110: What difference would it make if we killed the Zhen Tian Guards?

Qin Wushang, accompanied by Ye Hongfu and Lin Ziyao, had appeared at the entrance before anyone realized it.

He slowly retracted his fist, his eyes cold as he looked at Chu Qinglin, who was struggling and groaning on the ground, as if he were looking at a dead man.

Chu Qinglin stumbled to his feet from a pile of wood shards, feeling a searing pain in his back, his Qi and blood churning, and his dao palace world shaking violently.

The lackeys he had brought with him finally reacted, surrounding them in shock and anger.

"Who are you?! How dare you ambush our Young Master! Are you courting death?"

"Do you know what our leader's status is?"

Qin Wushang swept his gaze over them with indifference, as if looking at a swarm of buzzing flies.

He took a slow step forward, the invisible pressure forcing the young men to turn pale and retreat involuntarily.

Watching Qin Wushang approach step by step, fear finally welled up in Chu Qinglin's heart. He clutched his chest and stammered in panic,

"You... don't you dare! My father... my father is King Tianhai—Chu Tianhai! My father is Chu Tianhai!"

This name was enough to intimidate ninety-nine percent of the people in the imperial capital!

However!

"Slap!"

A crisp, resounding slap echoed through the air!

Qin Wushang's speed was beyond imagination; he fiercely struck Chu Qinglin across the left cheek!

"Chu Tianhai?"

He said, his tone indifferent and disdainful,

"What is that? I've never heard of him."

"You...!"

Chu Qinglin was struck so hard he saw stars, both his cheeks swelling up high. He was completely dumbfounded!

He couldn't believe that in the imperial capital, there was actually someone who wasn't intimidated by his father, King Tianhai!

Clutching his face, he pointed a trembling finger at Qin Wushang and screamed incoherently, "You... you actually dared to hit me! You're finished! Do you have any idea that you're finished!"

"No one in heaven or on earth can save you!"

"Slap!"

He was met with another resounding slap.

"I hit you, so what?"

Qin Wushang's eyes were indifferent, his voice calm.

"Ahhh—!"

The repeated humiliation caused Chu Qinglin to completely lose his reason, and he let out a beast-like roar.

His spiritual power erupted recklessly within him. Clenching his right fist, he gathered all his strength and smashed it toward Qin Wushang's face!

A Divine Fire Realm punch, earth-shaking!

However, this seemingly fierce punch landed on Qin Wushang's chest and only produced a dull thud.

"Boom!"

Qin Wushang's figure remained motionless; not even his robes stirred.

He was as hard as iron!

"How is this possible?"

Chu Qinglin felt as if his fist were about to shatter, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Qin Wushang couldn't be bothered to waste more words. He reached out with lightning speed and grabbed Chu Qinglin's right wrist.

"Crack!"

A sickening sound of breaking bones rang out clearly!

"Ah!"

Chu Qinglin let out a scream ten times more miserable than before. The bones in his entire right hand had been easily crushed by Qin Wushang, and his arm hung limply.

"You're just trash relying on the shadow of your father. What right do you have to bark in front of me?"

After saying this, Qin Wushang raised his foot and kicked, landing squarely on Chu Qinglin's lower abdomen, right at his Dantian!

"Pfft!"

Chu Qinglin flew backward, smashing through several tables.

"No—!"

Chu Qinglin let out a desperate roar!

It had cracked!

He could clearly feel that his dao palace world, which he had cultivated for many years, was covered in cracks.

The spiritual power gathered within leaked out like a flood through a broken dam, and his aura withered rapidly at a visible speed, his cultivation plummeting from the Divine Fire Realm!

"You... you actually dared to cripple me! You damned bastard! No matter who you are, Prince Tianhai's Residence will never let you go!"

"I want you to die! I want your entire family to die!"

"Not only do I want you to die, but I'm going to have my way with them, and I'll do it right in front of your eyes! Ahhh!"

Chu Qinglin curled up on the ground, looking up at the three of them, and shouted with extreme malice.

Xia He, who was standing to the side, turned pale as a sheet upon hearing these words. She stepped forward and said to Qin Wushang,

"Young Master! We're finished! Although his talent is poor, his mother is King Tianhai's primary wife, and she is extremely favored!"

"You've crippled him, so Prince Tianhai's Residence will definitely not let this go! Even if the Princess were here..."

The remaining young men were also trembling all over. Pointing at Qin Wushang, they stammered, "You... you're finished! You actually dared to cripple the Young Master... you..."

Qin Wushang's eyes turned cold. He took a step forward, not even using any Divine Ability, and simply swept his gaze across them!

"Pfft! Pfft!"

