Shi Dian's figure was burly, and he strode forward with long, meteor-like steps.
Although initially he seemed far away, within just a few moments, he had approached quite close to the three men.
At this moment, his aura was serene, much like an ordinary person, as he carried a corpse that resembled a tattered sack in his hand.
"This despicable thing, took my money and then dared to betray me, truly deserving of death!"
Shi Dian maintained a composed expression, looking at the three men with a light chuckle before tossing the corpse in his hand forward, smashing it down in front of them.
"Hmph! Old coot, today with both of us taking action, we will certainly take your head!"
Inspector Xu from the government office directly ignored the corpse smashed on the ground before them and looked at Shi Dian, speaking in a cold voice.
Ji Changyin remained silent, his gaze fixed on Shi Dian, his aura pulsating, as a fiery energy emitted from his body.
Only Qin Zheng, at this moment, stared blankly at the twisted corpse on the ground.
The person in question was none other than the ruffian, Fa Cai!
His spine was broken, limbs twisted, but there was still a faint breath from his nose and mouth.
Qin Zheng stepped forward, squatted down, and looked at the ruffian, placing his hand on his wrist, trying to feel the strength of his pulse.
So faint it was almost imperceptible!
Other than waiting for death, there was no way to turn back.
Qin Zheng's face instantly turned grim.
Shi Dian then noticed Qin Zheng and, raising his eyebrows slightly, said, "There is a saying, 'A tiger that falls flat on the plains is mocked by dogs.'
Inspector Xu and Ji Changyin coming at me I can understand, but you, a little executioner, also dare to come."
"Truly an ant trying to swallow an elephant, brave yet sure to die soon!"
Qin Zheng did not respond to him but instead looked toward Fa Cai's face.
At this moment, the dying Fa Cai's lips trembled slightly, and he spoke in a whisper barely audible to ordinary people, "Master... run... quickly..."
After uttering these three words, his breathing ceased, and with it, his life.
A surge of anger instantly rose in Qin Zheng's heart.
He struggled to suppress the fury surging incessantly within him.
He reached out and closed Fa Cai's eyes, then one by one straightened his twisted limbs and torso.
While he did so, Shi Dian let out a disdainful chuckle, then his gaze turned to face Inspector Xu on the opposite side, his expression gradually darkening.
"Why?"
Shi Dian suddenly spoke up.
"I have worked for the Gao Family for decades, and just because my son insulted a maidservant of their household, they want to kill my boy!"
Xu Weisan remained calm, laughing coldly, "A dog is still a dog. If it dares to overstep, it must be subdued with thunderous force as a warning!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Dian burst into loud laughter, then looked at Xu Weisan and replied, "I am a dog? Then you, Xu Weisan... are you not also a dog?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a chilling light flashed in Xu Weisan's eyes, and he shouted, "How dare you!"
In an instant, a formidable aura burst forth from him, and his entire figure charged forward violently!
Seeing this, Ji Changyin's eyes flashed, and he followed closely, drawing his sword to join the fray.
Swish! Swish!
Two shadows dashed out from either side of Qin Zheng.
The strong wind they brought up lifted his black hair into a dance, covering his face, obscuring his true expression.
Shi Dian spread his hands wide, his hair rising without wind, and roared loudly, "Then come!"
In a split second, three Martial Artists who had broken through the triple barrier of the Sinew Refining Realm collided with each other.
They fought like three human-shaped beasts, kicking up dust and making loud thumping sounds.
As the battle progressed, the golden light on Shi Dian's body became brighter, and his aura grew stronger and stronger.
Originally less powerful than Ji Changyin, he was now facing two adversaries without falling behind!
This situation immediately caused Xu Weisan and Ji Changyin to feel a sense of foreboding.
The old fellow had indeed made a breakthrough!
However, breaking through a Realm was not an instantaneous event, but something that gradually completes over time.
That means, even if Shi Dian had already broken through to the Bone Refining Realm, the increase in strength wouldn't happen overnight!
Given the short time that had passed, even if he had broken through, the enhancement in strength should not be to an unbeatable extent.
The two looked each other in the eye, seeing the decision reflected in each other's gaze.
This old coot must be killed!
If that's the case, then it's time to bring out our signature skills!
With that thought, a murderous aura suddenly erupted from Ji Changyin's body, as if the sounds of troops charging into battle could be heard.
In an instant, Ji Changyin's momentum changed, and his knife techniques became deadlier, their power skyrocketing!
Inspector Xu Weisan did the same, his blade work shifting, adding a venomous quality to its flexibility, like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows.
Under such an onslaught, Shi Dian was quickly forced to retreat again and again.
The faint golden light emanating from his body trembled continuously, as though it might shatter at any moment.
Seeing this, a glint of joy appeared in the eyes of Ji Changyin and his companion.
But before that speck of joy could last a moment, Shi Dian suddenly let out a loud shout, and the golden light around him surged!
"The two of you think you can take me down? Pure wishful thinking!"
"With the strength of two thousand jin, I have enough power to kill you both!"
With these words, the aura around Shi Dian climbed rapidly, surpassing Ji Changyin and Xu Weisan in front of him in an instant.
Then, moving like a shadow, he stepped in front of Xu Weisan and bellowed, "Die for me!"
Such swift speed left Xu Weisan almost no time to react.
As he swung his long knife toward Shi Dian's neck, Shi Dian reached out with a large hand and instantly seized the blade.
The tremendous force made Xu Weisan's long knife immovable!
Next, Shi Dian clenched his other hand into a Fist Seal and hammered it towards Xu Weisan's chest.
"How dare you!!!"
Xu Weisan, with a fierce look on his face, let out a loud cry.
He dropped the long knife and turned to run.
However, his speed was just too slow, and he was still struck by a punch in the back.
Puh!!!
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from Xu Weisan's mouth, scattering like mist.
He then tumbled to the ground, unconscious!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. After Shi Dian landed a heavy punch on Xu Weisan, he suddenly turned and swung his fist.
What he met was Ji Changyin, who was also swinging his knife.
"You cut me with your knife that day, today, you take my punch!"
Shi Dian sneered, letting Ji Changyin's long knife strike him, as he landed a punch on Ji Changyin's body.
However, the punch seemed ineffective. Ji Changyin, after taking the hit, suddenly retreated.
Without another word, he took several leaps and disappeared from the area.
"Military soft armor..."
Shi Dian watched Ji Changyin leave, didn't pursue, and murmured to himself with a shifting gaze.
Then, he turned around to look at Qin Zheng, who was dealing with the ruffian Fa Cai.
"All worthless scum. Since you care so much for him, go down and accompany him!"
Shi Dian sneered and strode over before punching down at Qin Zheng.
Bang!!
But the punch didn't result in the anticipated splatter of blood and burst of brains.
His fist was caught by a hand that wasn't particularly thick—stopped, unable to move further.
"You!!!"
Shi Dian's pupils shrank suddenly as he looked at the young man before him, his eyes filled with fear!
His punch had been blocked by this insignificant Executioner!
A sense of absurdity washed over him, but before he could say anything, another punch slammed into his chest.
In an instant, a mighty force struck him, sending Shi Dian flying backward!
Qin Zheng stood up, his gaze cold as he watched Shi Dian fall in the distance.
At the same time, he shouted in his heart, "Enhance martial arts, Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique!"
