Chapter 657 Mr. He Makes the Decision
The city gate opened, and a soldier sluggishly walked out. He glanced up at Gao Fei and the others, saying indifferently, "Come on in."
"Why did you make us wait so long!" Chen San glared and asked.
"Long?" The soldier curled his lips. "I think it was quite fast."
"You..." Chen San was about to speak when he was interrupted by the soldier.
"Just be content," the soldier said coolly. "Today our lord is in a good mood, letting you enter the city before nightfall. On other days, he'd have you wait outside all night long."
"What kind of attitude is this!" Chen San charged forward, intent on giving the soldier a thrashing.
"Don't be reckless," Gao Fei stopped the angry Chen San. "Stand aside, let me ask him."
"My lord..."
"Go stand aside!"
"This is so infuriating! What the hell!" Chen San walked off to the side, grumbling and cursing under his breath, "A mere soldier dares to be so arrogant; he must be sick of living."
Gao Fei sized up the soldier with a glance and asked impassively, "Who is this lord you mentioned?"
"You don't know?" The soldier showed a surprised expression.
"I've just arrived and am not familiar with the situation in Heavenly Water City," Gao Fei shook his head.
"Listen up, and listen good!" The soldier said, puffing himself up. "Here, it's Lord He who calls the shots! If he lets you live, you live; if he wants you dead, you must die!" he added, "Just a friendly reminder, better keep your heads down and don't do anything to anger Lord He. Otherwise, huff, you'll die miserably."
"Ho! Those are some big words!" Liu Qing, usually known for his composure, couldn't help it anymore. Glaring at the soldier, he said coldly, "Do you know who you're standing in front of? He is the city lord personally appointed by the Emperor himself, the highest Controller of Heavenly Water City. All of you must obey the lord's commands."
"Pfft," the soldier burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at!" Liu Qing demanded.
"I laugh at your overconfidence, your lack of self-awareness, and your failure to recognize the situation at hand," the soldier, hands on hips and glaring, scoffed. "The highest Controller of Heavenly Water City is Lord He, and everyone else must obey Lord He's orders," pointing at Gao Fei and the others, he added, "Including all of you! You all must listen to Lord He!"
"Bullshit!" Liu Qing fumed.
"You're the one talking bullshit!" the soldier cursed back. "What's the city lord compared to Lord He? Not even fit to carry his shoes! A bunch of ignoramuses, if you want to find death, go elsewhere and don't come to Heavenly Water City to lose face."
"Heh heh..." Gao Fei, who had been silent all this while, suddenly laughed. "Interesting! Such audacity from a mere soldier; I really don't know where you get your courage from. Chen San, Liu Qing, teach this senseless soldier a lesson, and enlighten him, calm him down a bit."
"Alrighty!"
"I've been waiting for that!"
Chen San and Liu Qing rolled up their sleeves and charged.
"What do you think you're doing! I warn you, if you dare touch me, Lord He will absolutely not let you off easily... Ow... you really dare to hit... " the soldier, covering his face, exclaimed in shock and anger.
"To hell with you!"
Chen San swung his fist and smashed it down.
"And your old man too!"
Liu Qing also threw a punch.
"Bang bang!"
Knocked to the ground, the soldier clutched his face and shrieked in pain, "You're done for! You're completely done for!"
"Still tough-talking, huh!"
"Beat him up!"
"Beat him hard!"
"What trash! Even a lowly soldier dares to threaten me, truly seeking death!"
"Hit him! Hit him hard! Keep hitting until he begs for mercy!"
Chen San and Liu Qing were viciously beating the soldier while loudly cursing, and in the blink of an eye, the soldier was beaten till his head was bloody and his condition was pitiable.
But seriously, this soldier was quite tough. No matter how savagely Chen San and Liu Qing beat him, he just wouldn't submit.
"Whoa! Quite the tough guy, aren't you!" Chen San sneered: "Let's see just how long you can keep it up! Liu Qing, rip off his pants, I'm going to castrate him! Let him never touch a woman in his life!"
"You got it!" Liu Qing readily went over, kicked the soldier first, then bent down and pulled off the soldier's pants.
Chen San sneered disdainfully: "What a disgrace to men." Chen San took out a long sword from his Storage Bag, raised it, and chopped towards the soldier.
"No, please!" The soldier finally panicked and couldn't act tough anymore: "Don't chop off my manhood! I was wrong! I apologize to you, please don't castrate me! I'm not even married yet! Please, I beg you!"
"Weren't you acting all tough?" Chen San laughed: "Why aren't you tough now? Keep at it, why don't you? You dog!"
The indignity was too much for the soldier to bear. He could withstand a beating, but castration was intolerable! He hadn't been a man long enough! To save his manhood, he had no choice but to submit. In his heart, he swore that the humiliation of this day would one day be repaid tenfold.
"Clip-clop-clip-clop!"
From a distance, a troop of soldiers ran over, about a hundred in number. Each held a Long Spear and wore Armor, presenting an impressive sight.
"Hey! What are you doing! Release my men immediately!" The leading officer shouted loudly.
"Release them! Release them!" A hundred soldiers echoed in unison.
"Hahaha... I told you so, you're done for! Completely finished!" The soldier suddenly laughed arrogantly: "Three wretches who don't know they're dead, daring to run wild here, you're truly tired of living! Just you wait, Lord He will definitely not let you off... you three dogs..."
"Whoosh!"
A flash of cold light, and the soldier's manhood was gone.
"Ahhh!!!" The soldier screamed miserably: "It hurts to death... hurts to death... my manhood..."
Chen San slowly withdrew the long sword, sneered coldly: "Congratulations! From now on, you're no longer a man! Hahaha..." By the end, Chen San couldn't help but burst into uproarious laughter: "Scream! Keep screaming! The more miserable you sound, the happier I am!"
Facing Chen San's mockery, the soldier had no strength to retort. He curled up, his face twisted in agony. At that moment, he just wished to pass out quickly so he wouldn't feel the pain anymore...
"Scoundrels!" The rushing officer bellowed furiously: "You've got some nerve! To dare harm the soldiers of Heavenly Water City! Come on, arrest them all, and if they dare resist, carry out execution on the spot!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A hundred soldiers charged forward, surrounding Gao Fei and company.
"How dare you!" Chen San roared: "You must have the guts of a bear and a Leopard to dare surround the City Lord! It seems you don't want to live!"
Liu Qing also shouted: "This is the newly appointed City Lord, kneel down and pay your respects!"
Gao Fei looked on indifferently at everything before him, without saying a word.
"City Lord? Bullshit!" The officer scoffed coldly: "In Heavenly Water City, I only recognize Lord He! As for some City Lord... all step aside, I advise you to surrender peacefully; maybe I'll spare your lives. But if you dare resist, I'll execute you on the spot!"
