Supernatural Ability Perfection

"Boom!"

The sword light, crackling with lightning, traversed a thousand meters and instantly pierced through Guangye's body.

As a top-tier Martial King, his physique had already been tempered to its peak, far surpassing that of ordinary Martial Kings. In addition, he had committed all sorts of evil deeds under the guise of the Out-of-Control Person, accumulating a large amount of wealth, and was even wearing a top-grade spirit armor.

The Thunder Sword pierced through his body, but failed to kill him on the spot.

He struggled to maintain his composure despite the numbness and stiffness brought on by the raging thunder. The Divine Ability he was building gradually spiraled out of control. He glared at Gu Jinlai and cried out, "Gu... Gu Jinlai... look carefully... all these people... died because of you!"

"Stop!"

A resounding shout has echoed Gu Jinlai.

Hahahaha!

Amidst a burst of somewhat manic laughter, a powerful force, too strong even for Guangye himself to control, was unleashed from his center. Countless wind blades composed of Gang Qi resembled peerless divine weapons, or even a category 18 hurricane, slashing wildly in all directions.

Wherever the blade struck, terrified townspeople were shredded to pieces, and even those hiding in houses were not spared.

The violent power contained within the blade's aura directly sliced and shattered all the houses within a radius of several hundred meters, causing countless buildings to collapse. A hurricane carrying smoke and dust billowed out, engulfing areas a kilometer away.

The very heart of the town was almost completely leveled by this attack.

"Call out!"

His figure, Gu Jinlai traversing time and space, swiftly arrived above the town. With a sudden wave of his hand, he swept away the billowing dust.

Looking at the town center, which was once quite lively but has now become a hell, and the countless townspeople screaming in agony as they were cut by the Gang Qi and crushed by collapsing houses, Gu Jinlai's eyes were filled with an uncontrollable coldness.

Crazy!

Hirono's final actions were downright insane!

Just to make him feel guilty, and to prevent him from gathering his martial arts will, they did not hesitate to destroy half of the town, causing thousands of deaths and injuries.

This approach...

This is utterly depraved and insane.

"Damn it."

The town's inhabitants, who Gu Jinlai, shooting directly into the sky above Lei Yuanzong like a bolt of lightning.

"Lei Yuanzong colluded with out-of-control individuals to plot a rebellion. Now that the culprits have all been executed, I will give the remaining disciples a chance to make amends. Go down the mountain immediately to rescue the townspeople. Those who perform exceptionally well may be given lenient treatment at my discretion."

His voice quickly spread throughout the entire Lei Yuan Sect through a special method.

Because Lei Dao had shattered the formation covering the core area of Lei Yuan Sect at the last moment, everyone witnessed the Gu Jinlai scene of Lei Dao, the Martial King, being annihilated.

Furthermore, he subsequently intervened and killed the top-tier Martial King Guangye, and Guangye's actions...

This can indeed be described as the behavior of someone who has lost control.

At his command, a large number of Lei Yuanzong disciples came down the mountain to rescue the townspeople.

After all, many people were originally residents of this town, but later joined Lei Yuanzong after passing the assessment.

Their parents and relatives are still in the town.

After ordering his disciples to descend the mountain, Gu Jinlai's gaze fell upon Fu Youguang.

Immediately, the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Academy, who had witnessed firsthand the absolute power displayed Gu Jinlai, collapsed to his knees, his legs giving way. "Head... I... I was just momentarily blinded, that's why..."

"No further explanation is needed."

Gu Jinlai said, "Organize the rescue. After the rescue is over, commit suicide. I won't hold your family responsible for this."

"Suicide..."

Fu Youguang's face turned deathly pale. "You... you can't do this, we're both members of the Law Enforcement Academy..."

"I don't believe you didn't accept bribes from the Bai and Zhang families. When you accepted these bribes and framed your superiors, you had already violated the laws of the Holy Dynasty and were considered a criminal. How dare you presume to be on par with me?"

Gu Jinlai coldly looked at Fu Youguang: "If you refuse to organize a rescue, then so be it. I will execute you on the spot. You better pray that the things and money that the Bai family and Zhang family bribed you with, and that your parents, wife and children have not used them. Otherwise, I will have all of these stolen money recovered, and whatever amount was used will be made up."

"I'll go, I'll go."

Fu Youguang hurriedly pleaded, "My family is unaware of this matter. Please, Headmaster, show mercy. I will organize a rescue immediately, and once the rescue is over..."

At this point, he paused slightly, his eyes filled with regret and pain. "I will give you an explanation, Headmaster."

After saying that, he quickly rushed down the mountain and called to the disciples of Lei Yuanzong.

Most of the disciples will respond to the call of Gu Jinlai and Fu Youguang to join the rescue.

However, not everyone had this awareness. Some people with ulterior motives, seeing many disciples rushing down the mountain, also mingled among the disciples, hoping to take the opportunity to leave Lei Yuan Sect.

But they didn't know that Gu Jinlai their high vantage point.

Those disciples and elders who have no Karma are fine.

But those disciples and elders whose bodies were stained with Bright Red or even light red Karma soon encountered thunderous swords that had fallen from the Gu Jinlai after they had escaped some distance.

After annihilating more than ten disciples and elders in one fell swoop, the remaining people immediately became obedient and wholeheartedly joined the rescue team.

Gu Jinlai also selected a disciple who was free from Karma and sent him to the Enforcement Academy to inform Tang Zhengxiao and have him lead people to search Lei Yuanzong.

