97: Crush them

What was your rank in the national Martial Examination?

Lu Yuan's single sentence left Xing Chenyu speechless!

"The Martial Examination doesn't prove anything."

Xing Chenyu said after a long silence.

He had been disqualified from the Martial Examination for assaulting a candidate without authorization.

If not for the high settlement fee paid off-stage, he would probably still be in jail.

"The Martial Examination indeed proves nothing, so what was your rank?" Lu Yuan pressed.

Xing Chenyu's face turned ashen.

In the top-floor office, a group of people in suits swiftly exited the elevator.

Their ages varied, both men and women, with Censorate badges pinned to their clothes.

The leader, a middle-aged man around forty-five or forty-six with long, narrow eyes, was expressionless.

"Prosecutor Wang, I've already sent someone to retrieve the information you requested, and it will be delivered to you immediately."

He watched the Prosperous senior executive beside him, who kept smiling apologetically but was always beating around the bush.

Wang Zhijian suppressed his anger.

"Where is your chairman?"

"The chairman is meeting with an important guest, so for now..."

"I'll say it again, where is Xing Wenan?!"

Wang Zhijian forcefully interrupted the Prosperous senior executive.

Although he was a Transcendent Realm Practitioner, and the Prosperous senior executive receiving him was a Domain Realm Practitioner.

His aura completely overwhelmed him!

As an experienced Prosecutor of the Censorate, Wang Zhijian was furious.

He had been at the Hengsheng Headquarters for over two hours, and the people here kept giving him the runaround.

Did they really not take the Censorate seriously?

"Office."

Without knocking, Wang Zhijian led the Prosecutors directly inside.

Looking at the messy office, Wang Zhijian's gaze fell on Lu Yuan.

"Chairman Xing couldn't kill Lu Yuan in the No Mans Land, so he wants to make a move in Pengcheng?"

Wang Zhijian was incredibly oppressive, his eyes reflecting a cold light.

Hearing this, Xing Wenan remained unperturbed.

"Prosecutor Wang is joking. Prosperous has never done anything illegal, so where does this talk of assassinating Lu Yuan come from?"

"Heh heh."

Wang Zhijian smiled without warmth.

The Censorate?

Lu Yuan recognized that these people were from the Censorate, here to investigate Prosperous.

The Censorate is an official organization that oversees China's judicial department.

Behind Wang Zhijian stood an elder dressed in fiery red attire. From his clothing, it was easy to identify him as an elder of the Crimson Flame Alliance.

When the Censorate investigates cases, members of the Seven Alliances and One Hall supervise each other.

The level of supervision depends on the case, with an elder representing the highest level!

"Prosecutors, please wait a moment while I entertain my honored guest," Xing Wenan said.

Wang Zhijian nodded.

There was still plenty of time; he just needed to confirm that Xing Wenan was at the Hengsheng Headquarters.

Learning that Lu Yuan was going to fight Xing Chenyu, Wang Zhijian's expression was strange, and he exchanged a glance with Bi Zhenhai, the elder of the Crimson Flame Alliance.

They didn't know what Xing Wenan was plotting, nor could they understand why Lu Yuan would agree.

At this moment, the Censorate had already begun investigating Prosperous, and the truth would be revealed soon enough.

What Lu Yuan needed to do was simple.

During this time, he should honestly stay at Pengcheng University and not go out casually, especially not to the No Mans Land.

"Lu Yuan, even if I can't kill you, severely injuring you would be good too."

Xing Chenyu, who had been provoked by Lu Yuan two or three times, smiled playfully.

He knew about his father's feud with Tang Jinghui, and why his father repeatedly targeted Lu Yuan.

And Xing Chenyu hated Tang Jinghui!

After being disqualified from the Martial Examination for assaulting a candidate without authorization, Xing Chenyu had once sought to become Tang Jinghui's disciple.

Xing Chenyu could never forget that day when his grandfather, father, mother, and entire family were turned away by Tang Jinghui.

"I cannot teach you."

Tang Jinghui's words and expression at the time were vivid in his memory. Xing Chenyu clenched his fists, transferring his hatred for Tang Jinghui to Lu Yuan.

Why did Tang Jinghui accept Lu Yuan as a disciple but not him?

Furthermore, his background and talent were a hundred, even a thousand times better than Fu Jingjie's!

