Chapter 429: Chapter 8: Prison Turmoil [Seeking Monthly Votes!]_1

The jail of the City Warden Office is specifically designed for cultivators, with high walls, thick fortifications, and complex array runes, making escape no easy task.

However, these things...

For Chu Liang at this moment at least, there isn’t a wall that can’t be broken, provided there’s an actual wall here.

Ma Ben might have also realized this. If the prodigy of Shu Mountain wants to escape, it will be hard to keep him confined here.

Usually, the Fourth Realm cultivators and above are restrained by sealing their golden core, stabbing their acupuncture points, and coiling their bodies with talisman iron chains before being locked up in solitary confinement. But Chu Liang is no criminal, he’s just being detained temporarily, and his nominal charge is only affronting the City Warden Office, so naturally, the methods would not be that severe.

The City Warden Office simply tossed him into a cell with a dozen other inmates, all of whom were minor offenders with cultivation levels limited to the first three realms... in fact, most were martial artists from the first two realms. If there was a cultivator in the Divine Consciousness Realm, they would indeed be the cream of the crop here.

Although it was not strictly managed, the environment was dreadfully dirty and disorderly, seemingly intended to disgust Chu Liang.

"Hehe..."

As Chu Liang stepped into this cramped cell, he heard a sinister chuckle.

It turned out that a bald giant man was sitting there, tattooed with dragons and painted with tigers, with a physique as massive as an iron tower. He had several underlings surrounding him, rubbing his shoulders and massaging his back. All of them were watching Chu Liang, issuing inscrutable, strange laughs.

There were no stools in this cell, however. What he was sitting on was, in fact, four convicts kneeling on the ground in a row to create a ’human bench’. His gargantuan figure seemed precarious even with four people bearing him together, who could only grit their teeth and endure the terrible weight, with any slight movement evoking a bout of invectives.

It seemed this bald giant was indeed the prison bully here.

Chu Liang initially had no plans to engage with them and wanted to remain quiet in one corner. But, at this moment, the giant man turned towards him and gestured with his chin: "Kid, you’re quite the looker."

"Thank you," Chu Liang responded, "you’re not bad yourself, you look remarkably human."

"What do you mean?" The bald giant was taken aback.

An underling, skinny as a monkey, explained: "Boss, he means you look quite like a human."

The giant man’s eyes bulged, and with a casual swing of his fist, he sent the skinny monkey flying into the wall, becoming part of the ’wall art’. Enraged, he shouted, "What do you mean I look like a human? Am I not human?"

"That’s not what I said, Boss... he said that..." The skinny monkey slowly slid down from the wall, faintly retorting as he gasped for breath.

"You dare to insult me?" The giant man glared at Chu Liang and snorted, "You must be ignorant of the rules here. Newcomers need to give a big gift."

"Ah..." Chu Liang looked at the giant man, sighed after a while and asked, "What are the rules? Tell me."

He had originally hoped to stay quietly without causing any trouble.

"Either kneel down and act as a stool for three days, or take three punches from our boss. Choose." One of the underlings sneered.

It seemed they had also been through the same ordeal when they were new, so they took particular pleasure in torturing others now.

Hearing that, Chu Liang raised his eyebrow and smiled, "Is there even a need to choose?"

"Looks like you’re a smart one, hehe." The underling kicked some straw on the ground, apparently preparing to make room for Chu Liang.

However, Chu Liang said as he took a few steps forward, "Go ahead, punch me."

"Huh?" The criminals in the cell were visibly surprised upon hearing this.

"Haha, it seems you’ve never been hit before." The giant man stood up all of a sudden, his voice thundering, "It’s been a while since I’ve had a workout."

As he rose, the four human stools underneath him breathed sighs of relief. A rather weak middle-aged man on the outer edge, with a little leftover energy, raised his head to warn, "Young man, he’s not just an ordinary martial artist. He has a natural strength that could kill a demon beast of a higher realm with just one punch. Don’t try to show off..."

Seeing his sincere look, it was clear he must have taken a punch before.

After hearing this, Chu Liang’s smile deepened and said, "Is that so? I’d really like to see that."

"What a fool who knows not the immensity of heaven and earth." The giant man was seemingly provoked by the mocking look on Chu Liang’s face. He took two heavy steps forward and threw a punch, creating a deafening wind.

This was him using only a small fraction of his power because he was afraid to seriously injure Chu Liang.

Bang—

As the punch landed, the underlings watched eagerly for the spectacle of flesh and blood.

But their expressions were suddenly frozen.

Not only them, but the two men involved seemed to be frozen as well.

