Everyone moved out of the way. There was only Chu Tian and Shangguan Ming left in the center.

  Of course there were also the eighteen silent men in black.

  Everyone felt worried for Chu Tian.

  “These eighteen guards seem quite ordinary, how could they block an expert of the Shangguan Family?”


  “Central State City has finally produced a genius like this, will he now be harmed by the Shangguan Family?”


  Everyone felt indignant. Chu Tian was a rare once in a hundred years genius of Central State and Miracle Commerce was a company that everyone had expectations for.

  If they were destroyed by the powers of the Shangguan Family.

  It would be a giant loss to Central State City!

  Shangguan Ming’s hands came together and an immense strength was released. Waves of spirit energy surged forth like waves in the sea, producing invisible airwaves around him that stirred up the dust on the stage.

  A scarlet giant pen suddenly soared into the sky.

  Meng Yingying said in a surprised voice, “A pen?”


  “It’s the Shangguan Family’s Pen Source Spirit!” Yun Tianhe returned to the center podium and said with a serious expression, “The Shangguan Family practices the «Life and Death Pen» cultivation technique. It’s said that it can control a person’s life and death, so it is very hard to deal with!”


  Yun Tianhe’s explanation was of course heard by everyone.

  There were actually cultivators with a “pen” source spirit, the Shangguan Family was really special. However, the Shangguan Family was one of the Three Great Clans, so it was enough to prove just how strong the Shangguan Family was!

  Shangguan Ming took out a giant pen from his sleeve.

  This pen was three feet long and looked like a short spear, giving off a cold glow. After the power of his source spirit was added, it seemed to contain infinite might.

  “I can still spare you. Seeing as you have a bit of talent, it would be a pity for you to die now!” Shangguan Ming pointed at Chu Tian with his pen, “Your talent is enough for you to run wild in Central State, but the Shangguan Family’s might is not something an ant like you can go against! I’ll give you one last chance to submit before being destroyed!”


  “I do have prestige in Central State, but how much better are you compared to me? You’re a member of the Shangguan Family and a special envoy for the kingdom, but aren’t you still playing around in Central State? You’re a forty-fifty year old man, yet you’re still playing with children!”


  “How bold!” Shangguan Ming’s eyes flashed with anger, “I will not kill you and keep you as a dog by my side! However, a dog that only knows how to bark needs to be taught a lesson on how to be quiet!”


  “I won’t draw my sword or fight back, I will just stand here!” Chu Tian crossed his hands across his chest, “If you can really do it, then do it already!”


  Wild! Wild! Wild!

  Such a wild fellow!

  Where did Chu Tian’s confidence come from?

  Shangguan Ming was a master at the 5th Awakened Soul Layer, but he was treated like common grass!

  “Good! Good! It’s been a long time since anyone has dared to offend my Shangguan Family. Just taking your mouth is not enough, so I will also take your hands and feet!”


  Shangguan Ming angrily used his pen to write a few strange symbols, “Strong Flame Burning Curse!”


  These marks violently exploded at Chu Tian. The terrifying flames created a giant hole in the arena!

  Yun Tianhe explained, “This is the power of the Shangguan Family’s source spirit. It can be used as a carrier for symbol arrays!”


  The smoke slowly dissipated.

  In between the eighteen black clothed man, Chu Tian did not move at all and had suffered no injuries.

  Shangguan Ming’s expression fell.

  How was this possible!

  This was an attack with 50-60% of his full strength!

  If Shangguan Ming used 50-60% of his strength, even Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang would have been killed. Even if Chu Tian was heaven defying, how could he possibly not be hurt at all?

  Chu Tian appraised it with a single word, “Weak!”


  It was impossible for him to not be embarrassed!

  Chu Tian did not give him any face at all!

  “I admit that I underestimated you!” Shangguan Ming’s expression was very ugly and he began to truly feel angered, “But in front of me, you are just a little ant. You are nothing more than a little chicken that can’t even take a single hit! I will let you see the Shangguan Family’s true martial arts!”


  No matter what, he was an elder of the Shangguan Family. Could a trivial 3rd Awakened Soul Layer fellow look down on him? This was something that he could not accept no matter what!

  The giant pen flew into the sky.

  Two fire red groups of energy appeared in the form of whips, constantly rolling around like fire dragons. Everywhere they went, the ground cracked open!

  Chu Tian’s bell gently sounded.

  The eighteen black clothed men moved and formed a line in front of Chu Tian. It was like they had practiced it a thousand times as they attacked with their palms at the same time.

  Hong!

  A wave of energy collided with the two energy whips!

  Almost in an instant, the two energy whips were completely shattered apart!

  The energy wave sent out by the eighteen men in black did not weaken as it continued to move forward. Shangguan Ming quickly raised his pen to block it, but he was sent back several feet. His body’s blood and qi swelled up and he felt like it was hard to block!

