Chapter 316: Chapter 8 Liang Hui: In the Age of Technology, I Will Bring It to an End

The night was cool.

Outside Lin’an City, the lights were bright.

Amid the rumbling sounds, a succession of tanks formed several long lines, advancing toward the city.

In tight formation, numerous fully armed soldiers holding firearms followed alongside the tanks.

Plane after plane flew across the sky, occupying the heavens, searching high and low.

This was the power of the dynasty.

From the moment they received the news of the rebellion in Linhai City to the time the army assembled, only a few hours had passed.

From the emperor to the court officials, there was only one will regarding the events unfolding in Lin’an City.

Kill!

At any cost, annihilate them completely.

In this era of rampant ghosts and goblins, they needed to use this incident to deter all those who dared defy them across the vast lands.

The bottom line of the Da Yu Dynasty was not to be crossed.

With the collective strength, in an instant, they could turn a hundred miles to scorched earth.

If you offended them, then be prepared to be enemies with the civilizational achievements of thousands of years of humanity.

"Heh, you say that Heretic Qing Cang possesses extraordinary powers."

A man dressed in military uniform sat atop an armored vehicle, his expression stern, with Yang Li and Yang Shan sitting beside him.

The highest-ranking officer enunciated each word.

"Even if it were Immortal Gods, I would slaughter them tonight."

Such a huge commotion naturally couldn’t be concealed from Liang Hui, who hadn’t yet left the city.

Amid the roaring engines of the vehicles, home after home turned their lights on, with residents either stretching their heads out or walking out of their houses to look around.

"Not a bad lineup."

Liang Hui stood atop a tall building, his yellow Taoist Robe fluttering in the wind, his eyes dispassionately observing the technological creations closing in from all around.

At this moment, not only were the common people paying attention to this place, but also various Ghost Subduers and secret agents from different countries who had received the news were focused here.

They watched the figure robed in yellow.

"Qing Cang, you assaulted officials and slaughtered security personnel; today, we aim to arrest you according to law."

"Surrender, or die!"

The voice blared through speakers, echoing across the entire building.

The young man cast his eyes downward, traversing space, ’seeing’ the officer seated in the armored vehicle, and also saw the pale-faced Yang Family father and daughter.

Liang Hui’s mouth twisted into a smile as he reached out with his hand.

"Today, I will personally bring an end to the technological era you have created."

"Go to hell, and repent!"

His middle finger curved slightly, tapping forward.

Thump!

Thump~

The light sound of knocking echoed on the tanks, on the planes, inside human bodies.

For miles around, the incessant knocking filled the air.

Planes, like birds with broken wings, plummeted from the vault of heaven, crashing through houses and stirring up great dust clouds, followed by thunderous explosions.

Tanks swerved as if drunkenly, colliding here and there, then erupted in bright flames.

Even the soldiers stationed on the ground burst open abruptly, like blood-colored fireworks, rising from the earth.

In an instant, the mighty military forces that had occupied land and sky became a landscape of wreckage.

Metal and flesh intertwined, gunpowder and blood mingled.

All the upper echelons, secret agents, and Ghost Subduers watching were so shocked they were rendered speechless.

All beings that harbored enmity towards Liang Hui were extinguished in that moment.

No!

There were two left.

Despite the chaos of the battlefield, footsteps weren’t clear.

But all the living humans looked to the figure leaping down from the high-rise, their gazes following his steps.

Crossing over metallic debris, stepping past grotesque flesh,

Liang Hui approached a rather luxurious armored vehicle, disregarding the dead bodies, his gaze landing on Yang Shan.

"You’re overdue!"

"Hand it over."

Yang Shan’s face was terror-stricken and pale as she shakily handed over a document.

"Taoist master, all this was my lead—"

Bang!

Yang Li’s head burst open, his blood and bone splattering all over the young girl.

Liang Hui retracted his outstretched hand.

"Before me, you have no right to speak."

His hand, dripping with blood, took the document, not bothering to look at it before scattering it inside the vehicle.

He had already obtained these religious pieces of information long ago.

But the thing he wanted, even if it were useless, you still had to give it to him.

"Reunite with your father in the cycle of reincarnation."

Schlick!

A palm reached out, and in an instant, a head was plucked off.

The petite body consequently fell.

With a gentle toss, the head rolled beside the mutilated corpse.

Suddenly, he looked up at the night sky.

Trails of fire streaked across the sky, missiles with their incendiary fury coming from all directions, crashing down on this place.

They fell like rain, like shooting stars, carrying with them a resolve filled with intense murderous intent.

Even if it meant sacrificing the entire city’s population, the goal was to slay the Taoist.

In a yellow robe fluttering in the wind, Liang Hui’s smile grew even wider, since he had absorbed that Crimson Taoist Bead.

Not only had his mastery of the Flame Path improved, but he had also gained some of the ghosts’ abilities.

At his level, even if the conceptual abilities were weak, he could still be formidable with them.

Moreover, the conceptual ability of killing upon knocking had never been weak.

He extended his hand, his two fingers pinched together and bent, lightly tapping forward.

Thud!

The sound of knocking came from the sky, deafening.

Boom boom boom~

In an instant, all the missiles froze, then exploded in a series of detonations.

The intense flames illuminated the night sky.

Making the entire city bright as day.

The young man’s gaze remained fixed on the Vault of Heaven, piercing through the widespread flames to see the orbiting satellite.

He tapped again with his finger.

Thud!

All of humanity’s higher-ups, monitoring the area through screens, saw their displays plunge into greyscale.

...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Insolent! Arrogant! Defiant scum!"

The emperor, seated high in the Golden Throne Hall, slammed his chair, roaring furiously.

In front of him was a massive screen, which had likewise turned greyish-white.

A moment later, the emperor ceased his bellowing and calmed down.

He looked towards the prime minister standing below, and the many court officials, his expression icy.

"The heretic defies us, slaughtering the common folk; use all means at our disposal to cut him down."

"If missiles fail, let’s use other weapons; if technology fails, then send in the Ghost Subduers, I want to see his head in the shortest time possible."

"Your Majesty, may we perhaps recruit Qingcang to avoid further bloodshed?"

"Money, power, beauties, we can give him anything he desires,"

An old man, leaning on a cane, stepped out of the crowd and began to persuade.

"Elder Zhuo, there’s no need for further words, the heretic must die."

"He has killed so many of our soldiers, if he doesn’t die, how can we explain to the subjects of the world, how can we deter those with ulterior motives."

The Yu Emperor, impatient, was about to retort.

Suddenly, his entire body stiffened, his complexion turned pale, and his lips quivered.

"Did any of you hear another sound?"

"Perhaps, the sound of knocking."

Boom!

In an instant, all the court officials’ faces were stricken with terror.

"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"

"Ghost Subduers, come quickly!"

The court officials shouted while running outside as if their lives depended on it.

Thud!

The sound of knocking arose, and in an instant, the palace plunged into silence.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Sounds reminiscent of fruit bursting open continuously came from within the Golden Throne Hall.

Gradually, the stench of blood also began to spread.

...

Liang Hui withdrew his hand, his body swayed slightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

He took a step forward and began to walk away slowly under the gaze of everyone.

No one dared to appear in front of the young man, even though many had guessed that he was extremely weakened now.

But still, no one dared to confront this young man, who was as divine as he was demonic.
