I Am Not a Stud

A mocking laugh echoed from across the street, followed by a flicker of movement as the Path Clearing Envoy vanished, departing Great Meng City.

The master of Great Meng City had issued an eviction order, and even the Path Clearing Envoy, hailing from the Dragon Ascending Holy Sect, dared not linger.

Ascending Wu Rong's expression grew even gloomier; with the Path Clearing Envoy gone, their strength was further diminished, leaving them utterly unable to contend with Chen Bao.

"Do you take me for a dead man? Killing people on my turf—that deserves punishment."

Chen Bao's overbearing and unreasonable demeanor carried the momentum of someone rolling up their sleeves to wipe out the Ascending Wu Clan.

This terrified Ascending Wu Rong, causing his expression to change drastically as he retreated with his disciples.

"City Lord, this is a time when manpower is needed. Please, show some leniency."

A dignified and imposing voice arrived, and with a thunderous roar, one after another, Giant Warships flew into the sky—three in total.

The Giant Warships appeared in the sky, their blood energy surging and their presence oppressive.

The Grandmaster Mansion.

Seeing the Giant Warships, Liu Chengfeng and the others could not have been more familiar with them.

The person who had just spoken was also one of the Three Retinues of the Grandmaster Mansion: Young Master Ye.

From beginning to end, Young Master Ye had not shown his face, maintaining a high profile as he deployed troops and commanded generals, acting as a commander of ten thousand, aloof and looking down upon everyone.

"The Three Retinues of the Grandmaster Mansion."

Seeing the three warships, Chen Bao's expression tightened.

"The exotic beasts are gathering, and Great Meng City is in peril. Entrusted by His Majesty and under the orders of the Grand Marshal, I have been appointed as the commander-in-chief, leading the Three Retinues here to lend the City Lord a hand."

"Fine, much obliged."

Chen Bao let out a cold snort, accepting the statement with a sullen tone.

"The Three Retinues army shall guard the main city and protect the safety of the commoners, while the City Lord and his generals shall guard the city gates..."

"Ye Yitian, you just broke through to the third rank, what right do you have to order me around?"

Chen Bao had a fiery temper, and his expression changed instantly.

"City Lord, by the order of the Grand Marshal, I am in full charge. If the City Lord is dissatisfied, you may take it up with the Grand Marshal, or return to the Imperial Capital to appeal to His Majesty."

Young Master Ye of the Grandmaster Mansion, Ye Yitian, remained aloof and high above, still not showing his face.

Chen Bao's expression was extremely ugly.

Su Youqian, standing beside him, tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to hold his temper.

"I will send the Ascending Wu Clan to guard the city gates to assist the City Lord. Whoever kills an exotic beast, the true blood belongs to them."

"We shall certainly do our best."

Seeing a turning point, Ascending Wu Rong cupped his hands and led his experts straight toward the city outskirts.

Fighting exotic beasts was dangerous, but opposing Great Meng City was even more dangerous.

Not only was Chen Bao powerful, but the three retinues of the Grandmaster Mansion had also arrived; to be ignorant of the situation now would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

"Fourth Elder, you also lend me a hand."

Chen Bao was full of suppressed anger, calling out to the Fourth Elder.

"Let us go together."

The Fourth Elder called for Liu Chengfeng and the others to go and guard the city gates together.

During times of danger, Chen Bao had stood on his side, and now that Chen Bao needed help, the Fourth Elder would not refuse.

Outside the city, the garrison of Great Meng City had already built defenses, dug trenches, established defensive lines, set up grand formations... and constructed a large camp.

In the distance, the Great Meng Mountain was filled with heavy shadows as one tall exotic beast after another gathered, their beastly aura surging like a tidal wave.

"They are going to attack Great Meng City tonight, led by two king-level treasure beasts with eight thousand years of longevity."

Inside the camp.

Through his perception, Liu Chengfeng already knew the movements of the exotic beasts on Great Meng Mountain and informed Chen Bao.

Chen Bao looked at Liu Chengfeng strangely, wondering how he could be so clear about it.

"Our boy is a ten-thousand-year genius who knows exotic beasts like the back of his hand."

The Fourth Elder put in a good word for Liu Chengfeng; having one more ally meant having one more source of strength.

Chen Bao's expression was grave as he looked at Great Meng Mountain, then raised his head to gaze back into the city.

At this moment, the Giant Warships of the Grandmaster Mansion had already set up formations within the city, with the three ships each guarding a side, one of which hung high above Tiger Mound.

Chen Bao's expression was somewhat unsightly; the Giant Warship of the Grandmaster Mansion hovering directly over Tiger Mound was an act of disrespect.

