Chen Xuan erupted in fury.

’Where the hell did this guy come from?’

’This is unbelievable!’

’What is it with the past two days? Did I not check the almanac or something?’

’Why is everyone and their mother trying to pick a fight with me?’

’Do they think I’m a pushover?’

Without a second thought, his aura erupted. His crimson-gold True Qi flooded into his right arm as he unleashed a palm strike, blasting down at the elder below.

BOOM!

A great torrent of crimson-gold flames erupted, surging forth like a terrifying fire dragon. Its power was wild and dreadful, a vast and mighty tide that crashed down upon the elder.

The yellow-robed elder’s expression changed. He felt his own powerful palm strike get annihilated by the opponent’s True Qi in an instant. A scorching aura immediately enveloped his entire body...

...as if he were standing alone at the mouth of a volcano.

The ferocious aura and scorching heat filled him with terror. A searing pain shot through his body, and it felt as if every bone was shattering. He let out a bloodcurdling scream on the spot.

His Cultivation was already inferior to Chen Xuan’s!

Furthermore, he was striking upward from below. Chen Xuan had the high ground, a decisive advantage the elder lacked.

As a result, he couldn’t even withstand a single blow.

With a BOOM, he vomited a torrent of blood. His body, wreathed in flames, was sent plummeting violently downward.

KRAK!

The entire ground shook violently.

Countless shattered stones were sent flying.

Pebbles flew through the air.

The searing aura and power continued to sweep outward, making the very ground tremble.

Everyone was horrified and subconsciously scrambled back.

They looked on in terror, their bodies trembling.

The terrifying, searing heat could be felt even from a great distance...

If anyone had doubted Chen Xuan’s power before, no one did now.

The fate of the elder before them was the best proof.

He had charged in with terrifying True Qi, only to be swatted from the city wall by a single palm from Chen Xuan, hitting the ground hard enough to leave a massive crater.

"Piece of trash!"

Chen Xuan’s tone was icy as he said, "Unbelievable. What kind of garbage dares to crawl out and attack me? Is there no justice in this world?"

He leaped down from the city wall.

[You have severely injured a True Qi Realm master. Retribution points +9000!]

Chen Xuan landed steadily on his feet. He reached into the crater and hauled the elder out, staring at the man’s extremely pained and bleeding face. "I don’t believe I’ve offended you," he said coldly. "So where the fuck did you come from, attacking me just like that?"

"Cough, cough..."

The elder’s face was contorted in pain as he coughed up blood. He spoke with great difficulty, "You... You’re finished... You dared to hang my... my young master... on the city wall. For such a humiliation, the Mixed Element Sect will not... will not let you go..."

"Your young master? Which one is that?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"Jiang... Jiang Hantian,"

the elder said painfully.

"Jiang Hantian?"

Chen Xuan frowned and glanced at the man who had just fainted—the one with the notoriously small... equipment. "So that’s who he is. His name is Jiang Hantian. Thanks for telling me. In a little while, I’ll have someone write his name on a sign and stick it on him so everyone can see that this is Jiang Hantian!"

"You... You’ll die a dog’s death! PTAH!"

The elder vomited a spray of blood, his rage overwhelming him, and fainted on the spot.

"Passed out already? Fine, I’ll hang you up on the wall too!"

With a slight shake, Chen Xuan shredded the man’s clothes. He then leaped back up to the city wall, got a rope from someone, tied the elder up securely, and hung him up next.

"Excellent. A family should be together, neat and tidy!"

Chen Xuan’s tone was flat.

’Don’t blame me for being ruthless!’

’It was the same principle as always: I won’t provoke others without reason.’

’But there are always people who think they’re special, who are so full of themselves they think they’re second only to God. They come looking for trouble, thinking they can do whatever they want to me.’

’In that case, too bad for them!’

’I will absolutely give them a taste of their own medicine!’

’In fact, I’ll pay them back a hundred, a thousand times over, until they completely break.’

After hanging the man, Chen Xuan’s eyes suddenly flashed. He scanned the crowd and noticed a particular figure.

Amidst the crowd, a shifty-looking old man was turning to leave, quickly trying to disappear.

’The Bai family?’

A thought occurred to him.

’I’d almost forgotten about them.’

’The Bai family... they should be able to provide a good amount of retribution points, right?’

’Although there wasn’t any great enmity between us... I had only killed two of their clan members, after all.’

’But once a karmic debt is formed, it has to be settled.’

Chen Xuan left the city wall directly and headed toward the Bai family’s estate in the county seat.

Below the city wall, the crowd erupted into a flurry of discussion.

Countless people were pointing and gossiping.

The events of today were undoubtedly the biggest thing to happen in Qinghe County in the last hundred years.

[Ding! Host’s renown has increased again, reaching the fifth stage: Regionally Renowned. Unlocking talent: Innate Tyrant Body!]

[Innate Tyrant Body: Your physical body has been further enhanced, granting you immense life force. As long as you are not killed instantly and beheaded, any injury you sustain will heal rapidly. For you, there are no longer any fatal wounds. With the blessing of the Innate Tyrant Body, you can instantly gain a threefold increase in combat power!]

A voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

Chen Xuan looked startled, then inwardly delighted.

’Another talent unlocked!’

’And it’s the Innate Tyrant Body!’

’Excellent!’

’This talent is way more powerful than the previous ones.’

’One talent, two abilities.’

’One is super-regeneration!’

’The other is a threefold boost to combat power!’

’Either one is an absolute ace in the hole.’
