In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Things Have Blown Up!

However, in Shen Xing’s view, it was somewhat ridiculous.

Even if he relied on external forces, he still possessed an Innate-level deterrent. In fact, without armor or defensive Spiritual Weapons, even Innate Realm experts couldn’t withstand a direct attack from the POD.

Yet, a mere junior dared to come and negotiate terms?

And such laughable terms at that.

If he agreed, he feared that his prestige would plummet in the eyes of the major powers. His carefully constructed persona would be exposed as a sham, and all sorts of trouble would come knocking.

However, through the analysis of the “Great Detective” software, he could roughly discern the other party’s intentions.

They were not fools, but rather, they were testing the waters.

Whether Shen Xing agreed or not, they would be able to glean valuable information.

Moreover, their arrogance was genuine.

Their attitude towards Shen Xing could be described as “somewhat respectful, but not overly so.”

“Are all members of your Pang Family like this?” Shen Xing sighed internally and asked slowly.

“What?” Pang Qingshan frowned.

“Pang Yan was the same. After hearing some rumors, he thought he could control me. Pang Yue was even more foolish. Only after his brother died did he think to run.” Shen Xing shook his head slowly. “Each and every one of you refuses to see the coffin until it’s too late.”

This world also had coffins. Although they didn’t have this saying, they understood its meaning.

Pang Qingshan’s face darkened.

“If you insult my Pang Family, you should think carefully.” His tone turned icy. “This is not a small place like Clearwater City.”

Shen Xing chuckled softly.

Not long ago, he had felt that this city had a somewhat advanced and developed feel.

Now, that perception had been shattered.

Looking at Pang Qingshan’s demeanor, he was no different from the Zhang and He families of Clearwater City.

They lacked sufficient respect for the unknown that exceeded their existing knowledge.

Coincidentally, since this member of the Pang Family had tentatively sought him out, they had delivered themselves as a perfect target.

Shen Xing had no intention of letting go of this opportunity to make an example of them and establish his dominance.

With the firepower he currently possessed, it would indeed be difficult to completely overwhelm Dragon Flood City, but suppressing the Pang Family should not be a problem.

“How about we change the terms of our deal?” His gaze swept across the group, a playful smile on his lips. “The Pang Family sends twenty Marrow Transformation Pills, and I’ll spare your life. How about it?”

When these words were spoken, not only the group in front of him, but even Miao Li, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

Only Gong Changsong and Gong Changgang looked at Pang Qingshan with a hint of pity.

Their Young Master Shen was not a kind or merciful person.

He was a veritable killing god!

It took a moment for Pang Qingshan to react, and when he did, his face flushed red with anger and disbelief.

Spare his life?

He was the eldest grandson of the Pang Family’s direct line, a Late-Marrow Tempering Stage expert!

“How dare you!” A Pang Family member behind Pang Qingshan, also at the Marrow Tempering Stage, roared. “Even if you have some tricks up your sleeve, my Pang Family…”

Whoosh—!

A faint flash of lightning, followed by a spurt of blood. An arm flew into the air.

Shen Xing had drawn his saber!

After severing the arm of the one who spoke, the long saber was already resting on Pang Qingshan’s neck.

Compared to the time he killed over ten Marrow Tempering Stage experts in Clearwater City, he was now much stronger!

A mere Late-Marrow Tempering Stage expert from this other world was not worth his attention.

He could kill him with ease.

With his saber resting on Pang Qingshan’s neck, Shen Xing’s expression remained unchanged as he asked calmly, “So, do you want to die, or do you want to live?”

Except for Gong Changsong and Gong Changgang, probably no one could have imagined that Shen Xing would strike so directly.

And with such powerful saber techniques!

The scene fell into a collective silence.

Only when the person whose arm was severed screamed did the other young masters, who were splattered with blood, start to scream as well.

The scene instantly became chaotic.

Pang Qingshan felt the coldness on his neck, the terrifying sharpness that seemed to have already pierced his skin. His face was drained of all color.

He couldn’t see it!

He hadn’t been able to see the other party’s saber draw at all. He could only vaguely see a flash of lightning, and then the saber was already on his neck!

It had even severed the arm of the person behind him first!

Pang Qingshan was absolutely certain that if the other party’s hand trembled even slightly, his head would roll off his neck.

He would die!

Even though he was nearly thirty years old, had reached the Late-Marrow Tempering Stage, had experienced many battles, and even mastered many powerful Divine Intent Inheritances, none of that mattered at this moment!

This sudden brush with death plunged him into deep fear.

His hands trembled, and his legs trembled!

But he dared not move an inch!

“Release my young master!” Pang Qingshan had naturally not come alone. He was accompanied by many guards.

◈◈◈

Among them were even two Organ Tempering Stage elders!

Organ Tempering Stage experts at this age basically had no chance of reaching the Innate Realm. They had been forcibly elevated using resources. But even so, they were still Organ Tempering Stage experts.

At this moment, they each displayed their powerful Martial Path Intents, creating an impressive display.

