Chapter 48 Dragon-Elephant_2
Zhu Qingyan looked into Li Fei's calm eyes and suddenly laughed,
"Are you an officially registered martial master of the Zhi Ge Court?"
"No."
"Then may I ask, what is your identity?"
"I'm a student at Wuda, here to assist the Inspection Bureau with a case."
Li Fei revealed one of his identities.
"So you're the proud gem of Wuda; no wonder you speak so boldly."
Zhu Qingyan nodded, staring into Li Fei's eyes,
"Young man, the Chen Family has existed here for over sixty years; not just anyone is qualified to teach the Chen Family rules."
Li Fei met her gaze and calmly stated, "Over sixty years? Well, there won't be a Chen Family here in the future."
The expression on Zhu Qingyan's face changed, and for the first time, clear anger flashed in her eyes,
"Very well, very well! This old lady must see how you're going to make my Chen Family disappear from here!"
"You can look forward to it then."
Li Fei nodded, refraining from further verbal sparring with her.
He and Li Tianyu stood there quietly waiting for a while until Lu Sheng finally arrived with his men.
"Uncle Lu, how goes it?"
"We've sealed off the village, but only caught three target individuals."
Li Fei and Lu Sheng had a brief conversation.
"It seems everyone has already hidden inside that dielou."
Li Fei pointed to the dielou not far behind Zhu Qingyan.
Lu Sheng took a few glances and his expression grew more serious,
"Then this won't be easy to handle."
After speaking, he approached Zhu Qingyan and presented the arrest warrant from the Inspection Bureau,
"Chen Hanbin, Chen Guihe, Chen Dongkai..."
He read out more than a dozen names in total.
"These individuals are suspects in numerous homicides, and I need to take them back to the Inspection Bureau for questioning. Additionally, there are people here illegally hiding and using prohibited weapons, which I must confiscate and take the related individuals into custody."
Lu Sheng said to Zhu Qingyan.
Zhu Qingyan looked at him calmly, waiting until he finished speaking before responding,
"Officer, those people you've mentioned, I don't know where they are, as for whom you want to take away, please, be my guest."
Lu Sheng pointed to the dielou behind her, "Have someone open the door; I want to search inside!"
"I'm afraid that's not possible."
Zhu Qingyan shook her head.
Lu Sheng frowned at her, "What, are you going to resist the law?"
Zhu Qingyan smiled, no longer speaking.
Her stance was clear—to not cooperate and to show no fear of Lu Sheng.
Despite being a woman over eighty years old with a delicate identity, Lu Sheng found himself at a loss with her, unable to apply many of his methods.
He walked past Zhu Qingyan, taking his people directly to the base of the dielou to inspect it.
A moment later, his face turned ugly.
"Uncle Lu?"
Li Fei walked over.
"This damn place is built to wartime standards; unless you use a cannon to bombard it, or bombs to blow it up, there's no way to break in!"
Lu Sheng spoke to Li Fei in a low voice, looking distressed,
"That old fox is trying to buy time. The city is definitely aware of the situation here by now, and the Chen Family will surely protect their own to the fullest. Perhaps even the Chief might send someone over, and we won't be able to stand our ground, making it hard to take anyone away."
Li Fei nodded understandingly.
The reason why the Inspection Bureau could identify the Chen Family's crimes so quickly and accurately this time was largely due to intelligence provided by the 'Queen' Feng Sanniang.
They had moved from capturing individuals at the Chen estate in the morning to the Chen Family Village in the afternoon, aiming for a swift operation to capture all the key figures before the Chen Family had time to react, in order to complete the evidence chain.
Now, most of the people they intended to capture had taken refuge inside the dielou. If they couldn't bring the individuals back today, the situation could likely change, making convictions more difficult.
"My men have just questioned some villagers; some of the deeds done by a few beasts in there are downright inhuman—damn it!"
Captain Lu Sheng, having seen a wide array of criminals, rarely exhibited such anger.
In this operation, he initially embarked with the intention of clamping down on the Chen Family, but as he delved deeper, he genuinely wanted some of these beasts to be brought to justice!
"Captain, why don't we find a ladder and try to enter through those windows?"
A platoon leader suggested to Lu Sheng after walking over.
