Chapter 1895: Chapter 1898: Manager Wu
The female disciple spoke while leading Chu Fengmian to the second floor of the Moon Sea Commerce.
Calling it the second floor is merely a title.
Inside the Moon Sea Commerce, it appeared far more vast than it did from the outside, holding a separate dimension within.
For a strong practitioner at the Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm, creating a space was no challenging task.
Their figures moved along a grand road within this space.
Surrounding this spatial avenue were rooms developed using Space Power, each sealed by layers of forbidden arrays.
Even the Spiritual Sense of a Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm martial artist couldn’t penetrate into the happenings inside these rooms from the outside.
However, for Chu Fengmian, these forbidden array formations were hardly worth mentioning.
Chu Fengmian quietly released his Spiritual Sense, capturing all the activities within the surrounding rooms.
Every room held some powerhouses of the Sea Realm engaged in transactions with the Moon Sea Commerce.
There were Spirit Stones, Spiritual Artifacts, Sacred Pills, All Heavens Strange Objects, and even some involving murder or capturing live people for trade.
In the Moon Sea Commerce, as long as one was willing to spend enough money, they could hire its experts to kill, or even capture live humans as slaves.
"Senior, bearing a heaven-shocking Sword Intent, might I inquire which powerful figure of the Sea Sword Sect you are?"
The female disciple, leading Chu Fengmian, suddenly turned her head and inquired of him.
Chu Fengmian was constantly emitting a subtle Sword Intent.
The Sea Sword Sect revered the sword above all, and Hai Shisi was known for his exceedingly arrogant character. Chu Fengmian emitting an intense Sword Intent was indistinguishable from the real Hai Shisi.
If Hai Shisi were a disciple of the North Sea Hall, Chu Fengmian might struggle to impersonate him, not having mastered the martial techniques and cultivation techniques of the Sea Clan. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
But in terms of Sword Dao, Chu Fengmian’s prowess far surpassed Hai Shisi; having acquired Hai Shisi’s memories, he fully comprehended the swordsmanship of the Sea Sword Sect.
With Chu Fengmian’s aptitude, his comprehension suffices to fathom the First Swordsmanship of the First Sword Emperor, mastering the Sea Sword Sect’s swordsmanship within mere breaths.
Now, when Chu Fengmian employs sword techniques, the manifestation of Sea Sword Sect’s swordsmanship by him is even more profound than that of the real Hai Shisi.
In terms of swordsmanship, Chu Fengmian’s impersonation of Hai Shisi is seamless.
"You are unworthy of knowing my identity."
Chu Fengmian coldly snorted in reply, a surge of Sword Intent descending as he spoke.
The female disciple, being merely a martial artist at the Life and Death Realm, could not endure even a hint of the Sword Intent emanated by Chu Fengmian.
"I apologize for my mistake, Senior. Please forgive me."
The female disciple hurriedly apologized, initially attempting to ascertain Chu Fengmian’s identity for some advantage.
Yet now, she had paid a hefty price.
"Since you are a disciple of the Moon Sea Commerce, I will spare you this time. If there’s a next time, no one can save you."
Chu Fengmian coldly declared, dispersing his Sword Intent.
With the Sword Intent dispersed, the female disciple finally breathed a sigh of relief, yet glanced at Chu Fengmian now with immense fear, no longer daring to probe his identity.
The female disciple obediently led the way ahead, walking for what seemed an eternity until they reached a chamber.
Inside this chamber, an elder awaited, and upon bringing Chu Fengmian to him, the female disciple hurriedly left.
"I am a manager at the Moon Sea Commerce, surname Wu. May I know what you wish to trade today, sir?"
Manager Wu sized up Chu Fengmian as he seated himself, speaking first.
"Manager? My business is beyond a mere manager’s handling. I suggest you summon your shopkeeper; I don’t have time for futile talks here."
Chu Fengmian cast a glance at Manager Wu, responding with a cold laugh.
"Hmm?"
Manager Wu’s eyes glinted with anger upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words; the Moon Sea Commerce was among the larger merchants in South Sea City.
Typically, martial artists and demon gods trading at Moon Sea Commerce treated its personnel with great respect, yet here was Chu Fengmian—a rarity who carried such audacity.
Particularly, Wu being a manager at Moon Sea Commerce held significant status, and it’s rare for anyone to disregard him like this.
"Our shopkeeper is not currently in the commerce."
Manager Wu glanced at Chu Fengmian, his voice chilling with impatience.
"Whatever business you have, tell me. Otherwise, if not intending to trade, please leave."
"Oh? A mere manager at Moon Sea Commerce does not know his place, daring to be impudent before me?"
Chu Fengmian chuckled upon hearing Manager Wu’s words.
"Sir, this is not a place you can act recklessly!"
Manager Wu’s tone grew firm in response to Chu Fengmian’s provocation.
"Is that so? Little manager of the Moon Sea Commerce, daring to confront me, you must have a death wish!"
Chu Fengmian slapped the table, sending a heaven-shocking Sword Intent straight at Manager Wu.
The heaven-shocking Sword Intent’s edge was as lethal as an actual Sword Edge, capable of killing.
"You dare to strike?"
Manager Wu was unwilling to back down, himself a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, suddenly mobilizing Spiritual Power for battle.
But at that moment, Chu Fengmian swiftly waved his hand, generating a finger strike that transformed into a sharp Sword Light, aimed straight at Manager Wu.
Boom!
The Sword Light shattered Manager Wu’s Spiritual Power mercilessly.
Though Hai Shisi also stood at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor Realm, as a core disciple of the Sea Sword Sect, his true power equated to that of ordinary Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm experts.
Even as Chu Fengmian impersonated Hai Shisi, unable to use his true strength, utilizing Hai Shisi’s power alone was enough to easily deal with Manager Wu.
Bang!
Manager Wu was forced back by the Sword Light, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.
Immediately, another Sword Light shot forth, intent on slaying Manager Wu—a decisive killing strike.
With Hai Shisi’s arrogant nature, once he attacked, he had no thought of mercy.
If he did hold back now, he wouldn’t be Hai Shisi.
Yet just as the Sword Light was about to reach Manager Wu.
Suddenly, a figure descended, wielding a Trident, clashing with the lethal Sword strike to obstruct it.
