Chapter 271: So What if I Touch You?

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: So What if I Touch You?

The four so-called commanders under Luo Qilin of the Southern Domain Battle Department screamed as they landed before the assassins of the Ten Thousand Ghosts.

The assassins, who had taken the drug, were now in a frenzy.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

With a series of sickening snaps, the four commanders were crippled on the spot.

Qin Tianxuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, waiting for the four "ghosts" to finish off the Southern Domain’s commanders. Only then did he slowly step forward and strike again.

The assassins from the Ten Thousand Ghosts were still utterly powerless to resist!

Under Qin Tianxuan’s peerless techniques, they collapsed once more, unable to rise.

"The Ten Thousand Ghosts... We must analyze this drug they’re taking and find a countermeasure!" Qin Tianxuan did not let his guard down. "If hundreds, or even thousands, of the Ten Thousand Ghosts took this potential-activating drug on the battlefields of the Southern Domain, it would be a disaster!"

Wang Hou waved his hand, and the Night Emperor’s Guard carried the four fiends away.

The banquet on the top floor of Brocade Mansion was now in ruins.

Shards of tables and chairs were strewn everywhere. The decorative lanterns were smashed, and the banners had been torn down.

For the Canglan Family, who had hosted the banquet, it was a total disaster.

In the silence, Ding Shaoyang of the Jin City Commerce Association rushed forward excitedly and bowed a full ninety degrees to Qin Tianxuan. "Mr. Qin, your divine might is unparalleled! You protected us and saved Jin City. On behalf of the Jin City Commerce Association, I am eternally grateful!"

Ding Shaoyang was a passionate man himself.

Having personally witnessed the Night Emperor unleash his awesome might, defeat a powerful enemy, and preserve the honor of Jin City, he was truly grateful beyond words.

The other representatives from Jin City also rushed forward, bowing in unison.

It was a magnificent sight.

Qin Tianxuan’s expression was placid. "I am just an ordinary member of the Battle Department. When foreign enemies invade, it is my duty to strike them down. There is no need for such ceremony."

Cang Bingyan watched from a distance, her eyes flickering as a tempest of emotions raged in her heart.

Lifting her dress, she summoned her courage and walked over.

Filled with immense regret, Cang Bingyan lowered her proud head. "I’m sorry, Mr. Qin. I’m so ashamed. You are the true number one expert of the Battle Department. I was such a fool before, letting that Luo Qilin..."

Before she could finish, Qin Tianxuan cut her off coldly. "Do I need an apology from you? From start to finish, have I ever given a damn about your stupid stunts?"

Merciless and cold.

He showed the young lady of the Canglan Family no respect whatsoever.

Cang Bingyan’s face flushed crimson, and tears welled in her eyes.

Qin Tianxuan remained indifferent. "If it weren’t for your brother, the Heaven-Suppressing King, I would have already uprooted your Canglan Family!"

Cang Bingyan finally couldn’t hold back and burst out sobbing.

The entire room fell deathly silent, finally understanding the true extent of Qin Tianxuan’s ruthlessness.

Even the great Canglan Family of the Imperial Capital was nothing in his eyes.

"How audacious!" an angry shout rang out.

An older man of about fifty, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, appeared. He walked straight up to Cang Bingyan, gave her a cold glance, and slapped her across the face.

Cang Bingyan clutched her face, not daring to move. "Fourth Uncle, you... when did you arrive?"

Fourth Uncle Cang, an important figure in the Canglan Family, wore a grim expression. "I rushed here from the Imperial Capital for two reasons. First, your brother, Cang Bufan, has been stripped of his position as the Heaven-Suppressing King. He brought it on himself—this is what happens when you offend the wrong people!"

"What!"

Cang Bingyan was in disbelief. "Who... Who could strip my brother of his position?"

Fourth Uncle Cang gritted his teeth. "It was the doing of the Divine Doctor Ye Family and the Daqin Royal Family! And do you know why? All because you were a disappointment and Grand Commander Luo Qilin broke off your engagement!"

At this, Fourth Uncle Cang grew even more furious and slapped Cang Bingyan again. "You worthless bitch! What on earth did you do to make Grand Commander Luo Qilin so furious?"

The old bastard clasped his hands behind his back. "That brings me to the second reason I came to Jin City: to take you to the Martial Arts Arena to atone and apologize. We must make Grand Commander Luo Qilin change his mind!"

By now, Cang Bingyan’s eyes were swollen, and her pale face was covered in red finger marks.

She was filled with an endless sorrow.

’So, I’m just a tool for the family. If I fail my mission, I’m to be humiliated like this.’

Fourth Uncle Cang now wore a look of utter disdain. "Don’t you give me that funereal look. Your brother Cang Bufan has already been detained by the family guards at the Jin City office. I’ll deal with him properly when I get back. As for you, don’t think you’re some great young lady. If you can’t fulfill the family’s mission, you can be discarded at any moment!"

Casting aside her dignity, Cang Bingyan began to plead, "Brother has bled and toiled for the family for years! Even if he made a mistake, you can’t just ’deal with him’ like that! Fourth Uncle, please don’t do this."

SLAP!

Another slap!

This time, Fourth Uncle Cang’s strike was even more vicious, splitting Cang Bingyan’s lip and drawing blood.

Wang Hou, Ding Shaoyang, and the others could no longer bear to watch.

But Qin Tianxuan remained silent.

Fourth Uncle Cang rolled his eyes. "Cang Bingyan, haven’t you caused enough disgrace? Believe it or not, I can punish you right here on the spot! Do you think the family rules are just for show? Hmm?"

He took a step forward and raised his hand again.

"Stop!" Qin Tianxuan finally spoke. "Cang Bufan is my friend. If the Canglan Family dares to touch him, you will be making an enemy of me!"

Fourth Uncle Cang turned his head with a sinister grin. "Fuck! Who the hell do you think you are? I’m dealing with a family junior. Is it your place to spout nonsense?"

He swung his palm, putting his full strength behind a vicious slap aimed at Cang Bingyan’s face.

CRUNCH!

Fourth Uncle Cang’s hand, raised mid-swing, was caught by the wrist in Qin Tianxuan’s grip.

The horrifying sound of a bone shattering filled the air.

Fourth Uncle Cang let out a sharp, miserable scream as Qin Tianxuan slammed him to the ground, yelping in pain.

"You have some nerve! How dare you touch me..." Fourth Uncle Cang shrieked.

SNAP!

Qin Tianxuan gave his wrist a cold, indifferent twist.

Fourth Uncle Cang’s arm was twisted behind his back, his eyes bulging as if they would pop out of their sockets.

"So what if I touched you?"
