Chapter 795: [(606)] Terminator! (Second update, asking for monthly votes and subscriptions)_1 Chapter 795: [(606)] Terminator! (Second update, asking for monthly votes and subscriptions)_1 Lin Shentian never thought he would encounter such an incident in Dragon City one day.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky.
Alarm sounds came from the distance.
“Who exactly are you?”
Blood was dripping steadily from Lin Shentian’s body.
He watched Pei Jinye with terror beating in his heart.
The stranger’s face, his cold eyes, plus the ethereal glow behind him, made him look like a demon god who had stepped straight out of hell, enough to scare the wits out of the faint-hearted.
Lin Shentian truly didn’t understand… He seldom left Dragon City, how could he possibly incur the wrath of such a powerful being?
Before he could get up,
a fierce blade light fell again.
Lin Shentian hastily dodged.
This strike was aimed right at his chest, with the elusiveness of a dragon that shows its head but not its tail.
Lin Shentian felt his scalp tingle.
Despite being able to hear and see it, when he stretched out his hand to stop it, he found he just couldn’t pinpoint where the blow would land.
He didn’t dare to take the hit.
He activated his spiritual power.
His body vaporized over a small area.
Seeing him perform this move, Pei Jinye knew this guy was practicing “Fogging.”
Regardless of how much of “Fogging” Lin Shentian learned, there was no denying that the intricacy of this Breathing Method was indeed SSS level.
“Pop!”
The blade cut across Lin Shentian’s chest.
Owing to vaporization, the blade didn’t pass right through his heart, which was somewhat regrettable.
God knows how lucky Lin Shentian felt at this moment; he truly appreciated, there and then, his deceased master who had forced him to practice this mental method.
Proof was in the pudding–
“Hahaha, do you realize how strong I am now?!!!”
Lin Shentian laughed maniacally.
He knew how to deal with Pei Jinye now.
His laughter shook the surrounding dust and smoke into dispersing.
Pei Jinye, without uttering a word of nonsense, was constantly monitoring the nearby situation in real time, with a maximum of 13 seconds left…
Clang!
An explosive burst ensued.
The air currents around him were roaring like thunder.
Seeing this strike, a look of terror flashed across Lin Shentian’s eyes as they nearly popped out of their sockets.
“I refuse to believe it!!!”
He gritted his teeth.
His hands came together quickly to form a Dharma Seal.
Blood dripped from his jaw, which he completely ignored.
The moment the Dharma Seal was formed,
a ten-meter radius of the ground suddenly sank.
An ethereal light emerged.
A faint outline of a dragon appeared, grand and majestic.
However–
The sound driven by Pei Jinye’s approach exploded like rapid-fire cannons.
In a blink of an eye.
“Swoosh!”
All sounds on the street suddenly quieted down, except for the lingering sound of the blade slicing through the air.
The surrounding walls broke apart like tofu being split in half, fracturing inch by inch.
As if explosives had been detonated,
a fire soared into the sky for tens of meters.
At this moment,
Dragon City woke up all at once.
…
In the distance,
Luo Zehu, who was being given a stern talking-to, suddenly focused his gaze and looked up solemnly, “Something’s happened.”
The expression of the middle-aged man in a white suit in front of him also changed, and coincidentally at that moment, the communicator at his waist vibrated.
He answered the call quickly.
In less than a second,
seeing Luo Zehu stand up to leave, the middle-aged man in the white suit immediately pressed him down, gave him a look to signal something, and then hung up the phone.
He said with a grave voice, “What’s the rush for heaven’s sake? It’s a clash between Awakeners above the Seventh Rank, one of them has used their Domain, and the experts from the Judgement Place are already on their way.”
“That impressive? To take action directly in Dragon City?” Luo Zehu made to rush to the scene.
But he was restrained again by the man in the white suit, “Don’t make me slap you, Luo Zehu; dad said you need to behave yourself during this time. The Lin Family is cornered, watch out for their desperate acts.”
