Not only Chen Nan.
Even Wu Jiu and the others were greatly surprised.
This was the young master of the Liang family.
One of the four great scoundrels of Tong City.
Normally, even they, the constables, would respectfully call him Young Master Liang when they saw him.
Who would have thought.
He would be beaten to a bloody mess on the street.
"Who is so bold as to commit assault on the street? Does he still have the law in his eyes?" Chen Nan's voice thundered, releasing a powerful surge of anger.
The surrounding crowd trembled in fear.
Chen Nan was already powerfully built.
Now, dressed in a constable's uniform,
He was like the embodiment of justice.
"I am the one who injured him. What can you do to me?"
Accompanied by a playful voice,
A young man in his twenties, dressed in a black robe,
With a handsome face and holding a folding fan, appeared before Chen Nan with a mocking smile.
Seeing this person.
Wu Jiu and the others' faces changed drastically.
This person's name was Liu Yu.
He was the eldest grandson of the Liu family in Tong City.
Although the Liu family was not one of the six great families,
The Liu family held hereditary titles of nobility.
It was said that the ancestor of the Liu family had made indelible contributions to the rise of Emperor Fengdu.
After Emperor Fengdu controlled Fengdu City, he bestowed upon the Liu family the title of Marquis Wenbo.
Not only that.
He even granted the Liu family a death-exemption token.
Precisely because of this.
The Liu family was a presence in Tong City that no one dared to provoke.
Even the six great families had to be polite in front of the Liu family, and even paid the Liu family ten thousand taels of gold every festival.
One could imagine how terrifying the influence of the Liu family was in Tong City.
Chen Nan snorted heavily, "Assaulting someone on the street violates the law. Come with us!"
As soon as he said this.
Liu Yu burst into laughter.
The two servants behind him cursed, "Do you think wearing a dog's skin allows you to bark at my young master?"
"A dog relying on its master's power."
"Open your dog eyes and look clearly."
"My young master is the eldest grandson of the Liu family. Even the new City Lord visited the Liu family immediately after arriving in Tong City."
"Are you sure you want to take my young master to the yamen now?"
Another person also said, "Young man, if you don't want to die, then kneel before my young master and repent."
"Only then will my young master spare your life."
"Otherwise, today will be your day of death."
Their eyes were cold, as if Chen Nan were just an ant in their eyes.
Chen Nan roared, "Even if the King of Heaven broke the law, he must accept the judgment of the law!"
Beating Liang Jian on the street.
And not taking them seriously.
It was imaginable how lawless the Liu family was.
Although he was a constable,
The constable represented the dignity of the county yamen.
The laws of the netherworld!
Liu Yu revealed a ferocious and playful smile, "You damn dog, you really don't know who I am?"
"Let alone that I merely beat Liang Jian, this waste."
"Even if I killed him on the street, no one in the county yamen would dare to try this case."
"Not only that, do you believe the Liang family patriarch will come to apologize?"
"Young Master Liu, my brother is a newcomer and doesn't recognize you. I hope you don't take it to heart," Wu Jiu said with a fawning smile, then kicked Chen Nan's butt, and angrily said, "Why aren't you quickly apologizing to Young Master Liu?"
Although he was also angry,
He dared not offend Liu Yu.
"Offending me with just an apology, do you think it's over? Violating the dignity of my Liu family requires a heavy price," Liu Yu's eyes were filled with coldness.
"You're rebelling, you son of a bitch," Chen Nan roared.
He had never seen such an arrogant and condescending fellow.
Liu Yu was furious.
He didn't expect Chen Nan to dare to curse him.
He turned and drew the long sword held by a servant, his eyes cold, "Damn it, you want to take me to the county yamen? Now I'll kill you, and let's see how you take me back."
Saying that, he stabbed towards Chen Nan.
His figure was extremely fast.
Comparable to a Houtian realm expert on Earth.
The long sword in his hand spat out a cold light.
Making one's blood run cold.
"Not good!"
Wu Jiu's pupils trembled violently, not expecting Liu Yu to draw his sword.
At this moment,
He could no longer care about anything and instantly appeared in front of Chen Nan.
Blocking that fatal sword for Chen Nan!
Puchi!
The long sword pierced Wu Jiu's chest, splashing a spray of scarlet blood.
Seeing this scene.
The street immediately erupted in screams.
Committing assault on the street was already rare.
Not to mention,
Liu Yu had killed a constable.
Song Yunfei and the others were filled with indignation.
Although their hands were on the hilts of their swords,
They dared not draw them.
It wasn't that they lacked loyalty.
But they knew that once they drew their long swords, this matter would be unresolvable.
Not only would they die,
Their families might also be killed by the Liu family.
"Young Master Liu, I will take this sword for my brother. I hope you will be merciful and spare his life." Wu Jiu's mouth was full of blood. Although this sword had pierced his chest,
It had not struck a vital spot.
Of course,
Even if he died,
He had to save Chen Nan.
He would not let his brother face danger.
Because that would not make him a qualified captain.
As a captain, he had to protect the lives of his subordinates.
Liu Yu's eyes were cold, "You ungrateful wretch, if you stop me again, believe it or not, I'll kill you too?" Saying this, he pulled out the long sword stuck in Wu Jiu's chest.
He kicked him in the abdomen.
Puchi!
Wu Jiu spat out a mouthful of blood, retreated two meters, and knelt on the ground with one knee, clutching his chest.
He coughed up blood, and weakly said, "Young Master Liu, City Lord Yuan highly appreciates my brother. Please, for City Lord Yuan's sake, spare him!"
Liu Yu was stunned.
The long sword in his hand was slowly dripping blood.
He seemed to not expect Chen Nan to have gained the favor of Yuan Zun.
Then a look of disdain appeared on his face, "So what if he has gained the appreciation of City Lord Yuan? Even if City Lord Yuan were here, he wouldn't dare to turn against me for this guy."
He was arrogant.
Arrogant and overbearing.
He didn't even put Yuan Zun in his eyes.
Chen Nan grinned, "You are indeed more arrogant than I imagined!"
Liu Yu laughed heartily, "It can't be helped, my Liu family has always been like this. After all, Tong City is our Liu family's fief. Here, we are the law."
"Even the laws of the imperial court cannot restrain our Liu family."
"Wow, you guys seem so awesome," Chen Nan said with disbelief. Then, he slowly drew the saber from his waist.
The moment the blade appeared,
A powerful saber aura instantly erupted.
Liu Yu frowned slightly, and the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger, "You damn dog, how dare you draw your saber in front of me?"
Chen Nan held the saber with one hand, gathered his energy in his dantian, and said in a cold voice, "You committed assault on the street, murdered a constable, and challenged the imperial law. For multiple crimes, today, I sentence you to death!"
Saying this, he angrily raised the saber in his hand and slashed at Liu Yu!
Puchi!
The saber rose, and the head fell!
A bloody head, under the terrified gaze of the crowd, landed on the ground...
