Immediately, Chu Chen's legs pushed off the ground, and his body sprang up, soaring through the air. He struck one of the black-clad enforcement officers on the head with a palm.
*Bang!* In an instant, the black-clad enforcement officer was sent flying backward, knocking over several of his companions before falling unconscious.
"Seeking death!" The other black-clad enforcement officers roared in anger, drawing their long swords and slashing at him.
However, these sharp blades, when striking Chu Chen's body, vanished as if a mud ox had entered the sea, disappearing without a trace, as if hitting a bronze wall or an iron bastion.
Chu Chen stomped on the chest of the injured black-clad enforcement officer and growled, "I'll ask you again, where is the item?"
"I... I'll tell you, I'll tell you..." The member of the black-clad enforcement team was so terrified that he quickly said, "The item was taken by the Master!"
"The Master is waiting for you in the study!" Hearing this, Chu Chen immediately turned and left, his figure disappearing into the night.
"Hiss..." The surrounding people couldn't help but gasp, clicking their tongues in admiration.
"Such formidable strength, those were all experts from the black-clad enforcement team, and they were subdued in one move!"
"Who is he? He even dares to lay hands on people from the City Lord's mansion!"
"This is going to be interesting!" All eyes turned to the middle-aged man lying on the ground, with a hint of pity in their gazes.
This guy had gotten himself into big trouble, daring to fool the other party with a fake Jin Tie Ling. He deserved it!
"Drag the body away, don't dirty this place." The leader of the black-clad enforcement team snorted coldly and immediately ordered men to carry the middle-aged man away.
Chu Chen did not linger, heading straight for the study in the City Lord's mansion.
"Stop! Who goes there!"
Guards stood watch in front of the study. Upon seeing Chu Chen appear before the study door, they immediately blocked his path.
"Get out of the way!" Chu Chen's eyes were chilling. He suddenly grabbed a guard by the neck and, like lifting a chick, threw him more than ten feet away, where he landed heavily in the courtyard.
At the same time, Chu Chen's gaze fell upon the study. "Are you the City Lord?"
"Presumptuous!" A white-haired old man strode out. "This is the forbidden area of the City Lord's mansion. Trespassers will be killed without mercy!"
"Killed without mercy?" Chu Chen heard this and a cold smile crept onto his lips. "I'd like to see how you kill me!"
Chu Chen instantly charged into the study and kicked over a chair, which happened to smash into the white-haired old man's face.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The white-haired old man spat out several bloody teeth, flying backward and landing on the ground in a disheveled state.
Then, Chu Chen quickly moved to the window, pushed it open, and leaped out, disappearing into the vast night in the blink of an eye.
"Master..." The guards beside him quickly helped the white-haired old man up. "He, he ran away..."
The white-haired old man shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn scoundrel! I won't let you off!"
Chu Chen did not escape the pursuit of the City Lord's mansion.
Midway, he encountered several groups of black-clad enforcement officers, and even a five-man team of black-clad enforcement officers who almost surrounded him.
Fortunately, Chu Chen's speed was fast enough, and he relied on his powerful physique to withstand the spiritual artifact weapons, breaking through the encirclement all the way to the garden within the City Lord's mansion.
"Boom!" A burst of sound echoed, deafening.
"Hmm?" Chu Chen frowned slightly, and his gaze followed the sound. He saw a training ground in the backyard of the City Lord's mansion, where a group of warriors in silver armor were surrounding and attacking a man in white.
"So that's how it is. No wonder I felt a familiar aura. It's you!" Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
The man in white was Lin Tianyu!
Lin Tianyu was surrounded by numerous black-clad enforcement officers. Wielding a long spear and facing endless pressure, his body was already covered in wounds, yet he still stood firm.
"Don't force me! I am the grandson of King Chu. If it weren't for the friendship between our fathers, I would have already exterminated your entire clan!"
Lin Tianyu shouted, his powerful sonic waves spreading out, shaking the surroundings.
"Hahaha..." However, faced with Lin Tianyu's threat, the black-clad enforcement officers did not retreat.
Instead, they launched an even more frenzied attack, as if they would not rest until Lin Tianyu was killed.
Chu Chen easily crossed layers of obstacles and arrived outside the training ground, quietly observing the development of the situation.
Lin Tianyu's strength was formidable, especially the long spear in his hand, which possessed terrifying power.
He could even contend with the long spears of the black-clad enforcement officers, but in the end, he was outnumbered and had sustained many injuries.
"Bang!" Lin Tianyu was once again knocked to the ground. A deep, bone-revealing裂痕 appeared on his chest, and bright red blood stained his clothes.
"Do you really think you've won!"
Lin Tianyu roared, "I am the son of King Chu! Today, I must leave this city, or none of you will survive!"
As his voice fell, Lin Tianyu suddenly took out a metal token from his embrace.
The moment he produced this metal token, all the black-clad enforcement officers present fell silent.
This was... the Chu King's Token!
With this token, one could mobilize the hundred thousand troops under King Chu!
"I gave you a chance. Since you insist on seeking death, then I will grant it to you!" Lin Tianyu grinned, revealing a cruel arc.
"Stop!" A resonant voice suddenly rang out.
Then, a young man in purple robes descended from the sky, landing in front of Lin Tianyu.
"Chu Chen! You dare to return and seek death!" Lin Tianyu's pupils suddenly contracted, his fists clenched, wishing he could devour Chu Chen.
A cold smile played on his lips as he slowly walked towards Lin Tianyu. "You want to kill me? I'd like to ask, on what grounds?"
As he spoke, Chu Chen slapped him across the face.
With a crisp *slap*, Lin Tianyu screamed and flew out, his cheek swelling up high, bleeding profusely.
"You..." Lin Tianyu was extremely enraged, his eyes flashing with icy, bone-chilling resentment.
Chu Chen slapped him again and again, each time using seven or eight parts of his strength, beating Lin Tianyu into a pulp.
"Stop!"
"You dare to attack the City Lord! You are simply reckless!" The surrounding black-clad enforcement officers exclaimed in shock.
"All of you, shut up!" Chu Chen turned and berated them, his eyes extremely sharp. "He wanted to kill me, should I just let him slaughter me?"
"This matter was initiated by you provoking the City Lord. If it weren't for that, how would the City Lord have taken action to teach you a lesson."
Hearing this, Chu Chen let out a disdainful cold laugh, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding black-clad enforcement officers, finally landing on the white-haired old man.
"You just said I wasn't qualified to enter the City Lord's mansion?" Chu Chen's indifferent tone carried a strong mockery. "What a fine 'not qualified'!"
The white-haired old man's face showed displeasure. "This is the City Lord's decision. If you are not satisfied, you can go and reason with the City Lord."
