You're Really Getting Too Big for Your Boots!

The fine rosewood carriage roof was smashed to pieces by a single mace strike.

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

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

A bewitchingly handsome young man sat with his robe open, his arms around a beautiful young woman dressed in splendid garments.

The young woman's cheeks were flushed as she reclined in his arms, her hands roaming over him, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Yet when the roof was ripped away, both of them froze.

Before the bewitching young man could react, the young woman abruptly rose from his embrace, tugged at her clothes, and covered his sharply defined chest muscles.

Only after doing all that did the young woman—Su Wanqing, the eldest daughter of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce—have 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, scolding, "You brazen madman! Do you know who I am? How dare you smash my carriage!"

The bewitching young man slowly rose to his feet and stood quietly behind Su Wanqing. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly as he examined Mu Yang, who had struck, and Lei Sai, who had blocked the road.

"My apologies, Miss Su. We failed in our duty as escorts. Please calm your anger!"

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

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

They could only consider changing careers and robbing escorts instead.

"Young Master Lei, you saw it too. There is no Monster in the carriage at all. Please move aside—we still have business to attend to!"

With matters having reached this point, Head Escort Li could not be bothered with Lei Sai anymore. He 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 capture the attacker now, this escort job would have been for nothing.

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

Lei Sai opened his mouth, still intending 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 into the air, his figure flashing like lightning. Immense force surged violently through the Black Gold Four-Edged Mace in his hand as it smashed toward Head Escort Li, who stood in his way.

Head Escort Li clearly had not expected that, faced with their encirclement, Mu Yang would not retreat but advance—and even seize the initiative to attack first.

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

He tried to block Mu Yang's mace strike with the strength of one arm capable of lifting ten thousand catties.

But the next second...

"Bang!!!"

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

Everyone was stunned. Even Lei Sai showed a flicker of surprise.

With his cultivation at the early fourth stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, Lei Sai believed that with true qi enhancement, he could easily defeat Head Escort Li, who was merely at Third-Rank Perfection.

But if he had not seen wrongly, Mu Yang's attack just now had seemed to be nothing more than pure, unadulterated strength.

This young constable was monstrously strong!

While Lei Sai and the escorts stood astonished, Mu Yang's feet did not pause in the slightest.

Killing Head Escort Li was as insignificant to him as crushing an ant beneath his foot.

Without the faintest hesitation, he stepped over Head Escort Li's headless corpse and charged straight at the ruined carriage.

Su Wanqing, who had just been furious, instantly went pale with fright.

The bewitching young man behind her, pale-skinned and handsome, remained calm and composed instead.

When he saw Mu Yang charging toward him, he clearly realized that he could no longer hide.

He spread his palm, pressed it against Su Wanqing's back, and gave 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 Black Gold Four-Edged Mace, originally roaring with violent force, became as nimble as a swimming fish in his hand. With a slight tremble, 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 strength, Su Wanqing suffered nothing more than a churning stomach and a swollen backside from the fall. She was not blasted into pieces like Head Escort Li.

"What incredible control over force!"

Lei Sai stopped, 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 bewitching young man froze for a moment before reacting.

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

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

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

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

"Splurt!!"

The Donkey Demon's proud, muscular arms burst apart like tender tofu, and its enormous donkey head shattered with them, scattering fragments across the ground.

[Current number of empty Equipment Slots: 4]

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

"This..."

The three remaining escorts looked at the huge headless Donkey Demon corpse, then at Head Escort Li and their companion, who were likewise missing their heads. Their minds instantly crashed.

No, there really was a Monster?!

Su Wanqing, sitting on the ground with her backside aching, also stared blankly at the Donkey Demon's corpse. Her face shifted between green and red.

It was not because she was afraid after the fact, but because she felt humiliated!

She was the precious daughter of the president of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce, yet she had been sent flying and fallen disgracefully to the ground. Worse, everyone had learned that she had been deceived by a Monster.

If word got out, how could she ever face anyone again?

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

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

"Get moving! Take down this constable!!" Su Wanqing shouted furiously, her face flushed red.

The escorts: ???

Lei Sai: ???

"Miss Su, why? This constable brother helped you kill the Monster and even saved you!" Lei Sai was filled with question marks.

He genuinely could not understand what Su Wanqing was talking about.

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

They were not shocked by Su Wanqing's killing intent toward Mu Yang. They simply thought there might be something wrong with her head.

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

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

Her bloodshot eyes looked as though they could devour people.

The three escorts looked at one another, at a complete loss, like someone caught halfway through the deed when the other party's husband suddenly came home—forcing them to consider whether they could pull off a Spider-Man cosplay.

They had to obey the 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, faced Su Wanqing, and said loudly, "Miss Su, I know it may be hard for you to accept right now, but the person beside you was a Monster. You saw the corpse too..."

"I don't care!!"

Su Wanqing cut Lei Sai off and continued to scream like she had gone mad, "Attack now, or else I'll make sure you—"

"Bang—!!!"

Before Su Wanqing could finish shouting, a sound like a watermelon bursting rang out. The shrill noise came to an abrupt halt.

"You kept yapping and yapping. I really gave you too much face."

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

The escorts: !!!

Lei Sai: ???
