The lights in the villa had been turned off, and Zhao Gaohan and the others wore grim expressions.
Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao’s legs had long since gone numb. They stared at the villa with eyes full of hatred.
“Dad, they’ve all gone to bed. This is utterly disrespectful,” Young Master Zhao said angrily, enduring the numbness in his legs.
Miss Zhao sat down on the ground, her voice trembling as she asked, “Can we get up now?”
Zhao Gaohan’s patience had worn thin.
As the son of the Saber Dragon Commander, his actions today could be considered humbling.
He had shown all due respect, yet he hadn’t expected Qin Hanchu’s family to be so arrogant.
“Get up!” Zhao Gaohan said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the siblings tried to support themselves and stand, but their legs had lost all feeling.
A nearby bodyguard quickly helped them up, allowing them to sit and rest for a moment.
“What do we do now?” the youngest daughter of the Saber Dragon Commander asked.
Zhao Gaohan replied coldly, “They refused a toast, so they’ll face a punishment instead!”
“You’re going to use force?” the youngest daughter of the Saber Dragon Commander asked in surprise.
“They personally admitted to harming Xiao Jie and Xiao Shan. According to the law, they should be apprehended!”
Zhao Gaohan had initially intended to have Baili Caixia act peacefully, but he had changed his mind.
Since Qin Hanchu’s family wouldn’t accept a polite approach, he would have to resort to other means.
The youngest daughter of the Saber Dragon Commander nodded, agreeing that the divine doctor was too uncooperative.
Even the imperial physicians of the royal family wouldn’t dare to treat them with such disdain.
“Let’s go back for now and return tomorrow morning.”
Led by Zhao Gaohan, everyone departed from the villa district.
The next morning, dozens of war chariots arrived at Qin Hanchu’s doorstep.
As the car doors opened, over a hundred armed city guards aimed their weapons at the black panther at the entrance.
A moment later, Zhao Gaohan and the others arrived at the scene.
“Mr. Zhao, should we attack now?” the leader in charge of the operation asked.
“Take care of that black panther first, with tranquilizer darts.”
Even while resorting to extreme measures, Zhao Gaohan still didn’t want to go too far.
He planned to subdue the black panther with tranquilizer darts and then storm in to apprehend the divine doctor and his group.
Once they understood their predicament, they would surely be intimidated.
“Understood!” The operations leader turned and left.
A moment later, an operative raised a tranquilizer dart gun.
With permission from the operations leader, the operative decisively aimed and fired.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the black panther suddenly rose.
A black shadow vanished, and the black panther had already moved from its original position.
At the same time, the tranquilizer dart hit the ground.
“Roar…”
The black panther roared, and suddenly charged towards the person who had fired.
Seeing the black panther launch its attack, the operations leader promptly ordered, “Fire!”
*Bang bang!*
Over a dozen tranquilizer guns fired simultaneously.
These individuals were all expert marksmen, and they should have hit the black panther.
However, the black panther’s speed was too great, and all their tranquilizer darts missed.
As the black panther closed in, the operations leader immediately shouted, “Fire live rounds!”
If the black panther were allowed to charge in, there would surely be casualties.
For their safety, it was imperative to shoot the black panther.
*Bang bang…*
A volley of gunfire erupted, with dozens of bullets flying towards the black panther.
Everyone expected the black panther to be killed in the hail of bullets, but a shocking scene unfolded.
The black panther, astonishingly, charged through the barrage and into the ranks of the city guards.
And it remained unscathed, with not a single bullet wound.
“Ah!”
Even without using any mystical arts, the black panther’s sharp claws and teeth were enough to become a nightmare for these men.
The once orderly formation was thrown into disarray.
“How is this possible? Why can’t the bullets hit it?”
“Am I dreaming? It can actually block bullets?”
“Could it be that these city guards loaded the wrong bullets?”
“No, they wouldn’t make such a rookie mistake!”
“Quick, get out of here! These city guards can’t handle this black panther.”
Under the gaze of Zhao Gaohan and the others, city guards fell one by one into pools of blood.
Although the bullets fired by these men could not harm the black panther, their act of shooting had revealed their killing intent towards it.
As a celestial beast of the Immortal King realm, how could the black panther stand idly by?
“Retreat!” the operations leader yelled in terror.
The city guards began to retreat while still firing their weapons.
“Ah…”
A city guard was sent flying over ten meters by the black panther, crashing heavily onto the ground.
This scene once again shocked everyone.
“A demonic beast! This is a legendary demonic beast!”
“Run!”
The war chariots began to flee, not even having time to retrieve the bodies of their fallen comrades.
The black panther opened its maw, and a ball of dark flame engulfed the corpses on the ground.
In an instant, the bodies and bloodstains on the ground vanished, turning into ashes.
“What… what in the world is going on?”
“I must be dreaming! It can actually breathe fire?”
Zhao Gaohan, looking through the rear window of the vehicle, saw this scene and muttered in stunned silence.
It wasn’t just him; many others turned to witness it.
For them, the sight was as unbelievable as encountering a ghost.
A black panther that could breathe fire?
And moments ago, it had been impervious to gunfire. Everything was utterly astonishing.
Inside the villa, Qin Hanchu and the other two witnessed it all.
The black panther’s counterattack had been carried out with their tacit approval.
“This incident will surely alert the royal family here. We’ll face bigger troubles next,” Xiangxiang said.
Qin Hanchu smiled and replied, “There’s more than one dynasty in this small world. Let’s move to another dynasty and continue our adventures.”
Baili Caixia, however, commented, “There’s no need for such trouble. We won’t be staying here for long anyway.”
Qin Hanchu nodded. “That’s true. After a little more time, it’ll be time to leave.”
“Let’s go. Today, we’ll visit a different scenic spot.”
The three of them walked out of the villa together. Qin Hanchu opened a portal, allowing the black panther to enter.
Half an hour later, Zhao Gaohan and the others stopped their vehicles by the roadside.
They were still shaken, the scene from earlier replaying in their minds.
Who exactly was this divine doctor?
Even his pet was “invulnerable” and could spew black flames!
Could this be a legendary deity?
Or perhaps an alien!
Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao’s faces were pale with fear. It was no wonder they dared to disregard the Saber Dragon Commander.
This was truly terrifying.
“This matter must be reported to the royal family.” Zhao Gaohan no longer dared to provoke Qin Hanchu’s family rashly. He quickly took out his phone to call his eldest brother.
The eldest son of the Saber Dragon Commander held a second-rank official position in the dynasty, giving him the privilege of a private audience with the royal family.
“What did you say? An invulnerable black panther? That can also spew black flames?”
“Have you been drinking?”
Upon hearing Zhao Gaohan’s report, the eldest son of the Zhao family frowned and exclaimed.
“When have you ever seen me drunk? Hundreds of people witnessed this. How could it be fake?”
“Also, there are surveillance cameras in the villa district. I’ll send you the footage later!”
Zhao Gaohan said excitedly, still shaken.
