Deputy Chief Daniel’s countenance changed repetitively. He had attended the arbitration, and knew what Fang Xingjian looked like.

He recalled the various rumors concerning Fang Xingjian, how even the First Prince and Sword Saint Sasa had not been able to deal with him, and how so many amazing people were supporting him.

Putting aside the incredible Holy Orison, just James or the Great Western Region’s Governor Deputy Governor alone would be sufficient to do him in, a mere Deputy Chief of the Bureau of Mines.

Thinking of this, he glared furiously at Gus, making the latter shudder in fear. The fats on her face trembled, unaware what the problem was.

Deputy Chief Daniel was just about to let Duolun, Roeslim, and the others know. However, he changed his mind and decided against it.

This time around, Gus was the one who had deceived Fang Xingjian. Rather than persuading them to back off, it might be better to let them receive part of his fury first.

Moreover, the Duolun and Duolong brothers had committed all kinds of atrocities, even raping and killing ladies. They had even wiped out entire families several times, and due to their level of cultivation, they had even dared to go against Daniel’s words. This was a good chance to teach them a lesson.

Fang Xingjian threw the Duolun and Duolong brothers a glance and said,”The two of you aren’t the Empire’s Conferred Knights, right? What faction are you from?”

Both Duolun and Duolong were very muscular, but not too bright. The impression they gave was of people who were all brawn and no brain.

The two of them had been wholeheartedly practicing martial arts since young. Due to the fact that they had outstanding talents and were simple-minded, they managed to improve progressively. The Flowing Water Dojo had invested all their resources into them. This allowed them to attain a breakthrough to Heaven’s Perception, to successfully undergo their job transitions in the Flowing Water Dojo’s Sacred Land, and to become the only two Conferred Knights in the Flowing Water Dojo.

However, considering their temperaments, talents, and the Flowing Water Dojo’s resources, reaching their current level at second transition level 22 was already their limit. However, despite that, second transition and level 22 was already very hard to come by. Even in Great Western City they were capable enough to act in a tyrannous manner,bullying and killing countless commoners.

The Flowing Water Dojo they belonged to had also nurtured Conferred Knights in the past, but they had gone into decline later on, and their rights to the Knight’s handbook had also been removed. It had not been easy for them to nurture two geniuses, and thus they had made use of this opportunity to expand their territories and influence. After they accomplished that, they wished to once again get the rights to have the Knight’s handbook, increase their reputation, and expand their dojo.

The techniques written on the Knight’s handbook were the newest, topnotch information regarding the Empire’s martial arts. Therefore, it was not something which every faction, dojo, and academy would be privileged enough to have access to.

Not only was there a need to make annual payments, the association also had to give them the access rights.

This had thus became a benchmark set by the Knight Association. It had become the deciding factor of who was considered to be part of the Empire’s leading academies and factions.

For many years, Flowing Water Dojo had not gotten the Knight’s handbook. This meant that both in terms of skills and martial techniques, they had lagged behind other influential powers by a lot. Right now, they had gotten themselves two geniuses who had become Conferred Knights, so they were trying to think of all means to obtain the rights once again. One of their ways of doing so was to appeal through the Governor’s assistant.

Hearing Fang Xingjian’s question, Duolun shouted,”That’s right! We’re Flowing Water Dojo’s Duolun and Duolong.”

Roeslim no longer felt any impatience. He said,”Stop all the long-winded talk. Get my finger back and break his four limbs. I want him to be in a state worse than death for three days and three nights.”

Fang Xingjian threw a calm glance at Duolun and Duolong, then said,”The two of you want to assault an Empire’s Knight?”

Duolun and Duolong exchanged glances. Usually, killing a commoner was as simple as killing a chicken for them. There was no difficulty in wiping out even a small family.

When they were out of money, they would just cover their faces and become bandits. They had assaulted even aristocrats before.

However, if this lad was really a Knight, then it was quite troublesome for them to assault him in public.

Duolun tweaked his neck a little, sending out killing intent from all over his body and taking three light steps forward. Next, the earth trembled, causing the houses in the surroundings to shake furiously as powdery flakes were falling off them.

Duolun put on a savage smile and said,”Lad, it’s better for you to surrender voluntarily. If we were to take action, it would be a painful experience for you.” His series of actions had made it clear that he was planning to use the impressive aura of a second transition expert to force Fang Xingjian to compel.

Fang Xingjian looked at them coldly and said,”I’ll kill whoever dares to move.”
