The six fireballs that flew over were fast and accurate. It was obvious that they weren't the work of an ordinary summoner.
The fireballs instantly evaporated the rain as they passed through the air, leaving six arrow-like white lines in the air …
However, this time, Xia Pingan didn't have to make a move.
Long Chao, who was standing beside Xia Pingan, didn't utter a word. He just took a step forward and raised his hand. The rain in the sky then transformed into a huge net with rippling water waves, which then wrapped around the six fireballs. When the fireballs were less than ten meters away from Xia Pingan and the others, the six fireballs were caught.
Boom!
The fireballs exploded in the water net and disappeared along with the net, leaving behind a large cloud of steam. The steam turned into water droplets in the blink of an eye and fell to the ground with the rain.
Dozens of Huang Residence guards rushed over and blocked in front of Xia Pingan and the others. They surrounded Xia Pingan and the others.
The person at the front was wearing a blue brocade robe and had a mustache. His speed was very fast. Just now, that person had directly jumped over from the nearby courtyard. While he was in the air, he shot a fireball at Xia Pingan and the others.
As the saying went, once an expert made a move, the truth would be revealed. Long Chao's move had stunned him. Sensing Long Chao's powerful Two Sun realm strength, the person narrowed his eyes and sized Long Chao up after landing. It was as though he had met a formidable opponent and didn't dare to act rashly.
"Whoosh …"
Amidst the sounds of guns being pulled and bullets being loaded, some of the Huang Residence guards took out their guns and aimed them at Xia Pingan and the others.
Xia Pingan didn't move, but Long Chao's team members didn't hold back either. They lifted their black windbreakers and also took out their guns and aimed them at the Huang Residence guards.
"Damn it, you want to compete with guns …" Long Chao's team member cursed. He didn't do anything, but a heavy machine gun that looked like a Gatling gun appeared in his hand. He aimed it at the Huang Residence guards.
This team member had his own spatial equipment. Furthermore, he had placed a heavy machine gun in his spatial equipment.
For Summoners, guns were also useful. Most of the time, it was much easier to kill someone with a bullet than with a fireball. Fireballs required divine power, but bullets were very cheap.
To ordinary people, the black muzzle of the gun was even more intimidating than the fireball that you didn't summon.
Seeing that the people around Xia Pingan could actually take out heavy machine guns, the faces of the Huang Mansion's guards and summoners changed again. Heavy machine guns, other than the military and a few powerful organizations, no one else could take them out.
Xia Pingan flashed his token and coldly said to the people of the Huang Residence, "The Inspection Department is investigating and arresting criminals. Those who have nothing to do with this, please step aside!"
Seeing Xia Pingan take out the inspector's token, the Huang Residence's guards and guards, including the person who had just used a fireball on Xia Pingan, changed their expressions slightly.
"Where did this Inspection Department come from? How dare you come to our Huang Estate and behave atrociously …" A slightly aged voice sounded out. Then, under the gazes of Xia Pingan and the others, an overbearing old man in his sixties, dressed in brocade robes, with a hooked nose, triangular eyes, and glossy hair, quickly walked over from a nearby courtyard. Beside him was the guard who had just come in to report the news. He was in his early sixties and had an overbearing air about him.
The old man glared at Xia Pingan with eyes spitting fire. Along the way, the Huang Residence's guards all called him "Steward Huang".
As soon as he arrived, the old man's eyes were fixed on Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan also stared at Steward Huang. Judging from his aura, Xia Pingan felt that Steward Huang was also a summoner who had already advanced to the Three Suns Realm.
"Are you from the Jinyang Inspection Department? Where's the inspector of Jinyang Inspection Department, Yao Youchang? Why didn't he come?" The steward of the Huang Residence asked directly.
"We're from the Donggang Inspection Department. I'm the inspector of Donggang Inspection Department, Xia Pingan!" Xia Pingan said calmly.
Steward Huang glanced at Xia Pingan and the others before revealing a sneer, "This is the Jinyang District. Since when is it the Donggang Inspection Department's turn to take care of this place? Is it because our Huang Clan's property in Donggang didn't pay you a visit? If so, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to leave if you don't give our Huang Clan an explanation. Do you really think our Huang Clan is a place where you can come and go as you please?"
"The Inspection Department can cross districts when handling cases. I don't need the consent of the Jinyang Inspection Department or the Huang Clan to track down criminals here. Except for the Imperial City, there's no place in Shangjing City that the Judgement Army can't enter. Do you think your Huang Clan can compare to the Imperial City?" Xia Pingan refuted.
Steward Huang's face was gloomy as he stared at Xia Pingan with an ice-cold gaze. "Our Huang Clan is loyal and devoted to the Shang Dynasty. You, a mere envoy inspector, dare to come to our Huang Clan to spout nonsense and sow discord?"
"Although my position as an inspector is small and can't be compared to that of a provincial governor, my responsibilities are great. Guarding the land and pacifying the people, eliminating violence and protecting the good are my duties. Today, we're here to track down criminals. Please cooperate with us!"
"How dare you slander our Huang Clan? Are you going to take responsibility for your words?" "Of course I will take responsibility for my words.
