CHAPTER 266: CHAPTER 266: STUBBORN AND UNYIELDING

Easily speaking out high-level secrets like this, with a hint of inherent contempt in his words, that boy’s identity...

Combined with the deferential respect of the head of the Anti-theft Bureau towards the boy, the bearded man grew increasingly terrified, his arrogance instantly deflating, a fawning twisted smile appearing on his face.

"Master, I didn’t recognize your greatness..."

Seeing this, Zhu Haomiao chuckled and curled his lips.

"I still prefer your unruly demeanor from before. Revert back to it."

The bearded man’s expression immediately turned bitter, yet at that moment, Yan Yunsheng suddenly turned to look outside the prison, his eyebrow twitching.

"What’s wrong?"

Knowing that his 2.9 ’God’ attribute wasn’t sensitive enough, Zhu Haomiao straightforwardly asked.

"Someone has broken in, there’s shouting and killing outside, it might be a jailbreak!"

As he spoke, Yan Yunsheng urgently clasped his fists, "Master, I will go and check first."

"No rush, I’ll go with you."

A glimmer of excitement appeared in Zhu Haomiao’s eyes. His figure flashed, transforming into a shadow as he darted towards the stairs.

Quickly, the two rushed out of the prison. The sounds of shouting and killing immediately surged towards them.

Upon reaching the battlefield, they found ten or so constables being continuously pushed back by three agile figures, with several uniformed bodies twitching on the ground.

"How bold!!"

Yan Yunsheng roared, his eyes bloodshot, charging towards the battlefield like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain.

An anxious colleague, unable to intervene, brightened at the sight, tossing Yan Yunsheng’s beloved weapon into the air.

"Great Captain! Catch the sword!"

Clang!

Yan Yunsheng grabbed the hilt in mid-air, drew swiftly, the crisp sound of the blade like a dragon’s roar resonating around, startling the three enemies.

"Wasn’t the head of the Lechang Square’s Anti-theft Bureau supposed to be a worthless drunkard? How did they have such experts?!"

The blade’s edge had yet to reach their bodies, but the fierce intent of the blade swept over like a cold wind, making them shiver with fear. The three instantly gathered all their attention, focusing on Yan Yunsheng.

Woo woo woo woo~

With the momentum of a charge, Yan Yunsheng slashed down with his sword, the piercing sound of the blade cutting through the air carrying a hint of tiger’s roar and dragon’s chant.

Towering over two meters, dressed in monk’s attire, muscles rippling all over, the monk wielding a demon-suppressing zen stick charged forward, only to be sent flying three meters backward by a single slash.

"Tsk! This one’s tricky! Attack together!"

The monk growled, as the man and woman beside him pushed back the encircling constables in unison, flanking Yan Yunsheng to prevent him from pursuing his victory.

But with the backbone joining the battlefield, the constables utilized the encirclement array they had trained regularly, stabilizing the situation for the moment.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the battlefield, Zhu Haomiao coldly observed the enemies, a flicker of an obscure divine light in the depths of his pupils.

A monk with a sinewy build, a man resembling a fat pig, a woman adorned like a flower...

Except for the monk, the other two were weaker than Yan Yunsheng, how dare they attempt a jailbreak?!

In the depths of his soul, the boy sensed a hint of fate’s guidance...

Feeling something, the boy raised a hand without looking back, five fingers spread open.

"Bring the sword!"

The nearby observant subordinate shivered, hastily handing his sword to the boy.

Casually twirling the sword, Zhu Haomiao strode forward, approaching the battlefield leisurely, his voice carrying a low shout.

"Impudent offenders, how dare you trespass the court’s grounds, surrender now?!"

The naive and childish words did not intimidate the three; instead, they burst into laughter.

"Where did this yellow-haired brat come from, did he lose his mind from reading too much?"

"Not just the mere Anti-theft Bureau, even the emperor’s palace is a place we come and go as we please!"

"Little brother, take a sister’s advice, go home and drink milk!"

...

Facing the trio’s taunts, Zhu Haomiao remained indifferent, his gaze not stopping on them, instead slightly looking towards the sky, his deep, mysterious vision seemingly piercing through time and space, staring into the enigmatic beyond.

He wasn’t speaking to the three bandits; rather, like making a grand Buddhist vow, he was leading the river of time to shift through declaration, seeking the feedback of the Heavenly Destiny!

Then, the boy smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

"Then do not blame me for what happens next, do not blame me for executing without teaching!"

Swish~

With righteousness on his side, the boy’s slender figure instantly vanished from its spot. Experienced Yan Yunsheng’s heart stirred, letting out an angry roar.

"Strong attack!"

Upon hearing the command, the constables gritted their teeth, launching a fierce attack that overwhelmed the three, forcing them into disarray.

In a flash, the chilling glow of the long sword gleamed like a venomous snake in the shadows, striking towards the woman’s nape from an unseen angle.

Armor Breaking Force·Triumph!

"Third sister, watch out!"

The rotund man, standing beside her like a meatball, with bloodshot eyes, lunged behind the woman, willing to take two slashes from the constables.

Yet, the lethal move was like a rainbow piercing the sun. As soon as the man made his move, a head adorned like a blossom flew into the air, the shocked expression not yet comprehending what had happened.

"Third sister!!"

Torrents of warm blood spurted from the severed neck, splattering on the man’s face as he instinctively hugged the headless body, his furious and crazed eyes slowly turned towards Zhu Haomiao.

"Second brother, there’s something strange about this brat, let’s go!"

On the other side, sensing something amiss, the sinewy monk swung his zen stick to repel the attackers, anxiously roaring towards the man.

"No! I must avenge Third Sister!!"

The man let out a heart-wrenching howl, his hateful eyes locked onto the boy lightly twirling the sword, flicking away blood pearls from the blade.

Noticing the man had lost his sense from hatred, the monk glared at him angrily, then cast a ferocious glance at Zhu Haomiao, as if trying to imprint the boy’s image into his very soul.

Immediately, the monk twirled his staff, breaking free from the constables’ encirclement, leaping onto a two-zhang-high wall, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Yan Yunsheng and the constables instinctively looked at Zhu Haomiao, awaiting his command.

The boy didn’t raise his head, merely watching the rotund man with interest, whispering softly.

"Pursue, leave none alive."

The gentle whisper carried chilling ruthlessness, making Yan Yunsheng shudder, inwardly clicking his tongue.

Inspector Li has such a strong thirst for blood!

Swallowing hard, Yan Yunsheng held his sword, saluted hastily, then led a dozen constables, briskly following the monk’s steps.

Inside the Anti-theft Bureau, Zhu Haomiao waved his hand, the surrounding constables, who were eager to move, exchanged glances, gradually spreading out to form a loose encirclement, leaving just the boy and the rotund man facing each other from a distance.

"If you surrender now, I can spare your life."

To Zhu Haomiao’s proposition, the obese man gently placed down the headless corpse, slowly rising to his feet, expressionless but with blood-red eyes filled with mad hatred.

Seeing this, Zhu Haomiao shook his head with regret.

"Stubborn and inflexible."
