Everyone was stunned, especially the children sharing a table with Qin Luo and the others. Just moments ago, Qin Luo had even snatched their desserts to eat.
Qin Luo and Li Yi stepped outside. He still held a piece of dessert in his hand and did not forget to pop it into his mouth.
He smiled at Mo Yehan. "Mo Yehan, you have broken the law. You are under arrest!"
The scene now seemed somewhat absurd, and everyone's eyes turned toward Xiao Teng.
Mo Yehan was currently Xiao Teng's hostage, so how had he suddenly become someone the Demon Suppression Bureau wanted to arrest?
Xiao Teng said in a deep voice, "Everyone from the Demon Suppression Bureau, how about you deal with your business after I settle my grudge with Mo Yehan?"
Qin Luo shook his head and said with a smile, "Did you not hear what I just said clearly?"
"Anyone who dares obstruct the Demon Suppression Bureau in carrying out its duties shall be treated as equally guilty!"
"Could it be that you took part in the massacre that wiped out the Martial Origin Marquis Residence of Great Qin?!"
Qin Luo barked the accusation, and Xiao Teng went numb all over!
He howled inwardly, Can't you see that Mo Yehan and I are enemies? How could I possibly collude with Mo Yehan to kill people?!
"Hand Mo Yehan over to me at once, or else—"
Before Qin Luo could finish, the old man from the Blood Moon Sacred Land cut him off.
"Or else what? Is the Holy Son of my Blood Moon Sacred Land someone your Demon Suppression Bureau can arrest whenever it pleases?"
"This is the Ten Thousand Mountains, not your Great Qin Dynasty!"
Xiao Teng's obstruction had already left him with a bellyful of fire. Now Qin Luo had jumped out as well, making his fury burn even hotter.
He was a dignified Cave Heaven Realm expert and an elder of the Blood Moon Sacred Land. Did he not need to save face?
Li Yi cast the old man a cold glance and stepped forward, the longsword in his hand about to leave its sheath.
Qin Luo stopped him, then fixed his gaze on the old man and asked, "Do you intend to obstruct the Demon Suppression Bureau in carrying out its duties?"
"So what if I do!" The old man was exceedingly defiant!
Whenever they faced the Great Qin Dynasty, the people of the Blood Moon Sacred Land had always been tough. It stemmed from the friction and hatred between them and the Great Qin Dynasty.
Quite a few of their disciples had committed all manner of evil within the Great Qin Dynasty and been punished according to the law by its people.
The Great Qin Dynasty had not given the Blood Moon Sacred Land any face at all. One of his own disciples had even been beaten to death last year after clashing with someone from the Martial Origin Marquis Residence.
"Resisting the law leaves only one road!"
Qin Luo happened to want to test how strong he was now. An Early Cave Heaven Realm expert was just right for him to sharpen himself against.
The Azure Edge Sword left its sheath in his hand and pointed straight at the opponent. He said coldly, "Obstructing the Demon Suppression Bureau in carrying out its duties is punishable by death!"
Whoosh! He charged straight at the old man.
Another Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator—another Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator daring to challenge his authority. The old man's face darkened like still water.
"A mere Spirit Transformation cultivator dares attack this old man? Today, this old man will teach you a proper lesson on behalf of the Great Qin Dynasty and let you know how high the heavens are and how thick the earth is!"
Blood Moon Palm!
Blood Moon Suppresses Heaven!
A massive phantom handprint emerged. Beneath the glow of a curved blood moon, it appeared incomparably cold and sinister as it smashed viciously toward Qin Luo.
He intended to suppress Qin Luo on the spot with the force of thunder, making him understand whom he could offend and whom he could not!
For Spirit Transformation to challenge Cave Heaven, to strike upward against the heavens—he deserved death!
Golden Edge Splits Mountain! A dazzling golden radiance flashed over Qin Luo's body. Having devoured Lin Xuan's Five-Elements Spirit Body, he too could manifest the sharpness of the metal element.
Combined with Ye Chen's Innate Sword Bone, the power of this sword technique rose by a great margin.
A Saint Tier perfected sword technique!
"Break!" Qin Luo roared. The Azure Edge Sword pierced the huge handprint, and incomparably sharp Sword Qi instantly tore the handprint before him apart.
