When You're Out in the World, It's All About Connections

"Why don't you ask whether he feared me?"

The moment those words fell, everyone present was dumbfounded.

No, was True Essence Realm Second Layer even comparable to your Qi Sea Realm Third Layer!?

Everyone was deeply curious how this young man's brain was wired.

Just then, a voice as cold as frost rang out.

"What if I said I wasn't afraid!?"

The crowd ahead automatically parted, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman in a long green robe walking over slowly.

Min Yue, True Essence Realm Second Layer, and also the master of this stronghold.

"Great-Aunt!!"

The sleazy man shouted, "This brat is causing trouble on our turf! Hurry up and cripple him!"

Min Yue swept her gaze over the severely injured guards, her expression growing increasingly cold.

However, before she could speak.

Chu Sheng said coldly, "Harboring criminals and allowing your subordinates to set up a private torture chamber—you've broken the law too!"

"Oh? So what? Do you dare arrest me?"

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

A streak of lightning suddenly flashed.

The purple thunder dragon had already rushed before her.

"So fast!"

That was her first reaction. She had just turned aside to evade.

When a green blade aura came slashing at her waist.

The terrifying power made Min Yue lose her composure completely.

Was this boy really only at Qi Sea Realm Third Layer?

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

With a boom.

Min Yue staggered several steps back, the green divine light rippling violently.

The force of that slash was in no way inferior to True Essence Realm Second Layer—if anything, it was even stronger.

Min Yue was utterly horrified. Since when had the Jingwu Bureau produced such a genius!?

This child was far too monstrous. And since he had already become enemies with the Min Family, he absolutely could not be allowed to live.

Seeing Chu Sheng attack again, Min Yue drew the Cold Jade Sword and immediately unleashed the low-grade Earth-rank martial skill, Vast Misty Waves.

A vast and terrifying torrent of true qi surged forth, instantly swallowing Chu Sheng whole.

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

In the True Essence Realm, true qi condensed as heavy as primordial liquid; its quality exceeded that of the Qi Sea Realm by more than tenfold!

The techniques they unleashed were also countless times stronger than those of the Qi Sea Realm.

Su Qing was startled. Even a Qi Sea Realm Third Layer cultivator would be severely injured by this move, and even a peak Qi Sea Realm cultivator would suffer heavily if they took it head-on.

She only knew that Chu Sheng's offensive power was strong, but she had no idea how strong his defenses were.

Fortunately, crackling electric currents rang out at that moment.

Only then did she finally let out the breath she had been holding.

The purple thunder dragon broke through the torrent of true qi, followed by another slash.

The terrifying green blade aura was like a strike that split open the heavens, chopping straight toward Min Yue.

Boom—

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

The green divine light vanished with it!

Min Yue's expression changed drastically. She could not understand how Chu Sheng had endured that attack.

More importantly, just two slashes had shattered the Stage Four defensive treasure, the Boulder Ring!

If that had struck her body, the consequences would have been unthinkable!

She had to settle this in one move!

She secretly took out a talisman from her Storage Ring.

The instant Chu Sheng attacked again, she flicked out the talisman. A strange purple divine light shot straight toward Chu Sheng's forehead.

Chaos Perception Talisman!

It could plunge the opponent's consciousness into temporary chaos.

At the same time, she thrust her sword toward Chu Sheng's heart!

However, the next second, a scene she found impossible to believe unfolded.

Chu Sheng's movements did not slow in the slightest. His Pure Blade Heart allowed him to ignore all mental attacks.

To him, this sword strike was simply clumsy beyond measure.

He slashed his blade against the Cold Jade Sword.

Mountain-Shattering Divine Edge!

Clang—

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

Cracks also spread across Chu Sheng's Azure Edge Blade, which looked ready to break completely.

In the end, the difference in weapon grades was simply too great.

The Cold Jade Sword was an exceptional weapon among Stage Three weapons. Reaching this point was already its limit.

Min Yue stabbed Chu Sheng's chest with the hilt.

Without a spearhead, one might still be able to kill someone.

But with only a sword hilt, she absolutely could not kill Chu Sheng.

"You—"

Min Yue widened her eyes and was just about to speak when Chu Sheng's fist smashed into her chest.

Pfft—

Blood sprayed wildly. Highlands turned into plains as several of Min Yue's ribs snapped instantly.

"Don't... don't hit me anymore. I surrender!"

Chu Sheng chuckled lightly. "Surrender? Since when had the cost of committing crimes become so low?"

"Just now, you resisted arrest. Depending on the severity, you can be executed on the spot."

"You even used a weapon. In my eyes, that's the highest degree of severity."

Min Yue's expression changed drastically at those words.

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

Boom—

Chu Sheng gave her no chance to continue, throwing another punch.

The plains became a valley.

Everyone around them was stunned senseless.

No one had expected Chu Sheng to defeat Min Yue.

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

"Chu Sheng!" Su Qing cried out anxiously.

Chu Sheng ignored her completely. Min Yue had wanted to kill him just now.

That had already crossed his bottom line.

When someone wanted to kill him, why would he leave that person alive!

Therefore, Min Yue had to die today!

Several more punches followed in succession.

Min Yue completely lost her breath, and Chu Sheng casually threw her onto the ground.

Eliminated a heinous bandit

Justice Points +5000

"Very good. This way, I can rise three levels in a row."

"There are still nearly ten days until the National College Entrance Examination. Perhaps I can reach the peak of the Qi Sea Realm before then."

"Uh, in that case, is there even any need for me to take the National College Entrance Examination?"

Chu Sheng felt that he needed to have a proper talk with Long Liang.

After getting up, Chu Sheng swept his gaze across the deathly silent crowd and said coldly.

"This is the consequence of breaking the law. I hope you take it as a warning and do not violate the law."

Although the people around them looked apprehensive, a small handful still dismissed it in their hearts.

Killing Min Yue made you proud and arrogant.

But once the Min Family arrived, whether you lived or died would be anyone's guess!

Su Qing stepped forward, her face full of panic.

"Chu Sheng, you were too impulsive. Now that Min Yue is dead, the Min Family will definitely send people. We can't continue this mission. Let's hurry back 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 froze. "What do you mean? Are you really well-connected in the Jingwu Bureau? But didn't you just arrive?"

"When you're out in the world, it's all about connections. What the hell is the use of being well-liked!"

The people one could come into contact with were nothing more than people from the same circle.

It might have some effect in small situations, but when faced with a major occasion, it was still useless.

At times like that, it came down to one's connections!

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 had directly called the bureau chief!?

And the bureau chief had agreed so readily!?

Just what kind of background did he have?

After hanging up.

"Let's go. It'll take them quite some time to get here from Shengze City. Let's first drag out that Gu Changge."

At the entrance to the Earth Abyss.

The guards had long since fled in all directions.

The two of them took the elevator directly down to the bottom of the Earth Abyss.

Just as they began searching for Gu Changge.

In Shengze City, at the Min Family estate.

Min Xiong stood in the center of the courtyard.

His gaze swept across everyone below the steps.

There were a total of twenty martial artists at Qi Sea Realm Fifth Layer or above in the courtyard.

Every single one had murder written all over their faces.

Such a lineup was enough to sweep aside the vast majority of forces!

"They dared kill my little sister. If I don't avenge this hatred, I swear I'm not human!"

"Even Jesus himself couldn't stop me!"

"I said it!"
