Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Get Out

Tiandu is the capital of Great Ming, home to countless offices and institutions. However, the main institution responsible for the security of Tiandu is not the Two Factories and a Guard, or the Guard Command Department, but a small institution: the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department.
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department, namely the Central, East, West, South, and North Cities Soldiers and Horses Command Department, is responsible for apprehending thieves in Tiandu, managing the streets and drains, and dealing with prisoners and fire prevention matters.
Although the commander of the Military Equipment Department is just a humble sixth-grade official, because they are in charge of Tiandu’s security, they can be said to be high -ranking.
Pei Xuanjing was attacked. The boldness of the confrontation between the few people drew the attention of the patrolling Military Equipment Department at night.
When the commander who was on patrol tonight arrived, it was just when Pei Xuanjing was preparing to pursue the fleeing ax-wielding man in black.
Upon seeing the situation, the Military Equipment Department’s commander immediately shouted: “Who are you, daring to kill in Tiandu without permission?
Pei Xuanjing’s face went cold, feeling a strong malice from this man.
Given the circumstance, regardless of what had happened, judging from the appearance of both parties, it was clear that he was the victim and had been attacked.
Yet this commander of the Military Equipment Department seemingly turned a blind eye, without asking about the actual situation, accused him of murder.
Pei Xuanjing said coldly, “Someone tried to assassinate me. Two of them were killed in self-defense, and one escaped. I’m going to pursue them now.”
With that, Pei Xuanjing tried to leave.
However, the commander still persisted, saying: “Regardless, killing in Tiandu without permission is a violation of the Tiandu prohibitions. You have to come with me to the Military Equipment
Department. As for the person who escaped, our Military Equipment Department will capture him.” ‘You?” said, Pei Xuanjing sneeringly.
Gazing at the current group of Military Equipment Department officials, aside from the commander’s fourth -grade realm, the strongest amongst them was only a sixth-grade Martial Artist. How dare they say they can capture someone?
The man was indeed injured by him, but this ragtag group of fish and shrimp couldn’t deal with him.
Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing•s tone of disdain, the expression of the commander became gloomy, and he threatened, “Are you disregarding my Military Equipment Department?”
Pei Xuanjing had just finished fighting, and his imposing aura had yet to dissipate. The boiling blood qi radiated all around, and the commander could clearly sense Pei Xuanjing’s strength.
Nevertheless, he maintained his composure without showing any signs of backing down.
Even if Pei Xuanjing is a third-grade grandmaster, given his status, he would not fear him. He didn’t believe Pei Xuanjing would dare to attack.
Pei Xuanjing was completely certain that this man was out to get him. Recalling the words of the man in black earlier, he started to suspect that this man was part of their backup plan. Otherwise, the street wouldn’t be so miraculously empty.
However, due to lack of evidence, he couldn’t assert this.
Still, he was already fed up with dealing with this man, so he coldly told him, “I’ll only say this once, Step aside.”
Pei Xuanjing was not one to be easily provoked. He did no harm as long as no harm was done to him. But if anyone dared to stand against him, they couldn’t expect any mercy from him.
Since he had decided to kill these three assassins, he would never let the last one escape.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s serious face, the commander of the Military Equipment Department also coldly replied, “What, are you going to revolt?”
He slapped another big crime onto Pei Xuanjing, intending to keep him here.
“Get out of my way!” Pei Xuanjing bellowed. His blood qi surged, creating a wave of energy that radiated in all directions from him. Those from the Military Equipment Department were all scattered.
And the commander of the Military Equipment Department, who had received Pei Xuanjing’s special treatment, could only feel a force coming at him head -on. He stumbled back more than a dozen steps, struggling to breathe for a moment under Pei Xuanjing’s imposing pressure. He had the feeling that if he tried to speak again, Pei Xuanjing might actually kill him.
However, Pei Xuanjing also maintained some rationale, knowing that he couldn’t kill these people, or he would really be considered a rebel.
But a mere commander of the Military Equipment Department also dared to provoke him, so Pei Xuanjing had to teach him a lesson.
He took a lingering look at the commander of the Military Equipment Department, remembering his face. Then he began to pursue the man in black with a giant ax.
“Sir , what should we do?” A clerk approached the commander and asked.
Remembering the way Pei Xuanjing had looked at him as if he was dead, he felt a sense of unease.
This guy seemed hard to deal with; if he had known, he wouldn’t have agreed to this job.
No one Imew the real names of these three men anymore. They were known as the Wolf Brothers. From the time they started making a name for themselves, they used aliases. The swordsman was called Cang Lang, the knife bearer was called Qing Lang, and the one who escaped was called Hei Lang.
“Pei Xuanjing, I swear I will not forget the enmity of today. One day, I will tear you to pieces and offer your corpse as a sacrifice to the spirits of my elder and younger brothers in heaven,” Hei Lang, the one wielding an ax, gritted his teeth and declared.
The three brothers had been through thick and thin for decades, but today two of them were killed by Pei Xuanjing, leaving only Hei Lang to escape in disgrace. How could he not hate Pei Xuanjing to the bone, wishing to grind his bones into powder and scatter his ashes?
“Really?” came a mild voice.
“Of course.” Halfway through his sentence, Hei Lang suddenly looked up to see Pei Xuanjing less than a dozen feet behind him, looking at him with a smile.
Since Pei Xuanjing had caught up with him here, it was clear what happened to Qing Lang.
“Pei Xuanjing,” Hei Lang growled, glaring at Pei Xuanjing with murderous intent in his eyes.
Pei Xuanjing just stood there with a slight smile on his face, “There’s no need to hate me so much. Who told you to bring doom upon yourselves?”
Bring doom upon themselves!
Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words, there was a fleeting look of sadness in Hei Lang’s ruthless eyes, but it disappeared instantly.
He didn’t say a word, just kept staring at Pei Xuanjing’s every move.
Pei Xuanjing wasn’t in a hurry to make a move, and said calmly, “Tell me who is behind you, and I’ll leave your body intact.”
Hei Lang looked at Pei Xuanjing as if he were an idiot and scoffed, “Do you think I’ll tell you?”
Pei Xuanjing countered, “Don’t you want the puppet masters to pay the price too? Or, if the person behind you is very powerful, you should let me take revenge, right? That will result in taking your life too, right?”
There is no denying that Pei Xuanjing is not a great negotiator; Hei Lang was not moved in the slightest.
“What I want the most, is to kill you myself! ”
Just like Qing Lang, Hei Lang took an elixir from his pocket and swallowed it. His blood qi began to surge as he wielded his giant ax and attacked Pei Xuanjing..
