Chapter Seventeen: The Law Enforcement Officer

  The whole room burst out laughing, all of them were ridiculing Wu Qi's ignorant and rude behavior.

  Don't gnash your teeth at the deer's tendons, coldly staring at that burly man. He clearly saw the triumphant look in Officer Yi Xing's eyes, and he suddenly understood that even if he hadn't been rude, this big fellow would still get up and provoke him. His own behavior had given others a perfectly reasonable excuse to provoke him.

  He cast a cold glance at the big man, then glared at the county official, and without saying a word, he stuffed another piece of bear paw into his mouth.

  Chewing on bear paws, he coldly sneered with a muffled tone: "I eat mine, what's it to you?"

  The crowd burst out laughing again, and the rough words of the beggar gave them another good reason to mock him. The provocative big man proudly raised his head and laughed loudly: "Indeed a mountain forest person, doesn't understand etiquette. I really don't know how you mixed in here!"

  Suddenly, Lu Chengfeng let out a light cough.

  A cough, and the room fell silent. Even Yi Yan, who had just been laughing so hard that his body was about to fly apart, hastily closed his mouth.

  Lu Chengfeng slowly stood up, gazing coldly at the crowd with a low and powerful voice: "Don't beg for mercy, Lu Chengfeng's lifesaver has been killed by assassins outside the city. Now he is Lu Chengfeng's first guest, brought here to attend the banquet by Lu Chengfeng himself. What are your opinions?"

  Apart from Yi Yan and his three clansmen, all the other officials, big or small, lowered their heads at the same time, not daring to look at Lu Chengfeng.

  Lu Chengfeng smiled faintly and also picked up his chopsticks, picking up a few pieces of meat and stuffing them into his mouth, chewing with abandon.

  "Lu went through a lot of hardships on his journey and was deeply moved by the fine wine and delicious food, so he lost his manners and ate a few pieces. Does anyone have any objections?"

  The hall was quiet, with no one daring to speak. Even the timid officials were trembling with fear, causing the tables in front of them to knock against the floor, making a crisp sound. Lu Chengfeng's words had such power, it had reached this point.

  Yi Yan shook his big head, looked left and right, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Ah, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Lu Dianjun is a true romantic, haha, we don't need to care about these trivial matters. Ah, misunderstanding, it's all just misunderstandings! Everyone eat freely, drink freely, whoever doesn't get drunk tonight and come back, isn't giving me Yi Yan face!"

  Lu Chengfeng smiled and sat back in his seat, holding up a wine goblet of fine wine to toast Mo Qi.

  He grabbed the wine jug and clinked it with Lu Chengfeng, and laughed as he ate and drank: "Thanks a lot, young master! You're really thoughtful!"

  He raised his wine goblet, and with a swift motion, he downed the fine wine in one gulp. Then, with a sudden movement, he flipped over the table and threw the wine goblet at the burly man who had been provoking him. The incident happened so suddenly that the big man was still standing there in a daze when the bronze wine goblet heavily smashed into his face, causing his high-bridged nose to sink inward.

  With a "crack", the big man let out a loud cry of pain, and two columns of blood shot out of his nose like a fountain.

  Don't lift your hand to point at that man, he hooked his finger and sneered: "Whose pants didn't zip up tight, exposing you? I eat my own, I drink my own, you provoke me for no reason, what do you want to do? Is it that your master wants to give my young master a warning?"

  Yi Yan's smile suddenly froze, and then his smile burst out again on his face.

  The official, Lu Dianjun, glared at him and said coldly: "How can this be? How could I, the official, provoke General Lu without reason? How dare I provoke General Lu without reason? It's just that my guest has a straightforward temperament, upholding etiquette and morality, and cannot tolerate some things."

  Lu Chengfeng, who was playing with a bronze wine vessel beside him, sneered: "So, it seems that the guests of the Lu family don't understand etiquette and are naturally inferior?"

  Yi Hang's face changed color, but he didn't say a word, obviously defaulting to Lu Chengfeng's words.

  Lu Chengfeng's face suddenly turned ugly, he coldly gazed at Yi Xing and sneered: "Don't beg for mercy, since you have this intention, then compete with this good fellow, don't lose the face of our Lu family from Liyang!"

