28: Chapter 28 Filial Piety Brings Strength: The Father Slaps His Younger Sister into the Ground

Ten thousand meters in the air.

The sea of clouds rolled beneath their feet.

Saintess Lin Xinglan heard Su Yun's words, "Can you hit a little lighter?", and a flash of extreme emotion swept through her cold, phoenix-like eyes.

She looked at the tattered youth in her arms.

As expected of the Bloodline of the former Saintess.

Facing a villain who attempted to throw him from ten thousand meters in the air to be smashed into a pulp, not only did he harbor no resentment, but he could also maintain such a compassionate and magnanimous character.

"Rest assured."

Saintess Lin Xinglan nodded slightly, her tone softening a bit, carrying a reassuring certainty.

"I will instruct the Elders to leave her with one breath, allowing her to live and face judgment from the Sanctuary."

On the surface, Su Yun maintained an inscrutable, calm demeanor, but inside, he sighed.

Leave her with one breath?

If those eight old men really broke that brat's limbs, what excuse could I use to cover it up when Mom asks tonight?

Just as Su Yun was thinking about how to tactfully stop this one-sided slaughter...

On the outskirts of Linhai City, at an abandoned quarry.

A pitch-black afterimage darted and maneuvered wildly against the rough rock wall.

Su Qing's pretty face, hidden under the shadow, was pale, and her chest heaved violently.

Behind her, eight Sanctuary Elders wearing snow-white robes were like maggots attached to bones.

Eight pure golden streams of light dragged long tails of flame in the night sky, biting onto her relentlessly.

"Form the array!"

The Grand Elder at the lead roared, its voice like a great bell, shattering the clouds in the low sky.

Eight A-Rank Peak Ruling Elders formed hand seals simultaneously.

A massive golden array diagram instantly took shape in mid-air.

[Sanctuary Cage] rose from the ground; eight thick golden pillars of light transformed into sky-piercing chains, sealing all spatial dimensions within a thousand meters with an unstoppable force.

"Bang!"

The Void Realm shook.

Su Qing was forcibly pushed out of her shadow stealth.

Like a kite with a broken string, she fell wretchedly from mid-air, crashing heavily into the pile of rubble in the center of the quarry, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

Behind a cliff in the distance.

Several Psionic Users conducting a black market deal were so scared by this world-destroying commotion that they sprawled directly on the ground.

They didn't even care about the boxes in their hands, covering their mouths tightly, not daring to breathe.

They widened their eyes, staring at the eight old men floating in mid-air, exuding a pure, holy Aura, and gasped.

"This kind of ability? That is... Sanctuary Elders?!"

"Eight A-Rank Peak experts!"

A scarred-faced man's voice trembled out of tune.

"Did Dark Blade dig up the Sanctuary's ancestral grave or something? Why did it provoke this group of old monsters to mobilize collectively?"

"The Watchers' supernova, she definitely won't be able to walk out of this quarry today!"

In the pile of rubble.

The Grand Elder stepped forward.

The A-Rank Peak Aura pressed down on Su Qing like an invisible, towering mountain.

"Dark Blade!"

The Grand Elder's eyes widened in anger, its beard and hair bristling.

"You are simply audacious! How dare you hijack ordinary civilians in public! Even if you have The Watchers organization behind you, I will pull your tendons and peel your bones today!"

Su Qing was forced to one knee by this terrifying pressure, the bluestone slab beneath her knees cracking inch by inch.

She gritted her teeth, looked up, and stared fixedly at the old man in the sky, so angry she started cursing.

"What kind of bullshit civilian!"

"That's just a pretty boy who only knows how to deceive women! He's a dead scumbag!"

"You group of senile old fools, you've all been fooled by his face! Also, what does it have to do with you that I captured him!"

Upon hearing this, the eight Elders' eyes filled with even greater murderous intent.

Insulting the Saint is a crime on top of a crime.

The eight raised their hands simultaneously; in their palms, dazzling golden Holy Light began to compress crazily, the lethal judgment power locking onto Su Qing below.

Su Qing knew she couldn't fight them.

She bit her tongue hard, spraying a mouthful of vital blood onto her full-body shadows.

She was going to use her strongest trump card, [Shadow Boiling].

"Boom!"

Violent black mud gushed out from her body, transforming into thousands of indistinguishable black Clones.

These Clones, like a burst dam of black mud, roared and charged toward the golden chains in mid-air.

The violent energy collision erupted with ear-piercing roars.

The black mud forcibly pried open a crack in the [Sanctuary Cage].

Su Qing's true form turned into a streak of extremely dark light, shooting up into the sky along that tiny gap, heading straight for the clouds, attempting to escape.

The black market Psionic Users behind the cliff were completely stunned.

"My god!"

The scarred-faced man was dumbfounded.

