Tyrannical Words . . .
Qin Wentian himself also had an expression of interest on his face as he stared at the immortal king who spoke. One couldn't help but to admit that people would always have a natural advantage if they were born beautiful. In addition, Xu Qingyao wasn't simply beautiful. She, who was now at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm, clearly also had outstanding talent. Other than this, her background was extraordinary. For a woman like this, she naturally would have many suitors wanting to please her, just like the immortal king who was telling Qin Wentian to smack his own face now.
"There's no need for you to interfere in my matters. Leave this place." Xu Qingyao reminded.
"Fairy Qingyao, you should know of my feelings towards you. How can I allow some others to humiliate you like this? This person's mouth is so filthy, clearly trying to take verbal liberties with you. If he doesn't slap his own face, I shall kill him." That immortal king arrogantly spoke, his eyes filled with an unmasked admiration when he stared at Xu Qingyao. Xu Qingyao's expression turned cold but she couldn't be bothered to care about this anymore. "Since this is the case, just do whatever you want."
"Mhm." That person smiled and nodded at Xu Qingyao. After that, he turned to Qin Wentian, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear my words? Why are you not smacking your own face?"
As the sound of his voice faded, a dazzling light erupted from Qin Wentian's eyes, shooting out like lightning. Instantly, the sky changed color. Inside the vision of that immortal king, he only saw a pair of eyes gleaming with sharpness. Resplendent swords suddenly slashed out towards him, radiating so much sword qi that a sword river was formed, unexcelled in the world.
"Impudent!" That immortal king roared loudly, unleashing his own law energy. Punching out with his fist, currents of energy flowed about, wanting to destroy everything. However, he only saw that surging sword qi river vanishing the next instant, as though it had never appeared before. His expression froze as a look of bewilderment appeared on his face. In the next instant, he saw a beam of sword light falling from the sky. When he stared at his surroundings, he wasn't in the City of Ancient Emperors at all. He couldn't help but to snort coldly, "Using minor tricks like illusion techniques. Do you think you can cheat me?"
As he spoke, he stopped attacking recklessly and became more cautious, using his law energy to protect his body. When the sword qi river appeared again, it gushed towards him with ferocious might. His protection barrier instantly broke as fresh blood splattered through the air. Another beam of sword light directly slashed into his body as he saw his body being split apart.
"IMPOSSIBLE, THIS IS FALSE. AN ILLUSION, ITS AN ILLUSION!" That immortal king screamed uncontrollably. The sky returned to normal, Qin Wentian was still standing where he was, merely looking at his opponent. It was an illusion indeed…but at the next instant, another scream of misery rang out. That immortal king's eyes widened in disbelief, his body had truly been split into two, as he died with regrets.
Silence…this entire space turned silent. Numerous gazes turned to him. From the start until the end, Qin Wentian didn't even move a single step. He merely glanced at his opponent and that peak-stage immortal king started screaming, dying a few moments after that.
"The rumors are true. This Saber-Sword Immortal King is really terrifying." For those who were in the City of Ancient Emperors thirty years ago, all of them had heard of the Saber-Sword Immortal King's deeds. Even so, but when they witnessed his combat prowess, their hearts couldn't help but to tremble.
"The City of Ancient Emperors, the approaching grand era." In the silent space, a voice suddenly rang out, causing many people to sigh. That's true. In this grand era, although this man had no emperor's fate, one truly couldn't underestimate anyone here in the City of Ancient Emperors. When everyone was looking down with disdain on him, he killed a peak-stage immortal king with nothing but a single glance. How terrifying was this?
Emperor's fate once again appeared behind Qin Wentian, growing unceasingly stronger, beginning to glow with radiance. In an instant, the amount of his emperor's fate surpassed many people here.
"Is this the him thirty years later?" Xu Qingyao sighed in her heart. Initially, she thought that after she broke through to the peak-stage of the immortal king realm, the distance of her combat prowess when compared to this man, would lessen. However, from the looks of things now, he was still far beyond her. If it was she who fought with him instead, she too, might not be able to endure a single strike.
"What cultivation are you at now?" Xu Qingyao asked.
Qin Wentian smiled, staring at Xu Qingyao. "Why? Is Fairy Qingyao willing to spend another seven days and nights flirting with me? If you are, this seat naturally would be willing to chat more in-depth about my cultivation base with you."
"This bastard…" Xu Qingyao bit her lips. Back then, Qin Wentian took her away for seven days and nights, but he didn't touch her inappropriately in the slightest at all. At that time, she already knew Qin Wentian wasn't a lecherous fellow and was merely teasing her to punish her. But even so, did he really find it so fun to say such things in public?
"You came here after thirty years, you should have broken through to the peak-stage, right? If not, that person is still in the City of Ancient Emperors and he is stronger than before. It would be tough for you to survive if he wants to hunt you down. You should be very clear about this point as well." Xu Qingyao probed. Although she guessed that Qin Wentian had broken through to the peak-stage, she still wanted to hear a clear answer from him.
"Hard for me to survive here?" Qin Wentian mumbled. He naturally knew who 'that person' Xu Qingyao was referring to, was. "Since you are so curious, I can tell you that my cultivation base now is the same level as you."