"Is the Grandmaster Mansion here to help us, or do they have ulterior motives?"

Inside the camp, with no outsiders present and only their own people, the Fourth Elder spoke heart-to-heart with Chen Bao.

Chen Bao let out a cold snort.

"Where is the Old Ancestor?"

The Fourth Elder was also somewhat confused; the status of the Great Meng Su Family was no small matter, especially their ancestor, Lady Chen, who was one of the three strongest individuals in the Qiuchi Kingdom.

Given Lady Chen's temper, would she really tolerate people from the Grandmaster Mansion hanging over her head?

Chen Bao wanted to say something but hesitated, eventually letting out a sigh.

Liu Chengfeng, standing nearby, understood that Lady Chen could barely protect herself; she was busy suppressing She Tian and could not spare the effort.

"The Grand Marshal is likely harboring ill intentions. If things go south, he might seize the chance to remove my uncle. If anything happens to our ancestor, it would suit his plans perfectly."

"You talk too much."

Chen Bao glared at Su Youqian, clearly annoyed.

"If you went and married the Princess Ye, and produced a little fatty, the Grand Marshal's heart would be at ease. As for the Emperor, the ancestor would also have an answer for him."

Chen Bao was Lady Chen's nephew, while Su Youqian was her grandson and one of the future heirs to the throne.

Chen Bao wanted to reach out and discipline this playboy, but due to their status, he found it difficult to act.

"I'm not a stud pig, and besides, Princess Ye doesn't even look at me."

"With the Grand Marshal calling the shots and the Emperor backing him, whether she likes you or not, she has to marry you. It's just that you don't want to marry her."

Chen Bao knew full well that Su Youqian, this dissolute young master, had never intended to marry her, and since Lady Chen doted on him, the matter had simply been left unsettled.

The Grand Marshal's Ye Clan, of course, wanted to form an alliance with the royal family.

"Uncle Bao, you need to have a bit of humanity."

Su Youqian gave Chen Bao a gloomy look, leaving Chen Bao feeling helpless.

"Get back to the Capital City and let the Emperor discipline you."

This scared Su Youqian into shrinking his neck; he was terrified of the Emperor and would rather die than return.

"They're here. They're about to attack."

Liu Chengfeng had been keeping his eyes on the exotic beasts of Great Meng Mountain, and at this moment, he opened his eyes and warned everyone in a deep voice.

"Blow the horns. Prepare for battle."

Chen Bao stood up with a start and led his troops out.

"Don't run too far."

Although Chen Bao talked about disciplining Su Youqian, he was still very protective of him.

"We will follow closely; don't get separated."

The Fourth Elder led Liu Chengfeng and the others, following behind Chen Bao's iron brigade, as it was much safer that way.

On Great Meng Mountain, a massive number of exotic beasts had already gathered, and their terrifying bestial aura surged like a tidal wave, rushing toward Great Meng City.

Such a ferocious aura made the ordinary citizens and weak spirit cultivators within Great Meng City tremble uncontrollably.

Before Great Meng Mountain, thousands of exotic beasts had gathered, some with centuries of lifespan, others with millennia...

All the exotic beasts bared their fangs and brandished their claws, ready to charge and tear the entire Great Meng City apart.

Within the beast tide, two treasure beasts were the most massive, drawing everyone's attention.

One was a giant snake over eighty meters long, its scales shimmering with a cold, silver light.

It held its head high, flicking its venomous tongue and exhaling toxic mist, causing other exotic beasts to retreat in fear.

This was a Meng Snake King, a treasure beast with over eight thousand years of lifespan.

The other was a Wild Boar King, its body thirty to forty meters long, muscles bulging like a small mountain, its tusks like blades, ready to shred all life.

Seeing this Wild Boar King, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but think of Ah Yuan; could this be considered a distant relative of his?

Following a roar that shook the earth and mountains, dust and smoke billowed into the air.

With the two treasure beast kings giving the order, all the exotic beasts and treasure beasts roared and charged toward Great Meng City.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

The earth shook, sand and stones flew, trees were knocked over, and village houses were trampled to pieces as the entire horde of exotic beasts surged forward like a tidal wave, drowning the land.

"Kill—"

Chen Bao took the lead; his tall frame looked like an iron tower, and surrounded by light, he charged straight into the fray.

As a powerful expert at the Reception Fourth Rank, Chen Bao was truly formidable; when his full power erupted, his momentum was more ferocious than any of the exotic beasts.

Like a mountain, Chen Bao ignored the weaker beasts and charged into the thick of them, starting a massacre and cutting a bloody path by killing dozens of beasts in one go.