"Of course I will take responsibility for my words. A month ago, there were many rape cases in the East Harbor District. Many people were harmed. The culprit is a summoner. His methods are cruel and heinous. Other than raping women, he also likes to use a knife to carve patterns on the bodies of the women he raped. Today, I followed the clues and found that the culprit is hiding in the Huang Residence. We will search the Huang Residence!"
As Xia Pingan spoke, his eyes were fixed on Steward Huang. He found that after he said that the rapist was a summoner and might be hiding in the Huang Clan, Steward Huang's eyes moved with a hint of surprise. He seemed to have thought of something.
At this moment, Xia Pingan had an idea.
"What clues?" Steward Huang asked directly.
Xia Pingan laughed and his eyes turned cold. "What I told you just now was just to follow the notification procedures of the Inspection Department. You're just a lowly steward. To put it bluntly, you're just a servant without any status. You have no official position. How can a servant like you have the right to ask about the Inspection Department's case? Even if the provincial governor came, I'd make him scram!" Xia Pingan's words made Steward Huang so angry that his face turned pale. His body trembled and he stared at Xia Pingan with a venomous gaze as if he wanted to eat him up.
Xia Pingan ignored him. He looked around and said coldly, "You already know who I am and why I'm here. The Inspection Department of the Inspection Department is handling a case. Anyone who dares to obstruct us can be killed on the spot. If I killed you just now, I would be punishing you without teaching you a lesson. Now, if any of you dare to obstruct us, you're courting death. Don't blame me for being merciless!"
"Hahaha, a mere Three Sun Realm envoy inspector like you dares to show off in our Huang Family!" Steward Huang laughed angrily. He took two steps forward and looked at Xia Pingan provocatively. "Today, the Inspection Department of the East Port District has barged into our Huang Family without reason. If you don't give us an explanation, don't even think about leaving …"
"You want to … stop me from handling the case?" Xia Pingan asked with narrowed eyes.
"I won't just stop you. Today, I will take you down and teach you the rules. When the Judgement Army comes, they will give us an explanation …" Steward Huang said as he took another step forward. His eyes flashed and he directly attacked Xia Pingan.
Steward Huang was indeed a Three Sun Realm expert. With a stomp of his foot, the ground beneath Xia Pingan and the others flashed with circles of yellow light. The Circle Prison spell was immediately activated. With a wave of his hand, the raindrops in the sky instantly condensed into icicles and fell from the sky. They were like thousands of bullets, whistling through the air as they shot toward Xia Pingan and the others from all directions.
At the same time, the black fog around Steward Huang surged, and an assassin with a dagger in his hand and face covered in black fog came out. At this moment, his figure was like lightning and smoke, passing through the countless icicles that were like bullets. The dagger in his hand went straight for Xia Pingan's throat.
This was no longer an arrest, but a murderous intent. He wanted to kill Xia Pingan in one move and severely injure Long Chao and the others.
From the moment he entered the Huang Residence, Xia Pingan had been ready to take action and was ready to deal with anything.
The moment Steward Huang made his move, Xia Pingan also made his move. He jumped up from the ground and opened his hands. Then, a clear bird's cry that resounded through the nine heavens appeared behind Xia Pingan …
However, as soon as the bird's cry appeared, the icicles that were shooting toward him evaporated and disappeared without a trace.
In the next second, all the guards in the Huang Mansion felt as if they were in a huge furnace of fire. Everywhere, in the sky, on the ground, on all sides, there was blazing fire. The fire had a terrifying power that seemed to be able to turn everything into nothingness under the fire.
Xia Pingan, who was in the air, was like the king of the flames, looking down on the world.
A pair of dazzling, flaming wings slowly spread out from Xia Pingan's back. Everyone felt sweat pouring out of their bodies, as if the blood in their bodies was burning …
Behind the pair of wings were a pair of slender and powerful legs that stood in the void, followed by a proud neck, a head that looked like a divine bird with a flaming crown, and a cold and emotionless gaze of the divine bird that seemed to be able to incinerate everything …
"Sky-burning Vermillion Bird …" Steward Huang's voice suddenly became incomparably shrill and terrified.
Steward Huang wanted to retreat, desperately retreating. Even if you beat him to death, he would never have thought that Xia Pingan could summon such a powerful and terrifying divine creature.
Xia Pingan, who was in the air, only pointed at Steward Huang. The flaming Vermillion Bird spread its wings and pounced toward Steward Huang.
The Vermillion Bird's wings lightly flew over the assassin that had come out of the black fog. The assassin instantly turned into smoke and dissipated.
Steward Huang wanted to escape, wanted to save himself, wanted to summon a water shield, armor …
However, all of this was futile.
The flaming Vermillion Bird's movements seemed very, very slow, but in reality, it was very, very fast.
The Vermillion Bird passed through the water shield in front of Steward Huang and the armor that Steward Huang had summoned. It was as if it was passing through mist and thin gauze.
The Vermillion Bird and Steward Huang hugged each other, and in an instant, they turned into a bright ball of fire.
"Ah …" Steward Huang's scream was short and mournful in the scorching sun, but it came to an abrupt end in an instant …
