Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

"People of Xinghua Village, you just wait! The strongmen of my stronghold will arrive soon. If you have the guts, don't run!"

After being helped up, the young leader wiped the blood from his face and roared with rage, uttering vicious threats.

Having said that, they limped away.

However, before they could take two steps, Jun Wuxie chased after them, kicking all three of them, sending them flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

Having just regained their ability to move, they were struck again, causing them to scream miserably, struggling several times without being able to get up.

"Didn't I tell you? There's a price to pay for talking tough.

How could you be so foolish as to shout while being fish on a chopping board. How did you even live to this age?"

"You—"

The three were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood, and were about to utter more threats, but when they saw him approaching, they trembled with fear, swallowing all the words back down.

Their bodies having recovered slightly, they immediately scrambled away, utterly disgraced, not daring to look back or utter a sound, only focusing on limping away as fast as they could.

The pedestrians on the street all stopped in their tracks, watching this scene in stunned silence.

So, the people of Xinghua Village are actually this powerful?

It seems contrary to what we've always understood.

Weren't they said to have been suppressed by Mang Village since ancient times, making it difficult for them to develop and leading to a small population?

"Everyone, if others don't offend me, I won't offend them. If you are well, then it's a sunny day."

Jun Wuxie's gaze swept over the crowd, especially those whose eyes carried hostility.

Then, he turned and entered the inn.

The shopkeeper of the Yuan Ke Inn was still kneeling honestly near the broken counter. Throughout the entire process, he didn't dare to move his knees even slightly.

His subordinates were the same, huddled on the ground, not daring to move.

Seeing Jun Wuxie enter, they even held their breath, not daring to breathe loudly, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

"Are you hungry?"

Jun Wuxie looked at Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu, and led them to an area on the first floor that hadn't been affected by the battle.

The tables and chairs there were intact, and there were still many diners.

Seeing them coming, some diners couldn't help but become nervous.

Jun Wuxie, of course, wouldn't go looking for trouble with them.

He led Hua Qi and the others to a table by the window, and told the waiter to bring good wine and good food.

The waiter had long been frightened into hiding in a corner by this series of events.

Hearing the fierce young man call him, he hurriedly and cautiously walked out, handing over the menu.

Throughout the entire process, the waiter kept his head down, not daring to look at Jun Wuxie and the others at all.

"Are we that scary?"

"No, no, no… It's not…"

The waiter trembled in fear, his legs going weak.

"If you don't provoke us, you'll be safe."

"Yes, yes, yes, I wouldn't dare to be presumptuous…"

The waiter hurriedly nodded and bowed, terrified.

Jun Wuxie ordered two dishes, and then let Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu order.

As a result, they looked at the menu with embarrassment.

Jun Wuxie immediately understood, took the menu, and ordered a dozen dishes in one breath.

Hua Qing and the others rarely came out, and even on the few occasions they came to town, they had never been to an inn or restaurant, so they didn't know what these dishes were.

After recording the order, the waiter took the menu and hurried away.

The entire first floor of the inn was quiet. Apart from the faint sounds of diners eating, almost no other sound could be heard.

"Did you vent your anger today? Was it satisfying?"

Jun Wuxie looked at the three of them, whose eyes still showed excitement, and said with a smile.

"It was satisfying! It was so satisfying!"

Hua Qing clenched and unclenched his fists.

Xinghua Village, generation after generation, had suffered suppression and targeting throughout this long period.

In the village, they were targeted and schemed against by Mang Village.

Occasionally, when they came to town to collect supplies, they could only hide their identities, not daring to reveal themselves, and every step was like walking on thin ice.

That kind of situation was really too uncomfortable.

For generations, they had been holding their breath, thinking that one day they could walk out without any worries, without hiding, without being so careful.

Now it had finally come true, and it was so powerful.

"It's good that you feel satisfied. You've been suppressed for so long, it's time to release your emotions.

The road ahead should continue to be satisfying.

As long as anyone dares to provoke you, don't have any worries, just attack directly.

If you can't beat them, I'll come."

"Yes, Master!"

Hua Qi rubbed his hands excitedly, meaning that in the future, as long as anyone dared to provoke them, they wouldn't have to endure it, and they could just go and fight.

This was fighting on master's orders, with master backing them up, so what was there to worry about?

"If only they were here too."

Hua Qing and Hua Hu sighed. Two strong men, but their tiger eyes were slightly wet at this moment.

Their generations had lived too aggrievedly.

Now this feeling, compared to the previous years of compromise and forbearance, was really heartbreaking to think about.

"Life is still very long. They will have plenty of opportunities in the future to experience a completely different life than before, to release the emotions that have been suppressed in their hearts."

"What Lord Jun said is true."

Hua Qing and Hua Hu both nodded.

The diners at the nearby tables, listening to their conversation, although they remained silent, many of them felt that the person was too arrogant, daring to speak so presumptuously.

Did he really think he was invincible?

He even said that they wouldn't have to worry about anything in the future, and could attack directly if anyone dared to provoke them.

They should know that even in this town, it wasn't his place to be so arrogant.

Once the strongmen of those major forces arrived, they would be in for a good show.

Not to mention going to the larger county town, and the even higher-level prefecture and state capital.

"Sure enough, they are frogs in a well who have never left their rural mountain village for generations."

Some people couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

It seemed that the man wearing the moon-white sword robe should be a visitor from the outside world.

According to the registration roster for the Heaven-Sent Battle event, the visitor from the outside world was named Jun Wuxie.

And just now, those people all called him Lord Jun.

Thus, it could be basically confirmed that he was that Jun Wuxie.

A cultivator from the outside world, I wonder what level of world he comes from.

Now it seems that it's probably just a low-level world, with extremely limited horizons, so he dares to speak so wildly, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.

