Chapitre 30: 30 Yue Shan!
Zhang Xuan's gaze was fixed in the direction of the Huang Family; currently, the entire Huang Family was surrounded on two fronts. The first layer was led by the arrest officer Tie Xuan, and the second was him.
Regrettably, up to now, there had not been anyone of interest emerging from within the Huang Family.
He naturally did not want to reveal himself so early, lest he scare away the thieves from the No-Life Sect.
"Your servant obeys the command!"
Yue Shan nodded slightly and leapt down from the rooftop.
...
...
"Huang Xing's strength is indeed extraordinary!" Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with deep caution.
While Tie Xuan might be able to suppress Huang Shengnian somewhat, no one could handle Huang Xing; though the government officials that Tie Xuan brought were not lacking in the Blood Refining Level, none could withstand more than three moves from Huang Xing.
Huang Xing did not kill, merely breaking a few bones at most; it was apparent he also did not want to completely fall out just yet.
"Bang!"
Tie Xuan struck the ground in front of Huang Shengnian with his spear, creating a mark on the ground and forcing Huang Shengnian to retreat, but when he turned his gaze towards Huang Xing, his expression darkened.
The government officials he had brought were no match for Huang Xing; they were already being pushed back by the Huang Family's Protectors, while Huang Xing remained calm and composed.
He felt impatient inside, cursing to himself why the reinforcements Wu Qingfeng promised had not arrived. If he let Huang Xing finish off all the government officials, not only would it be a massive loss of face, but it might also allow Huang Xing to turn the tables on him.
He guessed that inside the Huang Family, they were surely destroying all evidence, or perhaps transferring it.
"Tie Xuan, you can still ensure peace by withdrawing your men now; otherwise, don't blame my Huang Family if, in a little while, we inadvertently cripple you!" Huang Shengnian threatened with a grim face.
"Old fool, with these little tricks, you think you can take down Tie someone?" Tie Xuan snorted coldly.
"I alone may not be enough, but what if Huang Xing joins me?"
Squinting his eyes, Tie Xuan swept his gaze over the group of government officials brought by Huang Xing and shouted lowly:
"Huang Xing is committing treason, if you all redeem yourselves now, the arrest officer not only will forgive your crimes, but will also plead for your merits with the County Magistrate; otherwise, when the County Magistrate is enraged, all of you will be thrown into prison and sent to the border!"
"Spreading false rumors, when have I, the arrest officer, committed treason? Stop your nonsense. All you need to do is watch, and afterwards, I will not hold you responsible for any crimes, but if you dare attack the Huang Family, afterwards do not blame me, Huang Xing, for settling accounts!"
Huang Xing said sternly, with a dark face.
The government officials looked at each other, slightly uncertain, caught between the command of the County Magistrate and the threatening words of the long-established of Huang Xing.
Chen Yuan squinted his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows. He had initially wanted to just wait and see, but if Tie Xuan were defeated, this great opportunity would be wasted.
Furthermore...
If Wu Qingfeng decided to let Tie Xuan make a move, how could he possibly rely solely on Tie Xuan?
Is he perhaps watching from the shadows?
Or has he been held back?
Thinking this, Chen Yuan took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said loudly:
"Fellow colleagues, the County Magistrate's order is here, which is the decree of the court; do you really want to disobey? Chen Yuan might be inexperienced, but I know that the command of the court must not be defied."
"Being sent to the border means a situation of nine deaths and one life."
Chen Yuan decided to take a gamble, betting that the Huang Family would not last through this.
If the Huang Family had not decided to make the Beihai Gang move against him, Chen Yuan would have ignored it, but since the Huang Family harbored the intent to kill him, he could no longer wait.
If he did not step forward now, afterward he would only be able to flee from Ping'an County.
On hearing this, everyone turned to look at Chen Yuan, recalling that this Chen Yuan was just a newcomer who had joined the County Government barely a year ago; how did he have the courage to speak such words?
"Chen Yuan... are you opposing me, the arrest officer?" Huang Xing's gaze was somewhat sinister.
"Arrest officer? Huang Xing, your defiance has already come first. My action was merely following orders!" Chen Yuan stepped forward expressionlessly.
Tie Xuan's eyes sparkled, and he was about to say something when he realized the man stepping forward was unfamiliar. He instantly understood that this person might be a newbie in the County Government, feeling somewhat disappointed.
"Scoundrel, who do you think you are to directly address me by name, showing insubordination? Today, I, the arrest officer, will let you understand what it means to respect hierarchy!"
Huang Xing said coldly, furious in his heart.
"Hah..." Chen Yuan scoffed coldly, his hand gripping the handle of his sword tightly.
No need to win; just blocking a few moves would naturally prompt those hesitant Government Officials to intervene.
If the chaos resulted in Huang Xing being killed, a position for an arrest officer would then be vacant within the County Government.
The law does not hold the crowd accountable, even if something were to happen afterward, it would be under Tie Xuan's orders and Chen Yuan's leadership.
Disdainfully glancing at Chen Yuan, Huang Xing thought, even if you could kill Wang Meng, so what?
The gap between Blood Refining and Bone Refining is not so easily bridged!
Without further words, Huang Xing stepped forward, covering the distance of several meters, and slashed at Chen Yuan with his sword.
Chen Yuan didn't dodge; his Sword Drawing Skill erupted instantly.
"Ding!"
The sound of metal clashing echoed as Chen Yuan was forced several steps back by Huang Xing's strike. Huang Xing's eyes were cold, and just as he was about to continue, suddenly, a whooshing sound exploded.
Huang Xing tensed, sidestepped, and staggered several steps. The spot where he had just stood now had a small hatchet the size of a forearm embedded in the ground!
"Who is it?" Huang Xing narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition.
Chen Yuan turned his head to look, and saw a burly man nearly two meters tall, holding a Heavy Blade, appearing before everyone. The burly man, bare-chested, had bronze-colored skin with smooth lines, very aesthetically pleasing, and there was a tuft of chest hair between his pectorals.
His tiger-like eyes exerted a strong oppressive force, staring coldly at Huang Xing, causing him to feel an intense pressure.
"May I know who you are and why you are interfering in the affairs of the Huang Family?" Huang Xing asked, narrowing his eyes in wariness.
Yue Shan grinned, revealing a simple and naive smile:
"On the orders of the County Magistrate to inspect the Huang Family, you tell me, who am I?"
In mid-combat, Tie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was about time. If it had been delayed any longer, it would have truly been embarrassing.
"Brother, I'll leave Huang Xing to you!" Tie Xuan shouted loudly.
Yue Shan nodded, and then gave Chen Yuan a side glance:
"Your strength is quite decent, it's just a pity about your Realm..."
Chen Yuan smiled and remained silent.
Huang Xing's expression changed, feeling an increasing sense of unease. This time Wu Qingfeng probably hadn't come just for an inspection, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked for such a strong fighter to come from elsewhere.
"This brother, see clearly, my Huang Family has always been loyal to the imperial court, how can..."
Yue Shan, impatient, waved his hand:
"I'm not interested in listening to your nonsense. Now, I give you a choice, either surrender or... I'll smash you to pieces!"
As he spoke the words "smash to pieces," Chen Yuan felt a bloodthirsty aura.
This person is no ordinary man!