However, just as these two Organ Tempering Stage experts jumped out, two dull thuds rang out, and their heads exploded!

Everyone could clearly see that a large hole had been blasted through the brick wall in the distance!

For the POD, which possessed military-grade sensors, hiding inside a building was not very effective. Ordinary bricks like these couldn’t stop it, and the trajectory of the bullets wouldn’t be affected in the slightest.

This time, even Miao Li’s face turned pale.

Things had blown up!

He had originally thought to use Pang Qingshan to test Young Master Shen’s strength, but he never expected him to be even more decisive and ruthless than the rumors suggested!

His strikes either severed limbs or killed!

Even the strength of those “flying puppets” was greater than rumored.

Even an Innate Realm expert might not be able to blast through a wall from such a distance and instantly kill two Organ Tempering Stage experts!

“No answer? Do you want to die then?”

“I want to live! I want to live!” Pang Qingshan was jolted back to his senses and shouted almost instinctively.

At this moment, he didn’t care about face or status. He only wanted to survive.

“Then I’ll have to trouble the Spring Rain Trading Company to bring a sturdy rope,” Shen Xing said to Miao lighty. “And prepare some brush and ink. Let this Pang Qingshan write a letter to send to the Pang Family.”

“This…” Miao Li couldn’t help but shudder.

The look in his eyes as he regarded Shen Xing had completely changed.

The Pang Family could naturally provide twenty Marrow Transformation Pills. However, killing two of their Organ Tempering Stage experts, kidnapping their eldest grandson, and demanding that the Pang Family bring resources to apologize—this was clearly an attempt to step on the Pang Family to build his own prestige!

Yes, Shen Xing’s purpose was not difficult to discern. But understanding his purpose was not important. What was important was that he had the confidence to do so, and he had done it!

“Didn’t you hear what Young Master Shen said?” Another voice suddenly interjected.

Miao Li trembled again and turned to look at the newcomer.

“Manager, Your Excellency.”

Indeed, the newcomer was an old man with a head of silver hair, neatly dressed, and exuding an air of authority.

He was the manager of the Spring Rain Trading Company in Dragon Flood City, an Innate Realm expert!

Shen Xing had actually already detected the other party’s presence. The POD had already conducted a comprehensive scan of the area, and this old man was the only Innate Realm expert in the entire building.

“Do as Young Master Shen commands,” the Innate Realm old man said in a deep voice.

“Yes!” Miao Li quickly went to find rope, brush, and ink.

The old man did not approach Shen Xing. He merely took a deep look at the large hole in the wall, then smiled warmly at Shen Xing. “Today, our Spring Rain Trading Company has also been remiss, allowing a group of juniors to disturb Young Master Shen. Our Spring Rain Trading Company will cover the cost of that Bone Tempering Pill as an apology. What does Young Master Shen think?”

Pang Qingshan, who was standing to the side, was already in complete despair.

He had met this old man before. Even his own Innate Realm grandfather treated him with great respect.

He was a Late-Innate Stage expert!

But he couldn’t imagine that even an Innate Realm expert would be so wary of this person.

Yes, wary!

The Innate Realm was not just a realm, it also represented absolute dominance over those in the Body Tempering Realm!

With a lifespan of over two hundred years and immense power, Innate Realm experts were in a completely different class.

Without wariness, there was no way an Innate Realm expert would treat a Body Tempering Stage expert with such an attitude!

And the truth was exactly that.

The POD had already aimed its heat-melting warheads, specifically designed to deal with Innate Realm experts, at the old man. With the acute senses brought by the manifestation of the Divine Soul, the old man could sense the danger!

“Senior is too kind.” Shen Xing smiled faintly. Even in the face of an Innate Realm expert, his expression remained unchanged. “The scale of the Spring Rain Trading Company is quite impressive even in this remote region. It’s not easy for this Young Master to find a place to spend money these days.”

The Innate Realm old man’s expression seemed to shift slightly upon hearing these words. He took a deep look at Shen Xing.

Such composure could not be faked without sufficient experience.

The other party definitely came from a major power in the Outer Region!

He just didn’t know what their purpose was in coming to this remote place.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out a new jade token from his sleeve.

“If Young Master Shen doesn’t mind, please accept this ‘Supreme Member’ token. From now on, Young Master Shen will be the most esteemed guest of our Spring Rain Trading Company. Such incidents will never happen again.”

Supreme Member token!

Before Shen Xing could even react, the surrounding people were already in an uproar.

This thing was not simple.

It was the most important tool used by the Spring Rain Trading Company to win over powerful individuals! Holding this token not only granted numerous privileges for purchases and transactions but also allowed one to directly hire the Spring Rain Trading Company to do things for them.

This included refining pills, crafting weapons, searching for treasures, and even hunting Innate Grand Demon Beasts!

It was almost exclusively given to Innate Realm experts!

The few Body Tempering Stage experts who possessed this token all had astonishing backgrounds!

Either they were the young sect masters of major sects or the young clan leaders of powerful families.
