Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1258

Chapter 1258: Forceful Suppression

w.a.n.g Feng seemed somewhat surprised at Xiao Chen remaining so rational and not doing something rash out of agitation. At the same time, he did not feel satisfied. If the other party did not make a mistake, there would not be a handle for him to grab. He said coldly, "This beast is too bold. Do you think that just apologizing will be fine? Break one of its wings as its punishment."

This was being unreasonable. Everyone of Heavenly Star Island was furious. w.a.n.g Feng was being completely unreasonable. If they broke the wing of a Holy Beast, it would be equal to crippling it.

Xiao Chen did not get angry. He went along with the other party and said, "You are right; there is nothing wrong with that. However, my Spirit Beast is mischievous. This is merely part of its character. In the end, I, the master, am the one in the wrong for failing to keep it in check. The one who should be punished should be me. In this case, I will take this strike for him."

Without giving w.a.n.g Feng a chance to react, a knife appeared in Xiao Chen's hand. "Pu ci!" He stabbed it into his chest, causing blood to spurt out.

As w.a.n.g Feng was rather close, the blood splattered his face. He retreated three steps in a fl.u.s.ter, somewhat startled into a stunned state.

How ruthless!

Seeing Xiao Chen's expression not changing at all, these words appeared in the minds of the Martial G.o.d Palace envoys. They were all shocked. Even that Martial Emperor showed a strange expression in his eyes.

"Investigation Elder, what do you think of this punishment?" Xiao Chen asked as he pulled out the b.l.o.o.d.y knife.

The blood on w.a.n.g Feng's face had not dried yet. He stared at Xiao Chen with horrified eyes. When he spoke to Xiao Chen, his voice quivered. "That's fine, that's fine. This matter is over. Let's speak about proper matters."

A murderous intent flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes as he shouted coldly, "Who said that this matter is over?"

"How is it not over?" For some reason, w.a.n.g Feng felt nervous and diffident when Xiao Chen glared at him.

Xiao Chen countered, "What did you just address me by?"

"Xiao Chen. What else can I address you by if not Xiao Chen?"

Xiao Chen answered coldly, "Address me as Xiao Chen? I have acc.u.mulated one million military merits and was conferred the Azure Dragon King personally by the Thunder Sovereign. Throughout the Martial G.o.d Palace, no one who has not advanced to Martial Emperor has the right to address me by my real name.

"Who gave you the courage to address me directly by my real name? Are you doubting the prestige of the Thunder Sovereign and not admitting my ident.i.ty as the Azure Dragon King? Or are you harboring malicious motives, conspiring to revolt? Speak!"

As Xiao Chen stepped forward, the murderous intent in his voice became heavier. His final shout made w.a.n.g Feng stumble as he took a step back.

w.a.n.g Feng's heart pounded wildly, and cold sweat ran down his back. His face paled.

"I was wrong in this matter, Azure Dragon King!"

w.a.n.g Feng struggled to get back to his feet, forced to apologize before Xiao Chen's strong aura.

"Do you think you can dismiss this matter with just an apology? This is not what you said earlier." Xiao Chen's expression did not ease.

w.a.n.g Feng raised his head and demanded in anger, "What do you want to do, then? Don't tell me you want me to break my arm?"

Xiao Chen replied coldly, "Since you want to go by the rules and make accusations of me, I will follow the rules as well. For the offense of disrespect, this King can follow the rules and kill you directly. You should be celebrating the fact that I only want to chop off one of your arms."

The moment Xiao Chen said that, the air seemed to solidify. Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to cut off this envoy's arm. This was incredible.

"Stop!" the Law Enforcement Hall's Elder Xing immediately shouted.

"Whoos.h.!.+"

A saber light flashed. Xiao Chen did not care about that cold shout at all. The moment the Lunar Shadow Saber left its sheath, it immediately chopped off the left arm of w.a.n.g Feng, whose momentum was at rock bottom.

"Ah!"