The armor Chen Bao wore was the Hunshan Ding Armor, forged from mid-grade pulse gold; it was incredibly tough and could not be harmed by ordinary swords.

"Earth Splitting—"

With a roar, Chen Bao clapped his palms together, heaving the earth upward; mud and stone flew, and over a dozen exotic beasts were tossed high into the air.

Before the beasts could land, he charged over, stomping and creating a shockwave, and with a loud "bang," he blasted a massive crater into the ground with himself at the center.

In one breath, he had slaughtered all the beasts around him.

"Too ferocious."

Chen Bao was so wild and domineering that Jiang Yu was left dumbstruck.

Chen Bao was unstoppable, causing the Wild Boar King, which had a lifespan of over eight thousand years, to let out a roar and charge toward him.

The Wild Boar King charged wildly, its tusks gleaming with thirty meters of cold light like two giant blades, hacking ferociously at Chen Bao.

"Well come—"

Chen Bao erupted in fury, roaring wildly as he activated his heart method to channel the power of the earth, thrusting both fists out like giant hammers.

The Earth Quaking Heart Method and the Mountain Collapsing Six Styles were both mid-grade Sage Scrolls from the Reception Divine Treasury.

The Earth Quaking Heart Method allowed Chen Bao to channel the power of the earth and soil, making him exceptionally formidable when fighting on foot.

"Kill—"

Liu Chengfeng also charged out, Thunder Sound Staff in hand, killing over a dozen exotic beasts aged seven or eight hundred years in one breath; he was incredibly fierce, drenched in blood.

He then set his sights on a treasure beast with a lifespan of two thousand years and engaged it in battle, roaring as he fought the beast to a standstill.

"Brother, you're too fierce."

Su Youqian, standing to the side, watched in a daze.

The Fourth Elder and the others were equally stunned; faced with an exotic beast over two thousand years old, none of them dared to fight it alone.

Yet Liu Chengfeng was fierce enough to take on a two-thousand-year treasure beast head-on, fighting until he was drenched in blood—some of it his own, some of it the beast's.

Liu Chengfeng fought with such ferocity that even when the treasure beast's horn pierced through his shoulder, causing blood to stream down, he didn't even frown, instead smashing his Thunder Sound Staff down with wild abandon.

During this bloody battle, the Innate Heart Method displayed its incomparable advantages.

Liu Chengfeng operated the Gold Knot Heart Method, and golden threads covered his entire body like a suit of golden armor, making it impossible for even the sharp horns of a two-thousand-year exotic beast to pierce his body instantly.

Though his shoulder had been pierced, the wound healed visibly to the naked eye under the healing effects of the Innate Heart Method.

"This guy is simply not human."

Su Youqian hid in the back fighting exotic beasts, clicking his tongue in amazement as he watched Liu Chengfeng's ferocity.

Su Youqian's strength was greater than Liu Chengfeng's, yet he himself dared not take on a two-thousand-year exotic beast.

Even the Fourth Elder, at the fourth stage of Treasure Mountain, wouldn't dare.

In terms of pure strength, Liu Chengfeng could not defeat a two-thousand-year exotic beast.

But with his Innate Heart Method and innate techniques, he could withstand the beast, growing fiercer the longer he fought.

Both sides were covered in wounds.

Liu Chengfeng grew more excited as he fought, beginning to suppress the two-thousand-year exotic beast.

The Innate Heart Method fortified his physical body and healed his wounds, while the divine blood within his Blood Sea Divine Treasury surged ceaselessly, providing Liu Chengfeng with an inexhaustible supply of blood energy.

In this way, Liu Chengfeng was like an unkillable cockroach with infinite firepower.

This bitter hand-to-hand combat allowed Liu Chengfeng to accumulate more practical experience; there was nothing better than a life-or-death struggle to improve one's strength.

The two-thousand-year exotic beast acted as if it had seen a ghost; at first, it had the upper hand and could suppress Liu Chengfeng.

Now, with more and more wounds on its body and its blood energy rapidly depleting, it began to weaken, allowing Liu Chengfeng to seize the advantage.

"Even if I were five hundred years younger, I wouldn't be able to be this fierce."

The Fourth Elder practiced a Sage Scroll technique and was known for having the best defense in the Cloud Rising Sect, yet even he wouldn't dare to be as reckless as Liu Chengfeng, fighting a two-thousand-year exotic beast alone.

"This is truly a genius; he's the real deal, he is."

As Chen Bao battled the Wild Boar King, he saw Liu Chengfeng's ferocity and couldn't help but praise him, realizing the Fourth Elder hadn't been exaggerating.

Such a fierce genius was indeed qualified to practice imperial techniques.
