Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 44 Rules

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The remaining Wang Family Hugging Pill expert yelled lowly and swiftly abandoned Su Nanxing, flying away.

However, before he could escape, Su Nanxing’s movement technique was unleashed, and he quickly caught up.

"Your nephew’s punch made me vomit blood, and you still want to leave?"

The two once again clashed fiercely.

Gu Jinlai swept his gaze across the crowd.

The six individuals with Karma red as blood had been completely slain, leaving mostly those with Light Red Names.

He directly commanded, "This person broke into the Meteor Star Guard Mansion, intending to assassinate me, the garrison commander. Everyone, immediately strike and kill all those he brought with him."

In the end, he added, "Those willing to repent and start anew, I can overlook your previous offenses. Otherwise... All those involved in the rebellion will be thoroughly reckoned with."

The surviving Meteor Star Guards exchanged glances.

They knew this was Gu Jinlai asking them to declare their allegiance.

But...

"Gu Jinlai, do you think Lingxiao City is like your Purgatory Sect, where one person gets to dictate everything? The Meteor Star Guards also have rules to follow. You’ve killed your colleagues, and not only will our Wang Family not let you off, the Meteor Star Guards won’t either!"

The Wang Family Hugging Pill expert shouted.

"Killing colleagues? Who? I only see a traitorous conspirator plotting rebellion."

As Gu Jinlai spoke, he chuckled lightly, "Even if I really killed a colleague... as long as none of you live to get out, who will know what happened today?"

The next moment, bursting with energy, he took bold, meteoric strides and ferociously charged at the last Wang Family Hugging Pill expert.

"You talk to me about rules?"

Before he arrived, the heavy sword in his hand sliced out a fierce Sword Gang that tore through the air, killing from ten steps away.

"Not good!"

The Hugging Pill expert’s face changed, and he swiftly backed away to dodge.

But at almost the same moment, the Sighing Dragon Technique he had begun to master was unleashed.

This top-secret technique from the Tianyuan Dao stimulated acupoints in the body, transforming the cultivator as if from human to dragon, capable of unleashing incredible might.

Even the widespread Burning Yuan Technique paled in comparison.

Under the power of the secret technique, a dragon’s roar seemed to resound from within Su Nanxing’s body. His sharp sword shone with a splendid and dazzling light, like a dragon extending its claw. The Hugging Pill expert sensed the imminent danger, but before he could react, his Protective True Qi was shattered by the thunderous force, and his body was pierced through.

"You..."

The Hugging Pill expert stared in disbelief.

"Hiss!"

With a flick of the long sword, Su Nanxing completely shredded his body, "Master, he understands the rules now."

"The lad is teachable."

Gu Jinlai nodded and turned his attention back to the crowd, "You only have one chance! If you do not act against the Wang Family now, all Meteor Star Guards will be treated as accomplices to these rebels and executed on the spot!"

Upon finishing, he extended a finger, "I will count once, one..."

Almost as he extended his finger, the surviving guards such as Zhao Fan exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and charged at the Wang Family’s Young Masters.

"Too insane!"

These people were utterly bewildered.

They couldn’t understand how the situation had taken such a drastic turn for the worse.

However...

Gu Jinlai gave them no time to think.

Count once?

They were fighting for their lives!

The outcome of offending the Wang Family members was unknown to them.

But if they didn’t take action now, they would not leave the Meteor Star Guard City West Branch alive today.

Over a dozen Meteor Star Guards charged into the midst of the Wang Family, quickly stirring up a storm of bloodshed.

"No!"

"Zhao Fan, Zhang Shanshi, our Wang Family will not let you off!"

"Kill, let’s fight our way out!"

Piercing cries echoed from among the people in the courtyard.

This chaos lasted for less than a minute before swiftly subsiding.

The Meteor Star Guards, with their numerical and positional advantage, swiftly slew all the Wang Family Disciples to the last man.

"Very well." novelbuddy.cσ๓

Gu Jinlai calmly spoke as he watched each member of the Meteor Star Guard holding a blood knife.

