"What brings you here?" Blood Wolf King Big Red Hong asked Xiao Tian in human language.
"It's nothing serious. Some fleas will come soon. Just have your men help collect the bodies."
"Okay." Big Red understood that Xiao Tian was about to kill someone.
Afterwards, Xiao Tian returned to the car and told the driver to go somewhere else.
Driver Little He was both excited and nervous. He knew he was on a mission. Although the city lord wouldn't tell him what the mission was, as a driver, and especially the driver of the city lord of Luo Cheng, he knew this mission would definitely be confidential and very dangerous.
"It's such a joy to witness another battle between experts at the Shackle Realm!"
A moment later, as Xiao Tian instructed, the car stopped near a water source.
" Little He, unload the ingredients and barbecue grill from the trunk."
Upon hearing this, driver Little He hurriedly went to do it, opened the trunk, and exclaimed in surprise.
A barbecue grill, a huge pile of ingredients—they're going on a picnic!
Before the world changed drastically, picnicking would have been a perfectly normal outdoor recreational activity. But in this day and age, picnicking is practically suicide, attracting ferocious monsters to eat you and, incidentally, your food.
"Only our City Lord of Luo Cheng would dare to do this; no one else would dare."
The barbecue grill was set up, and soon the smoke rose into the sky, the aroma of grilled meat carried far on the wind.
In the distance, dozens of people dressed plainly but wearing masks approached at supersonic speed.
"Damn it! I just took a bite of my roasted banana and it's here!" Zhou Quan sensed the situation and turned his head, looking annoyed.
"It's okay, Fatty, you can keep eating. You don't need to appear anymore."
"How can that be? We're brothers, do you think I'd just stand by and watch?"
"No need, you take care of the driver Little He's safety," Xiao Deva Path.
"Fatty, you're too weak. You'll only make things worse. Just eat your food," Chu Feng said.
Zhou Quan was speechless at the contrast between the two people's high and low emotional intelligence.
"Hmph! Who do you think you are! Just wait until my horns blaze a little harder, and I'll stab a Shackle Realm to death for you all!"
The driver, Little He, was trembling with fear as he hid to the side. He realized that there were sixty-five people in total, and none of them were easy to deal with; they were at least at the Late Awakening Realm.
Xiao Tian and Chu Feng strolled forward slowly, voluntarily entering the Inside the Circle of those people.
" Xiao Tian, you're quite sensible."
"Those who are going to their deaths can get lost if they don't want to die. Our target is Xiao Tian."
Chu Feng laughed and said, " Xiao Tian is my brother. Only I can kill him; you can't."
"Huh? What the hell?" Xiao Tian couldn't help but kick Chu Feng.
Chu Feng, who had eaten a mess of mud and grass, turned pale. He immediately got up and was about to unleash a powerful punch on Xiao Tian. The wind was fierce and the thunder roared, but Xiao Tian's movements were strange and elusive. He successfully dodged the punches one after another and then, with lightning speed, delivered a soul-piercing blow to Chu Feng.
The sixty-five people were shocked that these two brothers had started fighting amongst themselves!
"Lord Zhou, what... what's going on?" Driver Little He was dumbfounded.
"It's nothing, just eating and fighting." The oblivious Zhou Quan didn't care at all.
Xiao Tian and Chu Feng were engrossed in their fight, and it was clear that they were getting really into it. The fighting was becoming increasingly intense and frenzied, causing more and more terrifying damage to the ground.
The sixty-five men couldn't help but retreat, intending to wait until the two of them were both severely injured before making any further moves.
" Xiao Tian, you think you can get away with this? Take this Invincible Samsara Creation and Destruction Fist!"
Sixty-five Evolver:??
"You dog! What kind of lousy punch is that! Take my Burial and Annihilation Samsara Kick!"
" The Boundless Creation Fist!"
" Primordial Hongmeng Annihilation Strike!"
The sixty-five Evolver found it increasingly outrageous, and were dumbfounded.
boom!
A large rock was shattered, and Chu Feng was forced back. Suddenly, he clapped his hands in the air at several of the sixty-five Evolver.
boom!
Suddenly, those Evolver felt an invisible, immense force sweep over their bodies, their internal organs exploded, blood gushed out, and their bodies were sent flying backward.
"Go! They're putting on an act!" The Masked Man, who was at the head of the group, turned ashen-faced with a ferocious look in his eyes, and fire snakes danced wildly between his hands.
" Xiao Tian, let's have a match!"
"Not interested."
Xiao Tian had no interest in playing games when it came to killing trash.
The strongest of these sixty-five Evolver were five experts at the Late Shackle Realm; the rest were just a rabble.
In less than a minute, all sixty-five Evolver were killed by Chu Feng and Xiao Tian, their bodies torn apart.
This was the first time that driver Little He had ever witnessed City Lord Xiao Tian's terrifying bloodthirstiness! Although he was also Evolver, the scenes he had seen in the past were all about Evolver and monsters killing each other. He had never seen so many bloody scenes of humans fighting and being killed.
"Young man, don't be afraid. If these bad apples don't die, they'll harm even more good people. Some bad people are more terrifying than monsters. At least not every monster wants to kill humans," Zhou Quan said patiently, glancing at the driver, Little He, as he ate his roasted corn.
"Lord Zhou, I understand." Driver Little He thought it made sense.
Inside the corpse, Xiao Tian and Chu Feng were spotless, as if they hadn't done anything.
"This is just an appetizer. If they die, the Jade Void Palace will not let you off the hook."
Xiao Tian glanced at Chu Feng and laughed, "You make it sound like Jade Void Palace would have let me go anyway."
