The smoke and dust had settled.
King Pindola appeared, retreating several feet backward, his feet scraping two deep trenches in the ground. At this moment, he was spitting blood, half-kneeling on the ground, able to stay upright only by supporting himself on his steel whip.
“My Lord.” Seeing King Pindola in this state, one of the Yin Department’s sham grandmasters tried to rush over.
Pei Xuanjing swung his robe, a surge of energy struck directly at the man’s chest, sending him flying backwards.
Effortlessly having repelled a sham grandmaster, the rest of Yin Department’s personnel didn’t dare to move rashly. They could only look at Pei Xuanjing with fear in their eyes, while also staying alert to the Brocade Guards.
However, aside from this, Pei Xuanjing also did not make any other moves and merely glared coldly at King Pindola.
At this moment, King Pindola laboriously stood up.
Cough, cough.
King Pindola coughed up a mouthful of blood, mixed with pieces of his internal organs.
Clearly, Pei Xuanjing’s previous palm strike had exceeded his limits. With nowhere for the force to disperse, he had to bear all of it, causing his internal organs to shatter.
If it were not for his strong vitality as a second-class martial artist, he would not have been able to stand up at all.
However, even so, everyone was aware that he was merely struggling in his last moments, and his end seemed to be near.
Yet at this time, King Pindola seemed indifferent to his own imminent death, and he didn’t even care about his own subordinates who were repelled by Pei Xuanjing’s robe swing.
He erupted into hysterical laughter, “Hahahaha… Pei Xuanjing, you are indeed formidable. I underestimated you, everyone underestimated you.”
“But, even so, what of it? You’ve been hit by my Netherworld Death Palm. Even if I die, I can take you down with me, and that will make my death worthwhile.”
Upon hearing King Pindola’s words, everyone’s eyes were drawn towards Pei Xuanjing’s left hand resting behind his back.
“Are you referring to this?”
At this time, Pei Xuanjing extended his left hand that showed a dark spot in the palm the characteristic mark of one hit by the Netherworld Death Palm.
“Hahahaha…” King Pindola laughed even harder.
No matter how talented Pei Xuanjing was, he would still have to die with him.
If he could take this prodigiously gifted genius down with him in his last moments, death would not be a loss. “Brother Pei…”
“My Lord…”
Upon seeing this, Lin Qingyi and the Brocade Guards could not help but ccall out.
Pei Xuanjing did not respond to their words, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he asked King Pindola: “Are you sure it’s irreversible?”
Having said that, Pei Xuanjing activated the Four Seasons Heavenly Phenomenon Skill. With the circulation of his True Qi, the black spot in his palm gradually disappeared and eventually vanished without a trace.
“How is this possible!” King Pindola’s laughter came to an abrupt halt as though he was choked, his face was filled with disbelief.
Knowing well the power of the Netherworld Death Palm, throughout the years, he had killed countless people with this martial skill. How could there be anyone who could dissolve its effects so easily?
The opponent was definitely deceiving him, using a trick to blind his eyes.
Yes, perhaps, the opponent was merely suppressing it with his own True Qi.
King Pindola roared in fury, “By suppressing it with your True Qi, you’re causing the Yin Sha Qi to spread faster and you’ll die even faster…”
Looking at the disbelieving King Pindola, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t bothered to explain and asked instead: “It seems you have accomplices.”
He wanted to extract some last-minute information from King Pindola’s mouth, but unfortunately, at this moment, King Pindola was unwilling to further engage in conversation with him.
“If that’s the case, let me send you on your way.”
The sword flashed, splashing a trace of blood, as King Pindola fell to the ground.
One of the ten Great Yamas of the Yin Department, King Pindola, who made the whole Great Ming fear upon hearing his name, thus met his end in Tiandu.
Seeing King Pindola’s death, the rest of the members of the Yin Department no longer had the will to fight and attempted to flee.
However, these people, who could originally hold their ground against the Brocade Guards, were no match now with the addition of Pei Xuanjing.
In a short span of time, the fight had come to an end.
Undeniably, though the Yin Department, like the Mire Sect, was an organization that worked in the shadows, these killers from the Yin Department had more backbone than those from the Mire Sect.
Even when Pei Xuanjing, himself, took action, these killers chose death rather than surrender. Even if they were overpowered, they would choose suicide.
If it weren’t for Pei Xuanjing knocking out a sham grandmaster and a third-grade martial artist at the end, they probably wouldn’t have captured a single one of them alive.
After capturing these people, Pei Xuanjing swapped to a new robe brought by Lin Qingyi, then moved over to King Pindola’s corpse. First, he picked up the Thousand-Refined Steel Whip that King Pindola had used earlier.
Having examined the whip and swung it a few times, he set it aside.
Then, he hoped to find some clues or martial arts skills on King Pindola’s corpse.
Unfortunately, King Pindola did not have any martial arts skills on his person. Perhaps because he was a highly placed official whose every need was attended to by others, he didn’t even have silver banknotes on him.
However, Pei Xuanjing did have a discovery. He fumbled out a sheet from King Pindola’s arms. It was not made of gold or jade.
[Acquired unique item – Page of the Netherworld’s Book, able to refine and acquire 100000 Taoyun.] This was the response the Life Simulator gave when Pei Xuanjing held the paper page in his hand.
At the same time, the loot from the Brocade Guards was not small, they found a top martial arts skill, a martial art, and two each from middle grade martial arts skills and martial arts, along with some elixirs and a few silver banknotes from within the mansion and on the bodies of the grandmasters and sham grandmasters.
According to the agreement between Pei Xuanjing and Lin Qingyi, these martial arts skills were first handed over to Pei Xuanjing, who would later provide copies to the Brocade Guards.
As for the elixirs and silver banknotes, Pei Xuanjing picked out a few of the elixirs for his own use. Then, he turned down the ten thousand silver banknotes that Lin Qingyi wanted to give him and distributed the rest of the items among the Brocade Guards present.
He still had the banknotes he took from the Three Wolves of MO Bei and his own savings, amounting to nearly two hundred thousand banknotes. He didn’t need this extra ten thousand banknotes.
His actions garnered him the gratitude of the Brocade Guards present and won him their loyalty.
Here in Tiandu, such a commotion would inevitably draw onlookers from various powers. Even though the Brocade Guards were guarding the perimeter, it had already attracted the attention of various influencers.
Representatives from the Military Equipment Department, Capital Guards, Two Factories, and Six Gates had arrived early, but because their rank was low, they didn’t dare to interfere with the Brocade Guards.
However, as the higher-ranking individuals began to arrive, the Brocade Guard’s defense couldn’t keep them at bay.
Fortunately, the cleanup had been completed by this time, and Pei Xuanjing and the others were preparing to leave.
However, with an incident involving the Yin Department and the death of a second-class martial artist, even with the influence of the Brocade Guards, other factions wouldn’t let the matter rest.
The representatives from the Military Equipment Department and Capital Guards were either unwilling to provoke or had no interest in provoking the Brocade Guards.
But the representatives from the Two Factories and Six Gates were not the kind to back down easily. As soon as they saw Pei Xuanjing and the others come out, they immediately surrounded them..
