Chapter 162: Set on Establishing Might

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

“You demon! Committing a crime together with an Evil Beast in bright daylight! Bring them down!”

After the loud shout, there were hurried footsteps. Dozens of soldiers scattered the crowd. Holding swords and sabers in their hands, they surrounded Junior Leopard and Little Du. Additionally, there were dozens of archers surrounding the outer perimeter. The arrows were strung on the bow and were pointing at Junior Leopard and Little Du. Looking at this situation, the arrows would fly if they made any movement.

There was still a smile plastered on Junior Leopard’s face. His eyes flashed a cold glint. He extended his hands and lightly patted the somewhat agitated Little Du to calm it down.

“Da, da, da…!”

The sound of horse hooves rang. Junior Leopard lifted up his head and saw a majestic Black Awl Horse. On the horse was a young master whose face was like jade. He snobbishly looked down on the person and the wolf. When his eyes landed on Little Du, his eyes were unable to conceal the excitement and greed.

“Mis, mistake! It’s a mistake!” The soldier who was laying limp on the floor suddenly climbed up and raised both his hands, “Third Young Master, Third Young Master, it’s really a mistake, a mistake…!”

“Mistake?” The Third Young Master’s eyebrows furrowed, “What mistake?”

“Third Young Master, it’s a mistake!” The soldier said frantically, “This is the new Navy Commander, His Excellency Zhou. He’s here to assume his post in Jiang City!”

“Newly appointed Navy Commander?!” Third Young Master frowned. The tense atmosphere in the surrounding also eased a little. However, this Third Young Master seemed to be unconvinced and he stared at Junior Leopard, “Him, the new Navy Commander? Ma Laizi, are you deceived by him?”

“No, no, Third Young Master. His Excellency Zhou has the official seal from Admiral Li. It can’t be wrong!”

“What official seal? Show it to me!”

“This…!” Ma Laizi’s face revealed a troubled expression. He had just returned the official seal to Junior Leopard. Now that the Third Young Master wanted to see it, he could only turn around with a grimace and ask Junior Leopard, “Your Excellency Zhou, you see…!”

Junior Leopard lifted his head and looked at the Third Young Master with some interest. Even though this person was haughty and arrogant, his cultivation was not bad. At an age of 16-17, he had already reached Level Three. Even though he could not match Junior Leopard, he could be considered the top amongst his peers. Looking at him, his position must not be small in Jiang City. He probably was the son of Garrison in the province. If not, he could not have the military might to command these soldiers. All these soldiers were from the military background and had been trained. They were much stronger than the yamen runners in the County Administration and those at the city gate. There were even two of them who emitted bloodlust. They obviously had gone on the battlefield and killed people before.

When Third Young Master saw Junior Leopard looking over, he stared back in defiance, “Where is the official seal? Bring it over!”

“Who are you?!” Junior Leopard steadily stood there and asked softly.

Hearing this question, Third Young Master gave no reply but a cold snort. Following his cold snort, a wave of strong Qi force came sweeping over from his body.

“A joke!” Junior Leopard felt his Qi Power and coldly smiled. He didn’t make any movement. His heart moved and Little Du who had originally been calmed down by him jerked forward. Its Qi Power exploded and it raised its head, “Howl—!”

A wolf howl rang out, as if there was a jolt of lightning striking from above the sky. It shook the surroundings. This howl not only blocked the Third Young Master’s Qi Power completely, but also shocked the people till they fell over and the horses flipped. The soldiers were also stunned by the howl. Each of them dropped their weapons because their limbs went limp. Even those soldiers who had gone to the battlefield to kill before were no exception. The surrounding archers were even worse. It was because their arrows had been fully strung when Little Du howled, and they were shocked to the point that they let loose their hands. Dozens of arrows flew from the string and went straight for Junior Leopard.

Junior Leopard only smiled coldly. He remained impassive. Little Du’s silver fur expanded and easily shielded Junior Leopard. All the arrows hit its body. This Little Du had an ancient bloodline and had long gained a body of bronze skin and steel bones. Even wizard weapons and sharp weapons were unable to cause any damage to it, let alone a few ordinary arrows. Those arrows produced metal clanging sounds when hitting its body. Arrows with greater force created sparks, while those without strength only touched its fur before dropping to the floor.

“You dare to openly attack the imperial court’s official in broad daylight. Furthermore, we’re within the city, you’re wearing the clothing of officers and soldiers and wielding the army’s weapons. Who gave you all such balls? Are you all planning on revolting?!”

Junior Leopard coldly snorted. Little Du was connected in heart and soul with him. Junior Leopard hadn’t even completed his words when it went forward pouncing towards Third Young Master.

The horse that Third Young Master was sitting on was a rare breed. If not, it would have flipped over when Little Du howled. Even though it didn’t flip, it was also scared stiff. It was on tenterhooks and when it saw Little Du pouncing forward, it was shocked. It neighed and lifted its front hooves. Half of its body straightened up.

