"Why don't you ask him if he fears me?"

As the words fell, everyone present was stunned.

Wait, is True Essence Realm Stage Two even on the same level as Qi Sea Realm Stage Three?!

Everyone was very curious about how this young man's mind worked.

Just then, a voice as cold as frost cut through the air.

"What if I say I don't fear you!?"

The crowd in front automatically parted, revealing a path. A woman in a green long gown, who looked quite beautiful, slowly walked over.

Min Yue, True Essence Realm Stage Two, and also the mistress of this stronghold.

"Cousin Aunt!"

The lecherous man shouted, "This kid is causing trouble on our turf, hurry up and cripple him!"

Min Yue glanced at the heavily injured guard, her expression growing colder.

However, before she could speak.

Chu Sheng said coldly, "Harboring criminals, and allowing your subordinates to privately set up a punishment hall, you're breaking the law too!"

"Oh, so what? Are you going to arrest me?"

Min Yue flashed a beautiful smile, but the next second, her expression changed drastically.

A strand of lightning suddenly appeared.

A purple lightning dragon had already charged towards her.

"So fast!"

That was her first reaction. She tried to dodge by turning sideways, but saw a green energy beam slash towards her waist.

The terrifying power made Min Yue unable to remain calm.

Was this young man really only at Qi Sea Realm Stage Three?

The next moment, a burst of green divine light erupted from Min Yue's body.

With a loud "boom."

Min Yue was forced back several steps, the green divine light rippling.

The force of this saber strike was in no way inferior to True Essence Realm Stage Two, it was even considerably more powerful.

Min Yue was even more shocked. Since when did the Jingwu Bureau produce such a genius?!

This brat was too monstrous, and he had already made an enemy of the Min Family. He absolutely could not be allowed to live.

Seeing Chu Sheng attack again, Min Yue took out her Cold Jade Sword and unleashed a Earth-grade low-tier martial skill, Vast Misty Waves.

The terrifying torrent of True Essence, vast as the ocean, instantly engulfed Chu Sheng.

This was the gap between True Essence Realm and Qi Sea Realm.

In True Essence Realm, True Essence was condensed like liquid essence, its quality more than ten times that of Qi Sea Realm!

The techniques used were also countless times stronger than those of Qi Sea Realm.

Su Qing was startled. Not to mention Qi Sea Realm Stage Three, even someone at the peak of Qi Sea Realm would be severely injured if they took this head-on.

She only knew that Chu Sheng's attack power was very strong, but she didn't know about his defense.

Fortunately, at this moment, the crackling sound of electricity could be heard.

Only then did she relax.

The purple lightning dragon broke through the torrent of True Essence and swung out another saber strike.

The terrifying green energy beam was like a world-splitting slash, descending directly towards Min Yue.

Boom—

The green ring on Min Yue's ring finger instantly exploded.

The green divine light vanished!

Min Yue's face changed drastically. She didn't understand how Chu Sheng had withstood that move.

Most importantly, in just two saber strikes, he had managed to destroy the Stage Four protective treasure, the Boulder Ring!

If this had landed on her, the consequences would have been unthinkable!

She had to end this in one move!

She secretly took out a talisman from her storage ring.

Taking advantage of Chu Sheng's next attack, she flicked the talisman out, and a strange purple divine light shot towards Chu Sheng's forehead.

Chaos Perception Talisman!

It could cause the target's consciousness to fall into brief confusion.

At the same time, she thrust her sword towards Chu Sheng's chest!

However, in the next second, something happened that made her disbelieve.

Chu Sheng's movements were not delayed in the slightest; the Pure Blade Heart allowed him to ignore all mental attacks.

To him, this sword strike was utterly clumsy.

He deflected the strike against the Cold Jade Sword.

Mountain-Shattering Divine Edge!

Clang——

The Cold Jade Sword instantly shattered, leaving only the hilt.

Chu Sheng's Azure Edge Blade also developed a crack and was on the verge of breaking completely.

