Demonic Path Martial Arts

"Surround them!"

At Wei Fan's command, yamen runners immediately rushed to both sides and encircled the Lu Family residence.

"What are you doing?" the four guards shouted.

Wei Fan barked, "The Lu Family has colluded with demons. The yamen is here to arrest suspects and investigate the case. You are merely guards hired by the Lu Family, so you had best not go looking for trouble.

"Surrender quietly. If it is determined that you have no ties to demons, you will naturally be released."

After glancing at the four men and seeing no change on the panel, Wei Fan did not kill them.

Upon hearing that demons were involved, the four men immediately set down their weapons and allowed the yamen runners to bind them.

They were merely guards hired by the Lu Family. Naturally, they would not fight the yamen runners for the Lu Family's sake.

"Open!"

Without even knocking, Wei Fan stepped forward and kicked the Lu Family's gates to pieces.

Luo Wen's eyelids twitched wildly. With this kind of style, were they sure they were not here to wipe out the whole family?

"The Lu Family has colluded with demons. Let not a single one escape. Any who resist will be killed without mercy."

Wei Fan stepped over the threshold. The Lu Family's servants had already been alarmed, all staring in horror at the yamen runners filing in one after another.

Like the four gate guards outside, these servants and maids did not resist. They obediently squatted down and clasped their heads.

"I am Lu Tianming! Which yamen are you runners from, to dare behave so outrageously in my Lu Family?"

An explosive shout came from the main hall. Several people quickly strode over, their faces filled with fury.

"We are constables from the East District Yamen. It has now been determined that someone in the Lu Family colluded with demons. No one is to resist, or you will be killed without mercy. Those uninvolved with demons will naturally be unharmed."

Lu Tianming's expression shifted slightly. The moment he heard the words East District, a bad feeling rose in his heart. "Absurd! You say my Lu Family colluded with demons, so that makes it true?

"Do you know what kind of place my Lu Family is? Where is your Clerk Wei Qingyuan? I am his elder brother-in-law. Tell him to come speak to me."

He did not yet know that his son, Lu Mingjie, was already dead, and he brought up Wei Qingyuan, the East District clerk.

Wei Qingyuan's name, along with Lu Tianming's status as Wei Qingyuan's elder brother-in-law, truly intimidated quite a few yamen runners.

Though they had followed Luo Wen and Wei Fan here to the Lu Family, very few of them actually knew of Lu Tianming's relationship with Wei Qingyuan.

For a moment, many yamen runners stopped what they were doing and looked blankly at Luo Wen.

It was Luo Wen, not Wei Fan, who had ordered them here. Wei Fan could not yet mobilize so many yamen runners.

Luo Wen was this bold? He actually dared arrest a clerk's elder brother-in-law?

"Whether they colluded with demons or not, the yamen will know after questioning them."

Wei Qingyuan's name naturally could not intimidate Wei Fan. He and Hu Qing had already approached Lu Tianming and reached out to seize him.

"Insolence! A mere constable dares run wild in the Lu residence!"

The middle-aged man beside Lu Tianming surged with True Qi. His five fingers turned black as ink as he clawed toward Wei Fan's hand with the force to pierce gold and split stone. In an instant, the air shrieked as though blades were slicing through it.

With such power, this man was undoubtedly an expert in finger techniques. The killing force of his fingers far surpassed ordinary swords and sabers; even ordinary blades likely could not withstand a single claw from him.

"You practice finger techniques too? I happen to know a little myself!"

Wei Fan grinned. The hand reaching for Lu Tianming shifted, his five fingers flashing with bright white light as they clawed toward the man.

"Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger?"

The moment Wei Fan moved, Zuo Qiu recognized the finger technique he was using.

The Demon Suppressing Division's Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger was far too famous. Anyone who practiced finger techniques knew the terror of this art.

Its power could almost rival True Meaning Martial Arts. It was known as invincible beneath True Meaning Martial Arts, a technique countless finger-technique martial artists dreamed of obtaining. Yet aside from those in the yamen, no one had the opportunity to learn Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger.

Light flashed in Zuo Qiu's eyes, and the inky black on his fingers deepened by another degree.

