278: Chapter 278 If you don't die, this God Emperor won't be at peace!

Suddenly!

Outside the window, the falling leaves spinning in the air, the sycamore tree constantly swaying in the wind, and the ticking clock inside the room—in that instant, everything froze. The world paused in a very eerie way!

"Yin-Yang Celestial Master ability, activate for This Divine Emperor!"

The Taiji diagram spun rapidly and slammed into Jiang Lan's brow! A stream of scorching heat flowed from Jiang Lan's brow and trickled into his body.

A warmth like a furnace quickly spread throughout Jiang Lan's entire body, surging from his tailbone straight up to his crown!

Five tadpole-shaped, immortal-white light spots suddenly ignited on Jiang Lan's brow and began to rotate slowly!

Behind his crisp, ink-black suit, a large Taiji Bagua diagram rotated silently!

Jiang Lan had activated the Yin-Yang Celestial Master state!

Jiang Lan tried to project his Divine Sense. It was like having a god's-eye view; his perspective rose continuously, reaching a thousand meters into the sky, where he could clearly see everything within a five-kilometer radius!

Because the Twelve Espionage Guards had a mutual sense between them, Jiang Lan saw at a glance eleven old geezers wearing black trench coats and black sunglasses, distributed in different street locations throughout Jiangzhou City.

Each person held a device with a cold, metallic sheen, resembling a dashboard, and they were creeping toward his home!

"This Divine Emperor guessed correctly; it really is you eleven old geezers. Die for This Divine Emperor... Wait, what the f*ck!? Who are those people?"

He saw that behind each of the eleven old geezers followed hundreds of burly men in suits, wearing sunglasses and headsets. The key was that on each burly man's wrists and ankles, one could clearly see devices resembling hydraulic rods!

This meant that the thousands of burly men in suits, wearing sunglasses and headsets, were all "killing machines" modified through human-machine modification technology!

One had to know that although these burly men modified through human-machine modification technology were not as powerful as the Twelve Espionage Guards, they were not far off!

If it were just those eleven old geezers, Jiang Lan could definitely kill them all. But now, with over 1,000 additional human-machine modified burly men, if he were to engage them head-on, Jiang Lan would surely die!

Jiang Lan deactivated the Yin-Yang Celestial Master state, and the Taiji diagram slowly flew back to the side of the Time Stop mechanical numbers, rotating silently once more!

Jiang Lan rubbed his thumb against his middle finger, drawing an elegant arc in the air!

"Snap!"

As the sound of the snap suddenly rang out, the falling leaves spinning in the air outside the window, the sycamore tree constantly swaying in the wind, and the ticking clock inside the room all began to move again. Time Stop was lifted!

Jiang Lan glanced at the Time Stop mechanical numbers in front of him: [00:12:05].

F*ck! Just by looking at these eleven old geezers, I wasted 30 seconds of This Divine Emperor's time!

Old geezers, you must die!

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, striking directly onto Kang'an Residential Quarter, casting a faint, golden halo over the already white and yellow complex.

Kang'an Residential Quarter was enjoying its usual afternoon tranquility. Only the wind kept teasing the tree branches, making a soft rustling sound.

Suddenly!

The roar of an engine rang out, tearing the afternoon tranquility of Kang'an Residential Quarter to shreds!

A drop-dead handsome young man, wearing a crisp, ink-black suit studded with star-like diamonds, drove a latest limited-edition phantom sr sports car, roaring like a beast as it rushed out of the Kang'an Residential Quarter underground garage!

Suddenly!

The rear wheels of the phantom sr locked up, plowing a black skid mark on the ground. With a beautiful drift, the car swung out of the residential area at an extremely domineering and tricky angle, merged onto the main road, and kicked up clouds of dust!

The rear wheels of the phantom sr suddenly exerted force, creating a teeth-grinding "Screech! Screech!" sound as they rubbed against the ground. The rear of the car swayed a few times before it shot off like a cannonball, leaving behind a few afterimages and vanishing at the end of the road!

That's right!

The drop-dead handsome young man, wearing a crisp, ink-black suit studded with star-like diamonds, was none other than Jiang Lan!

He was driving the phantom sr, speeding toward the Yuyuan Villa Hall in the western suburbs of Jiangzhou!

Yuyuan Villa Hall was a place in Jiangzhou specializing in the sale of estates and villas!

That's right! Jiang Lan was going to buy an estate!

As a future God Emperor with 800 million in cash, an estate, plus three Young Maidens swaying their perky buttocks while cooking, could barely match the status of a God Emperor!

The most critical thing was that his residence had been targeted by the Twelve Espionage Guards, so he definitely could not go back. Moving to the estate in the western suburbs first meant they would certainly not be able to find him for a while.

Once Jiang Lan accumulated more shock value and replenished the time for the Time Stop skill to over 60 minutes, he would definitely slaughter all eleven of these old geezers!

Eleven old geezers, if you do not die, This Divine Emperor will not be at peace!

...

Deep within the six major sects of the Demon Spirit Realm, inside the secret chamber where the Old Ancestors were in seclusion, six elders with white hair and beards opened their eyes almost simultaneously!

"Hehe... Eighth Junior Brother, you actually died! As for that bridge-crossing fee, this Senior Brother will have to tearfully collect it for you! Someone come! Pass on my order! All Disciples at the Foundation Establishment Realm and above, target the Demon Wind Sect, set out immediately!"

"Eighth Junior Brother, you deserved it! If you had taken out the bridge-crossing fee earlier to share, and we Senior Brothers had helped you guard the Demon Wind Sect, how could you have met such a disaster! Strike the bell! All Core Disciples, gather at the main peak hall immediately for a meeting!"

"..."

Of the seven major sects in the Demon Realm, except for the Crane Immortal Sect of the deceased Crane Immortal, the over one hundred thousand Cultivators from the other six major sects took to the air almost simultaneously, stepping on their Flying Swords. Tearing through the air with a "Hum! Hum!" metallic vibrating sound, they flew toward the Demon Wind Sect!

In front of the Demon Wind Sect's guardian formation, a man in his twenties with a black whirlwind mark burning on his brow had his body split evenly in two!

Warm blood, like blood-red earthworms, wriggled on the cold ground, staining the earth beneath him a vibrant red. It looked exactly like a blood-red rose, blooming wantonly on the cold land of the Cultivation World!

That's right!

The man in his twenties with a black whirlwind burning on his brow, who had been split evenly in two, was Master Mo Fengzi!

Ten zhang behind Master Mo Fengzi lay a corpse that had been scorched charcoal-black by crackling electric currents, emitting wisps of white smoke.

Blood crawled out like earthworms from the corpse's eyes, nostrils, mouth corners, and ear canals, making people's hair stand on end and their scalps tingle!

The smell of scorched animal flesh mixed with a rusty, bloody stench wafted from the body!

The corpse that had been scorched charcoal-black by crackling electric currents and was emitting wisps of white smoke was Master Mo Fengzi's only direct Disciple, Mo Yuan.