A pained shriek resounded as blood spurted out of w.a.n.g Feng's shoulder. He had not expected Xiao Chen to be so ruthless and bold as to directly chop off one of his arms.

As w.a.n.g Feng shrieked in pain, the envoys from the Martial G.o.d Palace were startled silly.

They only managed to react after a while. Then, they quickly picked up w.a.n.g Feng's arm and bandaged his wound. If dealt with in time, his arm could be reconnected without any difficulty. However, it would definitely suffer a great loss in flexibility.

"Unexpectedly, you really attacked!"

Elder Xing could no longer suppress his rage. He let out an overwhelming killing intent and moved towards Xiao Chen, his heavy Emperor's Might pressing down on him like a mountain.

As Elder Xing moved forward step by step, the atmosphere of the entire place tensed up. Lan Shaobai and the others all placed their hands on the hilts of their weapons.

None of them had a good impression of the Martial G.o.d Palace. Heavenly Star Island reached where it was gradually. Due to the management of the Three Holy Lands, not only did the Martial G.o.d Palace not offer any help, but they even secretly instigated problems.

Now, the Martial G.o.d Palace wanted to harvest the fruits without doing anything. None of these people who built up Heavenly Star Island would agree to it.

As for Xiao Chen, all the more it went without saying. The Three Holy Lands had already shed off all forms of cordiality with him. If not for the Three Holy Lands hiding their claws under the skin of the Martial G.o.d Palace, Xiao Chen would teach this group of people, who came to flaunt their might, an unforgettable lesson without showing any mercy. Just chopping off one of their arms was already going easy on them.

Xiao Chen did not show any fear as he watched Elder Xing walking over step by step. Instead, he stared at him head-on.

Elder Xing was just a First Heaven Martial Emperor. Xiao Chen did not care for this weak Emperor's Might.

"Based on the Martial G.o.d Palace's rules, I can kill you now for injuring an Investigation Inst.i.tution elder," Elder Xing enunciated every word carefully.

The Law Enforcement Hall was a department of the Martial G.o.d Palace that inspired fear. They handled traitors and had the right to kill before investigating. Their cruel and cold-blooded methods posed a great deterrence throughout the entire human race.

The Three Holy Masters had a big reason for sending a Law Enforcement Hall elder over this time—to suppress Xiao Chen and prevent him from being rash.

Who would have imagined that not only would Xiao Chen attack, but he would even do so in front of this elder, chopping off one of w.a.n.g Feng's arms? Elder Xing could not endure this at all. Since when did anyone have the courage to injure others in front of the Law Enforcement Hall?

Xiao Chen retorted coldly, "Rules? Who was the one who did not follow the rules and made accusations first? Who was the one who pointed at me and said to break one wing of my Spirit Beast? You are not fit to speak rules with me!"

Xiao Chen's words were as sharp as knives, cutting straight to the point. They left Elder Xing unable to make a reb.u.t.tal.

"I am a Law Enforcement Hall elder. I have the authority to kill before asking questions. Right now, I will kill you, a disgraceful traitor!" Elder Xing was now in a fl.u.s.ter. He prepared to attack, to show Xiao Chen what rules actually meant.

Rules were dead, but humans were alive. Being stronger was the true rule!

Xiao Chen stepped forward and snorted coldly. "You can try attacking. But first, take a look at where you are. Then think about who would die in the end!"

The entire upper echelon of Heavenly Star Island behind Xiao Chen—Lan Shaobai and the others—stepped forward while releasing their auras, pressing over.

What was this place? This was Heavenly Star Island, the conferred land of the Azure Dragon King himself.

With the crowd working together, their auras and their att.i.tudes immediately suppressed this Elder Xing, causing his actions to pause.

Elder Xing happened to notice a figure silently standing at an even farther place. However, when he tried to get a better look, he realized he could not find that person—as if that person had never appeared at all.

This startled Elder Xing. This time, he was truly frightened.

