Permanent Martial Arts Chapter 251 - He's the New Legate?

Chapter 251: He’s the New Legate?

In the villa area, when Lin Feng gently grabbed Shang Yuntao like he was grabbing an insect, everyone was dumbfounded. The entire villa area fell silent.

Even the most ignorant person knew that Shang Yuntao’s strength was extraordinary. That terrifying saber could almost affect an area of several kilometers. It was definitely not something an ordinary martial artist could do.

It could only be someone in the Divine Realm!

But now, a dignified Divine Realm martial artist had actually been captured by Lin Feng just like that, without any ability to resist. How strong must Lin Feng be?

Even martial artists knew that the Divine Realm was far stronger than ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Not long ago, Lin Feng’s performance in the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion was astonishing, but he was only a Metamorphic Realm martial artist. Yet now, he could easily defeat a Divine Realm martial artist.

Since when did martial arts cultivation become so easy?

“Shang Yuntao, have you gone insane? Stop…”

Suddenly, a figure flew over from afar. Before he could see the situation clearly, he was already shouting.

Swoosh.

Shen Jianxin rushed over. He had not even seen the situation clearly, but he felt that something was amiss. Where had that imposing Stellar Blade gone?

Even the Astral Power seemed to have dissipated. Countless eyes were focused on him.

“Huh? Shang Yuntao?”

Only then did Shen Jianxin realize that Shang Yuntao, who he had rushed over to stop in exasperation, had been “captured” by a terrifying giant.

As for the giant, he looked a little familiar, and there was no sign of Astral Power erupting from his body.

“Lin Feng?”

Suddenly, Shen Jianxin remembered. Wasn’t this Lin Feng? But when did Lin Feng become a giant?

“You’re the Legate of Central Sea City, Shen Jianxin?”

Lin Feng’s voice was thunderous. The moment he saw the aura emitted by Shen Jianxin, he knew that Shen Jianxin was a Divine Realm martial artist. The Legate was the only Divine Realm martial artist in Central Sea City. Lin Feng could naturally guess his ident.i.ty.

“I’m Shen Jianxin.”

Although the scene was a little chaotic, no one was injured, and no one had died. Hence, Shen Jianxin heaved a sigh of relief. If someone died and caused widespread damage, as the Legate, he would be accountable.

However, Shen Jianxin had seen the terrifying Stellar Blade condensed by Shang Yuntao with his own eyes just now. Shang Yuntao’s strength was above his, which showed just how terrifying Shang Yuntao was.

This was why Shen Jianxin was so anxious.

But now, Shang Yuntao kept struggling in Lin Feng’s hands, yet could not break free from Lin Feng’s restraint at all. Just how strong was Lin Feng now?

Even if Lin Feng had reached the Divine Realm, it was impossible for him to become so powerful, right?

Shen Jianxin drew a deep breath. He had to make a stand.

At this moment, many more Metamorphic Realm martial artists arrived. They were all members of the law enforcement team. When they saw the scene before them, they were also dumbfounded. Just Lin Feng’s terrifying size alone was extremely oppressive, let alone the fact that Lin Feng was holding the dignified peak Divine Realm martial artist, Shang Yuntao.

What was going on? Even the law enforcement team was confused.

“All of you, go around and maintain order. Do not allow any chaos.”

Shen Jianxin swept his gaze across the crowd below and naturally saw Zhao Dongsheng in the crowd.

“Zhao Dongsheng!”

Hearing Shen Jianxin call his name, Zhao Dongsheng’s heart skipped a beat. However, he could not just pretend he didn’t notice at this moment. He could only brace himself and walk out.

“Zhao Dongsheng, what’s going on?”

Shen Jianxin said in a low voice. This matter had blown up so much that someone had to take responsibility.

Zhao Dongsheng glanced at Lin Feng and Shang Yuntao in Lin Feng’s hand. His expression was a little complicated, but he still said, “Lord Legate, this matter all happened because of me. There are some misunderstandings between Lord Shang Yuntao and Lin Feng.”

“Misunderstanding?” Lin Feng sneered.

Seeing Lin Feng’s expression, how could Shen Jianxin not know that Zhao Dongsheng was avoiding the main point? Hence, he shouted, “Zhao Dongsheng, report everything in detail.”

“Yes, Lord Legate.”

Zhao Dongsheng was caught between a rock and a hard place. It was impossible for him to distort the truth with so many people here. He could only give a brief account of what happened from the beginning.

However, he was also avoiding the important parts and focusing on the trivial parts. He only explained that this was a misunderstanding between Shang Yuntao and Lin Feng, and did not mention his own responsibility at all.

“Is that so?”

Lin Feng laughed coldly. His gaze was sharp as a blade as he stared intently at Zhao Dongsheng, before saying, “Zhao Dongsheng, you invited Shang Yuntao to threaten the Lin family with his authority!”

“You turned a blind eye when Shang Yuntao attacked me. Do you know what you are guilty of as a member of the law enforcement team?”

“And Shang Yuntao, you violated the ban and attacked with all your might in the city, causing chaos. According to the regulations, the law enforcement team has the right to arrest you!”

Zhao Dongsheng wanted to defend himself, but under Shen Jianxin’s cold gaze, he did not dare to say anything.

As for Shang Yuntao, his face was also dark. He naturally knew that his actions just now were a huge mistake, but fortunately, he did not cause much damage. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make up for it.

“Lin Feng, you’re not a member of the law enforcement team. What right do you have to arrest me? Going by the regulations, you fought just now too. Shen Jianxin, as the Legate of Central Sea City, you should do your duty. You can arrest me, but shouldn’t Lin Feng be arrested too?” Shang Yuntao sneered.

“Legate, am I qualified to enforce the law?”

Lin Feng’s faint smile confused everyone.

Everyone knew that only the law enforcement team could enforce the law in the city. Lin Feng was not a member of the law enforcement team, so how could he enforce the law? This would put Shen Jianxin in a difficult position. According to the regulations, no matter what the reason was, if the two parties fought in the city, both of them were captured.

As for right and wrong, that was the business of the Martial Artist Court, not the law enforcement team. The law enforcement team only had the right to enforce the law, and did not have the right to judge.

Zhao Dongsheng’s eyes lit up as well. Originally, he was very shocked that Lin Feng could defeat Shang Yuntao. Once Lin Feng dealt with Shang Yuntao, how would he be able to maintain his foothold in Central Sea City?

Hence, he could take this opportunity to get Shen Jianxin to capture Lin Feng as well.

Hence, Zhao Dongsheng hurriedly said, “Lord Legate, Lin Feng and Shang Yuntao fought in the city. No matter who was right or wrong, according to the regulations, they must be arrested first, and then handed over to the Martial Artist Court for trial!”

Shen Jianxin glanced coldly at Zhao Dongsheng, but with the look one would give an idiot. If Zhao Dongsheng knew Lin Feng’s ident.i.ty, would he still be so excited?

Then, Shen Jianxin took a deep breath and said loudly, “Of course Brother Lin has the right to enforce the law!”

“Why aren’t you paying your respects to the new Legate—Brother Lin Feng?”

Shen Jianxin berated the law enforcement team members behind him, but everyone was stunned.

Lin Feng was the new Legate of Central Sea City?

“How is this possible? He’s the new Legate?”

In an instant, Zhao Dongsheng’s face turned pale. He staggered back a step, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been drained. There was a hint of despair in his eyes.