  Damn!

  Every single one of these black clothed men had cultivation bases at the 4th Awakened Soul Layer!

  Not only was Shangguan Ming shocked, even Yun Tianhe, Chen Bingyu, Feng Yunlong, and Meng Qingwu were all shocked!

  What was happening?

  Meng Qingwu covered her lips, but that beautiful face was completely covered in shock!

  These eighteen Yin Corpses had been guards that never left her shadow for the past month. When Chu Tian came back from the Central State Tower, he had asked for them back, but it had only been a few days.

  The result?

  The eighteen initial Awakened Soul Realm Yin Corpses had entered the intermediate Awakened Soul Realm!

  This was not just a simple change! This was a giant evolution! With Miracle Commerce having eighteen Illustrious Soul Realm bodyguards, in Central State City, who could threaten Chu Tian?

  No wonder Chu Tian was filled with confidence!

  Even if Shangguan Ming was at the 5th Awakened Soul Layer, fighting eighteen 4th Awakened Soul Layer experts was not an easy thing for him!

  Shangguan Ming was cursing mayor Feng Yunlong right now!

  That fellow didn’t tell him that Chu Tian had this kind of power beside him. If these eighteen fellows entered the Three Great Clans, they would all be elder level characters. They actually resigned themselves to be guards for Miracle Commerce, this was unbelievable!

  If he had known this earlier, Shangguan Ming would have considered this.

  Now he had made a move, he could not back off!

  “There’s no need to talk that much. It seems like your mouth is quite powerful, no wonder you were able to become a special envoy! If glib lips could kill people, I would have died several times already!”


  “A nameless little fool shouldn’t act so wildly!” Shangguan Ming’s attitude completely changed. He had treated this as a game in the beginning, but now he was treating this as a serious battle, “Do you think you can beat me with just this?”’


  Shangguan Ming erupted and the pen released giant runes that fell like raindrops, completely surrounding Chu Tian.

  “Such insignificant abilities!”


  Chu Tian saw through Shangguan Ming’s intention with a single glance. He wanted to create a giant array and use it to suppress all of Chu Tian’s guards at once!

  It was fine if it were a normal person.

  How could Chu Tian not break through his array?

  Using this kind of array in front of him, wasn’t that showing off in front of an expert?

  The eighteen Yin Corpses instantly shot out. After Chu Tian’s Divine Sense had gotten stronger, his control was even better than before. He could control them like they were his clones.

  The array?

  It was destroyed!

  The eighteen Yin Corpses did not give him any chances and directly surrounded Shangguan Ming!

  Shangguan Ming was secretly shocked. It was fine it these were normal 4th Awakened Soul Realm experts, but their cultivation bases were quite strange. Their coordination with one another was also flawless, like they were all a single person.

  This is bad!

  Even if he can win, it would be a tragic victory!

  First he would ignore the strange black clothed experts and directly take care of Chu Tian!

  “Scram!”


  Shangguan Ming stabbed out with his pen and a red flame surged outwards. He was prepared for them to move back, but the black clothed men did not move. They worked together to release an attack and blocked Shangguan Ming’s attack!

  The clothes of the black clothed men were torn to shreds!

  Rip!

  When the people saw the appearance of the black clothed men, they all took in a shocked gasp!

  These were not living people!

  These black clothed men had no emotions and their eyes were dilated. They released no aura at all. These were all dead people!

  Were these Yin Corpses? These Yin Corpses were very different from normal Yin Corpses. The levels of strength of the Yin Corpses were well known, with different amounts of energy in different Yin Corpses. They had different hairs that grew on their bodies which could be used to measure how strong they were!

  These Yin Corpses had smooth and black skin that gave off a metallic glow. The muscles of their bodies seemed like they were made of iron and they released a mysterious and deep aura.

  Yun Tianhe finally noticed the bell in Chu Tian’s hand, “Is that the Soul Contracting Soul Controlling Bell mentioned in the ancient records? But why are his Yin Corpses so strange!”


  Of course Yun Tianhe didn’t know.

  The Yin Corpses forged by the ancient sect were made with low level techniques!

  Chu Tian was unfamiliar with this area of study, but after studying the broken memory of the spiritual god, he had learned quite a bit. Since he had the material, he used a bit of the divine blood to perform an experiment.

  The eighteen Yin Corpses were refined by Chu Tian again.

  They had now been completely reborn!

  Not only did their defense and attack increase, but because of the divine blood, they had gained a divine nature. Now they could practice their cultivation and become stronger!

  “Line up!”


  The eighteen Yin Corpses arranged themselves in a line.

  That’s right, Chu Tian was using his old tricks. The method that he used against Ye Tianlang was being used again on Shangguan Ming. Back then, there was a large difference between the strengths of the Yin Corpses and Ye Tianlang, much bigger than the current difference, but even then they were able to take care of Ye Tianlang.

