Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 12: How Can My Rage Be Placated?

The battle temporarily halted. Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Tianci.

Fang Chen, what are you doing? Xiao Tianci glared at Fang Chen. Uncertainty flickered in the depths of his eyes, as he struggled to understand what was going on.

He has lied low for five years now, but he suddenly led a group of misfits to attack our Greenpine Superior Dojo?

He thought that the people with Fang Chen were no more than a group of weak misfits, whom he could easily deal with by himself. His strength as a third stage Ki Control expert was not just for show. A single Ki Control expert could rival a thousand soldiers on the battlefield!

I know Wolf Marshall Xiao dispatched you to our capital to reach out to unstable elements and scheme with them, but I have turned a blind eye to it, since those fellows cant shake us. Fang Chen sighed. But you should have kept a rein on your people and keep them from acting as they pleased in our capital.

You have a lot to say for a defeated general, Xiao Tianci sneered. Youll be the young master of our Xiao Clan soon. Ill let you off on our young miss account. Take your men and leave, and I wont report this matter to your emperor.

A loud voice suddenly boomed, Dojo Master Xiao, whos so brazen as to cause trouble here? Dont worry! I, Li Huang, will slaughter him!

The crowd looked over and saw a chubby young man strutting out. He was accompanied by a few decently strong guards.

Why is he here? You Longchang frowned.

Li Huang, like Fang Chen, was the nephew of one of the emperors consorts, which meant he was a relative of the imperial family.

Fang Chen?! West Tiger Barracks You Longchang? Li Huangs footsteps screeched to a halt. Fear flickered across his eyes, but there was also a hint of resentment in their depths.

Young master Li, leave this matter to me, Xiao Tianci said with a smile.

S-sure, Dojo Master Xiao. You can resolve it.

Li Huang backed down right away. He stood by the side and eyed Fang Chen. He couldnt understand why Fang Chen, a cripple, would suddenly appear in the Greenpine Superior Dojo.

Fang Chen, you should leave, Xiao Tianci said.

You Longchang frowned in worry. The excited Great Xia civilians were intimidated as well. They knew the person standing before them was a third stage Ki Control expert!

The Greenpine Superior Dojo has three Ki Control experts, two early stage and one middle stage, fifteen pinnacle Ki Explosion, and 1032 martial artists, Fang Chen said.

The crowd gasped in shock.

They hadnt known that Greenpine Superior Dojo was so powerful. There were only around ten pinnacle Ki Explosion martial artists in the entire Great Xias capital! As for Ki Control experts, there were hardly any of them left after that battle five years ago.

And this is just their martial dojo. Just how many experts does the Greenpine Country have? The crowd wondered.

Xiao Tianci was astounded too. He hadnt expected the other party to accurately list out the number of martial artists Greenpine Country had in Great Xia. If they rallied all of the martial artists under their command, they could even stage a mini war.

It might even be possible for them to stomp Great Xias imperial palace!

An ominous feeling welled up in Xiao Tiancis heart. I thought Fang Chen had given up since he went silent for five years, but those words showed that he has been keeping an eye all along!

War God Fang, whats your reason for coming here today? Dont forget that youll soon be marrying into our Xiao Clan! Xiao Tianci threatened.

You havent heard yet? Celestial Xiao has already left the capital, Fang Chen said with a laugh.

She has left the capital? Xiao Tianci was startled, as he hadnt received news about that.

You dont know? It doesnt matter. It doesnt change what Im about to do, Fang Chen said.

With a fling of his sleeves, a lightning bolt fell on Xiao Tianci. A third stage Ki Control expert was roasted to crisp just like that.

Ah!

Gasps could be heard all around.

You Longchang was shaken up despite having witnessed this scene before. The surrounding civilians were utterly bewildered, though some of them looked at Fang Chen in admiration.

As expected of War God Fang. He has never admitted defeat!

These people were so excited that they were tempted to howl their feelings out.

One down. Two more to go, Fang Chen murmured. Commander You, kill them. Dont let a single one of the Greenpine martial artists here escape.

Yes sir! You Longchang roared with reddened eyes.

He charged at the Greenpine martial artists, who were struggling to come to terms with their dojo masters death. There was no retreat for him. He was now Fang Chens sword. Wherever Fang Chen pointed, he would slaughter.

No, thats impossible How could he be Hes a Ki Control expert! How could Fang Chen kill him in a single move?! Did he recover his martial cultivation? What was that lightning?!

Li Huangs face paled in horror. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He trembled as he watched You Longchang slaughter Greenpine martial artists.

Li Huang, lets reminisce about the past, Fang Chen threw these words to Li Huang before heading deeper into the Greenpine Superior Dojo.

Li Huang turned ghastly pale. He glanced at the chaotic surroundings around him before hurriedly following Fang Chen with clenched jaws.

You have gotten close with Xiao Tianci over the years, Fang Chen said as he walked.

Li Huang squeezed out a smile. We arent that close. I just often come here to train.

There was a brief pause before Li Huang tried to probe, War God Fang, therell be an uproar once the imperial court learns that you have killed Xiao Tianci. His Majesty might punish you for this

Why would His Majesty punish me for killing Greenpine martial artists? Fang Chen asked with an enigmatic smile.

I-itll evoke Greenpine Countrys wrath! How many people in our Great Xia will have to die to appease their anger? Li Huang exclaimed.

How many of Greenpine Countrys civilians do you think ought to die to appease my anger? Fang Chen returned the question.

By then, he had arrived at the Greenpine Superior Dojos rear courtyard. The Greenpine martial artists here appeared to be oblivious to the chaos outside. Quite a few of them were feasting on meat and alcohol with their tops bare. From time to time, they would point at the targets in the distance and mock them.

In the distance, there were dozens of targetslive targets bound in place. All of them were civilians of Great Xia!

Li Huang, its nothing much, right? Whats there to worry about when our dojo master is here? Its your turn now. I shot that lowly peasant in the forehead with just one arrow. You have to do the same, or else youd have lost the bet. Thatd be a thousand silver taels, thanks! one of the Greenpine martial artists merrily waved at Li Huang.

The others burst into laughter. Li Huang had lost quite a lot of silver taels here in recent years, so they saw him as a plump fish waiting to be harvested.

That reminded Li Huang of Fang Chens earlier words, and his face warped in shock. His body was trembling more and more intensely.

You havent answered my question yet. How can I placate my rage? Fang Chen asked as he looked at the dead corpses tied upright as live targets.
