Chen Ruixin knew that his actions had surely exposed his hidden identity. But the thought of being able to eliminate Su Xi made him utterly unconcerned.
After all, the purpose of his hidden identity was for Su Xi. Now that he had caught Su Xi in a compromising position, there was naturally no need to conceal his identity any longer.
To quickly achieve his desires, he reprimanded without any scruples, "This matter is your fault to begin with. You must give everyone an explanation."
"Yes, you must give us a reasonable explanation." With someone taking the lead, the rest naturally had no reservations.
Watching a spectacle, one never complained of too much excitement.
What's more, Su Xi had single-handedly severed their path to immortality. It was impossible not to harbor some anger in their hearts.
The seething crowd before him seemed ready to attack at any moment.
Yet, Su Xi remained unfazed, instead calmly asking, "After all this talk, what exactly do you want as an explanation?"
Chen Ruixin glanced at Su Xi, smiled, and stated his demand, "As the saying goes, a life for a life, a debt for a debt. You must be punished to satisfy everyone."
Lin Dong glanced at Su Xi, fumbled for a wooden stick on his person, and tossed it before Su Xi. Seizing the opportunity, he said, "I know my son has problems. So I don't want you to be foolish either. My Lin family is not unreasonable. We only ask that you strike yourself three times with this stick."
"Huh?" Su Xi heard Lin Dong's words and looked at him in confusion.
Was this minor matter considered a demand?
Lin Dong and the others had caused such a huge commotion for this small request?
*Tsk tsk.*
She refused to believe these people would be so kind, only asking her to strike herself three times with a wooden stick.
This ordinary stick before her must be unusual. If she truly followed their instructions, she would undoubtedly fall into a trap.
Since she knew the stick was peculiar, she naturally wouldn't foolishly comply.
She kicked the stick away and took out a fire poker from her person, "No need for all that trouble, I have one here."
A fire poker was still a stick, and it was perfectly usable at this moment.
Lin Dong hadn't expected Su Xi to carry a stick. He stared blankly at Chen Ruixin, unsure of what to do next.
Su Xi's mind was too agile; she wasn't following their plan at all. This was too much to handle.
Chen Ruixin also hadn't anticipated Su Xi carrying a stick, feeling a degree of helplessness.
However, he quickly regained his composure, stepped forward, and stopped her, "This is the local custom. You must use their stick. This stick of theirs is no ordinary stick; it has been consecrated for a long time and holds great significance."
Hearing Chen Ruixin's words, Su Xi suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Ruixin was somewhat bewildered by Su Xi's sudden laughter. His words didn't seem to contain any humor.
Was she out of her mind to be laughing?
Su Xi stopped laughing when Chen Ruixin inquired, wiping away the tears of laughter from her eyes. "How old are you, to be so naive?"
*Sigh.*
Chen Ruixin became increasingly confused by Su Xi's words, completely unsure of what she was talking about.
He wasn't old; could he have a generation gap with Su Xi and not understand what she was saying?
Su Xi didn't play coy. She raised the fire poker in her hand and tapped her own hand, saying, "The rules of the Five Great Immortal Mountains, why should they apply to me? My fate is mine to control, not dictated by the heavens, let alone the rules of the Five Great Immortal Mountains."
"What did you say?" Chen Ruixin was shocked to hear such rebellious words from Su Xi and was momentarily speechless.
He had met many disciples of the Five Great Immortal Mountains. They all held the honor of their mountains in high regard and would never want to be a sinner who damaged their reputation. Naturally, they would never utter such blasphemous words.
Now, Su Xi, merely a Foundation Establishment stage disciple, was saying such things.
He momentarily doubted if his ears were playing tricks on him, causing him to hear such insane words.
Su Xi paid no mind to Chen Ruixin's thoughts. Her patience had long been exhausted by this group.
So, she flicked the fire poker in her hand, and a blue-red light swept towards Chen Ruixin.
Strength was the ultimate currency; everything else was a minor issue.
The attack hadn't even arrived, but a strong gust of wind preceded it.
In an instant, the surrounding mortals were frozen into ice blocks.
While Su Xi didn't wish to kill, she was not afraid of doing so.
If she could kill monsters, why not people?
Since these people harbored ill intentions towards her, she would not show them any mercy.
Her supercomputer had long detected a potent poison contained within the stick they had brought. Upon mere contact, all her magical power would be rendered useless, and her entire body would become limp for days.
Deprived of her ability to resist, she would become a helpless individual, destined to be slaughtered.
Therefore, understanding the malicious intent of this group, Su Xi naturally would not hold back.
Chen Ruixin hadn't expected Su Xi to actually kill someone and instantly became nervous.
His cultivation was actually similar to Su Xi's, but he lacked combat experience. His confidence stemmed from wanting to suppress Su Xi from a moral high ground and then do as he pleased.
He hadn't expected Su Xi to disregard everything and act so boldly.
"Do you know that you will be punished by the Law Enforcement Alliance for doing this?" In his moment of crisis, Chen Ruixin yelled.
As a rogue cultivator, he was well aware of the status of the Law Enforcement Alliance among cultivators. This was why he dared to oppose the Five Great Immortal Mountains.
Hearing Chen Ruixin mention the Law Enforcement Alliance to threaten her, Su Xi pondered for a moment, then produced a handgun and added some more attacks.
The Law Enforcement Alliance, the most deserving of death. Furthermore, someone dared to use them to suppress her.
Chen Ruixin's face was filled with disbelief as he saw Su Xi's relentless barrage of attacks.
What was happening?
In the past, which of the people from the Five Great Immortal Mountains would not be hesitant upon hearing about the Law Enforcement Alliance? Why was Su Xi so arrogant, completely disregarding them?
Was she not worried about being sanctioned?
However, despite Chen Ruixin's many questions, he could no longer voice them. He was completely engulfed by the light and vanished.
As Chen Ruixin died, the token on his person suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.
This buzzing was so loud that it reverberated throughout Rongcheng. Many people quickly covered their ears to prevent their eardrums from bursting.
With the sounding of this alarm, two immense presences suddenly emanated from within Rongcheng. "Who dares to lay hands on a member of our Law Enforcement Alliance?"
Although Chen Ruixin's cultivation was low, his good appearance had made him a member of the Law Enforcement Alliance, granting him an outer disciple token.
Now that he was dead, the Law Enforcement Alliance, for the sake of their reputation, would naturally not let this matter go easily.
Otherwise, if they were not united, others would dare to bully them in the future.