After all, the difference in weapon grades was too significant.

The Cold Jade Sword was an exquisite item of Stage Three, and reaching this point was its limit.

Min Yue used the hilt to stab Chu Sheng's chest.

One might be able to kill someone with a hilt without a blade, but it was absolutely impossible to kill Chu Sheng with just the hilt.

"You——"

Min Yue's eyes widened. Just as she was about to speak, Chu Sheng punched her in the chest.

Puff——

Blood sprayed wildly. Her chest caved in, and several of Min Yue's ribs snapped instantly.

"Don't… don't hit me anymore, I surrender!"

Chu Sheng chuckled, "Surrender? When did the cost of crime become so low?"

"You resisted arrest earlier, and depending on the severity, you could be directly executed."

"Since you drew a weapon, I consider this the highest severity."

Upon hearing this, Min Yue's expression changed drastically.

"You dare!? I'm from the Min Family. If you kill me, the Min Family will—"

Boom——

Chu Sheng didn't give her a chance to speak and delivered another punch.

Her chest went from a plain to a valley.

Everyone around was stunned silent.

No one had expected Chu Sheng to defeat Min Yue.

Even fewer had expected Chu Sheng to actually want to kill her! And in front of so many people!

"Chu Sheng!" Su Qing shouted anxiously.

Chu Sheng ignored her completely. Min Yue had intended to kill him earlier.

This had crossed his bottom line.

If others wanted to kill him, why would he spare them!

Therefore, Min Yue had to die today!

He landed several more punches in quick succession.

Min Yue completely lost her breath and was casually tossed aside by Chu Sheng.

[Eliminated a notorious bandit]

[Justice Points +5000]

[Current Justice Points: 12600]

"Excellent, with this, I can advance three levels."

"There are still nearly 10 days until the college entrance examination. Perhaps I can reach the peak of the Qi Sea Realm before then."

"Uh, in that case, is there still a need to participate in the college entrance examination?"

Chu Sheng felt it was necessary to have a good talk with Long Liang.

After standing up, Chu Sheng swept his gaze across the silent crowd and said coldly, "This is the consequence of breaking the law. I hope you all take heed and do not violate it."

Although the surrounding people looked apprehensive, a small portion of them remained unconvinced.

Killing Min Yue shows your arrogance.

When the Min Family arrives later, your life will be uncertain!

Su Qing approached, her face filled with panic.

"Chu Sheng, you're too impulsive. Min Yue is dead. The Min Family will definitely send people. This mission can't be completed. Let's quickly return to Shengze City..."

"What's there to be afraid of!?"

Chu Sheng waved his hand. "No matter how many people the Min Family has, can they have more than our Jingwu Bureau?"

Su Qing was stunned. "What do you mean? Do you have really good connections at the Jingwu Bureau? But you only just arrived!"

"When you're out there, it's all about your background. Connections? What good are connections for!"

What people could come into contact with were, after all, only people from the same circles.

Small occasions might yield some effect, but when encountering major events, they were still useless.

At times like this, one had to rely on their background!

Afterward, Chu Sheng dialed Lu Huaimin's number.

"...That's what happened. I need support from the Bureau."

Su Qing's eyes went wide.

He was directly calling the Bureau Chief?!

And the Bureau Chief agreed so readily?!

What kind of background did he even have?

After hanging up the phone.

"Let's go. It takes a long time to get here from Shengze City. Let's go find that Gu Changge first."

At the entrance to the Abyssal Depths.

The guards had already fled.

The two of them directly took the elevator down to the bottom of the Abyssal Depths.

Just as they were searching for Gu Changge...

In Shengze City, at the Min Family.

Min Xiong stood in the center of the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below the steps.

In the courtyard, a total of twenty martial artists above the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm were gathered.

Every single one of them wore a look of murderous intent.

Such a force was enough to sweep through the vast majority of powers!

"To dare kill my sister, if I don't avenge this, I swear I'm not human!"

"Even Jesus couldn't stop me!"

"I said it!"
