Chapter 630 - 628: Gone Too Far

A cold glint flashed in Wang Mian’s eyes.

He glanced around at the people of Chenxi Pavilion. Every single one of them had pathetically low Cultivation.

He paid them no mind at all.

Besides, even if their Cultivation was high, no one in Xingyuan City would dare challenge someone from the City Lord’s Mansion.

With a great wave of his hand, he commanded, "Go! Let’s smash Chenxi Pavilion first."

Seeing his younger brother order his men to attack, Wang Ba crossed his arms, ready to enjoy the show.

If one of his hands hadn’t been crippled, he would have applauded.

"How insolent."

Seeing this, Xiao Jun snorted coldly.

He then let out a loud shout.

"Anyone who dares cause trouble in our Chenxi Pavilion today will regret it."

Xiao Jun had chosen to follow Jiang Chen, so naturally, he was completely loyal.

Now that someone dared to touch Jiang Chen’s Chenxi Pavilion, it was a sign of disrespect toward Jiang Chen himself.

No matter what, Xiao Jun would not let them succeed.

SWOOSH!

His figure flashed, and he was in motion.

The speed of a Martial King Expert was incredibly fast. To Wang Mian and his men, with their Martial Artist Cultivation Realms, all they saw was a flickering shadow.

BANG!

Xiao Jun threw a punch at the first person from the City Lord’s Mansion who was about to make a move.

Instantly, the Martial Artist was sent sprawling to the ground by Xiao Jun’s blow. His ribs shattered, and he passed out on the spot before he could even scream.

And Xiao Jun’s speed was immense.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

He practically became a series of afterimages, weaving between Wang Mian and his men.

After just a few blinks of an eye, Xiao Jun reappeared.

However, he was now holding a person in each hand—none other than the two brothers, Wang Ba and Wang Mian.

Wang Ba and Wang Mian were horrified. They couldn’t believe that this person whose Cultivation they couldn’t discern had taken down all the guards from the City Lord’s Mansion in a near instant.

Their conditions were unknown.

Wang Ba’s heart was pounding in his chest.

His eyes were wide with terror.

He stared at Xiao Jun.

He realized that this Xiao Jun seemed to be far more powerful than Jiang Chen.

This made him feel he had gravely miscalculated.

As for Wang Mian, who had come to avenge his younger brother, his expression changed drastically.

Dangling from Xiao Jun’s hands, they were held aloft like a pair of ducks.

"Let’s see who dares to make a move in Chenxi Pavilion now,"

Xiao Jun said with a cold expression.

He stared at the two Wang brothers.

His gaze was chilling.

He absolutely had the urge to kill.

If Jiang Chen hadn’t repeatedly instructed them not to harm people lightly, all of these men would already be dead.

GULP!

Wang Mian swallowed hard.

Caught in Xiao Jun’s grasp, he was unable to resist.

Although terrified, Wang Mian managed to maintain a sliver of composure.

He quickly spoke, "Kid, we are guards of the City Lord’s Mansion! You have violated the dignity of our City Lord’s Mansion."

"If you don’t want to die, let us go. Otherwise, your Chenxi Pavilion will regret this."

What horrified Wang Mian now was that this person whose Cultivation was indiscernible seemed to have concealed it, and his real Cultivation was clearly higher than his own.

’At least a Martial Artist of the Sixth or Seventh Heavens.’ This was his conservative estimate.

He naturally wouldn’t believe the man before him was a Martial King Expert.

There weren’t many Martial King Experts in Xingyuan City, and every single one was a terrifying existence.

A Martial King Expert could at least become a Guard Captain in the Xingyuan City Lord’s Mansion.

So he threatened Xiao Jun again.

"That’s right! Hurry up and let the two of us go, or you’ll be in over your heads."

"The City Lord’s Mansion is not an existence you can afford to provoke."

Xiao Jun’s expression darkened.

’Threatening me at a time like this.’

"You’re simply courting death."

"I’ll let you see for yourselves whether our Chenxi Pavilion fears the City Lord’s Mansion."

As he spoke, Xiao Jun tightened his grip on Wang Ba and Wang Mian’s necks and gave a sudden, sharp twist.

CRACK!

In that moment, the two brothers, Wang Ba and Wang Mian, couldn’t believe that this was the last second of their lives.

That’s right. In a fit of anger, Xiao Jun had decisively snapped Wang Mian and Wang Ba’s necks.

Their heads lolled to the side, and they died, their last breaths expiring.

As a former Mercenary Captain, Xiao Jun was very decisive.

Then, carrying the dead bodies of the two Wang Family brothers, he walked to the entrance and tossed them directly onto the street.

