Dragon Emperor, Martial God

“Eh, where did that Dugu Mo go? Don’t tell me he didn’t follow us.” Ling Yun walked out of the door. Sweeping his gaze over the entire room, he realized that there was no trace of Dugu Mo amidst the crowd. He knew that it was definitely because Dugu Mo didn’t want to deal with the crowd and temporarily went into hiding.

Ling Yun turned around and glanced at Tian Botao, who was only dressed in a pair of red underwear. Lifting his hand, he pierced a few acupressure points on Tian Botao’s body, then ruthlessly kicked him down the staircase.

“You, with the surname Tian, I still remember clearly how you tore my house apart that day. You’d better open your eyes wide and watch how I demolish your mansion today!”

Ling Yun said this to Tian Botao, who was lying helplessly on the ground, unable to move a muscle. Then, he flashed a bright smile as he faced the crowd below him. Raising his voice, he hollered, “To all of my respectful neighbors, all of you must have already heard that on Thursday of this week, Tian Botao brought his men to tear my house apart. Now, if I demolish his house completely today, wouldn’t it be completely fair?”

“It’s fair! You have our support! Demolish it!” The crowd was getting heated as they punched their fists into the air, cheering loudly! Standing right at the front of the crowd were the impoverished residents living on Linjiang Road. Having been oppressed by Tian Botao for such a long time, they were obviously invigorated and elated to see that Tian Botao had finally fallen. One after the other, they were all fighting for the opportunity to be the one to take revenge on him, each yelling about brutal ways for revenge to be taken!

Ling Yun laughed heartily. Lifting both of his hands to appease the crowd, he slowly lowered both of his arms as he used the Mystical Dragon Howl and said, “Well, the crowd should move away from this mansion to safety. In five minutes, this mansion will fall!”

Even though Ling Yun’s voice wasn’t loud, it was clearly heard by the more than one thousand people who were at the scene. Inside each of their ears, it left them confused as they looked around, searching for the source of the sound.

Without a bulldozer or excavator, he could make such a huge mansion fall in just five minutes? How was it possible? Unless Ling Yun used explosives, there was no way such a huge mansion could fall apart in just five minutes.

But thinking that Ling Yun might really use explosives, the onlookers couldn’t help but disperse from the area, moving about twenty meters away from the mansion, watching the scene from afar.

Within twenty meters of the mansion, a large, empty space opened up. Other than Ling Yun and Tang Meng, there was nobody else standing there.

Ling Yun quietly nodded as he thought that no matter which direction the mansion fell, there would be no way it would hurt anyone.

Ling Yun was just about to instruct Tang Meng to pull Tian Botao away when the crowd began to split. A path opened up as over thirty people with strong auras pushed onlookers aside and stormed towards the entrance of the mansion.

Dao Yong’s men were closest to Linjiang Garden. Naturally, they came quickly!

Turning to look at the four men standing guard, Ling Yun laughed heartily. It was the same Four Great Generals who followed Dao Yong to create trouble at his mother’s clinic.

Have you finally made your decision? This Dao Yong, I have to say, you’re quite intelligent…

Dao Yong’s men collected a protection fee in the region every day. From those that owned a shop to a gambling den, all of the store owners recognized them. Seeing them appear, they naturally opened up a path for them and lowered their voices, afraid that they would get into trouble.

“Ling Yun, the day your house was torn apart, Brother Dao couldn’t contact you. He thought of all sorts of ways to deal with the situation but still didn’t know what to do. He could only watch your house get torn apart by those ruffians. Brother Dao thinks he’s failed you! Today, he heard that you came to take revenge, so Brother Dao instructed us to give you a hand and to listen to all of your orders…”

Zhan Long and the other generals walked up to face Ling Yun and Tang Meng as they revealed their intentions, speaking solemnly and with utmost respect.

At the moment, Ling Yun wasn’t about to send them away. Laughing, he said, “Alright, then. Thank you all for coming. Right now, I don’t need your help here!”

Pointing to Tian Botao, who was lying on the ground, he said, “This mansion is about to be demolished. You just have to take him away so that he doesn’t die from the demolition!”

Looking at Tian Botao, who was lying on the round, Zhan Long furrowed his brows. Calling two disciples forward, they took him far away.

Nodding his head, Ling Yun smiled slightly as he said, “This is my brother, Tang Meng. You must have met before, right? I won’t say more. Just listen to Tang Meng and make sure that the citizens don’t get hurt from the demolition!”

Before Ling Yun descended into the crater, he arranged for Tang Meng to go through the standard procedures at Dao Yong’s, letting Tang Meng meet Zhan Long and the other generals.

Tang Meng rubbed his bald head unabashedly as he led Zhan Long and the three men away. With the men they brought with them, they formed a barricade in front of the onlookers, in case they got injured by accident.

Ling Yun completed all of his arrangements and laughed dryly. Just as he turned to enter the mansion, he heard the piercing sound of a siren enter his ears.

The police were here!

Naturally, the police car took a straight path to the destination. Stopping the car outside of the crowd of people, those police officers got out of their cars and rushed in at once, all of them glaring hard at Ling Yun as if they were facing a great enemy.

These were the police officers from Linjiang Road. After receiving orders, they rushed here at once and were behind Dao Yong’s men by only a few minutes.

