You're not worthy of knowing

The many spectators began discussing among themselves.

They had thought there would be a great battle. After all, a Dou Huang was not so easily killed, and in this region, a Dou Huang already counted as a powerhouse.

The power of heaven and earth summoned by the two during battle was enough to level an entire mountain, yet Deacon Hua had unexpectedly been blasted to death with just two punches.

A flicker of fascination passed through Cao Ying's beautiful eyes beneath her hood, especially at the savage, violent bearing Shen Wen displayed when he exerted his strength.

It reminded her of the exceptionally fit body hidden beneath Shen Wen's clothes, as well as those extraordinary muscle lines. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she could not help swallowing.

How domineering!

Her nature had always been flirtatious. Since childhood, countless men had surrounded her, each one exceptionally gentlemanly, since most of them were Alchemists.

Previously, she had thought Shen Wen was that sort of person as well.

Yet whether it was using Heavenly Flames as bait, his current violent demeanor, or even that forceful kiss not long ago—

All of it made Cao Ying immensely curious about this husband from a marriage of convenience, who was completely unlike the stereotypical image of Alchemists as refined and elegant.

"Sister Ying, Brother Shen Wen's physical strength is actually that powerful?" Dan Chen, standing beside her, was equally astonished. In her eyes, Shen Wen's Dou Qi cultivation had at most been high.

Coupled with his high Soul Realm, she had assumed Shen Wen would defeat that man through overwhelming Dou Qi cultivation.

But she had not expected it.

Such a direct, violent, even brutal method—he had forcibly torn open the man's chest and crushed his heart!

Meanwhile, Luo Xiaoyao, seeing the corpse lying on the ground in the distance, stood there with a blank expression, her face filled with terror.

"Dead... he's dead! Uncle Hua is dead!"

Luo Xiaoyao's face turned pale. The fear in her eyes could no longer be suppressed, and she let out a scream.

"Miss, Miss! Hurry and summon the Ancestor!" Deacon Liu endured the pain and shouted urgently.

What kind of monster was this? Without the slightest fluctuation of Dou Qi, he had actually killed Brother Hua with two punches!

A Physical Body Dou Huang?!

Luo Xiaoyao quickly came to her senses and took out a jade token from her Storage Ring, trembling as she crushed it.

The next moment.

A streak of gray light shot violently over from the city center, and a figure instantly appeared above the street.

His gaze swept over the scene. Upon seeing the miserably slain Deacon Hua, his brows tightened.

When the surrounding spectators saw Luo Cheng appear, cries of alarm immediately rose amid the discussion.

"The Luo Family Ancestor really came? This man is in trouble now. Even a Physical Body Dou Huang can't turn the skies upside down before a Dou Zong!"

"To dare kill someone from the Luo Family in Tianya City—how bold. He's going to suffer now!"

"It would have been fine if no one had died, but now a Deacon is dead. That old man Luo Cheng definitely won't let this go!"

The next moment.

"Grandfather, kill him! Kill him!" Seeing Luo Cheng appear, Luo Xiaoyao immediately shouted.

Luo Cheng carefully examined Shen Wen again. Seeing his almost youthful face, a trace of surprise flashed through his heart.

Such a young Dou Huang?

Since Luo Cheng had been able to manage such a large Tianya City, he was naturally no reckless man. Seeing such a young Dou Huang, who could even suppress Deacon Hua with two punches, his tone softened somewhat as he slowly said, "You all are unfamiliar faces. May I ask where you come from?"

Cao Ying took two steps forward, intending to reveal her identity as a member of the Cao Family. After all, this was a Dou Zong.

Even with the Guardian at her side, she feared that if things went wrong, this old bastard might hurt Shen Wen.

Yet after taking only two steps, Shen Wen grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him. Then he said flatly, "You're not worthy of knowing."

Luo Cheng's expression instantly darkened.

Having controlled Tianya City for so many years, a Five-Star Dou Zong like him was a figure of some standing even among several nearby cities.

Not to mention that most of those he received were Dou Zhe from remote regions. Who among them did not treat him with utmost respect and courtesy?

