190: Chapter 190 The aloof and proud goddess captain of the law enforcement team! Defeated and captured…

"Zhou Liangan, this is my final warning to you: surrender and come with me to the headquarters for an investigation," Chief Captain Ling Shuang's voice was like tempered ice, clattering crisply against the alloy floor. "Otherwise, I will be forced to take coercive measures against you on charges of resisting law enforcement."

Zhou Liangan picked his ear and raised his eyes nonchalantly. "Coercive measures? I'd like to see how you intend to enforce them. Second Elder Xuanyuan Tai wanted to kill me, and I killed him in self-defense; that is only natural."

"Insolent!"

Upon hearing this, Chief Captain Ling Shuang's expression sank to rock bottom. Her beautiful eyes narrowed sharply, and an Aura of terrifying intensity erupted from her body without warning, like a volcano that had slept for ten thousand years suddenly erupting, instantly sweeping across the entire Starport.

This was the Aura of a Nirvana Realm Great Perfection expert!

Her Law Enforcement uniform fluttered without wind, snapping loudly, while her ponytail was whipped backward by the violent shockwaves, revealing her smooth forehead and elegantly lined neck.

The surrounding air instantly solidified, the flowing wind came to an abrupt halt, and the alloy floor beneath their feet began to sprout dense cracks, spreading outward like a spiderweb.

Several nearby Cultivators at the Enlightenment Stage were pressed down by this Aura, falling to their knees with a "thud." Their faces turned paper-white as they braced themselves against the ground, gasping for air, lacking even the courage to look up at Chief Captain Ling Shuang.

"Nirvana Realm Great Perfection! Chief Captain Ling Shuang has actually broken through to the Nirvana Realm Great Perfection!"

"My god! I saw her fighting someone three months ago, and she was clearly only at the Nirvana Peak!"

"I heard she obtained an ancient Legacy, and her Cultivate speed was already fast. Plus, with the Law Enforcement headquarters dumping so many resources into her, isn't a Breakthrough normal?"

"Zhou Liangan is dead for sure now! Even if he did kill Second Elder Xuanyuan Tai before, Second Elder Xuanyuan Tai was heavily injured from a fight just before that, but Chief Captain Ling Shuang is a Nirvana Realm Great Perfection in her prime!"

The crowd of onlookers erupted in an instant, with gasps and discussions rising one after another. Everyone's face was filled with shock; their gazes toward Chief Captain Ling Shuang were full of awe, while their gazes toward Zhou Liangan were filled with sympathy and pity.

Just then, the dozen or so Law Enforcement Team members behind Chief Captain Ling Shuang moved in unison.

A dozen majestic Nirvana Peak Auras erupted simultaneously, shooting into the sky like a dozen black tornadoes, then converging in mid-air into a massive black wall of Aura, perfectly fusing with Chief Captain Ling Shuang's Aura.

In an instant, the sunlight in the sky seemed to be obscured by this terrifying Aura, turning dim and lusterless.

A bone-chilling Killing Intent permeated the area, causing everyone present to shiver uncontrollably.

These Law Enforcement Team members were elites personally selected by Chief Captain Ling Shuang. Each one was battle-hardened, having killed at least eighty to a hundred heinous criminals. Their Auras carried a thick scent of blood, far more formidable than ordinary Nirvana Peak Cultivators.

The local Cultivators of Tianxuan Star not far away were all stunned, their mouths agape wide enough to fit an egg.

They stared blankly at the silver figure standing in the field like a female war god, along with the dozen or so Law Enforcement Team members behind her emitting terrifying Auras, their minds completely blank.

This was the Law Enforcement Team of the Transit Star Region!

The most elite armed force in the entire Transit Star Region!

With a Nirvana Realm Great Perfection leading the team and a dozen Nirvana Peak experts accompanying, such a lineup could easily crush even a medium-sized Sect, let alone a single person.

No matter how powerful Zhou Liangan was, even if he had once killed the injured Nirvana Realm Great Perfection Second Elder Xuanyuan Tai, he dared to stand there and confront such a luxurious lineup head-on, without even a trace of fear on his face.

This was no different from seeking death!

"It's over, it's over. This kid is definitely going to be beaten into a pulp."

"He's too overconfident. Does he really think he's invincible just because he killed one Second Elder Xuanyuan Tai?"

"What a pity. To have such high Cultivation at such a young age—if he could just be a bit more low-key, his future achievements would be limitless. But he just had to show off."

"I think he's just blinded by victory. He won't even have time to cry later."

