Wei Chen muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible, but the Bald Woman instantly lifted her head, staring intently at him with a terrifying gaze. Yet, her lips curled into a sinister smile as she said, "You find me disgusting, don't you, Ghost Head?"
"Uh... Senior, you've misunderstood. How could I dare to offend you?" Wei Chen quickly corrected himself, bowing and ingratiating himself before the Bald Woman.
His demeanor was equally repulsive.
"Hmph, you're still somewhat clever. I like that. I'll reward you with a sip of milk."
The Bald Woman sneered, and in an instant, she moved right in front of Wei Chen, her hands gripping his neck tightly as she forcefully pressed his head down toward her drooping bosom.
"Paralyze! I finally understand what it means to be killed rather than humiliated. I'm done for!"
As he felt his mouth nearing the yellowed flesh, Wei Chen's killing intent surged. His entire Soul Power erupted suddenly, and terrifying force shot from the tips of his fingers, striking the Bald Woman's abdomen.
The Bald Woman was momentarily stunned, then looked down at her belly in disbelief. She saw ten bloody holes gushing blood; before she could comprehend what had happened, her pupils dilated rapidly, and she collapsed dead on the spot.
Wei Chen's finger strike contained a significant amount of toxins absorbed from the Brahma Flower Soul. Any hit would be devastating.
From the moment the Bald Woman lunged to grab Wei Chen's neck to when he retaliated with the Silent Extinction Finger, barely two blinks of an eye had passed!
The Short and Fat Old Man, Iron Hammer Man, and Bamboo Pole Horse Face Man all stared in disbelief at the fallen Bald Woman. When their gazes shifted back to Wei Chen, six cold glances filled with terrifying killing intent pierced through him, making his forehead ache.
"Kill him!"
"Avenging the Old Woman!"
"Kill!"
Three people roared as they charged at Wei Chen, but the skilled guards of the Warship reacted quickly. At this point, there was no room for retreat; they could only fight desperately!
These four individuals had encountered them several times before, each time leaving behind a toll to continue on their way. In the Ling Sheng Dynasty, such incidents were commonplace. Even some highly influential figures occasionally indulged in a few robberies, seeking the twisted thrill of it.
Because of this, when the Warship Guards rushed onto the deck and saw the four, they felt no fear—only a desire to pay off their troubles. However, before they could speak, Wei Chen caught sight of the Bald Woman's disgusting scene and couldn't help but voice his thoughts, triggering a change in events.
All four were high-level Spirit Realm practitioners, while the Warship's Six Guards were also in the Spirit Realm, albeit at the fourth or fifth level. Two of them might not even be able to defeat one of the attackers, and they had to consider the safety of the Warship. Thus, paying off their troubles was the best option.
At that moment, with the Bald Woman dead beyond recovery, the Warship Guards understood this was an opportunity!
Six against three; two engaged one in battle as chaos erupted above the Warship.
Meanwhile, Wei Chen stealthily crawled into a corner at the edge of the deck, frantically absorbing Soul Power. As the Soul Power condensed, five streams of energy shot from his right hand towards the nearest target—the Short and Fat Old Man.
The Short and Fat Old Man was locked in fierce combat with two guards when suddenly, he felt a surge of energy strike his chest. He had no time to react and could only block with his palm, instantly creating five bloody holes in his hands.
"Bastard! I'll take your life!"
Furious, the Short and Fat Old Man disregarded his two pursuers and took several hits from Soul Techniques on his back as he was propelled toward Wei Chen.
Wei Chen narrowed his eyes with a cold smile; he had been waiting for this moment!
Five powerful streams of energy shot from his left hand just as the old man's palm was about to strike his heart. The energy pierced through the old man's chest first.
However, the old man's final blow still landed solidly on Wei Chen's chest, shattering several ribs.
The two pursuing Warship Guards gave Wei Chen a thumbs-up before quickly joining in on the assault against Bamboo Pole Horse Face Man and Iron Hammer Man. Despite their ferocity, even those two could not withstand being surrounded by six attackers and soon found themselves at a disadvantage.
On the deck of the Warship, many Soul Warriors had gathered, including Wu Yi and his four subordinates. Seeing Wei Chen spitting blood and looking weak, Wu Yi's face was filled with glee.
"Well, well, well, isn't this the big shot who could slay dozens of Fourth-Rank Monsters? What's wrong? Spitting blood after being beaten?" Wu Yi approached Wei Chen, looking down at him with undisguised mockery and disdain.
Wei Chen was busy gathering Soul Power to heal his wounds. He rolled his eyes and weakly pointed at the corpses of the Bald Woman and the Short and Fat Old Man. "I can't be bothered to argue with a mad dog. You'd better get lost, or I'll kill you too."
"Kill me too? Hahaha! First of all, do you even have the right to threaten me? And those two Brutes—did you really think you killed them?"
Wu Yi's words drew scornful looks from the crowd, who looked down on Wei Chen. His empty bravado was shameless; how could a mere Fate Soul Realm Level Two dare to imply he had killed two Spirit Realm Brutes?