The town was busy for most of the day as bodies were constantly being cleared out.

However, it was fortunate that some people had a complete body; some people who happened to be located in the center of the town didn't even have a body left.

Those who have witnessed this scene Gu Jinlai have deeply felt the harm that top cultivators can cause when they turn to evil.

However, he was unable to prevent this tragedy.

"My strength is ultimately a bit weak. If I were stronger, I could have killed all the Martial Kings in an instant, and Guangye wouldn't have had the chance to run to the town and cause such great damage."

The Way of the Heart, Through the Gu Jinlai.

He glanced at the town and didn't waste any more time or energy.

The deed is done, and all he can do is try his best to make amends, rather than getting stuck in self-blame.

Several hours later, Tang Zhengxiao arrived in the town with his men.

While ordering a rescue operation, he led a group of elite troops to Lei Yuanzong.

Down the mountain, he already knew what had happened. Seeing Gu Jinlai flipping through several books in the main hall of Lei Yuan Sect, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Master, it was our insufficient investigation that led to your perilous situation. Please punish us..."

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

Gu Jinlai put down his books, waved his hand, and asked, "How is the situation down the mountain?"

"Thanks to the help of Fu... and those martial artists, all the people buried underground have been found, and the wounded have also received treatment."

Tang Zhengxiao said.

What about casualties?

"The statistics are still being compiled. Preliminary data shows that more than 1,600 people have died and the number of injured is around 2,300."

This number is close to four thousand.

This is the destructive power that a Martial King can unleash without restraint.

The reason there were only close to four thousand casualties is largely thanks to the thunderous sword unleashed at a crucial moment, a feat unleashed Gu Jinlai; otherwise...

With King Wu's power, it wouldn't take long to raze this town to the ground and kill everyone in it.

"I will return now. There is still a Martial King alive in the Zhang family. You should handle the aftermath."

Gu Jinlai gave an order.

"Yes."

Tang Zhengxiao repeatedly agreed.

"I said I wouldn't pursue the crimes of Lei Yuanzong's ordinary disciples and elders, but Lei Yuanzong can no longer exist from now on. We will move Lei Yuanzong back to the Enforcement Academy."

Gu Jinlai stood up and put down the booklet he had been reading.

This is the martial arts lineage of Lei Yuanzong.

He no longer values this level of inheritance; at best, it can only be used as a reference.

"Clear."

Tang Zhengxiao paused, then continued, "I'm afraid some people won't cooperate..."

After all, besides the three Martial Kings, Lei Yuanzong also has dozens of Martial Sect Masters and Martial Generals.

"Don't worry, I've already dealt with those who refused to cooperate."

From Gu Jinlai, it has been said, "It is unlikely that anyone will remain stubborn and unyielding."

"I'm relieved to hear what the academy director said."

Tang Zhengxiao nodded.

At that moment, Gu Jinlai left Lei Yuanzong, carrying some valuable spoils of war, and headed straight for Fengyu City.

As a high-level Celestial Person, Bai Fengyu not only possesses a top-grade spirit armor, but also a quasi-Dao artifact-level flying sword.

Although the spirit armor has been damaged Gu Jinlai and repairing it would require a lot of resources, the quasi-Dao artifact-level flying sword was genuinely undamaged.

Compared to top-grade Spirit Artifact that cost around 100 million, quasi-Dao artifacts often cost up to 1 billion.

With just this one quasi-Dao artifact, he could pay off all his loans.

If he didn't have to pay off the loan, he could have learned several more Divine Ability and ten martial arts techniques.

This is only the spoils obtained from killing Bai Fengyu alone.

Almost every other Martial King possesses one or two top-grade Spirit Artifact.

Because this time, Gu Jinlai defeated them with overwhelming force, many people's Spirit Artifact were preserved, and even those that were damaged were not serious.

The total value of these Spirit Artifacts and supplies is definitely over one billion.

One battle was all it took for him to escape poverty and rise from the brink of subsistence to a life of affluence.

The gazes of the Gu Jinlai swept over these Spirit Artifacts, leaving behind two top-grade spiritual swords.

The rest will be sold together.

After taking inventory, he focused his attention on his mental world.

Not everyone among the Martial Kings who surrounded and killed him was burdened with Karma. Two of them were only at the Light Red Name level, but others, like Guangye, had Karma so deep it was as Dark Red as ink.

In addition, some elders of Lei Yuanzong were also burdened with Karma, and after a round of annihilation, the clear light on his body recovered and increased by sixteen rays.

Sixteen beams of clear light...

Gu Jinlai, beams of clear light have been directly projected onto the Thunder Sword.

Each ray of clear light gave him a deeper understanding of this Divine Ability.

When he unleashed the seventh beam of light, the transformation of the Thunder Sword finally reached its peak.

He understood all the mysteries and changes.

The lightning power within not only causes damage and paralysis upon hitting a target, but also further disrupts the cultivator's nerve signals, preventing signal transmission and exacerbating the disconnect between thought and body.

In other words, the paralyzing effect has been enhanced.

"If I had mastered this Divine Ability earlier, Guangye, who was hit by the Thunder Sword, would never have had the chance to unleash a devastating attack."

Gu Jinlai.

He pondered for a moment, then glanced at the ball of light representing the Thunder Sword.

Thunder Sword: Mastery → Perfection.