Lu Sheng looked up at those windows and shook his head, "No, there are guards at those windows. If those inside resist, it will be easy for you to get hurt."
"Are they really going to strike against us openly?"
The platoon leader was somewhat incredulous.
"Uncle Lu."
Li Fei spoke up.
He didn't want these inspectors to risk testing the limits of the Chen Family.
"Let me give it a try."
"You want to go in through the windows?"
Lu Sheng looked at Li Fei.
"No."
Li Fei shook his head, and then walked toward the iron gate of the bunker.
This was a thick iron gate, more than three meters high and over four meters wide.
"I'll enter from here."
Li Fei said this.
At this moment, Zhu Qingyan also looked over, and upon seeing Li Fei approaching the iron gate, she couldn't help but smile.
Indeed, this bunker was built to wartime standards, mainly to defend against powerful martial artists.
The material of the wall could resist martial artists' Innate Qi and Force.
Even if a Refining Strength Martial Master came, it would take no less than half a day to break through the wall.
The same was true for that iron gate; aside from shelling it with a cannon or having a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse strike it, it was impossible to break.
Zhu Qingyan didn't believe that Li Fei was so young that he had already reached the Tao Foundation Stage.
"Xiao Fei?"
Lu Sheng was also puzzled, not understanding how Li Fei was planning to get into the bunker through the main gate.
Li Fei began to channel his Vajra Force, his hands quickly forming seals in front of his chest.
A few seconds later, the seal was complete, and his body suddenly swelled up, entering the 'Overlord Body' state.
Not only that, but the [steel armor] Implant seemed to be stimulated by some intense force, bursting forth with power far beyond its normal state.
Lu Sheng, standing beside him, suddenly felt Li Fei grow incredibly tall and mighty, even taller than the bunker itself, filled with a sense of power!
This was a new ultimate skill Li Fei had learned—Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant!
The Vajra Seal was a support-type Martial Art, which could manipulate Vajra Force through sealing to achieve various effects.
For instance, the 'Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant' could significantly increase the power of Li Fei's next strike!
Clang—
Li Fei drew out his Ghost Slash Blade.
"Uncle Lu, you all stand back a bit."
He said calmly.
Lu Sheng immediately led his Inspectors to retreat.
The next second, Li Fei, holding the blade with both hands, the blade emitting a brilliant golden light, brought his sword down heavily on the iron gate in front of him.
Bang!!!!
A thunderclap exploded from the ground, shaking the earth.
The dazzling golden light exploded, whipping up a fierce gust of wind.
Zhu Qingyan was startled, stepping back sharply, supported just in time by her maid.
She looked at the iron gate with astonished eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the gate was not blown apart; it only had a crack and was indented slightly.
Li Fei planted the blade in the ground, continued to form seals with his hands, and once again executed the Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant.
Then, he picked up the Ghost Slash Blade and struck again.
Boom!!!!
In this fashion, Li Fei struck the iron gate in front of him with one slash after another.
He not only performed the new Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant but also executed the Armor-piercing Style that Hao Yi had taught him.
This saber technique was just perfect for dealing with the iron gate before him.
The gate was shaken by him time and time again, and the ground trembled each time as well.
Everyone outside the bunker, as well as those inside, was frightened.
It felt as if a giant beast were repeatedly ramming the gate!
The material of the iron gate was inferior to the Ghost Slash Blade; though it could withstand the Force of martial artists, under the combined attack of Vajra Force and Armor-piercing Style, with each strike, it was being partially cut through.
After nine slashes, Li Fei had forcibly cut a gap in the iron gate!
"Ah—"
Screams came from behind the gate.
"Damn..."
Lu Sheng swallowed.
He knew martial artists possessed superhuman strength, but this spectacle had still shocked him.
Even a cannon couldn't breach that iron gate without several shots, and yet Li Fei had simply forced it open?!
Li Fei didn't stop, continuing his slashes.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The gap in the iron gate continued to widen.
Finally, Li Fei cut a gap over a meter tall in the center of the iron gate.
Clang—
Li Fei sheathed his blade.
He turned to glance at Zhu Qingyan, then stepped over the gap with composure and walked into the bunker.