Sounds of mockery and pity spread through the crowd. Almost everyone was convinced that Zhou Liangan would undoubtedly lose, and that there wasn't even a possibility of him leaving alive.

After all, they had all witnessed how ruthless the Law Enforcement Team's methods could be.

Chief Captain Ling Shuang looked coldly at Zhou Liangan, her eyes carrying a trace of undisguised disdain.

She felt the same way as the people around her, thinking that Zhou Liangan was just an ignorant, reckless greenhorn.

Today, she would use real action to tell him that the dignity of the Law Enforcement Team could not be provoked by anyone.

"Since you insist on resisting law enforcement! Then I have no choice but to take action."

The moment Chief Captain Ling Shuang's voice fell, the dozen or so Law Enforcement Team members immediately moved.

Their movements were uniform and synchronized, like a well-trained special forces unit. With a tap of their toes on the alloy floor, their bodies dispersed in all directions like ghosts, and in the blink of an eye, they stood in a dozen different positions, forming a perfect circular Formation.

Each of them quickly formed seals with their hands, chanting incantations, their internal Nirvana Energy circulating frantically, converging toward the center of the Formation along the Formation lines beneath their feet.

Pale black light rose from beneath their feet, weaving into complex runes in mid-air.

"Demon-Trapping Heaven Formation, activate!"

Chief Captain Ling Shuang gave a sharp shout and violently waved her right hand downward.

The dozen Law Enforcement Team members shouted in unison, pouring the Nirvana Energy within them into the Formation without reservation.

Suddenly, in the void above, countless black runes lit up, flickering like stars across the sky.

These runes rotated and intertwined rapidly, finally condensing into thick black chains.

The chains entwined and connected with each other, forming a massive phantom of a black cage that slowly descended from the sky.

This cage phantom was dozens of meters high, entirely condensed from pure Nirvana Energy, and engraved with dense, ancient suppression runes.

As the runes circulated, they emitted a terrifying pressure that made one's heart palpitate, as if countless ancient demons were truly imprisoned within.

As the cage descended, the surrounding space began to distort violently, the air becoming as viscous as glue, to the point where even light could not propagate normally, and the entire Formation area plunged into darkness.

The Demon-Trapping Heaven Formation was the signature Formation of the Transit Star Region's Law Enforcement Team, specifically designed to deal with powerful, serious criminals.

Once this Formation was formed, it could not only completely seal the surrounding space, preventing the enemy from escaping, but also continuously absorb the enemy's power to convert it into its own, while simultaneously using the power of the Formation to grind down the enemy's will.

It is said that three hundred years ago, the Law Enforcement Team used this Formation to trap a powerful evildoer, eventually killing them.

Watching the black cage slowly descending from the sky, the crowd of onlookers held their breath, not daring to even breathe loudly.

They knew that the real battle of life and death was only just beginning.

Zhou Liangan stood in the center of the Formation, looking up at the phantom cage above his head. There was not a trace of panic on his face; instead, he revealed a faint, cold smile.

He had seen plenty of Formations; he had even witnessed the ten great killing Formations of the ancient era. Although this Demon-Trapping Heaven Formation had decent power, in his eyes, it was nothing more than a slightly more refined toy.

He knew very well that Chief Captain Ling Shuang was a Nirvana Realm Great Perfection in her prime, and the dozen or so Law Enforcement Team members were all Nirvana Peak elites, and they had formed the Demon-Trapping Heaven Formation.

If he only used Reincarnation Qi or only used Nirvana Energy, although he could still win, it would inevitably lead to a bitter battle.

Reincarnation Qi represented the past and future, containing the endless Power of Reincarnation, capable of reversing time and space and dissolving all things.

Nirvana Energy represented the present and Rebirth, containing vigorous vitality and the power of destruction, capable of rising from the ashes and erupting with ultimate combat power.

These two powers were yin and yang, static and dynamic; they seemed contradictory, but in reality, they originated from the same source and complemented each other.

Today was the perfect opportunity to use the hands of this Law Enforcement Team to test just how powerful the Fusion of these two energies could be.

Thinking of this, a dazzling gleam flashed in Zhou Liangan's eyes, like lightning cutting through the dark night.

He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

The next second, a vast, majestic, and supreme Aura slowly emanated from his body.

This Aura was completely different from Chief Captain Ling Shuang's Nirvana Energy; it lacked that violent, destructive breath, and instead carried a nobility and sanctity from the depths of his Bloodline, as if a Human Emperor from the Nine Heavens had descended, looking down upon all living beings.

