Chapter 1273: Caught You

A figure wearing a black enforcer's trench coat slowly stopped in front of the Nanhai Police Station.

Han Meng's gaze swept across the surroundings. At that moment, the entire police station was still calm and uneventful, with groups of police officers going out on patrol and occasionally citizens coming in to report cases. He looked up and saw a sealed building, resembling a gray chimney, situated in the corner of the police station.

He walked straight in that direction.

“Hello, are you here to report a case?”

Han Meng’s attire was too conspicuous. As soon as he entered the police station, he was stopped by an officer who scrutinized his figure, seemingly puzzled.

“Move.” Han Meng had no time to waste on him and stepped forward, attempting to force his way inside.

The officer was startled and was about to call for backup to stop him, but the next moment, a deafening roar erupted from the direction of the gray prison!

Boom—!!!

The ground trembled violently. People inside the police station thought it was an earthquake and ran out screaming.

As they reached outside the police station, they saw, not far away, a gray prison rising spirally into the sky as if carried on the back of a massive earth dragon, with clouds of dust swirling wildly around it!

“Oh no! The prison is under enemy attack!!”

“Why didn’t we receive an emergency signal!?”

“Never mind! Quick!! Recall all star-ranked officers on patrol!!”

“Even a Six-Star officer couldn’t stop them. We might not have enough personnel… Hurry and get someone from the Pu family!!”

Seeing this, Han Meng’s eyes narrowed, and his figure, like a black bolt of lightning, rapidly surged towards the towering prison!!

After he departed, several other figures rushed out from various parts of the police station, converging from all directions to surround the prison atop the earth dragon's back.

Crackle—

Two lightning serpents crashed down inside the prison, visibly cracking the ground. Countless sharp stone spikes pierced into the figure of the Sixth Stage being, and dazzling lightning burst forth upon it!

The lightning serpents were not real serpents, but rather snake-like effects created by Chen Ling constantly altering the shape of the electric shock columns. As the two lightning serpents struck the Sixth Stage being, they locked his body like thorns, and with Chen Ling continuously increasing the current intensity, they had already transformed into an enhanced electric chair!

Electricity continuously coursed over the Sixth Stage being's body. With his current physical strength, he wouldn't be severely injured by the electricity, but Chen Ling had already inflicted numerous wounds on his body. Each time the high-voltage current passed near the wounds, intense pain stimulated his nerves, making him let out waves of pained howls.

“Chen Ling!!!”

The Sixth Stage being struggled to break free from the stone spikes, but at some point, a large quantity of red paper had appeared beside him. These papers climbed onto his body like chains, resembling a writhing crimson sea, trapping him within.

Chen Ling's Twisted Divine Path was only at the peak of the Fifth Stage, but after two Slaying Malice events, the power of Mocking Calamity was already sufficient to suppress most Sixth Stage beings. A figure in a large red opera robe slowly rose from the crimson sea. As he grasped with five fingers in the air, dense red papers directly tore off another arm from the Sixth Stage being!

“Ahhhhhh!!”

Amidst the horrific screams, blood and electricity splattered within the prison.

Xiao Bai, still with remnants of chains on his body, tumbled onto the surging red papers. The surrounding Mocking Calamity energy filled his mind, and his scorched hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, as if he were about to prostrate himself in the next second.

Clang—

Just then, a boning knife fell in front of him.

Chen Ling's voice calmly rang out: “Kill him.”

Xiao Bai looked up and saw the back of the opera robe, resembling a crimson sovereign, turning to look at him amidst the swirling red papers.

“Great King…” Xiao Bai was a little flustered.

“Kill him!” Blood and electricity intertwined. Chen Ling’s crimson eyes emitted an unparalleled sense of oppression. “Your hatred should be resolved by you… If you can’t even do this, then don’t claim to be one of my Ghost Mockery Abyss people from now on.”

Xiao Bai's heart trembled.

He looked down at his own scorched body, then at Xiao Tao, who was still paralyzed and unable to move on the ground beside him. A surge of fierce determination rose in the youth’s heart!

Xiao Bai fiercely gripped the boning knife. At the same time, all the crimson tendrils in front of him parted to clear a path. He let out a roar and rapidly charged towards the Sixth Stage figure, who had been dismembered by Chen Ling and pinned to the ground.

“No… No!!”

In the Sixth Stage being's eyes, the scorched face of the youth was clearly reflected. This was the first time he had seen a Fuser up close… so naive, yet so ruthless, and no different from a human.

Xiao Bai gripped the knife handle with both hands, and plunged it down repeatedly, under the Sixth Stage being's terrified gaze!

Thrust, thrust, thrust, thrust—!!!

Four consecutive stabs, each piercing the heart!

Xiao Bai's body was already pushed to its limit by the torture; these four stabs completely drained him of all his strength. As the boning knife clattered to the ground, he weakly collapsed to his knees.

His bloodshot eyes watched the Sixth Stage being's terrified face slowly turn rigid and pale.

He was dead.

Xiao Bai gasped heavily, his hands trembling uncontrollably. This was his first time killing someone. His stomach churned with nausea, and his youthful heart was filled with fear, yet another wave of satisfaction from vengeance excited him like never before!

“Great King, he’s dead… I killed him!!”

Xiao Bai took a deep breath, and as he spoke, he turned his head to look behind him.

But the large red opera robe was not looking there.

Though the Sixth Stage being was dead, the surging calamity aura had not yet receded. Chen Ling’s back stood firm above the red tide, his gaze fixed straight ahead at the direction of the gray prison gate.

There,

a man wearing an enforcer’s trench coat was slowly approaching.

As seven silver patterns on the hem of his trench coat flashed, a domain silently unfolded from beneath his feet. Towering pillars of the Judgment Court broke through the surging red papers on the ground, rising straight towards the sky. The originally dim and damp prison walls also began to be covered with strands of silvery light patterns of judgment.

The Judgment Court!

Unlike Chen Ling's crude Judgment Court from earlier, the Judgment Court before them seemed to pull the entire prison into another world. A magnificent and vast will watched over the scene from the void, making one feel incredibly small. At the same time, the man's oppressive aura was rapidly escalating!

As he approached, even the creeping red tide on the ground seemed to be forcibly parted by some power, clearing a path.

Han Meng merely glanced casually at Xiao Bai, but Xiao Bai felt as though he had been completely seen through. A strong sense of dread welled up in his heart, and his kneeling body couldn't even move a single finger!

Fortunately, Han Meng was not interested in him and quickly withdrew his gaze, refocusing on the opera-robed figure in the center of the red tide.

“Finally… I’ve got you.”

A faint smile played on his lips.