A blood hole instantly appeared in the center of the foreheads of the two youths who had been clamoring the loudest. Their eyes glazed over, and they fell straight to the ground, lifeless.

Chu Qinglin, lying on the ground, also lost his vitality and stopped moving.

"So what if I killed them?"

Qin Wushang's voice was calmly chilling.

The remaining men were terrified out of their wits, Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. They all knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"Spare us! Sir, please spare our lives!"

"This has nothing to do with us! We were all ordered here by Chu Qinglin!"

"We were just tagging along for the fun. Please, just treat us like a fart and let us go!"

Qin Wushang looked at them with an indifferent expression.

With his back to the entrance of Wangyou Inn, he said in a clear voice, "You people outside, since you've arrived, why not come in?"

"Are you afraid?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the clanking of armor sounded. A squad of soldiers wearing standard-issue black armor rushed in and surrounded the scene.

"The Heaven-Suppressing Guards! We're finished!"

"We're finished!"

Xia He's legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.

The Heaven-Suppressing Guards were the guardians of order in the imperial city, directly under the command of Her Majesty the Empress, and were not subject to anyone else's jurisdiction!

They were the law of the imperial city; even their Princess had no authority before them.

The young general leading them had a resolute face and sharp eyes that locked onto Qin Wushang.

"You are incredibly bold! To commit violence in public within the imperial city and even cripple the Second Young Master Chu!"

"Do you know who he is?"

Qin Wushang stood with his hands behind his back, calmly meeting his gaze, and asked in return, "Then do you know who I am?"

Ye Tao's eyes sharpened as he shouted, "I don't care who you are! At the feet of the Emperor, to trample on the law like this and kill the legitimate son of King Tianhai—no matter what your background is, King Tianhai will never let you go! You're finished!"

Qin Wushang shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a trace of mockery.

"You shouldn't speak like that."

Ye Tao snorted coldly, and the powerful pressure of the Heavenly God Realm erupted from his body, attempting to intimidate Qin Wushang.

"I am Ye Tao, Commander of the Heaven-Suppressing Guards!"

"I act in accordance with the law! You crippled him, and the evidence is conclusive. It's too late to say anything now!"

"Men, take him down!"

"Bang!"

As several men rushed forward, Qin Wushang released a burst of aura, sending them flying.

At the same time, he threw a punch!

This punch was simple and direct, yet it contained the terrifying power to collapse mountains and split rocks, aiming straight for Ye Tao's face!

"Insolent!"

Ye Tao did not expect that the other party would dare to take the initiative to attack the Heaven-Suppressing Guards. Shocked and angry, he also threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The two fists collided with a dull, thunderous boom. Violent shockwaves spread out from the center, sending everyone nearby flying once again!

The Void Realm twisted and then cracked, emitting a sound like thunder!

Ye Tao's figure swayed, and he had to take three full steps back to stabilize himself!

Ye Tao's face was filled with shock, and he exclaimed, "Divine Fire Realm?"

"You are only in the Divine Fire Realm, how can you possess such power? Who exactly are you?"

Just then, Lin Ziyao, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, stepped forward. She flipped her jade hand, and a purple-gold token engraved with the totem of a fierce tiger appeared in her hand.

She held the token up before Ye Tao and shouted coldly,

"Take your men and get out, now!"

When Ye Tao's gaze touched the token, his whole body shuddered, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"The Tiger-Slaying Token of the Southern Suppression General's Residence!"

"You are from the Southern Suppression General's Residence?"

Lin Ziyao shouted again, her tone brooking no doubt.

"Get out!"

Ye Tao's expression shifted rapidly, his heart churning with tumultuous waves.

The Southern Suppression General, Lin Zhan, held immense power and commanded a massive army; even Prince Tianhai's Residence had to fear him to some extent.

He hadn't expected this matter to involve the Lin family!

However, as the Commander of the Heaven-Suppressing Guards, he could not simply retreat in the public eye. He could only bite the bullet and say,

"Young Miss Lin! Even if you are from the Southern Suppression General's Residence, injuring people in public within the imperial city and violating the law... you must still follow the rules!"

"Please accompany us to the Heaven-Suppressing Mansion to undergo an investigation!"

Qin Wushang heard this and smiled faintly. "If we refuse to go, what will you do?"

Ye Tao's face was as gloomy as water!

He stepped back, his eyes fixed on Qin Wushang.

"Refuse to go?"

"Hmph! I hope you won't regret this! Someone will come to invite you personally later!"

With that, he waved his hand and left with the Heaven-Suppressing Guards!

With a thought, Qin Wushang summoned the wine immortal pot, which flew out and directly collected Chu Qinglin's corpse inside.