These four Brutes were no ordinary foes. The leader was the Short and Fat Old Man, whom others referred to as 'Big Brother.' The Bamboo Pole Horse Face Man was known as Second Brother, Iron Hammer Man as Third Brother, and Bald Woman as Old Woman. They were notorious in Jinling City for their ruthless ways, having committed numerous murders and thefts. Some present had even faced them directly and suffered greatly.
Now, a frail youth claiming to have killed Big Brother and Old Woman was nothing short of laughable.
At that moment, the six elite members of the Warship Guards had finally managed to take down Second Brother and Third Brother. Though they were injured themselves, they landed on the deck to recuperate.
Everyone noticed that the elite members of the Warship Guards had formed a circle around the weak Wei Chen, protecting him at the center.
What did this action imply? Who could guess its meaning?
The onlookers were not foolish; thus, no one continued to regard Wei Chen with scornful eyes.
Of course, Wu Yi was an exception.
Wu Yi arrogantly looked at Wei Chen and the surrounding Six Guards, pointing and sneering. "You Feathered Pavilion people are really going downhill. In recent years, you haven't produced anything new but instead have a mysteriously weak kid as your bodyguard? Is he perhaps your leader's illegitimate son?"
Wu Yi continued to sneer, even cursing Ming Hong, the Master of Sky Bird Pavilion and owner of all Warships and other flying devices within Eryuan City.
Few dared to mock Ming Hong within the confines of Eryuan City.
People couldn't help but speculate about the background of this well-groomed young man. Those who barely knew Wu Yi assumed he was merely the son of a wealthy merchant.
However, it was clear that things were far more complicated than that. The Feathered Pavilion wielded immense power, with hundreds of Warships under its command, all raking in profits. Some of these Warships even boasted Soul Technique attacks for defense against enemies. For Wu Yi to speak so boldly, his background must be quite formidable.
The Six Guards, despite their injuries and needing to recuperate, could not remain silent upon hearing Wu Yi's words. They rose in unison, glaring at him.
"Young Master Wu, please show some respect. Our leader's character does not require your judgment."
"This brother's lineage is not something you can tarnish."
"We ask Young Master Wu to return and rest, and refrain from speaking ill, lest we disturb the peace between our families."
The Six Guards were relatively polite towards Wu Yi, yet everyone speculated about his identity. Clearly, the Warship Guards of the Feathered Pavilion did not dare to offend Wu Yi lightly. Were there any prominent families with the surname Wu in Eryuan City?
As everyone pondered this, Wu Yi sneered again, "If he weren't your leader's illegitimate son, why would you all be gathered around him? Does that boy possess any qualities worthy of your protective instincts?"
"This brother killed Old Woman in an instant and also took down Da Ye. Old Man witnessed it firsthand—do you believe it or not, Young Master Wu?"
A voice called out, and Wu Yi turned to see Zhu, the Shopkeeper from Fuyuan Trading Company.
Seemingly recalling something, Wu Yi's expression darkened as he reluctantly cupped his fist towards Zhu. "You can't be joking about that boy, can you? With his meager strength, could he really have killed Old Woman?"
Zhu's esteemed reputation lent credibility to his words, and the crowd believed him. However, with Wu Yi's inquiry, they cast scrutinizing glances at Wei Chen once more. Perhaps those looks were tinged with jealousy and fear.
A youth who appeared no older than seventeen or eighteen capable of killing a Spirit Realm Expert was certainly not someone to provoke!
The members of the Feathered Pavilion and the Warship Guards, who had never had the chance to clarify the facts, spoke up at this moment: "That Bald Bitch was taken down by this brother here. If it weren't for him, how could we dare to take action against the Four Great Villains?"
"In the past, it was always a million taels as a toll. This time, after eliminating the Four Great Villains, our Feathered Pavilion has significantly reduced its losses. Once we reach Eryuan City, we will definitely report this matter to the Master of the Pavilion and express our gratitude to this friend for his assistance."
"Brother, what is your name? When we arrive in Eryuan City, please come visit us at the Feathered Pavilion. Rest assured, you will be completely safe there."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and Wu Yi's face turned ashen, his hands trembling slightly behind his back.
What a disgrace! A naked disgrace!
Since being sent to Eryuan City for training two years ago until he met Wei Chen, he had been smooth sailing. Although he didn't have much wealth to squander freely, he never lacked for money; while he didn't have any stunningly beautiful women to toy with, there were always lovely ladies to warm his bed; and though not everyone respected or feared him, those who knew his true identity would always show him some deference.
But this time, being slapped in the face twice by the young man before him ignited a murderous rage in Wu Yi that spread across his cheeks and into his eyes. A chilling aura emanated from him, causing those around him to quietly step back.
"I will kill you! Once we reach Eryuan City, no matter where you hide, you won't survive a day!" The anger burning in Wu Yi's heart consumed what little rationality he had left. Having never endured humiliation or even been looked down upon before, how could Wu Yi bear such frustration?
Wei Chen met Wu Yi's cold gaze without fear of the murderous intent. He grinned widely, a warm smile spreading across his face like a spring breeze—innocent yet radiant with sunlight and charm—as if his smile illuminated the entire night sky.
"My name is Wei Chen."
