"Take them away!"
Yan Hao commanded.
Several subordinates swarmed forward, ready to take Fang Xin and the others away.
The onlookers were in an uproar.
They couldn't help but feel some indignation; these bastards from the Church were simply too overbearing.
Liu San'er and the other Church members wore sinister smiles.
He said to Fang Xin, "You little brat, I'll make sure you're full of shit later!"
During the pushing and shoving, several members of the enforcement team prepared to grab Li Bao'er, but before they could even touch her, Li Bao'er fell to the ground with a thump.
"Ow! I was pushed!"
Fang Xin and the others looked over in unison.
Fang Xin had seen this familiar scene before, it was all too familiar.
Li Bao'er clutched her phone, her face full of grievance and innocence.
Fang Xin felt that Li Bao'er didn't have a God of Blades talent; this was clearly an SSS-rank 'Faking an Accident for Compensation' talent.
A born 'Faking an Accident' Saint Body.
The several enforcement team members were also stunned by this scene, all looking at each other.
Yan Hao said with a cold face, "Take them away!"
Without a word, those few people roughly tried to pull Li Bao'er up.
Seeing this, Fang Xin delivered a knee strike, immediately knocking one person over, unconscious.
"Try touching her again!" Fang Xin's eyes were wide with fury, his killing intent surging.
This startled several enforcement team members, who all retreated.
A cold glint flashed in Yan Hao's tri-white eyes, and one of his hands immediately turned blackish-purple, as if filled with potent poison, and without a word, he lunged at Fang Xin.
Before his hand could even touch Fang Xin.
A sharp sonic boom whistled through the air.
A chair was seen smashing squarely into Yan Hao's body, making him stumble several times, almost falling.
Hua Cheng strode towards them.
The crowd erupted in a clamor.
"Holy crap! Sixth Master Hua, Hua Jingang!"
"Sixth Master Hua is known for being fiercely protective! And he's an impulsive Strength-based Mangfu! This is going to be good!"
Hua Cheng stepped forward.
Yan Hao angrily said, "Team Leader Hua! What crime is it to assault law enforcement officers? I don't think you'd be unaware, would you?"
"Stop spewing that bullshit about rules! Who gave you the guts to arrest my people?"
Yan Hao patted the dust off his clothes, "I am part of the enforcement team, and upholding justice is my duty. I don't care if you're from the Ninth Division or some big organization! As long as someone dares to break the law, I will arrest them. If others can arrest them, I dare to arrest them. If others can't arrest them, I still dare to arrest them. Execute first, report later, by imperial decree!"
Hua Cheng grinned and said, "Then you have the guts to arrest me too!"
Yan Hao scoffed at this, took out a whistle, and blew it. More enforcement team members were seen converging towards them. "Team Leader Hua, don't think you can act recklessly and lawlessly just because you have the Ninth Division and the Hua Family backing you. Today, I am taking this person. Not even Jesus can stop me, I said it. Arrest them!"
Hua Cheng twisted his neck, grabbed an enforcement team member by the hair, and without a word, pulled his head down and delivered a solid knee strike, instantly knocking him out.
"Hua Cheng! If you hit a law enforcement officer again, I'll arrest you too!" Yan Hao pointed at Hua Cheng and roared.
The commotion here attracted more and more attention. People from the Sky Shield Bureau heard the news and also gathered towards the scene.
More and more people looked over. When they saw the enforcement team, formed by the Church Guard, making arrests and clashing with people from the Ninth Division, the area was instantly packed, impassable.
Many people wanted to act against the Church members, but due to the Church's immense power, they could only eagerly hope for the Ninth Division to make a move, at least to get a good show.
Hua Cheng stood firm. Behind him, more and more people from the Sky Shield Bureau gathered. Sixth Master Hua was like a local tyrant, and while the enforcement team members were full of anger, they didn't dare to truly make a move.
Just as tensions were at their peak, another voice came, "Team Leader Hua, to make things difficult for law enforcement officers in front of so many people, isn't that a bit too disrespectful of the rules?"
It was a seemingly refined young man, dressed in a uniform, tall, with a feminine smile on his face.
"Xu Bin, stop with that act! You know perfectly well how your subordinates conduct themselves!"
Xu Bin smiled, "How my subordinates conduct themselves is not for Team Leader Hua to worry about. We are law enforcement officers. If someone breaks the law, we naturally must arrest them! Yan Hao! Arrest them!"
Yan Hao showed a sinister smile and was about to lead his men to arrest Fang Xin and the others.
Hua Cheng took a step forward, ready to act.
Xu Bin also took a step forward, blocking Hua Cheng, his thin lips slightly curved, "Team Leader Hua, no one has ever dared to touch my people in front of me, Xu!"
"Hello? Grandpa, can you hear me?" A voice suddenly came through.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Bao'er lying on the ground, talking on the phone with Li Tai'an.
Many onlookers were puzzled, not knowing what act this seemingly naive and beautiful girl was performing.
"What's wrong, Bao'er? Who hit you?" Li Tai'an asked angrily.
"People from the Church Guard!"
Li Bao'er lay on the ground, her eyes darting to find Yan Hao's direction. Then she rolled around on the ground, turning a full circle clockwise, aiming the camera at Yan Hao.
"It's him! Xin Guo showed him the ring you gave him, and he said that the sword of the former dynasty cannot slay an official of the current dynasty!"
Li Tai'an's loud laughter came from the phone, and even through the phone, his laughter made many people tremble. "Hahaha, 'the sword of the former dynasty cannot slay an official of the current dynasty'! This old man will try today! Let's see if this old man's sword from the former dynasty can slay an official of the current dynasty!"
Yan Hao's face drastically changed upon hearing this.
