Chapter 23 (2/2)

As Little Qiu finished her plea, two people replied at the same time.

“Silly girl, Uncle Beardo is here, don’t be afraid!”

“What’s the rush, little girl? I’m not done playing yet!”

Xu Yi finally turned his head, glaring coldly at the black robed teen who still bore a smirk on his face. He flashed a black metal badge, which was the constable’s waist badge that he had just collected, and spoke sternly. “I am a newly appointed constable of this town. The lot of you gathering here, what is your business?”

“Constable? It’s none of your business here, get lost! You’re out of your place acting like a big shot here!”

Head Zhou jumped in before the black robed teen could respond.

Initially, he had thought that Xu Yi was some big shot. But after hearing that he was a constable of the town, Head Zhou’s aggression was ignited.

Furong Town indeed had a police station, but it was filled with useless nobodies who sat around and did nothing. As the head of the fisheries, he was a man of standing in Furong Town. What was a mere constable to him!

Xu Yi did not even bother looking at Head Zhou. He continued to stare straight at the black robed teen, saying, “I’ll let you tell me the story of what happened just now. I believe you will own up to your actions!”

The black robed teen threw his head back and laughed out loud. “I haven’t seen such an interesting person as you in a long time. Fine, let me tell you what happened here just now…”

The black robed teen was all out to make a joke out of Xu Yi. Gloatingly, he provided a simple description of what happened before, then added, “You know all you need to know now. I’ve committed lots of evil. I’m guilty. You’re a constable, aren’t you? Arrest me!” With that, he held out both his hands together in front of Xu Yi.

“Ahahahaha…”

The group of green robed men joined in the laughter.

Head Zhou was laughing along too. He reached out his hand to pat Xu Yi on the shoulder. “Brat, go crawl away to someplace else. Don’t come bother…”

The moment the word bother had left his mouth, Head Zhou suddenly realized that he could no longer say another word.

His neck was being held by Xu Yi’s right hand in a vice-like grip. His whole body was lifted up into the air, and within moments, the whites of his eyes were showing.

An incredible turn of events shocked everyone at the scene.

No one had imagined that a mere constable would dare lay hands on one of the most influential figures in the town.

With a loud roar that shook the sky, eight large, shirtless men charged towards Xu Yi.

These were the fighters that Head Zhou had raised for a long time. They were mainly drifters who had entered the Body Forging stage.

Amongst them, the one with the highest level of cultivation charged right in front. He was a bald man wielding a pair of frighteningly large copper hammers, and he was a strong fighter in the mid-levels of the Body Forging stage. The authority that Head Zhou commanded across Furong Town was upheld mainly by him.

At that moment a little constable had dared to lay hand on his master right in front of his eyes, clearly choosing to overlook his presence. The bald man’s face was contorted with anger. His pair of hammers whistled through the air, creating a violet wind. No one within three meters of him managed to stay on their feet.

With a leap, he broke the stone tile below his feet and went high up into the air. The pair of copper hammers swept down like a raging storm.

Xu Yi gently sidestepped, shielding Little Qiu with his body. With his other hand, he suddenly raised Head Zhou up high as easily as wielding a willow branch, placing him in the path of the hammers.

The bald man was in shock, but it was too late for him to redirect his attack. He forcefully pulled back, causing his body to plummet from mid-air. The heavy hammers crashed onto the ground sending debris up into the air.

At that moment, Xu Yi made his move. With a large wave of his arm, Head Zhou was thrown towards the charging troupe of men like a rag doll. He kicked the handle of one of the copper hammers, causing it to leap up into his arm like a bolt of lightning. He then sent it crashing towards the bald man who was just trying to jump back up to his feet.

A heavy giant hammer in Xu Yi’s hands was like lifting a blade of grass. Swinging it with the suddenness of thunder, the copper hammer landed square on the chest of the bald man the moment he got to his feet. With a sickening crack, he was sent flying. Blood rained down as his body flew through the sky.
