The wiry man’s Fist Force was ferocious as he charged straight at Chen Ping’an.
Standing behind Chen Ping’an, Zeng Jihe nearly cried out in alarm.
’Martial Arts Introduction!’
Though he had not entered the Martial Dao, he still had a discerning eye.
Not only had the man achieved Martial Arts Introduction, but his Qi Blood was also well-refined. It was highly likely he had even reached Perfection in the Qi Blood First Layer of Skin Refining!
Against an expert of this caliber, even Cheng Yuan—the only constable in their group who had achieved Martial Arts Introduction—would have a hard ti holding his own.
If that was the case for Cheng Yuan, what hope did Chen Ping’an have?
WHOOSH!
The force of the fist rushed toward him, about to slam into Chen Ping’an.
If this punch landed squarely, an ordinary person would be severely injured, if not killed!
Hmph!
Chen Ping’an snorted coldly.
’Since they’re acting so high and mighty, I’d better be ready for a fight.’
"Master Chen, watch out!"
Zeng Jihe’s warning had barely left his lips when Chen Ping’an’s leg shot out, sending the wiry man flying to the left.
THUD!
The wiry man’s body landed heavily on the ground, having been sent flying over ten feet.
Chen Ping’an had held back with that kick, deliberately displaying the power of the Martial Arts Second Layer.
’Even a martial arts genius has to reveal his talent gradually.’
SHING!
Chen Ping’an’s saber humd through the air, glinting with a cold light.
"You dare attack a constable? What audacity! In accordance with Daqian Law, I’ll carry out justice on the spot!"
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Chen Ping’an swung his saber, hacking down at the wiry man.
’Not good!’
This wiry man was no amateur. He rolled and scrambled back to his feet, snatching a nearby iron staff to parry the blows.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The sound of tal clashing against tal echoed through the room.
’Qi Blood Second Layer!’
Big Steel Fang’s gaze was sharp as lightning. As the two exchanged blows, he assessed Chen Ping’an’s martial arts strength, and his heart skipped a beat.
’So young, yet he’s already at the Qi Blood Second Layer of the Martial Arts Realm! Impossible without so kind of powerful backing!’
’If things keep developing this way, this constable is qualified to beco a Constable! With the right opportunities, he might even advance further!’
With this thought, Big Steel Fang completely dismissed the last shred of doubt in his mind.
By now, the fight in the room had reached its most intense stage. The wiry man’s Staff Technique was impressive, but against Chen Ping’an’s Small Success Level Public Door Thirteen Sabers, he was completely on the defensive, forced to do nothing but parry.
CLANG!
The man barely managed to block another saber strike. But the sheer force behind Chen Ping’an’s blow made the wiry man’s arms tremble.
The Public Door Thirteen Sabers is all about speed!
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!
The Sword Skill flowed like water, each strike of the saber a part of a relentless, unending torrent.
SQUELCH!
The wiry man from the Tiger Head Gang struggled to defend. As he transitioned between moves of his Staff Technique, he exposed an opening. Chen Ping’an’s saber struck his arm, and blood began to gush out.
With his arm injured, more and more flaws appeared in the wiry man’s Staff Technique. Against Chen Ping’an’s Public Door Thirteen Sabers, his disadvantage grew more apparent. He had several close calls, barely escaping with his life.
"Lord Official, please show rcy!"
Seeing things were going badly, Big Steel Fang repeatedly pleaded for him.
Chen Ping’an paid him no mind, the Saber Montum of his attacks only growing more ferocious.
SWOOSH!
Chen Ping’an leaped into the air, saber in hand, bringing it crashing down with imnse force.
The wiry man reacted in a panic, holding his staff with both hands and thrusting it upward to block.
CLANG!
With a great clash of weapons, the iron staff vibrated violently. The wiry man’s hands went numb and his arms grew weak. After barely blocking the strike, his iron staff tumbled to the ground.
BAM!
