Looks of panic spread across the faces of everyone present. They had never imagined this young man could be so ruthless! Did he truly have no regard for the Nanzhou Royal Family? Could this young man really possess the strength to annihilate the entire Nanzhou Royal Family?
"My god, a woman from the Nanzhou Royal Family, and he's… Does this young man not want to live anymore!"
"This kid really doesn't want to live!"
"I bet his entire clan is going to be wiped out very soon!"
"It looks that way!"
"Alas… this world is too pitiful. The rich always enjoy toying with the emotions of the weak. He thinks he controls the lives and deaths of everyone, yet he fails to see that he's no different!"
"Sigh!"
Sighing, everyone shook their heads, their faces filled with pity. The mbers of the Nanzhou Royal Family were even more terrified, trembling uncontrollably with looks of pure horror on their faces.
"You dare touch my woman? You're seeking death!"
At that mont, a furious shout rang out! A figure swept into the room—a middle-aged man in black.
The man's gaze shifted, locking onto Chen Zheng. A hint of greed flashed in his eyes. This young man is exceptionally handso, and his cultivation is heaven-defying. What a delicious piece of fresh at!
"Haha! You must be Chen Zheng! I didn't expect you to be so clever, hiding in a corner to act tough. In that case, you can die today!" the man in black said, his eyes growing cold as he stepped forward.
The next second, a gigantic fla palm struck towards Chen Zheng!
BOOM!
The might of this strike was world-shaking! Space collapsed, mountains shattered, and the void crumbled! The powerful cultivators watching from all sides felt their hearts nearly leap out of their chests. This scene was too horrifying! Although the man in black was only in the Qi Refinent stage, the power of his single palm strike far surpassed that of a peak expert at the sa level!
"Hmph! Pathetically weak!" the man in black sneered, not even using his full strength.
BOOM!
The strike landed squarely on Chen Zheng's shoulder!
CRACK!
The next mont, the crisp sound of breaking bone echoed!
The man in black stared at Chen Zheng's shoulder, suddenly stunned.
This… how is this possible? This brat's shoulder blade is completely unhard! He has the Golden Bell Shield protective technique!
"Hmm? The Golden Bell Shield!" The man's pupils shrank as a greedy expression appeared on his face. This little brat's Golden Bell Shield must have over a thousand layers! Such a treasure! I must take it for myself!
"Haha! Kid, I told you! In this world, I am the strongest Qi Refinent practitioner! You could never defeat !" the man in black laughed arrogantly.
At that mont, Chen Zheng slowly closed his eyes, and a vast Primordial Spirit energy instantly surged forth!
"What!"
"Not good!"
"Quick, run!"
Seeing this, the expressions of the onlookers changed instantly, and they scattered in a mad panic.
"You bunch of ants!" Chen Zheng sneered.
"No, please don't kill ! I'm willing to be your slave! I'll serve you for a hundred years! As long as you don't kill , I'll do anything! Whatever you ask, I'll do it!"
Seeing those people frantically fleeing, the woman's face turned pale with fright. In that mont, she wished she could prostrate herself on the spot.
"Too late," Chen Zheng said indifferently as his Primordial Spirit energy coalesced into a palm.
SMACK!
The palm struck the woman's face heavily, sending her tumbling to the ground.
PFFT!
The next mont, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining the snow-white bedsheets red. The woman lay on the ground, staring at Chen Zheng in utter shock.
"You are the chief examiner of the third trial. You wield great power. I don't want to kill you, because I'm quite curious to see what kind of person the chief examiner of these three trials really is. I wonder what kind of surprise an examiner from a place like this can offer ," Chen Zheng said with a cold smile.
"Impossible! That's impossible! He can't be the chief examiner of the third trial! He's just a new student; he can't participate in the three trials!" the woman shrieked frantically, her eyes wide as she stared at Chen Zheng.
"I don't want to hear your nonsense. Get out!" Chen Zheng glanced at the woman.
"I… I'll get out… I'll get out right now…" Trembling, the woman scrambled to her feet and hurried out the door.
「.....」
"Master Chen, we should go," an onlooker said quickly, glancing at Chen Zheng.
"No rush."
"We haven't seen that woman yet," Chen Zheng replied, shaking his head lightly.
Hearing Chen Zheng's tone, everyone imdiately understood that he wanted to et the second female chief examiner from the Nanzhou Royal Family. At this thought, they all couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seems this Master Chen isn't such a bad person after all! As long as he's not a demon, then this woman won't be his type! the crowd murmured to themselves.
"You… you're not really going to kill , are you?" the female chief examiner stamred, trembling with every step, her face a mask of intense fear.
"I said I would *consider* sparing your life," Chen Zheng remarked nonchalantly, giving her a glance.
"Thank you… thank you, Master Chen… Thank you… thank you, Master Chen…"
The female chief examiner instantly burst into tears. She truly thought she was going to die. She had been absolutely certain of it. Her father was an expert at the peak of the Qi Refinent realm! She had thought that no matter how monstrously talented this Chen Zheng was, there had to be a limit! But now, not only was her life spared, but she actually had a chance to survive. It felt like a dream.
"What's your na?" Chen Zheng asked, looking at the woman.
The woman was stunned for a mont before snapping back to her senses. She quickly replied, "I… my na is Zhao Yui!"
"Hmm, that's a nice na, but I don't recall anyone nad Zhao Yui in this city," Chen Zheng nodded.
.....
Zhao Yui! Her mother had given her that na, a na her father had always found unpleasant. But now, Zhao Yui felt a sharp sense of ridicule. She was filled with hatred. She hated this Chen Zheng. She hated how he treated her life as if it were worthless grass.
"I… I don't bla you… really… I only hope I might have the chance to follow you, Master Chen," Zhao Yui said, bowing her head ekly.
"Heh."
"Do you think I have any interest in you?"
"Let tell you sothing. Don't think for a second I fancy you. Just because you're a woman doesn't an you're qualified to stay by my side! If you dare to try any tricks, I'll burn you to ashes with a single thought!"
"You are not worthy to follow !"
Chen Zheng scoffed and turned to leave.
"Master Chen, please wait!"
Seeing Chen Zheng turn to walk away, Zhao Yui's face whitened with fright, and she called out in a panic.
"What do you want?" Chen Zheng paused, his gaze sweeping over Zhao Yui.
"I… I truly want to repay your kindness. Master Chen, you don't need to be wary. I just want to follow you. I swear I have no ulterior motives!" Zhao Yui insisted through gritted teeth.
"Oh? Well then, I will permit you to be my servant girl," Chen Zheng said after a mont's thought, nodding in agreent.
"What? A servant girl?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yui was stunned. Not just her, but everyone in the vicinity was dumbfounded.
A servant girl! She held such a noble status, yet he would reduce her to such a lowly existence! This young man… he actually told Zhao Yui to beco a servant girl!
This… this… this was simply profane!
"No! Th-that's impossible!"
An expression of agony crossed Zhao Yui's face.
