Chapter 43 Code Name: Donghuang
Xia Peng is a chief of staff of the provincial garrison. His soldier had his finger chopped off and his gun taken away by Xiao Chen...
This is an extremely egregious act, and it challenges Xia Peng's authority.
Xia Peng was furious. He got up and walked out to meet that abandoned son of the Xiao family.
The Xia family patriarch and others followed, heading off with great momentum to demand an explanation.
From afar, two soldiers lying groaning in pain could be seen at the entrance, with Bai Wu holding two rifles in his hands.
Bai Wu slammed the rifle against his knee, and with two clicks, two pieces of scrap metal appeared on the ground.
Xia Peng's face was terribly gloomy, like a volcano about to erupt.
"Xiao Chen, you are utterly lawless! You even dare to touch people from the military, are you tired of living?" He Qin shouted, pointing at Xiao Chen.
Without saying a word, Xiao Chen slowly walked through the gate in front of all the Xia family members.
They tried to get him to crawl through the dog hole, but he insisted on walking in upright, and no one could stop him.
The Xia family members all looked grim.
"What a discarded son of the Xiao family!" The Xia family head sneered and said, "I'm starting to admire you now. If you weren't a jinx and your life wasn't so cheap, you might actually be able to compete with Xiao Yichen."
"Unfortunately, it's destined to be a worthless life," Xia Peng said calmly, his tone revealing no undisguised contempt.
"You've got guts, daring to touch my people. I'll have to think about how to deal with you." He looked Xiao Chen up and down, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
"Listen to me, everyone, it's all a misunderstanding..." Xia Liuli stood in the middle, trying to explain and smooth things over, but the Xia family members were unwilling to listen to her at all.
"Xia Liuli, that's enough! Things have come to this point, and you still want to protect this lawless scoundrel! Get over here right now!" He Qin scolded and interrupted.
The Xia family patriarch stared at Bai Wu next to Xiao Chen for a few moments, his brows furrowing.
"Bai Wu didn't die, but became the bodyguard of the Xiao family's abandoned son?" He found this somewhat troublesome.
The other members of the Xia family also changed their expressions, looking wary.
Bai Wu's reputation was once so formidable that the Xia family dared not underestimate him.
Xia Peng, however, remained calm and unconcerned.
"The former underworld overlord? Ha, who dares to call themselves overlord in front of the army?" He scoffed, and with a slight wave of his hand, more than a dozen soldiers appeared in the courtyard, their wounds aimed at Xiao Chen and Bai Wu.
Seeing this, the Xia family felt more confident.
“You injured my men and destroyed our weapons. Even if I execute you on the spot, I will have a legitimate reason to question you!” Xia Peng said coldly.
With just a glance from him, the soldiers were about to kill Xiao Chen and his companion on the spot.
Xia Liuli, who wanted to stop them, was pulled back and prevented from getting closer.
"Xia Peng, wait a minute." He Qin was anxious and quickly called out to stop.
She stared at Xiao Chen, her words full of threat.
"Xiao Chen, if you don't want to die, hand over the formula for the Youth Pill, otherwise, you'll be shot!"
"Yes, hand over the formula, and we'll spare your life!" the Xia family shouted in agreement.
Xiao Chen smiled contemptuously, finally understanding the Xia family's true purpose.
Xia Liuli looked incredulous and ashamed of the Xia family's despicable behavior.
"So you wanted the Youth Pill. Even if we gave you the recipe, no one in the Xia family could make it!" Xiao Chen said disdainfully.
"Stop talking nonsense! Hand it over now! Do you want to die?" the Xia family members shouted.
"Whether you can refine it or not is none of your concern. I know a top-level physician in Xia Kingdom whose research in pharmacology is unmatched by many in the country. He should be arriving soon..." the Xia family head said with a smile.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
Even top-tier doctors have been called in...
Xiao Chen was confident that even if the most outstanding physicians in the entire Xia Kingdom were present, they would not be able to refine the Youth Pill based on the formula.
Because it was a recipe he inherited from his master, which required extremely special conditions to be refined, and only their lineage met the requirements.
Even if he wasn't worried, he wouldn't give out the recipe.
The mighty King of the Underworld suffered a tragic end in his previous life, being controlled by others. How can he be subservient in this life?
"If you want the Youth Pill, you can come and steal it," Xiao Chen said calmly.
The Xia family members' expressions hardened.
They couldn't understand how Xiao Chen could disobey when a gun was pointed at him. Was he really not afraid of death?
"I'll count to three. If you still don't give in, the bullets won't have eyes," Xia Peng said impatiently.
“One,” he called out the first number.
"Don't shoot!" Xia Liuli shouted, trying to stand in front of Xiao Chen, but she was too weak to break free.
Xiao Chen remained expressionless and motionless.
Even when the Xia family threatened and tried to persuade him, he remained unmoved.
"Two." Xia Peng counted to the second number. Seeing that Xiao Chen was still looking at him with a mocking expression, he couldn't help but frown and his face turned cold.
He stopped counting and simply waved his hand.
"Bang bang bang..."
The expected gunshots did not ring out; instead, muffled thuds and groans came from all around.
Xia Peng looked around and found that all his men had fallen and were no longer able to fire a gun.
Four men dressed in black, just like Bai Wu, stood in four directions. They dealt with the dozen or so soldiers in a short time.
"Who is it?" The Xia family was shocked.
These four people are faster than a gun; it's simply astonishing!
Xia Peng's expression turned serious as he stared at the four people with suspicion and uncertainty.
Having experienced the battlefield, he could tell that all five of them, including Bai Wu, possessed a strong murderous aura, with the other four being even more so, having taken countless lives.
How could such a being help the Xiao family's abandoned son?
"Who are you people? How dare you!" Xia Peng's aura was not much weaker as he coldly rebuked them.
“According to the law, you are all guilty of a capital offense!” he said coldly.
Of course, none of the Five Netherworld Guardian Birds would pay him any attention.
Xiao Chen took two steps forward, his expression displeased.
“You’re Lu Qingshan’s subordinate, aren’t you? I’d like to ask him how he managed to train such cowardly soldiers,” he said.
Xia Peng's expression immediately changed, and he looked furious.
Lu Qingshan was his superior, the highest-ranking officer of the provincial garrison, and a combat hero whom he admired.
"How dare you address the commander by his given name! I won't let you get away with this!" Xia Peng roared, personally taking action to teach Xiao Chen a lesson.
Xiao Chen remained calm and motionless, while Bai Wu moved with lightning speed, rendering Xia Peng incapacitated with a single elbow strike.
Xia Peng stared wide-eyed, his stomach churning, his expression one of disbelief.
He was an elite soldier, naturally proficient in combat skills, and a top-notch special forces soldier.
But in front of Bai Wu, a rough and unruly man from the martial arts world, he was subdued without even being able to withstand a single move.
The opponent is too fast and too powerful.
Is this some kind of skill that a gangster from the South City could possibly possess?
The Xia family was stunned.
Even Xia Peng was no match for them!
Xiao Chen's recklessness also shocked them.
"I'll give Lu Qingshan some face. You'd better call him now and ask what the code name 'Eastern Emperor' means," Xiao Chen said calmly, looking down at Xia Peng.
"Donghuang?" Xia Peng's body trembled upon hearing this...
