Capítulo 1405: Chapter 1376: I’m So Poor I Can’t Hear You
Upon hearing this voice, Li Chen’s eyebrows furrowed immediately, and he turned his head to look behind him.
From behind him, a man with a somewhat gloomy face was slowly stepping inside.
Nowadays, Li Chen’s perception was naturally different than before. Even though the man looked to be around thirty, judging by his aura, the man was at least sixty or seventy years old.
However, once cultivation reached their level, everyone generally had a lifespan of a few hundred years. It was said that after breaking through to the Heavenly Level, one’s lifespan would increase to a thousand years, so considering the man’s age, he was indeed considered young.
Although Li Chen couldn’t discern the man’s cultivation level, he could sense that this man was a Heaven-level Expert!
Moreover, he was an even stronger Heaven-level Expert than Li Xinsheng!
“A mere Earth Level guy should not wander around carelessly.” Looking at Li Chen, Guu Bugui, being a Mid-Heaven Realm Late Stage Expert, naturally could tell that Li Chen was merely at the Infinite Level.
While the surface of the Heaven Realm appeared peaceful, with Heaven-level Experts and ordinary Martial Artists seeming almost alike, many were aware of an unwritten rule.
If you don’t ascend the Heaven Road, you’ll forever be an ant.
And the so-called Heaven Road refers to the Nine Layer Heavens of the Heavenly Level.
The cultivation within the Heavenly Realm, each layer is as difficult as ascending to heaven, which is why it’s referred to as the Heaven Road.
Li Chen, being such an Earth Level, truly did not catch Guu Bugui’s eye.
“Oh? I didn’t expect you to have such a little beauty by your side.” Guu Bugui’s gaze suddenly swept over Bai Tianyi behind Li Chen, revealing a strange smile.
Seeing Guu Bugui’s expression, Bai Tianyi was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Li Chen, whispering to him, “Brother…”
“Brother?” Hearing Bai Tianyi’s voice, Guu Bugui’s smile grew even wider, and he looked at Li Chen with a much friendlier expression.
“Friend, is this your sister? I was rude just now; my name is Guu Bugui.”
Li Chen glanced at Guu Bugui. He saw through all of Guu Bugui’s actions, how could he not know what the other person was thinking? Shaking his head, he turned around to leave the shop without intending to engage with the other party at all.
Seeing Li Chen wanting to leave, Guu Bugui’s expression changed. He flashed in front of Li Chen to bar his way.
The smile on his face vanished as he stared at Li Chen and spoke flatly, “I, a Mid-Heaven Realm Late Stage, am talking to you, didn’t you hear?”
Li Chen impolitely scratched his ear, “Sorry, I’m too poor to hear you.”
“You…”
Guu Bugui was fully aware that Li Chen was mocking him? His face suddenly turned sullen, “I advise you to be sensible; a mere Earth Level daring to be rude in front of me — do you have a death wish?”
“So what if I’m rude to you?” Li Chen responded disdainfully.
He had heard about Baiyue City’s rules on the way. Although the weak are heavily preyed upon in the Heaven Realm, generally, in a city, no one is allowed to arbitrarily attack.
“Well!” Guu Bugui laughed angrily.
“Here’s your last chance: Hand over your sister to me, or the day you leave the city will be your death day!” Guu Bugui threatened unabashedly.
Upon hearing Guu Bugui’s words, Li Chen frowned, already harboring a killing intent towards the man. Although Li Xinsheng and Cang Ku spoke about the weak being preyed upon in the Heaven Realm, he hadn’t expected it to reach such an extent.
A Mid-Heaven Realm Expert was actually threatening him on the street.
“Get lost!” Li Chen did not waste time with Guu Bugui, shouted directly.
Li Chen’s voice was loud, and many people around instinctively looked over upon hearing it.
When they saw an Earth Level rudely telling a Mid-Heaven Realm Expert to get lost, their faces showed surprise.
This Earth Level guy is way too bold!
“Courting death!” Guu Bugui roared angrily, and his palm slammed towards Li Chen.
True Yuan formed a hand, falling towards Li Chen like it could blot out the sun, seemingly intending to crush Li Chen.
Li Chen’s expression changed, feeling a terrifying pressure descending upon him as if it would crush him to pulp.
In this instant, Li Chen could no longer care about anything else. Red Moon was in his hand in the first moment, and a shocking blade light flashed past.
“Boom!!”
The palm was split open by the blade light, and Guu Bugui stepped back two steps while Li Chen retreated seven or eight steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
“You have some skills; no wonder an Earth Level dares to be so arrogant!” Guu Bugui said coldly.
Li Chen unceremoniously cursed, “You must have a brain disease; why does it matter to you whether I’m arrogant or not? A dignified Mid-Heaven Realm attacking a mere Earth Level—isn’t that shameless? Everyone, come take a look, a Mid-Heaven Realm actually attacked me, a little insignificant Earth Level, on the street!”
As Li Chen shouted, people around also looked towards Guu Bugui.
Guu Bugui’s face grew darker and was about to teach Li Chen another lesson when two armored city guards came over.
They looked around and frowned, “What’s going on?”
Before Guu Bugui could speak, Li Chen cupped his hands, then pointed at Guu Bugui and said, “Sir City Guards, I was just buying something, and this guy suddenly came out and cursed at me.”
Li Chen looked indignant, “Fine, I have high standards and do not stoop to such uneducated people. But outside the shop, he continued pursuing to harass my sister, asking to make her his Furnace Cauldron. Otherwise, he would kill me. Initially, I thought he was joking, but unexpectedly, he actually acted in the street! If I didn’t have a couple of life-saving cards up my sleeve, I might have been killed by him!”
Guu Bugui was just about to rebut but was interrupted again by Li Chen.
“I’m just an insignificant Earth Level, my life is worthless. But this guy dares to act on the street of Baiyue City; isn’t he disregarding the City Lord and city rules?”
Guu Bugui’s mouth moved, but he found he did not know how to refute.
At this time, the city guards looked grimly at Guu Bugui, “Is this the case?”
“I… Hmph!”
The two city guards were only at the Mid-Heaven Realm Initial Stage, not enough for Guu Bugui to be concerned about, but the city guards were the force of the City Lord’s Mansion. He dared not act out rashly, so after snorting coldly, he didn’t bother to argue.
“I’m aware of Baiyue City’s rules.” After snorting coldly, Guu Bugui took out a pouch and handed it to the city guards as a fine. This was because he hadn’t caused any casualties, or he would be fined more.
After the city guards received the fine, they glanced at the pouch and immediately left, leaving Li Chen somewhat stunned.
“Just like that? What kind of crappy rules!” Li Chen cursed under his breath, feeling his effort was wasted for just a fine.
Only Guu Bugui, with a gloomy expression, looked at Li Chen. That wasn’t a small fine; it was a whole hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals!
“Kid, I’ll remember you. You better not let me see you outside Baiyue City!” With a cold remark, Guu Bugui no longer paid attention to Li Chen and turned away.