"Die!" His Sword Force did not diminish as he lunged viciously toward the old man.
"How is this possible?!" The old man was horrified. That move had nearly been his full-strength strike, yet it had not even lasted a breath in Qin Luo's hands.
That was enough to prove that Qin Luo possessed combat strength on par with his own.
Blood Moon Seal! Come forth! The old man roared, and a great seal smashed toward Qin Luo. This was the old man's life-bound weapon, an enormous seal.
"A mere Heaven Tier? Trash!" Qin Luo thrust his sword into the Blood Moon Seal.
Tremendous force surged from the Blood Moon Seal, seeking to smash Qin Luo straight into the ground, but Qin Luo forcibly held it back with his own immense strength!
Pure physical strength!
A piercing screech rang out. The old man's eyes nearly split apart as he saw a crack appear on his Blood Moon Seal!
That was right—a crack!
Blood Moon Secret Art, Blood Sacrifice! The old man roared. A massive blood moon appeared behind him, and the blood energy within his body began to burn. A dazzling crimson light shone down from the blood moon onto his body.
His body visibly began to swell, and his entire aura surged by a great deal.
"Boy, you should be proud that you forced this old man to such a point. Today, this old man will definitely suppress you on the spot!"
Two puny Spirit Transformation cultivators—one had left him struggling to cope, while the other had forced him to use a secret art. He was furious now, and the consequences had to be severe!
Boom! A gigantic handprint crashed toward Qin Luo. This strike was more terrifying than any of the old man's previous attacks.
"Burning Origin Essence, tsk tsk..." Qin Luo shook his head with a smile. "You truly are trash."
"I'm done playing with you!" He had already determined his strength. He was more than capable of contending against an Early Cave Heaven Realm expert!
Sure enough, the Nine-Turn Golden Body Scripture was heaven-defying! The strength of his physical body at the second turn had already reached the level of a Cave Heaven Realm expert.
The Taixu Bell appeared in his hand and rang out with a single strike.
Dong! The sound echoed through the old man's mind, shaking his soul.
Qin Luo seized the moment of weakness to take his life!
The Azure Edge Sword swept out from his hand. Swish! One sword severed the old man's arm.
"Ah!" A pained howl rang out. The old man awoke from his previous state, but in the next instant, the Taixu Bell smashed straight toward him.
"No!" Watching the Taixu Bell draw ever closer above his head, he let out a furious roar.
Bang! The Taixu Bell came crashing down. The Human Emperor Banner was brought forth!
"Old man, you were too weak." Qin Luo's humiliating voice was the final sound the old man heard.
The man died, and his soul was taken into the Human Emperor Banner.
Dong! The sound of the Taixu Bell striking the ground rang in everyone's ears, making their entire bodies shudder.
When they looked at Qin Luo again, their eyes carried a trace of horror.
Xiao Teng's gaze toward Qin Luo was likewise filled with deep solemnity and vigilance.
Qin Luo swept his gaze around and said lightly, "This is the consequence of obstructing the Great Qin Dynasty's Demon Suppression Bureau in carrying out its duties. Does anyone else wish to experience it?"
The entire place was silent as cicadas in winter. Not one person dared speak.
Qin Luo walked toward Xiao Teng and said indifferently, "Hand over the person my Demon Suppression Bureau seeks to arrest!"
Xiao Teng looked deeply at Qin Luo twice. After hesitating for a moment, he still shoved Mo Yehan out.
Li Yi stepped forward and seized Mo Yehan in one motion. The fugitive had been captured.
After handing him over, Xiao Teng extended a hand toward Song Jinyu. "Jinyu, let's go."
Song Jinyu's cheeks flushed faintly. She nodded and said, "All right."
They had only taken two steps when Qin Luo's voice sounded behind them. "Did I say you could leave?"
Xiao Teng turned around and looked at Qin Luo. "I have already handed the man over to you. What else do you want?"
"You obstructed the Demon Suppression Bureau in carrying out its duties, yet you want to leave so easily?"
"If I let you leave so easily, where would the Demon Suppression Bureau's dignity be?"
"Besides, he said you were an accomplice in the massacre that wiped out the Martial Origin Marquis Residence!" Qin Luo pointed at Mo Yehan.
Mo Yehan blinked, as if to say, Did I ever say that?