This was the might of the Human Emperor, the innate pressure he possessed as the sole successor of the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation.

As the might of the Human Emperor slowly permeated the area, the entire Demon-Trapping Heaven Formation began to tremble violently; the light of the runes on the phantom cage dimmed significantly, and the circulating black chains became sluggish.

The expressions of Chief Captain Ling Shuang and the dozen or so Law Enforcement Team members changed drastically at the same time.

They felt an invisible pressure descending from the sky, pressing heavily upon their hearts, causing their blood to surge, their Meridians to swell with pain, and the circulation of their internal Nirvana Energy to become incredibly sluggish.

"What... what is this Aura?" The Law Enforcement Team member standing in the eastern position was pale, their voice trembling uncontrollably.

He felt like a tiny ant facing a giant Dragon soaring through the Nine Heavens, unable to even conceive a single thought of resistance.

"I don't know! It's too terrifying! My strength... my strength has been suppressed!" The Law Enforcement Team member standing in the western position exclaimed. He could clearly feel that his power was being gripped by an invisible hand, reduced by a full ten percent!

It wasn't just him; Chief Captain Ling Shuang and the other ten Law Enforcement Team members—everyone's strength had been reduced by ten percent by this might of the Human Emperor!

Ten percent of one's strength might not mean much in ordinary times, but in a life-and-death battle of this level, a ten percent difference was enough to determine the outcome.

Moreover, they were facing the unfathomable Zhou Liangan.

Chief Captain Ling Shuang's heart sank, and a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.

She finally realized that she had underestimated this man. He was by no means an ignorant, reckless greenhorn, but a peerless expert hidden deeply.

"Everyone! Push the Formation with all your might! Do not hold anything back!" Chief Captain Ling Shuang gritted her teeth and shouted sternly. She knew there was no retreat now; either they capture Zhou Liangan, or they would all fall here.

Hearing Chief Captain Ling Shuang's order, the dozen or so Law Enforcement Team members suppressed the fear in their hearts, once again circulating the Nirvana Energy within them and pouring it frantically into the Demon-Trapping Heaven Formation.

"Hum—" The black phantom cage shook violently, erupting with dazzling black light. The runes on it became bright once again, and the speed of their circulation increased several times over.

Countless black chains extended from the four walls of the cage, like venomous snakes, carrying a sharp whistling sound as they coiled toward Zhou Liangan.

These chains were covered in sharp barbs, flickering with a cold, icy light. Once entangled, even a Nirvana Realm Great Perfection expert would have all their power drained away.

At the same time, black, corrosive mist began to surge from the bottom of the cage; wherever the mist passed, the hard alloy floor was corroded into small pits.

In the sky, countless black wind blades condensed from Nirvana Energy shot toward Zhou Liangan like raindrops, each blade capable of easily slicing through several meters of steel plate.

The overwhelming attacks instantly engulfed Zhou Liangan.

"He's dead for sure!" someone in the crowd couldn't help but shout.

In their view, facing such an all-encompassing attack with no blind spots, even if Zhou Liangan had three heads and six arms, it would be impossible for him to dodge it.

Chief Captain Ling Shuang also stared intently at the center of the Formation, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

She believed that no matter how strong Zhou Liangan was, he could not withstand this full-strength attack.

However, at the very moment the black chains were about to touch Zhou Liangan's body, he slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze was calm and waveless, as if these attacks, capable of destroying a small city, were nothing more than a gentle breeze passing by in his eyes.

He did not dodge, nor did he bring out any Magical Artifact; he simply stood there quietly, letting those chains and wind blades rush toward him.

"Is he crazy? He's not even dodging!"

"It's over, it's over; he's really going to be turned into meat paste now!"

Just when everyone thought Zhou Liangan was doomed, a sudden change occurred.

Zhou Liangan's right hand slowly lifted, palm facing upward.

A wisp of pale purple Reincarnation Qi rose from his Dantian, carrying endless vicissitudes and mystery, slowly rotating in his palm.

At the same time, a wisp of golden Nirvana Energy surged from his Meridians, carrying vigorous vitality and destruction, also gathering in his palm.

The two completely different types of Qi met in his palm, initially repelling each other, rolling and colliding violently, emitting a sizzling sound.

But under the guidance of Zhou Liangan's powerful Divine Sense, they soon began to permeate and fuse with each other.

