Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 154 Slapping Twelve
The area downstairs at Yuxing Building was a complete mess.

Sun Xiao was almost driven mad by the sight of figures groaning and howling on the ground, rolling around with their heads in their hands.

Old Chen, Old Chen, is this how you find a venue?
That's way too simplistic and crude!

Upstairs are Sun Jun and Jiu Chanhui, two true masters of martial arts. Even when Instructor Lin went to challenge them a few days ago, he didn't gain the upper hand and was beaten black and blue by Jiu Chanhui.

How are we going to end this today?!
only……

When his gaze swept over the faint red mark on Chen Shunan's waist again, he suddenly froze.

The more he looked at it, the more familiar the red mark seemed, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Why does it look somewhat similar to Manager Li's seal?

A vague yet startling thought arose in his mind, filling him with doubt and temporarily suppressing his panic.

Most of the diners around fled.

Only a few bolder individuals hid behind tables in the corner, eating black and white melon seeds and salted roasted peanuts, staring at this side with both fear and piercing eyes.

"Where's Instructor Lin? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Sun Xiao grabbed one of his brothers, who was also pale-faced, and asked urgently.

"I already sent someone to invite them on the way here, they should be on their way, right?"

The man replied with trembling lips, clearly also quite frightened by Chen Shunan's ruthless methods.

Whoosh!
An arrow tore through the air currents like a flash of lightning, flying from the gap in the stair railing leading to the top floor.

An archer, his face ashen, hid around the corner, watching Chen Shunan's retreating figure, a hint of triumphant satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Finally, it's my chance to seize this opportunity!
How dare they come knocking on our door demanding justice?!

Even if you, Chen Shunan, have mastered the Three Refinements of Martial Body, so what? Today, you'll be crippled right here!
Today, Chen Shunan reminded him of Lin Shouzhou before he broke through to the True Meaning Realm.

It's equally unbeatable in second-rate!
How come Zhao Guangxi has produced such a top-notch henchman again!
Fortunately, Master Guo ultimately prevailed over Zhao Guangxi, and Zhao Guanghui's employer had always been on good terms with Master Guo.

After rounding, it means that Zhao Guanghui's boss is one step ahead of Zhao Guangxi!
Chen Shunan flicked his sleeve, knocking the person in front of him to the ground, and a sharp scream came from behind his ear.

His expression remained unchanged. He raised his sharp knife, and a streak of snow-white light fell from the sky like a cold star streaking across the horizon. Suddenly, a burst of light appeared, and a chisel-headed arrow was severed in two.

Chen Shunan's figure vanished from the spot the instant the arrow broke!

In the blink of an eye, the archer was caught in the hand, and a burst of intense heat swept out, gently patting his arm and leg.

"what!!"

Amidst a piercing scream, the archer tumbled down the stairs like a kite with a broken string, joining the ranks of those rolling on the ground below.

Chen Shunan acted with great restraint; all the injured suffered the loss of an arm or a leg without exception, demonstrating both ruthlessness and the preservation of life.

"It's all over, this is really out of control."

Sun Xiao watched this scene, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Just then, the sound of footsteps coming downstairs could be heard.

Sun Jun and Jiu Chanhui walked down one after the other.

Behind him followed Peng Lang, Kong Chengping, and several others, their faces smug and self-satisfied, as if they could already see Chen Shunan getting his comeuppance and coming out in disgrace.

Sun Jun stared at the rolling gourds on the ground, stunned for a moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and then an uncontrollable killing intent surged into his eyes like a tide!
In particular, when Chen Shunan saw him appear, he showed no fear whatsoever, standing silently with his chin slightly raised, revealing a hint of arrogance.

He hit my people right in front of me, and he was still arrogant?

Sun Jun cursed loudly.
"Chen Shunan, I curse your ancestors!! You, a refugee from Longnan who almost lost your life, Shui San'er, what gives you the right to swagger around here?"

"You're insulting this old man?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shunan's gaze turned deep and thoughtful.

So what if I curse you!