"That's true. You've already got that reputation, and no matter how much you explain or try to clear yourself up later, it'll be useless," Chu Feng said jokingly.
Zhou Quan couldn't be bothered to listen to the conversations between the riddle solvers.
After finishing the barbecue, they cleaned up the food waste, leaving behind a group of corpses, and then drove away.
Before long, the Blood Wolf arrived and dragged the corpses back to base.
As Xiao Tian's car returned to Luo Cheng, in a large manor in the eastern part of Luo Cheng City, the people of the Jade Void Palace couldn't help but contact someone to go out of the city to capture Xiao Tian's companions.
"Elder, we can't get in touch with him."
"It seems they've all been executed," the elder said calmly, as if he had expected it.
"Elder, this city lord is powerful, I'm just wondering why he would send them to their deaths?"
The elder smiled and said, "Because there's a traitor among these people, since we can't find him, we'll deal with him all at once."
"Let's go to the city lord's mansion."
Inside the city lord's office.
Xiao Tian was clipping his nails. Across from him on the desk was Nangong Yanrou, and not far away on the sofa sat Luo Xue from the Biyou Palace. Chu Feng stood by the window where sunlight streamed in.
The atmosphere in the office was subtle.
" City Lord Xiao, why hasn't the show you promised started yet? We've been waiting for so long." Nangong Yanrou was getting impatient. Xiao Tian had never given her a friendly look, and now that he had suddenly contacted her and asked her to watch a show, she felt like he was just playing with her.
"What's the rush? The show's about to begin, and the people are almost here."
Xiao Tian put down the nail clippers, his gaze seemingly piercing through time and space, and saw the situation outside the office door.
Soon, the door was opened.
"Lord City Lord, people from the Jade Void Palace have come to visit."
Nangong Yanrou was surprised. Why were people from the Jade Void Palace here? Could it be that Xiao Tian did something when he left the city earlier?
A moment later, a handsome old man in a modern suit and a young man walked in.
Luo Xue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the old man.
" City Lord Xiao, I've heard so much about you."
Xiao Tian looked up with a displeased expression, put his legs on the edge of the desk, lay back in the boss's chair, and arrogantly sized up the old man from the Jade Void Palace.
"Old man, who the hell are you?"
Nangong Yanrou flushed red, and she almost burst out laughing, but thankfully she managed to hold it in.
The two people from the Jade Void Palace were stunned, not expecting Xiao Tian to be so outrageous.
"He's still young, after all; some achievements have made him arrogant and conceited. I am Xing Xiu, the Enforcement Elder of the Discipline Peak of the Jade Void Palace."
"Oh." Xiao Heavenly Eye, and said, " Elder Xing, please make your move."
Xing Xiu frowned, looking puzzled.
"Aren't you going to make a move? Outside the city, I, the city lord, have already killed sixty-five Evolver from your Jade Void Palace. Can you still hold back? It seems your skill in using others to do your dirty work isn't all that great."
Xiao Tian's words startled Nangong Yanrou and Luo Xue.
Elder Xing smiled as he sized up Xiao Tian Xiao Tian, finding him increasingly interesting.
"Since City Lord Xiao has admitted to killing so many Evolver from my Jade Void Palace, you should give my Jade Void Palace an explanation."
"An explanation? You believe me just because I say so? Do you have surveillance footage? Show me the evidence!"
Elder Xing sneered, " City Lord Xiao, don't try to play these tricks on me. If you don't give Jade Void Palace an explanation today, Jade Void Palace will absolutely not let you off the hook."
"That line sounds familiar, Fengzi, have you ever heard of it?" Xiao Tian Xiao.
"No." Chu Feng stood at the window, his eyes fixed on the sky sealed off by the mysterious vines from beyond the heavens, without turning his head.
"Oh dear, I remember now. I recall someone named Nangong saying something similar before, and then he flew away. Oh right, there are traces of repairs to the cave entrance over there. Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder which cave he flew from next."
Nangong Yanrou's face immediately turned sour. After all, Nangong Xiongye was a member of her family, and she felt ashamed that he had lost face.
Elder Xing's eyes narrowed, clearly angered.
" City Lord Xiao is arrogant and haughty; sooner or later you'll suffer the consequences."
"Oh, that's not a hardship you old man understand. If there's nothing else, then hurry up and get to work. If you don't, I'll take action."
Elder Xing sneered, "I am not Nangong Xiongye, City Lord Xiao, are you prepared to destroy the City Lord's Mansion?"
His eyes sharpened, his clothes rustled, and a faint golden glow enveloped his body.
"Destroy the City Lord's Mansion? You have no right to do so," Xiao Tian said disdainfully.
"Arrogant young brat! Today I'll teach you what it means to respect your elders!"
Elder Xing's arms were like long dragons, and his sudden attacks were as swift as lightning. His Dragon-Capturing Claw technique was masterful and his skill was extraordinary.
"Hmm? Afterimage?"
Elder Xing's expression changed.
boom!
Suddenly, the office was ripped open, a meteor streaked across the outside, and a huge crater was blasted into the deserted street a mile away from the city lord's mansion.
Inside the city lord's office.
"Practice makes perfect, Miss Nangong, why don't you give it a try?" Xiao Tian, who had easily sent the person flying, stared at Nangong Yanrou with a playful look in his eyes.
Nangong Yanrou was startled by the sight of him dismounting.
Elder Xing Jade Void Palace is a powerful elder with real authority. His strength is at the Peak Shackle Realm, making him a very powerful figure.
But they were completely defeated!
She was horrified, wondering if this city lord had reached the Half-Step Carefree Realm.
