Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Severely Wounded and Captured! Demon Armor, Dragon Sword

Just as Mu Feng began his retreat!

"Celestial Eye! Open!!"

The Tian Mu Saint Son roared, his entire aura exploding with power!

A silver eye on his forehead suddenly snapped wide open!

Immediately after, it shot out a dazzling, incomparably brilliant silver stream of light!

BOOM!!

Even though Mu Feng had executed the Fifth Grade Blade Technique, the Sea-Returning Saber Technique!

He only managed to shatter part of the light beam!

Yet, he was still struck by the remaining beam!

In an instant, he slammed violently into the ground, creating a series of ear-piercing rumbles!

"Pfft..."

Mu Feng was grievously injured and coughed up blood, his Divine Spirit severely damaged!

His consciousness was fading!

As for the Tian Mu Saint Son, forcefully using such a powerful Divine Technique while already severely wounded only compounded his injuries. He plummeted to the ground, coughing up blood unceasingly!

’What incredible power!’

Watching from a distance, Su Bai’s expression turned grave as he witnessed this Divine Technique.

With his current Cultivation, facing the Tian Mu Saint Son’s Divine Technique, he could only use Red Gold Speed to evade it!

He couldn’t possibly withstand a direct confrontation!

’The Tian Mu Saint Son must have cultivated this Divine Technique to a fairly profound level!’ Su Bai thought, his figure flickering as he moved rapidly.

「On the battlefield.」

The other three Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau immediately rushed forward and, with a swing of their sabers, severed the Tian Mu Saint Son’s arms!

Instantly, fresh blood splattered everywhere!

Then, one of the Prison Suppression Bureau’s Martial Artists took a crimson iron chain from his pack and bound the Tian Mu Saint Son with it.

He was completely apprehended!

This was a special chain forged by the Prison Suppression Bureau. Not only could it seal the True Qi within a Martial Artist’s body, but it could also weaken their Physique, leaving them frail!

However, despite having his arms severed and being bound in chains, the Tian Mu Saint Son didn’t scream or curse. Instead, he burst out laughing.

His arrogant face fixed on the few Prison Suppression Bureau Martial Artists present, his gaze vicious.

Then, he grinned menacingly!

"It won’t be long before you’re all down here to keep me company! Haha!"

The three Prison Suppression Bureau Martial Artists beside him paled slightly upon hearing his words!

"Keep quiet!"

One of the Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau slapped the Tian Mu Saint Son across his blood-stained face, his expression cold as he snapped!

"Lord Mu!"

By this time, Su Bai had reached Mu Feng’s side and was carefully helping him up.

His face showed a hint of worry and alarm.

"I... I’m fine!"

Although Mu Feng’s consciousness was hazy and his Divine Spirit was damaged, he endured the searing pain and managed to speak.

PTUI!

Supported by Su Bai, he slowly rose to his feet, turned his head to spit out a pool of blood, and then spoke with a grim expression.

"Take him away!!"

RUMBLE!

The group wasted no time. They immediately descended the barren mountain, taking the chained Tian Mu Saint Son with them, and rode their Red Blood Dragon Horses toward the prison!

’This Tian Mu Saint Son... I don’t know what fortuitous encounter he had to be able to increase the power of his Celestial Eye Divine Techniques so much!’

「On the way back.」

Mu Feng had taken some medicine to treat his injuries, and his condition had improved slightly. He kept his eyes fixed on the Tian Mu Saint Son, thinking to himself.

He had also participated in the last battle to purge the Demon Sect, and he’d had a brief clash with this Tian Mu Saint Son back then!

So he had personally experienced the Tian Mu Saint Son’s Celestial Eye Divine Techniques.

But this time, it was as if the Tian Mu Saint Son had come across some great opportunity or met some "benefactor" while on the run.

The power of his Celestial Eye Divine Techniques was far beyond what it had been before!

If his own Cultivation hadn’t been a cut above the Tian Mu Saint Son’s, and if his Divine Spirit weren’t so strong...