The pale purple and golden colors intertwined, finally forming a brand new, dazzling purple-gold Aura.

This purple-gold Aura possessed both the depth and mystery of Reincarnation Qi, as well as the heat and sharpness of Nirvana Energy; the two powers fused perfectly, producing an indescribable and terrifying might.

Even just the aftermath of this Aura shattered the incoming black chains and wind blades, and those corrosive mists dissipated into nothingness in an instant.

"Th-this... what kind of power is this?" Chief Captain Ling Shuang widened her eyes, her pupils filled with shock and disbelief.

Feeling the surging power in his palm, Zhou Liangan revealed a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, the power of the two types of Qi fusing was even more astonishing than he had imagined.

"Alright, the game should end now."

Zhou Liangan said indifferently; his voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his hand, and the purple-gold Aura in his palm turned into a stream of light, shooting toward the true eastern position of the Imprisoning Demon Heavenly Formation.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering roar came, and the purple-gold stream of light slammed heavily against the wall of the Formation.

The once indestructible wall of the Formation was like paper in front of this stream of light, instantly pierced through with a huge hole.

"Pfft!"

The Law Enforcement Team member standing at the true eastern position suffered a strong backlash from the Formation, violently spitting out a mouthful of blood; his body flew backward like a kite with broken strings, crashing heavily onto the alloy floor dozens of meters away, twitching twice before fainting.

The Imprisoning Demon Heavenly Formation had been broken!

The entire scene was instantly silent; one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone widened their eyes, mouths agape enough to fit a fist, unable to believe the scene they had just witnessed.

That was the Imprisoning Demon Heavenly Formation!

It was actually broken by Zhou Liangan with just a casual wave of his hand?

This is just too outrageous!

Chief Captain Ling Shuang's expression was ugly to the extreme; she never expected that the Imprisoning Demon Heavenly Formation she was so proud of would be so vulnerable in front of Zhou Liangan.

"Everyone, attack together! Fight him to the death!" Chief Captain Ling Shuang shouted sharply, fiercely drawing the energy sword from her waist.

She knew that the Formation was broken, and continuing would only result in being picked off one by one by Zhou Liangan; rather than sitting and waiting for death, it was better to give it a final fight, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.

The remaining eleven Law Enforcement Team members also reacted, drawing their swords one after another and roaring as they charged toward Zhou Liangan.

They were all elites who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood; they knew this was not the time to be afraid, and only by fighting with their lives could they possibly survive.

In an instant, eleven silver figures struck toward Zhou Liangan like lightning, the energy swords in their hands flickering with cold blue-white light, carrying sharp Killing Intent, piercing toward Zhou Liangan's vitals from different angles.

Their coordination was incomparably tacit; there were no gaps between their attacks, sealing off all of Zhou Liangan's escape routes.

Zhou Liangan stood in place, watching the Law Enforcement Team members charging at him, his face devoid of any expression.

His body swayed slightly to the side, easily dodging the first Law Enforcement Team member's sword thrust at his heart, then backhanded a palm, lightly slapping it onto the member's back.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, that Law Enforcement Team member didn't even have time to scream before his vision went black, and he fainted directly, his body collapsing softly onto the ground.

Immediately after, the second Law Enforcement Team member's sword thrust toward Zhou Liangan's throat.

Zhou Liangan extended two fingers and lightly pinched them, precisely catching the tip of the sword. No matter how hard that Law Enforcement Team member tried, he could not pull the sword out even a fraction.

Zhou Liangan exerted a slight force with his fingers, and with a "snap," the energy sword forged from special alloy was actually snapped in two by him.

Then he raised his knee and drove it into that Law Enforcement Team member's stomach.

That Law Enforcement Team member immediately doubled over, like a cooked shrimp, and collapsed on the ground, losing consciousness.

Zhou Liangan's movements were clean and efficient, without any hesitation.

He did not use any flashy Moves; it was just the simplest hand-to-hand combat, but with the added power of the fused purple-gold two types of Qi, it erupted with terrifying might.

Those Law Enforcement Team members, who were incomparably powerful Peak Nirvana Cultivators in the eyes of others, were like kindergarten children in front of Zhou Liangan, completely vulnerable.

Zhou Liangan's figure shuttled quickly through the crowd, so fast that only a blurred afterimage remained.

Every time his figure flashed by, a Law Enforcement Team member would fall to the ground, losing consciousness.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The dull sounds of impact rose and fell, like heavy hammers, pounding on everyone's hearts one by one.

