Hearing that, Bruce was extremely infuriated. He glared at Oliver and scolded, "Oliver, I couldn't tell that you're such a vile person who fawns on those in power and who goes wherever the wind blows. "You want to kneel down and admit your mistake, trying to suck up to Fang Xingjian, but I'm not as shameless as you."
He then looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Fang Xingjian, I was in the wrong for what happened earlier. When we get back, I'll get my clan to give you a compensation of 100,000 gold. How about we write off this matter?"
"Write off?" Fang Xingjian looked at the three of them with a faint smile. How could he possibly let the two of them off so easily? Since he wanted to protect Audrey, it was impossible for him to handle everything personally, lest all sorts of flies and mosquitoes came to deal with him.
Therefore, he would naturally protect the Pop Clan, allowing this clan to truly shelter Audrey from the wind and rain in the future. Naturally, he would not be stingy in building up some authority in the Northern Ice Region.
Fang Xingjian said, "Initially, it would have been fine if I gave you a sword attack as a small punishment for offending me. However, since you still intend to kill me, it's impossible for things to end so simply."
"Fang Xingjian, don't go overboard," Bruce said. "I'm a Conferred Knight conferred by the Empire. I have an official position and real authority. Are you going to go against the law and kill me? "I've offended you in the past, suffered a loss, and admitted my mistake. What else do you want now?"
Bruce was right. Although the Perverted Concubine Diana or the Undying Xia were extremely powerful, they did not have the status of the Empire's government. Even if they were to be killed, the government would not look for trouble.
However, if Fang Xingjian were to kill Bruce before so many people, he would be going against the Empire's law and the Knight Association's rules. There would be a lot of trouble, and this was what Bruce was relying on.
In particular, when he admitted his mistake just now, he had already greatly trampled on his own dignity. At this time, when Fang Xingjian forced him again, it directly aroused his rebellious mentality. In fact, in a short period of time, he even had a kind of courage that was not afraid of death.
Even an ordinary person would commit suicide by jumping off a building or slashing someone with a knife when he was extremely angry, let alone a genius like Bruce who was forced to the extreme.
"If worst comes to worst, I'll just fight it out with you. Aren't you just stronger than me? If worse comes to worst, you'll just have to kill me. Don't even think about having an easy time! "
At this moment, Bruce's fury burst forth, and his pride was pushed back to the extreme. Then he forcefully lifted his head up from Fang Xingjian's pressure. Even his martial will showed signs of breaking through.
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, giving him a sudden understanding of the situation in front of him.
"Yes, in fact, he doesn't dare to kill me. Although Fang Xingjian is powerful, the First Prince and the Emperor are keeping him in check and suppressing him. If he really dares to make a move, the association and the royal family will immediately get hold of his weakness and suppress him. "
"That's right. So what if he's powerful? As long as I don't die today, I'll definitely surpass him one day after ten or twenty years have passed and trample on him fiercely. "
The series of thoughts and comprehensions, especially when faced with an expert like Fang Xingjian, made Bruce feel as if he was dancing on the tip of a blade.
Bruce's aura grew increasingly stronger, and his martial arts started to improve. He once again regained the confident, astute, and disposition of an elite aristocrat that he had displayed at the banquet earlier.
Fang Xingjian looked at him and said, "Why would I kill you? Of course, I won't kill you. I only want to take you under my wing and make you a little sweeper. You'll help me get rid of the impurities and clean the toilets for ten years. "
"What?" When Bruce heard Fang Xingjian's first sentence, he was still very proud, thinking that he had comprehended the main point. However, his next sentence gave him a great shock, and his face revealed an inexplicable expression of grief and indignation.
"Fang Xingjian, to think that you want me, the successor of the Henry Clan, to clean the toilets? You're going too far! You're going too far! Even if I die, I won't do it. "
"It's not up to you." As he spoke, Fang Xingjian's palm trembled, turning into streams of sword Qis and sword intents that tore through the air and gushed out toward Bruce. The terrifying sword force and martial will mixed together, making it hard to tell which was the real power and which was just an illusory martial will.
At this moment, after sparring with Xia, Fang Xingjian once again gained a new understanding of martial arts. The power of his physical body and martial will mixed together perfectly, as if he was a true Divine level expert.
Bruce let out a furious bellow. Just as he was about to unleash a burst of resistance, he was completely suppressed by a deathly sword intent. His physical body was unable to move at all. Then the sword force circled around Bruce's body fiercely, breaking through all the powers in his body. It then gathered in Bruce's consciousness, suppressing all of his martial techniques, coordination, and martial will.
It could be said that at this moment, Bruce still had the physical body of a level 29 Conferred Knight, but he only had the power of an ordinary person. He was unable to perform any hint of martial techniques or extraordinary abilities.
Then, a gush of pressure gushed forth, and with a thud, Bruce dropped to his knees, as if he was prostrating on the ground, kowtowing and admitting his mistake.
His cultivation had dropped from that of a level 29 Conferred Knight to that of an ordinary person. It was to the extent that he would no longer be able to cultivate in the future. What kind of blow was this?
Bruce's countenance was pale, and his eyes were filled with despair. It was as if his soul had been sucked out.
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Lilia, look after him. Later on, bring him back to the academy and make him a sweeper."
"Yes." Lilia stepped forward and came to Bruce's side.
Seeing how ruthless Fang Xingjian was, everyone present was as quiet as cicadas in winter. Oliver and Kite lowered their heads even further, and their hearts beat increasingly faster. It was as if they were afraid that Fang Xingjian would deal with them in the same way.
Fang Xingjian threw a glance at Oliver and Kite and said, "After you go back, bring one million gold to the Great Western Region. Take it as an apology gift from the two of you, and we'll forget about what happened today."
Hearing the compensation of one million gold, Oliver's face twitched as if a piece of his heart had been dug out. However, at the thought of Fang Xingjian's prowess, he still gritted his teeth and agreed to it.
However, his heart was filled with extreme regret. 'One million gold! A whole one million gold! I don't have that much money! How many estates and businesses do I have to sell off? Over ten years of hard work, decades of the clan's savings, all gone in a single day! '
Fang Xingjian's gaze swept toward Andolf, the head of the Pop Clan, and said calmly, "You don't have a backbone, nor do you have any sense of responsibility for the clan. In the future, you don't have to be the head of the Pop Clan anymore. Let Audrey take over."
Andolf's countenance changed, and he gritted his teeth, not daring to object.
However, Audrey said, "That's enough. Fang Xingjian, I don't want to be the clan's head. From today onward, you can just bring me away from here."
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Since I'm asking you to do it, you must do it. Andolf can't defy me, and neither can you."
Audrey was infuriated and wanted to retort on the spot. However, she felt an extremely strong and surging will that seemed to be material pressing down on her. It encompassed her body, causing her to be unable to say a single word.
Fang Xingjian turned to look at Andolf and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"