At this time, the waiter brought up all kinds of dishes, full of color, aroma, and taste. Just smelling the aroma made Hua Qi and the others couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

They had never eaten these before.

Living in the village for generations, at most they would eat some of the flesh and blood of Lishu beasts, and they didn't dare to eat too much, because there was Lishu Qi in the flesh and blood of Lishu beasts.

They needed to process it, but because their processing methods couldn't be as clever as Jun Wuxie's, who could directly peel off the Lishu Qi, they needed to refine the Lishu Qi, and they couldn't refine it completely.

In the process of refining, the texture of the meat would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, most of the time they ate corn porridge, corn cobs, corn kernels, corn soup, corn cakes, and occasionally some Lishu beast meat with a bad texture and some wild vegetables pickled into sauerkraut.

"Eat."

Jun Wuxie picked up the wine pot, and Hua Qi immediately stood up, taking the wine pot from his hand to pour fine wine for him and his two uncles.

With a large table full of dishes, Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu ate heartily, tasting such delicious food, making them unable to stop.

Delicious dishes entered their mouths, and after a few rounds of toasting and drinking, they were already nine-tenths full.

At this time, a noisy sound came from the entrance of the inn.

Immediately afterward, four middle-aged men stepped into the inn, their aura very strong.

As soon as they came in, they saw the shopkeeper kneeling near the counter, and their pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

This scene was something they had never expected.

The shopkeeper of Yuan Ke Inn was actually still kneeling here.

Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had been maintaining this posture all the time, not daring to move.

Seeing them arrive, the shopkeeper's face immediately showed excitement.

At this moment, he changed his previous forbearance and suddenly stood up.

"Fellow Daoists, you've finally come! Today, I ask you fellow Daoists to stand up for me!"

The shopkeeper of the inn was emotionally agitated, his eyes shooting out a light of hatred, the humiliation in his heart making him feel as uncomfortable as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at his heart.

"Did I let you get up?"

A calm voice rang out on the first floor of the inn.

The four who came in looked in the direction of the voice and saw the speaker, a young man in a moon-white sword robe at a table by the window.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Yuan Ke Inn laughed wildly, his expression distorted by anger and hatred, and said in a cold voice: "In front of the four fellow Daoists from the Fierce Saber Sect, the Tyrant Sword Manor, the Zou Family, and the Fu Family, you still dare to be arrogant, you are truly extremely arrogant!"

Having someone to back him up, the shopkeeper naturally no longer needed to be afraid.

The arrival of the four fellow Daoists represented the four major forces of this ancient town.

How could this kind of weight be resisted by Xinghua Village and an outsider?

"Presumably, you are that outsider Jun Wuxie from the Heaven-Sent Battle event registration roster?"

One of the middle-aged powerhouses from the four major forces spoke.

Jun Wuxie did not respond to this, his fingers gently tapping on the table, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't meddle in other people's business."

"We all have friendships with the shopkeeper of Yuan Ke Inn.

How can we sit idly by today?

You have already treated the shopkeeper like this, why are you still pressing so hard?

Why not give us some face and let this matter be dropped for now?"

"Fellow Daoist…"

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper of Yuan Ke Inn looked astonished.

He originally thought that the powerhouses of the four major forces had come, and they would definitely help him deal with that outsider and the people of Xinghua Village.

He never thought that their first choice would not be to attack directly!

The surrounding crowd was also astonished.

This did not conform to the style of the four major forces.

Shouldn't they directly go up and kill the people of Xinghua Village and that outsider?

“There has never been any intersection between me and you, and we do not know each other. Where does this talk of favor come from? The shopkeeper of Yuan Ke Residence must continue to kneel.”

This was Jun Wuxie’s response.

The expressions of the powerhouses from the four major forces immediately turned gloomy.

Could it be that even their words were ineffective?

Truly arrogant to the extreme, purely courting death!

If they hadn't considered that this person had beaten the young master of one of the Seven Strongholds, and the stronghold leader of that stronghold would definitely not let it go and would soon bring powerhouses, they would not have said these things and would have already taken action.

Their leaders had instructed them that it was best to let one of the Seven Strongholds first clash with that outsider to further probe his depths.

“Are you serious?

Could it be that you haven’t inquired about what kind of existence our four major forces are in this town?”

They felt anger because the other party did not give them face.

No one had ever dared to ignore their words like this!

“If there are no problems with your hearing, then it is highly probable that it is true.”

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he took a sip of wine.

“Hmph, if we insist on taking away the shopkeeper of Yuan Ke Residence and his subordinates today, what will you do?”

Jun Wuxie poured a cup of wine, not looking at the four people, and said, “You can try.”

“You, a mere outsider, have no foundation or background here, yet you dare to speak such arrogant words!

Shopkeeper, let’s go!”

The powerhouse from the Raging Blade Sect grabbed the shopkeeper of Yuan Ke Residence and was about to leave.

The shopkeeper’s two subordinates at the demigod realm immediately followed, also preparing to leave.

They were not afraid now; with someone backing them, what was there to fear?

Almost simultaneously, Jun Wuxie, holding the wine cup, waved it casually.

With a rumble, the wine from the cup flew out, erupting with a momentum like a rushing river.

The wine transformed into several streams, condensing into arrow shapes, shooting towards the shopkeeper of Yuan Ke Residence and his two subordinates.

They had never expected that he would launch an attack from dozens of meters away.

Moreover, the water arrows were too fast, flashing like lightning, leaving them no time to react.

Pfft!

Fresh blood splattered, accompanied by the miserable screams of the shopkeeper of Yuan Ke Residence and his subordinates.

Their knees were pierced by the arrows made of wine, and with a thud, they knelt down, blood flowing profusely.
