Chapter 224 A Hasty Escape

Just then, Yunxi also came to the window, looking down at the scene below, her delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Isn't it said that the Zhao family is only one of the three local families? Then how dare this so-called Third Young Master run rampant in the city?"

"Ok?"

As soon as Yunxi finished speaking, Zhao Wutian below suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, his cold eyes abruptly turning to look at her.

"What a beautiful woman!"

The moment Zhao Wutian saw Yunxi, his eyes immediately turned lewd. He then pointed his riding whip and shouted, "Men, bring that woman down here!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Zhao Wutian gave the order, four black-armored knights immediately dismounted and charged menacingly toward the inn.

This scene immediately caused a cold glint to flash in Shi An's eyes, and his aura suddenly became sharp.

But just as he was about to make his move, Yunxi suddenly reached out and gently tugged at his hand, whispering, "We're new here; it's not wise to offend the local powers rashly. A little lesson will suffice."

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Upon hearing this, Shi An patted her hand, then turned and walked towards the door.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open violently, and four black-armored knights stormed in. The leader looked at Yun Xi and said coldly, "Young lady, my young master invites you in. Please..."

However, before the man could finish speaking, Shi An had already flicked his finger.

"boom!"

A dazzling golden light, like a shooting star, suddenly shot out from his fingertips, carrying immense power, and instantly struck the chest of the leading black-armored knight.

"puff!"

Then, with a muffled thud, the knight was struck as if by lightning. His chest caved in instantly, blood gushed from his mouth, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall, cracking it, before slowly sliding down, his fate unknown.

The other three black-armored knights were stunned at first, then flew into a rage and charged toward Shi An with their weapons.

In an instant, swords flashed and shadows danced, cold light emanated from them, and the entire room was filled with murderous intent.

Despite the attacks from the three, Shi An remained calm. Just as the attacks were about to strike, he raised his right hand slightly, and an invisible force instantly immobilized the three of them.

Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, the three of them were thrown uncontrollably from the window onto the street.

"This is·······"

Instantly, the street erupted in uproar. Everyone stared at the scene in disbelief, unable to believe that someone would dare to show such disrespect to the Zhao family in Tianhe City.

If outsiders feel this way, one can only imagine how the people involved feel.

At this moment, Zhao Wutian's face was ashen, and he stared intently at Shi An at the window: "How dare you! You dare to touch someone from my Zhao family!"

Unfortunately, no matter how angry Zhao Wutian was, Shi An's emotions did not waver in the slightest. He simply stood calmly by the window, looking down at him: "Dare to harass me again, and you'll die!"

Seeing that Shi An not only refused to come down and admit his mistake, but also dared to show him such contempt, Zhao Wutian, who was already frustrated by his trip to the Tianhe Plain, was so angry that he laughed: "Fine! Fine! In this Tianhe City, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this before. You are the first!"

With that, he lashed out with his blood whip, the tip of which exploded in the air with a blinding flash of blood. His voice was as cold as the ice of the deepest hell: "Kill him and bring that woman here!"

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten black-armored knights behind Zhao Wutian unleashed their power and charged towards Shi An from the air.

What surprised Yunxi was that the weakest among them were all at the Array Formation Realm, and two others had even reached the Venerable level.

In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere on the street, and the onlookers retreated in fear, afraid of being caught in the blast.

Despite being surrounded and attacked by more than a dozen Venerables in formation, Shi An remained calm. He simply raised his right index finger and uttered a single word: "Stay!"

In an instant, an invisible yet immense power emanated from Shi An, spreading rapidly outwards like ripples. "Buzz!"

Then, the dozen or so black-armored knights who had been charging aggressively toward Shi An suddenly froze, as if gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, unable to advance even an inch further.

Their faces were filled with terror and disbelief as they struggled desperately, but to no avail.

This scene instantly silenced the street. Everyone stared wide-eyed and gaped, as if they had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.

"What... what kind of method is this?"

"Who exactly is this person? How could he so easily immobilize so many experts!"

Among the crowd were many knowledgeable people, but they were all shocked and couldn't see through Shi An's true nature.

Zhao Wutian's face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with fear.

He had initially thought Shi An was just a reckless fool who didn't know his own limitations, but he never expected that the other party would have such terrifying strength.

"Who...who exactly are you?"

Zhao Wutian asked in a trembling voice, the blood whip in his hand falling unconsciously, his previous arrogance gone.

Seeing this, Shi An originally wanted to kill the other party once and for all, but considering that he and Yun Xi were newcomers, if they rashly killed the direct descendant of a force, they would probably face endless trouble.

After much deliberation, he simply looked coldly at Zhao Wutian and said in a chilling voice, "Get out!"

Shi An's voice, as cold as ice from the deepest hell, echoed throughout the entire street.

The moment the word "get lost" was uttered, an invisible pressure suddenly descended, causing Zhao Wutian's crimson steed to let out a shrill neigh uncontrollably, its front hooves rearing up high, almost knocking him to the ground.

This sudden turn of events instantly turned Zhao Wutian's face deathly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He gripped the reins tightly to prevent himself from falling off his horse.

However, even though he knew in his heart that Shi An was no match for him, Zhao Wutian's long-standing arrogance still made him unwilling. He stared at Shi An with a face full of fear and said, "You... do you know who I am? I am the third young master of the Zhao family, Zhao Wutian, how dare you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi An said again, "If you are still within my sight within three breaths, you don't need to leave."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and a golden light shone from his fingertip once again. Although the light was small, it caused the temperature of the entire street to drop suddenly, and the crowd of onlookers involuntarily took several steps back.

"one!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhao Wutian trembled, for he sensed the aura of death.

As the third young master of the Zhao family, he had never suffered such humiliation in Tianhe City, but at this moment, his instinct for survival overwhelmed his anger.

"two!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

As soon as the word "two" was uttered, Zhao Wutian dared not linger for a moment. He hurriedly turned his horse around and, with his few remaining men who were still barely able to move, slunk away from the scene.

As Zhao Wutian fled in panic, the crowd on the street was initially deathly silent, then erupted into cheers.

"Okay! Well done!"

"These arrogant and domineering guys deserve to be taught a lesson!"

Besides, many people whispered among themselves, marveling at Shi An's formidable strength.

"This young man is exceptionally strong. He can suppress many experts of the Zhao family with a wave of his hand. He must be a young powerhouse from a super sect, and may even be the first generation."

An elderly man with white hair stroked his beard, his eyes filled with shock.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone else chimed in, "But offending the Zhao family like this, even if the other party is a first-generation expert, it will probably be difficult for them to stay in Tianhe City for long. After all, the Zhao family has quite a few experts at the Divine Fire Realm, not to mention that their ancestor is a True God."
