Free Web NovelChapter 62: Chapter 61: Leaving After the Deed is Done, Fist Dao and Divine Communication
Great Xia Prison, Zone B Prison.
"To think the Seventh Prince’s mastery of the Golden Body Technique has already reached such a profound level!"
"His Fist Dao is practically at the level of Divine Communication!"
Murong Hai sighed in admiration as he looked at the corpses of the convicts, especially after noticing the lingering, tyrannical Fist Intent.
The Seventh Prince of Great Xia had displayed immense talent for the Martial Dao since childhood!
Not only had he cultivated numerous advanced Fist Techniques, but he had also mastered the Fifth Grade Technique—the Golden Body Technique—to the Realm of Returning to the Essence from a very early age!
Now, so many years later, who would have thought he had progressed so far down the path of Returning to the Essence!
The power of the Golden Body Technique was practically comparable to a Divine Technique of the same level!
He still remembered the day of the prince’s breakthrough. Above the Imperial City, countless streams of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi had gathered, and a Golden Purple Qi Vortex had swirled!
Starlight encircled him! The sun and moon shone together!
The celestial phenomena shook the world!
In the Imperial City, some of the petty troublemakers who had been planning to cause chaos were completely stunned by the incredible sight!
They buried their rebellious thoughts deep in their hearts, daring not to make another move!
"You lot, take care of these convicts’ bodies!"
Snapping out of his reverie, Murong Hai ordered several middle-aged Prison Guards beside him to take the convicts’ bodies away.
A look of joy appeared on his face!
These felons from the B-Class Prison hadn’t managed to escape, which meant he didn’t have to worry about being demoted or having his salary cut!
And although the great Seventh Prince of Great Xia was in secluded cultivation deep within a mysterious area of the prison, paying no mind to external affairs...
...he had still chosen to act without hesitation at a critical moment to strike down the convicts!
This meant the Seventh Prince still cared about the prison’s safety!
Having such a powerful expert protecting the prison at all times was a blessing!
Not only had security greatly improved, but the Prison Guards could also do their jobs with much more ease.
But his happiness was short-lived.
A Prison Chief from the A-Class Prison, his expression panicked and his forehead beaded with sweat, hurried over to him holding a crystal-clear, silvery-white Jade Bead and quickly explained the situation to Murong Hai!
"What did you say? King Zhenyue, who was imprisoned in the special section, has escaped!?"
"Dammit!!"
"Who broke his sealing chains? And who opened the prison’s Restriction?"
"Tell me!!"
KRAK!
Murong Hai crushed the Illusion Bead in his hand!
His expression was one of shocked fury!
He practically roared the last sentence!
Inside, however, he was terrified!
’King Zhenyue!’
The first man to raise an army in rebellion all those years ago!
’If he successfully escapes the prison, rallies his old subordinates, and makes a comeback!’
’If he raises another rebellion, burning, killing, and pillaging!’
He couldn’t even begin to imagine how tragic his own end would be!
Seeing that Murong Hai had calmed down slightly, the Prison Chief of the A-Class Prison spoke quietly, his voice trembling with fear. "I heard... it was Lord Feng from the Prison Suppression Bureau who opened the prison’s Restriction..."
"He’s no longer in the prison now... we can’t find any trace of him..."
BOOM!!
Murong Hai’s expression was grim, his chest heaving with boundless rage!
The powerful aura of an Innate Grandmaster erupted from him!
Everyone fell silent as cicadas in winter, lowering their heads, not daring to look at Murong Hai’s furious face!
Every one of them knew full well!
If King Zhenyue successfully escaped, then as the Prison Chief of the entire prison, Murong Hai would surely face severe punishment from Emperor Xia!
Being stripped of his official post would be getting off easy!
Thinking of the worst-case scenario...
...by this time next year, they might be burning paper money on the grass growing over the Prison Chief’s grave!
WHOOSH!
A moment later, Murong Hai finally forced himself to calm down!
He composed himself and then gave his orders.
