With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 157 Two Venerables Slay the Dragon, Lighting a Lamp in the Outhouse (3k)

Yin Tianshou's dragon head soars to the sky, his spine standing tall and straight as if carved by a knife.

His body emitted a deep red aura, and his 108,000 reverse scales transformed into a meteor shower that struck the dragon demon.

Yang Huan, standing to the side, was clad in divine armor, with two chilling tiger heads coiled from his shoulders down to his chest.

Holding the Zhenwu Heavy Halberd, he instantly unleashed thirty-three layers of Heavenly Gang Killing Qi!
As Yin Tianshou launched his attack from the front, the halberd blades slashed down, revealing the strange phenomenon of the stars in the sky hanging upside down.

The illusory figures of the Twenty-Eight Constellations roared in unison amidst the halberd's light, causing the still-forming Annihilation Demon Light on the Jiao Demon's single horn to burst forth with the shrieks of countless vengeful souls.

A dark, ominous light suddenly appeared on the dragon demon's claws, and the demonic energy it spewed from its mouth collided with the point where the halberd blade and the dragon flame met.

The long-forged demonic energy exploded with a deafening roar, the shockwave shattering the clouds and mist for miles around into dust.

Taking advantage of the moment, Yin Tianshou's dragon claws tore apart the dragon demon's spine, viciously pulling out the dark, gray dragon tendon.
Yang Huan's halberd flashed down, cleaving the evil tendon into powder.

With its main tendon severed, the dragon demon let out a blood-curdling roar that echoed through the heavens.

"Young one, my true spiritual roots are deeply buried in the Sea of ​​Wheels of this world. I await the day when the Yellow Springs flow back and the world's light and darkness intersect."
"I will resurrect from within the Sea of ​​Wheels, and at that time, this city filled with bloodshed will all become sacrifices for my rebirth!"

"Noisy!"

The dragon claw halberd flashed with light, and the Flood Dragon's mangled body exploded into countless bloody foams.

"I'll subdue it!"

The blood and flesh of the dragon demon contained deadly poison; if it were spilled on the ground beneath the city walls, not a single survivor would survive.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Huan unleashed a dazzling light from his sleeve, drawing the countless fragments of flesh and blood into the vortex of the Void.

A moment later, the strange phenomenon in the sky and the two objects disappeared together.

On the ground, Long Jiu felt much more at ease and exhaled a deep breath.

"it is finally over"

The fierce battle has ended, but the rampage of the Jiao Demon has brought immeasurable losses to Yong'an tonight.

Fortunately, the dragon demon was finally killed, which is more important than anything else.

In the far west, there once existed an ancient kingdom called Baron.

At that time, its strength ranked among the top ten in the world, but the threat from the Demon Nest completely changed Baron's fate.

At that time, no one in the world had yet attained the status of a Great Sage. A powerful demon escaped from its lair and broke into the human world, wreaking havoc in the country of Balun and causing a great demonic disaster.

Faced with disaster, Barron mobilized the entire nation's resources to wage an epic battle against the demons that lasted nine days and nine nights.

Ultimately, at the cost of several Heavenly Kings' sacrifice, they successfully suppressed the demons.

But it also severely damaged Barron's economy, and the country's prosperity and strength gradually faded away.

Over the long course of history, the glory of the ancient kingdom of Baron gradually faded, and finally disappeared completely from the annals of history three hundred years ago.

Fortunately, the Great Chu is currently at the height of its power, and even if its main body escapes, there are martial arts saints who will come to suppress it.

After the war, Long Jiu worried again:
"But what if it's a monster that emerges from a forbidden zone that humans can't handle? How should Great Chu deal with it?"

"Kunlun and Taihang Mountains".

Long Jiu exhaled a breath of stale air, realizing he wasn't worthy of worrying about such things.

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; he just needs to guard his little corner of Yong'an.

At this moment, captains of the police station's martial arts teams gathered around him from all directions.

