Thunder Method Breaks the Demonic

Under the dual stimulation of body and mind, Guoyi Fist finally broke through its limits!

Unfortunately, it was to no avail; without the reinforcement of Martial Will, he could not inflict even the slightest harm upon the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon was merely surprised that a tiny ration could actually break free from its restraints.

Setting aside its playful mood, it suddenly plunged its transparent body down from mid-air, launching a dive toward Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan's breakthrough was useless; he could only watch as the Heavenly Demon burrowed completely into his body. As his consciousness blurred, he lost control of his body once again.

Finally, he walked mechanically into Tong Family Alley and stood at the edge of the wall of the first house.

"Hang it up, hee hee hee."

Death God let out a sneer.

Controlled, Meng Chuan tied a noose and fastened it around his neck.

His time of death was at hand.

Just at this critical moment.

"BOOM!"

A thunderbolt tore through the night sky. Luo Guanyun held a small golden spear suspended in his right hand, descending with the wind like a deity of the Thunder Department from the heavens.

After landing, Luo Guanyun used his mind to control the small golden spear, causing it to stand upright in his palm. Azure lightning qi coiled around the shaft, and the tip of the spear instantly spat out golden explosive thunder, turning the entire Tong Family Alley into a pool of lightning.

Facing a powerful enemy, the Heavenly Demon had no intention of fighting back; it immediately controlled Meng Chuan's body and turned to flee.

Because it discovered that this person's strength was too terrifying—a single strike had shattered the force field it had cast over the entire Tong Family Alley.

It was already too late; lightning was the ultimate bane of the Heavenly Demon.

Dark clouds instantly gathered above Meng Chuan's head. A violent explosion echoed from within the clouds, and a bolt of golden lightning suddenly struck down.

"Golden Thunder: Purification!"

The Heavenly Demon was blasted into oblivion by this strike. Meng Chuan, who had been possessed, fared better; the Golden Thunder focused on purification and targeted evil spirits, so it did not cause any real damage to his body, though he looked a bit charred at the moment.

"Master!"

As Meng Chuan opened his mouth to speak, black smoke billowed out. Then, his vision went black, and he collapsed straight to the ground, fainting.

The black smoke was the residue of the dead Heavenly Demon; as the wind blew, the smoke dissipated, leaving nothing behind.

Luo Guanyun flipped his hand to retract the golden spear and walked quickly to Meng Chuan's side to check his condition.

"Hmm, nothing serious."

He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number, which was answered after a single ring.

"Hey, Bald Ape, the person has been saved, but you were way too slow."

On the other end of the line was the Qindu District police chief, Mountain Shaking Ape, Long Jiu.

At this moment, he was swinging through the city's skyscrapers like an ape.

He used his right hand to grab the beams of buildings, then used his momentum to swing his body forward, while his other massive, hairy palm held the tiny phone, looking quite comical.

"It had to be you, old Luo. What's the situation in Tong Family Alley? Is the Heavenly Demon dead? And for God's sake, stop calling me Bald Ape!"

The Qindu District Police Department had a dedicated Sky Eye Department; once magnetic field fluctuations occurred in the district, they could immediately issue an alert, allowing other personnel to respond rapidly.

Tonight, the duty officer at the Sky Eye Department detected abnormal fluctuations near Tong Family Alley and immediately reported it to the director, who then reported it to Chief Long Jiu.

Through surveillance and big data analysis prior to the force field disruption, they determined the victim was Meng Chuan. Combining this with Meng Chuan's personal information, Long Jiu immediately contacted his college classmate, Luo Guanyun.

He knew that Luo Guanyun, who specialized in the Xingyi Thunder Method, was much faster than him and might have a chance to save the boy from his martial arts gym.

Luo Guanyun did not speak. He turned to look at the horrific scene in Tong Family Alley, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, placed it in his mouth, and ignited it with a spark of electricity from his fingertip, taking a deep drag.

Seeing that Luo Guanyun remained silent, Chief Long felt a sense of foreboding.

"Hello? Hello? Old Luo, are you there?"

Exhaling a cloud of smoke, Luo Guanyun spoke:

"I killed that thing, but there are likely no survivors left in Tong Family Alley. They were all hanging on the walls and had been dead for a while. The scene... it's unbearable. You should come see the details yourself."

Hearing Luo Guanyun's words, Long Jiu's heart trembled. If it were truly as the other said, his career as a police chief was likely over.

Rushing as fast as he could, Chief Long finally arrived at the scene three minutes later. Luo Guanyun stood to the side, smoking one cigarette after another, with no intention of stepping forward to speak.

Gazing at the hellish scene before him, Long Jiu removed his hat and knelt on one knee.

All the criminal police officers of the Qindu District had arrived. The captain gave orders at the scene to seal off the road and secure the area, then ran over to Long Jiu's side.

"Reporting to the Chief, the scene has been sealed!"

Long Jiu ignored him, and the captain remained in a bowing posture toward Long Jiu.

After a few minutes, the captain suddenly realized what was happening, turned around, and shouted:

"Everyone! Remove your hats and kneel on one knee to mourn the victims!"

Long Jiu stood up and bowed to Luo Guanyun, then asked him to take Meng Chuan away first, leaving the rest of the matters for him to handle.

After Luo Guanyun walked away, Long Jiu stood up.

"You bunch of useless freeloaders, myself included, we all deserve to be shot."

"We haven't even caught the last Heavenly Demon, and now another one has popped up. If Master Luo hadn't arrived in time, it would have escaped again."

"The country has spent a massive amount of manpower and material resources to build the Sky Eye. Are we in the Sky Eye Department just a bunch of freeloaders? Why are we always playing catch-up, only detecting the Heavenly Demon after it has already committed a crime?"

"Lock up everyone in the Sky Eye Department, every last one of them! Interrogate them one by one. You could call it negligence last time, but what about this time? Hundreds of people are dead, damn it! If anyone dares to tell me it's just negligence again, I won't even wait for the Ministry of Law to judge them; I'll execute them on the spot!"

That night, many people in Qindu District did not sleep at all.

Luo Guanyun did not take Meng Chuan home, but instead brought him back to his own residence.

This was because, according to regulations, anyone below the rank of Martial Artist who has come into contact with a Heavenly Demon must undergo a comprehensive physical examination by professional police personnel to ensure there are no traces of the Heavenly Demon left before they can have contact with ordinary people.

Without the protection of Martial Will and Xiantian True Qi, the remnants of a Heavenly Demon can disrupt a person's sanity; some powerful Heavenly Demons can even use a mere scrap of flesh to possess a body and return to life.

Personnel who have come into contact with a Heavenly Demon are usually kept in the observation room at the police station, waiting for the examiners to arrive and confirm their physical condition before they are allowed to leave.

But with Luo Guanyun present, it was clearly an exceptional case.

After a while, Meng Chuan slowly regained consciousness.

"Awake? You're a lucky kid; it's a good thing I arrived in time."

Meng Chuan remained silent, staring wide-eyed at the ceiling.

He didn't dare to close his eyes, because every time he did, his mind was filled with the images of those who had died.

He hated his own helplessness, and he hated that he hadn't discovered it sooner. It was clear that Tong Family Alley hadn't been like this just a few days ago.

Luo Guanyun lit a cigarette nearby, one after another.

"Kid, you've already done great. If it weren't for you, when would they ever have gotten justice?"

"Don't dwell too much on useless things. This is just how the world is. You must become a Martial Artist, because when ordinary people face a Heavenly Demon, they are just like a candle in the wind."