When had any junior ever bluntly told him that he was not worthy of knowing?

Yet even so, Luo Cheng had to force down his anger.

After all, an Eighteen Years Old Dou Huang was very likely at Dou Huang Peak. No matter how he looked at it, such a person could not have been nurtured by some minor faction.

"But since you killed a Dou Huang of my Luo Family, you must at least show some remorse."

Even for the Luo Family, losing a Dou Huang was a major loss.

Moreover, Deacon Hua had once followed him. Otherwise, Luo Cheng would not have sent him to protect his most beloved granddaughter.

"He brought it upon himself."

Shen Wen's voice was icy, and the spectators around them drew sharp breaths.

"Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant! He still dared to be this arrogant before a Dou Zong?"

"He must have an extraordinary background!"

"Who knows if he was just bluffing? Luo Cheng, on the other hand, seemed to have grown timid with age, so hesitant and cautious. Now that a Dou Huang of the Luo Family had died, he was still being so polite."

"Hehe, he was worried about offending someone he couldn't afford to offend!"

"What do you mean, someone he can't afford to offend? Do you really think any true big shot would come to such a remote place?"

Listening to the discussions around him, Luo Cheng did not get angry. He had long passed the age of losing his temper, but that was precisely the problem.

The Luo Family now had two Dou Huangs—one dead and one injured. If he let this matter go just because he feared the youth's background, it would deal a massive blow to the Luo Family's prestige.

Both the tangible and intangible losses would be enormous.

"Are you perhaps not taking this old man, a Five-Star Dou Zong, seriously enough?"

Luo Cheng's expression began to darken. In his view, he had already given the other side an out. If Shen Wen had a background, then he should hurry up and reveal it.

If the Luo Family could not afford to provoke him, everyone around would know, and they could part on good terms!

Yet this fellow refused to say anything.

"Let's fight. If you win, I'll tell you!" Shen Wen also wanted to test his own strength and see whether he could handle a Dou Zong.

"How truly arrogant!"

Upon hearing Shen Wen's words, Luo Cheng could no longer conceal the ugliness on his face. He was merely a petty Dou Huang, yet he actually dared challenge him.

If Luo Cheng gave him another out now, then forget the Luo Family.

Even Luo Cheng himself would lose all face.

"Today, this old man will teach you a proper lesson on behalf of your elders. On the Dou Qi Continent, the strong are revered!"

The next moment.

Luo Cheng grabbed with one hand, and Dou Qi instantly burst forth, forming a massive hand that shot toward Shen Wen and appeared before him in an instant.

A Dou Zong could already make preliminary use of Space Power. Instantly bringing a Dou Technique close to an enemy was merely a minor trick.

"Teach me on behalf of my Master? You're not qualified! But you got one thing right—on the Dou Qi Continent, the strong are revered!"

Shen Wen motioned for Cao Ying and the others to retreat. Facing a Dou Zong, he no longer concealed his cultivation. In the next instant, the cultivation of a Dou Huang Peak erupted from him.

It immediately drew exclamations from the surrounding spectators.

"That's at least the cultivation of a Dou Huang Peak, isn't it? His body-tempering Dou Technique killed a Dou Huang with two punches, and his Dou Qi cultivation is also at the Dou Huang Peak. Which major faction's prodigy is he?"

"No wonder he was so arrogant. With those two combined, he really might not fear the Luo Family!"

"But it's hard to say. That old fellow Luo Cheng was also a prodigy in his youth! If he had not stayed for his family and gone to Central Continent to make his mark, he might have had a chance to reach Dou Zun."

None of the spectators thought highly of Shen Wen. The gap between a Dou Zong and a Dou Huang was simply too vast. Even a Nine-Star Dou Huang would find it extremely difficult to fight back against a One-Star Dou Zong.

Not to mention that this was a Nine-Star Dou Huang against a Five-Star Dou Zong.

So what if his physical body was powerful? Space Power alone was enough to overwhelmingly crush anyone below the Dou Zong realm!
