Wang Haogan.
An early-stage Jindan State cultivator and the vice-chairman of the Capital City Weapon Craftsmen's Association.
If it was just these two identities, Lian Shanghao would at most be in awe and not be so shocked.
After all …
He was the son of the Third Marquis and had a high status. As one of the Heaven's Favorites, he had high hopes of entering the Jindan State in the future!
Therefore, Lian Shanghao had always been proud and thought of himself as a future Golden Core.
"Senior Wang … Why are you here …"
Lian Shanghao's lips curled up in bitterness and he was dumbfounded.
However, two months ago, Wang Haogan, who had been missing for many years, suddenly returned to the capital. Not only had his cultivation improved, but his attainments in the art of smithing had also improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the bottleneck of a martial grandmaster.
Only those who could craft third-grade weapons and above could be called a Grandmaster of Weapon Craftsmanship.
Wang Haogan had already taken half a step into that realm.
The Wang Haogan today could be said to be the most popular person in the Capital City. Even the Third Marquis could not compare to him!
"Why do I need to explain to you why I am here?"
Wang Haogan spoke indifferently while a deep and dignified aura suffused the surroundings, causing all of them to tremble with fear.
The rest of the guards, in particular, felt their scalps go numb as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on them, freezing them to the bone. A deep coldness froze them where they stood.
"Just now … we actually … yelled and shouted at a Gold Core …"
A guard's body was shivering and his teeth were chattering as he squeezed out a sentence with much difficulty.
A few of his companions who were faster than them had already become ghosts under Wang Haogan's feet!
To offend a Golden Core like this was asking for it!
"We didn't know that Senior Wang was here."
Lian Shanghao took a deep breath and gradually regained his composure. He said in a low voice, "If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us. When we return to the Capital City, we will definitely visit you again to apologize."
No matter how arrogant he was, he knew his place.
There was no benefit in staying here any longer. He might as well leave and seek his father's protection!
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around to leave.
However, Lian Shanghao's line of sight was still fixed on Chen Xiao. After a few seconds, he said meaningfully, "This little brother looks very unfamiliar. Could he be Senior Wang's new disciple? If you come to the capital in the future, this young master will definitely entertain you well. "
There was no lack of threat in his words.
Now that he was in a foreign land and there was no Jindan guarding him, he naturally couldn't do anything to Chen Xiao.
However, if he went to King's City, the Third Prince would be there to block Wang Haogan's pressure, and he would have plenty of ways to teach Chen Xiao a lesson!
"Did I say you could leave?"
At this moment, Chen Xiao's calm voice was suddenly heard.
Lian Shanghao's footsteps came to a halt as a mocking smile flashed across his eyes, "Little brother, don't go overboard when you do things. Today's matter was indeed this young master's recklessness. However, if you continue to be ungrateful … "
Another young man beside him sneered, "Brat, the one we respect is Senior Wang, not you. If we really talk about family background, any one of us won't be any weaker."
As a matter of fact …
Being able to follow Lian Shanghao, no matter how bad their talents and family background were, they would not be too bad.
Every single one of them was extremely prideful.
The reason why they were backing off was not because of Chen Xiao, but because of Wang Haogan's presence!
"If Senior Wang didn't make a move, you have no right to speak here."
The other woman glanced at them and said disdainfully.
"How dare you …"
Wang Haogan was about to be enraged, but Chen Xiao waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "Young man, trying to provoke me is a little too clumsy."
How could he not know that these people were trying to provoke him so that he would personally come out and fight them?
"That being said, it's not bad for a young man to have his own thoughts."
Chen Xiao placed one hand behind his back, with an expressionless face, as he slowly raised his other hand, "Therefore, I've decided to give you a chance. If you can withstand my palm strike, I'll let you go. If not, you'll have to cripple your own cultivation before leaving."
Just think about it, if it wasn't him, Chen Xiao, or if there wasn't a Golden Core accompanying him …
Even if it was the best situation, he would still be humiliated by these people, and the slightest mistake would cause him to die and be buried here!
How could he let them go so easily?
However, when Lian Shanghao and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be enraged.
"What an arrogant kid! Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just by relying on Senior Wang's name? "
Lian Shanghao's anger soared into the sky, and the top-grade artifacts on his body lit up one after another, emitting a wave of horrifying fluctuations. He was like a majestic war king.
"Senior Wang, I respected you as a Golden Core Senior, so I exercised forbearance. But this kid doesn't know what's good for him. Does he really think that I, Lian Shanghao, am a soft persimmon that he can pinch at will?"
"Vice President Wang, don't forget that the Weapon Master Association has received a lot of tributes from the various clans all these years!"
The others spoke one after another, and they wanted to use the forces behind them to exert pressure on Wang Haogan.
"You guys … Sigh!"
Wang Haogan was startled, and then he shook his head with a wry smile. "Forget it, I originally wanted to spare your lives, but unfortunately, you guys can't catch it … Do as you wish, I won't do anything."
With his insight from the Jindan State, he could naturally see that … If it wasn't for the fact that these people wanted to provoke him before leaving, Chen Xiao wouldn't even bother to argue with them.
But Lian Shanghao and the others didn't know what was good for them!
"With Senior's promise, I can rest assured."
Lian Shanghao laughed out loud, and he used all his techniques. The Dragon Dharma Form above his head soared, and a terrifying power attacked Chen Xiao. "Senior, don't worry, for the sake of my father's friendship with you, I will try my best not to kill this kid!"
The terrifying power spread out, and it almost surpassed the level of the Yuan Dan Pill.
Not only him, but the other young people also used their techniques at the same time, and their attacks flew everywhere, drowning the entire area.
Every one of them displayed divine abilities that were comparable to the Hundred Sects' Heaven's Favorites!
Of course, there were more factors involved, and it couldn't be simply measured by talent, but it was enough to shock people.
But in the next second.
Chen Xiao slapped back with his palm.
It was plain, without a trace of smoke and fire.
Even if a three-year-old saw this, they would laugh at this palm for being too simple, and there were no moves to speak of.
But it was precisely this palm that caused the void in front of him to explode. White mist rose up, as if a supernova had exploded. Extremely dazzling divine light filled the world in an instant.
Rumble!
In an instant.
Lian Shanghao and the others' defensive techniques were shattered like a bubble, and their bodies suffered a heavy blow. With a boom, they were smashed into the ground, and a few mouthfuls of blood sprayed out!