The crowd of onlookers was completely stunned; they gaped, eyes unblinking, staring at the black figure in the center of the arena, having forgotten even to breathe.

They had originally thought this would be a fierce battle, and even if Zhou Liangan could win, he would pay a heavy price.

But they never expected that the battle would be a one-sided crush.

Eleven Peak Nirvana Law Enforcement Team members could not even take a single Move in front of Zhou Liangan, being beaten without any ability to fight back.

"My god! Is this even human?"

"Too terrifying! More than a dozen Peak Nirvana Cultivators, and they were beaten by him like baby chicks!"

"I actually mocked him for overestimating his own capabilities earlier; now it seems I was the one overestimating myself!"

"No wonder he dared to kill Second Elder Xuanyuan Tai; it turns out he really has this strength!"

"Look! His clothes aren't even a bit dirty! Not a single hair is out of place! This is simply a battle of immortals!"

Discussions arose once again, but this time, it was no longer mockery and pity, but filled with shock and awe.

Everyone's gaze toward Zhou Liangan had changed, from the previous sympathy and disdain to current adoration and fear.

Chief Captain Ling Shuang stood to the side, her hand gripping her sword tighter and tighter, her knuckles turning white from the force.

She watched her team members fall to the ground one after another, her heart feeling as if it were being tightly gripped by a giant hand, aching so much she couldn't catch her breath.

She wanted to rush up to help, but her body wouldn't listen; a deep fear spread from the bottom of her heart, rendering her unable to Move.

She had never seen anyone so powerful.

Even her Master had never brought her such a sense of oppression.

In less than thirty seconds, all eleven Law Enforcement Team members had fallen to the ground, lying helter-skelter, having lost consciousness.

In the entire vacuum circle of the starport, only Zhou Liangan and Chief Captain Ling Shuang remained.

Zhou Liangan brushed off dust that didn't exist; his clothes were still neat and new, without a single wrinkle, and his hair was combed neatly, not a single strand out of place.

From beginning to end, he had not suffered the slightest bit of harm; he was completely unscathed.

He slowly turned around and looked at Chief Captain Ling Shuang standing not far away, a faint, imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.

Chief Captain Ling Shuang looked at Zhou Liangan walking toward her step by step, her body involuntarily retreating a step.

Her eyes were filled with fear, but even more so with unwillingness and stubbornness. She bit her lower lip, suddenly raised the sword in her hand, pointed it at Zhou Liangan, and said with a trembling voice, "Y-you... don't come over! I'm telling you, I am the Chief Captain of the Transit Star Region Law Enforcement Team. If you dare to touch me, my Master will not let you go! The Xuanyuan Family will not let you go either!"

Zhou Liangan raised an eyebrow, his footsteps not stopping, continuing to walk toward Chief Captain Ling Shuang unhurriedly.

His footsteps were very light, but every step felt like it was treading on Chief Captain Ling Shuang's heart, making her heartbeat faster and faster.

"Your Master? The Law Enforcement Team General Captain?" Zhou Liangan said indifferently, a hint of mockery in his tone, "And the Xuanyuan Family? Do you think I would be afraid of them?"

He walked in front of Chief Captain Ling Shuang and stopped.

The distance between the two was less than a meter; he could clearly smell the faint scent of perfume on Chief Captain Ling Shuang, as well as her rapid breathing caused by nervousness.

Chief Captain Ling Shuang felt her skin crawl under Zhou Liangan's gaze; the hand holding her sword trembled incessantly, and she wanted to swing it at Zhou Liangan several times, but in the end, she lacked the courage.

She knew that even if she attacked, she wouldn't be able to hurt Zhou Liangan at all; instead, she would only humiliate herself.

"I... I was just performing my official duties," Chief Captain Ling Shuang said, trying to act calm, but her trembling voice betrayed the fear in her heart.

"Performing official duties?" Zhou Liangan sneered, "What a good excuse of performing official duties. If I were the one killed today, would your Law Enforcement Team be this active in catching Second Elder Xuanyuan Tai? I'm afraid you would just turn a blind eye."

Chief Captain Ling Shuang was speechless and could only lower her head, not daring to look directly into Zhou Liangan's eyes.

She knew very well in her heart that what Zhou Liangan said was the truth.

The Xuanyuan Family's power was too great; many times, the Law Enforcement Team had to act according to the Xuanyuan Family's wishes.

Zhou Liangan sneered, his gaze sweeping wickedly over Chief Captain Ling Shuang's voluptuous, graceful figure...