...he would have likely already died to that Divine Technique!

At this thought, Mu Feng’s expression turned frigid.

The figures of certain Great Xia officials and even some personnel from within the Prison Suppression Bureau couldn’t help but surface in his mind!

His gaze deepened!

"Yah!"

The three of them rode their Red Blood Dragon Horses, and an hour later, they were back at the prison.

"Lord Mu, your injuries..."

Seeing Mu Feng so grievously wounded, the aforementioned Eunuch Chen’s expression immediately changed!

He stepped forward, his deeply lined and sharp-featured face now covered in a cold frost.

The two exchanged a few brief words.

Their eyes flickered with unspoken understanding.

Afterward, Mu Feng led the group into the prison.

"It seems the Emperor’s suspicions were not wrong after all!"

"Someone is trying to overturn the heavens..."

Eunuch Chen watched the Tian Mu Saint Son’s retreating back, his eyes cold and his voice hoarse.

...

「Inside the prison.」

In a long corridor, Mu Feng coughed a few times, then took a blood-stained Iron Key from his robes and tossed it to Su Bai.

"Su Bai, go lock this man up in Prison Cell B-13!"

After speaking, he departed in a hurry.

It seemed he was either going to treat his wounds or attend to some urgent matter!

Su Bai caught the key, then escorted the silent Tian Mu Saint Son to Prison Cell B-13!

’Going out to apprehend criminals is truly fraught with danger!’

Having now truly participated in a mission to apprehend a criminal, Su Bai’s Heart Spirit felt a little heavy.

The Prison Suppression Bureau was respected by most of the Prison Guards and Prison Chiefs not just because of their own power!

It was also because every time they went out to capture a criminal, they were essentially snatching a life back from King Yan!

After all, no one ever knew if these Demons had hidden their true strength, laid traps, or conspired with others!

’Working for the Prison Suppression Bureau is really like dancing on the edge of a blade!’

"Heh heh..."

However, just as Su Bai escorted the Tian Mu Saint Son and locked him into Prison Cell B-13...

...the man suddenly stared intently at Su Bai and gave a strange, cold laugh.

His gaze was like he was looking at a dead man!

Su Bai paid him no mind.

The moment he locked the Tian Mu Saint Son in the cell...

...on the Purification Tripod in Su Bai’s mind, the point of light representing the Tian Mu Saint Son flickered.

[Criminal: Luo Tian Nian]

[Sin Level: Five-Star]

[Strength: Extraordinary Seventh Layer] 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

[Status: Grievously Injured (Imprisoned)]

[Suppression Involvement: 5%]

[Reward: 600 Experience Points every two hours]

’Not bad! My Suppression Involvement reached five percent, and the number of Experience Points I can get every two hours has reached 600!’

Seeing the Tian Mu Saint Son’s information, Su Bai’s expression brightened.

Although Su Bai hadn’t done much during the capture of the Tian Mu Saint Son, he had escorted him all the way back and personally locked him up.

That was why his Suppression Involvement reached five percent.

Now, this one Tian Mu Saint Son could provide him with 7,200 Experience Points every day!

That was pretty good!

「After returning to his personal quarters.」

Su Bai recalled the conversation between Mu Feng and Eunuch Chen from earlier that day, so he began to look through the Tian Mu Saint Son’s memories within the Purification Tripod.

The scenes flickered past...

Suddenly, Su Bai saw a scene that startled him!

In the scene...

The Tian Mu Saint Son was actually half-kneeling on the ground, his usual arrogant expression completely gone!

In its place was an expression of utmost reverence, along with a fanatical zeal he couldn’t hide in his eyes!

Before him stood another young man.

This person’s aura was far more powerful than the Tian Mu Saint Son’s!

He had shoulder-length golden hair and crimson eyes like blood!

He wore Black Armor, and his Demon Power surged!

In his right hand, he held a Golden Longsword!

Engraved on the sword’s blade was a Five-clawed Golden Dragon!
