Xuan'er easily dodged their combined attack. Just as she brushed past her opponents, she swung out two delicate, pink fists, striking their targets with precision and force, sending them flying. Although her realm was far superior to theirs, she lacked true combat experience.
"You're capable. I like it. I like it this way!" An evil smile appeared on the face of the chief, and there was a malicious greed in his eyes.
Yu Kai flashed, rushing directly in front of the captain, grabbing his shoulders tightly and kicking him hard, knocking him to his knees. He raised his left hand and slapped the captain's face without hesitation. "Pa!" A crisp sound echoed in the surroundings, instantly silencing the surroundings.
"You..." The captain never expected Yu Kai's movements to be so swift. He restrained him with one hand and slapped him hard, knocking out half of his teeth. As he spoke, his teeth fell out of his mouth along with blood. The tragic scene was unbearable to watch.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Yu Kai sealed his spiritual power and attacked with both hands, knocking out the teeth on the other side. The head of the chief was swollen and looked like a pig's head.
Xuan'er couldn't help laughing as she watched from the side.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the city's defense forces, and someone quickly sent a message to Elder Li of the Danxiao Sect. Soon, a great commander of venerable strength, clad in blue armor and riding a massive leopard, arrived with a large army. He looked down at Yu Kai and Xuan'er, his gaze shone with a hint of authority. "How dare you assault an imperial official? Do you know what crime you've committed?"
"Are you the highest-ranking official in Fentian City?" Xuan'er spoke first, looking at the commander-in-chief with a smile, her eyes smart and playful.
"I am an official of the sixth rank in the imperial court and the commander-in-chief of the city defense army of Fentian City. Here, I am the highest-ranking military officer!" The commander-in-chief spoke with a bit of arrogance, trying to intimidate the two men with his official power.
"They abuse their power and run rampant in the village, do you know that?" Yu Kai held up the pig-headed captain's head and questioned him, his eyes filled with coldness, as if two cold rays of light were piercing the commander-in-chief.
The commander-in-chief knew that this chief, relying on his position as a trusted confidant of the City Lord's Mansion, was constantly committing crimes and committing all sorts of evil. His voice weakened, "I know..."
"Then why don't you care?" Yu Kai asked again, with a hint of anger in his tone.
The commander-in-chief was a little ashamed, lowered his head and remained silent.
"It seems you don't dare to intervene?" Yu Kai said coldly, his eyes revealing disdain. "Who are you afraid of? I'm backing you up today, do you dare to intervene?"
"Who dares to speak so arrogantly in Burning Heaven City?" A furious shout interrupted Yu Kai. A middle-aged, fat man with a potbelly approached, escorted by countless armored soldiers. He was the Lord of Burning Heaven City and a disciple of the Danxiao Sect!
Seeing him, the chief captain's face was filled with excitement. He struggled to stand up, and Yu Kai took the opportunity to let go of his hand. The chief captain mistakenly thought Yu Kai was afraid and was about to say something harsh, but Yu Kai kicked him out. With a "bang", he fell to the ground at the feet of the fat city lord, startling the fat city lord.
The fat city lord's face was gloomy. He looked at the miserable state of the chief, with a hint of anger in his eyes. "You actually destroyed his cultivation?"
"What's wrong? Don't you have eyes?" Xuan'er looked at the fat city lord provocatively, with a look of unruliness in her eyes.
"Well, how brave!" The fat city lord had a sinister look on his face. He looked at the commander on the leopard and said, "Commander Xu! The thief is right here, why don't you take action to capture him?"
"You have to think it over carefully!" Xuan'er looked at Commander Xu and smiled slightly. There was a warning in her eyes, but there was no trace of nervousness.
"I didn't see anything. Did you see anything?" Commander Xu asked loudly.
"No!" The city defense forces and the surrounding civilians shouted at the same time, their voices shaking the sky.
"See it? Lord City Lord, you are seeing things!" Commander Xu said while winking at Xuan'er and Yu Kai, signaling them to leave first.
"Are your eyes uncomfortable?" Xuan'er was amused and started laughing. After all, it was quite funny for a commander with a majestic face to wink at them.
Yu Kai had no intention of leaving. He looked at the fat city lord coldly, a warning in his eyes. This made Commander Xu very anxious. He secretly prayed that the two could leave as soon as possible, otherwise things might get out of control.
"Good! Very good! It seems that you don't want to be the commander-in-chief anymore! I will report this matter to the court later!" The fat city lord said viciously, as if he had already seen the end of Commander Xu.
"I think you don't want to be the city lord anymore?" Before Commander Xu could say anything, Xuan'er stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid of him. We have your back! Capture him now and come with us to the capital to sue him!"
"Hahahaha! Take me to the city to sue you? Do you know who Lord Ling is? He is my senior brother. You actually dare to go to my senior brother to sue me, hahahaha!" The fat city lord and his men laughed so hard that they fell over, as if they had heard a huge joke.
Yu Kai looked at Commander Xu and said, "Then arrest him and take him to the provincial government to be dealt with by the governor!"
"Boy, I don't care about your background. I'm telling you now, the governor, the minister, and even the governor are all from my Danxiao Sect. No one will dare to punish me no matter where you take them! Even in the imperial capital, it's the same. Ask Commander Xu if it's the same?" The fat city lord had a smug look on his face, showing his arrogant nature.
Yu Kai looked at Commander Xu with a gloomy expression.
Commander Xu sighed and dismounted from the giant leopard. "Alas... Your Majesty has been absent from state affairs for years. Prime Minister Li was busy breaking through to the Emperor Realm a few years ago, and in recent years he's been recovering from injuries with several War Kings..."
"Is there no one who dares to take care of it? No one who dares to take care of it?" Yu Kai's face became even colder and he asked loudly.
"Yes!" Commander Xu looked at Yu Kai and said, "He's risking his life. The worst that can happen is he'll lose his job and be dismissed." "Luo Shunli, the former Minister of Justice, is a man of integrity and uprightness. He's not afraid of power. He will investigate any injustice and hold those responsible accountable!"
"Okay, capture them and come with me to see him!" Yu Kai's expression eased a lot.
"But..." Commander Xu was a little frustrated.
"What's going on?" Xuan'er asked.
"Luo Shunli is a stubborn person, and because of this he has offended many powerful people. He is now in the Ministry of Justice prison, awaiting execution!" said the fat city lord with a proud look on his face.
"What crime did he commit? Who gave the order?" Yu Kai's voice was cold, and murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.
Commander Xu was shocked by the terrifying murderous intent. He knelt down in front of Yu Kai and said, "Sir! Please save Lord Luo! He has been wrongly accused."
"Swish!" The surrounding city defense troops and onlookers knelt down and shouted in unison, "Sir, please save Lord Luo!" The sound was as turbulent as the tide, shocking people's hearts.
"Who are you?" The fat city lord has the strength of a Venerable. The murderous intent just now almost suffocated him, and now it has aroused public anger. He suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Yu Kai ignored him and slowly took out the Human Emperor Sword from his back. The sword radiated a cold light, as if it contained endless power. He looked coldly at General Xu, who was kneeling before him, and asked, "Do you recognize this?"
