Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Teaching How to Be a Decent Person
“`
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
In the blink of an eye, three Black Death Nails shot towards Wang Chen.
The poisoned tips aimed at his forehead, throat, and heart, embodying the sinister essentials of speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness of hidden weapons!
Moreover, these Black Death Nails staggered in their timing, a method filled with treachery.
The assailant, a Loose Cultivator, was undoubtedly a master in this regard.
They had calculated everything perfectly.
Wang Chen, quick to react, dodged in time, naturally clearing the way and no longer posing as an obstacle to escape.
If he didn’t have the skills, then death would serve him right!
However, the Loose Cultivator never imagined that Wang Chen would neither dodge nor stand frozen awaiting death; instead, he swung his fist toward the incoming Black Death Nails!
What kind of greenhorn was this?
The Loose Cultivator, despite being agitated, almost laughed at the sight.
Countering Black Death Nails with fists.

How was that different from an egg striking a rock!
A mere Qi Cultivation level five little cultivator, could he possibly have cultivated a Vajra Invulnerability physique?
Boom!
Accompanied by a dull thud, the three Black Death Nails struck an invisible copper wall and iron barrier, not only failing to harm Wang Chen by any measure but also flying back at an even faster speed toward their origin.
All three struck the body of the Loose Cultivator!
Pff! Pff! Pff!
The three Black Death Nails instantly created three bloody holes.
The Loose Cultivator, who had been sprinting forward, shuddered, his face turning deathly pale as his eyes filled with an indescribable complexity.
Pain, despair, disbelief…
Carried by inertia, he continued forward a few steps, then plunged headfirst into the ground.

“Eh?”
Wang Chen had just retracted his fist when four disciples of Sunset Peak caught up to him.
They stopped abruptly, their expressions filled with incredulity as they looked at the corpse on the ground.
And Wang Chen, standing in their way.
One of them frowned and said in a deep voice, “Junior Brother, this one’s ours!”
The merit attribution of this Cleansing Realm Operation by the Cloud Sun sect was based on the count of heads.
Although it was Wang Chen who had intercepted the Loose Cultivator.
They were the main pursuit force after all.
After spending so much time and effort painstakingly.
Let alone conceding the credit, they were unwilling to even give Wang Chen a share of the merit!
Wang Chen clasped his fists and stepped aside, showing that he had no intention of claiming the spoils of the battle.
The other’s expression immediately eased, and he said with a smile, “Junior Brother…”
Since Wang Chen was so understanding, they were still amiable and harmonious fellow disciples.
“Cough! Cough!”
Just then, one of them suddenly coughed forcefully twice and said, “Junior Brother Wang, the Magic Artifact in his hand, you picked it up, didn’t you? Please give it back to us!”
The other three were taken aback and turned in unison to look at their companion.
Wang Chen had picked up a Magic Artifact?
When did that happen? No one saw anything!
Moreover, given the brief confrontation just moments ago, if Wang Chen really did such a thing, it would have been impossible to escape their notice.
Wang Chen stepped back and shook his head, saying, “Elder Brother Du, don’t wrong me.”
The one accusing Wang Chen of picking up the Magic Artifact was none other than Du Yuankui, the very person who had previously been instructed to monitor Zhao Huaian.
Sunset Peak’s lead disciple, a sycophant and lapdog of the former top True Disciple, Lu Hong!
“Wrong you?”
Advancing a step, Du Yuankui sneered, “I clearly saw you pick it up. You say I’m wronging you, so hand over your Storage Bag for us to check.”
“If I’m mistaken, then I will apologize to you!”
By now, the other three had caught on.
Rather than mediate, they showed knowing smiles.
“`
Du Yuankui is a character everyone knows very well.
If Wang Chen were a tough nut to crack with an untouchable background, Du Yuankui wouldn’t dare inspect his Storage Bag, let alone negotiate a share of the credit.
Since Du Yuankui is so unscrupulous, it means he’s easy to bully.
The three Sunset Peak disciples immediately and tacitly spread out, forming a semi-encirclement.
The man from before said, “Since Junior Brother Du has said this, please trouble yourself to hand over the Storage Bag for inspection, lest it harm the harmony among our fellow disciples.”
His eyes gleamed with a hint of mockery, “If you refuse, it must mean your heart harbors an Evil Wraith!”
The others nodded in agreement, “Exactly.”
If Wang Chen really obediently handed over the Storage Bag, they could say whatever they wanted, ensuring no “unjust accusations.”
Wang Chen was silent for a moment before saying, “Honored senior brothers, are you not afraid of the sect rules?”
“Sect rules?”
Du Yuankui laughed heartily, “Junior Brother Wang, it’s you who stole our things. Even if we take this matter before the Elders, you’re the one who’s in the wrong. What issues could we possibly have?”
When Du Yuankui first laid eyes on Wang Chen, a surge of malicious anger suddenly bloomed in his heart.
Ever since Zhao Huaian defeated Lu Hong on the Lecture Platform with a single sword strike, taking the title of the leading True Disciple, Lu Hong’s influence and popularity on Sunset Peak had plummeted.
Many disciples who usually gathered around Lu Hong had dispersed.
Du Yuankui, being too closely tied to Lu Hong, could not extricate himself and was caught in the backlash, mocked and ridiculed by those he had previous altercations with, leading to quite an uncomfortable life.
And Wang Chen, he happened to remind Du Yuankui of the main culprit behind it all.
Zhao Huaian!
Feeling extremely uncomfortable, he wanted to take out his frustration on Wang Chen.
It just so happened that Wang Chen was the one he ran into!
Seeing that the situation was not going to end well, Wang Chen raised his hand and asked, “What if I refuse to hand it over?”
“Refuse?”
Du Yuankui sneered, “Then us senior brothers will naturally have to teach you a lesson…”
Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
Despite the distance, the fierce Qi Energy felt like needles piercing Du Yuankui’s skin, causing him to instinctively shut his mouth.
The Sunset Peak disciple was horrified, a great fear spontaneously arising in his heart.
This couldn’t possibly be real, could it?
But there, at the left rear of Du Yuankui, one disciple shockingly bore a hole the thickness of two fingers at the center of his forehead.
Red and white fluids mixed together, gushing out from the hole.
The one who had made a move was Wang Chen!
He had already been very forbearing just now.
Never had he imagined that his own retreat would become the reason for the other party’s unbridled bullying.
The other party’s actions had crossed Wang Chen’s bottom line.
And there was no room for reconciliation.
Given the circumstances, Wang Chen had no other choice!
[Heavenly Merit +8]
In a sudden outburst of aggression, a Grandmaster-level Geng Metal Finger instantly put an end to the highest Cultivation Level among the four.
The other three, believing they had Wang Chen cornered, could never have dreamed that he would dare to attack.
Caught completely off guard, they failed to react properly in time.
The next moment, several scorching Meteor Fireballs whooshed towards them.
Engulfing all three!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by screams of agony, the three Sunset Peak disciples who couldn’t dodge in time were blasted away.
One of them was hit so terribly by a Meteor Fireball that he was scarcely left breathing more than he was gasping.
Du Yuankui and another were lucky to escape.
As the fireballs hit them, their Body Protection Magic Artifacts automatically activated.
Each blocked a calamity.
But at that moment, they were chilled to the bone, fleeing towards the depths of the forest in panic!
