High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

The smoke and dust at the edge of the giant crater had not yet dissipated.

Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze and waved his hand.

The eighteen clones transformed into black streaks of light, flying in all directions to continue wiping out the remaining alien races that were still putting up a stubborn resistance.

He then took out the Holy Venerable Token and edited a message to send to all the elders of the Dragon Martial Division.

"The alien army has been defeated. Of the three late-stage tenth-tier god elders, one is dead and two are seriously injured."

"The defenses of each state should remain in place; there is no need to send reinforcements to Los Angeles."

After the message was sent, the Holy Lord ordered a few seconds of silence.

Then it exploded!

Zhou Qing's message popped up first, and you could feel his shock even through the screen.

"Three late-stage tenth-tier experts?! One dead, two severely injured?! Chief Chen, are you alone?!"

Chen Yuan replied with a single word: "Mm".

Zhou Qing remained silent for a while before sending the next message.

"Chief Chen, the other side went to such great lengths, sending three late-stage tenth-level experts... and yet you died, two others were seriously injured, while you yourself were almost unharmed?"

"With you here, Earth will definitely survive this crisis."

Chen Yuan glanced at it but did not reply.

He put away the Holy Decree.

After scanning the area within a radius of nearly 100 kilometers with his divine sense and confirming that no tenth-order alien aura had been missed, he...

His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Soon after.

Chen Yuan appeared in front of the headquarters building of the Dragon Martial Division.

He did not return to Longyuan Mountain, but went straight into the General Affairs Department.

Office of the General Affairs Department Director.

Lin Wei was reviewing battle reports from various state defense lines, her brow furrowed. She had received news of the attack on Luodu and was mobilizing all available resources to provide reinforcements.

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

Lin Wei looked up and saw the silver-white figure walking in, and she was stunned for a moment.

Chief Chen?

Weren't they fighting against the alien army outside Luodu City? How did they end up here?

She quickly stood up.

"Chief Chen, what's wrong...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yuan took out the God-Sealing Mirror from his bosom and gently shook it with the mirror face down.

A golden light flashed.

Liu Cang's figure fell out of the mirror and landed awkwardly on the ground.

Liu Cang lay on the ground, trembling all over.

During the time he was imprisoned in the Mirror of Gods, he experienced the longest wait of his life.

He knew he was finished.

From the moment Chen Yuan captured him, he knew he was doomed.

Since we're going to die anyway, what's there to be afraid of?

Liu Cang got up from the ground, staring intently at Chen Yuan, his eyes filled with resentment and madness.

"Chen Yuan! I've finally fallen into your hands..."

His voice was hoarse, as if it were being squeezed out from deep in his throat.

"From the moment you took the Holy Spirit Liquid, my Liu family was ruined!"

"My father went to Longyuan Mountain to kneel before you and beg for forgiveness, offering up most of our family fortune. He was whipped ten times with the Soul-Suppressing Whip, and now his lifespan is almost over, awaiting death!"

"My Liu family has fallen from one of the nine great martial arts families to an ordinary first-rate family, becoming a laughing stock in the entire Luodu!"

"And you? You took the Holy Spirit Liquid and nothing happened to you! You suspended me with a single word, and with another word, that bitch Lin Wei locked me in the general affairs department!"

Do you know what I suffered in the general affairs department?

"I hate you! I hate that you took everything from me! I hate that you didn't treat the Liu family like human beings!"

"Yes, I've sided with a foreign race! So what? I'll do anything to kill you!"

"It's just a pity...it's just a pity that fate was blind and you discovered it..."

Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged after hearing this.

He raised his hand and slapped Liu Cang across the face.

"Snapped!"

The sound was crisp and clear.

Liu Cang was sent flying, crashing into the office wall before bouncing back and falling to the ground.

Half of his face was swollen.

Several teeth, mixed with blood and foam, flew out of his mouth.

Chen Yuan stepped forward, and the pressure of a late-stage Martial God descended, pinning Liu Cang firmly to the ground.

Liu Cang struggled desperately, his peak Martial Venerable spiritual power surging wildly as he tried to break free from the oppressive force.

However, even a peak Martial Venerable is less than an ant compared to a late-stage Martial God.

The more he struggled, the heavier the pressure became, until finally he couldn't even move a finger.

