Chapter 110: Should Not Have Come

~8 min read 1,515 words

"Prefect!"

Standing up, Shen Yu walked toward the other party step by step; the oppressive aura rushing toward him caused the Prefect opposite him to change color drastically.

"Shen Hengzhi, in broad daylight and under the bright sky, you, what are you trying to do? I am an official appointed by the imperial court, don't you come any closer!"

"Prefect, do not be afraid. I just want to tell you, don't meddle in some things, people will die!"

"You, you!" The other party's threatening words were already written all over his face. When he first arrived, he could use his status to pressure others. But when the other person didn't care about his official position at all, he was truly at his wit's end.

Although he also possessed the strength of the Postnatal Realm, in front of such an expert, he was truly not worth looking at; he wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

Moreover, these so-called experts all had explosive tempers; if they were provoked, there was nothing they wouldn't do. However, there were some things he had to do, otherwise, the consequences would be even more severe.

Forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, the Prefect braced himself and said, "Shen Hengzhi, think clearly, I, I can completely dismiss you from your post right now!"

"Dismiss me from my post? I'm afraid the Prefect doesn't have that authority?" Curling his lips in disdain, Shen Yu said indifferently, "Then, sir, do you have a document from the Ministry of Personnel? If you have one, then I have no choice! It's a pity, you don't have one!"

"Shen Yu, look at what this is?"

"Damn, don't tell me he really has one!" Seeing the other party pull out a document, Shen Yu was also stunned. These people couldn't have even managed to handle those people in the Ministry of Personnel, could they? But that wasn't right; even if they could handle the Ministry of Personnel, there wouldn't be enough time.

Taking it blankly and looking at it, Shen Yu frowned slightly, "This is a signed order from the Governor's Office?"

"Not bad, this is indeed a signed order from the Governor's Office. In this way, you are no longer the County Magistrate of Sanshui County!"

With a light smile, the Silver Badge Constable from the Capture Gate next to him looked at Shen Yu triumphantly, then said faintly, "Since that is the case, we will take this prisoner away!"

"Slow down!" Casually tossing the signed order from the Governor's Office aside, Shen Yu didn't even have the mood to take a second look. That punchable appearance made the people opposite him itch with hatred, yet they were helpless.

They couldn't really make a move; it wasn't certain who would beat whom when the time came.

"Shen Hengzhi, do you dare to defy the laws of the imperial court?"

"The ones violating the laws of the imperial court are you. According to the imperial court's statutes, the Governor's Office can only use a signed order to forcibly appoint or remove a County Magistrate in extremely urgent situations."

"But now, there is neither war nor famine, and I have not participated in any unpardonable crimes. Since neither is true, the signed order from the Governor's Office is completely invalid. Now, if the Prefect does not have a document from the Ministry of Personnel, then you have no right to dismiss me and take me into custody!"

"You!" That was true, but this was the first time they had seen someone who didn't take a signed order from the Governor's Office seriously at all. You greenhorn, you won't go far like this!

"What about me? If there is nothing else, I won't keep the Prefect for a meal!"

To tell the truth, Shen Yu was really too lazy to talk nonsense with them. The people from the Capture Gate and the Prefect appearing at the same time looked like they had planned it. Don't look at how they are jumping around now; just wait, there will be no shortage of them being added to the list one by one afterward.

"Bang!" Just at this moment, a loud boom suddenly came from the backyard, and Shen Yu's expression changed slightly; the Mechanism he had set up in the back had been triggered.

Looking coldly toward the Prefect, what a fine "luring the tiger away from the mountain." The appearance of these people before him was perfectly timed; they were likely trying to keep him occupied.

If he agreed to hand the person over, then naturally everyone would be happy. If he didn't agree, then others would make a move. After all, in their view, there was only one expert here, Shen Yu; as long as he was kept occupied, the rest would naturally be easy to capture.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated one point: there was more than one expert here!

"Hum!" At the same time, a sword light appeared from the backyard; the sharp Sword Qi brought a biting murderous intent, as if it wanted to annihilate everything.

"This, this is an expert of the Grandmaster Realm?" As soon as that terrifying aura from the backyard appeared, the Silver Badge Constable next to him couldn't help but blurt out, the expression on his face flickering between uncertainty and fear.

That shouldn't be; this County Magistrate of Sanshui County was right beside him, so who was that expert in the backyard?

"Boom!" Without giving them much time to react, the terrifying Sword Qi erupted with a roar, as if to cleanse everything, and two figures flew out from the backyard at high speed.

"Such terrifying Sword Qi, this 'Peerless in Zither and Sword' is truly well-deserved, oh no!" The two people who had temporarily retreated to avoid the Sword Qi from the backyard suddenly felt a sense of extreme danger coming from behind them as well.

This was a feeling they hadn't had for many years; it was an instinct that only appeared in times of extreme danger.

"Clang, clang!" At the same time, countless sounds of swords ringing out rose from behind the two. When the two turned their heads to look, dense swarms of sharp swords had already taken to the air at some unknown time.

The impenetrable blades brought a chilling murderous intent, as if even the air were filled with streaks of Sword Qi, making one's scalp tingle just looking at it.

"What on earth is this?" The two who had just retreated from the backyard thought they had encountered that County Magistrate in the backyard. But before they could react, they were already surrounded by countless sharp swords.

Before they could steady their forms, that terrifying sword net was already rushing toward them. The endless sword light seemed to be inexhaustible; even as the two of them unleashed their Martial Arts to the limit, it became increasingly difficult to hold on.

"What kind of Martial Arts is this, how can it be so terrifying!" Having been caught in a hasty response, the Sword Rain that poured down like a violent storm gave them no chance to catch their breath.

Even though both were experts of the Grandmaster Realm, they could hardly maintain their defense when facing such an overwhelming, sudden attack.

Finally, one of them, in a moment of panic, revealed a slight gap and was immediately pierced through by the dense blades. Then, the endless swords swarmed in, completely submerging them.

"No!" Grieved by the tragic death of his companion, the other person was also terrified. Their cultivation levels were about the same; with his companion dead, how long could he last on his own?

The people here were too brutal; they shouldn't have come!

"I surren— Pfft!" Just as this person was about to shout, before the words were fully out, he followed in his companion's footsteps, likewise pierced through by countless sharp blades, and his body fell straight down from mid-air.

After seeing clearly who the person who fell was, the eyes of the Silver Badge Constable next to him were left with only shock and panic, "This is the Twin Heroes of Zhangshui! It's actually them!"

Although these two hadn't been in the Grandmaster Realm for long, a Grandmaster was still a Grandmaster, far from what ordinary Xiantian Experts could compare to. Moreover, the two of them were skilled in joint-attack techniques and were famous in the Jianghu; he hadn't expected them to just be gone like this.

Looking up toward Shen Yu's direction, only one voice echoed in his heart now: "This person cannot be provoked!"

Walking up, Shen Yu grabbed one in each hand and threw these two experts, who had been pierced into rags, directly out of the County Government Office, then said faintly, "What kind of place do you think my Sanshui County is? You dare to act recklessly here; you truly overestimate yourselves!"

Speaking of this, Shen Yu's gaze also looked toward the Prefect and that Silver Badge Constable, making them shiver all over.

"System, Sign-in!"

"Sign-in successful, obtained Mystical Gate Hidden Armor!"