Sun Jun laughed in exasperation, blurting out, "You think you can't curse someone just because you have Baishan blood in your family? You're just a second-rate bastard, a damned worm, and you dare to act like a chicken and lecture your grandpa Sun?"

After saying that, Sun Jun cursed and gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to vent all the anger he had felt today.

"That was a really harsh scolding; it was so rude," Chen Shunan sighed.

"Old Chen?"

A loud shout came.

Lin Shouzhuo's imposing figure swept into the building like a whirlwind, leaping up to the next floor in a few bounds.

Upon seeing the scene, his gaze sharpened, and his aura erupted. His already imposing body seemed to swell even more, like an enraged giant ape. He stepped in front of Chen Shunan and confronted Sun Jun fiercely!

Lin Shouzhou sneered, "Hey, if you're going to fight, then fight. Stop gossiping like a long-tongued woman."

"Instructor Lin, it's alright, let him scold you."

Suddenly, Chen Shunan's voice came.

Lin Shouzhou turned around and saw that Chen Shunan's face not only showed no anger, but also carried a mysterious smile.

A glint of cunning, like that of an old fox, flashed across his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Lin Shouzhou's heart stirred.

Old Chen, are you planning to scheme against someone again?

I knew it! Old Chen wouldn't fight a battle unprepared; he came in with a fierce display of courage and determination!
So they came prepared.

Lin Shouzhou's gaze inadvertently swept over the red mark on Chen Shunan's waist, and suddenly froze, his eyes lighting up, but he remained expressionless.

"Brother Sun, please calm down. I have something to say to them."

Behind Sun Jun, Jiu Chanhui stepped out, his hand in a gesture of holding a flower, his robes fluttering in the wind, his dignified face full of compassion.

“Master Chan Hui, please…” Sun Jun suppressed his anger and forced a smile.

Jiu Chanhui walked up to Lin Shouzhou and Chen Shunan, performed a Buddhist salute, and said,

"Venerable One above... I wonder if Brother Shouzhuo and Brother Shun'an would be willing to switch allegiance, find a better master, and join the ranks of Master Guo?"

Lin Shouzhou blinked, somewhat bewildered. Wasn't this supposed to be a fight? Why has it turned into a surrender negotiation?

Chen Shunan gave the lama a deep look.

Upon hearing these words, Sun Jun's neck stiffened instantly, his face turned from pale to red, and he was filled with shock and anger.

If it weren't for the extreme fear of Jiu Chan Hui's strength and Guo Guan Fu behind him, he would almost have cursed on the spot!
They're not here to help, they're here to sabotage!
"Those who understand the times are wise, and I'm sure you two are well aware of the current situation."

"After Master Guo takes office as the head of the Wuqing Lulu, he should be in charge of internal affairs and restoring order to the country. Master Zhao is relegated to the position of deputy, which is hindering him at every turn... Why should the two of you put all your eggs in one basket?"

Jiu Chanhui clasped his hands together, looking at Lin Shouzhou and Chen Shunan, and felt a pang of appreciation for their talent.

Although Lin Shouzhou was only at the level of slaying a thief, he was able to hold out for five rounds against him, although this was partly because he did not use his full strength.

But this is enough to show that Lin Shouzhou was brave and skilled in battle, a great general who charged into battle.

Chen Shunan is a late bloomer, having undergone three rounds of martial arts training. As long as he doesn't perish along the way, slaying two or three thieves will not be his final goal.

Chen Shun'an was silent for a moment, then said, "Master, please leave. If you are going to interfere in this matter today, then let's draw up the agreement. Let's not talk about these things again. My loyalty to Master Zhao is as clear as day and night, how could I betray him!"

Lin Shouzhou said, "Me too!"

In the corner, behind the octagonal table, 'someone' quietly brewed himself a pot of jasmine tea, nodding in satisfaction, feeling content.

Chen Shunan didn't even look in 'someone's' direction, seemingly oblivious.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Chanhui shook his head in disappointment. His robes fluttered, and he appeared several feet away.

"I do not wish to interfere in today's affairs. Please do as you wish."

