Chapter 11 Arrest

"Yun Bai?!"

"You aren't dead?!"

Just as the shocked shouts of Chen Qiang and Li Pazi escaped their lips, the blood-stained short sword in Yun Bai's hand transformed into a cold light that tore through the air, filled with endless killing intent!

"Clang—!"

The sword hummed like a Dragon's roar! The silver light resembled an angry Dragon emerging from the sea, carrying a violent force that crushed everything, savagely biting toward Li Pazi!

*Splurt!*

A scalp-tingling sound of a sharp blade entering flesh!

Li Pazi's arm, which had been tightly clutching Yun Qian's hair, was severed at the shoulder! The severed arm, accompanied by scalding blood spraying like a fountain, fell limply to the ground!

"Ugh, ah—!!!" Li Pazi barely managed half a scream before the intense pain hit his skull like a heavy hammer. His vision went black, and he actually fainted on the spot!

Yun Bai's figure was like lightning. Before the rain of blood could fall, he had already steadily pulled his sister, Yun Qian, into his arms! His broad shoulders shielded her tightly, not letting a single drop of filthy blood touch her.

"Yun Bai! You're crazy! How dare you use a weapon to hurt someone inside the city! You're dead! No one can save you!" Chen Qiang was so terrified that he felt his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering; his voice even changed pitch as he roared with a fierce expression but a cowardly heart.

"If I'm going to die, you'll be the first to go to Hell!" The enraged Yun Bai was like a prehistoric Vicious Beast that had been completely provoked, with only destruction in his eyes! He carefully carried Yun Qian into the room and set her down on a chair.

When he saw his sister's red and swollen cheeks, the bloodstains on the corner of her mouth, her disheveled clothes, and her teary eyes filled with terror, Yun Bai's heart felt as if it were being tightly squeezed by an invisible giant hand. His boiling blood instantly reversed, rushing straight to his skull.

"Brother..." When she confirmed that this blood-soaked figure before her was truly the brother she thought had already died, Yun Qian could no longer hold back. All her fear, grievances, and lingering fear transformed into surging tears that burst forth.

Yun Bai turned around abruptly! Those eyes, burning like the flames of Hell, locked onto Chen Qiang! He had long since recognized that these two pieces of trash were the same scum who had previously used him as bait at the trial grounds, abandoning him and pushing him into the fangs of the Magic Boar!

If he hadn't desperately opened a black hole to survive, how would he have guessed that these two beasts had killed him because they had long coveted his family assets and schemed to bully the sister he treasured as his life!

Looking at his sister, who was crying like a tear-stained person, Yun Bai felt not only monstrous rage in his heart but also deep self-reproach—he shouldn't have delayed on the road!

"Chen Qiang—!!!" A roar containing endless hatred exploded like a thunderclap! Yun Bai's figure shot out, the short sword in his hand turning into a cold, lethal bolt of lightning. With a piercing shriek, it stabbed fiercely and unmatched toward Chen Qiang's heart!

"Yun Bai! Stop! If you kill me, you'll have to pay with your life! Your sister will be finished too!" Chen Qiang was terrified, his soul fleeing, and he scrambled to dodge, only to find that Yun Bai's killing intent was like an invisible cage, locking him in place! He could only hurriedly draw his blade to block!

*Crack!*

Chen Qiang's fine steel long blade was as fragile as mud in the face of the short sword infused with Yun Bai's First Realm spiritual power! It snapped upon contact!

The cold light flashed again!

*Splurt!*

Chen Qiang's right arm, holding the blade, was severed at the elbow! Blood sprayed wildly!

The sword shadow arrived again!

*Slash!*

Chen Qiang's left arm was also severed at the shoulder!

The city's ban on killing? Yun Bai had only boundless hatred in his heart at this moment! Even if he couldn't kill him, he would make him wish he were dead! He wanted to use this sword, one sword at a time, to slice this beast's sins to pieces!

"Stop! Quickly stop!"

A majestic, angry shout approached from afar!

Before the voice had even faded, dozens of city guards in imposing armor and holding weapons swarmed into the small courtyard like a tide, instantly surrounding everyone.

It turned out that Li Pazi, who had woken up at some unknown time, had used his last bit of strength to activate a distress talisman issued by the government.

Yun Bai's cold gaze swept over the soldiers who were facing a formidable enemy, and the corner of his mouth curled into a cruel sneer. He flicked his wrist casually, and the blood-stained short sword flew out of his hand, transforming into a precise, lethal stream of light!

*Splurt!*

"Awooo—!!!" A miserable, inhuman shriek rang out suddenly! The short sword, without deviation, stabbed fiercely between Li Pazi's legs! The extreme pain made his eyes roll back again, and he fainted completely.

Yun Bai no longer looked at that filthy place and turned to walk toward his sister. He instinctively wanted to reach out and hug her, but he suddenly stopped, looking at his blood-stained body, his movements stalling.