Lin Wei frowned as she watched this scene.

"Chief Chen... what exactly is going on?"

Chen Yuan calmly recounted Liu Cang's actions.

They sought refuge with a foreign tribe.

He gained the power of an alien race and broke through to the peak of Martial Venerable.

As the alien army pressed in, he led his men to infiltrate the core of the city's protective array, attempting to shut it down and allow the aliens to advance unimpeded.

Lin Wei's eyes turned cold immediately after hearing this.

She looked at Liu Cang, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, her eyes filled with nothing but coldness, devoid of any sympathy.

"To defect to foreign tribes and secretly collude with foreign enemies."

"During wartime, they sabotaged the city's defensive formations, attempting to kill millions of soldiers and civilians in Luodu..."

Her voice was as cold as ice.

"This is treason."

In the Great Xia Kingdom, treason is the most serious crime, without exception!

The entire Human Alliance has zero tolerance for traitors.

At best, the person in question would be executed, and their family members exiled.

In severe cases, the entire clan will be implicated, with no one spared.

Liu Cang was still struggling, muttering incoherent curses.

They cursed Chen Yuan for abusing his power, cursed Lin Wei for kicking someone when they were down, and cursed God for being blind.

Chen Yuan looked down at him.

He raised his hand and sent a burst of divine power into Liu Cang's body.

"Click-clack click-clack..."

A series of cracking sounds came from Liu Cang's body.

All the bones in his body, from his fingers to his toes, from his ribs to his spine, were shattered by this divine power.

Then came several more muffled thuds, and all the meridians in his body were severed.

The final burst of divine power blasted into his dantian.

His cultivation was completely abolished.

"ah!!"""

Liu Cang let out a piercing scream.

He collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, too weak to even twitch.

Just as he was about to faint from the pain.

Chen Yuan took out a pill from his pocket and flicked it into his mouth.

The elixir entered the stomach.

A warm current surged into his mind, keeping him in a state of heightened awareness.

Every pain in his body was magnified countless times, yet he couldn't faint or die.

"Want to die?" Chen Yuan asked calmly. "It's not that easy."

With his last ounce of strength, Liu Cang managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat.

"Chen Yuan... if you have the guts, kill me... I'll haunt you even as a ghost..."

Chen Yuan didn't look at him again.

Paying attention to a dead person is a complete waste of time.

He turned and walked out of the office, leaving a comment behind as he passed Lin Wei.

"It's up to you, Minister Lin."

Lin Wei bowed.

"Rest assured, Chief Chen."

The office door closed.

Lin Wei straightened up and looked down at Liu Cang, who was sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud, without a trace of pity in her eyes.

"Kill you? That's too easy on you."

Her voice was very soft.

But every word felt like a knife piercing Liu Cang's heart.

"Old Liu, you know that the crime of treason can lead to the extermination of the entire clan. Your father, Liu Zhenyue, your son, Liu Yunlie, and everyone in your Liu family will pay the price for your foolishness this time."

Liu Cang's pupils suddenly contracted.

He struggled to lift his head, and for the first time, genuine fear appeared in his eyes.

"Lin Wei! You bitch! How dare you!"

Lin Wei smiled slightly.

"What wouldn't I dare to do?"

Liu Cang cursed like a madman.

"Lin Wei! You're nothing but Chen Yuan's dog!"

"Your entire Lin family are Chen Yuan's dogs! Your grandfather, Lin Zuyao, is a dog! Your whole family are dogs that lick Chen Yuan's toes!"

Lin Wei wasn't angry after hearing this.

She crouched down and spoke softly in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Well said."

"However, I should thank you. If you hadn't been so stupid as to hand the Liu family over to the chopping block, it would have taken me a lot of effort to deal with your Liu family."

"Now that's settled, with the charge of treason pinned on you, no one can save you."

She stood up, still smiling.

"If I remember correctly, your youngest daughter just turned three this year, right?"

"Don't worry, I will use the cruelest punishment to send your whole family on their way, one by one, and no one will be able to escape."

"That includes your three-year-old daughter."

Liu Cang's eyes widened instantly.

He used his last bit of strength to struggle frantically on the ground like a fish thrown ashore.

"Lin Wei!!! You beast!!! She's only three years old!!! She's only three years old!!!"

