Chapter 496: Chapter 499 Top Rune Master

Everyone in the inn heard this and looked over.

"Isn’t he the young master who sells Divine Talismans?" someone exclaimed.

"It is indeed him!"

"So what!"

A burly man standing in front of the young boy turned to Yan Rufeng and pointed at the boy, shouting, "Kid, are you sure he came to find you?"

Yan Rufeng nodded.

"Ha!"

The burly man grinned and extended his hand.

"Since this kid came to find you, you should pay up now!"

"Pay up? For what?"

Yan Rufeng frowned and asked, "Excuse me, did this young brother break anything in your shop?"

"That kid did not break anything in my shop," the burly man responded calmly.

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled and walked slowly towards the burly man.

"Since he didn’t break anything in your shop, why should he pay?"

"Why!"

The burly man roared angrily, "You kid, how dare you talk so much nonsense! If you offend our manager, you have to pay up. If you don’t, neither of you will leave here alive today."

"Is that so!"

Yan Rufeng coldly spat out before raising his hand to slap the burly man.

"Smack..."

A loud slap resounded on the burly man’s face.

"You brat, how dare you hit me!"

The burly man covered his face with his hand and shouted fiercely.

"Brothers, grab your weapons and chop up this brat who hit me."

"Shush shush shush..."

Five more burly men suddenly appeared, carrying long knives and rushing towards Yan Rufeng.

"Everyone, stop!"

An explosive shout rang through the inn.

The inn suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Seeing who came in, the burly man stammered, "Manager... Manager... why are you..."

"Smack..."

The newcomer slapped the burly man’s face.

"Apologize to Young Master Yan immediately!"

The burly man was confused by the slap; he did not understand why the inn manager wanted him to apologize to Yan Rufeng.

"Manager, he was the one causing trouble in our inn..."

Before the burly man could finish, the inn manager kicked him to the ground.

"You dog. Didn’t I tell you to apologize to Young Master Yan? Where did you get so much nonsense..."

The manager glared at the burly man before turning to Yan Rufeng with a smiling face and cupped his hands. "Young Master Yan, these men are not well disciplined. Please don’t take offense."

Yan Rufeng steadied himself and looked at the manager with a frown, thinking, "I just arrived here, not many people know me. I’m even more unfamiliar with this inn. Why does he show me such respect..."

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly.

"Manager, this young fellow came to find me, Mr. Yan. It’s one thing that you were difficult with him, but asking me to compensate you is too much."

The manager, with a smiling face, said, "Young Master Yan, you’re right. It’s all my fault for being too lenient with them, causing them to act without rules. But please rest assured, I will punish them severely later."

Yan Rufeng placed his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Manager, how you punish them is your business. However, your men hit my friend just now. What should we do about that?"

"I will compensate you. Will that be acceptable, Young Master Yan?"

The manager was very worried, deeply afraid Yan Rufeng wouldn’t agree.

"No way!" Yan Rufeng replied immediately.

The manager was suddenly stunned, his heart in chaos, thinking, "This is bad. I didn’t expect I’d offend a top-notch rune master. What should I do now..."

In the Divine Realm, the status of rune masters is even higher than that of alchemists. No matter where rune masters go, they are sought after by powerful forces.

The manager remembered seeing Yan Rufeng drawing talismans when he visited the square market late at night to exchange goods, so he recognized Yan Rufeng naturally.

The Divine Talismans drawn by Yan Rufeng not only had great power but could also be used twice. So in the manager’s mind, Yan Rufeng was already considered the top rune master within thousands of miles...

The terrified manager weakly asked, "Young Master Yan, then what do you think should be done to settle this matter?"

Yan Rufeng smiled indifferently and walked to the boy.

"Young brother, which hand did that man use to hit you?"

The boy said timidly, "Young Master Yan, let’s just forget about this!"

Yan Rufeng shook his head and turned to the manager.

"Manager, if you don’t want me to pursue this matter, cut off both of his hands," Yan Rufeng said calmly, pointing at the burly man on the ground.

The manager, sweating profusely, swallowed hard and steeled himself, calling out, "Someone, cut off Chen Ergou’s hands for me!"

"What?"

Chen Ergou was stunned, then shouted half a beat later.

"Manager, I was wrong. Don’t cut off my hands, don’t cut off my hands..."

Chen Ergou’s heart-wrenching cries had no effect. His hands were still forcibly chopped off.

Chen Ergou’s desperate screams gradually weakened until he finally fainted in a pool of blood.

"Drag Chen Ergou away!"

The manager ordered the others.

The boy, having never witnessed such a scene, was already trembling. Seeing this, Yan Rufeng helped him up and slowly walked to a guest room.

After Yan Rufeng left, the manager breathed a sigh of relief. Wiping his cold sweat, he exhaled, "That was close..."

In the inn’s hall, seeing Yan Rufeng’s figure disappear, someone exclaimed, "Didn’t expect Young Master Yan to not only draw Divine Talismans well but also act so decisively. With just one word, that man lost his hands."

"Sigh..."

Someone sighed, "He’s not an ordinary rune master. Rune masters like Young Master Yan need only draw a few powerful Divine Talismans, and a horde of people would serve him willingly!"

"Phew!"

Someone took a cold breath.

"It seems Young Master Yan is not to be trifled with. It’s better to avoid him in the future..."

After a short while, the boy came out of Yan Rufeng’s room. The people gossiping in the hall fell silent the moment they saw Yan Rufeng walking behind him. The entire hall quieted down immediately.

After sending the boy off, Yan Rufeng slowly walked towards the square market.

This time, the boy brought two thousand sheets of talisman paper for Yan Rufeng, hoping to sell more. Yan Rufeng did not disappoint him and bought them all.

When Yan Rufeng arrived at the square market, he casually took out a stack of talisman paper and began drawing.

Drawing talismans requires full concentration, without any distractions. Even Yan Rufeng found it tedious to draw two thousand Divine Talismans in one go. However, for the sake of Divine Stones, he endured the hardship and finished drawing all the talismans.

Seven hours later, as night fell, Yan Rufeng finally completed drawing the two thousand Divine Talismans.

Looking up, Yan Rufeng saw that a long line had already formed in front of him to buy the Divine Talismans.

The sale of Divine Talismans was as popular as ever. It only took thirty minutes to sell all the talismans he had spent seven hours drawing.

The popularity of his Divine Talismans reflected how much people were willing to invest for the upcoming competition in Xuanwu City. Some of those who came to buy Divine Talismans had already purchased some the day before.

After drawing two thousand Divine Talismans, Yan Rufeng was exhausted from the immense consumption of Divine Origin Energy. As soon as he finished selling the talismans, he returned to the inn.

Just as Yan Rufeng reached the inn’s entrance, he suddenly noticed two familiar figures...
