Liu Chan did not hide her strength at all; her full power was revealed.
Upon seeing this, the guards' eyes widened in shock, and they all recoiled in fear.
What nonsense was this talk of punishing offenders equally? Such rules were inherently made by the strong to better control the weak.
As for the strong, they had devised these rules, and naturally, they possessed countless ways to silence public opinion, or rather, to silence those who voiced it permanently.
Liu Chan, being a super expert at the mid-stage of the Saint Venerable realm, could disregard any rules.
She had merely killed a hooligan, and if she killed him, so be it. How would the guards dare to utter a word?
With Liu Chan's command to "scram," the guards retreated in fear, not daring to make a sound.
This was the prestige of a Saint Venerable expert.
Even in Fire City, Liu Chan had her standing, as Saint Venerable experts commanded respect.
Just as the guards were at a loss, a voice echoed from a distance, "Which fellow daoist graces my Fire City?"
As soon as the words fell, a man at the late-stage of the Saint Venerable realm appeared in everyone's sight. He sauntered over, and upon seeing Liu Chan, his eyes lit up.
Having cultivated in Fire City for years, his body had long been stifled with fire. Moreover, they were both of the fire element system. Wasn't Liu Chan the perfect Dao Companion?
Although the man often sought women to satisfy his personal needs, when it came to finding a Dao Companion for procreation, a good constitution was paramount.
He could not allow his own excellent constitution to be diluted.
It was only when he discovered that Liu Chan was a mid-stage Saint Venerable of the fire element system that he felt heaven had opened a bright door for him.
Liu Chan was undoubtedly his destiny.
"May I know your name, fellow daoist? I am Zong Ya, the City Guard Commander of Fire City. It's a pleasure to meet you." Zong Ya's voice softened considerably as he looked at Liu Chan.
It was evident he harbored affection for Liu Chan, his gaze fixated on her physical form.
Liu Chan's eyes were solely on Xia Feng; other men were simply eyesores. She paid no heed to Zong Ya's advances and said, "Scram. I have no interest in you."
Zong Ya was not angered by such a rejection. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since you are so direct, fellow daoist, let me be blunt. I fancy you. Let us become Dao Companions. Together, our cultivation will mutually benefit our progress, and our children will be exceptional."
Zong Ya laid his intentions bare.
Since Liu Chan had already told him to scram, he might as well speak his mind.
Regardless, he was determined to have Liu Chan in his embrace, even if it meant resorting to force.
A late-stage Saint Venerable against a mid-stage one posed no challenge for him.
Seeing Zong Ya utter such vulgar words to her, Liu Chan drew her sword and walked to Xia Feng's side, whispering, "Young Master, I wish to slay this impertinent fellow."
"Go ahead. It will be good practice, and he is indeed not a good person," Xia Feng nodded.
"Yes, Young Master." Upon receiving Xia Feng's approval, Liu Chan immediately drew her sword and charged.
Liu Chan spoke no words; she simply acted.
This sudden move startled Zong Ya.
He was somewhat perplexed as to why she would attack without provocation.
However, this was precisely what Zong Ya desired. If he could subdue Liu Chan easily, the two Great Circle Saint Venerables in the city would not object, as it was Liu Chan who initiated the fight.
He would merely be defending himself.
Watching Liu Chan attack with her sword, Zong Ya laughed heartily, "Little lady, you've come at the right time. I'll be consummating our marriage tonight."
With that, Zong Ya also moved to engage.
As the late-stage and mid-stage Saint Venerables clashed, the onlookers rapidly retreated to a safe distance.
Damn it!
The two super experts were now locked in combat.
