Seeing the gesture Xiang Xue made, Qu Jianlei frowned: Damn, is this not over yet?

I haven’t even found trouble with you guys, and you’re already coming to me?

He instinctively wanted to call out to the Paranoid: Wake up, time to work!

But then he thought that bothering others over such small matters didn’t seem to make much sense.

I can handle this myself! Qu Jianlei got up and walked towards the courtyard gate, "Bentley, call that guy, get ready to go."

Bentley was still in the stage of consolidating his Realm, but he no longer needed to stay in the Qi Gathering Array every day.

To properly control one’s aura, one needs to practice more in daily life.

It’s just that his Electromagnetic Attribute is a bit inconvenient; generally, it wouldn’t be his job to handle receptions.

So, his task is to notify the Paranoid promptly if any trouble is detected.

Qu Jianlei walked to the courtyard gate, raised his hand to open the door, and his gaze fell on four men and two women.

Behind the six people, there were also seven or eight City Guards.

Qu Jianlei ignored the City Guards and instead stared at the six people, directly unleashing Supreme Suppression, then speaking out to question.

"Who just made a move?"

Among the six was indeed one Supreme with Water Attribute, who knew things weren’t right the moment they released the suppression.

Before they came, they knew there was a Supreme in the Niaoming Stream manor, which is why they sent a Supreme.

If the levels don’t match, even the Divine Text Association might not be able to hold the situation; a Supreme truly has the authority to flip the table.

But the Supreme that came didn’t actually expect the other side to just release the suppression without a word.

There’s a reason for this within.

Simply put, whether a Supreme is present and whether a Supreme releases suppression are two different concepts.

With a Supreme in presence, ordinary people may not be able to detect them if they don’t wish to interfere; quietly leaving is no problem.

But releasing suppression changes the nature of the situation, at least it’s announcing to those present: I’m here!

Faced with the Supreme’s unease, he immediately stepped forward, speaking solemnly, "Golf from the Divine Text Association, greetings to this friend."

Qu Jianlei glanced at him indifferently, asking emotionlessly, "Was it you who made the move?"

Golf shook his head, "No, this matter..."

"Get lost!" Qu Jianlei interrupted him directly, "I’m asking now, who made the move to attack?"

"You!" Golf’s face turned a bit grim; he was known for being unfazed by anger or joy.

Qu Jianlei ignored him completely, releasing slight Perception, instantly locking onto someone.

It was a Female Awakened, with Fire Attribute B-level, and her emotions clearly fluctuating abnormally.

He looked at her expressionlessly, slowly speaking, "Was it you?"

"Enough!" Golf snorted coldly without showing emotion, "Didn’t you hear where we are from?"

"What kind of thing are you!" Qu Jianlei flashed forward and appeared before him, raising a hand to deliver a slap.

Golf was a Supreme with Wood Attribute, quite agile; he dodged the attack with a sway of his body.

For a moment, his rage erupted, "You’ve got guts, dare you...!"

Qu Jianlei’s slap was just a feint; then he shifted to appear before the B-level Female with Fire Attribute.

His hand moved like lightning, no one seeing its trajectory, only blood droplets exploding mid-air.

The next moment, the woman screamed heart-wrenchingly, "Ah, my arm~~~~"

Blood spurted from her left shoulder, torn irregularly, leaving the entire left arm empty.

This didn’t mean it was completely empty; there were still white tendons swinging in the air.

Yet in the next instant, the white tendons were stained red with blood.

He had pulled her left arm off.

By this time, Qu Jianlei had returned to the doorway, still holding the woman’s left arm.

With a thought, a layer of Earth Element wrapped around the severed limb, turning it gray-white in the next moment.

He had used Petrification Technique, directly petrifying the flesh.

In the shocked silence of those present, he snorted coldly, "Used this hand to hit, right?"

Claire’s face was swollen on the right, meaning she was slapped with a left hand.

Qu Jianlei could discern through Perception that this woman’s left arm was stronger and more agile, meaning she was left-handed.

He waved his hand, tossing away the petrified left arm, and frowned distastefully, as if discarding garbage.

Then he frowned again, speaking indifferently, "Mind your manners, here’s a small lesson."

In fact, this lesson wasn’t small at all; her left arm had been brutally pulled off by him, the pain far exceeding that of cut by a blade.

Moreover, the severed limb had been petrified by him.

Pulled-off limbs are hard to reattach, and now being petrified, the only choice was Limb Regeneration.

Even with this procedure, the jagged wound needs to be trimmed before Limb Regeneration treatment can commence.

You will suffer double the punishment, not to mention...a mere B-level, can really afford limb regeneration treatment?

Qu Jianlei’s series of actions were as fast as lightning, too quick for anyone to react.

