108: Next time you sneak attack, use all your strength

Jinlu City took a step and arrived in front of Jiang Chen.

He raised his hand and was about to slap Jiang Chen.

Since Jiang Chen could cut through the mess quickly, Jinlu City could do the same.

"Stop!"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to cripple Jinlu City, he heard Li Tianheng's voice from afar.

If a Vice Director of the Holy Martial Bureau were to be killed on Li Tianheng's territory, it would likely be a troublesome matter.

Jiang Chen wanted to deal with the Jin family, but he didn't want to implicate others.

He immediately let out a cold snort.

He released his Profound Gold Body.

With a hum.

Body Tempering Qi rapidly swirled around Jiang Chen, forming a powerful defensive Qi field.

Jinlu City ignored Li Tianheng's voice and still angrily slapped down.

However, when his palm struck Jiang Chen's Qi field, he suddenly trembled.

The mere force of the rebound instantly sent Jinlu City reeling back.

Thud, thud, thud!

He retreated several steps and only managed to steady himself with the support of the Holy Martial Guards who rushed over from behind.

At this moment, a cold glint shot from Jinlu City's eyes.

A tempestuous wave surged in his heart.

This kid's cultivation!

Jinlu City had already investigated Jiang Chen's background thoroughly.

Although he had some achievements, he didn't have a significant background.

The Demon Suppressing Envoy token in his hand also came from Wang Fusheng.

But Wang Fusheng was now struggling to protect himself, and it wouldn't be long before his Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppressing Envoy title was revoked. He couldn't protect Jiang Chen at all, so Jinlu City had no fear of Jiang Chen.

However, when he tried to take down Jiang Chen just now, he didn't expect to suffer a loss.

At this moment, Li Tianheng's figure descended, and a powerful Qi field was released.

It awed the entire scene.

Lu Qian, Chu Yun, and others also came forward.

When Chu Yun saw that the person involved was Jiang Chen, her heart was immediately startled. What new trick was this Jinlu City up to?

But fortunately, it wasn't Jiang Chen who was in trouble, but another person, Jin Baoguang.

Of course, Chu Yun also saw Shen Lingshu, who was slumped on the ground, seemingly having suffered humiliation.

Exchanging glances with Lu Qian, the two roughly understood what had happened.

Chu Yun also very straightforwardly stepped forward, took a long robe from her Storage Ring, and draped it over Shen Lingshu.

She helped Shen Lingshu to her feet.

"How are you? Are you not injured?"

"Thank you, Lord, I'm fine... Lord Jiang acted to save me, Lord Jiang is a good person."

Shen Lingshu was also a bit confused at this moment. She didn't know Jiang Chen's identity or status, but she knew how terrifying the strength and status of the person who had just acted was, and even Li Tianheng, the highest commander in the camp, had appeared. The situation was completely out of control now.

It exceeded Shen Lingshu's imagination.

The only way to resolve the situation now was to resist to the end.

Of course, this was also the truth.

It was just a slight exaggeration of the process.

Jinlu City gestured to the Holy Martial Guards nearby.

Immediately, the Holy Martial Guards began to drive away some of the onlookers.

"Jiang Chen, how dare you publicly murder a court official!"

Jinlu City stared at Jiang Chen with a sinister expression, like a venomous snake.

However, Jiang Chen remained calm, instead looking at Jinlu City with a hint of mockery.

"Master Jin, next time you want to ambush someone, use your full strength. Your palm strike was too weak."

Jinlu City's face immediately became extremely ugly.

In front of so many of his subordinates and other people, he dared to openly mock his weak strength.

Although that move just now indeed didn't cause Jiang Chen any harm, if you were to bring this matter up publicly, it would make Jinlu City lose face.

He attacked someone else, but ended up being repelled himself.

After speaking, Jiang Chen ignored Jinlu City and instead turned to bow to Li Tianheng and Lu Qian.

At the same time, he reported what had just happened.

"Oh? Is that so?"

A gleam flashed in Li Tianheng's eyes, and he gestured. Soon, several patrol guards entered the tent and carried out the two corpses of the Holy Martial Guards.

"Master Jin, why are your Holy Martial Bureau people appearing in the logistics female soldiers' tent in the middle of the night?"

When Jinlu City saw the two, he immediately cursed them as fools.

Military camps were heavily guarded, and one couldn't just wander around casually. It wasn't like being in the city where you could go wherever you pleased; even going anywhere required reporting to a superior.

At this moment, Jinlu City could only roll his eyes.

"This matter has nothing to do with the Holy Martial Bureau; it was their personal conduct."

"If you want to know, you can ask them!"

Jinlu City said ungraciously.

"These two trespassed into the military camp, so their deaths are justifiable."

"Commander Li, you wouldn't not know that the person Jiang Chen just killed was my nephew, would you?"

Before Li Tianheng could speak.

Chu Yun, who was at the side, spoke first.

"Master Jin is overthinking. Never mind if he's your nephew; even if he were your own father, it wouldn't be your place to interfere."

"He is a Black Yamen member. Whether Jiang Chen made a mistake in killing him, the Black Yamen will investigate thoroughly."

"If you have spare time, you might as well go and clearly calculate the military merits first."

Chu Yun's sharp words surprised everyone.

They didn't expect Chu Yun to directly retort so forcefully.

However, what she said was indeed reasonable.

Even Lu Qian secretly gave Chu Yun a thumbs up.

"That's right, the Black Yamen's matters are not for the Holy Martial Bureau to worry about, especially since this happened in the military camp."

"Of course, if Master Jin wishes to interfere, please first obtain a permit from our Commander."

"Otherwise, it's better for us to follow the rules, lest someone gossips."

Lu Qian also said lightly.

Her voice was soft, but it carried strong energy.

Jin Baoguang was originally an instructor in the Black Yamen's reserve, so he naturally fell under the Black Yamen's jurisdiction.

If your Holy Martial Bureau were to interfere, that would be overstepping your authority.

It would be like if someone from your Holy Martial Bureau died, and the Black Yamen came to investigate; your Holy Martial Bureau would likewise not agree.

"Haha, Master Jin, rest assured, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."

Li Tianheng stepped in to mediate at this moment.

He naturally didn't like being aligned with the Holy Martial Bureau, but he couldn't show it too obviously.

After all, officially, the Holy Martial Bureau still held an advantage over their local garrison army.

Shen Lingshu blinked, looking at Jiang Chen with curiosity.

Although her cultivation wasn't high, she wasn't stupid. These military bigwigs were all speaking up for Jiang Chen and backing him.

How long had it been since they last met, and Jiang Chen was already doing so well?

"Good, very good!"

"Jiang Chen, you disregard the law and act recklessly."

"I'll see how long the Black Yamen can protect you!"

Jinlu City flicked his sleeve and left in a rage.

A bunch of ants, trying to turn the world upside down!

A fierce cold light flashed in Jinlu City's eyes. Since you want to play, this official will play along with you properly!