"As expected." Xu Qingyao felt shock in her heart. Back then, this Saber-Sword Immortal King could already defeat almost anyone when he was at the mid-stage, including Huang Jiutian. Now, he who has already entered the peak-stage, how strong was he exactly?
However, could the him now be able to defeat that person?
Xu Qingyao then continued, "In these thirty years, there were huge changes in the City of Ancient Emperors. Good fortune can be found everywhere, and there were also the appearances of many other dao elements. The strength of everyone here is all rising rapidly. Even if you have broken through, the others would not stagnate. If you fight him again, you might still not be his opponent. I sincerely advise you to leave the City of Ancient Emperors."
"Fairy Qingyao, are you worried for this seat?" Qin Wentian smiled. Just like in the past, when he was in the City of Ancient Emperors, he was the Saber-Sword Immortal King, he wasn't Qin Wentian.
"I'm worried about you?" Xu Qingyao rolled her eyes. "I'm only reminding you out of good will. I'm afraid that you would be overconfident once more, thinking you are able to defeat the Yama King just because you've broken through. You might have improved, but others are also improving. Don't flee away pitifully again if you encounter him."
"Is that so?" An expression of interest appeared on Qin Wentian's face. His eyes flashed with the light of truth, able to see through all lies and illusions. Although Xu Qingyao's words weren't pretty to hear, she had no malicious intentions towards him. If not, he wouldn't be jesting around with her like this.
"Help this seat to spread this message. Get the Yama King to scram out of his hole and come see me. He is to kneel before this seat and apologize or I shall cripple his cultivation." Qin Wentian inclined his head, speaking as he stared at the crowd.
With just a single sentence, the hearts of everyone pounded rapidly, feeling like they must have heard something wrong. However, given the power of their hearing, how could they hear things wrongly? This man wanted the Yama King to look for him and telling the Yama King to kneel and apologize?
"Has he gone mad?"
Their hearts trembled, staring with disbelief at Qin Wentian. Right now in the City of Ancient Emperors, who didn't know of the Yama King's name? In the City of Ancient Emperors, the Yama King was one of those who others must never antagonize regardless of the cost.
Xu Qingyao froze, she stared at Qin Wentian unblinkingly. Was he planning to use the words the Yama King once said, and return them back to him?
She frowned, "You are merely emotional now, you best think through things carefully. Upon reaching our current level in cultivation, why is there a need to carelessly disregard your life for the sake of a few words? Is that really worth it?"
Qin Wentian stared at Xu Qingyao in a somewhat bewildered manner. An expression of interest flashed in his eyes, causing Xu Qingyao to glare harshly at him.
"After our romantic time together back then, could it be that Fairy Qingyao has fallen for this seat?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Fallen for you?" Xu Qingyao had a face filled with black lines. She glared at Qin Wentian and replied, "In that case, you can go and die then."
Qin Wentian laughed, he wasn't really bothered about Xu Qingyao's curse. He glanced at the surrounding experts, "Everyone, feel free to spread what this seat has said about the Yama King around. Tell him to scram out of wherever he is in and come to kneel before this seat and apologize."
Xu Qingyao bit her lips and stared at Qin Wentian, thinking that this fellow must have gone crazy. The experts in the surroundings were in an uproar as well. Those who haven't heard of the Saber-Sword Immortal King before, all wondered who he was. If these words were to spread to the Yama King's ears, this man would die for sure.
At this moment, that fox maiden who had been calmly sitting on the mountain peak opened her eyes, as a resplendent light flashed within. Her gaze slowly turned to Qin Wentian. She naturally recognized him. Back then when the Saber-Sword Immortal King fought against the Yama King, she was spectating by the side.
Right now, this Saber-Sword Immortal King has returned and even said such words in such a tyrannical manner, directly provoking the Yama King.
She didn't say anything in response to that. Her beautiful eyes then slowly closed again.
Qin Wentian also glanced over there. He initially thought that the greater demons from the Desolate Mountains were all cruel and brutal fellows. He had never expected there to be such a beautiful demonic maiden. Despite being a demon, she radiated a pure and holy feeling, like a goddess.
The words spoken by the Saber-Sword Immortal King soon created a huge wave of commotion in the City of Ancient Emperors. Some people laughed after hearing that, ridiculing the Saber-Sword Immortal King for being a fool. There had been many cases of such in the City of Ancient Emperors – randomly speaking tyrannical words, wanting to challenge those experts at the peak, aspiring to defeat them and gain more emperor's fate. All of these people have already paid the price for their foolish actions.
However, there were those who knew of the battle thirty years before among the crowd. These people were all extremely excited as they sped towards Qin Wentian's direction. After thirty years, would the Saber-Sword Immortal King be a match for the Yama King?
Very swiftly, news traveled to the experts from the Violet Sect, to the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, to the Skymist Immortal Empire, to the Paragon Sword Sect, and the Taihua Immortal Dynasty. All of their immortal kings in the city learned of it. In an instant, these experts all shot towards the location the Saber-Sword Immortal King was in!