Yet Tang Jinghui still didn't choose him, instead taking Fu Jingjie as a disciple.

And he even paid out of his own pocket to provide cultivation resources for Fu Jingjie!

"Xing Chenyu's Divine Power is called [Dark Surge]. He summons Skeleton Monsters that are enhanced, unlike ordinary Dark Attribute Professionals," Tang Jinghui warned.

Lu Yuan nodded.

He would not underestimate any opponent.

Although in his opinion, no matter what Divine Power Xing Chenyu comprehended, he was ultimately just a Divine Power Realm Practitioner.

He could easily defeat Law Realm Practitioners, let alone Xing Chenyu, who was only in the Divine Power Realm.

Everyone entered the elevator and went downstairs.

Lu Yuan is a Puppet Master, controlling Puppet Corps to fight; Xing Chenyu is a Dark Attribute Professional, controlling Skeleton Legions to fight.

Although their professions are different, their fighting styles are similar.

Therefore, Xing Wenan specifically chose an open area.

"Sign this electronic contract."

More and more people gathered, mostly Prosperous employees.

Watching Lu Yuan and Chairman's son Xing Chenyu stare at each other, looking ready to fight.

The Prosperous employees were curious, wondering what had happened.

Ignoring the onlookers, Wang Zhijian, from the Censorate and in charge of investigating the Lu Yuan incident, took out his phone.

With the emergence of Practitioners, laws targeting them had long been perfected.

Practitioners are allowed to fight in the city, but they must sign a contract.

The contract's contents are complex, for example, strictly prohibiting damage to public facilities, with compensation for damages at original cost.

The most important clause is not to kill the opponent; this is the bottom line!

Even if the contract is signed and the opponent is killed, corresponding responsibility must still be borne.

Lu Yuan decisively signed his name, and Xing Chenyu on the opposite side also did not hesitate.

At this moment, the contract officially took effect.

Divine Power Realm Peak against Divine Power Realm One-Star, the advantage is mine!

Xing Wenan instantly summoned hundreds of Skeleton Heavy Cavalry, and the Dark Attribute symbol on his brow flickered.

"Lu Yuan, just wait to have your legs broken and beg for mercy on your knees!" Xing Chenyu sneered.

Hundreds of Skeleton Heavy Cavalry, all at the Divine Power Realm Peak.

Additionally, their armor was dark green, including their weapons.

Clearly, this was the ability of Xing Chenyu's comprehended Divine Power [Dark Surge]!

"A Dark Attribute Professional," Wang Zhijian, in charge of the investigation, sighed.

Compared to other attributes, Dark Attribute is strong from beginning to end.

The higher the realm, the stronger the summoned Skeleton Monsters. Hundreds of Divine Power Realm Peak Skeleton Heavy Cavalry, reinforced by comprehended Divine Power.

That is to say, Xing Chenyu is at the Divine Power Realm Peak, and due to the peculiarity of the Power of Law, he is not an opponent for a Law Realm Professional.

When he breaks through to the Law Realm, he might be able to fight across multiple minor realms!

"Is that all?"

Looking at the hundreds of Skeleton Heavy Cavalry summoned by Xing Chenyu, clad in dark green armor and wielding dark green weapons.

Lu Yuan smiled.

Just a hundred Skeleton Heavy Cavalry, and he's acting so arrogant, even wanting to break his legs and make him beg for mercy on his knees.

A white light emanated from the storage ring.

Under the sunlight, thousands of Blood Slaughter Soldiers appeared!

A pungent smell of blood instantly spread outwards. The Blood Slaughter Soldiers put away their shields, their battle knives pointing directly at Xing Chenyu.

Zzzzzz—

The sound of electricity crackled, and the heavenly punishment soldiers raised their long spears high.

The dazzling Raikiri rapidly expanded from the size of a basketball, and the onlookers were terrified as they watched the increasingly massive Raikiri.

Warhorses neighed, and the Ten Thousand Bone Legion, enveloped in demonic energy, let out a battle roar!

The Star Swallowing Legion, the Eternal Drowning Legion... the Nine Great Marionette Corps were ready to go, their numbers instantly surpassing Xing Chenyu's Skeleton Heavy Cavalry.

"Crush them!"

With Lu Yuan's command, the Puppet Corps charged straight towards Xing Chenyu!
