The man's face turned cold upon hearing this. He looked at Xia Feng and berated him, "You're the first person to dare speak to me like that here. Do you think you're looking for death?"
They had always enjoyed bullying outsiders. Was Xia Feng really an exception today?
Here, in Fire City, there were no exceptions.
Any outsider coming to Fire City had to pay an entrance fee, and you expected to pick up Sacred Crystals for free?
As the saying goes, people live off the land and the water. These people were native to Fire City, making a living by swindling and tricking others.
If they wanted to pick up Sacred Crystals in Fire City, they had to pay a price.
As for the ten thousand Sacred Crystals per person he had just mentioned, that was merely stating a price, preparing for Xia Feng to haggle.
Regardless, ten thousand Sacred Crystals was indeed too much.
Paying such a large amount of Sacred Crystals, he himself felt it was unrealistic.
Now Xia Feng was telling him that he was risking his life?
Damn it!
He grew up in Fire City, and now someone was telling him he was risking his life?
The man felt displeased, pointing at Xia Feng and retorting, "I think it's you who is risking your life! What are you, to dare speak such disrespectful words to me?"
The man felt insulted by Xia Feng and had to lash back.
If necessary, fighting back was not impossible.
After all, he wasn't afraid. Who else dared to cause trouble here???
Although Fire City appeared somewhat backward, it was home to many experts, especially fire element experts. Due to constant cultivation here, there were already two peak Saint Venerables, and who knew how many other Saint Venerables.
Most of them came from the outer cities, coming to utilize Fire City's fire element energies for cultivation.
Similarly, they had only one price to pay for cultivating here, which was to maintain the stability of Fire City.
Even if this wasn't mentioned, they would still focus on maintaining stability, so as not to let such a good cultivation spot as Fire City be lost.
This was the reason for the man's complete confidence.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Liu Chan drew her sword and struck.
The process took less than a second, and the man was already decapitated.
She did not hesitate to draw her sword because he had shown great disrespect to Xia Feng.
For a super expert in the middle stage of Saint Venerable to kill a useless bandit-like figure was like using a cannon to swat a mosquito, utterly insignificant.
The sudden beheading of the man caused a great stir.
Although Fire City had no city gates, there were still many guards.
After the killing here, a large commotion quickly ensued.
Everyone rushed over, looking at the man who had just been killed with expressions of disbelief.
It had been made perfectly clear that no one was allowed to cause trouble here. Anyone who took action here would be punished equally, regardless of victory or defeat.
This meant that if A broke B's leg, and they were caught and punished, both A and B would have their legs broken.
Or, if A killed B, then A would be executed, and the deceased B would not be pursued, their sins absolved with death.
Now that Liu Chan had killed someone, it meant that if she were caught, there was only one path for her: to die along with the deceased.
"Lay down your weapons, or you will be killed on the spot."
The Fire City guard quickly arrived, pointing at Liu Chan and shouting sternly.
Seeing Liu Chan's intimidating presence, they immediately felt amused.
This was a golden opportunity, a chance to gain something for free.
As long as one killed someone in Fire City, regardless of who they were, they would face retribution.
Of course, this only applied to the weak and those without power.
This was because any rule was made by the strong for the weak.
Liu Chan looked coldly at this group of people, her mid-stage Saint Venerable power unreservedly displayed, and scoffed:
"Scram!!!"
