All That Yapping—You're Really Taking My Leniency for Granted!

The fine rosewood roof of the carriage was smashed to pieces by a single blow of the mace.

Amid flying wood chips, the scene inside the carriage was laid bare before everyone.

The carriage was laid with expensive silk carpets and furnished with exquisite tables, chairs, and tea sets.

A demonically handsome young man sat with his robes open at the chest, holding a beautiful young woman dressed in luxurious garments.

Her cheeks were flushed as she leaned against his chest, her hands roaming freely over him, thoroughly enjoying herself.

But when the roof was torn away, both of them froze.

Before the demonically handsome youth could react, the young woman abruptly sprang from his arms and tugged at her clothing, covering his sharply defined chest muscles.

Only after doing all this did the young woman—Su Wanqing, the eldest daughter of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce—have the time to assess the situation.

With one glance, she locked onto Mu Yang, the closest person to her, whose Long Mace was still stained with blood.

She flew into a rage and immediately pointed at Mu Yang, berating him, "You brazen lunatic! Do you know who I am? How dare you smash my carriage!"

The demonically handsome youth slowly rose to his feet and stood quietly behind Su Wanqing. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly as he examined Mu Yang, who had attacked, and Lei Sai, who had blocked the road.

"My apologies, Miss Su. We failed in our escort duties. Please calm your anger!"

Head Escort Li came to his senses and immediately stepped between Mu Yang and the carriage, repeatedly apologizing.

Although the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce could not compare to their Pingwei Escort Agency, those in the escort business could offend anyone but their patrons. Once their reputation stank, they could forget about taking another escort job for the rest of their lives.

They could only consider switching careers and robbing escorts instead.

"Young Master Lei, you saw it yourself. There is no so-called demon in the carriage. Please move aside—we still have business to attend to!"

With things having escalated to this point, Head Escort Li could not be bothered with Lei Sai anymore. He merely gave a cold shout and drew his blade, pointing it at Mu Yang.

The other three escorts did the same.

Frightening the employer was already a grave dereliction of duty. If they failed to seize the attacker now, this escort job would have been for nothing.

"No, Head Escort Li, the demon is that..."

Lei Sai opened his mouth, still wanting to explain something to Head Escort Li.

But before he could finish, Mu Yang, who had just shattered the carriage roof, moved again.

Mu Yang stepped through the air, his body swift as lightning. Tremendous force surged wildly through the Black Gold Four-Edged Mace in his hand, striking straight at Head Escort Li, who stood in his path.

Head Escort Li seemingly had not expected Mu Yang to advance rather than retreat while facing their encirclement, much less launch the first attack.

Caught off guard, he could only raise his hand in haste.

He tried to use the strength of ten thousand jin in one arm to intercept Mu Yang's blow.

But in the next instant...

Bang!!!

The saber in Head Escort Li's hand and his head exploded together.

Everyone was stunned. Even Lei Sai revealed a trace of surprise.

With his cultivation at the Early Fourth-Stage Condensing Qi Realm, he believed that, bolstered by true qi, he could easily defeat Head Escort Li, who was merely at Third-Rank Perfection.

But if he had not seen wrongly, Mu Yang's strike just now had seemed to be pure, unadulterated strength.

This young constable was incredibly strong!

While Lei Sai and the escorts were still reeling in shock, Mu Yang's feet did not pause in the slightest.

To him, killing Head Escort Li was like stepping on an ant.

Without even a shred of hesitation, he stepped over Head Escort Li's headless corpse and charged straight toward the ruined carriage.

Su Wanqing, whose face had just been filled with fury, instantly turned pale with fright.

In contrast, the fair-skinned, handsome, demonically attractive youth standing behind her remained calm and composed.

When he saw Mu Yang charging at him, he clearly realized that he could no longer remain hidden.

He spread his palm and pressed it against Su Wanqing's back, giving her a light push.

Su Wanqing flew out of control, landing directly in Mu Yang's path.

"Not good!"

Lei Sai's expression changed when he saw this. He immediately pushed off the ground, intending to save Su Wanqing.

