C708 The Village Chief Attacked
Wang Tiansheng's gaze swept across the male villagers of Rock Spring Village as he spoke in a cold tone. Because of the aura of a cultivator on his body, none of the villagers dared to speak, nor did anyone dare to step forward.
Even though Dazhuang felt uncomfortable under the pressure of Wang Tiansheng's imposing aura, he still wanted to step forward after hearing Wang Tiansheng's words. His idea was very simple. XiaoE was a girl from his village. If she was casually taken away by the two of them, what would that be?
But Dazhuang was about to step forward when the village headman stopped him. The village headman gave him a look that told him not to be rash.
"Young man, don't be too arrogant. Last time, it was your brother who was in the wrong and came to our Rock Spring Village to harass our girl. He deserved to be kicked out." The village chief stopped Da Zhuang. He stepped forward and faced Wang Tiansheng. His tone was firm, as if he was not affected by the other party's aura at all.
"Hmm?" When Wang Tiansheng heard someone speak to him in such a manner, he looked over and frowned slightly when he realized that the person who spoke was the old man who gave him an unusual feeling.
"Who are you? You dare to speak to me like that? Do you know who I am?" Although Wang Tiansheng felt that the village chief was a bit unusual, with the support of the Profound Sect, he didn't have to be afraid of him. Moreover, even if the village chief had some cultivation, he was just a rural woman and could not be compared to a disciple of the sect.
"I am the chief of the village." After a pause, the village chief announced his identity. He also knew that the other party had a backer and would not be too harsh with his words, lest the other party vent his anger on the entire Rock Spring Village.
"I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be just a small village chief. Hehe." Wang Tiansheng sneered when he heard the village chief's words. He then said, "I came with my brother this time for no other reason than to seek justice. The last time he came here alone, you should not have treated him like that. Now that I am here, I do not ask you to do anything. Just give me the girl called Xiao E and let us take her away and this matter will be over."
Wang Tiansheng's words were simply unreasonable. He didn't care whether or not what Wang Mazi did was right or wrong. All he cared about was whether or not the things he did were satisfactory.
When he said this, the expressions on the faces of the villagers grew ugly, and the little girl, too, felt that she might not be able to escape her fate today, and looked as if she were about to cry.
The village chief's face turned cold when he heard her words. Although he was afraid of the person behind her, it would be too much of a bully if the person wanted to take Xiao'e away just like that.
"Wishful thinking." The village chief said coldly. Traces of a unique aura of a cultivator started to circulate around his body. He was enraged as well.
"You'll know whether it's a delusion or not in a while. You're just a peasant of the village, yet you still dare to bargain with me. You really don't know what death is." Wang Tiansheng said in a cold tone. Then, the qi and blood in his body surged, and he suddenly rushed towards the village chief.
"Humph." The village chief was not surprised to see Wang Tiansheng suddenly attack. He snorted coldly, and the blood in his body also surged, ready to deal with Wang Tiansheng's attack.
Wang Tiansheng's speed was extremely fast. In just a few breaths of time, he had arrived in front of the village chief. He didn't have any intention of showing mercy just because the person in front of him was an old man. Instead, he clenched his hands into a fist and punched towards the village chief's face.
"Everyone, retreat!" The village chief shouted in a low voice. The surrounding people all retreated when they heard him.
The village chief slightly dodged Wang Tiansheng's fist, and at the same time, his right hand shot out like lightning and grabbed Wang Tiansheng's elbow like a claw.
The two of them were both cultivators in the Body Refining Stage, and they had yet to learn any divine abilities. They could only rely on their own Qi and blood to fight each other.
Lee Zhuohua, who was standing at the back of the crowd, saw the situation of the two of them fighting, and instantly saw through their cultivation.
"All of them are at the early stage of Body Refining Stage. In terms of Qi and blood density, Wang Tiansheng is naturally stronger, but in terms of combat experience, the old man is even more powerful." Lee Zhuohua said as his eyes flashed when he saw the village chief dodge Wang Tiansheng's attack with a sidestep.
The village chief's right hand directly grabbed Wang Tiansheng's elbow, which was the weak point of his arm's strength. Wang Tiansheng did not have the time to react and wanted to pull his hand away, but he found that the old man's hand in front of him was like an eagle's claw that was clamping his arm, making him feel powerless and unable to pull his hand back.
When the chief caught him by the elbow, the door opened, and the chief's left hand followed suit, slamming into the man's chest.
"Bam."
With a muffled sound, Wang Tiansheng's chest was injured. He retreated a dozen steps before he could stabilize his body.
The village chief did not attack again, but stood still and looked at the man in silence. He could tell that the man was as strong as he was and that he had gained the upper hand only because he had more experience.
In terms of Qi, blood, and physical strength, he was too old for Wang Tiansheng. Moreover, he didn't want to offend Wang Tiansheng too much because of his sect. He just wanted to teach him a lesson so that Wang Tiansheng would back off.
But one thing the village chief was wrong about. Wang Tiansheng, who had been traveling from the countryside to the sect, had already changed his temperament. He had a sense of contempt for the countryside where he came from, and thought that being a disciple of the sect meant that he was the chosen one and could look down on these people.
The hatred in his heart could be imagined now that he had been forced to retreat by the village chief. His eyes were burning as he stared at the old man in front of him who had forced him to retreat, and a feeling of humiliation filled his heart.
When Wang Mazi saw that his younger brother had been forced to retreat, he panicked and quickly moved closer to Wang Tiansheng.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Wang Mazi asked Wang Tiansheng.
When Wang Tiansheng heard Wang Mazi's voice, he turned his head around and glanced at the other party. Then, he looked at the village chief and made a mental note of him.
Although he didn't know exactly how strong this old man was, he realized that he wasn't a match for him after the exchange just now. However, he wouldn't let it go just like that.
"Let's go." After a long silence, Wang Tiansheng turned around and left with Wang Mazi without looking back.
"Oh..."
Everyone cheered when they saw that the powerful Wang Tiansheng was forced back by the village chief. The heavy atmosphere from before dissipated and gathered towards the village chief.
The villagers knew that the village chief had been out in the world before, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful that he could even defeat a cultivator. The village chief's image in their minds grew.
Especially Da Zhuang. His eyes were filled with longing when he looked at the village chief. He wished that he could be as capable as the village chief, but unfortunately, the village chief didn't want to teach him.
The villagers thought that the matter would end after Wang Tiansheng was defeated, but the village chief did not look happy at all. When he saw that Wang Tiansheng's eyes were filled with hatred before he left, he knew that Wang Tiansheng would not let it go just like that. He would come back again. At that time, it would be hard to say whether he would be able to take it or not. Thinking of this, the village chief's mood became a bit worse.
Still, he couldn't bring himself to tell them the truth. When he saw them cheering, he told himself to guard the village as best he could.
And at this moment, when his gaze swept across everyone's faces, he saw Lee Zhuohua, who was standing outside the crowd.
"Hmm? He's awake?" The village chief's face turned serious, he muttered to himself in his heart, and then he quickly walked towards Lee Zhuohua.
