79: I'll let you know what's too much.

"Heh heh!"

Shen Xi wasn't buying it.

He knew very well why Chen Lei's attitude towards him had done a complete 180.

But if he didn't have the strength of Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi, and didn't have his current assets, what would his fate be?

Shen Xi didn't think Chen Lei would let him live; he probably would have, as the other party said, killed him in front of his parents, and then harmed his parents.

Moreover, just the act of Chen Lei threatening his parents alone meant the other party had already sealed his own death.

A Dragon has a reverse scale; touch it and you die.

Chen Lei had already touched his reverse scale.

"Are you done talking?"

Shen Xi asked back, cold and emotionless.

An invisible killing intent, undisguised, fell upon Chen Lei.

Gulp!

Chen Lei subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

He quickly said, "Although that was a misunderstanding just now, I offended you after all. As compensation, I'm willing to offer one hundred thousand yuan, is that acceptable?"

One hundred thousand!

In the Outer City, that was already a significant amount, not far from a family of three's annual income.

As a guard, even an Inner City guard, Chen Lei's monthly income was only two or three thousand yuan.

The other party was offering several months' worth of his salary, just to get Shen Xi to show mercy.

"Are you done talking?"

Shen Xi still repeated the same words.

This caused Chen Lei's expression to instantly turn gloomy.

He felt that he had already given Shen Xi enough Face, lowering his stance and apologizing; the other party should know when to let bygones be bygones.

But looking at the current situation, Shen Xi had no intention of letting things go easily!

This made Chen Lei's temper flare up uncontrollably.

No matter how exceptionally talented Shen Xi was, he hadn't fully grown yet, and he himself was an Inner City guard!

"Don't go too far, I've already apologized."

Chen Lei spoke with ill will.

Hearing this, Shen Xi sneered, "Too far? Then I'll show you what's even more over the top!"

Slap!

A crisp slap echoed.

The next second, Chen Lei flew out like a kite with a broken string.

This scene stunned the guards watching the commotion on the city wall.

They hadn't expected Shen Xi to be so decisive, striking directly without any hesitation.

And this was only the beginning.

Shen Xi, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, rushed directly to where Chen Lei had fallen.

He delivered a solid knee strike squarely to Chen Lei's abdomen.

Before the other party could even land, he was sent flying again.

"Ouch!"

Chen Lei couldn't bear the excruciating pain that felt like the world was turning upside down, and he vomited directly.

This scene was particularly spectacular.

After all, an adult man flying in mid-air, vomiting as he flew, essentially raining vomit, was a thought alone that made one nauseous and terrified.

"Is that all you've got?"

Shen Xi sneered coldly.

This guy really couldn't take a beating.

He hadn't even gotten serious, and the guy was already throwing up from the blows.

With such meager abilities, he dared to bully others by relying on his power?

It was simply a huge joke!

"You, you dare to lay hands on me, you're dead, those big figures in the Inner City won't let you off."

Having finally stopped vomiting, Chen Lei stammered, threatening Shen Xi.

Shen Xi shook his head helplessly, looking at the other party as if he were an idiot: "Your brain must be waterlogged. Your life is in my hands right now; instead of begging for mercy, you plan to threaten me? Don't you think, since I've already attacked you, I would still be afraid of getting into trouble?"

With that, a one-sided crushing began.

Shen Xi completely disregarded Chen Lei as a human, striking at the other party's vital points with every move.

In just a few short minutes, Chen Lei was already beaten beyond recognition, collapsing limply to the ground.

And even after Shen Xi stopped, not a single guard on the city wall dared to stand up for Chen Lei.

In fact, these guards began to worry about their own safety.

Chen Lei going down to deal with Shen Xi was all because they egged him on.

If Shen Xi were to blame them for this, all of them combined wouldn't be a match for Shen Xi alone.

"It was all a misunderstanding just now."

"We've long found Chen Lei an eyesore, that kind of scoundrel who bullies others by relying on his power."

"Thanks to your righteous action, you've eliminated a menace for our Twenty-eighth City."

"That's right, a bastard like Chen Lei, even if he's beaten to death, he deserves it."

The guards spoke one after another, expressing their stance.

They didn't want to follow in Chen Lei's footsteps and provoke Shen Xi.

To this, Shen Xi had no reaction whatsoever.

He didn't even bother to glance at the guards, and took his parents into the Inner City.

Speaking of which, he still had Chen Lei to thank; if the other party hadn't opened the city gate, Shen Xi would have had to go through some trouble.

After all, the Yuanqi Realm didn't have the ability to fly or escape underground, and even with a movement technique like Meteor Step, it was unlikely to climb over a city wall dozens of meters high.

After watching Shen Xi and his family of three leave, the guards breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken.

They had finally seen off this great god.

If Shen Xi had truly wanted to deal with them, none of them would have been able to escape.

After a while, someone finally asked cautiously, "Should we go down and see if Chen Lei is still alive?"

The guards then belatedly realized, and quickly descended the city wall, coming to Chen Lei's side.

The other party was now seriously injured and had fallen unconscious on the spot.

His life was saved, but lying in a hospital bed for ten days to half a month was unavoidable.

Just as the guards were preparing to carry Chen Lei to the hospital.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit happened to pass by the city gate.

Seeing the city gate wide open, his Face instantly turned gloomy.

Then seeing the guards carrying Chen Lei, his expression became even more solemn.

"What's going on with you all? Don't you know that the Inner City gate is absolutely not allowed to be opened during a beast tide outbreak?"

Recognizing the person asking, the guards didn't dare to breathe loudly, and subconsciously threw Chen Lei aside.

"Councilor, Councilor Zhao!"

Zhao Delong nodded, and questioned again, "What happened?"

The guards then recounted everything that had just happened, from beginning to end.

After listening, Zhao Delong's eyes were cold: "A mere Outer City resident, daring to be so presumptuous? Even if he got some Opportunity and can afford a house in the Inner City, he has no right to cause trouble in the Inner City!"

"Which direction did that young man you mentioned go?"

After a guard pointed him in the direction, Zhao Delong hurried after him.

He wanted to find that young man who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, and let him know that the Inner City was not the Outer City; no one could be presumptuous in the Inner City.

Especially a fellow with no power, no influence, and no status, he should especially keep his tail between his legs in the Inner City!