"She actually used her own strength to forcibly crash through the joint blockade array of eight A-Rank Elders!"

"This kind of terrifying explosive power... Is this the gold content of The Watchers' number one Genius? Too much of a Prodigy!"

Even the Grand Elder below had a drastic change in expression.

It didn't expect this little girl to have such ruthless decisiveness and strength; for a moment, the array was broken, and it hadn't managed to stop her.

Just as Su Qing rushed out of the encirclement, thinking she had finally escaped...

In the sky, without warning, a piece of Black Flame that blocked out the sun ignited.

A tall figure stepped through the Void Realm, appearing out of thin air directly in front of her escape route.

The man wore a tattered black trench coat, his true face hidden beneath a hood.

Black Flames bloomed like red lotuses beneath his feet.

S-Rank.

Legendary Monster Hunter, Night Owl.

Su Qing's forward momentum halted abruptly. Seeing the familiar Black Flame, she was first startled, then overjoyed.

She seemed to have grabbed the last straw of life, shouting directly in mid-air.

"Big Brother! Help!"

"These old lunatics from the Sanctuary are bullying people, help me block them! I owe you a huge favor!"

Everyone operated near Linhai City; although they didn't get along, they should face external enemies together.

Night Owl stood amidst the Black Flame.

He was originally just passing by the outskirts after getting off work, sensing such a large-scale A-Rank Psionic collision, and wanted to come over to watch the fun.

And while he was at it, see if he could kill a few Strange Tales.

He had dealt with this little girl, Dark Blade, a few times.

Although she was bad-tempered and sharp-tongued, she wasn't a bad person at heart.

He glanced at the disheveled Su Qing, then frowned, turning his gaze to the eight Sanctuary Elders chasing from below.

"Gentlemen of the Sanctuary."

Night Owl's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a metallic texture, "You have crossed the line. This is the heartland of Great Xia."

"Mobilizing eight Ruling Elders to cross the border and encircle a member of The Watchers, do you want to start an all-out war?"

The Grand Elder steadied its figure in mid-air.

It looked at Night Owl, who was exuding S-Rank pressure, its expression extremely ugly, but it did not retreat.

"This matter has nothing to do with you!"

The Grand Elder was burning with rage, pointing at Su Qing above and retorting loudly.

"This woman's actions are simply insane! She has crossed the bottom line!"

"What did she do?" Night Owl asked with an indifferent tone.

"Just half an hour ago!" The Grand Elder's words were like thunder, "In the city center, in full public view, she hijacked an ordinary high school student named Su Yun!"

The air suddenly quieted for a moment.

The gaze beneath Night Owl's hood narrowed slightly.

The Grand Elder thought he was weighing the pros and cons, and continued to accuse with grief and indignation.

"She not only hijacked a civilian, but even held him at ten thousand meters in the air, intending to smash him into a pulp for fun!"

"If we hadn't arrived in time, that innocent child named Su Yun would already be smashed to pieces!"

"Ordinary high school student, Su Yun."

"Ten thousand meters in the air, smashed into a pulp."

Night Owl's body stiffened.

The temperature of the surrounding air dropped to freezing in that second.

The Black Flames in the sky suddenly stopped flickering, as if even time had been frozen by this sudden, terrifying murderous intent.

He slowly turned his head.

The eyes beneath the hood's opening stared fixedly at Su Qing, who was less than twenty meters away from him with an innocent face.

The cruelty and madness in his gaze made even Su Qing, who had experienced countless life-or-death situations, shudder.

Su Qing didn't realize at all that disaster was imminent.

Seeing Night Owl not moving, she thought he was wary of the Sanctuary's power, so she curled her lips and couldn't help but mutter.

"What innocent child."

"He's just a pretty boy who leaves his affection everywhere. He's a good-for-nothing scumbag without any Psionic power, so what if I drop him? He deserves to die..."

Before she could finish speaking.

Night Owl raised his head and let out a roar as furious as an ancient Vicious Beast.

He shoved his revolver, which he had just half-drawn from his waist, back into the holster.

To deal with this brat, using a gun was too easy on her.

Night Owl swung his right hand backhanded.

The Black Flames in the sky instantly gathered, condensing into a tangible giant hand dozens of meters wide.

The giant hand, with the force of a thunderbolt, slapped down like swatting a fly, with a muffled "Boom" sound, covering Su Qing's head directly.

"Ah!"

Su Qing only let out a short, miserable scream.

Her whole body, at ten times the speed of her escape, turned into a black meteor and was slapped straight into the quarry surface below by this giant Black Flame hand!

"Boom!!!"

The earth shook violently.

Countless huge rocks flew into the sky.

In the center of the quarry, a huge crater ten meters deep was forcibly slapped out.

The whole scene was dead silent.

The wind stopped.

