Translator: 549690339 I
“Are you threatening me?” Jiang Fan sneered.
Who doesn’t have someone backing them?
“You can take it as a threat if you wish. I can tell you that I have an extremely powerful Immortal backing me!” Head Constable Chen, not knowing where his confidence stemmed from, raised his voice a few notches.
Jiang Fan’s aura rose once again, overwhelming Head Constable Chen to the point where he couldn’t stand steadily and knelt down on the spot, shattering the bluestone tiles on the ground.
“With a child’s level of cultivation, the person backing you must also be no good. Time for you to die!”
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Fan’s aura surged once more, instantly crushing Head Constable Chen’s body and obliterating his soul!
“This…” The leading City Guard didn’t know what to say. Normally, they would have needed to take Head Constable Chen to the Yamen for trial, but he had just been executed on the spot by Jiang Fan.
“Jiang Fan served as an arrest officer for a few years; he surely knows the proper procedures. But now that he is a cultivator, our mortal methods are of no use to him,” one of the City Guards whispered to their leader.
The City Guard leader nodded slightly, “No need to meddle further, our duties as City Guards differ from those of the Yamen. Go and summon the Yamen officers.”
They were only responsible for guarding the city and ensuring the safety of its seventy-three districts. Cases like the disappearance of children were naturally handled by the Yamen’s arrest officers.
Now that Head Constable Chen’s misconduct had been exposed, Jiang Fan, a fellow arrest officer, taking his life was even more an internal matter of the Yamen.
After killing Head Constable Chen, Jiang Fan left. As for the Immortal Head Constable Chen had mentioned, he didn’t care at all.
How could an Immortal bother to trouble himself over Head Constable Chen?
In the eyes of an Immortal, Chen was no more than an ant.
“In just one month, Jiang Fan has become such a formidable cultivator. He didn’t even have to lift a finger, and I don’t know by what means he managed to kill Head Constable Chen so effortlessly. I’m so envious!”
“He definitely encountered some extraordinary fortune, something not to be envied.”

Watching Jiang Fan’s departing figure, the City Guards began to whisper amongst themselves.
Just then, a sharp longsword sped in from the depths of the Outer City, “Someone has been killed in the city, and you think you can leave?”
Enveloped in sword light, with a long tail of radiance dragging behind it, the longsword aimed straight at Jiang Fan!
Jiang Fan turned around, his palms coming together to catch the longsword perfectly, but he was also hit by such formidable power that he was forced to fly backwards, skimming the ground for more than ten meters before stabilizing his form.
“A Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse?” Jiang Fan focused his gaze towards where the longsword had come from, and there, a brocade-clad young man was floating in midair.
“Brother Jiang Fan, that is from the South Mysterious Alliance. You should get going quickly!” the leading City Guard called out in a low voice.
Jiang Fan shook his head slightly, eyeing the brocade-clad young man, waiting for his arrival.
The South Mysterious Alliance was the administrative body of the Outer City, composed of cultivators and equivalent to the imperial court. It had over a hundred districts, each with its own Yamen to maintain law and order in the city.
The Alliance Hierarch of the South Mysterious Alliance was equivalent to the Earth Emperor of the Outer City, but they had to follow the commands of the Lord City’s Mansion in the Inner City.
It could be said that the South Mysterious Alliance was the heaven of the Outer City.
The young man landed several dozen meters from Jiang Fan, hands behind his back, his expression stern, “Not bad, Golden Core Stage Complete, and you could catch my flying sword.”
“Surrender now and spare your life.”
Jian Fan’s demeanor remained calm, “You don’t even ask the whole story, and you want me to surrender?”
“Is there need to ask? Killing someone in the city, even an Immortal must be punished!” The young man’s hands, previously behind his back, moved to cross in front of his chest.
The onlookers, who had already knelt at the young man’s arrival, heard his words, and the City Guard leader hurriedly said, “Honorable Upper Immortal, the man Jiang Fan killed was a malefactor responsible for the disappearance of children in seventy-three districts…”
With a dismissive wave of his hand, the young man sent the City Guard flying outwards, crashing into a city wall before sliding down, blood spilling from his mouth, with who knows how many bones broken.