Just as the wiry man tried to retrieve his staff, a heavy kick slamd into his chest. He stumbled backward again and again until he hit the wall, which finally stopped his retreat.
Before he could even catch his breath, Chen Ping’an pressed his advantage, a cold glint of light accompanying his descending saber.
The wiry man’s scalp tingled, and the hair on his arms stood on end. In that mont between life and death, he twisted his body and dodged Chen Ping’an’s saber.
A deep gash appeared on the wall.
The first strike having missed, Chen Ping’an attacked again. The man struggled to react, barely managing to evade the second blow.
In this situation, Chen Ping’an could afford to miss countless tis, but the wiry man could not afford to make a single mistake. One slip-up, and he would beco another soul claid by the saber.
"Lord Ya, save !" On the brink of death, the wiry man could no longer afford to worry about his pride and scread for help.
"Lord Official, where you can spare a man, you should!"
Big Steel Fang shouted, intending to save his subordinate.
"Insulting my Garrison Commandant’s Office, daring to attack a constable, and violently resisting the law... the penalty is death!"
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
The Sword Skill was relentless, a continuous flurry of strikes. The wiry man was scared out of his wits, unleashing the full extent of the Martial Arts Realm he had spent years bitterly cultivating.
More and more gashes appeared on the wall, and his situation grew increasingly desperate.
Big Steel Fang could no longer sit still. His figure blurred as he shot toward Chen Ping’an.
’Now’s my chance!’
A vicious glint flashed through Chen Ping’an’s eyes, and the speed of his Sword Skill abruptly increased. He had been toying with the wiry man for this long for the sole purpose of luring Big Steel Fang into the trap.
The wiry man couldn’t dodge in ti, and the saber’s edge sliced right into his neck.
His skin, tough as thin leather, offered him no security.
With a sickening squelch, blood sprayed for five paces. A large head tumbled to the floor.
His eyes were wide open, unable to rest in peace.
At that very mont, Big Steel Fang arrived. He had intended to intervene and stop Chen Ping’an. But this sudden, grisly scene caused the rage in his heart to erupt uncontrollably.
"Xiao Zhong!"
Big Steel Fang’s eyes turned crimson. He drew back his arm, all his fury condensing into a single punch that he unleashed with explosive force.
’Here he cos!’
A glint in his eye, Chen Ping’an changed his Saber Montum, blocking with the flat of his blade to et Big Steel Fang’s punch head-on.
BOOM!
Big Steel Fang was a martial arts expert at the Qi Blood Third Layer, the Bone Strengthening Realm. In this realm, the sinews and muscles were interconnected, granting him terrifying power. The punch sent Chen Ping’an’s body slamming violently against the wall.
The wall, already ravaged by Chen Ping’an’s Sword Skill, was riddled with cuts and gashes. Under this powerful impact, it instantly gave way, exploding into a massive hole as bricks tumbled down.
Chen Ping’an’s body was sent flying out of the room.
Outside the room was the main hall of the Tiger Run Gambling Square, where a large number of patrons were gathered. The wall’s sudden destruction instantly drew everyone’s attention.
"It’s that constable from before! And... Big Steel Fang!"
"The wall is broken? Did Big Steel Fang do that? Hiss... Is he even human?"
"What’s going on? How did they end up fighting?"
"..."
Chen Ping’an clutched his chest, struggling to his feet. His eyes were locked on Big Steel Fang. He looked gravely injured, but in truth, he was completely unscathed.
Big Steel Fang’s punch had been buffered by the flat of his saber. Against his physique, which was at the Qi Blood Fourth Level Bone Forging Realm, and his Perfection Level Iron Cloth Shirt, it was like being tickled.
This was all part of his plan.
He hadn’t co to the Tiger Run Gambling Square just to collect the donation silver. He was here to establish his authority and make a na for himself!
"Big Steel Fang, you dare attack a constable!? What is the punishnt for such a cri!"
Chen Ping’an’s gaze was grim, his expression ice-cold.
