Chapter 716 Battle Of The Words.
Shi Lang's decapitating the Head guard's hand took everyone by storm. The guards behind him, Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan took out their swords. Shi Lang was still smiling as if nothing happened.
With an indifferent gaze, he looked at the head guard, who was using his spiritual energy to stop the bleeding. The head guard raised his head to match the gaze of the Terran. His eyes were red, filled with blood, and he yelled, "Do you know who I am? You will pay with your life, you swine."
Shi Lang smiled, took out his champion token from the space ring, and asked, "Do I need to care who you are?"
The head guard was pissed, and he wanted to spew out more curses when he realized what this token represented. He froze in his tracks. Yang Tie stepped forward from behind Shi Lang and asked, "Head Guard Zhu Xiameng, do you accept the punishment of disrespecting the Young Master of the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion?"
Zhu Xiameng shivered; he would have accepted the punishment if it had been dealt with privately, but this was the question of his dignity. He was the head guard of the Forger City guards. He was the direct member of the Zhu Family. How can he stand some stranger claiming to be the Young Master of the Dragon Pavilion walking up and cutting off his arm?
He was unsatisfied, and just when he was about to retort, he felt a pressure descend on his shoulders. Looking up in horror, he found a red and gold crown over Shi Lang's head. Zhu Xiameng realized that this guy did not intend to let him go. He was not after his dignity only but his life too.
The head guard's forehead was already laced with sweat, and his lackeys were the same. Their eyes were filled with shock and fear. Shi Lang observed them and thought, this is indeed the world where the strong are worshipped.
Just as he was about to make a statement to scare the shit out of Head Guard Zhu, a calm voice sounded from the other side of the city limits, "May I ask, what is going on here?"
Yang Tie looked to the side and came to stand half a step behind Shi Lang.
He briefly introduced Shi Lang with his spiritual sense, "Young Master, he is the Third Young Master of the Zhu Family. He is responsible for maintaining order in the city. Zhu Xiameng is his direct subordinate. Be wary of this youth, Sire. He is known for his cunning and cruel nature."
Shi Lang gazed at the newcomer and said, "Do not worry, Yang Tie, I know what I am doing."
Zhu Xiameng hurriedly rushed to the new arrival and said, "Young Master Lin, you must get me justice. These people from the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion are running amock. Look, they even severed my arm."
The Third Young Master Zhu looked like a refined young gentleman, but his eyes were like a fox, filled with cunning and cruelty. He looked at the severed arm and said, "Pick your arm and go to the family apothecary. They might be able to reconnect this."
Zhu Xiameng thought he had been delivered with amnesty and quickly picked up his severed arm and decided to rush away. However, a cold voice sounded behind him the next moment, "Head Guard Zhu, I do not think I agreed with you leaving the place."
The third Young Master Zhu, was shocked, but he looked at Shi Lang with a scrutinizing gaze. His gaze skimmed the jade crown, and his heart palpitated. He asked, "May I ask, who might you be?"
Shi Lang did not reply. Yang Tie said, "Third Young Master Zhu, let me introduce you to the Champion of the Heavenly Dragon Army and the Young Master of the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion, Master Ace."
These words sent a wave of surprise through Zhu Lin's heart. He clasped his fist in greeting and asked, "It is my folly not to recognize you. Welcome to the Forger City. May I ask what the matter is? How did my subordinate upset you?"
Shi Lang smiled and greeted the guy, "Thank you for this warm welcome, Young Master Zhu. Your subordinate has been causing great harm to the people and the image of the Forger City and the respectable Zhu Family."
The Third Young Master Zhu was surprised by this statement. He did not expect Shi Lang to be so good with words. The terran had just spoken once and perfectly painted Zhu Xiameng as the villain. Also, the statement was so tightly packed that it left him no room to maneuver.
Shi Lang did not care about the surprise. He continued, "When I arrived at the city gate, I was stopped by the city guards. I thought it would be a usual inspection, after which I would be asked to pay an entry fee. However, what Head Guard Zhu did not only accused the nature of his job but also put a blemish on my dignity."
Yang Tie was shocked; he almost laughed out loud at this act. Shi Lang was grinding the young master of the Zhu family. One has to know that Third Young Master Zhu was not to be looked down on because he was called the Third. He was more authoritative than the first and the second Young Masters of the family.
This guy was so cruel that he killed his younger brothers and sold off his step-sisters to secure alliances with other families. The elder Young Masters of the family were busy with their expeditions and growing stronger at the frontline. Even if those two people decided to return to the family, they would have no power to stand against Zhu Lin.
Zhu Lin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ace, can you tell me what happened?"
Shi Lang put up a bitter smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, he asked for me and my companions to hand over our space rings for a check. Do you think this is in line with the checking? How can a cultivator be asked to have his personal belongings inspected?"
Zhu Lin froze, but he was not to be defeated so quickly. He replied, "I apologize for the misunderstanding, but we always do this to prevent any demonic cultivator from infiltrating the city."
Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "Is that so?"
Zhu Lin nodded, and the Head Guard raised his chin. He wanted to see what Shi Lang would do now. However, the next moment, he was shocked.
The terran asked, "Do you think that the champion of the Heavenly Dragon pavilion, who is chosen to bear the title by the Sovereign Heavenly Dragon and Sovereign Zither Soul and unanimous votes of many Immortal Emperors and Immortal Empresses, is a demonic cultivator? So, do you mean that my respected Seniors are all blind fools?"
Zhu Lin was trapped again, and nothing he said would help him this time. Shi Lang had trapped him in a checkmate, where the third Young Master Zhu had to retreat to survive this situation without starting a war.