  What did Shangguan Ming count for!

  The eighteen Yin Corpses worked in unison, releasing various Yin Poison at once. Not to mention attacking Chu Tian, Shangguan Ming was now under siege by the eighteen Yin Corpses, even protecting himself was a large problem.

  Pu!

  Shangguan Ming suffered a fierce hit from a Yin Corpse palm.

  He was knocked to the edge of the stage. Without having enough time to stand up, the eighteen Yin Corpses quickly surrounded him. Those pairs of cold emotionless green eyes made Shangguan Ming feel deep fear.

  “That’s enough!” Shangguan Ming shouted, “I will not force this matter anymore, so move them away already!”


  “Sir Shangguan really is forgetful!” Chu Tian was cold as ice as he coldly said, “You wanted to steal my items and wanted to imprison me, daring to act so vicious? Now you’re beaten, you want to just leave? If father acted so simply, then any piece of trash would dare to come bother me!”


  Shangguan Ming’s brows knit together, “What do you want to do? I am a member of the Shangguan Family! I am a special envoy of the kingdom!”


  Ka!

  A Yin Corpse kicked out.

  A knee cap was directly shattered!

  Shangguan Ming gave a pitiful cry!

  “What bullshit Shangguan Family, do you think father would fear them!” In front of the entire Central State City, Chu Tian was acting this wild and unscrupulous, “Father will cripple your cultivation to show everyone that offending me means that whether it is the past, present, or future, this will be the consequence!”


  Shangguan Ming angrily roared, “You dare!”


  Chu Tian’s eyes revealed an ice cold glow, “You think I won’t dare?”


  “No! Don’t!” Shangguan Ming finally revealed a look of fear, “Spare me! Please spare me!”


  This was a member of the Shangguan Family?

  He was actually begging Chu Tian for mercy while lying on the ground!

  In a world ruled by strength, it would be better to kill him instead of just crippling him!

  Mayor Feng Yunlong revealed an awkward look. This matter had been instigated by him and the Shangguan Family was not clear on the matter yet. If Shangguan Ming were crippled in Central State City, this would become a large matter!

  This was a special envoy!

  It was Feng Yunlong who had instigated him!

  If the Shangguan Family investigated this, it was impossible for them to miss him!

  At that time, even if he was the mayor, he would not be able to escape!

  In front of the entire city, Chu Tian had broken one of Shangguan Ming’s legs. Right now he was prepared to destroy Shangguan Ming’s spirit energy and turn him into a cripple.

  “Chu Tian, stop!” The Divine Wind Marquis floated down, “He has already received his punishment. On account of me, just let this matter go!”


  With the Divine Wing Marquis’ status and position, even if the Shangguan Family investigated this matter, he would be able to mediate the situation.

  But if Chu Tian crippled Shangguan Ming, they would not back off.

  Chu Tian had not handled the families of Central State and he was already picking a fight with the Three Great Clans, this was not a sane thing to do.

  “Since the Divine Wind Marquis has acted, I have to give the marquis some face.”


  Shangguan Ming revealed a look of joy.

  “But, even if I don’t cripple him, he has to pay another price.”


  Shangguan Ming revealed a look of terror, he could not understand this madman. No one expected Chu Tian to raise his leg and step on the place between Shangguan Ming’s legs. Shangguan Ming gave a pitiful cry and fainted on the spot.

  If the four limbs were broken, they could be healed with Elixirs, but if his lifeline was broken……then that would be hard!

  Perhaps for the remainder of his life, Shangguan Ming would regret everything he did today.

  Chu Tian waved his hand, “Strip him and throw him out!”


  Two-three Yin Corpses stripped him, leaving only a pair of underwear on him. Everything on him had been confiscated.

  Everyone was shocked!

  This brat had too much courage!

  The Divine Wind Marquis had come out to advise him to act humble, but he had acted so unscrupulously!

  The Divine Wind Marquis shook his head with a bitter smile. He understood Chu Tian’s character and that he would carry out his words. This could only be blamed on Shangguan Ming himself!

  No matter!

  This matter had come to an end.

  The Divine Wind Marquis could only deliver a letter to the Imperial City and explain everything to the Three Great Clans personally. It was a good thing that Shangguan Ming’s imperial edict was on his body, which proved that it was wrong for him to be in Central State City. The Divine Wind Marquis could use his status to mediate. The Shangguan Family should give him this much face at least!

  However, this was a good lesson.

  The people of Central State could finally see through Chu Tian!

  This fellow was a complete maniac!

  Was there anything Chu Tian didn’t dare do in this world?

  Not to mention the Central State Four Great Families, what did the kingdom’s Three Great Clans count for? They should never offend this evil star!
