Chapter 158: Slaying the Demon Again, Part 2

On He Chen's side, thunder descended from the sky, flames burned in the void on the ground, and the illusion became real. It was extremely difficult for anyone without the strength of a Martial Emperor to break through this barrier, let alone attack a Martial Emperor.

However, the difference lies in the fact that the Crimson Flame Demon's own fire power burns the void, and in conjunction with the illusion, it forms a fire isolation zone with a vacuum around its body, which is so powerful that it cannot be broken through.

He Chen borrowed the power of the rules—earth fire, thunder, and reality—coming from the void! Thunder roared, and flames raged! Incredibly hot, incinerating everything!

Unleashing my full power, I will not hold back any longer; how could chaos bury my soaring spirit! My blade bears the name of madness, feared by all! A thousand fingers point, ten thousand seal my name, and I will cleave the pinnacle of humanity in one fell swoop!

The Gentleman's Blade suddenly transformed, absorbing the lightning power within a hundred miles of the sky. It was as if the lightning in the air had diminished, only to be instantly replenished. The Gentleman's Blade, crackling with lightning, transformed into countless leaping electric dragons, becoming a terrifying aerial killing field!

Below, Mi Zhanguo, General Jing, Lu the Demon Slayer, and the twin sisters Xie Yanyan, having finished killing the zombie-turned corpse, discovered that the corpse had stopped moving. Looking up, they were shocked by the strange sight in the sky.

The two Martial Emperors clashed. From Martial King to Martial Emperor, they felt extreme helplessness and jealousy. Martial Emperors were rarely seen, but they appeared one after another today. Then they were overjoyed. If it weren't for the Martial Emperors, they didn't know how many people would have survived today.

Historical records state that a city was sacrificed by cultists. For some unknown reason, a powerful Martial Emperor suddenly appeared, and in less than a day, hundreds of thousands of people in the city were turned into mummies. Even the Martial King could not escape.

It's easy to imagine that once this demonic projection descends, no matter how many ordinary people there are, they couldn't possibly overwhelm it. Great power resides within one's own world; the strong are always worthy of admiration!

At this moment, all worries and fears slowly subside, and all uncertainties are relieved!

Looking at the imposing figure in the air, tall and muscular, with an incomparably ruthless knife in hand, Liu Qianqian felt that she had made the right choice.

Jie Yanyan looked at the unusual gentleman's knife in He Chen's hand and whispered to Mi Zhanguo beside her, "Officer Mi, may I ask this gentleman's name?"

Mi Zhanguo came to his senses, and his worries vanished. If all the well-known and powerful local tycoons, families, and clans in the city hadn't died tonight, seeing the strength of the battle, they probably wouldn't have any objections to any of the orders tomorrow.

With Emperor Wu in charge and this event underway, Wanzhou is not only unlikely to decline, but it's probably about to boom. Property prices are about to rise. With Emperor Wu in charge, besides the bustling main city and certain specific cities, how many other places can boast such prosperity?

With a slight smile, she replied modestly in a low voice, "Miss Xie, you're too kind. The gentleman calls himself He Chen! I think I've heard of him before, but I'm wondering if it's the same person!"

"He Chen!" Miss Xie was also taken aback; the name sounded familiar. Then, something occurred to her.

The candlelight illuminates the blade, both equally cold and sharp. I walk alone, and even in the face of death, I will not regret it. The blade is imbued with the power of lightning, and the flames burn as if the void itself has been ignited.

Without any tricks, he spread his wings like a roc and arrived before the evil god in one step. The dazzling blade light and the thunderous blade roar were so fast and sharp that they were ear-piercing. With one slash, the energy of thunder and fire quickly entered his body, igniting rapidly and unleashing a thunderous attack.

Within the illusion, the demon was surrounded by thunder and flames; the earth's fire began to burn from below, while thunder roared from the sky. The thunder rumbled incessantly.

With a flick of his hand, the evil god unleashed several fiery flames that struck He Chen directly, quickly igniting his clothes.

The Gentleman's Blade, imbued with the true energy of thunder and fire, had a blade ten feet long. The blade descended from his head, cleaving through his groin with incredible speed. The demon instantly collapsed, vanishing into the void, transforming into a fist-sized energy that shot out rapidly, heading straight for He Chen's body.

Suddenly, He Chen's mind was captured as an indescribable divine sense, enveloped in energy, prepared to invade He Chen's mind!

As He Chen focused his attention to deal with the situation, the divine bell around him resounded continuously. The powerful impact directly pierced through the thousand-layer titanium-grade divine bell, causing it to stop there, unable to advance any further. The same was true for the evil god's divine consciousness, which remained inside.

"Hehe!" He Chen laughed maniacally, his voice terrifying. At this moment, he held his hands tightly and used his inner energy technique to burn his consciousness rapidly.

A piercing scream, along with a venomous voice, 'I'll remember you! It's you again!' came loudly, furiously, and with an air of relentless vengeance, before quickly disappearing!

Sensing the pure energy, He Chen swallowed it whole, then converted it all into kill points!

[200,000 kill points added]

The evil god vanished without a trace. At that moment, the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, and a ray of sunlight shone from the clouds onto the earth—it was truly beautiful.

As the sunlight appeared, the shady area instantly began to shrink. Without the large array to shield it, the shady area shrank rapidly, as if in fear.

He Chen stepped forward to Mi Zhanguo's side. Seeing everyone nearby, he said to Mi Zhanguo, "Starting today, you are the Chief of the Police Department. Confiscate all the property of the Huang and Chai families and make it all mine. If anyone objects, inform me immediately!"

Mi Zhanguo, now completely convinced, replied, "Yes, sir!"

Then, after thinking for a moment, he said to Liu Qianqian, who was slowly approaching,

"Furthermore, Liu Chenghuang, I will go down to the entrance to the underworld later to check it out and seal it off. From now on, you will be in charge of guarding the entrance to the underworld as soon as possible. After that, Wanzhou will be under your responsibility!"

If this involves ghosts or spirits, you must handle it impartially. If you are unable to deal with it, notify me immediately!

Liu Qianqian approached He Chen, bent down to touch him, and nodded gently, saying, "Yes, sir. I will certainly not fail your expectations."

Then he muttered to himself, 'The chief constable of this yamen, and the candidate for prefect?' He Chen pondered as he spoke, realizing that he would have a hard time finding the right person!

At this moment, the twin girls, each wielding a heavy sword, stepped forward and said, "Sir, how about I become the chief constable?" They volunteered, and even patted their heavy swords after speaking! The blade made a soft sound!

He Chen glanced at them, momentarily stunned; he truly couldn't tell the two apart.

He said, "Okay, that's fine! Just maintain order in the city. Also, incorporate all the gangs in the city and turn them into security stations. From now on, they will maintain order inside and outside the city. All merchants will be taxed at 30%, and no other taxes will be levied!"

We'll discuss that later. First, organize your manpower to maintain order. I'll send someone over later to discuss the specifics of tax collection. If anyone deliberately causes trouble, you need to inform me as soon as possible!

It seems I forgot to ask their names; how careless of me!

At this moment, Xie Yanyan's heart stirred. She stepped forward and asked, "Are you Lord He Chen from the market, sir?"
