Chapter 17: Long Time No See

"Master Judge, is there perhaps some misunderstanding about this matter today"

Having slightly loosened his grip, Lei Hongkun struggled to take a few steps and looked towards the judge, opening his mouth to speak.

Even if Lei Hongkun were to be more arrogant, he wouldn't be arrogant enough to disregard the Shadow Gate.

He is self-aware. If the Shadow Gate wanted to deal with his Lei family, they wouldn't need half an hour to wipe them out!

"Excuse me, Judge, who is this person" He then trembled and pointed a shaky finger at Ling Hao.

"Marshal, was this done by them" The judge ignored Lei Hongkun completely and turned to Ling Hao, asking.

"Mm!" Ling Hao nodded slightly.

Hearing this, a thousand men in brocade robes drew their swords simultaneously: "Kill!"

After the crashing waves, the oppressive atmosphere above the courtyard became even more intense.

The Lei family members' legs went limp, and one by one, they were drenched in cold sweat, their faces full of terror.

"I... I can't take it anymore!" one of the armed men in black shouted, "It's death either way, I'll fight you all to the end!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he pulled the trigger in Ling Hao's direction.

Ding!

A cold, crescent moon blade flew out like a bolt of lightning.

After colliding with the bullet at high speed, it spun back into the Judge's hand. The bullet fell to the ground and made a sharp sound.

"Disarm them!" Ling Hao said in a deep voice.

"Execute the General's orders!" Twenty men in embroidered clothes nodded simultaneously, their figures flashing like phantoms toward the hundred men in black.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Figures flashed, blades gleamed.

In a flash, hands holding guns fell to the ground one after another, severed at the wrist, blood flowing like a river.

"Ah…" Hysterical shrieks and screams echoed through the entire courtyard.

In less than two minutes, a hundred men in black were all sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seeing this, the rest of the Lei family members trembled and quickly dropped their weapons to the ground.

This is freaking terrifying!

These people are not only freakishly skilled, but also far more ruthless!

Quack! Quack! Quack!

At that moment, a hurried set of footsteps sounded again at the entrance of the courtyard.

The next moment, over two hundred heavily armed soldiers rushed into the estate.

After these people entered, they saw over a hundred severed hands on the ground. A flicker of surprise flashed in each of their eyes.

At the same time, they sensed a bone-chilling aura of sternness and killing intent from the man in brocade. They couldn't help but shiver, their faces pale with fright.

Even just this aura alone is far more formidable than any of those male special forces soldiers!

"Mu Junzhu!"

Seeing the vanguard of Mu Tiejun, Lei Hongkun, who had been on the brink of despair, seemed to have grasped a lifeline.

"General Mu, you're just in time! These people trespassed into private homes, acted lawless and used brutal methods. Quickly order your men to arrest them all!"

"Shut up!" Mu Tiejun roared, then looked at the group of men in brocade robes: "Excuse me, which one of you is the Judge"

"Who are you" The judge turned to look at Mu Tiejun and spoke in a calm voice.

"Greetings, Lord Judge. I am Mu Tiejun from the Yun Cheng War Zone. I have long heard of your esteemed name. To meet you today is a blessing in three lifetimes!" Mu Tiejun bowed slightly.

"The people of the Yun City battleground"

The judge surveyed the men in their armor, then spoke: "Are you here to arrest members of our Yingmen"

"Sir Judge, you've misunderstood!" Mu Tiejun jumped in fright.

"I just heard that Lord Judge has arrived in Yun City. I don't know what major event happened, so I came here specially to see if you have any orders!"

After a brief pause, he continued, "Lord Judge, what happened that required you to come to Yun Cheng in person"

"Humph!" The judge coldly snorted, "You Yun City folks are truly amazing!"

Under the vast and clear sky, there are people who dare to kidnap others for a heart transplant operation for their granddaughter, completely disregarding the lives of other children. This is truly outrageous!

"Hmm!" Mu Tiejun was slightly taken aback, a puzzled look crossing his mind.

This matter, although it is universally condemned, wouldn't warrant the Judge of Hell personally leading a thousand members of the Shadow Gate to Yun City to handle it!

Unless, there's a possibility!

That's because the child's background is special, so special that it even warranted a trip from the judge himself!

What kind of person could possibly be so important that they would cause the Judge, one of the five blades of Yingmen, to value them so highly!

After slightly softening his tone, Mu Tiejun pointed at the backs of Ling Hao and Lu Yue and said softly.

"Judge, who are those two"

"Mu Tiejun, I didn't expect you to be in Yuncheng. It's been a long time, how have you been" Just then, Ling Hao turned around and spoke calmly.

Boom!

After recognizing Ling Hao, Mu Tiejun trembled all over, his face full of astonishment. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately knelt on one knee.

"Subject Mu Tiejun, greets the Grand Marshal!"

Yikes!

Besides Lü Yuè and the members of Yǐng Mén, everyone else present gasped at the sight.

What is going on!

The head honcho of the Yun Cheng battle zone, renowned throughout the land, is bowing to this young man!

Even Mu Tiejun's retinue of men in military garb were left with expressions of utter shock!

Their heads, well those were definitely the heads of hot-blooded men with ironclad wills! I've never seen him treat anyone with such respect before!

And Xu Biao, who was standing not far behind Mu Tiejun, saw this scene and his heart was already in turmoil!

Given his understanding of Mu Shou, the only person he could make bow down in reverence would be...

That's the one from legend!

King of the West, Master of Shadows, Ling Shuai!

Knock! Knock!

At the same time, Lei Hongkun and his brother both fell to their buttocks.

Mu Tiejun's actions became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Even Lian Mu Tiejun, whose army has a reputation for being tough, knows they are big shots even if they are stupid!

The Lei family is truly at their wit's end!

"Come on, speak up!" Ling Hao raised his hand.

"Greetings, Duke Shu!" Mu Tiejun's voice was unusually excited, his eyes filled with boundless admiration.

He was once a member of the Blood Shadow Squad, serving as the deputy general of Xuanwu, one of the Four Great Warlords. He followed Ling Hao through numerous intense battles.

Later, due to some objective reasons, he withdrew from the Blood Shadow Squad and subsequently came to Yun Cheng.

His life was saved by Ling Hao!

At that time, he was separated from his main force because he was held back by a deputy general of the enemy country. In the end, he fell into the enemy's encirclement.

Although he fought back with all his might, due to the enemy's overwhelming numbers and his pre-existing injuries, he was unable to hold out for long before reaching his breaking point.

Just when he was on the verge of despair, Ling Hao appeared!

One man, wielding a blood-shadow sword, slaughtered nearly ten thousand enemy soldiers, pulling him back from the jaws of death!

Every time he thinks of that moment from the past, his heart surges with passion!er..." The dressed-up beauty responded with a trembling and startled voice.Whew!Before her words could even fade, a gust of wind swept through the air, and the figures of Ling Hao and the others had v...
