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

"what!"

Upon seeing the horrific state of his arm, Liu Ke could no longer bear the pain and let out a piercing scream.

Immediately afterwards, he was lifted off the ground and flew backwards.

With a thud, it crashed onto the ground in the yard, and unable to stop its momentum, it rolled several times along the ground.

"The leader of the team?"

The other soap-making workers, witnessing this scene, all stopped howling in pain and looked at Liu Ke with horrified expressions.

The leaders of the martial arts entry teams all lost?

Is the entire arm useless?

Good heavens!

Isn't this boy's strength...?

The soap-making workers lying on the ground all had their pupils constricted, and their eyes turned to Gu Xin with horror.

As Gu Xin withdrew his fist and his gaze swept intently over them, the constables trembled with fear. Ignoring their injuries, they all kicked their legs and shrank back.

"Pick up the Wave-Breaking Fist, the Tiger-Subduing Saber, the Mountain-Suppressing Fist, the Fixed-Bell Stance Technique, and cultivation experience..."

Gu Xin ignored their panic and picked up the experience packs that had fallen from their bodies one by one.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain today...

Looking at the changes in his attribute panel, Gu Xin was not annoyed at all; on the contrary, he was extremely happy.

It seems he has found another place to improve his martial arts skills?

"Go...go fetch the foreman!"

Sensing the burning heat rising in Gu Xin's eyes, Liu Ke, who had screamed, felt a chill run down his spine and a strong sense of unease.

Ignoring the pain of his half-crippled arm, he hurriedly turned his head and roared at the panicked police officers on either side.

He was no match for Gu Xin, but the squad leader's cultivation was also above his, so he should be able to handle Gu Xin.

Upon hearing this, the soap-making workers on both sides immediately realized what was happening, got up, and ran towards the back room.

The one who rushed the fastest was Huang Liu, who was the first to be taught a lesson by Gu Xin.

"Kid, you're dead meat when our squad leader gets here!"

After the soap-making team went to ask for help, Liu Ke's panic subsided slightly, and his gaze towards Gu Xin gradually returned to its ferocious state.

"Yeah?"

Glancing at Liu Ke's confident declaration, Gu Xin paid no attention and instead turned to look around.

"What does Lord Chen think?"

Gu Xin looked around and shouted. Although he did not see Chen Tong, he was certain that Chen Tong must have arrived long ago.

Otherwise, the idea of ​​seeking cooperation can be abandoned.

"good!"

No sooner had Gu Xin finished speaking than an undisguised laugh of praise came from outside the county government office.

Before the laughter had even faded, a gust of wind rose, and Chen Tong's figure appeared in the courtyard of the county government office.

What a great speed!

Looking at Chen Tong, who appeared in an instant and whose movements were impossible for Gu Xin to track, Gu Xin couldn't help but sigh inwardly, his eyes filled with envy.

Is this the power displayed by someone at the late stage of the Qi Creation Realm?

If I had such strength, wouldn't I be able to come and go freely in Qingyuan County?

"Since one arm is already useless, keeping the other would just seem incongruous."

Chen Tong arrived at the county government courtyard, glanced indifferently at Liu Ke lying on his side, and then moved.

"Snap!"

In the next instant, Liu Ke's other arm, which was intact and supporting his body, suddenly shattered.

"what!"

Liu Ke immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

He was writhing in pain on the ground in the yard.

"That's much better, it looks much better now."

Chen Tong clapped his hands, appearing nonchalant, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

Gu Xin's eyes flickered, and his gaze toward Chen Tong held a newfound respect.

Chen Tong's seemingly unintentional actions conveyed a lot of information to him.

This was telling him that he could act boldly within the county government, and that the other party would stand firmly on his side.

The decisive and swift disabling of Liu Ke's other arm was a clear demonstration of their stance.

"Damn it, who's so bold as to dare to act so insolently in the county government office?"

At that moment, a shout came from the back hall of the county government office.

A cacophony of footsteps followed closely behind.

A short while later, a group of people carrying ox-tail knives rushed out menacingly.

coming!

Gu Xin looked up and knew without asking that those who came were all Liu Ke's helpers.

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage of the Blood Strengthening Realm]

[Exercise: Suspended Bell Stance Exercise (Mastered)]

[Techniques: Bell-ringing Fist (Masterful), Bell-ringing Saber (Masterful), Pi Gua Palm (Masterful)]

Cultivation experience: 14 years

[Can be picked up after defeating the target]

The burly man leading the group had an even higher cultivation level, reaching the mid-stage of the Blood Might Realm.

This is the second person in the mid-stage of the Blood Might Realm that Gu Xin has encountered so far.

"Lord Chen...?"

However, when the group of helpers saw Chen Tong standing with his hands behind his back next to Gu Xin in the courtyard, their fierce aura all froze.

Their furious and menacing expressions suddenly froze.

The burly man at the head of the group looked somewhat astonished.

Wasn't it said that an unknown young kid was coming?

What's Chen Tong doing here?

The burly man, taken aback, turned to look at Huang Liu beside him, a fierce glint flashing in his deep eyes.

"I dare not accept the title of 'Sir' from Chief Zhao."

Chen Tong ignored the astonishment of the group of constables and said calmly, "Liu Ke has been injured and will likely be unable to manage the daily affairs of the yamen. From today onwards, Gu Xin will temporarily act as Liu Ke. What does Chief Constable Zhao think?"

This……

Zhao Kuo's pupils contracted as he glanced at Liu Ke, who was rolling on the ground, howling in pain, and covered in sweat. He quickly understood the reason behind it all.

Chen Tong, you've made your move!

The county magistrate, who had been trapped in the county government's cage for a long time, was finally about to break free.

Zhao Kuo neither agreed nor disagreed, but instead looked at Gu Xin and began to scrutinize him.

Upon discovering Gu Xin's young age, he immediately raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Lord Chen, this young...brother is so young, and he's already acting as the team leader upon arrival. I'm afraid it might cause some resentment?"

These words, seemingly expressing concern, are in fact a rejection.

Chen Tong, however, was not embarrassed or angry. Instead, he looked at the crowd behind Zhao Kuo and asked, "Who disagrees? Step forward!"

However, everyone fell silent, lowering their heads to avoid Chen Tong's gaze when he looked over.

Especially the gangsters originally under Liu Ke's command, all of them looked terrified and their faces turned pale.

They had all fought against Gu Xin and knew his strength.

They also knew how Liu Ke got injured.

Knowing they are no match for the enemy, who would dare to disobey?

Anyone who dares to step forward will be lying down.

"See, nobody disagrees."

Chen Tong shrugged and smiled at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo turned his head and glanced at Liu Ke's team, his face turning ashen with anger.

A bunch of useless trash!

Zhao Kuo wanted to stop it, but he also knew that the trend was inevitable and he couldn't stop it at all.

Fortunately, he was still the team leader.

Even if this kid takes over Liu Ke's position, I'll still be his direct superior.

If we want to deal with him later, won't it be a piece of cake?

"We dare not disobey the orders of our lord!"

Zhao Kuo clasped his hands in acceptance of the order and did not object further.

He then turned to Gu Xin and asked, "May I ask your name, young man?"

"Gu Xin!"

Gu Xinying looked at Zhao Kuo's meaningful gaze and calmly smiled, "Gu as in 'taking care of,' and Xin as in 'newcomer.'"

Zhao Kuo nodded in understanding, then looked at Gu Xin and smiled, "Don't worry, Captain Gu, we'll take care of the newcomers."