“What’s it to me if they jump or not? If they’re game, let’s have a fight,” Luo Zehu said with disdain.
The man in the white suit slapped him on the head irritably.
In Dragon City, he was perhaps the only one who dared to treat Luo Zehu this way.
“Do I need to remind you that ‘forewarned is forearmed’, huh?” The man in the white suit suddenly sensed something and looked up towards the ethereal light several kilometers away, “Why does this Domain look so familiar to me?”
“It’s Lin Shentian!” The previously slack expression on Luo Zehu’s face suddenly turned serious again.
“Lin Shentian?” The man in the white suit was taken aback; at the mention of this name, his expression changed drastically. Without further care for Luo Zehu, he blurted out, “Get yourself back home.”
Having said that,
he rushed toward the site of the battle.
But Luo Zehu was hardly the type to obey.
He closely followed behind.
At that moment, the man in the white suit had no time to pay him mind.
Something preoccupied his thoughts.
If something happened to the heir of the Lin Family… Those Lin folks would go mad, wouldn’t they?
The two were the closest to the scene.
However, by the time they reached the site of the explosion, the battle had concluded.
The scene was already sealed off.
Inside the cordon were several figures, wearing the uniforms of the Judgement Place.
Hearing the commotion,
He turned back to look at the man in the white suit and Luo Zehu.
The man in the white suit took out a small notebook from his breast pocket. “Federation Special Office. I was dining nearby with my brother when we heard the commotion and came over specifically to check it out. King Zhou Wen has authorized me, what’s the situation at the scene?”
A few Judges hesitated.
The middle-aged man in the lead stepped forward to check the notebook, then returned it. “So it’s Mr. White. The scene is as you see it, and based on the energy fluctuations we’ve just surveyed, the lethality unleashed by the two forces at the scene has reached the Extraordinary Seventh Rank.”
The man in the white suit, upon hearing this, turned to look at the ruins on the street. “How are the casualties?”
The middle-aged Judge replied with a numb gaze. “This road has been undergoing renovations recently, so there were no others present at the scene. Apart from the driver who has been confirmed dead in the explosion, we found a young man who’s still alive.”
“Who is he?” Luo Zehu suddenly interjected.
The middle-aged Judge looked over in silence.
There was no response.
The man in the white suit pulled Luo Zehu aside, “Don’t make a sound.”
Then he turned to the other side. “Is it a young man from the Lin Family? We sensed a Power of the Domain just now, which was very similar to someone we know.”
The middle-aged Judge nodded. “We are still in the process of identifying him.”
Just at that moment.
A group conducting a scan among the ruins suddenly stopped, their instrument emitting a beeping sound.
The man in the white suit, Luo Zehu, and the middle-aged Judge next to them all looked over simultaneously.
The three of them walked over.
The middle-aged Judge looked at Luo Zehu.
It seemed he did not wish to let the unidentified individual enter.
Without changing expression, the man in the white suit said, “He’s a newcomer from our Special Office; I’ll take responsibility if anything happens.”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Judge said nothing more.
The three moved forward.
The bricks of the ruins were pulled away.
A bloody, severed limb was lifted up.
The person, wearing gloves, showed no discomfort towards the grisly severed limb, examined it carefully for a while, and said, “It wasn’t cut by a sharp weapon but rather was forcibly torn off.”
“That brutal?” Luo Zehu raised an eyebrow, looking at the severed limb thoughtfully.
“Scan and carry out DNA testing,” the middle-aged Judge instructed.
The younger Judges in front had already started scanning swiftly.
Luo Zehu looked around as if searching for something.
However, the man in the white suit pulled him back, glaring at him with a look that told him not to mess around.
The status of Judgement Place in the Federation was very intriguing.
Even their Federation Special Office had always kept the peace with them, like water not intermingling with river water.
If Luo Zehu messed around, even he might not be able to handle it.
“I think it’s either Lin Shentian or Lin Shenying…” Luo Zehu pondered aloud. “I’ve sparred with him many times, I’m very familiar with his Domain, and he was just nearby.”