The Third Young Master’s expression changed. He was young and had reached Level Three. He could be considered the cream of the crop among his peers. However, this Level Three, put in plain language, was created through medicine. Though his aptitude was not bad, he had never been to the battlefield before nor seen grand atmospheres before. That little bit of Qi force was condensed through his cultivation. It couldn match Little Du’s. When Little Du howled, he was scared stiff as well. The Qi Power and sharpness he had long disappeared. At this moment the horse he was sitting on was frightened and the wolf that was as big as a monster came pouncing over. In frenzy, he shouted weirdly and pushed off his body from the back of the horse. He jumped back for dozens of feet and landed on the floor. After landing, he retreated a few steps. His face was ghastly white. His hands reached for his waist and brought out a long saber that was emitting a chilling light. He took on a defensive posture.

Who would have thought that Little Du would not entangle him? Instead it went for that black horse’s neck. This horse was considered a king in the northwest. When it was in front of Little Du, however, it didn’t have an ounce of resistance. It was bitten at the vital spot and went crashing down. It tried to struggle but half of its head was bitten off by Little Du and there was no more life in it.

Little Du was suppressed these past few days. Now that Junior Leopard had intentions to reveal his might, he didn’t keep its fierceness in check. Little Du naturally wouldn’t let go of this opportunity. It then started biting the horse in front of these soldiers within the city. In a moment there was flesh and blood flying all around. The crowd looking at it was scared stiff.

Little Du indeed had a ferocious personality, a primitive breed. In just a few breaths, it chewed the black horse till there was nothing left. Even the bones were half gone. It even licked the blood off the ground and then satisfiedly returned to Junior Leopard’s side. It was only at this moment that Third Young Master had some reaction. He looked at half of the bones on the floor. The traces of the mighty horse he was riding on had been wiped off. When thinking about how Little Du leaped forward just now and his embarrassing stunt, he was instantly angry. He didn’t care about anything else. He waved the long sword in his hands and a wave of green saber light flashed. It went pouncing towards Little Du directly. He shouted angrily, “You evil beast! I’ll go all out with you!”

“Hu!” When Little Du saw Third Young Master rushing over, its gaze flashed a strand of cold light. Its body slightly shook, as if it wanted to pounce over. However Junior Leopard pressed its head and his body floated to the front. Seeing the Third Young Master’s posture, he raised his leg and kicked his abdomen. Third Young Master’s martial arts were not bad and he had some capabilities. However, in front of Junior Leopard, it wasn’t enough. Junior Leopard’s kick was fast and rushed. He couldn’t escape it in time. His sword hadn’t even struck Junior Leopard and he was sent flying out and landed on the floor in unconsciousness.

Junior Leopard felt extremely comfortable after this kick. For some reason, ever since he sent Qi Ying flying with a kick that day, he felt extremely comfortable with using the leg to kick people. Now that there was someone who sent himself over, he naturally wouldn’t refuse the offer and sent him flying with a kick.

After kicking, Junior Leopard coldly swept around. Even though a smile was plastered on his face, there wasn’t anyone who dared to meet his gaze. Wherever he swept his gaze, they would bow their heads and quiet down.

“You’re called Ma Laizi?!” Junior Leopard finally fixed his gaze on the soldier who led him here.

“Yes, my surname is Ma. Because I was born with a skin disease, hence I got this nickname!”

Ma Laizi carefully answered. He was afraid that if he said something wrong and offended the person in front of him, he would be eaten by the wolf.

“You’re the guard of the city gate, and also a soldier, is that right?!”

“Yes!” Ma Laizi didn’t dare to say anything more and only nodded.

“These people tried to rob and kill an imperial court’s official in the street of the city. You call some people over and tie them up then send them to the County Administration!”

“Ah?!” When Ma Laizi heard that, he hurriedly said, “Mistake, this is a mistake! This young master is the third son of Garrison Ding. All these soldiers are from Jiang City’s garrison. They’re soldiers, not rebels!”

“Not rebels?!” Junior Leopard coldly laughed. His feet flicked an arrow up from the floor and kicked it to Ma Laizi’s front, “What’s this? Where does this come from? If my pet didn’t have some intelligence, I would have become a bee’s nest! If this is not called revolting, then what is considered as a revolt? So what if he’s the Third Young Master of Garrison? Does he have an official title on him?”

“This…!”

“Since he doesn’t have any official title, how could he command these imperial court soldiers?” Junior Leopard asked sternly, “Hurry up and go, or are you thinking of shielding the rebel?!”

Words spoken had already reached this point. Ma Laizi couldn’t do anything either. He could only climb up and run towards the city gate. He was just a small soldier guarding the city gate. The only people he could command were those few soldiers at the city gate. Now that such a thing had happened, he could only look for his own subordinates.

Junior Leopard saw that his actions were slow and he knew that he was stalling for time. He only coldly smiled and patted Little Du. Little Du roared and its body ran forward and chased after Ma Laizi’s buttocks. Ma Laizi didn’t dare to play any tricks. He shouted weirdly and rushed for the city gate. He actually ran faster than a rabbit being chased by a dog!