Lin Wei didn't look at her again, and turned to give instructions to the person outside the door.

"Guards, take this traitor to the Heavenly Prison and keep him under strict guard. He must not be allowed to die."

Four martial arts experts from the General Affairs Department pushed open the door and dragged Liu Cang out like a dead dog.

The corridor echoed with Liu Cang's mournful cries and curses, growing fainter and fainter until they finally disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Lin Wei leaned back in her chair, gazing at the ceiling with a faint smile on her lips.

The Lin family has long coveted the Liu family's wealth.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhenyue acted too quickly last time and was forgiven by Chen Yuan, allowing him to escape a disaster.

Later, the Liu family kept a very low profile, and she never had a suitable reason.

After all, they are both from the nine major martial arts families, and with Chief Chen speaking out, other families would have objections if the Liu family were attacked without cause.

it's good now.

Once the charge of treason is attached, no one can find fault with it.

Not only could they take over the Liu family's assets, but they could also gain another merit in front of Chief Chen.

Killing two birds with one stone.

As for Liu Cang's three-year-old daughter... a cold glint flashed in Lin Wei's eyes.

To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots.

She understood this principle when she was very young.

......

That night, the martial arts world of Luodu was once again shaken.

The General Affairs Department of the Dragon Martial Division, together with the Military Department and the Judicial Department, dispatched thousands of elite martial artists to surround the Liu family mansion.

Liu Zhenyue was captured by the Third Elder, who had been specially appointed for this matter.

He stared blankly at the general affairs department warriors who rushed into the mansion, still unaware of what had happened.

It wasn't until Lin Wei personally walked up to him and recounted Liu Cang's actions word for word that he finally understood.

Those who defect to other races or sabotage the city's protective formation during wartime are guilty of treason and their entire clan will be implicated.

After hearing the whole story, Liu Zhenyue felt as if his spine had been removed.

He slowly closed his eyes, and two streams of tears slid down his cheeks.

"You are a traitor... you are a traitor..."

He had long known that Liu Cang hated Chen Yuan to the core.

But he never expected that his son would be so foolish as to defect to a foreign tribe.

What no one expected was that he not only courted death, but also dragged the entire Liu family down with him!

The entire Liu family, numbering several hundred, was imprisoned overnight.

From Liu Zhenyue, a martial arts master at the peak, to a toddler who had just turned three, none of them escaped.

The Liu family's properties, mansions, shops, and spirit mines were all seized and confiscated, and handed over to the Longwu Division's national treasury.

The Liu family, which was once one of the nine great martial arts families in Luodu, was thus removed from the list.

The news spread.

The entire martial arts community in Luodu fell silent.

No one dared to speak up for the Liu family.

The crime of treason is a red line that no power dares to cross.

Liu Cang brought this upon himself; who else can he blame?

It's a pity about Liu Zhenyue. He spent his whole life shedding blood and risking his life for the Great Xia Kingdom, only to be betrayed by his own son and have his entire family executed.

......

A few days later, at the execution ground in Luodu.

Hundreds of members of the Liu family were taken to the execution ground, from Liu Zhenyue to Liu Cang, Liu Yunlie to the little girl who had just turned three.

The Third Elder had already left after finishing his business.

Lin Wei personally oversaw the execution.

She sat on the high platform, looking down at the faces below, some filled with fear, despair, and confusion, her face expressionless.

Liu Cang was being supported by two martial artists, his body limp like a lump of mud.

His cultivation has been destroyed.

Although his bones were simply reattached after being shattered by Chen Yuan, he was completely unable to exert any strength.

He saw his father, his son, and his daughter, who was being held in her wet nurse's arms and was unaware of what was happening.

He finally regretted it.

"Lin Wei!!! It's all my fault!!! Kill me!!! Spare my daughter!!! She's only three years old!!!"

Liu Cang roared desperately, his voice so shrill it was inhuman.

Lin Wei glanced at him and spoke in a flat tone.

"Now you know you regret it? Too late."

She raised her hand.

"Execute."

Knife up and down.

The execution ground fell silent, the air thick with the stench of blood.

The entire Liu family, numbering several hundred, was brought to justice.

Lin Wei stood up, took one last look at the corpse on the execution ground, and turned to leave.

From this day forward, the Liu family will no longer exist in Luoyang.