Golf managed to dodge accordingly, but rescuing his companions was beyond his ability. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Mainly because he had up to five companions, it was impossible to take care of all of them.

Moreover, on Celestial Handle Star, Supremes must not act rashly unless in a desolate and uninhabited place.

Niaoming Stream estate is not in a bustling urban area, but it’s quite prosperous, not at all akin to the wilderness, making it a good spot for an outing.

In fact, Qu Jianlei did not use his Supreme cultivation level; it was just his dexterous Body Technique and great strength.

Golf was somewhat stunned; he did not expect things to escalate to this extent so suddenly.

As a Supreme, he came here with a certain communication approach in mind.

But what can he say? He wasn’t fully prepared for such a sudden encounter with combat.

He could dodge the opponent’s sudden slap, which was not surprising because it was an instinctive combat reflex.

However, to really engage in battle, one needs at least a warm-up, even if not some psychological preparation, right?

Supremes are human too; they cannot remain tense from morning till night, ready to fight at any moment; no one can be on full combat alert all day long.

The opponent’s move did catch him off guard, and by the time he reacted, the damage had already been done to his side.

Hearing his companions’ heart-wrenching shouts, Golf didn’t get angry, at least not visibly so.

In fact, the Divine Text Association values honor, but a mere B-level Awakened is not enough to inflame a Supreme’s wrath.

However, it did feel somewhat like a slap in the face.

Seeing the opponent discard the severed arm, Golf spoke with a blank expression, "Is this a provocation towards the Divine Text Association?"

Qu Jianlei sneered nonchalantly, "Hmph, do you think you represent the Divine Text Association? Look at your ego."

He didn’t wait for a response and looked towards the B-level woman, speaking coldly.

"Dare to act wild at the door of a Supreme, next time no one will save you."

Such a statement does hold some truth, but Golf coldly retorted, "Don’t you want to know what your people did?"

"No need to ask," Qu Jianlei answered crisply, knowing Claire’s behavior was somewhat outrageous and her temper not great.

But so what? "No one begged you to come here; dare touch someone from my estate... think I don’t exist?"

His words were somewhat overbearing, yet he clung to the point: by doing this, they were provoking him at his doorstep.

"Hm," Golf snorted dissatisfied, "A Modified Warrior disrespecting a B-level Awakened, how should that be handled?"

Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow, so you want to reason with me? "Then let me ask you, did you know there was a Supreme at Niaoming Stream before coming here?"

Golf kept a stern face, not answering—if there wasn’t a Supreme, why would he even come?

"Got nothing to say?" Qu Jianlei spoke with a blank expression, "I’m curious, who gave you the courage to attack my people?"

"Do you think I’m easy to bully, or are you deliberately trying to humiliate me?"

What he said wasn’t wrong; the Divine Text Association’s people targeting Claire indeed had the intention to intimidate.

Before coming, they had noted that the Rhodiola rosea residing here seemed hard to deal with.

But would they, from the Divine Text Association, fear a Supreme who even hides his whereabouts?

Since the communication process might be tough, they didn’t mind showcasing some of the Divine Text Association’s strength first.

Including the woman targeting Claire, the cause was her arrogance, thinking the opposite party unworthy of conversation.

But was Claire going to accept that? Hence she was slapped by the other party.

Golf understood his people’s thoughts clearly, but didn’t expect Rhodiola rosea’s temper to be even more volatile than rumors suggested.

Because a mere Modified Warrior would act openly, tearing off an arm of a B-level Warrior from the Divine Text Association.

The wrath of a Supreme should not be this cheap!

For instance, Golf’s wrath would not be so cheap.

He didn’t continue harping on about the previous incident but switched the topic directly, "Confirming, are you Rhodiola rosea?"

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes sarcastically, "Who I am has nothing to do with you, just say what you want!"

Golf, usually composed, couldn’t help but frown, responding unsatisfactorily.

"Doesn’t seem like the Divine Text Association means anything to you?"

"Aren’t you annoying?" Qu Jianlei frowned impatiently, "Can’t you talk without bringing up the Divine Text Association?"

Whether I care about the Divine Text Association, at least you keep mentioning it.

When Golf heard this, his face felt somewhat hot; is this mocking me for only daring to invoke the Divine Text Association’s name?

He knew in his heart that if he wasn’t relying on the Divine Text Association’s reputation, he would indeed have some headache dealing with the other party.

Within the Divine Text Association, Supremes’ combat power is not weak, but knowing the opponent can kill a Supreme one-on-one!

However, because it was spot on, he became increasingly annoyed.

"I came to notify you on behalf of the Divine Text Association; let me ask again, are you Rhodiola rosea?"