The black market Psionic Users in the distance opened their mouths wide.

The eight Sanctuary Elders hovered in mid-air, their faces full of shock.

Everyone was completely unable to understand the scene before them.

This notoriously arrogant legendary Monster Hunter, who only recognized money and not people, why would he suddenly erupt with such irreconcilable, monstrous murderous intent after hearing the name of an ordinary high school student!

He even went so far as to personally take the field, using S-Rank absolute force to backstab a companion who came to ask for help!

Night Owl fell from the sky and stood steadily on the edge of the deep crater.

At the bottom of the crater, Su Qing had a large bump on her head, her bones feeling like they had fallen apart, lying in the mud and vomiting blood crazily.

She was full of grief and indignation, her brain completely paralyzed.

What is wrong with this world?!

What kind of Demonic Technique did that damn Big Brother cast!

Chu Youwei protects him, the twelve old monsters of the Sanctuary fight to protect him.

Now even Night Owl, who had some friendship with her, exploded and beat her to death upon hearing his name!

Can Big Brother's charm spell control even middle-aged uncles!

Night Owl jumped to the bottom of the crater.

He stepped on Su Qing's back, suppressing her attempt to struggle and get up.

Then, he looked up at the eight Sanctuary Elders outside the crater.

The voice beneath the hood was still cold, but it carried a fierce, gnashing-of-teeth edge.

"Gentlemen of the Sanctuary. No need to thank me."

Night Owl applied force under his feet, and Su Qing let out a muffled groan.

"Daring to kill an innocent civilian with no Psionic fluctuations, it is simply intolerable!"

Night Owl righteously took over the situation.

"I'll take this girl. I, Night Owl, hate people who bully the weak the most in my life. I'll take her back and hang her up myself to give her a good beating!"

The Grand Elder came back to its senses, seeing the hooded man standing in the Black Flame clearly, its original shock instantly turning into extremely cold hostility.

"Night Owl?"

The Grand Elder not only didn't thank him, but sneered instead.

Not only it, but the other seven Elders in the air also dispersed with tacit understanding, and as Psionic power surged, they faintly surrounded Night Owl and Su Qing at the bottom of the crater.

Night Owl frowned.

Why do these mad dogs of the Sanctuary have this reaction?

He had helped them stop the target, why did it look like he was the prey too?

"Your Excellency Night Owl, save it, you can't take anyone away today."

The Grand Elder stared down at the deep crater, its tone stiff, carrying an undeniable arrogance and coldness.

"On the contrary, you have to stay here today too!"

The eyes beneath the hood of Night Owl at the bottom of the crater narrowed slightly, the violent S-Rank Black Flame around him faintly showing signs of running wild.

He, a dignified legendary Monster Hunter, had never suffered such indignity.

"Are people from the Sanctuary this crazy now? I helped you intercept the person, and you're turning around to fight me?"

The Grand Elder was unmoved; instead, it cupped its hands and bowed extremely respectfully toward the sky.

"The girl you are stepping on has completely angered our top leadership!"

The Grand Elder shouted sternly.

"We received a death order to capture Dark Blade alive and hand her over to the current Saintess for disposal!"

Then, the Grand Elder changed the subject, reaching out and pointing sharply at Night Owl in the crater, even its white beard trembling with excitement.

"As for you, Night Owl! Don't pretend to be some messenger of justice here! Your behavior of disturbing the peace last night seriously affected the studies of the students in Linhai."

"The former Saintess issued the highest wanted order this morning! She demands that our Sanctuary people, as long as we see Dark Blade and you, Night Owl, must beat you hard and make you two lie in bed for three full months!"

The Grand Elder stared at Night Owl, its words resonant, its Aura imposing.

"Truly, it took no effort to find what one was looking for! Today, you two sinners actually gathered together, just in time for us to wipe you out in one go and go back to report to the two Saintesses!"

Once these words were spoken, the whole scene fell into dead silence again.

Su Qing, who was lying in the mud and vomiting blood crazily, was stunned.

Is Big Brother's charm spell of eating soft rice so powerful?

Even the former Saintess of the Sanctuary wants to stand up for him?!

And Night Owl, who was standing at the bottom of the crater with his foot firmly on his own daughter, was completely frozen.

Beneath the hood, this world-renowned legendary Monster Hunter's brain crashed directly, his face full of disbelief and confusion.

What the hell?!

Seriously affected the studies of Linhai students?

Can't let it go, right!

Is this former Saintess of the Sanctuary sick?!

I haven't even seen what she looks like!

Last night, I just exchanged a few moves with this little brat downstairs in my residential complex to snatch a monster, how did I provoke her?

Because of this, she actually sent eight A-Rank Peaks to beat me until I lie in bed for three months?!

Is there any justice left? Is there any law left?