  Yi Yan picked up his wine cup and took a sip of wine, without saying a word.

  Yi Xing stood up straight, puffed out his chest and shouted loudly: "A Da, Lu Dianjun has already said so, you must also have a good competition with Wu Qiangzhong. Don't lose the face of our Mushang Yi family!"

  The hall was quiet, and all the officials did not dare to make a sound. Things had developed to this point, and suddenly it became a contest of prestige between the Lu and Yi families. How was this play going to be played? The officials present were cautious, observing each other's expressions, not daring to make any noise. This matter involved the two great aristocratic families, and if these small officials in this remote city got entangled, it would be a disaster that would destroy their families!

  But deep down, these officials had a few unusual impulses. The young masters of the wealthy families fought each other with their door guests, and this was something they had heard about many times before, but today was the first time they had seen it, and they couldn't help but feel excited!

  Especially Lu Chengfeng represents the Yu Yang Lu family, which is the first family of the current Lü Guo besides the royal family. If Lu Chengfeng's only door guest was killed here, heh, what would the Lu family do? If the Lu family's revenge comes straight to Yi Yan and others, perhaps the officialdom of Xiaomeng City will be shuffled once, and everyone will have a chance to rise up!

  Only a sneer was heard, and Ah Da walked out with big strides, brandishing two small wine jar-sized fists at Wu Qi. Wu Qi looked up at Ah Da's robust body, which was at least two heads taller than himself, but just shook his head disdainfully.

  Anyone could see that Wu Qi didn't take Ah Da seriously. Ah Da's face changed, and he roared in anger: "What kind of soldier are you?"

  "Don't beg for mercy," he said with a cold smile, raising his two hands. "Do I need a weapon to deal with you?"

  Wu Qi's hands were very slender, with a bronze-colored skin that still showed the blue veins underneath. No matter how you looked at it, these hands didn't seem to have much strength either. The several martial generals below looked at Wu Qi's hands and shook their heads simultaneously.

  A'Da stared blankly at Wu Qi's hands, and couldn't help but sneer. Without saying a word, he threw a punch at Wu Qi. A'Da's muscles bulged, his fist tearing through the air with a dull whooshing sound. The crowd only caught a glimpse of a fleeting fist shadow before it pierced through Wu Qi's skull.

  A cry of surprise echoed through the hall, followed by a mournful howl.

  A large amount of blood spurted out, and the originally steady Mo Qi was now standing in Ah Da's previous position, as if his skull had been smashed. Meanwhile, Ah Da, who had just been showing off his prowess, was now lying on the ground with his mouth bleeding profusely.

  Among the people present, only a few saw clearly what had just happened.

  Ah Da had just swung his fist, and Wu Qi's body moved. He was like a slippery loach that slipped out of one's hands, instantly dodging behind Ah Da. Then he struck with both palms like windmills, launching a flurry of chaotic chops and strikes at Ah Da's back. In an instant, he had chopped thirty-six times at Ah Da's back.

  The Great Winding Silk Hand and the Small Star Plucking Palm were linked together, and without asking, they stole a thread of blood gas essence from Ah Da's body, and also greatly replenished their own qi and blood. The True Water Spirit Seal transformed into a strand of bone-eroding, formless, yin-yang energy that poured into Ah Da's body, shattering his five organs and six viscera.

  A'Da's internal organs were all smashed, and the blood that sprayed from his mouth still had several pieces of internal organs. He let out a miserable howl and fell to the ground dead. The many guests present all cried out in shock, and Yi Hang's face turned extremely ugly for a moment. His two hands heavily slammed onto the table in front of him, smashing the wine jug and bowls into pieces all over the floor.

  Lu Chengfeng burst out laughing and beckoned to Wu Qi with a wave of his hand: "Wu Qi, you won cleanly and beautifully! Come on, I'll give you a good start!"

