Chapter 740: Chapter 679: Targeting Her Weak Spot!
As Xin Jinlian revealed her identity as an Upper Heaven Calamity of the Path of Calamity, everyone present was stunned.
Xin Shuxiang’s eyes widened in disbelief at what she had heard.
Xin Jinxing was so shocked that she staggered backward two steps, and if it weren’t for an aunt by her side to support her, she might have fallen to the ground.
Except for Baili Tu, the rest of the people from the Town Demon Office were very happy to hear such an answer.
Being suspected of assassinating the Empress was a cri punishable by the extermination of one’s entire family.
And the Path of Calamity was an enemy of the Imperial Path.
So, no matter how one looked at it, this was an opportunity to target the Town Martial Office thoroughly.
Cao Deng felt completely overwheld as if it couldn’t just be a misunderstanding, and then Li Moxian would co out with the Xin family to explain things, sparing from this task?
This damned task of protecting Kaihuang seems to be getting more dangerous!
How much is my annual salary!? [Note 125]
This job is more thrilling than licking blood off a knife’s edge!
Zhang San’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, never expecting the situation to unfold like this.
At that mont, Xu explained, “The Calamities of the Path of Calamity co from three sources.”
“Firstly, those born from nature, such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, and other natural disasters. They are cultivated along with the regular calamities between heaven and earth, born initially with so degree of sentience.”
“Second, the Disaster Descending God, where the heavens and earth grant so closely human-associated Calamity Positions, descending like Secret Realms, eventually bestowed upon so individuals. If a person overcos the calamity, then the Calamity Position rely acts as a boost in strength; if the Calamity Position can overwhelm the person, then the person becos a humanoid calamity.”
“Third, the Creation of Calamity through Fate, where individuals with unique destinies naturally attract certain powers, so of which are approached by the force of the calamity, eventually perfectly rging the force of the calamity with human power. However, before they fully transform into the calamity of the Path of Calamity, they will continue to maintain a human form.”
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Xin Jinlian must belong to the third category, Creation of Calamity through Fate.
Xin Jinlian glanced around at everyone, smiled faintly, and pronounced loudly, “Today, I, Xin Jinlian, will return to the Path of Calamity here and thus leave behind my human form. Those who obstruct , die!”
As soon as she spoke these words, the Imperial Guards behind Cao Deng once again brandished their weapons.
Cao Deng felt like crying.
This was indeed a calamity from the Path of Calamity!
All of you are rely at the Late Period of the True Core Realm, are you really going to fight to the death!
However, Zhang San knew that although Xin Jinlian’s statent seed like a challenge to everyone, she was in fact severing the Xin family’s ties.
Her return to the Path of Calamity ant that she originally belonged to the Path of Calamity.
And leaving behind her human form was to clarify her dissociation with the Xin family.
Just then, soone from the Town Demon Office suddenly made a move against Xin Jinlian.
However, with just one glance from Xin Jinlian,
instantly, seven or eight people charging towards her fell to the ground, beginning to convulse.
So had faces flushed red but lips pale as death.
Others convulsed wildly, foaming at the mouth.
Soone’s heart spasd, and they collapsed, unable to rise again.
In the darkness of the night, the Offerings from the Offering Hall, concealed by special techniques, thudded onto the ground, more than a dozen of them.
So suffered from old ailnts, groaning in pain as they were plagued by sore backs and aching waists.
Others suddenly experienced such severe kidney pain that they couldn’t breathe.
With just one look, many from the Town Demon Office and the Offering Hall were paralyzed on the spot.
How could they still fight?!
Just when Cao Deng secretly rejoiced that he finally had an excuse not to send his n to die, Sai Baihua, the Principal Officer from the Town Demon Office, smiled seductively.
“Plagued by Illnesses, indeed, is a difficult Calamity to deal with. But after all, it is a Calamity born from a human. As we all know, every person has weaknesses, and isn’t her family her weakness? I do not believe she could really just watch her family suffer and remain uninvolved. What do you all think?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang San’s heart sank.
This masked old woman from the Town Demon Office was too despicable!
“Apologies! We from the Town Martial Office were ordered to capture the suspect responsible for the death of Empress Dugu, originally thought to be Xin Jinxing. But since it has been proven that the suspect is Xin Jinlian, our Town Martial Office will only target Xin Jinlian! It has nothing to do with others!”
Zhang San made his stance clear.
At this mont, erging from the darkness unable to hide anymore, one of the leaders among the Grand Offerers bellowed, “Zhang San! Do you realize this cri warrants the extermination of nine kin! Just because you don’t catch them, do you think you’ll be fine? As a disciple of Pharaoh, don’t tell you don’t know this!”
For the first ti, Zhang San realized he had never been interested in older won, but tonight, he was insanely tempted to pay so old mothers a visit.
“Of course, I know! That’s why I deliberately said so, to keep Xin Shuxiang off guard! But now you’ve ruined my plan! Then let your Offering Hall take responsibility for dealing with Xin Shuxiang! I do want to see, if Xin Shuxiang can fight three against one at the front gate of the Imperial Palace during the day, whether tonight your Offering Hall can regain its dignity!”
After seizing the opportunity to rebuke the Grand Offerer of the Offering Hall, Zhang San shouted loudly, “Since the Offering Hall volunteers, let them deal with Xin Shuxiang! With such wisdom from the Principal Officer of the Town Demon Office, I believe handling the Path of Calamity’s Plagued by Illnesses should be a breeze for you. Our Town Martial Office will handle capturing the rest of the Xin family. All the Imperial Guards of Kaihuang, you… supervise the battle!”
Zhang San saw the beads of sweat on Cao Deng’s forehead, gave him face, and then led his n charging towards the people of the Xin family.
Then, Zhang San headed straight for Xin Jinxing, who hadn’t snapped out of his shock, drew his Horizontal Blade, and bellowed, “Xin Jinxing! Today, our Town Martial Office intends to capture all of you. If you are sensible, surrender! Don’t harbor any hope of luck! Though you are many, don’t forget, we represent the elite of the Town Martial Office! With us here, think not of escaping!”
At that mont, within the Xin Mansion, Xin Jinlian attacked the people from the Town Demon Office on sight.
After all, she had heard nurous tis from her grandfather and elder sister that the Town Martial Office and the Town Demon Office had always been at odds, so Xin Jinlian showed no rcy in her attacks.
As for the Offerings from the Offering Hall, before they could realize why they were assigned to deal with Xin Shuxiang, the most formidable in combat, Xin Shuxiang had already charged at them.
A raise of her hand, and she smashed the head of a Purple Mansion Realm Grand Offerer with a punch.
One move was one kill!
anwhile, Cao Deng ordered the Imperial Guards to surround the entire Xin Mansion, but he himself stood at the back “supervising the battle.”
Then, Cao Deng saw that Zhang San, leading so twenty to thirty Martial Artists from the Town Martial Office, wasn’t actually trying to arrest the Xins—just standing in front of them, persuading them to surrender!
Zhang San held a Horizontal Blade, but then relied entirely on talking.
Cao Deng watched for half an hour to see that almost all the upper tier Offerings from the Offering Hall were dead, four Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses were barely holding against Xin Shuxiang’s fierce attacks, and yet Zhang San was still blabbering.
You could be a little more subtle about throwing the fight!
This way, it’s tough for to explain when we get back!