Yun Qian's tears had stopped. Seeing her brother's cautious movements, her heart felt sour yet warm, and she actually broke into a tearful smile. She stood up without hesitation and, like a swallow returning to its nest, threw herself into Yun Bai's blood-stained embrace! She wrapped her arms tightly around her brother's waist, burying her face deeply into his solid chest, as if she wanted to embed herself into him and never be separated again.

"Are you okay, Qianqian?" Yun Bai's voice was hoarse with the relief of surviving a disaster, yet infinitely gentle. The name "Qianqian," whether in his hometown in the previous life or in this strange land, belonged only to his only relative.

"Mm, I'm fine, I'm fine..." Yun Qian's voice was muffled, with a heavy nasal tone, "As long as you are okay, Brother..."

She raised her head and looked at the cold, gleaming weapons and the cold faces of the soldiers around them, deep worry welling up in her eyes again, "Brother, they will definitely throw you into prison. Don't worry! I will definitely find evidence, explain the truth to the government, clear your name! Send these two pieces of trash to Hell! And save you!"

Her tone was resolute, her eyes incomparably firm. She had never believed the nonsense used to slander her brother, and at this moment, she was already rapidly calculating a rescue plan in her heart.

A monstrous warm current surged in Yun Bai's heart, almost melting the violent rage from just moments ago.

He rubbed his sister's soft hair, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, he softly comforted her: "Qianqian, don't be afraid. I just passed the State Religion's Cultivator assessment."

Just this one sentence was like an anchor, instantly stabilizing Yun Qian's panicked mind. She looked up abruptly, a light of incredible surprise bursting in her eyes: "Really?! Brother! You had a Breakthrough? You really succeeded? That's great! That's great! Then... then does that mean they don't have the right to arrest you?!"

Of course, she knew the transcendent status of a State Religion Cultivator! That was the backbone that stood independent of the government system, suppressing demons and guarding the Human Race. For cases involving State Religion Cultivators, the local government had no authority to deal with them at all.

"However," Yun Bai shook his head slightly, his voice still low, "After passing the assessment, there are still some procedures and arrangements to go through, and I won't get my identification badge for a few days. The government doesn't know my status yet."

He looked at his sister's face, which had instantly become nervous again, and gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, I'll stay inside for a few days at most. By then, even if they want to keep me, I'm afraid they won't have the guts to do so."

He quickly and extremely covertly stuffed the inconspicuous Storage Pouch at his waist into Yun Qian's hand.

"Qianqian, take this, go to the National Temple in the city, and find a sister named Jiang Shuanger and a brother named Zhang Huai. They will take care of you. Ask them to help you open this pouch." He instructed quickly.

The one in his hand was the most ordinary Storage Pouch, with no Restriction, and anyone with magic power could open it.

Yun Qian tightly grasped the Storage Pouch, which still held her brother's body heat, and nodded heavily, her eyes resolute.

"Kid!" A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of a head constable, with a steady aura, pushed aside the soldiers and walked forward.

He scanned the tragic scene in the courtyard with sharp eyes, lingering for a moment especially on the severed limbs of Chen Qiang and Li Pazi, his expression grave, and he shouted sternly:

"In broad daylight, you dare to use a weapon in the city and hurt someone! As a Cultivator, you knowingly break the law, which is an even graver crime! Severing someone's four limbs, your methods are vicious, and their survival is uncertain! If you are sensible, surrender immediately, and do not make any futile resistance!"

Although the man's words were harsh, they also carried a hint of caution.

This young man before him possessed amazing combat power and acted ruthlessly. Unless necessary, he did not want to trigger a conflict here.

"Officers," Yun Bai let go of his sister and stepped forward, a calm smile on his face, showing no intention of resisting, "I will go with you. As for my sister, she is not really related to this matter, so there is no need for her to go along, right?"

"Hmph!" The head constable snorted coldly, glanced at Yun Qian's disheveled clothes and the injuries on her face, having already guessed seven or eight parts of the truth, his tone indifferent, "The case is of great importance. Although your sister is not the main culprit, she is an important witness and must be ready to be summoned at any time! Take her along!"

He stopped looking at Yun Bai and turned to shout to his subordinates: "Quickly carry the wounded to the nearest medical hall! Collect the severed limbs! Move quickly!"

The constables, who were already prepared, acted immediately, carefully wrapping the severed arms and limbs on the ground with white cloth, and efficiently carried the mutilated bodies of Chen Qiang and Li Pazi, who were now left with only their torsos, onto stretchers, hurrying out of the small courtyard.

The head constable knew well that if they delayed for even a moment longer, these two would likely be beyond saving even by the gods.

The soldiers split into a few, holding shackles, and cautiously surrounded Yun Bai.

The moment the steel shackles locked his wrists, he looked up toward the direction of the State Religion. Sunlight passed through the clouds, forming a bright pillar of light—once he got his identification badge, these debts would have to be settled clearly.
