248: Sentenced to death and executed on the spot

The presidential suite, filled with laughter and chatter, instantly fell silent.

Someone gasped, their wine glass involuntarily tilting.

But before the wine in the glass could spill, the Qi and Blood Dragon Hand that had pierced through Lin Sen's chest transformed into thousands of tiny, hair-thin needles, raining down on the six people present.

The brawny man, who was sitting at the dining table chewing on something, raised an eyebrow when he saw the dense, fine needles, then took a deep breath and opened his mouth:

"Roar~"

The minced meat in his mouth was instantly pulverized, and a sonic wave swept through the room, tearing it apart while also shattering the thousand-fold Qi and Blood needles.

"Heh~" The brawny man glanced at the blue-clad woman beside him. Seeing her subtly shake her head, he picked up a beef leg and brought it to his mouth:

"A Qi Blood Dragon Transformation Realm Martial Arts Grandmaster, not even daring to show his face?"

"You're disgracing the Martial Arts Grandmasters..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly turned his head, looking at the street-facing wall with a horrified expression.

Five bloody claw marks, dozens of meters long, seemed to come from beyond the heavens, cutting into the wall and sweeping through the entire presidential suite in an instant.

"Ch-ch-ch-ch~"

Amidst the sound of a hot knife cutting through butter, appliances, furniture, and even the four Awakened who had been temporarily boosted to City-Level by deer blood, were instantly sliced into several pieces by the bloody claw marks.

Only the brawny man and the blue-clad woman, who already possessed City-Level combat power, reacted quickly enough.

The former stomped on the floor, shattering it with his Qi and Blood, and dodged downstairs, while the latter transformed into a mist to avoid the fatal blow.

"Bang~"

With a booming sound, Yang Dian, who had broken through the wall, strode into the presidential suite.

He glanced at the tall young woman who had walked out of the bedroom after hearing the commotion, only wrapped in a bedsheet, and began to scream loudly upon seeing the scattered body parts on the floor.

He swept his gaze over Lan Caier, who had reformed from mist into human shape, her face filled with lingering fear and terror.

Yang Dian raised his hand and pointed at the floor that the brawny man had shattered.

star matter emerged from his body, transforming into dozens of hiltless longswords that, like swimming fish, poured into the hole, directly striking the brawny man who had landed and was attempting to leap back upstairs.

Listening to the roars coming from downstairs, Yang Dian flicked his finger and said:

"Li Linwu, Qian Xianzhu, Lin Youfeng, Su Xian'er, Zhao Qizhao, are guilty of treason, rape, murder, and other crimes."

"With multiple crimes, they are sentenced to death and to be executed on the spot."

"Roar~" Li Linwu roared from downstairs, blocking the star longswords clinging to his back.

Then, without hesitation, he pulled out a specially made syringe and injected it into his neck.

"Awoo~" As an inhuman roar emanated from his mouth, countless black keratin layers surged from his pores, coalescing into an incredibly dark keratin armor.

"I want you dead!"

Li Linwu, his eyeballs filled with countless blood vessels, had just roared in fury when he saw a figure appear in front of his head.

He instinctively threw a punch, but the blow, infused with his entire body's immense strength, was parried by Yang Dian with a single hand.

Yang Dian's body, suspended in mid-air, didn't even budge.

"How is this possible?" Li Linwu questioned his reality, but Yang Dian didn't stop.

The Qi and Blood emerging from his body condensed into a Dragon Claw and Dragon scales, and he gently squeezed.

"Hmph~~"

As Li Linwu grunted, Yang Dian, who had just crushed his finger bones, controlled the Qi and Blood to form ropes, binding him in mid-air, and praised:

"He's a tough guy, didn't even make a sound when his bones were crushed."

"Just a bit lacking in strength."

"I thought you'd be much stronger after taking those genetic agents from the Americans."

"Turns out you just grow a layer of keratin on the outside for defense?"

"Tsk, this keratin layer is pretty good, it can even hinder Qi and Blood conduction."

At this point, Yang Dian, whose hand was already on Li Linwu's head, suddenly realized:

"You wouldn't be thinking of using this keratin layer to resist my Qi and Blood and fight me in close combat, would you?"

In an instant, Yang Dian's fingers slightly flexed, and under Li Linwu's incredulous gaze, the Qi and Blood emanating from his fingertips directly tore through the keratin layer, entering his forehead and exiting the back of his head.

"This is a bit troublesome~"

He mumbled, and the remaining Qi and Blood transformed into hair-thin needles, weaving through the hotel, precisely locating the gangsters and corrupt police under Yang Dian's conscious control.

Then.

In through the front of the head, out through the back.

Dozens of corrupt police and high-ranking gang members, who had heard the commotion upstairs and were hesitating whether to go up and see or just slip away, instantly collapsed.

Yang Dian also collected Li Linwu's corpse and flew back up to the presidential suite.

The keratin layer on Li Linwu's body might not have meant much to Yang Dian.

After all, he had just cultivated the fourth special trait of Dragon Claw Hand: Earth Rend.

In short, his fingers had evolved under the nourishment of energy.

When Qi and Blood surged through his hands, it would become exceptionally sharp, possessing extremely strong penetrating properties.

A light swipe could open a gash in the ground.

It was also because of the Earth Rend trait that he easily tore through the keratin layer that had grown on Li Linwu's body after taking the drug.

But just because he could, didn't mean others could.

"What was that drug called in America?"

"It's called Black Death, a genetic agent specifically created to target energy-based superhumans."

"After injection, it can grow a layer of keratin on the skin outside, depending on the user's Physical Body strength, which insulates against energy damage while also providing strong defense against physical attacks..."

While contemplating, Yang Dian, who had flown back upstairs and arrived in front of Lan Caier, took out a magic-restricting shackle and threw it to her.

Seeing her shackle herself without a word, Yang Dian couldn't help but be a little surprised:

"You're really not going to struggle at all?"

Lan Caier quickly shook her head:

"I trust my intuition."

"It has saved my life many times."

"If I resisted, I would definitely die."

"Tsk." Yang Dian clicked his tongue:

"You wouldn't happen to be a secondary Awakened, would you? And Awakened the ability to sense danger?"

After exclaiming, Yang Dian wrapped Lan Caier in Qi and Blood again, carrying her as he flew outside:

"After Lin Sen and his group failed to ambush me, why did they still think of ambushing me again? What were they thinking?"

Lan Caier glanced at Yang Dian and answered very cautiously:

"Attacking you again was an idea that arose after careful planning by certain members of the Family."

"Firstly, in their eyes, you are relatively righteous, and when you have overwhelming strength, you generally aim to capture enemies alive."

"Secondly, Su Xian'er and the other three were also carefully selected by them."

"Su Xian'er, Zhao Qizhao, and Qian Xianzhu all Awakened innate abilities similar to mental deterrence. Once you entered our ambush range, they would immediately mentally deter you."

"Lin Youfeng could create illusions to confuse your senses."

"The drug in Li Linwu's hand wasn't originally prepared for him; it was prepared for you."

"Once you were confused by the illusions, he would immediately inject you with the drug to restrict your Qi and Blood from leaving your body."

"A Martial Arts Grandmaster who has lost the ability for Qi and Blood to leave their body, while not completely helpless, is much easier to deal with."

At this point, Lan Caier glanced at Yang Dian again:

"It's a pity that their analysis of you was completely wrong."

"They didn't expect you to be so ruthless, directly going for the kill..."
