Chapter 85 Who the hell are you?

As a flurry of flying needles hurtled towards them, the two demonic disciples remained unfazed. They drew their sabers and casually swung them aside, drawing out a powerful spiritual energy that guided the needles. This was a Qi Refining stage technique from the [Shared Dao Demonic Saber].

The flying needles missed their mark and flew wildly to both sides. An innocent mortal who was hiding in a street corner with his head in his hands, terrified by the "gang fight," was caught in the crossfire and was hit by five needles. He fell down with a scream.

The demonic sect disciples didn't even glance at the mortal and continued chasing after the flower thief.

Just then, a figure flashed in front of them, and a young female constable appeared out of nowhere. She kicked the flower thief to the ground. The flower thief tried to resist, but the female constable swung her iron ruler and smashed it on his forehead with a thud.

The flower thief didn't even utter a sound before fainting.

The female constable straightened up and faced the two disciples of the Demonic Sect, adopting a stance that blocked their way: "People of the Demonic Sect, how arrogant you are! Fighting, chasing, and leaping around in broad daylight in the bustling city center, throwing hidden weapons and injuring passersby, you have already broken the law."

In front of the two men, the female constable recited the law directly: "Shenzhou Law, Volume 20, Criminal Law 3, Fighting: All fighting, whether it is a dispute or a brawl, is called fighting. If no injury is caused, the offender shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane. If injury is caused, the punishment shall be determined according to the severity of the injury. If a fight results in death, regardless of whether it involves hands, feet, other objects, or weapons, the offender shall be strangled. If the killing is intentional, the offender shall be beheaded."

After reciting the whole story, the female constable leisurely pointed to the innocent mortal who had been caught up in the incident by the roadside: "The severity of your sentence depends on how badly he is injured."

""

The two demonic sect disciples sneered, not even bothering to glance at the injured mortal. Who cared how badly he was hurt? What they cared about was that the constables dared to interfere in their business, something they had never dared to do before.

"That's hilarious!" said the disciple of the Demonic Sect. "Are you a new constable? How many years have you been in Jiangzhou? Don't you even know the rules here? Even your Chief Constable Cai Xinzi has to behave herself in front of the Demonic Sect. How dare you, a little brat, spout nonsense?"

The female constable snorted and said, "You lawless bastards, we will bring you to justice today."

The female constable was Zhang Yi. She came out alone first, while Li Gu, Niu Xin, and Ma Zhi hid far away and did not show themselves, giving the two demonic sect disciples the illusion that "this female constable is alone".

All three are people with very flexible moral boundaries, and they can easily pull off things like entrapment.

Although this disciple of the Demonic Sect broke the law, according to the "Law of the Divine Land," a street fight without death would at most result in a few dozen lashes. However, if he were lured into "attacking the constables," the outcome would be entirely different.

The disciples of the Demonic Sect were used to being arrogant, and they easily took the bait even though it was so obvious.

The two demonic sect disciples snorted coldly and slowly approached Zhang Yi. One of them said, "What a pity, little bastard, you're a bit too ugly. Grandpa doesn't even have the interest to make you into any of the eighteen different shapes."

,

Another laughed and said, "I can bring myself to beat up ugly people."

The first one laughed and said, "Then give them a good beating and teach this newbie a lesson in the rules of Jiangzhou."

""

Zhang Yi deliberately put on ugly makeup, intending to look ugly, but women get angry when told they're ugly, regardless of whether they intentionally created the ugliness. Zhang Yi's eyebrows shot up: "How dare you, you villain?"

The two demonic sect disciples sneered: "We dare, so what? Come on, come on, mess with me! Take your iron ruler and smash it in my face, let's see if grandpa is scared?"

The two grew closer and closer.

Zhang Yi pulled out an iron ruler. She had two iron rulers hanging from her waist. One was made of ordinary iron, and the other was a low-grade magic weapon that the workshop had crafted for 400 low-grade spirit stones. They looked exactly the same, but when used, cultivators could sense the difference between the magic weapon and the ordinary iron through their spiritual energy.

So she drew a piece of ordinary iron!

He used the Zhang Family Nameless Ruler Technique to attack the two demonic sect disciples.

Although she had already established her foundation, it was a short time ago. Her entire physique and temperament, even the small movements and details when she made a move, still retained a strong trace of the Qi Refining stage. This attack was completely devoid of the level of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and was exactly the strength of a Qi Refining cultivator.

The two demonic disciples had no doubts whatsoever. They raised their waist knives, and with two clangs, they blocked Zhang Yi's iron ruler. Then, with a backhand slash, they brought their knives down on Zhang Yi's chest.

Okay, I'm fighting back!

He was found guilty of assaulting an officer.

Zhang Yi pretended he couldn't stop them and retreated a few steps in a disheveled state, shouting: "According to the 'Shenzhou Law, Criminal Law Ten, Arresting the Fugitive, Criminals Resisting Arrest,' if a criminal resists arrest with a cane, the arresting officer shall kill him on the spot; if a prisoner escapes, the arresting officer shall pursue and kill him; if a prisoner commits suicide out of desperation, no further action shall be taken."

""

The two demonic sect disciples laughed loudly: "Why don't you try killing us?"

"Alright! I've been waiting for you to say that." Zhang Yi's face suddenly darkened, his previous panic turning into coldness.

Two disciples of the Demonic Sect: "???"

This sudden change in expression made the two of them realize that something was wrong.

Zhang Yi reached out and pulled out another iron ruler-like magical weapon—

She could have used her spiritual energy to manipulate magical artifacts to attack people, but since this was the city center, she didn't want to reveal that she had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so she picked up the artifact with her hands instead.

To people at a distance, she still appeared to be using the fighting style of the Qi Refining stage.

However, the two demonic disciples nearby sensed something was wrong. The iron ruler of their opponent contained a large amount of spiritual energy. This was no ordinary iron ruler; it was a magic weapon. Since the Qi Refining stage cultivators could not wield magic weapons, there was only one answer: their opponent had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

The two were taken aback and turned to run.

But before he could run two steps, he saw Li Gu blocking his way.

Li Gu didn't even pull out the iron ruler, because he had been practicing the [Honeycomb Palm] technique for the past few days and had already gained combat power in his unarmed state.

He stood with his arms outstretched in the narrow street: "Where do you two think you're going? You've already attacked the officials, and you think you can get away unscathed?"

The two disciples of the Demonic Sect exchanged a glance. The female constable had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but the male constable probably hadn't yet. There was still a chance to break through the encirclement from him.

Without saying a word, the two used the "Together Steps" technique and charged forward.

This footwork was extremely exquisite. The two of them instantly appeared in front of Li Gu, wielding two waist sabers and unleashing the killing move from the [Common Path Demon Blade], fiercely slashing at Li Gu.

However, just as the two men swung their knives, they saw Li Gu sway and instantly slide to their side. The footwork he used looked extremely familiar to them. "Damn, isn't this the same 'Synergy Walk' as us?"

The astonishment in their eyes was impossible to hide.

In the next instant, Li Gu struck out with his palm, the palm wind splitting in two in mid-air into two palm winds, which struck the chests of two demonic sect disciples with two loud "bangs".

The two men slowly collapsed. They recognized the palm strike from him—the [Honeycomb Divine Palm]—and managed to squeeze out, "Who the hell are you?"