  With a touch of his palm at his waist, Lu Chengfeng took out a red and yellow ancient jade pendant with colorful patterns and handed it to Wu Qi. Wu Qi narrowed her eyes, took the jade pendant without hesitation, and thanked Lu Chengfeng lightly. As soon as she held the jade pendant in her hand, Wu Qi had already discerned its material, which was actually a piece of fire and earth dual-natured spiritual jade with the effect of driving away coldness and dust, and it was indeed a rare good thing.

  Moreover, this jade pendant also contains a strong earth and fire attribute spiritual energy, unfortunately it has already been deeply entangled with the jade pendant. Alas, even if Xi Qi has barely cultivated the "Water Source Chapter", he still can't absorb this spiritual energy from the jade pendant to use for himself.

  He tucked the jade pendant into his waistband, and then picked up a wine jug from the desk of an official next to him and took a sip. He gazed coldly at Yi Hang Dao: "Governor, do you have any further instructions? A rustic fellow like myself, Wu Qi, awaits your guidance!"

  Lu Chengfeng smiled and raised his wine glass to toast Mo Qi from afar, but he didn't say a word, not intending to stop Mo Qi's provocation at all. He just wanted to use Mo Qi's hands to establish his authority, letting some people in Xiaomeng City know that Lu Chengfeng was not so easy to bully.

  Playing with his wine glass, Lu Chengfeng glanced sideways at Yi Yan sitting in the president's seat.

  Yi Yan was playing with a piece of jade pendant, smiling silently, his snow-white skin reflecting the lantern's light, which was particularly eye-catching.

  Yi Xing was panting with rage, venting his anger at the wooden table, and glared fiercely at Lu Chengfeng, who had a calm and composed demeanor. Suddenly, he burst out laughing coldly: "Ah Er, your big brother has been killed, why don't you go invite Mr. Wu Qi to give some guidance?"

  A man over ten feet tall, thin as a rake, slowly got up and walked to the front of Wu Qi. This man's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Ah Da, but he was really too thin to be frightening, as if all his vital energy had been sucked away by some external object.

  He had just exchanged a glance with him, and suddenly felt a surge of evil energy rushing towards him, making him feel uneasy all over. The true water spirit ring on his arms instinctively accelerated its rotation speed, a cool water vapor circulated throughout his body, and a layer of soft and flexible protective ring was laid under his skin.

  "I am Ah Er, you killed my big brother! My skills are no match for yours, but you must die!"

  Ah Er, as thin as a bamboo pole, gazed at Wu Qi with cold eyes and muttered a sentence in a chilly tone.

  He glanced at Er Two, about two zhang away, and pressed out a palm. The silk hand suddenly moved, and the real water spirit ring formed an invisible vortex in his palm. The air in front of his palm suddenly became blurry, and the air within several zhangs around him rapidly rotated, emitting a faint whistling sound.

  Many officials under the hall straightened their waists and looked at Wu Qi's move in surprise.

  Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, with an uncontrollable surprise in his gaze.

  "Ha! This guest I picked up halfway, actually has such a skill? With the aura emanating from his body, he can stir up the surrounding heaven and earth's unusual energy. This is already the cultivation of nearing the Innate Realm from the Acquired Realm. Heh heh, if he can enter the Innate Realm, it would be a great help to me!"

  Lu Chengfeng's mind was racing as he secretly calculated how to truly make Wu Qi his reliable door guest.

  Don't beg, just gaze at Er Two, the palm force is getting stronger and stronger, the air vortex in front of you is getting more and more turbulent, gradually the air changes color, with a hint of pale blue, a cold water aura that is contained but not released, vaguely covering Er Two.

  The palm of his hand suddenly expanded and contracted, the swirling vortex burst open, and dozens of pale blue wind ribbons wrapped around Ah Er's body with a breaking sound. Once bound by these wind ribbons, unless one's cultivation was higher than Wu Qi's, it would be impossible to escape.

  The Great Wrap Hand is the secret technique of the Heaven-Stealing Door, although it only stole the foundation method from the classics, it is already a fierce kung fu that ordinary people in the world can't see.

  Looking at the wind rope that was coming straight at him, Ah Er's face changed slightly, and a hint of horror suddenly appeared in his eyes. He could no longer muster up the courage to confront Wu Qi head-on, and with a flick of his sleeve, a white three-inch short sword whizzed out.
