Chapter 801
by fanqienovelChapter 801: Power is Supreme
“Ah!”
A piercing scream suddenly echoed in the teahouse.
It could be clearly heard from three miles away.
But this was just the beginning!
A white figure darted between the blue-clad men, moving with lightning speed and creating a dazzling spectacle, spraying hot blood everywhere.
Even the middle-aged man, who had retreated ten steps away, got splattered with blood.
One by one, the blue-clad men fell to the ground, screaming in agony. They had deep, tearing wounds on their arms and legs; their clothes were in tatters, and their flesh was mangled, with tendons severed!
Such injuries were not enough to be fatal, but for a martial artist, they were more terrifying than death itself.
With their tendons cut, even if they were lucky enough to recover, they would need extremely precious elixirs for healing; otherwise, they would become useless.
But those kinds of elixirs were far beyond the reach of these thugs!
In just a few moments, over a dozen blue-clad men at the Blood Refinement and Marrow Refinement level lay in a pool of blood.
They writhed in pain, convulsing and howling, turning the small teahouse into a living hell!
The middle-aged man, the instigator, was now trembling with a dazed expression.
He never dreamed that the elite team he brought would not even touch a hair on the main target before falling to the claws of the opponent’s pet beast.
Indeed, it was not Wang Chen who had just dispatched the blue-clad men.
It was the white fox!
With a swoosh, it dashed back into Wang Chen’s arms and curled up again, leisurely licking its clean paws, as if the blood all around had nothing to do with it.
Ten steps away, the middle-aged man collapsed to his knees and stammered, “I-I failed to recognize Taiwu Mountain, I-I…”
“Get lost!”
With a wave of his hand, Wang Chen struck the man with an invisible force, sending him flying through the air.
He landed on the ground like a pig’s head, missing half a tooth.
And this was already Wang Chen showing mercy!
“My name is Wang Chen.”
Wang Chen stated lightly, “I currently reside in Kuan Liu Alley. If you’re not satisfied, feel free to bring someone else and see if you can take my white fox away!"
Originally, he wanted to kill, but unexpectedly, Hu Jiao Jiao acted first.
That’s fine, the intimidation effect was just as good!
After speaking, Wang Chen stood up to leave.
As he exited the teahouse, he paused and knocked on the counter.
The teahouse owner, hiding inside, stiffened and stood up tremulously: “W-What can I do for you, esteemed guest?”
“Sorry for getting your place dirty.”
Wang Chen tossed a few purple coins onto the counter and said, “Let this be compensation.”
The shopkeeper wanted to refuse, but when he looked up, Wang Chen’s figure had already vanished.
There was no way to hide such a big incident happening next to the Bureau of Administration.
Moreover, not all the tea patrons had fled; a few braver ones had hidden in the corners to witness the entire event.
Although the middle-aged man did not announce his identity, there just happened to be someone familiar with him present.
As a result, Wang Chen’s name, along with the "interesting tale" about someone trying to steal his pet beast and ending up with a beaten head, spread like wildfire throughout Taiwu City!
It stirred quite a ripple!
Wang Chen initially planned to go to Elder Yao’s secret vault after completing registration today.
However, due to this incident, he decided not to proceed with his plans and returned home instead.
In the evening, a fully armed group appeared at Wang Chen’s doorstep.
The newcomers wore dark blue tunics, exuding a fierce aura. The leader, a martial artist with dark skin and a resolute face, had a deep scar on his left cheek and sharp eyes.
Since Wang Chen’s door was wide open, he charged in first and said in a deep voice, “Wang Chen, your actions have come to light; if you don’t want to die, surrender without resistance!”
Wang Chen was sitting in a recliner, reading a book, with the white fox lying on his lap.
He set his book down and smiled, “My actions? What actions of mine?”
“You know very well what you’ve done!”
The leader replied arrogantly, “I am Qi Yao, head of the capture squad. Don’t think that just because you are innate you can do whatever you please; Taiwu City is not a place for you to run wild!”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the captains behind him waved their Dragon Lock Chains.
This peculiar weapon belonged exclusively to the captives, used specifically to apprehend dangerous criminals, and it could also form a battle array to capture powerful opponents.
Qi Yao himself was an innate strong fighter, and among his subordinates, there were three Innate Martial Artists.
He spoke with great confidence.
In Qi Yao’s eyes, Wang Chen was like a turtle caught in a pot.
To be honest, Wang Chen’s youth astonished Qi Yao, and he felt it was a pity.
A talent like this should shine the brightest in Taiwu, but due to youthful arrogance and offending the powerful, his fate was already sealed!
While thinking this, Qi Yao stirred his innate true energy, ready to work with his subordinates to capture Wang Chen.
It was ordered from above that he should be captured alive!
However, the next moment, Qi Yao’s pupils suddenly constricted, revealing an expression of disbelief.
He quickly spread his arms and shouted, “Stop!”
The attack from the captives had not even begun yet when it was abruptly interrupted.
Qi Yao’s expression shifted from uncertainty to grave as he asked, “May I ask, esteemed immortal, if there is a misunderstanding?”
“Esteemed immortal” is a respectful title for cultivators from common folk!
At this moment, Wang Chen still sat in his chair.
He simply opened his left hand, revealing a bright red flame burning silently in his palm.
A spell!
A spell only cultivators can wield!
What kind of person was Qi Yao that he wouldn’t recognize Wang Chen’s power?
He immediately realized he had hit a brick wall!
There was a saying in Taiwu City: “The law does not apply to cultivators.” Ordinary rules do not apply to them.
Although Qi Yao was an innate strong fighter, without the decree from Taiwu Pavilion and the support of a cultivator, he was not qualified to arrest Wang Chen.
“A misunderstanding?”
Wang Chen laughed, “There is no misunderstanding. Someone tried to steal my things; I taught him a lesson. Is that a problem?”
“No!”
Qi Yao shook his head without a second thought, “Esteemed immortal, you are wise. I was misled and ask for your forgiveness for intruding!”
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Wang Chen.
Wang Chen brought his fingers together, extinguishing the flame in his palm.
“Forget it.”
He waved his hand and said, “Ignorance is no fault. Just report this truthfully when you return.”
“Understood!”
Qi Yao respectfully retreated, leading his men out the door.
Wang Chen petted the white fox in his arms and smiled, “Indeed, in Taiwu, strength is respected.”
Even though he arrived without roots, as long as he displayed overwhelming power, nothing would be a problem!