The giant man’s punch hit Chu Liang’s chest, but rather than being wounded, Chu Liang didn’t so much as move or even blink. The smile still lingered at the corner of his eyes and brows as if nothing had happened.

As for the giant man...

"Hiss..." The next moment, he drew a deep breath, stepped back two paces and retracted his hand with a slight tremble.

The punch he landed on Chu Liang gave him the feeling of a great force suddenly rebounding, causing his right arm to ache terribly. For a moment, he found it difficult to lift again.

There was something strange about this kid...

Before he could comprehend, Chu Liang replied, "Brother, you look pretty fierce, but you know how to pull a punch when hitting someone. You merely tapped me."

The other inmates who had been quietly observing also started to join in the commotion.

"Boss, don’t hold back! Beat him like you did us, make him unable to get up for three to five days!"

"Unleash all your power and beat him to a pulp!"

"..."

Hearing these cheers from behind, the bald giant man gritted his teeth in secret. The force he used to punch others was the same as he used to punch Chu Liang, but while it was enough to beat others half to death, it seemed utterly ineffective against him.

It seemed he couldn’t hold back anymore, otherwise his prestige in this prison would be lost.

With this thought in mind, his eyes revealed a touch of ferocity.

Even if I have to kill you, I will do it... you brought it on yourself...

"Kid, life and death are up to fate." He twisted his arm, and said gloomily to Chu Liang: "Don’t blame me if you end up dead."

Saying that, he took his stance and made a powerful step, then twisted his waist and curled his fist!

Boom——

The might of this punch was indeed extraordinary, creating a gust like thunder and lightning!

Bang——

In the midst of a loud explosion, the sound of cracking bones could be heard.

The scene was the same as before, with both men standing as if nothing had happened.

But someone behind them exclaimed, "Great! I heard the boss break his bones!"

"Hmph, let’s see if he dares to be arrogant again."

"..."

However, after a few cheers, the crowd realized something was wrong.

Why was Chu Liang still standing there with a smile in his eyes, while the boss’s silhouette was beginning to shiver?

"Eh." The next moment, they saw the bald giant stagger backward a few steps. His right arm hanging limp, he let out a cry of pain, "Ah... my arm..."

It turned out that when he threw that punch, he used all his strength, and it had no effect on Chu Liang, but his own right arm was shattered by the counterforce! And it wasn’t a simple fracture, it shattered into pieces!

Thump!

He fell heavily to the ground and started to scream, "Ah——"

Only then did Chu Liang step forward, looking down at him: "Can’t handle it?"

"I failed to recognize Mount Tai in my ignorance, and offended Young Hero..." the bald giant man actually started begging for mercy, "Please forgive me, Young Hero."

"Don’t give me that useless talk. There’s still one punch left. Get over here and let’s get it over with." Chu Liang shook his head: "And you better not hold back."

"No more fighting, no more fighting, I dare not offend you again." The bald giant man was sweating profusely in pain, and suddenly became much more polite.

At this point, the thugs behind him finally understood.

It turned out that this young man’s cultivation level was extraordinary. Even if they attacked him, the counterforce would make the giant man like this.

After a moment of silence, someone approached, laughed and said, "I told you this Young Hero looked extraordinary, not like an ordinary person. As soon as he makes a move, the result is exceptional."

"Indeed, indeed, he must have come from some Immortal Sect, right? Otherwise, how could his cultivation be so exceptional."

"..."

Chu Liang ignored the flattering noise around him and said to the giant man, "You owe me one punch, so you will stay there as a bench for the day, as per your rules."

"Yes, yes, yes..." His arm was still in severe pain, but he also dared not disobey Chu Liang’s words. He faced the wall and lay down, promising not to move.

Indeed, what goes around comes around.

"You guys can get up now, from now on, except for him, the rest of you don’t have to do this." Chu Liang called the four men on the side who were lying on the ground.

"Thank you, Young Hero..."

In the midst of the grateful voices, the weak middle-aged man who had given Chu Liang a tip earlier climbed up.

He was wearing brocade clothes, had a slim face, slight white facial hair, and looked quite scholarly. He seemed to have been imprisoned only recently and was very different from the other people in the prison.

"Thank you for saving me, Young Hero." The middle-aged man approached, smiled and said, "May I know your distinguished name and from where did you receive your training?"

Chu Liang glanced at him. With so many people around, he didn’t want to reveal his real identity.

Since the last time he encountered enemies after revealing his master’s name, he had been careful when outside. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not willingly reveal his lineage.

After considering for a moment, he replied one word at a time: "Wing Chun, Ye Wen."
