Chapter 231: Not Guilty of Death?
g into a trap.""My life was saved by the Sect Master's sacrifice, I can't act recklessly and disappoint his expectations. If I die too, this case will probably remain unsolved.""So why did we go all t..."As you wish!" The judge's eyes narrowed, without the slightest hesitation, a blade of light slashed out.
"No!" The Yan family cried out in unison.
Pffft!
Before the words left his mouth, a head shot into the sky. Yan Junmin’s body went limp and fell straight down, twitching a few times before going still.
"Oh, you actually dared to kill him!" Yan Mingpeng roared: "Yun Lao, kill him, kill him for me, I'll take all the consequences afterward!"
"Yes, Third Master!" The white-haired elder's eyes darkened as he looked at the judge and spoke in a deep voice: "You are a bastard, you actually dared to kill the second young master. Today, no matter who you are from the Shadow Gate, you must die!"
Boom!
As he spoke, an aura surged into the sky, a powerful force emanating from his cultivation at the War God Realm.
"Afterward, remember to kowtow and apologize to the Second Young Master!" He roared once more, his figure charging toward the Judge of the Underworld as he raised his hand to unleash several powerful punches, whistling through the air.
"Ignorance!" Xuan Pang coldly spoke from the side, his figure stepping forward two paces, raising a hand and sweeping out with a palm strike, like thunder rolling.
"Hmm" Sensing the fluctuation in Xuan Pang's aura, the elder's pupils instantly contracted to the size of needle points.
From the beginning, he completely ignored Xuan Pang, thinking he was just some chef who had run out of the dining hall!
Now, he even sensed the cultivation of a Martial Saint from Xuan Pang's body!
This made him want to swear like a sailor!
When did War Sovereign realm experts become so common, that even a random fat guy is a War Sovereign expert!
Bang!
There was no suspense. Xuan Pang's palm strike landed heavily on the elder's chest, sending him flying like autumn wind scattering leaves. He crashed to the ground, rolling several times before collapsing.
"Good job!" The old man spat out another mouthful of blood, then his head lolled back and he went still.
Yan Mingpeng and the others gasped again, collectively petrified.
The God of War, was actually killed with a single palm strike Is this any more exaggerated
"Sorry about that, I got a little carried away." Xuan Pang shrugged and grinned.
You, Yan Mingpeng, took a deep breath of cold air.
“Was it you who instructed Yan Junmin to do this” The Judge looked at Yan Mingpeng coldly and said, “Do you know what you’ve done”
"Your Yinmen are truly remarkable. Today's events, I, Yan Mingpeng, will remember them well. In the future, I will definitely repay you double-fold!"
Yan Mingpeng ignored the judge's words and, after speaking, turned to the other middle-aged man: "Brother Chen, let's go!"
Xuanpang's strength has far exceeded his estimations. Staying any longer would only lead to humiliation.
"Today, you cannot return!" the Judge replied in a deep voice.
"Sir Judge, that's enough. Don't go too far with everything," said a man named Chen Jie, fixing his gaze on the Judge.
"Who are you" the judge asked coldly.
The other party remained silent, but the judge could sense that they were no ordinary person.
"Greetings, Master Yutang! I am Chen Jie!"
"Who is it that comes to the Hall of Judgment" The judge's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I still ask the judge to show mercy to Chen Ce. Let this matter end here today!" Chen Jie continued.
"Are you quite powerful, Judge Yitang" The judge frowned: "I'm sorry, but you have no face here with me!"
Besides, you came all this way to support Yan Mingpeng. Your relationship with the Yan family must be quite close, right
"Have you also had a part in all the dirty things Jiang Hai Yan Jia Quan has done"
"Judge, please be careful with your words!" Chen Jie frowned, a cold intent spreading through him: "Don't think that because you have someone backing you up, you can act recklessly!"
"Yutang is not someone who can be bullied. If you push your luck any further, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Why are you being so polite" Ling Hao walked out leisurely.
"Ling Ling Shuai!" After recognizing Ling Hao, Chen Jie immediately gasped, his face flashing with a hint of panic.
Before that, he had kept silent, just wanting to see if Ling Hao was around.
Assuming that Ling Hao wasn't at the base because he hadn't seen Ling Shuai for so long, he dared to threaten Bian Guan.
Otherwise, even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare!
"You haven't answered me yet. How can you be so rude!" Ling Hao continued to speak calmly.
"Ling Shuai, today's events, Ying Men went a bit too far!" Chen Jie took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"You didn't distinguish between right and wrong, killing two people. Doesn't Yingmen think human life is worthless"
"So what you're saying is that Shadow Gate didn't brief you beforehand, so even the most heinous criminal can't be killed, is that right" Ling Hao spoke again.
"Ling Shuai, I didn't mean that." Chen Jie took another deep breath of cold air: "Although Yan Junmin is guilty, his crimes do not deserve death. You guys..."
"Nearly ten lives were lost to this tragedy, and now you tell me he doesn't deserve the death penalty!" Ling Hao coldly interrupted him.
After a slight pause, he continued.
"So, you're saying that you knew all along about Yan Mingpeng's collusion with the Xiyun Trading Company Or perhaps, you were involved yourself"
"Ling Shuai, please watch your words. These unfounded accusations..." A flicker of panic flashed across Chen Jie's eyes.
His reaction was impossible to escape Ling Hao's gaze. A chill emanated from Ling Hao's body.
As the lord of Yutang, to collude with the enemy and betray national security, you are very good!" Ling Hao said, his tone sinking again: "According to Yingmen regulations, beheading!"
"Received!" The impatient Judge had already raised his sword and swung it down.
"You dare!"
Chen Jie didn't expect Ling Hao to actually draw his sword and attack him in public. After roaring in anger, he raised his hand to meet the Judge's blade.
Hmph!
He clearly overestimated his own strength. With cultivation just at the initial stage of War God, how could he possibly block the strike of the Judge
Before the words could fully leave his mouth, he fell silent. A crimson line appeared across his throat, and he crumpled to the ground, twitching a few times before going still.
Click!
Yan Mingpeng and the others' jaws dropped simultaneously, their faces etched with utter terror.
Even the lord of Lianyi Hall dared to be publicly executed!
Plop!
Without any hesitation, everyone, including Yan Mingpeng, knelt down at the same time.
"Please, Lord Ling Shuai, spare my life! I won't dare to do it again. Please have mercy on me, spare this dog's life!" Yan Mingpeng kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Big brother, how do we handle this" The judge looked at Ling Hao.
"Yan Mingpeng's crimes are heinous, deserving of death by beheading!" Ling Hao responded in a deep voice. "All others involved will be thoroughly investigated. Anyone found guilty will be executed without mercy!"
"Received!" The judge nodded.
"Don't!" Hearing Ling Hao's words, Yan Mingpeng was terrified and quickly dashed out the door.
Bah!
A blade of light flashed from his waist, and in an instant, two severed bodies fell to the ground.
"Spare my life!" The crowd kneeling on the ground were all terrified out of their wits.
"
'Take it all down!' the judge waved his hand to one side.
"
"Yes sir!" A young man in a shadowy doorway nodded in response.
Five minutes later, Ling Hao and his two companions arrived at the house and took their seats.
"Big brother, what should we do next Should we bring people to deal with the Jianghai Yan family" The judge asked.dn't even made it halfway when he was blasted back, crashing into the same stool again and cracking his head open.At the same time, a rip appeared in the sleeve of his left arm, revealing a tattoo on...