“People in the mansion, listen up. Right now, you are doing something illegal. We cannot allow you to demolish another person’s property!” a police officer shouted with a megaphone.

Hearing this, Ling Yun chuckled. Now, the police finally show up and say that I’m doing something illegal? When they came to tear my house down back then, why didn’t you stop them then?

At a glance, he already knew that the ones that had shown up were nothing more than no-name people without any power. They weren’t in any position to talk to him. So, he couldn’t be bothered at all. With a flash of movement, he entered the mansion.

All of the police officers were stunned. Looking at each other confusedly, they didn’t know what to do!

They thought that as long as they, the police, came, even if they couldn’t stop Ling Yun from demolishing the mansion, they could at least buy time for the Public Security Bureau to show up and they would be fine. But they didn’t expect Ling Yun to completely disregard their presence.

A few police officers discussed for a while. Two policemen were about to walk into the mansion, but Tang Meng shouted loudly at the same time, “Hey! If you guys aren’t afraid of dying, go ahead and walk inside. I’m telling you, within five minutes, this mansion is going to be demolished! It’s not just an empty threat!”

“What did you say? A completely intact mansion like this will be demolished in five minutes? Are you telling me he brought explosives?”

All of the people from Linjiang Road secretly had good relations with Tian Botao. They swore their brotherhood and obviously didn’t want to see his mansion being demolished.

Tang Tianhao had temporarily lost his position and power, but over the years, Tang Meng had met the Public Security Bureau too many times. He didn’t even see these police officers as a threat. Hence, he laughed faintly as he said, “Not explosives, but if you don’t believe it, then go ahead and try going in. I won’t stop you…”

Even before he finished his words, only rumbling sounds could be heard. A loud, thunderous sound resounded from the mansion. Simultaneously, everyone felt the ground below them start to shake violently!

After Ling Yun entered the mansion, he stopped hesitating. He took out the bronze cauldron immediately and grabbed one of its legs as he started destroying the heavy walls of the mansion ruthlessly!

Its body was about one meter wide, and it weighed over two thousand pounds. In Ling Yun’s hands, it would be akin to a regular person carelessly waving a large hammer about. The thick, heavy walls fell apart after seven to eight hits from Ling Yun!

Ling Yun had already looked into the structure thoroughly. With two layers of construction, even though it was large, it was actually easier to tear apart than a one-story house!

He only had to destroy the lowest pillars such that the walls couldn’t support the infrastructure on the second floor, and it would fall immediately! So, Ling Yun only had to find a few essential points to demolish the entire house.

Outside, the people felt such a large tremor, and couldn’t help but scream aloud!

“God, what is Ling Yun doing in there? Why is there such a loud commotion!”

“Yeah, this is way too overwhelming, it feels just like an earthquake. The ground below me keeps shaking non-stop!”

“This… Don’t tell me he can really demolish such a huge mansion himself!”

“Listen to those sounds, I think he can really do it. Forget it, we better stand farther away…”

…

Ling Yun continuously took down two decorative-pillars. On the corners of the wall, he created two large, gaping holes. The mansion was completely covered in dust and smoke, it was a complete mess!

Ling Yun stopped his hands as he looked up. Looking at the shaking mansion that was about to fall apart, he thought to himself that it was about time. If he continued to wreck the mansion, it would really trap him inside all of the fallen debris.

Ling Yun had already reached the eleventh minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique, so if the entire mansion collapsed and trapped him inside it, he wouldn’t be hurt at all. However, it would smudge his beautiful face with dirt.

Even though it would create a very intimidating and overwhelming appearance to onlookers, it was far too embarrassing, and it wasn’t like Ling Yun to do that.

“Alright, I’ll just create another hole in the corner of that wall, then I’ll leave…”

Ling Yun muttered half-aloud as he walked towards the eastern corner of the mansion. Once again lifting the bronze cauldron in his hands, he began destroying the walls once again!

“Bang… Bang… Bang…”

After the fourth hit, a crumbling sound was heard as a gaping hole opened up in the eastern wall of the mansion, just the right size for Ling Yun to step out.

At that moment, the people outside saw that mansion begin to teeter from side to side as if it were bamboo swaying in the wind. The mansion began to shake from side to side dangerously!

“God, this mansion is really about to fall…”

“It’s real, it’s shaking now, it’s getting more violent…”

“Hurry, get away! D*mn! It’s really falling…”

At this moment, not to mention the crowd, even the police were so scared that they hurriedly shuffled back in fear. They were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to escape in time, leaving them crushed under the debris of the mansion!

Ling Yun was prepared to use the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability at any moment, but watching as the mansion continued to shake without its end approaching, he instantly furrowed his brow a little as he launched himself toward the mansion, swinging his bronze cauldron at a pillar with all his strength!

“Bang!” Responding to his swing, the white pillar broke in half instantly!

Ling Yun knew that the mansion was going to fall. He quickly returned his bronze cauldron into his storage ring. Simultaneously, with his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability, he emerged out of the mansion, landing twenty meters away from it!

“Boom!”

A thunderous sound erupted from the mansion, causing the earth to shake and vibrate. The mansion fell violently to the ground as debris began flying out in all directions, leaving the place covered in smoke and dust!
