Chapter 573 - 241: Ruthless Measures, Thunderous Action!
Even without any overt display of pressure, an invisible force could still be felt.
It was as if it were a towering mountain, an imposing peak!
The people in the courtyard were instantly filled with doubt, whispering amongst themselves again.
Saint Son?
They had never heard of any Saint Son in the Li Mo Sect.
Who is this guy?
He looks so young.
Jiang Shi’s gaze swept over them and quickly settled lightly on a few people within the crowd, pointing at them with a finger, "You, come out!"
The people he pointed at had a slight change in their expressions, their hearts skipped a beat, and they started to struggle violently.
"What? Unwilling to come out?"
Jiang Shi’s tone was calm.
"Saint Son, but... but what mistakes have we made?"
A middle-aged shopkeeper who was pointed at asked nervously.
"Indeed, I just learned that you hail from the Seven Eastern Sea Races."
Jiang Shi’s voice was calm as he said, "Apart from you few, an Undersea Person has also infiltrated, which truly is beyond my expectations."
The people who were just called out immediately showed drastic changes in their expressions, feeling incredulous.
"Saint Son, you... you are clearly framing us. We are loyal and devoted; how could we be from the Seven Eastern Sea Races? I, Mr. Han, have followed the Sect Leader for many years. My loyalty can be verified by the sun and moon. Saint Son, you must give me an explanation!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper hurriedly shouted in anger.
"Yes, Saint Son, we are all wronged. How can you falsely accuse us like this?"
"Elder, we can’t be undercover agents. We are being wronged!"
...
The people who were called out began to shout in panic.
Elder Wang Rui looked puzzled and turned to Jiang Shi.
"Wronged? Even if you are wronged, better to kill by mistake than allow someone to escape. Therefore, you might as well die!"
Jiang Shi’s eyes flashed as he quickly delivered a palm strike directly at the middle-aged shopkeeper in the crowd.
Elder Wang Rui’s expression changed slightly as he opened his mouth to stop it, but before he could, the middle-aged shopkeeper suddenly roared, and his whole figure rapidly swelled, instantly transforming into more than five meters tall. The human skin mask on his face exploded, and he shouted, "I’ll hold him off; you all run!!"
BOOM!
As soon as the words fell, his body shattered immediately on the spot, pieces of entrails and bones flying messily, dead beyond measure.
"Hold me off? You were brave to even say that!"
Jiang Shi’s voice was cold, as he looked at the remaining few in the crowd, his body flickered, moving as fast as lightning, impossible to catch.
The few of them were all shocked deep in their hearts, no longer daring to argue, quickly turning and fleeing as fast as they could. However, to Jiang Shi, their speed was pathetically slow.
These individuals were generally at the Seventh and Eighth Heavens of the Holy Spirit Realm.
Facing Jiang Shi’s Blood Pill Sixth Realm was akin to being oppressed by overwhelming force.
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Almost simultaneously, each of their backs was struck by a finger, their bodies crackling like firecrackers, instantly exploding.
Then Jiang Shi reappeared, face calm, blood unstained, emerging not far away, gazing at a water tank in the courtyard.
"You Undersea People have indeed peculiar talents. Can you hide in any place with water? A mere small water tank also serves as your hiding place, expanding my horizons indeed!"
Everyone was taken aback, quickly looking towards the moss-covered gray water tank in the courtyard.
"Undersea Person over there?"
Elder Wang Rui’s color changed dramatically, roaring fiercely, delivering a palm strike towards the small water tank. Her palm power was sinister and cold like icy crystals, and as she struck, even the air seemed to freeze.
BAM!
The water tank exploded.
All the liquid inside was instantly frozen into ice.
A nearly transparent, hazy human figure leapt out of the shattered water tank, eyes cold, first glancing at Jiang Shi, then flickered away, merging into the sewers on one side, attempting to escape along it.
Jiang Shi’s eyes turned cold.
"Thinking of leaving under my nose! Get back here!"
BOOM!
Just as the hazy figure tried to enter the sewer, Jiang Shi’s foot suddenly stomped hard on the ground above like a Demon Dragon turning over, akin to an ancient giant elephant in rage.
The power of this stomp was unknown, but it caused the whole courtyard to shake violently as if an eight-magnitude earthquake occurred. A tremendously horrific force followed the ground and poured into the sewer.
BAM!
Though the Undersea Person had already blended into the water and was incredibly fast in his reactivity, Jiang Shi’s sudden hit still made him let out a miserable cry, forcibly ejected from the sewer.
In mid-air, the body abruptly shattered into pieces.
Sticky light blue blood sprayed around, carrying the fishy smell of a dead fish, soaking the ground everywhere.
Everyone’s bodies shook, filled with astonishment as if they were looking at a monster - at Jiang Shi.
This Saint Son... who exactly is he?
"Saint Son, does this... does this mean it’s all settled?"
Elder Wang Rui looked shocked, seemingly not fully comprehending, hurriedly speaking.
"Yes, without any accident, the undercover agents mingling in your Li Mo Sect are settled, but how many are left in the city, I cannot say."
Jiang Shi’s tone remained smooth as he glanced at Elder Wang Rui, saying, "Go inform the Venerable Black Tortoise to lead the top ranks immediately to Zuo Mansion in the North City and wait for me!"
