Chapter 204

This time if he didn't make a move, even he felt a bit embarrassed. Lu Zhan saw Xu Chen and immediately sneered again and again: "Oh, your pretty-boy, he's quite fair-skinned.

Just looks weak and feeble, has the milk been cut off?"

The instant he finished speaking, quite a few soldiers following Lu Zhan nearby directly snickered.

As if the Xu Chen before them really was a piece of trash.

Xu Chen said calmly: "On the Gold Ranking, the most outstanding Marshal, you seem to be ranked exactly ninety-ninth.

Lu Zhan snorted coldly: "Although it's only ninety-ninth, anyone who can make the list is without exception a heaven-gifted genius. A piece of trash like you who commands people to live off a woman, do you think you can make the list?" Between his words, Lu Zhan's contempt for Xu Chen was absolute.

That attitude was even more lofty, not taking Xu Chen seriously at all. "Whoosh!"

In that instant, Xu Chen unleashed the Divine Spirit Soul-Suppressing Palm.

The Heaven Grade Intermediate palm seal abruptly condensed into form, then carrying a violent momentum, went straight for Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan had campaigned for many years and possessed extremely keen perception.

Although Xu Chen's palm seal was formless and colorless, he still felt a prickling sensation on his back, his pupils contracting sharply.

Damn it, what kind of attack is this, it actually gave him a feeling of death.

His body retreated frantically, instantly moving to the high sky, attempting to dodge Xu Chen's attack.

But he didn't expect the Divine Spirit Soul-Suppressing Palm to follow like a shadow, striking Lu Zhan the next second. "Bang!"

Lu Zhan's Divine Sense instantly fell into chaos, a violent pain arriving at the same time.

He began clutching his head with both hands, struggling frantically in the sky.

Xu Chen then kicked Lu Zhan right in the face, sending him like a cannonball crashing down. "Boom!"

In an instant, Lu Zhan landed on the ground outside the city wall.

A huge crater was smashed out by Lu Zhan, dust filling the air while spiderweb-like cracks also rapidly spread.

When the dust cleared and Lu Zhan stood up, his head was still ringing.

The next second, Xu Chen's figure, ghost-like, closed in on Lu Zhan.

Then his right hand directly gripped Lu Zhan's throat, Protective Qi covering his body at the same time.

In an instant, Lu Zhan's limbs thrashed wildly, all kinds of Spiritual Qi erupting frantically to bombard Xu Chen, only to find it completely useless.

He looked at Xu Chen with a face full of horror: "You, at your age, you're actually also ninth-rank?" This scene likewise shocked the hundreds of thousands of Imperial Dynasty troops.

They all looked dumbfounded—this youth not yet eighteen had actually taken a battle-hardened Marshal in stride?

Outrageous! Too outrageous!

Xu Chen's expression turned slightly cold: "If it weren't for the fact that you're still somewhat useful, right now you'd already be a corpse."

Lu Zhan gritted his teeth: "You dare kill me? If you kill me, the Empress won't let you off, I am a ninth-rank."

Xu Chen smiled and said: "What a coincidence, this time the Empress sent me here. She said, if you don't listen, you may be killed at will."

Lu Zhan's pupils contracted sharply—who is this person, that he could make the Empress give such an order?

He must be someone very important to the Empress, otherwise given the Empress's temperament, she wouldn't be like this.

He quickly thought of a certain person, then that person's appearance and figure slowly merged with Xu Chen. Finally he trembled: "You, you're Xu Chen?" He had originally been at the border and shouldn't have known of Xu Chen.

But yesterday the Second Prince sent a message through a Jade Pendant, informing him that Xu Chen would come here today.

He didn't take it seriously—mere Xu Chen, could he overturn the heavens?

But now he knew he was wrong.

The person before him had crushed him effortlessly, and killing him would be even easier. "You do have a bit of brains."

Xu Chen directly threw Lu Zhan to the ground, then Spiritual Qi surged at his fingertips, directly slicing off one of Lu Zhan's little fingers.

In an instant, blood streamed from Lu Zhan, yet he didn't dare let out even a muffled grunt.

Xu Chen patted Lu Zhan's face: "As a dog, from now on be more self-aware—not just anyone you can bark at, understand?"

Lu Zhan swallowed hard, terrified: "Un-understood."

He didn't know of Xu Chen's deeds in Jingcheng, but at this moment he had already realized just how strong Xu Chen was.

If he kept running his mouth any longer, he'd definitely be done for soon.

Hearing this, under the stunned gazes of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Xu Chen brought Lu Zhan back atop the city wall.

Then, Xu Chen looked at those soldiers who had mocked him earlier: "These people offended their superiors, mocked without cause—cut out their tongues and then execute them."

Those dozen or so soldiers were scared out of their wits on the spot, dropping to their knees: "No, please sir, we know we were wrong."

Xu Chen glanced at Lu Zhan, and Lu Zhan gave an immediate shudder, steeling himself: "Men, do exactly as the sir said."

Soon, other soldiers came up and dragged those dozen or so soldiers away.

Before long, screams were heard one after another.

Xu Chen continued to give orders: "Show me the recent deployment map of the border, and brief me on the situation between our nation and the enemy, so I can handle things from here."

Lu Zhan hurriedly nodded like a chick pecking at grain: "Yes, sir." With that said, the several of them entered the commander's tent together.