Xu Bin's face also changed, "Vice Regiment Leader Li... Vice Regiment Leader Li, please calm down!"
As he spoke, a brilliant white light came from the horizon. The white light drew a long white line across the sky, moving incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye.
That white light had already reached Yan Hao's eyes. Yan Hao had no chance to resist. The white light directly pierced his forehead, and Yan Hao himself flew backward under the immense impact, finally being pinned to the wall by a blade, dying instantly from a headshot.
The entire place erupted in an uproar!
A thunderous roar exploded, shaking the entire scene.
"Holy crap! They even dared to kill a Church member!"
"Awesome! Taking a head from a thousand miles away! Who on earth is this divine being!"
"I thought this cute girl was just being abstract! I didn't expect her to be a powerful second-generation!"
Killing someone from half a country away!
This method was earth-shattering!
It left everyone present stunned and unable to calm down for a long time.
Hua Cheng gave a look to a Sky Shield Bureau member behind him, then suddenly pulled out a sack from his spatial ring and put it over Xu Bin's head. Without a word, he kicked Xu Bin in the waist and crotch. Other Sky Shield Bureau members followed suit, pulling out sacks and hitting and putting them over the heads of the enforcement team members.
"Hit them!"
The Sky Shield Bureau members were the first to act. When the onlookers saw this situation, they finally found their chance. They swarmed and pushed into the crowd, kicking whenever they found an opportunity. Some even kicked off their shoes, cheering joyfully.
"Everyone, stop!"
An angry roar came.
The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of the important figures in the central area, in the tents.
Chu Tianhong was seen approaching with his men, full of imposing aura.
Following behind Chu Tianhong was a middle-aged man, his body enveloped in a golden glow, wielding a broadsword with a crossguard. As he approached, some people who hadn't had time to retreat were caught directly. The middle-aged man, without a word, split one person in half.
"You even dare to hit Church members! You bastards have a lot of guts!" The middle-aged man roared, and the broadsword with a crossguard in his hand rotated with a clang as he plunged it into the ground, and golden light surged.
Xu Bin stood up from the ground.
He took off the sack, his body covered in footprints, and scrambled to his feet, furious, pointing at Hua Cheng.
"Hua Lao Liu! You actually dared to hit me!"
Hua Cheng said innocently, "Which eye of yours saw me hit you?"
Xu Bin pointed at Hua Cheng's shoe, "You kicked me so hard your shoe came unstitched! And you say you didn't hit me!"
"Everyone, shut up!"
Chu Tianhong roared, his gaze sweeping across Fang Xin's face. Chu Tianhong's heart was pounding.
The penetrating power that Fang Qingdi had left in his heart was still there, and he dared not harbor any ill will towards Fang Xin, otherwise, his heart would ache excruciatingly.
Chu Tianhong was the first to smile at Li Bao'er, "Vice Regiment Leader Li! Chu Tianhong greets you!"
"Dispense with it! I killed him, are you here to arrest me?"
Chu Tianhong immediately smiled, "Vice Regiment Leader Li, you exaggerate. Vice Regiment Leader Li naturally has her reasons for acting!"
As he spoke, Chu Tianhong looked at Xu Bin again, "What happened?"
Xu Bin looked at Yan Hao's subordinates, signaling them to report the situation.
Liu San'er, reeking, immediately stepped forward, pointing at Fang Xin, "Reporting to the Governor, this brat disregarded the rules and immediately started hitting people! And he didn't just hit me! He also spoke disrespectfully! First, he slandered the Guard, then he slandered our Church, and he even hit law enforcement officers! Please, Governor, investigate!"
Xu Bin immediately followed up, "Governor, these people are truly undisciplined. They even hit law enforcement officers. This precedent must not be set. They must be arrested and punished to teach them a lesson, to make them remember the consequences of defying law enforcement! And to make them remember that blaspheming the great Church is an unforgivable sin!"
Clang!
The middle-aged man on the other side rotated the broadsword with a crossguard in his hand, his eyes instantly turning golden, staring intently at Fang Xin.
The onlookers discussed animatedly.
"It's over for that Ninth Division kid, he might be in for a rough time!"
"So many of us acted just now, and we're protected by 'the law doesn't punish the masses,' but we did hit law enforcement, so someone has to take the fall. This kid is the source of the whole thing!"
"Alas, these Church people are arrogant. Today's incident involves the face of the Church and the enforcement team. Even if the Ninth Division tries to protect him, Governor Chu will absolutely not let it go!"
"Let's light an incense stick for Fang Xin; may there be no oppression in heaven!"
Chu Tianhong turned his head and looked at Fang Xin.
"Fang Xin, you tell me what happened?"
Fang Xin pointed at Liu San'er and truthfully said, "Your Church people were throwing up and having diarrhea in our tent. I asked him to move the tent, and he cursed at me. I have depression and can't stand such foul language, and then his face hit my palm!"
"Is what he said true?" Chu Tianhong looked at Liu San'er.
Liu San'er was completely unafraid, convinced that the Church's superior wouldn't turn on his own people for outsiders, "Reporting to the Governor, it was a misunderstanding at the time! I didn't do it on purpose!"
Xu Bin also took over, "Governor, I believe our people would never lie. Our people merely did something harmless unintentionally, but this person violently attacked an allied comrade, which is the first crime. Facing the enforcement team, he spoke disrespectfully and defied public authority, which is the second crime. When questioned by the Church Governor, he spoke flippantly, grinning and lacking proper decorum, which is the third crime!
These three crimes! They are unforgivable! Your subordinate suggests that he be immediately apprehended! Give him the punishment he deserves, to make him understand what rules are!"
As he spoke, Xu Bin pointed at Fang Xin and commanded, "Take him down!"
Several enforcement team members moved to surround Fang Xin.
But in the very next second.