He pointed at the nearby car wreckage.
“When he left, he was driving a black Katali. Such cars are not common in Dragon City, and there is hardly any difference between it and the car we see here now.” Luo Zehu went forward to examine the patch on the ground…
This was part of a car’s hood.
It had many scratches.
But the cut was very smooth, giving off the impression that it was neatly sliced in one stroke.
“What about the young man?” Luo Zehu looked toward the man in the white suit.
The man in the white suit caught his breath.
Damn, how would I know?
Luo Zehu’s eyes glanced down.
The man in the white suit clenched his fist, really wanting to punch down right now, immediately!
However, he turned around obediently and looked at the middle-aged Judge, politely saying, “Brother, is that young man you mentioned earlier still here?”
“He has already been taken back to the hospital by our people,” the middle-aged Judge said.
The communicator vibrated.
The middle-aged Judge received a message.
He looked at the information on it.
The man in the white suit sneakily glanced at it and upon seeing the “Lin” character, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He turned his head to look at Luo Zehu.
Luo Zehu reacted, crouching on the ground, lost in thought.
Moving closer.
He stretched out his hand and followed the cracks on the ground with his eyes, which made his own heart palpitate.
The man in the white suit didn’t bother with him anymore, and said to the middle-aged Judge in front of him, “The Lin Family is one of the members of the Eastern Continent Business Alliance, and it is of great significance to the commercial and economic development of Dragon City and the Eastern Continent. This matter must be thoroughly investigated, brother, I’m not demanding you, but if this matter is not handled well, the skin on your back might get peeled off.”
The face of the middle-aged Judge changed.
The man in the white suit said gravely, “The master of Lin Shentian is a former deputy commander of the Eastern Continent Army Department, and the master of his brother Lin Shenying is the current president of Dragon City Martial Arts Academy, a genuine Ninth Rank Strongman.”
The middle-aged Judge’s face went completely pale.
A former deputy commander might be manageable, but if this current president, an authentic Ninth Rank, got angry, he wouldn’t stand a chance of offending him.
He hurriedly picked up the communicator to confirm the information on it.
He let out a sigh of relief and said, “The one who’s alive is called Lin Shenying.”
The man in the white suit felt a sinking feeling in his heart, “So, you’re saying Lin Shentian is dead?”
The middle-aged Judge shook his head, “We can’t confirm that yet. At the moment, Dragon City is undergoing a lockdown, and everyone leaving the city will be under our real-time surveillance.”
“Boss, the owner of the severed arm has been confirmed, it’s Lin Shentian,” someone shouted from the side.
The man in the white suit narrowed his eyes, “Lin Shentian himself is an Extraordinary Seventh Rank Awakener, to take his arm… the opponent’s strength is at least Seventh Rank. If they haven’t even activated their Domain, then I’m afraid they are Eighth Rank, or even Ninth Rank.”
With each sentence he spoke, the middle-aged Judge’s face went through a change.
If an unknown Extraordinary Ninth Rank was involved in this attack, it could be considered negligence on their part!
He turned around to immediately start issuing orders.
“Increase the manpower for the investigation!”
The man in the white suit added, “It’s best to check on the Eighth and Ninth Ranks that have appeared in Dragon City recently.”
The middle-aged Judge confirmed, “We must track down the Eighth and Ninth Ranks that appeared in Dragon City today! I want all their information!”
…
Outside the lockdown line.
Luo Zehu squatted on one side, seemingly deep in thought.
Just now, the people from Judgement Place had already investigated that he and Lin Shentian had crossed paths, so they had inquired about the situation between the two.

However, the man in the white suit had pulled up the surveillance footage to prove that he had been here with him the whole time.
Moreover, Luo Zehu did not possess the destructive power present at the scene.
“Old Bai, who do you think it could be?”
“Who knows? The Lin family are all nutcases; they might have offended some big shot outside.”
“Yeah, I think you make sense.”
