Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

"Where did this thief come from, daring to impersonate the city guards? Throw him out!"

Inside the gambling den, a furious shout rang out, and the group of thugs who had been hesitant immediately gripped their long sticks tightly.

"court death!"

Seeing the thugs swarming in from all directions, Zhou An's face immediately turned cold, and he suddenly spun the long sword in his hand.

As soon as he took a step forward, a cold light flashed out first.

"Bang!"

It was clearly a sharp longsword, yet it cleaved the air in front of it so violently that it exploded.

A vicious-looking thug was immediately sent flying backward by the blow, knocking several people down in succession.

Liu Shuqing, standing to the side, did not slack off at all, thrusting out his long sword repeatedly, closely following behind Zhou An.

"Captain Ge, the bandits are rampant; I fear two vanguard officers will be insufficient to suppress them. I..."

Seeing the chaos in the gambling den's main hall, Zhao Quanzhong quickly spoke up.

"No rush. How could a bunch of mortals who haven't even reached the Blood Refinement Realm be a match for him?"

However, before Zhao Quanzhong could finish speaking, Captain Ge narrowed his eyes slightly and interrupted him.

"I want to see what kind of backing this Chang Le gambling den has that makes it dare to openly defy the city guard's investigation."

Although the duties of the City Guard were not to be in charge of maintaining order and investigating within the city, they were not people that ordinary thugs and ruffians could provoke.

"Keep a close watch on the gate; not even a fly can get out."

"promise!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Quanzhong, who was about to make his move, clasped his hands in obedience and pressed down on his knife with one hand while keeping a close eye on everything in the gambling hall.

As a fellow member of the City Guard, even though he belonged to the local faction, he had previously harbored some resentment towards martial arts practitioners like Zhou An, who came from outside the martial arts school.

But this is ultimately an internal conflict, even though the other party is suspected of taking credit for this operation.

However, the reputation of the City Guard is not something that a small gambling den can challenge.

To put it bluntly...

If the other party dares to disobey their city guard today, will they dare to secretly deal with him and his family in the future?

Even if the death penalty can be avoided, the punishment will not be spared.

In an instant, the city guards who had surrounded the Chang Le gambling den gripped their swords tightly and began sharpening them.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Inside the gambling den's main hall, a series of screams rang out as several burly men with ferocious faces were sent flying.

They smashed tables and chairs, or crashed into doorposts... The chaotic scene of fighting was instantly cleared up.

As these thugs clutched their chests and struggled to their feet, their eyes invariably fell upon the knife-wielding youth in the distance, their gazes filled with terror.

"A bunch of useless fools, they couldn't even handle two thieves posing as city guards."

Just as the thugs stopped in their tracks amidst their groans, a furious shout suddenly came from the second floor of the gambling den.

"You little thief, just watch me, Wang Hu, take you down."

Zhou An looked up.

Then a burly man wearing a short-sleeved shirt and covered in explosive muscles jumped down from the second floor.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud followed, and dust billowed up.

As the gambling table beneath his feet shattered into pieces, he wielded a long iron rod and smashed it straight down towards Zhou An's forehead.

The iron rod was powerful and heavy; even before it fell, it emitted a series of oppressive whistling sounds in mid-air.

"Brother Zhou, the thief is fierce; you must not confront him head-on."

Seeing this, Liu Shuqing's pupils contracted, and she quickly retreated, her expression a mixture of shock and anger.

Ordinary ignorant thugs are one thing, but this person in front of me is clearly a seasoned Blood Refining Warrior, and there is absolutely no way he wouldn't recognize the true identity of the City Guard.

Are these Chang Le Gang members insane, or are they planning a rebellion?

"Keep an eye on the others."

Hearing Liu Shuqing's warning, Zhou An calmly replied while advancing instead of retreating.

A mere Blood Cultivation Warrior is not worthy of being told to temporarily retreat from the limelight.

As Zhou An looked at the oncoming iron staff, his eyes turned icy cold, and he immediately poured his powerful qi and blood energy into the longsword.

"Clang!"

In an instant, the knives and clubs clashed, and a piercing buzzing sound erupted between them, causing the surrounding crowd to instinctively cover their ears.

At the same time, everyone saw a dark shadow being thrown out from between the two.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, everyone realized that the dark shape was actually a piece of iron rod that had crashed into the wall.

broken.

Before everyone's eyes, the iron staff, as thick as a baby's arm, was cleaved in two by Zhou Yi with a single stroke.

A stick is a blunt instrument.

Especially with the already powerful and heavy iron rod, the added force would smash not only a long sword, but even a boulder weighing a thousand pounds would be smashed to pieces.

But now.

They witnessed the young man from the city guards actually cleave the iron staff in two with a single stroke.

Moreover, there wasn't even a single nick or nick on that long sword.

"court death!"

While Liu Shuqing and his thugs were dumbfounded, Wang Hu, who had almost been cleaved in two by a single blow, let out a roar that sounded like that of a wild beast.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Wang Hu, already tall and imposing, grew even taller with each roar.

Furthermore, during this process, its exposed skin grew inhuman-sized thick hair at a visible speed.

In just three breaths, Wang Hu transformed into a monster that was half human and half tiger.

"Kid, you forced me to this... I want to see if your blade is sharper, or my Tiger Demon Body Tempering Technique is more ferocious."

As he spoke, Wang Hu, who had transformed into a half-human, half-tiger, twisted his thick neck, lifted a hundred-pound iron staff with one hand, and looked at Zhou An with a ferocious expression.

"Zhou An, spare his life!"

Outside the gambling den, Captain Ge's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly.

"Consider this a small contribution."

"Just a small achievement?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou An curled his lip, flicked the long sword in his right hand, and headed straight for Wang Hu in front of him.

Tiger Demon Body Tempering Technique.

This sudden change in demonic appearance was indeed caused by a strange cultivation technique.

"Good timing."

Seeing that Zhou An not only did not retreat, but instead charged towards him again, Wang Hu's eyes immediately turned bloodshot.

"You talk too much."

As Wang Hu swung his stick with one hand, smashing it down relentlessly towards him, Zhou An suddenly vanished from Wang Hu's sight with a low shout.

"Wang Hu, he's behind you."

Just as Wang Hu was hesitating, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu's heart skipped a beat. As he turned to defend himself, he simultaneously swung his long staff behind him.

However, halfway through his turn, a cold light rapidly magnified before his eyes in the corner of his eye.

"Pfft!"

In an instant, a stream of scalding blood gushed out from Wang Hu's chest.

The enormous figure, towering twice the height of Zhou An, was sent flying by a single slash.

"Take it down quickly!"

Upon seeing this, Captain Ge outside the door shouted loudly.

Zhao Quanzhong's team, who were always ready, also turned their attention to Zhou An, who was standing with his sword sheathed. With their faces full of astonishment, they went straight to the unconscious Wang Hu.

"Clap clap clap..."

Just as Wang Hu was about to be captured, a series of crisp applause suddenly came from the second floor of the gambling den.