Jiang Fan frowned slightly, “Does the South Mysterious Alliance hold such regard for human life?”
“Am I to be preached to by mortals? Leaving him breathing is already a mercy he should be grateful for,” the young man said, indifferent.
Jiang Fan held the young man’s flying longsword in his hand, “Then you should also be grateful to me!”
As soon as the words were out, Jiang Fan had crossed several tens of meters to arrive in front of the young man, thrusting his sword directly at the young man’s heart.
The young man’s face was full of disdain, “Just at the Golden Core Stage, and you dare to strike at me?”
The young man raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers pinching towards the flying sword.
The disparity in their realms was clear; he believed that Jiang Fan could not possibly harm him.
The young man easily caught the tip of the sword, but in the next second, his expression changed dramatically!
Because the sword was wrapped in Jiang Fan’s True Yuan, and with his strength, he was unexpectedly unable to disperse this layer of True Yuan. In other words, although he had caught the tip of the sword, he couldn’t stop the flying sword at all and could only watch helplessly as the flying sword pierced his chest!
Thud!
The heart was pierced, and the young man’s mouth spurted blood wildly, his eyes full of disbelief.
This was his own flying sword!
“I’ve spared you a breath; now, are you not grateful to me?” Jiang Fan said indifferently.
The young man’s mouth was full of blood, and he could no longer speak.
Glaring at Jiang Fan with hatred, he then took out a Spirit Pill and swallowed it before slowly pulling out the flying sword, “You’re courting death!”
Once a Cultivator reached the Nascent Soul Stage, having a pierced heart wasn’t a big deal; a Spirit Pill could bring about recovery, albeit slowly.
Jiang Fan sneered, “Angry? Want to kill now? What happened to being grateful?”
While speaking, Jiang Fan once again dashed forward, his fist thundering towards the young man.
The young man was seriously injured and had to hastily control his flying sword to slash at Jiang Fan, but Jiang Fan easily deflected the flying sword with a punch and continued his momentum, punching the young man in the Dantian.
Boom!
A dull thud sounded as a powerful surge of True Yuan exploded from the young man’s Dantian, and his vitality immediately started to wane as his life force began to dissipate!
Clearly, that punch had shattered the young man’s Nascent Soul.
In that one month in the Immortal Palace, which equated to over sixty years, he, along with Gu Bikong and his sister, had fought countless times, so their combat experience was extremely rich.
“Stop… Ah! Bastard!”
A raging roar came from afar once more!
That roaring voice intended to stop Jiang Fan, but it was obviously too late!
The owner of that roaring voice must have never imagined that a mid-Nascent Soul Stage youth would die by the hands of someone who had merely achieved Complete Golden Core Stage.
“The little ones have been beaten, and now the old come forward. South Mysterious Alliance… huh!”
Jiang Fan made no attempt to hide his contempt and, without paying any attention to the person rushing towards him, quickly walked over to the gravely injured City Guard and gave him a pill to swallow.
As the pill was swallowed, the owner of the roaring voice was closing in!
It was a man who looked to be in his sixties, his whole body radiating fluctuations that were of the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Seeing the City Guard’s injuries improve, Jiang Fan didn’t hesitate and dashed out of the city gates, heading straight into the distance.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
However, after flying out more than twenty miles, Jiang Fan was intercepted by the old man, “Bastard, do you know who the person you killed is?”
“No matter who he was, he deserved to die!” Jiang Fan was unfazed and said calmly.
The old man’s killing intent surged, “The one who deserves to die is you! Boy, I will crush you into ten thousand pieces for Mr. Qin to have a companion in death!”
With a roar, the old man suddenly raised his hand, and immediately the air above pulsed, condensing into a giant hand that smashed ruthlessly towards Jiang Fan!
Before the Qi clouded hand arrived, the ground around Jiang Fan had already collapsed under the pressure!
Just as the Qi clouded hand drew near, suddenly, a bright sword light flashed by, dispersing the Qi clouded hand.
“An Upper Immortal bullying a Golden Core Stage, old man, isn’t that shameless? Does your family know about this?” Gu Bikong’s voice rang out..