He wanted to see whether the Demon Suppressing Division's Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger or his Three Moon Condensing Evil Finger was stronger—who truly possessed the strongest finger technique beneath True Meaning Martial Arts.

Pfft!

Their fingers collided in an instant. At the moment of contact, the blackness coating Zuo Qiu's five fingers was scattered, transforming into black smoke that shot outward.

Wei Fan casually raised his other hand and slapped apart the black smoke rushing toward Hu Qing. But Lu Tianming and the others standing nearby were not as fortunate as Hu Qing. They were struck by the black smoke in an instant.

Lu Tianming was not a martial artist. Before he could react, he was sent flying backward, blood spraying from his mouth in midair.

At the same time, a terrifying streak of black rapidly spread from where he had been struck, dispersing throughout his body.

By the time he hit the ground, his entire body looked as though it had been stained with a thin layer of ink, his life force swiftly draining away.

The other two men standing with him met the same fate. The force from Wei Fan and Zuo Qiu's clash killed them on the spot.

"What a vicious martial art! This is the legendary demonic-path martial art, the Three Moon Condensing Evil Finger. Do not let him scratch you."

Hu Qing was horrified!

Though her cultivation was lower than Wei Fan's, her father was the Head Instructor, and her knowledge far surpassed his. She recognized Zuo Qiu's martial art at once.

Even as she warned Wei Fan, she hurriedly backed away, afraid she would suffer the same unforeseen calamity as Lu Tianming and be shaken to death by the aftermath of their clash.

"This finger technique is not bad, but it still falls short of hurting me!"

Wei Fan's calm voice rang out. Hu Qing looked over to see that, in the collision of finger techniques, Zuo Qiu had been forced back several steps. The flesh on all five of his fingers had been blasted away, exposing stark white bones.

"Brother Lu..."

Zuo Qiu howled in grief.

He had never expected to kill Lu Tianming. Who could have imagined that a mere constable would be so ferocious, suppressing him, a vicious demonic-path man, in a clash of finger techniques?

In that instant, he had wanted to save Lu Tianming, but he had been knocked back in the exchange and had no strength to rescue him.

"Stop howling. I'll send you down there. You should be able to catch up to him."

Wei Fan stepped forward, curling his five fingers slightly as he grabbed for Zuo Qiu's head.

His five fingers swept through the air like sharp daggers, producing a piercing shriek.

Zuo Qiu's expression changed drastically. He could no longer spare any thought for Lu Tianming's death. "You are no ordinary constable. You are from the Demon Suppressing Division!"

His Three Moon Condensing Evil Finger had already reached perfection. To defeat him in finger techniques, Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger would have to have reached perfection as well.

Finger techniques were notoriously difficult to cultivate. His Three Moon Condensing Evil Finger was a demonic-path technique, and only by taking shortcuts and using human lives to cultivate it had he managed to perfect it.

In his eyes, other than the Demon Suppressing Division, nowhere else could there be such a young monster who had perfected Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger at such an age.

Zuo Qiu retreated at top speed, striking Wei Fan with a Sky-Splitting Palm.

After witnessing the terror of Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger, he did not dare let Wei Fan's fingers catch him. As a finger-technique expert himself, he naturally knew the horrifying consequences of being grabbed.

If his arm were caught, it would be torn straight off. If his head were caught, his skull would be peeled open in an instant.

The ferocity of finger techniques even surpassed swords and sabers. Wherever they caught, a chunk of flesh would essentially be torn away.

Rip!

Wei Fan grabbed and shattered Zuo Qiu's palm force. Activating the perfected Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Steps, he caught up to Zuo Qiu in a flash of lightning. His five fingers pierced through Zuo Qiu's protective True Qi and landed firmly atop Zuo Qiu's forehead.

At once, Zuo Qiu did not dare move in the slightest, his body frozen in place.

He knew that if he moved again, Wei Fan would surely crush his head in one grab. Just as he wondered why Wei Fan had not killed him immediately, Wei Fan's voice sounded:

"Believe it or not, I am not from the Demon Suppressing Division!"

How could that be!

The thought had only just arisen when Zuo Qiu felt a sharp pain in his head. His skull was crushed like a watermelon.
