Chapter 282: Chapter 121 The Monster Martial Pill is Ready! Monster Smoke Rises to the Sky!_3

“Don’t do anything stupid! He is the younger brother of the State Governor; if you kill him… there will be no place for you in the entire Dafeng State!”

One by one, the soldiers clad in black armor halted their steps. Someone hastily cried out, informing Su Changkong of Pei Chen’s identity.

These soldiers of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry were all trained for a long time, undaunted by death. Even as Su Changkong slaughtered mercilessly, it was hard to make their morale crumble, but capturing Pei Chen alive had them suddenly cautious, afraid to cross the line, worried for Pei Chen’s safety.

“The Ape Demon is this strong? To capture Pei Chen alive amidst thousands of Dafeng Iron Cavalry?”

The man in the bronze mask, Zhao Chengji, who had already surrendered and was tied up, along with the others, witnessed this and were dumbstruck. It was difficult for them to imagine that the ‘Ape Demon’ with whom they had done business had the strength to capture Pei Chen amongst an army of thousands!

At the same time, they were also worried that if Su Changkong really killed Pei Chen, they would inevitably be implicated!

“Pei Chen, you are much weaker than I had anticipated! Weren’t you going to tear my mouth apart?”

Looking down at Pei Chen at his feet, Su Changkong said coldly.

Pei Chen’s face flushed with anger, he was trampled under Su Changkong’s feet, utterly humiliated. Gone was his previous commanding presence, assuming an air of authority. He was furious and agitated, blood rushing to his head, and regardless of everything, he suddenly roared, “Don’t mind me! Kill him. Kill him!”

This made the surrounding soldiers look at each other in dismay. As soldiers, obeying orders was their duty, but if they obeyed, the other side would surely kill Pei Chen, and they would not be able to shirk responsibility either!

Su Changkong’s eyes turned icy as he grabbed Pei Chen by the neck and lifted him up. His left hand brought a gust of wind as he slapped Pei Chen across the face.

“Smack!”

The slap was forceful, causing Pei Chen’s cheek to split, blood dripping down as several teeth came loose and flew out, mingled with blood!

This hefty slap made Pei Chen’s head reel, nearly causing him to pass out.

The ape mask on Su Changkong’s face appeared increasingly ferocious in Pei Chen’s eyes. His cold voice echoed in Pei Chen’s ears, “Pei Chen, do you wish to die? I don’t mind ushering you on your way!”

The murderous intent in Su Changkong’s eyes gave Pei Chen a shock, snapping him fully awake with a surge of extreme fear. The formidable person in front of him really dared to kill him! If he died, he would lose everything!

Pei Chen’s mouth bled, and his body trembled as he struggled repeatedly, “I… I don’t want to die… Don’t kill me… Don’t kill me…”

As he spoke, Pei Chen also shamefully closed his eyes. Humiliation! Such extreme humiliation!

Being slapped by Su Changkong in front of everyone, he had to bow his head and beg for mercy to save his own life, an indignity he could never have imagined.

“What about that Star Pattern Gold? Should I give it back to you?” Su Changkong asked, appearing to smile.

The conflict had started because of Pei Chen. Seizing Zhao Chengji and others for embezzlement in selling Star Pattern Gold was one thing, but Su Changkong had paid real silver for it. Pei Chen wanted to take all that back without paying a penny, as if it were that simple!

“That Star Pattern Gold is yours… all yours…” Pei Chen had no choice but to concede humbly. It was too humiliating to behave so cravenly in front of his own men to save his life, to the point where he even had tears of humiliation in his eyes.

Pei Chen was indeed a disciple born into a great family, almost never having suffered setbacks. Today’s blow was unprecedented for him!

It might even become a lifelong stain, which made Pei Chen somewhat regret having provoked the ‘Ape Demon.’

Su Changkong then turned his attention away, looking coldly at a robust soldier who appeared to be a Chiliarch, based on his attire, “I’ve had quite the scare today. How will you compensate me?”

The Chiliarch repeatedly said, “Any compensation… silver notes! Yes, silver notes! Where’s the money?”

Someone caught on. They couldn’t possibly carry silver notes with them on an expedition, but there was a significant sum on Zhao Chengji and the others—the 600,000 taels of silver that Su Changkong had used to purchase Star Pattern Gold. The soldiers took it all out and cautiously handed it over, which Su Changkong unceremoniously grabbed and tucked into his chest.

Zhao Chengji’s mouth twitched slightly as he watched. They had stolen the Star Pattern Gold from the mines of Feng State City to make this money, and now it was back in Su Changkong’s hands.

Of course, even if they didn’t return it to Su Changkong, they had been caught and couldn’t keep it anyway.

“Is that all?” Su Changkong was dissatisfied.

The Chiliarch’s eyes shifted slightly, “We can… send someone back to get it. There’s as much money as you want.”

But Su Changkong wasn’t fooled by this. Taking Pei Chen as a bargaining chip and extorting treasures and money from the Pei Family was indeed a way to make a fortune, but it was foolish.

In Feng State City, there were truly powerful masters that Su Changkong couldn’t deal with!

Like Hong Zhenxiang, whom he had seen the other day, whose strength was profound and unfathomable, far beyond what he was capable of handling.

If Su Changkong really let these people go back to gather the money, the Pei Family would surely send such high-level masters, and maybe not just one. Having money would be useless if there was no life to spend it.

“Alright, stand aside! I have no time to dally with you.”

Su Changkong wasn’t keen on sticking around, the longer he stayed, the greater the chance of complications. He kept a firm hold on Pei Chen’s neck.

“Make way… make way…” Pei Chen had no choice but to order, awakened by Su Changkong’s brutal slap. He also understood that obedient compliance was his only chance of survival. After all, he had the protective charm of being the State Governor’s younger brother, which generally deterred people from actually wanting to kill him.