Long Jiu's headset had turned to dust in the magic light.

Liu Jinglong, as the captain, stepped out from the crowd to report on his work.

"Sir, all teams at Chaoyang Building have successfully completed their missions."

Two hundred and sixty-eight remnants of the Demon Summoning Temple were captured, and three hundred and four were killed. Please provide instructions on follow-up work, Sheriff.

Long Jiu asked:

What is the situation regarding our casualties?

Liu Jinglong said with deep sorrow:

"Five people died in the line of duty, six people were seriously injured, including one martial arts captain, and more than forty people were slightly injured."

The methods of the demonic path are unpredictable, and sacrifices are inevitable. No one can guarantee that a mission will be foolproof.

"What about the other action teams?"

"There's still the team that's arresting black market operators at the casino that hasn't been reported yet. Their request for backup was just canceled. Chief, what should we do?"

Long Jiu calmly said:

"Don't worry, Meng Chuan has his armor on. I chose him for this mission, so it must be foolproof."

The kid was indeed very strong, and with the sheriff's assurance and additional support, Liu Jinglong felt much more at ease.

"You stay here to handle the post-war relief efforts and escort the remnants of the demonic path. I'll go to the city government tonight to report on the situation."

"Yes!"

Long Jiu was also seriously injured, but given the scale of the commotion tonight, some procedures still needed to be followed, so he could only wait until tomorrow to receive treatment.

Inside the casino.

Old Wu stood aside and reported the situation to the brigade.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Jinglong laughed:
[Your captain is indeed capable; he can even defeat the split soul of the Jiao Demon.]

This was a resounding success, and we even seized so many health-enhancing items. I'll ask the sheriff for commendation on your behalf when we get back.

[There's one more thing, Captain Liu. We also arrested nearly fifty gamblers this time, so we need the station to send a few more armored vehicles.]

No problem, I'll notify the logistics team, they'll be there within half an hour. Thank you all for your hard work.

Busting gambling also provides the police station with legitimate revenue, which makes Liu Jinglong happy.

At this moment, Meng Chuan was chatting with the owner of the aphrodisiac shop.

"Good brother, aiding the enemy, betraying the country, and colluding with evil spirits, you're like lighting a lamp in a latrine."

"woo woo woo woo!"

"what?"

"Woo!"

"Alright, the police escort vehicle will be here soon, so let's not waste any more time. If there's anything you can do to redeem yourself, let me know immediately, and I'll report it for you."

If you're going to talk nonsense, then I'll stuff your stinky socks in.

The man with the mustache nodded repeatedly, saying that material possessions were nothing compared to life itself.

“Brother, sir, I have a large box of Western Region nourishing substances hidden in the shop.”

"And I have half a box of Tantric body-strengthening oil that I can offer you, sir, just to save my life!"

Meng Chuan waved his hand, indicating that he was not accepting bribes; once the mission was over, he would just be a student again.

The reason for bluffing this guy is that the more stolen goods recovered during this mission, the more merit points he will receive at the end.
Seeing Meng Chuan's waving gesture, the man with the mustache assumed that the other party was dissatisfied, and cold sweat broke out on his brow.

He gritted his teeth and then continued:

"Sir, are you practicing Tantric techniques?"

Meng Chuan remained silent.

The man with the mustache said with considerable regret:

"There's a hidden square compartment on the back of the chair I usually sit in the shop. You can find it by touching it with your hand."

Hidden inside was a tantric manual that I had acquired by chance, but I didn't study it much because my martial arts aptitude was too poor.

But I guarantee it's absolutely top-notch! I bought it hoping to sell it for a good price.

Unfortunately, esoteric Buddhist practices weren't very popular in the Great Chu, so they just sat there unused.

"Oh? If you're lying to me, you'll be in big trouble."

Meng Chuan pretended to threaten.

The small business owner is too cunning; it's possible he's plotting against him.

