My Checkpoint System Turned Me Into The Godfather of Humanity

Chapter 27: One Palm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Within the deserted forest.

There was a group of fighters wielding swords and sabers, proceeding cautiously.

Their destination was the Zhang family of Mt. Shaoyan.

For the past few years, the Lin commandery, and even the Xia clan as a whole, had faced lots of trouble. Many gruesome events kept popping up and the conflict between the organizations of the society just kept getting more serious as the days passed by. Even the number of people going missing had increased.

Some of the older folk noticed something was amiss and even suspected there were some weird organization or foreign clans making underhanded actions. Each commandery had formed an Allied Investigation Group to start investigating the incident.

They were just one of the groups in the Lin commandery that was responsible for that incident.

“Is there any reliable news, Brother Murong? The disappearances of the fighters of our Lin commandery, and a few of those weird murders, are these really the actions of the Zhang family? You had better not be mistaken about it!”

While on duty, a burly man spoke softly.

Beside him was a scrawny middle-aged man with a figure-eight mustache. He was one of the elders of the big Murong family in Lin commandery, Murong Bo.

Because of the previous Anti-Lin War, all the top overwhelming fighters of the Lin commandery had vanished, leaving behind vast areas of empty land.

For the past few years, the Murong family had been involved in lots of conflicts with the Zhang family because of territory issues. Both families viewed each other as enemies and had reached a state where they could not communicate with each other at all.

This time, they were the ones who noticed that the Zhang family was at fault. Under the circumstances where there was no concrete evidence, they could not rule out the possibility of them using others to murder people. After all, there were plenty of such incidents occurring at the boundaries of the Xia clan.

“I’m sure of it! Why would I lie about it?”

Murong Bo was well aware about what the other guy was thinking and snapped back with an unpleasant tone.

Then, to make it sound more convincing, he snorted coldly and added, “Brother Lin, I am aware that previously there were lots of unfortunate things that occurred continuously at the boundaries of the Xia clan. It’s only natural for you to develop suspicion, but you have to understand that it’s because of those incidents, there are already some Demi-King elders announcing that whoever still dares to seize the opportunity to purposely harm others and cause troubles, will judge them according to the incident. If it’s a minor incident, all the people related to the incident will be shot to death, and if it’s a serious offense, the entire clan will be chased out to the boundaries of the three borders!”

“Given the current circumstances, do you think I’d date spew baseless nonsense?”

Murong Bo’s expression became serious.

“You’re right!” The tough guy nodded.

For the time being, lots of rumors were spreading around. There were even some families who seemed to have a death wish and took the opportunity to wreak havoc, causing the situation to become chaotic. The elders of the Demi-Kings could not bear to witness the scene and hence made their statement, and only then the situation became more controlled.

However, everything had its pros and cons!

The Demi-King elders had made their statement and set the punishment. As a result, those who had strong suspicions about a certain organization dared not report it because unless they had more concrete or reliable evidence.

As for the case of Murong Bo, it seemed that he must be quite confident to be publicly reporting about it.

Suddenly, a blurred outline which no one was able to look at directly suddenly appeared and blocked their path forward.

“Who’s there?!”

“What’s the meaning of this?”

“F*ck!”

The group of fighters was frightened.

They quickly drew their swords and sabers and took a cautious stance.

In the deserted mountain out in the wild, it was rather unnerving for a blurry human figure to suddenly show up.

‘Wait a minute?’

‘Blurry human figure?’

When they had recovered slightly from their shock, their expressions all turned into one of horror. The thing blocking them was clearly right in front of them, yet they were unable to look at it.

It was like their eyes were dazzled by gold, and everything turned blurry.

They were all seasoned fighters. Not to mention, in that group, the lowest ranking person was also a Precelestial Grandmaster.

They had alert mentalities and eyes as sharp as a hawk—the most basic specs that they all possessed.

It was impossible for any of them to have far-sightedness or blurry vision.

Even if their eyes were sprinkled with sand, it would not affect their clear vision.

With just one glare, those sharp glints from their eyes could scare ordinary people to death.

However…

Currently.

There was a living human before them, yet they could not even visualize it properly.

They attempted to shift their gaze to look in other directions and that was perfectly fine. However, when they tried to look straight at the human figure ahead, everything would become blurry.

‘We’re really witnessing a ghost in the flesh!’

When dealing with such a mysterious scenario, the group of grandmasters did not dare make any reckless moves.

With their regularly hot tempers, it was a rare sight that not one person in the group would take the lead to start throwing tantrums when their path was blatantly blocked.

Of course, that blurry human outline was Chu He.

He came from far away, passing by a few cities, following his secret treasure’s direction, and rushed his way and finally reached there.

He just came to a halt in the sky when he noticed something interesting and immediately changed his path and descended to the ground.

“You do know what’s up ahead, right?”

Everyone was puzzled, not knowing who Chu He was talking to. However, an unknown force made all of their attention gather on Murong Bo.

They had come to an understanding that this problem arose from Murong Bo.

“What’s the meaning of this?”

“Why would I know what’s ahead?”

“Who are you?”

Murong Bo’s expression was dark and he shot three questions continuously.

Chu He’s blurry outline made it clear he was no simple person and it would be best not to offend him.

‘With such a stance, it’s likely that he’s a powerhouse.’

Murong Bo’s expression became awful after being gazed upon by such an entity.

“You’re being stubborn!”

Chu He shook his head and was not at all interested to argue with him.

He suddenly stretched out one palm and sent a slap forth.

A huge golden palm appeared and vanished shortly after that.

A small hill ahead was immediately smashed flat.

Boom!

Following that, a loud sound slowly erupted.

There was no fantastic scene of dust spreading in every direction and giant rocks flying around.

Just a loud explosion.

Then everything resumed its silence.

If they had not witnessed it with their naked eyes, no one would believe that a hill of one or two acres would be casually crushed flat by someone with just a gentle movement of their palm.

The most horrifying thing had yet to happen. The most spine-chilling thing was that apart from the loud sound, the terrifying palm strike did not cause much commotion at all.

There were no boulders flying everywhere, smoke erupting or massive earthquakes shaking the land.

Just a loud sound.

Then, a small hill a few meters tall had been compressed into flat land.

That was how overwhelming the opponent’s palm was. Only someone who possessed absolute accuracy would be able to pull it off!

On top of that, it was highly possible that the person who unleashed the attack had not used his full strength.

Perhaps it was just a casual slap.

Scary!

Everyone’s expression became more and more ghastly.

Meanwhile, Murong Bo was so scared that he felt like he was going to wet his pants!

Other people had no idea what was contained within that little hill. They were just astonished by the overwhelming power of that palm.

Murong Bo, who alone knew the truth, felt his insides were about to burst out of fear!

‘Why is it that little hill?’

‘Why must it be that little hill?’

‘Is it a coincidence?’

Murong Bo wanted to fool himself with that possibility but could not manage it.

Combined with the comments that Chu He uttered.

It was all perfectly clear.

That entity, which no one could look at clearly, had undoubtedly seen through the entire incident.

He was exposed!

Even though he had no idea what the flaw was.

Regardless, the truth was that it had just happened before him.

Murong Bo’s expression changed and he forced himself to calm down and stopped his limbs from trembling. Then, he spun around and fled the scene with his light footwork.

The essential qi within his body had been set to the maximum output.

He forced out all of his strength.
