Chapter 389 The Storm Is Brewing
On the other side, above the capital city of Blue Star.
Dark clouds loom over the city; a storm is brewing.
A jet-black spaceship, tens of thousands of meters long, hovered above the capital city like an ancient behemoth.
The ship's surface gleamed with a cold metallic sheen, and its enormous shadow enveloped almost the entire city, making it hard to breathe.
hum-
With a low, mechanical hum, the hatch at the bottom of the warship slowly opened.
Tens of thousands of federal law enforcement officers, clad in dark silver exoskeletons and wielding high-energy beam guns, swarmed out like locusts.
They stood in neat rows, their feet treading on the void, and the murderous aura emanating from them made countless cultivators in the capital city below feel their hearts tremble.
This is an elite force capable of wiping out a small planet in a short time.
The head of the enforcement team wore a striking dark gold battle armor, a mark of an eighth-tier expert.
His face was cold and stern, his gaze sweeping across the ground like a hawk's, and his voice, amplified by spiritual power, resounded like thunder throughout the heavens and earth.
"The Federal Law Enforcement Department is pursuing an SSS-level wanted criminal! All citizens of Earth, regardless of their cultivation level or social status, must unconditionally cooperate with the search!"
"Anyone who attempts to resist, conceal, or escape will be killed without exception!"
These chilling words not only echoed over the capital city, but also spread instantly to every corner of the planet via powerful divine thought broadcasting.
In a luxuriously decorated room in Lin'an City.
Lin Hanzhou, who had just left the Hall of Reincarnation, was holding a glass of water and listening calmly to the globally broadcast announcement.
"They came so quickly."
He put down his water glass, raising his eyebrows slightly.
A vast amount of divine thought surged out silently like a tide, instantly covering the entire blue planet.
In his perception, federal law enforcement officers have appeared not only in Beijing, but also in Lin'an, Shanghai, and even in remote mountain towns.
Armed with the latest "genetic analyzers" and "identity verification devices," they are conducting a so-called "carpet search" from house to house.
"Identity verification..."
Lin Hanzhou muttered to himself.
The identity he's using now, while seemingly that of a legitimate rich second-generation, is actually a "fake" identity he bought at a high price on the black market.
The original owner of this body died long ago during a spiritual adventure.
This identity might fool a regular security check, but under the scrutiny of the five great families who have mobilized the state apparatus, it simply cannot withstand scrutiny.
Once it's discovered that someone has falsified their identity, they will inevitably be under close scrutiny, and it will be difficult to extricate themselves from the situation then.
As for his original identity, it hasn't been used for several months, and it would be troublesome to explain it later if he used it now.
"Instead of waiting passively, it's better to take the initiative."
A glint of light flashed in Lin Hanzhou's eyes.
He sensed the strength of this group of law enforcement officers once again.
The strongest one was the golden-armored captain above the capital, who was at the first level of the eighth rank.
The others are just low-ranking minions, only at the fifth, sixth, or seventh level.
As for ninth-tier powerhouses, even if a cultivator of that level arrived, he wouldn't be able to detect them.
However, it's not a big problem. With his current resources, the incomplete immortal sword, and the divine essence of the demon god, he has the advantage.
Even if a true ninth-tier expert came, he was confident he could kill him.
"Now I have nothing to worry about."
Lin Hanzhou's lips curled into a cold smile.
He is no longer the little cultivator who needed to carefully hide his strength.
With a thought, Lin Hanzhou's figure instantly became blurry.
The next second, he had already disappeared from the living room.
When he reappeared, he was already standing outside the atmosphere of Earth, in the vast and deep void of the universe.
Looking back, the azure planet was beautiful and serene, and on its surface, countless monks and flying shuttles, like ants, were busily shuttling about.
Goodbye, Blue Star.
Lin Hanzhou showed no hesitation and turned to leave using his movement technique.
However, just as he took that first step...
Beep—beep—beep—!
A piercing alarm suddenly rang out in the surrounding void.
Immediately afterwards, red laser nets appeared out of thin air, instantly sealing off the space within a radius of a hundred miles.
"Um?"
Lin Hanzhou stopped and looked at the suddenly appearing restrictions with some surprise.
"They actually set up these energy fluctuation traps in outer space?"
"It seems the five great families have really gone to great lengths to capture me this time."
……
[Federal Law Enforcement Flagship - Command Center]
"Alert! Alert! High-energy reaction detected!"
"Coordinates: Outer space of Earth, 118 degrees East longitude!"
"Energy fluctuation level: Level 8! The target is suspected of attempting to escape!"
The piercing alarm made Captain Golden Armor, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly open them.
He looked at the red dot that had suddenly appeared on the holographic screen, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
"Heh, finally caught you."
"No matter how well a mouse digs its burrows, it can never escape the hunter's trap."
"Pass the order: continue the search on Blue Star. Flagship, immediately initiate a space jump and go meet this reckless fool!"
"yes!"
……
In the universe.
Lin Hanzhou stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the void not far ahead suddenly distort.
hum!
A ripple spread through the space, and then, the 10,000-meter-class starship that had been hovering above the capital city appeared out of thin air like a ghost.
The massive hull blocked out the starlight in the distance, and the dark muzzle of the main gun was pointed directly at Lin Hanzhou, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.
"Sizzle—"
A powerful divine thought, carrying an arrogant and condescending tone, directly entered Lin Hanzhou's mind.
"Who are you?!"
"How dare you leave Earth without permission while our federal law enforcement has imposed a blockade! Do you know your crime?!"
"Surrender immediately and submit to inspection! Otherwise..."
The enforcement captain's voice was full of authority, as if he were pronouncing the fate of an ant.
However, his words were cut short before he could finish speaking.
Because he saw that the seemingly tiny figure standing in the void suddenly move.
No nonsense, no explanation.
There wasn't even a single polite word.
boom--!!!
An indescribable, terrifying aura erupted from Lin Hanzhou's body in an instant.
That was not just a fluctuation of spiritual energy, but a crushing force originating from the level of life itself.
The void around him shattered inch by inch under this aura, and golden blood and energy shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption, condensing into a blazing sun behind him!
Heavenly Rank Fist Technique - [Great Sun Divine Fist]!
Lin Hanzhou unleashed a punch with his right fist, which was enveloped in the golden sun, without any fancy moves.
This punch seemed to obscure even the light of the stars.
The terrifying force of the fist transformed into a golden sun, crashing down fiercely towards the arrogant starship.