"Spread the word! Get the Prison Suppression Bureau and the Demon-slaying Bureau over here to help!"
Something this major was no longer something he could handle alone!
He had to join forces with the experts from the Prison Suppression Bureau and the Demon-slaying Bureau, act quickly to intercept King Zhenyue, and throw him back in prison!
Only then would he have a chance to atone for his mistake in time!
It was better late than never.
After giving his orders, Murong Hai’s face darkened, and his figure flashed as he headed out of the prison.
Meanwhile, somewhere else in the prison, Chen Tianfeng had also learned of the situation from his attendants!
His eyes narrowed, and his expression turned grim!
...
「Outside the Imperial City, at the Celestial Fire Demon Cave.」
A bright moon hung in the sky. The dark clouds on the horizon had scattered, and a silver radiance shone down!
Su Bai floated high in the air.
Around him, hundreds of incomparably sharp Divine Sense Swords quickly materialized!
The next moment, as if struck by an epiphany, he threw a punch!
With that one punch, True Qi surged, and the hint of a Demon Fiend appeared!
Hundreds of Spiritual Swords swirled around him!
The light was dazzlingly brilliant!
In this one punch, Su Bai had fused his Divine Thoughts, the Demon Evil Qi from the Celestial Fire Demon Cave, and the Golden Purple True Qi within his body—all three merged into one!
This was, in the truest sense, Su Bai’s most powerful move!
The heavy punch shot out, shaking the world in all directions!
King Zhenyue, his face filled with terror, had no time to dodge before the massive golden Fist Seal blew his head apart!
Immediately after, hundreds of sharp blades of Divine Sense completely obliterated his consciousness!
BOOM!
King Zhenyue’s consciousness dispersed. He reverted to his human form and fell to the ground!
One punch!
King Zhenyue was dead!
In the sky, Su Bai slowly withdrew his fist as numerous insights flooded his mind!
Previously, his Divine Thoughts had skyrocketed to a level comparable to a Divine Platform Realm Great Power thanks to the Seventh Grade Cultivation Technique, the Demon Taming Technique. Ever since, he had been constantly thinking about how to combine the Power of Divine Thought with his other learned techniques!
Now, after this initial attempt, Su Bai found that the results were quite good!
The power of his Golden Body Technique had grown much stronger!
After finishing his contemplation, Su Bai immediately checked his status!
[Golden Body Technique (Fifth Grade Technique) Realm — Returning to the Essence! (100,000)]
Just as he expected, the status panel showed that the Experience Points for his Golden Body Technique had increased by another twenty thousand!
It had broken the one hundred thousand mark!
Its power had strengthened by a fair amount!
His gaze shifted downwards. As Su Bai looked at King Zhenyue’s corpse, his expression suddenly flickered. frёeωebɳovel.com
"Hm? So there’s a little rat still hiding!"
How powerful was Su Bai’s Divine Thought now?
With just a brief sweep, he discovered a thin old man in a black robe hiding under a massive boulder not far away.
His face was pale, and he was trembling uncontrollably!
In a flash, Su Bai appeared before him.
The man was startled and immediately fell to his knees before Su Bai. Suppressing the terror in his heart, he cried with tears streaming down his face!
"Fist Immortal, I beg for your mercy! This old slave was once an Elder of the Black Lotus Sect, but after witnessing the Fist Immortal’s heroic might, I am deeply humbled!"
"If you would not find it beneath you, this old slave wishes to serve the Fist Immortal as my master!"
"For generations to come, as your servant and slave!"
His words were earnest, his expression fervent!
He looked as if he was ready to go through fire and water for Su Bai, willing to die ten thousand deaths!
At this moment, to stay alive, this Elder of the Black Lotus Sect had thrown everything away!
Face, dignity, and all such things were cast aside completely!
Su Bai looked astonished!
’This Demon is so pragmatic?’
’He’s quite the character!’
BOOM!
Then, he threw a punch and killed him!
After a quick clean-up of the scene, he mounted his Demon Dragon, traveling under the stars and moon, and departed with carefree grace!
