Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 54

Ch 54: Zhao Xiu

“Are you the Deputy Commander here?” Jiang Chen asked.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned. He then put down the fruit in his hand, stood up, and sized up Jiang Chen with sharp eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen’s lips curled into a faint smile. His gaze swept over everyone present, eventually settling on the burly man sitting in the main seat with an arrogant posture.

He slowly spoke, his voice calm and powerful, “Deputy Commander Li, Deputy Commander Wang, or Deputy Commander Zhao, which one are you?”

The burly man was first taken aback, then quickly took his feet off the table. His eyes fell on the Commander’s uniform embroidered with intricate patterns on Jiang Chen’s body, and a look of sudden realization flashed across his face.

He laughed heartily, “So the new Lord Commander has arrived, I’m so sorry for not recognizing you! I am Zhao Xiu, may I ask if you are Jiang Chen, Commander Jiang?”

Jiang Chen nodded lightly and said indifferently, “Deputy Commander Zhao, I can temporarily not pursue today’s matter. However, I hope that from tomorrow onwards, the Pacification Bureau can restore its former order, and no longer have irrelevant people freely entering and exiting, disrupting official business.”

Before Jiang Chen’s words could fade, the air seemed to freeze for a moment. Immediately afterwards, an unpleasant look involuntarily flashed across Zhao Xiu’s face. The expression was fleeting, but it was still keenly captured.

“Lord Jiang, we will be working together in the future. As the saying goes, we are in the same boat. Some things, it’s better not to be too concerned about, lest it hurt our harmony.”

Zhao Xiu suppressed the displeasure in his heart, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

However, Jiang Chen did not seem to intend to give Zhao Xiu any face. He shook his head lightly, a faint smile on his lips, as if he did not take Zhao Xiu’s words to heart.

Without listening to Zhao Xiu any further, he turned around and left the somewhat awkward room.

Upon hearing this, the Jinyiwei warrior subconsciously looked at Zhao Xiu, who was still maintaining his original posture in the room, seemingly waiting for his response.

But Zhao Xiu just narrowed his eyes slightly, his face devoid of any expression, as if he did not care about any of this, and did not give any clear instructions.

Seeing this, the Jinyiwei warrior secretly pondered the relationship and situation between the two. After a moment, he smiled slightly, but that smile carried a hint of slickness, “Lord, I’m really sorry, I don’t know exactly where the Commander’s room is. Why don’t you ask someone else, perhaps they know better.”

“What? You don’t know!”

Jiang Chen’s voice exploded like thunder, echoing within the Pacification Bureau, filled with unquestionable majesty.

His eyes were like burning flames, staring intently at the Jinyiwei warrior in front of him, as if to pierce through him.

“Good, you undercover traitor, you dare to run wild in my Pacification Bureau!”

Jiang Chen’s words were like icy blades. As he spoke, his figure moved, as swift as a tiger descending from a mountain.

His right hand clenched tightly, his fist seemed to condense the desolation and killing intent of the world, it was the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Fist.

He unleashed this punch without reservation, the fist wind whistling, carrying the terrifying power to tear the air.

Seeing this, the Jinyiwei warrior’s face instantly turned as pale as paper, his eyes filled with horror.

In a hurry, he could only place his arms in front of his face, trying to resist this fatal blow.

However, in the face of Jiang Chen’s majestic power, his defense was as fragile as paper.

“Crack!”

Only a crisp and ear-piercing sound of bone cracking was heard, followed by the Jinyiwei warrior’s scream.

His arms were instantly fractured under Jiang Chen’s fist wind, and his whole body was blown away like a kite with a broken string.

He drew a long arc in the air, his body constantly tumbling and falling, and finally crashed heavily on the ground.

Amidst the flying dust, the Jinyiwei warrior curled up in pain, constantly wailing, obviously having lost his combat power.

“You dare!”

Zhao Xiu saw this scene of Jiang Chen attacking the Jinyiwei warrior, and was immediately furious, his face livid, his eyes seeming to spew fire.

With a movement of his feet, his figure accelerated instantly like a ghost, and his whole person rushed towards Jiang Chen like an arrow leaving the string, aggressively, as if to swallow Jiang Chen alive.

“Die!”

Zhao Xiu shouted, his voice filled with endless killing intent.

His pair of iron claws drew two cold lights in the air, like sharp blades, and had already arrived in front of Jiang Chen’s face, as if to tear Jiang Chen’s head into mud.

However, Jiang Chen did not show the slightest panic or fear.

With a movement of his body, he unhesitatingly bent down to dodge, as agile as a swimming fish, avoiding Zhao Xiu’s iron claws.

At the same time, his fists were already clenched tightly, as if condensing the power of the world, and slammed towards Zhao Xiu’s abdomen.

Zhao Xiu was a Great Grandmaster Realm expert, with powerful strength, a full realm stronger than Jiang Chen.

He originally thought that Jiang Chen would surely die under his iron claws, but he did not expect that Jiang Chen could avoid his attack so agilely, and counterattack so swiftly.

When the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Fist slammed towards Zhao Xiu’s abdomen, Zhao Xiu only felt a powerful force coming towards him, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end.

A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, and his intuition told him that if he was hit by this punch, he would probably be seriously injured even if he did not die.

Zhao Xiu was shocked, he never expected Jiang Chen’s strength to be so powerful, that he could actually contend with him.

Thus, at the critical moment, Zhao Xiu lightly tapped the ground with his toes, and his whole person was like a light swallow, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and actually flipped a somersault as agilely as a famous opera performer, perfectly dodging Jiang Chen’s powerful punch.

“Boom!”

Although Jiang Chen’s punch failed to hit Zhao Xiu, the True Qi contained within it was exceptionally powerful, directly hitting a towering tree in the Pacification Bureau’s courtyard that took two people to encircle.

It was seen that the tree instantly burst open under the bombardment of the fist wind, wood chips scattered like snowflakes all over the sky, and the trunk of the tree was directly broken by the powerful force, collapsing in the courtyard with a deafening loud noise.

This sound echoed like thunder in the Pacification Bureau, immediately attracting the attention of the Jinyiwei warriors.

They walked out of their rooms one after another, their eyes turned to the direction from which the sound came, with surprised expressions on their faces.

“What happened?”

“Is someone fighting?”

“That sound seems to be coming from Lord Zhao’s room.”

……

It was seen that Jiang Chen’s eyes were like torches, staring murderously at Zhao Xiu, and he opened his mouth word by word, “Zhao Xiu! As a member of the Jinyiwei, you dare to openly provoke and attack your superior within the Pacification Bureau, are you trying to rebel?”