But Mu Yang reacted even faster. The violent Black Gold Four-Edged Mace in his hand became like the most agile fish, trembling slightly as it shed most of its force.

Smack!!

The Black Gold Four-Edged Mace struck Su Wanqing across the waist and abdomen, sending her flying to the side.

Under that exquisite control of force, aside from her stomach churning like rivers and seas and her backside swelling painfully upon landing, Su Wanqing did not end up torn apart like Head Escort Li.

"What incredible control over his strength!"

Lei Sai stopped in his tracks, his eyes lighting up.

As Lei Sai marveled, Mu Yang continued to exert force beneath his feet.

Apparently not expecting Mu Yang to have such a move, the demonically handsome youth was stunned for a moment before reacting.

He raised both arms. Pitch-black demonic qi enveloped them, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into thick, powerful arms covered in dark fur.

Long, broad, thick ears sprouted from both sides of his head.

He was unmistakably a Donkey Demon at Third-Rank Perfection.

At the instant the Donkey Demon returned to his true form, the Black Gold Four-Edged Mace in Mu Yang's hand had already swung down.

Splat!!

The Donkey Demon's thick arms, which he had been so proud of, burst apart like tender tofu. His enormous donkey head shattered along with them, scattering fragments all over the ground.

[ Current number of empty Equipment Slots: 4 ]

Mu Yang flicked his wrist, and flesh and blood splattered from the body of the Black Gold Four-Edged Mace onto the ground.

"This..."

The three remaining escorts looked at the massive headless Donkey Demon corpse, then at Head Escort Li and their companion, who had also lost their heads. Their minds instantly crashed.

Wait, there really was a demon?!

Su Wanqing, sitting on the ground with her backside throbbing in pain, also stared blankly at the Donkey Demon's corpse. Her face shifted from green to red.

It was not because she was frightened after the fact. She simply felt humiliated!

She, the treasured daughter of the president of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce, had been sent flying miserably and thrown to the ground. Worse, everyone now knew she had been deceived by a demon.

If word got out, how was she supposed to face anyone again?

It was all his fault. All this meddlesome constable's fault!

If he had not acted, things never would have reached this point!

"Move! Seize this constable!!" Su Wanqing shouted furiously, her face flushed red.

The escorts: ???

Lei Sai: ???

"Miss Su, why? This constable helped you kill the demon and even saved you!" Lei Sai was full of question marks.

He truly could not understand what Su Wanqing was saying.

It was not just him. Even the other three escorts were somewhat dumbfounded.

It was not that they were shocked by Su Wanqing's killing intent toward Mu Yang. They simply thought Su Wanqing might have something wrong with her brain.

Even Head Escort Li at Blood-Marrow Realm Perfection could not beat this constable. They were only at the Early Blood-Marrow Realm—how were they supposed to fight him?

"What are you still standing around for? Hurry up and attack! You're escorts—do you dare disobey me, your employer?" Seeing the three escorts standing still, Su Wanqing suddenly became hysterical.

Her bloodshot eyes looked as though they could devour people.

The three escorts looked at one another, helpless as men caught halfway through the act when the husband suddenly came home, forced to consider whether they could pull off a Spider-Man cosplay.

They had to obey their employer, but they truly could not defeat Mu Yang.

What were they supposed to do?

Just then, Lei Sai stepped forward.

"Wait!"

He stood in front of the three escorts, facing Su Wanqing as he said loudly, "Miss Su, I know you may find this hard to accept for the moment, but the person by your side was a demon. You saw the corpse yourself..."

"I don't care!!"

Su Wanqing cut Lei Sai off and continued shouting like a madwoman, "Move now, or I'll make sure you..."

Bang—!!!

Before Su Wanqing could finish shouting, the sound of a watermelon bursting rang out. The shrill clamor came to an abrupt stop.

"All that yapping. You're really taking my leniency for granted."

Mu Yang stood before Su Wanqing's headless body, his expression calm and his voice cold.

The escorts: !!!

Lei Sai: ???