Heavenly Star Island was rife with hidden talents. The upper echelon of the island was also deeply loyal to Xiao Chen, all of one heart, possessing the courage to die for him.

"Elder Xing, never mind. This time, I was the one who disobeyed the rules first. We can't blame the Azure Dragon King. Let's talk about proper matters first." w.a.n.g Feng, whose wounds had been bandaged simply, admitted defeat after seeing that the situation was off.

Given a way out of this embarra.s.sing situation, Elder Xing snorted coldly and moved to the back.

The tense atmosphere eased. Mo Chen quickly went over to Xiao Chen and pulled the knife out in one breath before helping him bandage the wound.

"Is it painful?" Mo Chen felt a pang in her heart when she saw Xiao Chen's lips twitch.

This person was too ruthless—ruthless to himself and ruthless to his enemies.

Smiling, Xiao Chen replied, "It's fine. Actually, there's no need to bandage it. This wound will heal on its own after a while."

"What nonsense! That does not mean that you will not feel pain. I'll apply some medicine. That will lessen the pain, and it will heal faster too."

Mo Chen persisted. So, Xiao Chen could only helplessly accept as he smiled faintly.

After she bandaged his chest, Xiao Chen said, "Jin Lin, lead the way to the main hall of the City Lord's Residence."

After speaking, Xiao Chen brought the rest away first. Now, only the five Martial G.o.d Palace envoys and Jin Lin, who was to lead the way, remained around the transportation formation.

No one else bothered to give these envoys another look. No one wanted to see them.

Jin Lin glanced at w.a.n.g Feng's wound. Then, he smiled and said, "This way, please, One-Armed Hero!"

"You!"

w.a.n.g Feng noticed Jin Lin's mocking actions and gritted his teeth. To think that the person he looked down on earlier dared to mock him now!

Jin Lin smiled and said, "Sorry, I do not have a very good temper. This is the way I speak. If there is anything that upsets you, just bury it in your heart. After all, One-Armed Hero does not care about me at all."

After saying that, Jin Lin turned around and walked away, not caring whether this group of people followed or not.

"What an insufferable bully! If this fellow were in the Tianwu Domain, I would have crippled him in minutes." w.a.n.g Feng cursed. The minor character that he looked down on earlier actually lorded over him.

Elder Xing looked around, wary of a certain figure. When he heard w.a.n.g Feng's words, impatience flashed in his eyes. "This is Heavenly Star Island. Losing one arm serves you right for flaunting your might here."

"d.a.m.n…" w.a.n.g Feng cursed. From the very start, this mission was not proceeding smoothly. The negotiations later would be even harder to handle.

---

In the main hall of the City Lord's Residence, Xiao Chen sat in the host's seat in the center. Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai stood to his left and right, respectively. Seated at his right side were w.a.n.g Feng and Elder Xing.

w.a.n.g Feng currently had only one arm, so it was not convenient for him to sip tea. He only wanted to finish the mission the Three Holy Masters had handed him and leave quickly.

"I'll cut to the chase. Azure Dragon King, your conferred land still has not signed a contract with the Martial G.o.d Palace regarding the split in profits. This time, we are here to represent the Martial G.o.d Palace on this matter. After you sign the contract, we will leave."

Mo Chen received the contract that the other party handed over. Then, she whispered a few things into Xiao Chen's ears. He put down the teacup and smiled. "Interesting. Without doing anything at all, you want to take thirty percent of the profits. How shameless can you all be?"

w.a.n.g Feng no longer possessed the arrogance he had at first. He said, "The split in profits can be negotiated. Furthermore, we do not need to do anything in the first place. The words 'Martial G.o.d Palace' is sufficient."

Xiao Chen found this somewhat funny. "This is enough?"

w.a.n.g Feng said righteously, "Of course. With the Martial G.o.d Palace behind you, who dares to touch Heavenly Star Island. Just with these three words, each word is worth ten percent of the profits. Three words would be thirty percent. Of course, we are willing to compromise and take only ten percent of your Heavenly Star Island's profits."
