Chapter 135: Lock Up? (2/2)

The expression on that Captain Wu’s face became slightly warped.

In his opinion, Huang Xiaolong’s actions were arrogantly insolent. He, the City Guards’ Captain, was standing right in front of him and yet he still dared to strike the Clear Cloud Pavilion’s disciples. His anger overshadowed the fact that Huang Xiaolong’s strength surprised him. Instantly, Captain Wu’s face sank and he bellowed at Huang Xiaolong: “Little punk, you’re too impudent, does the law still exists in your eyes?”

“Law?” Huang Xiaolong slowly turned around, facing that Captain Wu, a sharp light gleamed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes. Without warning, a palm shot out, landing a resounding slap right across Captain Wu’s face, causing him to spin from the force. A few circles later Captain Wu finally managed to control himself, albeit a little dizzy.

Although he was a City Guards Captain, he was merely a Seventh Order warrior. In front of Huang Xiaolong it bore no difference to that of a little kid.

“Captain Wu!”

“Captain Wu, are you okay?!”

The surrounding guards were stunned, bursts of shouts sounded from different corners.

Finally stopping himself, the Guards Captain Wu clutched the burning right side of his face with a look of disbelief as he stared dumbly at Huang Xiaolong, “Little punk, you, you dared to hit me?”

“So what if I hit you?” Huang Xiaolong’s cold voice rebuffed.

Clear Cloud Pavilion disciples came to make a mess here in the Nine Tripod Commerce every day, and the Nine Tripod Commerce disciples were beaten every day by Clear Cloud Pavilion disciples. How was it that these City Guards disappeared without so much as a shadow at those times? Now that Clear Cloud Pavilion disciples were injured, they appeared so efficiently?

Moreover, before Huang Xiaolong arrived, he did some checking and found this Big Dawn County’s Castellan was Prime Minister Wu Feng’s student. This point further explained why the Clear Cloud Pavilion could harass and beat up the Nine Tripod Commerce disciples without facing repercussions for the past month. And on top of that, none of the Big Dawn City guards made an appearance.

That Captain Wu was so angered by Huang Xiaolong’s rebuff, especially that sentence, ‘so what if I hit you?’, that it made the green veins on his forehead twitch uncontrollably. His heart was aflame. Any hesitation he had towards offending the Nine Tripod Commerce was burned to cinders.

“You! Go catch this little punk and lock him up!” Captain Wu pointed a finger at Huang Xiaolong, shouting angrily at the guards hovering behind him while the other hand indicated with a wave.

“Yes, Captain Wu!”

The City Guards received their orders and swiftly surrounded Huang Xiaolong in a circle.

At this time, Huang Xiaolong’s silhouette retreated, and Fei Hou who had been watching closely at the side swept his palms out vertically. The force blew away all of the guards within the blink of an eye.

Looking at all the city guards groaning in pain on the floor, Captain Wu stared aghast at Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou: “You two, dare to resist arrest?”

With a flick of his wrist, a shiny golden token appeared in Huang Xiaolong’s hand. From the golden token, a spirited image of a dragon and a phoenix winding around the character ‘Marshal*’ broke into Captain Wu’s line of sight.

Seeing that golden token, Captain Wu’s legs lost their strength and they trembled as he knelt down in salute. His shaky voice sounded: “Big Dawn County’s Third Squad City Guards Captain Wu Xiaodong greets Lord!”

The golden token in Huang Xiaolong’s hand was Marshal Haotian’s Marshal token. Seeing it was equivalent to seeing Marshal Haotian in person. At the start of the journey, thinking of the possibility of such circumstances arising, Huang Xiaolong brought the matter up and borrowed the Marshal token from Marshal Haotian.

Watching the trembling Captain Wu kneeling on the floor, Huang Xiaolong gaze was extremely cold, he only spat out one word: “Roll!”

Captain Wu looked up dumbly as if he did not expect Huang Xiaolong would let him off so easily.

“What? You don’t want to roll?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

“Yes, yes Lord, I’ll roll, rolling now, I’m rolling away this instant!” That Captain Wu nodded his head with vigor, getting up from the floor as he escaped towards the exit with all the city guards trailing behind him.

After Captain Wu and the city guards fled, Li Bin came beside Huang Xiaolong, asking cautiously, “Young Lord, what do we do with Mei Pengliang and these Clear Cloud Pavilion’s people?”
