“It’s not that I won't pay, but I must first know your identity, right?”
Chu Liuyue spoke calmly.
Seeing Chu Liuyue's attitude, the man thought she was afraid, and his arrogance grew even more rampant.
“I am Wu Zhao, a disciple of the Eight Directions Sect!”
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes.
The Eight Directions Sect... in Xiling, they were merely a third-rate sect.
She hadn't expected that their people would now dare to act so high and mighty toward her in Pingliang Square.
“I wasn't asking for your name. I was asking—on what grounds are you collecting money from me? It sounds like you aren't an official of the government.”
Wu Zhao froze for a moment before realizing what Chu Liuyue meant.
He clenched his fists and took a step forward.
Against the backdrop of his burly and imposing physique, Chu Liuyue appeared even more petite and delicate.
“On what grounds? On the grounds that my fists are hard! If you don't pay today, don't even think about leaving!”
This was an outright robbery.
The many teleportation arrays in Pingliang Square all belonged to the Imperial Family of the Tianling Empire.
Under normal circumstances, as long as there were no special circumstances, these arrays were available for practitioners to use.
However, maintaining these arrays consumed vast financial resources, so they generally charged a symbolic maintenance fee.
Even for the largest teleportation array she was currently using, the fee was usually one White Crystal Coin for every ten people.
This Wu Zhao was asking for ten coins right off the bat; he was being incredibly greedy!
Most importantly, although the Black Cavalry was responsible for maintenance, they mostly handled public security. The matter of collecting fees was mostly handed over to various sects within Xiling City.
Members of these sects received special treatment when using the teleportation arrays and could profit from them, resulting in a naturally harmonious relationship.
Therefore, even though many Black Cavalry soldiers were patrolling nearby, no one stepped forward when they saw Wu Zhao causing trouble for Chu Liuyue.
Generally speaking, as long as no lives were lost, they would not interfere excessively.
Jian Fengchi stood with his arms crossed, watching the scene unfold with a smile.
This Wu Zhao was only at the early stage of the fifth rank; if he were to step in, it wouldn't be a problem.
However, it seemed Chu Liuyue had no intention of letting him intervene.
It just so happened that he also wanted to see how Chu Liuyue intended to deal with these troubles after arriving in Xiling City!
Chu Liuyue raised an eyebrow.
Jian Fengchi could help her once, but he couldn't help her a second, third, or countless times!
Moreover, she understood the rules of Xiling.
If she couldn't resolve this matter herself, then in the eyes of the crowd, she would always be a weakling!
“And if I say no?” Chu Liuyue asked back leisurely.
Wu Zhao sneered
“Little girl, it seems this is your first time in Xiling. You don't understand some of the rules yet! I advise you to just hand over the money honestly. Otherwise... it would be such a pity if such a beautiful face were ruined.”
“I said—no.”
Chu Liuyue spoke again, her voice resolute.
The smile vanished from Wu Zhao's face, revealing a ferocious expression on his fleshy features.
“If you don't want to pay, you can just beat me!”
As he spoke, he once again looked down at Chu Liuyue, his aura erupting and nearly enveloping her!
Chu Liuyue nodded with a light smile
“Fine!”
As her voice fell, the surroundings suddenly went quiet.
Wu Zhao frowned
“What did you say?”
Chu Liuyue pointed to herself
“I said—fine!”
Forget the fact that she didn't have any White Crystal Coins on her right now; even if she did, she wouldn't waste them in a place like this!
Wu Zhao laughed out of sheer anger
“Good, good, good! You said it yourself! Don't you dare regret it later!”
Chu Liuyue looked around and gestured with her chin toward an empty space nearby.
“There!”
With that, she walked over on her own.
The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment.
“Has she gone mad?! She's actually going to challenge Wu Zhao!?”
“Although Wu Zhao is only considered middle-to-low tier in the Eight Directions Sect, he is still at the early stage of the fifth rank! That woman is only a third-rank martial artist; isn't this just seeking death?”
“Who knows what she's thinking. She came with Jian Fengchi, so she probably thinks Wu Zhao won't dare to kill her?”
“Pingliang Square has always had a rule—as long as it is a duel, no one else is allowed to interfere. Even though Jian Fengchi has a noble status and great strength, he surely knows that if he intervenes halfway, that woman will never be able to hold her head up in Xiling City again!”
“I just hope that brute Wu Zhao doesn't hurt the woman's face. Xiling City hasn't seen a woman of such peerless beauty in a long time...”
While the surrounding crowd whispered incessantly, Chu Liuyue paid them no mind. She walked to the empty space, stood her ground, and looked at Wu Zhao.
“Chu Liuyue of the Yaochen Kingdom, hereby challenges you!”
Wu Zhao stretched his shoulders and back, his eyes fixed intently on Chu Liuyue.
“Wu Zhao of the Eight Directions Sect, accepts!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure moved, and he was the first to charge toward Chu Liuyue!
Though he was burly, his movement technique was extremely agile, and his speed was incredibly fast! He was like a moving small mountain!
In an instant, he had reached the front of Chu Liuyue!
A most basic straight punch was thrown with ferocity!
In his view, dealing with such a delicate third-rank martial artist didn't even warrant the use of martial techniques!
One punch would be enough!
The stray hairs by Chu Liuyue's ears fluttered in the wind!
The powerful wind from the punch whipped her clothes loudly!
The pressure rushed straight toward her face!
Seeing that the fist, which was almost as large as Chu Liuyue's face, was about to land, many people shook their heads in regret.
Had this woman been scared senseless? She didn't even know how to dodge?
She had looked quite confident earlier; it turned out she was just putting on an act.
At that very moment!
Chu Liuyue shifted her footing, softened her waist, and leaned backward! She narrowly avoided the punch!
Immediately after, she raised her right hand and directly gripped Wu Zhao's wrist!
Wu Zhao was startled!
How did that woman dodge just now?
Before he could figure it out, he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his wrist!
It was Chu Liuyue pressing her fingers inward, then violently wrenching his wrist upward!
Almost simultaneously, she raised her foot and kicked toward Wu Zhao's elbow!
An extreme sensation of numbness and pain surged through him, causing the strength in Wu Zhao's arm to vanish instantly!
His arm went limp for a moment!
Filled with shock and rage, he immediately reached out with his other hand to grab Chu Liuyue!
However, Chu Liuyue actually used that leg to lock Wu Zhao's arm, and then twisted her waist!
Her entire body flipped through the air!
Wu Zhao's arm was trapped, nearly being snapped!
Subsequently, Chu Liuyue landed gracefully, while Wu Zhao was dragged down and slammed directly onto the ground!
*Thud!*
His heavy body hit the ground with a dull sound!
“You—”
Wu Zhao gritted his teeth, preparing to rise and counterattack, but Chu Liuyue had already closed in, stepping heavily onto Wu Zhao's chest!
That slender, straight long leg looked exquisitely beautiful, yet it contained terrifying power!
As she stepped down—
*Crack!*
Wu Zhao's chest actually caved in deeply!