Peng Lang and the others looked rather grim.

However, Jiu Chan Hui didn't take these people seriously at all, and ignored their attitude.

Colleagues?

You good-for-nothing are not fit to be my colleague!

"Humph!"

Sun Jun snorted coldly, gave Jiu Chanhui an unfriendly look, and then turned to look at Chen Shunan and the others.

"Then let's see who's the best!"

After saying that, Sun Jun stomped on the ground and disappeared from his original spot. Holding a pair of Kunshan steel spikes, he stabbed several times in mid-air, actually fighting against two people at the same time, and was about to attack Chen Shunan and Lin Shouzhuo at the same time.

Its speed and power were so great that it felt like falling into a freezing cave, leaving one with nothing but a blur of images and raging gales.

The rest of Shui San'er groaned and staggered several steps, not daring to approach the area.

Then, everyone saw Chen Shunan calmly remove the red mark from his waist, extend it, and say,
"Sun Jun, what is this?"

I don't care what this is!
Without saying a word, Sun Jun swung his steel spikes and slammed them down!

Then, he saw the familiar pattern on the red seal, the one that belonged only to Shuiwozi.

The seal has a knob on top and water ripples on the side.

Upon closer inspection, the front clearly displays inscriptions such as "Northern Canal Branch," "Wuqing County," and "Manager Inoue."

Sun Jun's expression changed drastically. He hastily withdrew the steel spikes, took a few steps back, his blood and qi became disordered, his throat churned, and his mouth was filled with the taste of rust.

Chen Shunan still held his chin slightly higher, adopting an arrogant and condescending posture, and said with a half-smile,
“Sun Jun, it’s one thing for you to insult me, Chen, but today you also accused me of being unruly and unqualified to teach you a lesson… That’s tantamount to insulting Manager Inoue, slandering the boss, and disgracing the entire Shuiwozi business!”

At this point, Chen Shunan's voice sharpened, and he roared,
"This is blatant insubordination and disrespect for rules and family regulations! Where is Lin Shouzhou?!"

Lin Shouzhou glared at him and said, "Here!"

"According to the rules of my Shuiwo, what is the punishment for someone who insults the shopkeeper?"

“Those who speak will be slapped twelve times; those who act will be flogged thirty times; if anyone causes harm, they will be expelled from the brothel and never employed again.”

"Then do it."

"Yes!"

Lin Shouzhou was overjoyed and immediately pounced, landing in front of Sun Jun.

Sun Jun's face alternated between pale and flushed, his fingers pointing at the red mark on Chen Shun'an, his mouth still trembling.
"you you you……"

pat!

A loud slap landed hard on Sun Jun's face, making him stagger.

Sun Jun's face swelled up at a visible speed, leaving a clear handprint.

Sun Jun was furious, his eyes turning red.

Chen Shunan suddenly raised his voice and said, "What, Sun Jun, do you dare to disobey and resist?"

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Lin Shouzhou waved his hands repeatedly without hesitation, fearing that Sun Jun might realize what was happening and become desperate, unwilling to cooperate.

After slapping Sun Jun twelve times, Lin Shouzhou leaped away, creating distance between himself and Chen Shunan, and returned to his side.

He rubbed his fingers together, as if he was still savoring the feeling from before.

Everyone is stupid.

Those who were still groaning and moaning on the ground fell silent, covering their faces with their hands and spreading their fingers between their teeth.

Jiu Chan Hui was speechless for a moment, and quickly recited the names of the Living Buddhas and the World Honored Ones in his mind again.

Although he wanted to beat up Sun Jun and the others, he was only thinking about it in his heart at the moment.

Chen Shunan?
This person is truly remarkable... He deserves to be converted and take refuge in the Buddha!

Behind Chen Shunan, Sun Xiao and the others glanced at Chen Shunan, then at Sun Jun, whose face was flushed red and who seemed about to explode with anger.

A little dazed.

Old Chen, how did you become a shopkeeper?!
So now, shouldn't we call him Manager Chen?!
