Chapter 81 - The Powers Behind (1/2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Flying Dragon Sect was on the blacklist of the Special Task Force, and any who dared to harbor such especially wanted persons of the Special Task Force were definitely mortal enemies with them.
However, things were different for Master Ying.
Dealing with a Martial Arts Legend like him would have given even the Chiefs of the branches severe headaches.
Such beings were usually taken care of by the bosses of branches at the provincial, level after all.
“Is that Master Ying really that difficult?” Lu Xuan asked after taking a look at both of them.
Yun Sheng laid it out to Lu Xuan right away, “Master Ying was actually the go-to guy of a certain organization, and he was specifically tasked to take care of things like these.”
Lu Xuan only came to realize why Master Ying had been able to carve his own territory in the black market middleman industry.
He had an organization backing him up.
Corporations like the Taichu Group would have had a lot of need for such middlemen, and it would have been best for them to foster one such person from among their ranks than to seek out services from outside.
Organizations like that definitely had the power and resources to do so.
“So what? Is the Special Task Force afraid of them now? And speaking of which, have we forgotten that this is a smuggling operation?” Lu Xuan grinned and continued.
“Well, it’s not that we’re actually afraid of them, just that they’re difficult to deal with. People like that sell power items of the country overseas, and that is an act tantamount to betraying one’s own culture and ancestors. They are definitely violating the law for doing so!” Yun Sheng clarified right away.
“Then, in that case, we’ll just leave it at that. According to conventions, I should be collecting my bounties for killing those two wanted criminals. But you could keep the money. I’d just make do with what they were about to smuggle,” Lu Xuan grinned and said.
The two men before him looked puzzled. They had no idea what was actually being smuggled. Despite those goods definitely being items sold at an exorbitant price, killing two enemy Martial Arts Legends was, without a doubt, a very good thing to have happened nonetheless.
It was such an occasion that not just the boss at the provincial level, but even the boss from the headquarters, would have had to come up personally to the one who had done the deed to reward the two of them.
As for the goods about to be smuggled, they thought it sensible to just let it slide. Lu Xuan was the one who killed those two men, after all. The people of the Special Task Force would not have been able to apprehend the men responsible if not for Lu Xuan, and the goods were hardly worth mentioning in comparison.
Lu Xuan waved and took his leave. Chen Nian had to stay behind as a witness.
Yun Sheng and Wang Junming looked at each other after Lu Xuan was gone, taking a deep breath to calm the chill running down their spines.
They had to do so, especially after seeing the number of bodies all over the place.
“One blow, one kill,” Yun Sheng said.
“HuaJin and Baodan levels can be dealt with one single blow. Even Martial Arts Legends take no more than two blows to deal with. Some frightening level of powers, indeed.”
Wang Junming checked the wounds and found what just happened to be harrowing.
Martial Arts Legends were beings at such terrifying levels. A single person could have wiped out every member of a branch.
They would have had to resort to using secret weapons before being able to repel such a menace.
The emphasis was “repel.” Killing Martial Arts Legends would have been impossibly difficult, and the losses they would have sustained far exceeded the value of the kill.
Yet, Lu Xuan simply went up and dealt with such beings without breaking a sweat, and he had even killed two such beings.
The thought of what just happened would have given them nightmares.