"I wouldn't dare, sir! I just want to live!"

Meng Chuan nodded insincerely.

"Alright, if what you said is true, consider it a meritorious service to atone for your crime."

This was not a lie; the purpose of the spiritual nourishment he had hoarded was to trade with the Demon Summoning Temple.

This behavior already classifies these health-preserving items as stolen goods used to aid the enemy.

Voluntarily revealing the location of the stolen goods is considered a meritorious act under the laws of the Great Chu.

"Esoteric Buddhist practices"

Even though it was stolen goods, he should still be able to see it for a while.

However, Meng Chuan did not have high expectations for this, as it was unrealistic to expect a mere peddler to produce unparalleled martial arts skills.

The sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance. Meng Chuan helped the police officers to escort the criminals into the car.

He has already reported what's in the shop, so he doesn't need to go there himself. The police station near Wai Min Street will send people to search the place.

He then got into a police car and headed to the police station. He had a lot going on tonight and probably wouldn't be able to go home to rest.

In the police car, Meng Chuan had a phone conversation with his uncle.

Meng Yongzhi was also working overtime at the police station tonight, sitting in the command center in charge of coordinating command and dispatch, so he naturally knew that Meng Chuan was also leading a team in the operation.

[Chuan'er, well done!]

Meng Yongzhi praised Meng Chuan, saying that he was incredibly brave tonight, which once again made him look good in front of his colleagues.

[Next time you encounter such an accident, never try to fight it yourself. Request support promptly if needed, and don't try to be a hero.]

Meng Chuan helplessly agreed, saying that although the monster was malevolent, the armor made it impossible for him to harm it.

[Understood, Uncle.]

Meng Yongzhi knew the police station's rules, and he continued:

"I'm all set here. Tell me when you've finished reporting your mission, and we'll head back together."

【OK. 】

Wing On Police Station Building.

The transport vehicle took the prisoners to the detention center, and Meng Chuandai led the team to the office building.

Long Jiu was not there; Liu Jinglong was in charge of post-war statistics in the hall.

Meng Chuan stood beside him and said loudly:
"Captain Liu, the operation at the casino resulted in the capture of both the perpetrators and the stolen goods, and all the enemy bandits were wiped out without a single escape."

Liu Jinglong laughed:
"Thank you all for your hard work. Xiao Wu has already told me the details on the way. Please sit down and rest for a while, and we will go to the meeting room together when the others return."

Meng Chuan's performance tonight lived up to Long Jiu's expectations.

Even when facing enemies who have mutated into demons, they can still confront them head-on and even subdue them.

This opened Liu Jinglong's eyes. Even with the armor, ordinary seventh-level warriors couldn't even see the Jiao Demon's movements clearly and could only be beaten like iron cans, let alone defeat it.

Meng Chuan was also secretly looking forward to this, hoping to reap a lot of rewards this time, which would greatly alleviate his financial difficulties.

A moment later, all police forces returned safely.

In the conference room.

Since Long Jiu was not present, Liu Jinglong took his place in the head seat.

Many of the police officers present were meeting Meng Chuan for the first time, and upon hearing about his deeds that evening, they were all secretly full of admiration.

Faced with the ruthless attacks of the demonic warriors, he ultimately used his seven-level body to withstand the snake demon's divided soul!
The officers present no longer regarded Meng Chuan as a student.

Instead, it was placed on an equal or even higher level.

"A martial arts genius, even if he's not as good as me now, his youth is his greatest asset."

Sitting at the head of the table, Liu Jinglong was filled with emotion after watching the enforcement video of the casino team.

Seeing it with your own eyes is truly astonishing. In his youth, he was hailed as a martial arts prodigy, one in a thousand.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have broken through the second major limit before reaching the age of fifty.

Compared to Meng Chuan, it's only a matter of time before the latter surpasses him.

He was certain that the other party would become a rising star in the martial arts world of Great Chu in the future!