Dragging a giant sword that was two meters long, with a blade that ensured no one survived its strike, he looked toward the people in the field, "Let’s talk about how Wang Dongyu and the others died."

Having said that, he turned to the only remaining Hugging Pill, Zhao Fan, "You first."

"Wang Dongyu... corrupted the law for personal gain and even resisted arrest with violence after being exposed, seriously injuring his colleagues. In desperation, he did not hesitate to call for assistance from the Wang Family, attempting to start a rebellion..."

Zhao Fan started hesitantly, but as he continued, his tone became smoother and his voice louder, seemingly convinced of his own words, assertively stating, "Fortunately, the Lord Guardian’s cultivation is profound and his wisdom and valor allowed us to completely annihilate these traitorous culprits and execute them on the spot."

"Yes, yes, yes, it was all Wang Dongyu’s fault!"

"Thanks to the Lord Guardian for restoring order, the Meteor Star Guard City West Branch can finally see the light of day again and witness the light."

"Wang Dongyu, wielding the power of the Wang Family, attempted to rebel, and the Lord executed them on the spot. This action firmly safeguarded the dignity of our Meteor Star Guard and is truly a great achievement."

The surviving members of the Meteor Star Guard echoed one after another.

Fearing that speaking too slowly would result in them being executed on the spot by the blood-soaked old devil before them, who nonetheless had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Good, note it down, and send it to the Supervision Department."

Gu Jinlai extended his hand.

Soon, Nian Buwang took out paper and pen, recorded the charges against Wang Dongyu and the others, and handed them to him.

"Everyone, please sign your names jointly," he said.

Gu Jinlai pushed the document of charges in front of the leading members of the Meteor Star Guard.

The guards exchanged glances.

Looking at Gu Jinlai and Su Nanxing’s eager gaze, they ultimately stepped forward and signed their names.

"Very good, from now on, we are all on the same side."

Gu Jinlai nodded, "Now that we’re on the same side, there’s no need to hide things like the register and the account books from me anymore, right?"

"We will bring them to the Lord Guardian at once," Zhao Fan said earnestly.

"That’s right," Gu Jinlai waved his hand, "Clean up the courtyard."

...

In the inner courtyard, Gu Chaoyang approached and whispered, "Patriarch, are we really okay doing this... "

"I have my reasons," Gu Jinlai calmly said, "The Purgatory Sect, Changjun City, and Starlight City are one thing, but a city like Lingxiao City is not worth our hesitation."

"But..."

"Moreover..." Gu Jinlai sneered, "Don’t you think that this way of doing things is quite refreshing?"

Seeing that the Patriarch seemed to have his own considerations, and recalling his display of strength at the Heavenly Grass Pavilion...

A Refining God Giant probably wasn’t much different.

Thereupon, he nodded, "I understand. Also, the Family Head has sent word that he has selected thirty loyal cultivators who are proficient in refining the organs and blood exchange, and they should arrive at Lingxiao City within a day or two."

"Good," Gu Jinlai nodded, "Meteor Star Guards are numerous and familiar with the area around Lingxiao City; it’s perfect for them to search for the devil’s whereabouts. Once they find traces of the devil, they can begin their cultivation."

"Yes," Gu Chaoyang respectfully acknowledged.

"Make sure the new casting platform and related materials are equipped as quickly as possible," Gu Jinlai instructed, pausing slightly, "Additionally, you and Nian Buwang have both reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, it’s time for a breakthrough. Take ten thousand taels and purchase a bottle of Qi Refining Pills."

"Thank you, Patriarch," Gu Chaoyang said, his eyes showing a hint of joy.

"Go now," Gu Jinlai gestured with his hand.

Once Gu Chaoyang left, Gu Jinlai asked Su Nanxing to continue guarding the door, while he himself immersed his Divine Sense into the spirit world.

After expending one Qingguang, six still remained.

In contrast, his Karma had accumulated to twelve layers.

"Twelve layers of Karma—what does that mean?"

With a faint smile on his face, Gu Jinlai appeared unruffled, "It means nothing; it just proves that luring enemies will become easier in the future, which is a good thing."
