SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

He is the real behind-the-scenes boss of this leisure place called "I Walked to the Mountain Peak in the Snow".

Just as the piercing alarm blared throughout the five buildings.

The polite smile on his face instantly froze at the corner of his mouth.

The two powerful law enforcement officers beside them were also stunned for a moment.

The owner, dressed in luxurious robes, immediately snapped out of his daze, forcing a broad smile as he continued speaking to the two law enforcement officers:

"Please excuse my poor behavior, gentlemen. It must have been an accidental press of the alarm button by one of our men..."

"Bang--!"

Before he could finish speaking...

A loud crash of shattering glass suddenly came from the top floor of the Hot Spring Building.

The three of them suddenly looked up in the direction of the sound.

Three figures burst out of the top window of the hot spring building and sped towards them!

An officer looked up at the three figures rapidly approaching on the horizon and said with interest:

"At this height, to be able to jump down with two people, one must be at least a seventh-level high-stage Awakener."

He paused for a second, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and quickly corrected himself:

"No, just from the aura emanating from him, he must be at least at the early stage of the eighth rank. Interesting. He must be another powerful figure who has emerged from one of the small cities."

The moment he finished speaking, a powerful aura of a mid-stage eighth-level cultivator slowly enveloped his body.

The man in the luxurious robes instantly turned pale.

The aura of the eighth-level initial stage within his body suddenly erupted, and the hem of his clothes fluttered wildly in the wind.

He immediately stepped forward and bowed to the two law enforcement officers in front of him, saying:

"I won't trouble you two gentlemen. Once I've captured them, I'll send them to the Imperial City Enforcement Bureau as soon as possible..."

You can't take it.

Another law enforcement officer, with a long sword hanging at his waist, interrupted him directly, his tone completely flat.

These words were spoken.

The man in the luxurious robes and the other law enforcement officer froze, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Another officer raised an eyebrow and asked with a hint of doubt:

"Mo Xu, what do you mean by that?"

Mo Xu's dark eyes were fixed on the three figures that were getting closer and closer to them. His knuckles unconsciously pressed against the hilt of his sword, and he said in a deep voice:

"I've seen all three of them before. The one in the middle is an Awakened One at the mid-eighth level."

"Mid-stage eighth rank!?"

The man in the luxurious robes suddenly narrowed his eyes, his eyelids twitched violently twice, and he asked in bewilderment and surprise:

"Let alone those in the middle stage of the eighth rank, even awakened individuals in the early stage of the eighth rank will have all their expenses paid for in this place free of charge."

"What exactly are they trying to achieve by doing this?"

"Could it be that they're just looking for a thrill?"

The other officer, his eyes filled with even deeper doubt, took half a step forward and pressed on:

"Since they've had dealings with you, what are their identities...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Xu interrupted him in a deep voice:

"I fought the man in the middle, and I lost."

"What!?" The other officer's eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed in shock.

"You are the most powerful law enforcement officer in the Lanxi Kingdom. Who in the same realm can be your match?"

The owner, dressed in luxurious robes, instantly concealed all his presence, a thin layer of sweat breaking out on his back.

I was incredibly relieved that I hadn't acted impulsively and rushed forward immediately.

If even Enforcer Mo Xu could defeat him, wouldn't killing him be as easy as crushing a chicken?

Mo Xu glanced at the two of them and said indifferently:

"They are outsiders."

"Someone from outside?" the two asked in unison.

Before the two could fully recover from their shock...

Mo Xu's long sword was suddenly drawn from its sheath, and the pressure of the eighth-level mid-stage realm exploded around him!

A very faint smile appeared on his lips, and his voice was kept extremely low:

"Since my sustained power expenditure is inferior to yours, why not unleash your full power from the start?"

The moment the words were spoken.

His figure instantly transformed into a blur as he darted out, then he swung his longsword fiercely, unleashing a chilling blade of light at the three people rushing toward the main gate!

now.

Lu Ping and Zhang Huai, who were suspended in mid-air by the shovel, felt the terrifying pressure coming towards them.

My heart skipped a beat, and the hairs on my body stood on end.

Iron Shovel's face darkened completely.

He recognized the man at a glance; it was Mo Xu, whom he had defeated the day before.

He quickly led the two of them to change direction in mid-air.

But then they saw another figure, also radiating the pressure of the middle stage of the eighth rank, blocking their retreat.

"Damn! You two are really screwing me over!"

With the shovel suspended in mid-air, looking at the two figures in the middle stage of the eighth level, he couldn't help but curse at them!

……

One hour later.

The deepest part of Lanxi Palace.

Inside a magnificent, gilded palace inlaid with jade.

Warm light spilled from the glass lamps in the dome, illuminating the black and white chess pieces on the black and white sandalwood chessboard, making them appear lustrous and shiny.

A man and a woman were sitting on opposite sides of the chessboard.

Lin Mu leaned back in his chair, his expression still calm and composed.

The battle with Queen Lanxi just now gave him a clearer understanding of his current combat strength.

Meanwhile, the empress's chest was still heaving violently with her breathing.

Her delicate brows furrowed, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, and she asked in a trembling voice:

"You, did you really only recently reach the ninth level?"

Lin Mu nodded, his tone calm: "Today."

"That's impossible!"

The Queen's voice suddenly rose a fraction, her tone urgent as she added:

"It's impossible for someone who has just entered the ninth level to fully master their power at such a fast pace. You're lying to me."

Lin Mu chuckled softly, his tone utterly serious:

"I have absolutely no reason to lie to you."

He paused, then looked up at the Queen, adding calmly:

"You're already very strong, you just happened to run into me."

The moment the words fell.

A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Mu's eyes.

Throughout the entire sparring match, he didn't even need to use his spatial domain; he steadily suppressed his opponent the whole time.

But then he thought it made perfect sense.

After all, at the very beginning of the third year of the Void Realm, his strength had already reached the ninth level.

In that empty space, the days stretched on endlessly, repeating themselves without end.

Aside from necessary sleep, he pushed himself to the limit to improve his strength every single minute.

For three whole years, I was trapped in an empty virtual world.

It's already quite an achievement that he's managed to stay healthy until now.

Upon hearing this, the Empress's cheeks flushed red with anger.

He was so angry that his fingertips were trembling, yet he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

Because everything the other party said was true.

From the first move to the last move in the exchange.

She was at a complete disadvantage from beginning to end.

Just then, an outrageous thought uncontrollably crept into her mind:

That means the person in front of me didn't actually use their full strength when we were sparring.

Otherwise, how could he remain so calm and composed, without even disrupting his breathing rhythm?