At the same time, he dragged out all the men from the City Lord’s Mansion whom he had knocked unconscious inside Chenxi Pavilion and threw them out as well.

BUZZ...

Seeing this, the crowd instantly erupted.

"Heavens, isn’t that Wang Ba, the owner of Bright King Pavilion?"

"He’s dead? Killed by someone from Chenxi Pavilion?"

"And that’s Wang Ba’s older brother, Wang Mian, a team leader in the guard of the City Lord’s Mansion! He was killed by Chenxi Pavilion too!"

"This... this Chenxi Pavilion has really gone too far, haven’t they? They even dared to kill someone from the City Lord’s Mansion?"

Meanwhile, Cao Huai and the others, who had been waiting to watch the spectacle, were dumbfounded as they saw Chenxi Pavilion toss out the corpses of Wang Ba and Wang Mian.

Cao Huai went up to check and was violently shaken.

He jumped back in horror.

"The people from Chenxi Pavilion... they actually killed the two brothers, Wang Mian and Wang Ba."

"It’s over. They’re done for. Wang Mian was from the City Lord’s Mansion. Killing him is a provocation against the City Lord’s Mansion."

They all looked at Chenxi Pavilion with shocked expressions.

At the same time, they shook their heads continuously.

’This time, Chenxi Pavilion is finished.’

’No one can save Chenxi Pavilion now.’

As for the men from the City Lord’s Mansion who had been knocked out, they began to wake up after a while and saw that Wang Mian was dead.

Their faces paled in terror.

"Captain? Captain!"

"The Captain is dead! He was killed by the people from Chenxi Pavilion!"

"Quick, go back to the City Lord’s Mansion and report this!"

Soon, the men from the City Lord’s Mansion carried away the bodies of Wang Mian and Wang Ba and hurried off.

Seeing this, many of the curious onlookers quickly backed away, putting distance between themselves and the scene.

They knew that Chenxi Pavilion was about to face a catastrophic disaster.

As a result, no one dared to enter Chenxi Pavilion anymore.

Cao Huai and his group watched with a hint of schadenfreude.

Inside Chenxi Pavilion, Xiao Jun said to Mr. Qiu Shui, "Sir, my apologies. I was impulsive just now."

"If there’s any trouble, I’ll take full responsibility."

Having killed them, Xiao Jun knew he had stirred up trouble.

They hadn’t wanted to cause trouble, but the other party had come to provoke them time and time again, and Xiao Jun’s anger had been kindled.

Mr. Qiu Shui waved his hand. "No matter. The Young Master told us not to stir up trouble, but he also said that if anyone dares to cause a disturbance in our Chenxi Pavilion, whoever comes shall die."

"Don’t worry. The City Lord’s Mansion is nothing. We’ll handle it."

Xiaotian adjusted his straw hat and said nonchalantly, "What’s the big deal? I thought you were going to kill them all."

"How boring."

"But it’s also boring to just sit around. Might as well bait a few big fish for fun."

"If the City Lord’s Mansion dares to attack, we’ll just destroy the City Lord’s Mansion."

"If the Tang Kingdom dares to make a move, we’ll just wipe out the entire Tang Kingdom. Who’s afraid of whom?"

Xiaotian was the most arrogant of them all.

He had an air of fearing nothing in heaven or on earth.

Of course, they also sent word to Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen, who was currently whole-heartedly focused on refining Magical Treasures, paid it no mind.

"You guys handle it."

Right now, Jiang Chen was holding a Big Iron Hammer, using Tian Du’s Artifact Refining Technique. He employed a Thousand-Hammered Refining method, continuously striking the Artifact Embryo on the platform.

’Magical Treasures forged with Thousand-Hammered Refining are, without exception, of the highest quality.’

As Jiang Chen had been refining Magical Treasures recently, he had increasingly discovered just how formidable Tian Du’s Thousand-Hammered Refining was.

It could be said that if a Magical Treasure refined by an ordinary Artifact Refiner could at best reach the Upper Grade, then after Jiang Chen refined it again using Thousand-Hammered Refining, it could definitely reach the Super Grade.

Jiang Chen was also becoming more and more proficient with the Thousand-Hammered Refining Skill. Practice made perfect, and now any Dharma Artifact he casually refined would be of Super Grade quality.

His current goal was to first master Thousand-Hammered Refining. Then, the next step would be to refine a Magical Treasure that surpassed Dharma Artifacts: a Treasure Artifact, a true Treasure Artifact.

Only by successfully refining a Treasure Artifact could one be called a master among Artifact Refiners.
