"Then why don’t you tell us what their leader looked like?"
"I’m afraid you didn’t even touch their clothes, yet here you are, shalessly claiming the greatest credit. You’re utterly shaless!" Zhao Feng didn’t mince his words, berating Liu Changhai until the man could barely show his face.
"You little..." Liu Changhai’s eyes bulged wider than brass bells. "You... you dare to insult !"
I’m the younger brother of the Alliance Hierarch and a master of internal martial arts myself. Even mbers of high-level families have to be exceedingly polite to . And now so junior dares to humiliate in public?
The rage in his heart surged instantly!
"I’m giving you one chance to hand over the item voluntarily. Otherwise, don’t bla for taking it myself!" Liu Changhai said coldly, a surge of power making his clothes ripple.
He had to get his hands on the object Chen Zheng was holding! He’d heard stories about the Cang Mountain Secret Realm. It was a place where ancient cultivators practiced in seclusion, so it could hold so world-shaking treasures!
"If you want to make a move, feel free to try!" Zhao Feng’s expression was openly defiant. "But let warn you, you probably can’t bear the consequences of your actions!" As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Liu Changhai frowned slightly. These people had defeated the foreigners and taken hostages, so they clearly possessed considerable strength. But he refused to believe they were as formidable as they seed.
After all, these people all looked like they were in their early twenties. A bunch of greenhorns. No matter how skilled they were, how strong could they possibly be? They just got lucky!
Thinking this, he struck without hesitation. His hands ford into claws, lunging directly toward Chen Zheng, aiming for the burlap box in his hands!
"Master Liu—" Yang Chengxu began to shout a warning.
But he was far too slow.
With a flash of cold light, Liu Changhai’s two hands detached from his arms and tumbled to the ground! He let out a horrifying shriek, stumbling back several steps as he stared at Zhao Feng in utter terror.
He never dread the man could be so fast. He hadn’t even had ti to react.
Only then did Zhao Feng slowly lower the knife in his hand.
"Master Liu!" Long Tianyun cried out in shock, rushing over as fast as she could. They had paid a great price to get Liu Changhai’s help, yet Zhao Feng had shown him no respect, severing both of his hands.
"I warned you to consider the consequences before you act!" Zhao Feng snorted, his words filled with icy resolve.
Liu Changhai wanted to retort, but he was tornted by such excruciating pain that he couldn’t utter a single word. He had already been severely injured, and now with both hands gone, his eyes rolled back in his head and he collapsed.
"Master Liu!"
"Quickly, get Master Liu to the hospital! Now!" Yang Chengxu barked orders at his subordinates.
Liu Changhai was quickly carried to an off-road vehicle and sped away.
"Commander Chen, look at what your subordinate has done!" Long Tianyun yelled, her body trembling slightly as she glared at him. "Master Liu is Master Liu Changyun’s younger brother. You’ve really stirred up a hornet’s nest this ti!"
By now, even Gao Feng, who stood to the side, was stunned.
Chen Zheng’s subordinate was terrifyingly strong. He severed Liu Changhai’s hands with just one strike? Would his brother let this go? What a joke. Liu Changyun was a renowned master of internal martial arts years ago, the number one Martial Artist in Jiangnan! Chen Zheng has gotten himself into deep trouble this ti!
"Commander Chen, your best option now is to punish your subordinate severely and then go to Master Liu’s door to personally apologize!"
"Otherwise, not even the Central Liaison Departnt can guarantee your safety!" Long Tianyun said, her expression dark.
In recent years, the Alliance’s status and power had grown formidable. It could now even influence certain matters within the Central Plains Departnt’s upper echelons! It went without saying that if Liu Changyun decided to seek revenge, they wouldn’t be able to stop him even if they wanted to!
"Punish him?" Chen Zheng snorted softly. "My subordinate was only doing his duty. Why should he be punished? Cutting off his two hands was a great rcy. If I had acted personally, he wouldn’t have left here alive!"
With that, Chen Zheng walked straight toward a nearby off-road vehicle.
Long Tianyun wanted to say more, but she was rendered speechless by his arrogance!
"Commander Long, we shouldn’t interfere in this matter," Yang Chengxu said, taking the opportunity to stop her.
Yang Chengxu hadn’t shown any panic from beginning to end. He knew Chen Zheng’s identity better than anyone else! To have provoked Chen Zheng and escaped with one’s life was already incredibly fortunate. Zhao Feng’s actions were perfectly justified. These were the rules!
"How can you say that..." Long Tianyun looked at him in disbelief. What a joke. Liu Changhai is Liu Changyun’s own brother. After sothing like this, how could his elder brother possibly let it slide? If he really ca for revenge, Chen Zheng would have no chance of survival.
"Commander Long, you don’t really think he’s just a commander, do you?" Yang Chengxu shook his head with a bitter smile.
Long Tianyun was stunned for a mont, not understanding the implication. "What do you an?"
"Do you really think just anyone can lead an army and swagger about? Why haven’t you considered how a re guard at his side can be so bold and extraordinarily capable? Do you really believe a simple commander could lead his n around our Central Plains Departnt’s territory as he pleases? Do you think the top brass are just a bunch of freeloaders?"
These consecutive questions left Long Tianyun completely dumbfounded.
He had a point! If Chen Zheng were rely a commander, how could he be so imposing? It was as if he held the entire Central Plains Departnt in utter contempt! If... if the rank of Commander was just a cover for his true identity, then this man’s real identity was terrifying.
Her eyes widened in realization. "You an to say..."
So decisive, so ruthless, completely disregarding the rules... A certain person, a very terrifying person, surfaced in Long Tianyun’s mind! She was so utterly shocked that she could barely speak. If that were true, then she was the real, posturing clown...
