After the family split up, I achieved martial arts sainthood.

Relationships between people are reciprocal.

He wanted to test whether Chen Tong had the ability to withstand the four major clans and provide a safety net, while Chen Tong also wanted to test whether he had the ability to solve problems.

If he can't even get through this door today, then the so-called cooperation and courtship will probably come to nothing.

Gu Xin suspected that Chen Tong was watching this place from somewhere at that moment.

Ah!

Lost in thought, Gu Xin gripped the county government gate even tighter.

"Damn it! Who came from, you blind fool, daring to cause trouble at the county government office?"

Feeling Gu Xin's obstruction, the head that was about to close the door became angry, reopened the door, and the whole figure stepped out.

The figure, dressed in linen underwear, made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves, exuding anger and a menacing aura.

"Bang!"

However, before he could even make a move, Gu Xin kicked him hard in the chest.

"what!"

In an instant, the figure with rolled-up sleeves screamed and flew backward.

The tall, thin figure crashed into the courtyard behind the gate with a loud thud.

These guys are used to bullying and lording over anyone, even though they've only mastered basic stance training.

Gu Xin pushed open the door and entered the county government gate. Looking at the agonizing figure of the constable, his eyes were filled with coldness.

"Where is the County Commandant?"

Gu Xin looked down at the fallen Zao Ban and asked indifferently.

"You dare to make a move in the county government office? You'll die a horrible death!"

The constable ignored Gu Xin's question and instead turned to shout loudly towards the interior of the county government office, "Someone come here! Someone come here..."

The sound of footsteps quickly rose from inside the county government office amidst the commotion.

A short while later, several police officers filed out from the back hall of the county government office.

These figures rushed over, dressing and tidying themselves up as they went, appearing flustered and disorganized.

【…】

Gu Xin looked up and saw that as these figures poured out of the back hall, information panels also popped up.

"Huang Liu, what are you yelling about so early in the morning? You're disturbing my peaceful sleep, do you want to die?"

The group of people walked out of the back room, and the tall and strong figure at the head of the group looked at the fallen soap maker and began to berate him.

This person has the highest cultivation level among them and is the only one who has entered the realm of martial arts.

It's obvious without even guessing that this is the leader.

"Hey boss, there's trouble! There's trouble!"

The constable called Huang Liu immediately protested, scrambling to his feet and pointing at Gu Xin, shouting, "It's this guy! He rushed in and started hitting people without saying a word! Boss, you have to stand up for me!"

Running into the county government office to cause trouble?

Such things have become quite rare in recent years...

The tall, muscular figure immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Xin with great interest.

Despite his young age and somewhat refined demeanor, his attire didn't resemble that of a privileged young master.

"Who are you? Do you even know where you are?"

Liu Ke glanced at Gu Xin and began to question him directly.

"I was looking for County Lieutenant Chen Tong; he sent me!"

Gu Xin remained expressionless and deliberately brought up Chen Tong's name to test the group's reaction.

"Ha, what do you mean by 'accessible' or 'accessible'? This is a government office, not your mother's brothel, not a place where just anyone can come and go as they please."

Liu Ke's face turned cold, and he immediately pointed at Gu Xin and began to berate him.

Damn it, they actually want to use Chen Tong to scare people?

They didn't even go out and find out who really made the decisions in the county government.

Chen Tong?

What a shit!

"We'll retaliate the same way you attacked Huang Liu. You also need to pay our medical expenses, and we'll call it even. Don't worry about legality; even if you take this to the capital, we'll get our way. Let's do it!"

Ignoring Gu Xin's attitude, Liu Ke directly ordered the soap-making team on his left and right to start.

Do they really think they can do whatever they want in the county government just by invoking Chen Tong's name?

That's wishful thinking!

"Okay!"

The soap-making team members on either side immediately rubbed their hands together, and without any hesitation, swarmed towards Gu Xin.

Their cultivation levels are all at the stage of achieving or greatly achieving mastery of stance training.

They were all menacing and murderous, appearing extremely vicious.

How could this be a servant from the third shift of the yamen?

They are clearly bandits entrenched on the neighboring mountain.

Gu Xin's face grew increasingly grim; the filth in the county government office was far worse than he had imagined.

It's no wonder that Chen Tong had a hard time getting around in the county government office; just by looking at the attitude of the constables towards him, one could tell his predicament.

He's all alone.

"Kid, lie down and enjoy yourself!"

As Gu Xin's thoughts raced, a skilled martial artist rushed towards him, reaching for his clothes, intending to throw him to the ground and slowly torture him.

court death!

Gu Xin glanced at the other person coldly, and with lightning speed, grabbed the outstretched hand before the other person could react.

Then, with a pull and a tug, the other person staggered and almost fell into his arms.

But Gu Xin did not accept the other's advances. Instead, he raised his leg and slammed his knee into the other's abdomen.

"Bang!"

"what!"

The opponent screamed and doubled over as he flew backward.

He crashed into the open space in the courtyard, clutching his stomach and screaming in pain, unable to get up for a long time.

The fact that they dealt with the soap-making team that rushed in first caused the other soap-making teams to be surprised and suspicious.

But Gu Xin showed no mercy, moving swiftly and unleashing his full power, galloping across the entire field.

The thunderous, mountain-shattering force struck with deadly precision, leaving no room for mercy, and swiftly harvested the remaining soap stalks.

Within a few breaths, this group of soap-making workers, who had only achieved a certain level of skill in basic techniques, were all lying on the ground.

One by one, they wailed and cried out in pain.

In the courtyard, only Liu Ke, the tall and burly team leader, remained, standing there with a look of astonishment on his face.

"You're the only one left!"

Gu Xin withdrew his fist, turned around, and looked at Liu Ke, the leader of the team, with a cold and sharp gaze.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ke's expression changed drastically.

He could already tell that the young man in front of him, despite his young age, had already reached a high level of martial arts cultivation.

"No wonder he dared to come to find Chen Tong alone; he's a tough nut to crack."

Liu Ke clenched his fists with a grim face, his blood surging.

He was also an inbound martial artist.

Although the initial stage of the Blood Strengthening Realm is merely the beginning, it is enough for someone at the bottom of Qingyuan County to act arrogantly and lawlessly.

"Do you really think that just because you have some skills, you can force your way into the county government office?"

Liu Ke gave a cold rebuke, suddenly moved, and punched Gu Xin hard.

With a single punch, the wind of the fist stirs.

Its powerful and imposing posture was on full display.

"Lie down, you bastard!"

Liu Ke shouted, his punches flying like the wind, showing great confidence in his abilities.

Although Gu Xin's martial arts cultivation had also reached a certain level, and even the surge of his qi and blood surpassed his, he was still a formidable opponent.

However, he is larger and more robust, so he should have some advantages.

Moreover, his boxing skills were already highly refined and mastered.

Dealing with a young kid is a piece of cake.

In this world, martial arts strength is not solely determined by cultivation level.

The proficiency of martial arts techniques and skills, as well as the quality of those techniques, are all influencing factors.

Unless there is a significant difference in their cultivation levels, it is difficult to say who is superior or inferior.

"boom!"

Just as Liu Ke confidently threw a punch, expecting Gu Xin to clutch his arm and fall to the ground screaming in pain, a tremendous force, like a torrent, surged into his arm.

"Click-clack-click-clack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Liu Ke immediately felt a piercing pain spread from his arm throughout his body.

He instinctively turned his head to look and saw that his right arm, which had thrown the punch, was twisted inch by inch, turning into a pretzel shape.

Each broken bone pierced through flesh and clothing, exposing itself in a bloody mess.
