited ultimate techniques. Shaolin's pursuit was unsuccessful. It is said he was protected by an extremely powerful individual. It appears you are that Wu Hen."
Ye Wudao looked at him coldly, as if telling him, and also confirming if he was that person from twenty years ago.
Yuan Gang ignored him. He rapidly formed hand seals, sneering, "Since you know, then try the Immovable Wisdom King Seal!"
"Immovable Wisdom King Seal, Fourteen Fundamental Seals, First Seal."
His hands clasped together, palms facing each other. His middle fingers stood erect like banners. His index fingers supported the base of his middle fingers. His ring fingers formed a treasure shape. His little fingers and thumbs spread apart. The seal was placed on his heart, shoulders, and throat, then dispersed from the top of his head. This seal empowered his body in four places, making it immovable, also known as the Fourfold Empowerment Seal.
"Namo-samanta-vajra-nāhā."
As the mantra was uttered, Yuan Gang's martial energy transformed into subtle streams of airflow, converging behind him. Soon, a majestic Buddha figure faintly appeared behind him.
The Buddha sat on a stone pedestal, appearing in a child-like form. Seven knots adorned his head, his braided hair falling over his left shoulder. His left eye was narrowed shut, his lower teeth biting his upper lip, exhibiting an angry countenance. He was backed by fierce flames, holding a sharp sword in his right hand and a lasso in his left, in the posture of severing worldly desires.
The Dharma-destroying pestle behind him descended with force!
Ye Wudao felt an immeasurable sense of danger and wanted to escape, but his body was completely out of control. He trembled, unable to move. The fear that penetrated his soul instinctively suppressed him.
He could only watch as the Dharma-destroying pestle struck, powerless to intervene.
"Boom!"
The Dharma-destroying pestle landed on Ye Wudao, creating a massive crater in the ground. Yuan Gang looked down at Ye Wudao from above.
"I, in the name of the Dragon Pavilion, judge Ye Wudao of the Ye family for colluding with armed elements and causing chaos in Star City. He is sentenced to death, temporarily detained, awaiting a secondary trial by the Supreme Court!"
Although the Dragon Pavilion had the power to judge, it still required a second trial by the Supreme Court. If the second trial upheld the Dragon Pavilion's judgment, the sentence would be carried out immediately.
Lin Tian Ai watched this scene unfold, her hand covering her mouth in disbelief.
She had never imagined that the man who always followed Ye Longlin could be this powerful, resolving everyone alone. Not only had he dealt with them, but he had also easily suppressed Ye Wudao.
Was this even human!
If he was this strong, was Ye Longlin even stronger?
"I seem to... have never truly known him."
