Since the controller was willing to step in and resolve this matter, that was for the best. Cain knew a bit about Sun Fei's strength and knew that no one in the entire Deren City was a match for the controller, so he wasn't worried at all. He turned around and quietly gave a few orders. The crew and experts of the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] responded enthusiastically, parted the crowd, and blocked all the escape routes, including the doors and windows of the hall.
The time to finally hold our heads high has come.
Although Supervisor Cain has always been a master strategist and rarely makes mistakes, he has always lacked a certain domineering presence. Faced with the aggressive behavior of [ Edge-Washing Shop ] recently, he has always been accommodating and yielding, which is too cowardly. But now, this young powerhouse with white robes and black hair, even if we don't know his background, his arrogant and domineering style gives everyone on [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] a feeling of exhilaration.
By this time, everyone could see that Sun Fei's position on the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] was even above that of the supervisor, Solomon Cain. Many people were already speculating that this young man in white robes and black hair must be the elusive behind-the-scenes boss of the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ].
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, leaving the bald and gaunt Glazer in a rather awkward position.
"This... Hehe, young brother, why make such a fuss? If we alarm the city lord and he sends in the army, it won't look good for anyone. Today's events were reckless on our part [ Edge-Washing Shop ], and we will compensate [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] for all its losses. How about we just let this matter rest?"
Glazer was furious, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger and give in for the time being.
He knew when to be arrogant and when to play the subservient role. For this old fox, face was worthless. Having survived for so long in this cold, lawless world, he had long understood these principles. This suddenly appearing young expert was not someone his men could handle. He might as well play the subservient role for a while, go back and plan carefully. He would get back all the humiliation he had suffered, with interest, sooner or later.
To everyone's surprise, Sun Fei didn't even glance at him.
That dismissive expression was clear even to the onlookers: Who do you think you are? You're not even qualified to talk to me. I can't be bothered with you. This scene made everyone burst out laughing. Glazer was a local tyrant in Deren City and not very popular. Today, they finally saw him get his comeuppance, and those who had been bullied by him before were extremely excited.
Glazer swallowed his anger and blood, his face changing rapidly, turning from pale to red. He wanted nothing more than to tear Sun Fei to pieces, but in the end, he still had to force a smile and dared not show any dissatisfaction.
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle.
"Ah... Roar!" The burly man behind Glazer, whose figure resembled Giant, finally couldn't hold back any longer and roared.
His Six-Star Class Dou Qi, running at its peak, enveloped his massive body like a burning flame. He casually grabbed a weapon that had fallen to the ground, and with a soft "poof," the refined steel instantly turned into molten black and red iron, which fell to the ground emitting blue smoke and burning black holes into the Rock floor.
This horrifying scene caused everyone around to gasp in shock. For most ordinary people and low-level martial artists, this visible power seemed to be even more terrifying than Sun Fei's invisible pressure.
The burly man, recalling everything that had happened last night, grinned defiantly and said, "Lord Glazer is willing to reconcile, consider yourself lucky. What's with the arrogance? I've seen plenty of people more arrogant than you, and in the end, they all ended up in jail, had their tendons pulled out, and their genitals cut off, like dogs, wishing for death but unable to live. If you don't want to die a horrible death, get out of the way. Let's call it even for today, hmph!"
Sun Fei finally glanced at the burly man and gently shook his head. "What a pity."
The burly man was taken aback, confused. "What's a pity?"
"It's a pity you possess the strength of a powerful warrior, yet lack the dignity befitting one. With Six-Star Class Dou Qi, you could be considered a strong martial artist. Even if you couldn't use it for righteous chivalry, being a mercenary who earns a living through strength would be worthy of respect. Instead, you willingly degraded yourself, becoming an accomplice to evil, following a vile and despicable creature. What a waste!"
"You... you're courting death!" The burly man roared in fury, his Big Hand flashing as he reached for Sun Fei's neck.
Allen Peggy and several female sales assistants who had recovered from their shock immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Sun Fei smiled slightly, opened his mouth, and gently blew.
Suddenly, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
Everyone stared in disbelief as the terrifying flames burning on the Six-Star Class strong man's body—flames that could instantly melt even the most refined Vajra—suddenly became incredibly fragile, like a candle in the wind, completely extinguished by the young man in white robes and black hair with a single breath, leaving not a trace.
The burly man's massive body stiffened slightly, then he was involuntarily blown three or four meters away by the breath, crashing heavily next to the hook-nosed [ One Finger Burns a City ] kneeling on the ground. After a moment of stunned silence, he howled in agony like a pig being slaughtered. "Ah, no, ahhh, my Dou Qi, why can't I feel my Dou Qi anymore... You, you're so cruel! You shattered my Dou Qi Star Vortex, you destroyed my Dou Qi!"
The burly man struggled frantically to stand up, but it was as if his tendons had been pulled out; he couldn't even crawl.
Everyone gasped in astonishment, their mouths agape; the sound of saliva dripping onto the ground was audible. What they were witnessing was beyond their wildest imaginations. A mere breath had utterly defeated and crippled a Six-Star Class expert capable of dominating an entire city?
Could this young man in white robes and black hair be a deity descended to earth?
After blowing out the last breath, Sun Fei said calmly, "Since you've wasted your Six-Star Class Dou Qi like this, I'll help you take it back."
It was only then that Glazer truly felt fear.
The last vestige of revenge in his heart vanished. He truly wished he hadn't appeared on the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] today, wished that everything happening before his eyes was just a nightmare, that everything would disappear as soon as he opened his eyes. Unfortunately, it was no use; the nightmare continued. The white-robed, black-haired young man before him possessed extraordinary strength, ruthless methods, and a deep mind. Glazer knew that this time he had truly provoked a peerless master he couldn't afford to offend. Not only could he not afford to offend him, but even if Lord Henry himself came, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
The extent of a master's strength—someone who could cripple Six-Star Class expert with a mere breath—was unknown to Glazer, who was unfamiliar with martial arts. But even if he were to deduce it from the bottom of his heart, he knew that at least no one in Deren City had yet been born who could afford to offend such a master.
At this point, Glazer was actually not too keen on Lord Henry arriving.
That greedy bastard is arrogant, cruel, and obsessed with saving face. Unlike me, he's not so flexible. If things get out of hand and I anger this super strong man, the entire Deren City will probably be stained with blood, and my life will probably be in danger.
But at that moment, a series of crisp, rhythmic clanging sounds of armor scraping against each other came from afar.
The crowd gasped in disbelief and receded like a receding tide.
Squads of soldiers in bright armor rushed in from all sides of the street, forming a red torrent that surrounded the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ]. Behind them came rows of cavalry, men and horses neighing, swords and spears raised high, their cold light gleaming, exuding an aura of iron and blood.
The officer who had been chased away by Sun Fei to fetch the city lord was no longer the cowardly man he had been. Now, he was dressed in magnificent magical armor, riding a white horse with high spirits, spurring his horse and shouting loudly as he led the cavalry.
"The City Lord has arrived! The City Lord has arrived!"
The officer shouted triumphantly.
He indeed managed to bring over Henry, the mastermind behind everything.
First update.
