Chapter 480 – Sword Techniques Originate from the Mouth (IV) (2/2)
The expert with his sinister expression stared at Chu Wenbin whose skin was as white as a girl's and revealed an indescribably cold and gloomy smile. ”As it turns out, there really are people who aren't afraid of death.”
Chu Wenbin was scared out of his wits by this smile. Turning to Tang Thirty-Six, he declared, ”Senior Brother, he scares me.”
Tang Thirty-Six perked his brows and then looked at that expert. ”I say, if you're going to fight, just fight. Just what nonsense are you babbling?”
The expert's smile faded away and he replied with a threatening chill, ”Does the Orthodox Academy not even dare to listen to a few words of truth?”
Tang Thirty-Six replied, ”If you have the capability, then today you can just beat him to death for me to see.”
Chu Wenbin was stupefied at these words. Senior Brother, these words of yours were said in a very cool fashion and with an extremely imposing manner, but…this life is mine!
The expert sneered, ”And if I were to beat him to death, what then?”
Tang Thirty-Six pursed his lips.
Just like Chen Changsheng in Clear Lake Restaurant, he could also sense this person's…killing intent.
”The rules of the All-School Martial Exhibition have no line saying it was allowed to beat someone to death.”
He emotionlessly gazed at the expert and said, ”If you wish to break the rules, I naturally have my ways of playing that aren't according to the rules.”
The expert began to laugh. Paired with his pale face and gloomy expression, his smile seemed particularly terrifying. ”As my clan's young lord just said a few days ago, blades and swords have no eyes.”
Hearing this, the crowd realized that this person was actually a subordinate of Bie Tianxin or a servant of his family.
He was only a subordinate or even a servant, but to be able to follow Bie Tianxin across the world and ease the minds of those two Storms of the Eight Directions…this person was necessarily incredibly powerful and frightening.
”Blades and swords have no eyes, but it's not like you're blind.”
Tang Thirty-Six stared at him and said, ”If it's improper, I will naturally yell to stop.”
The servant from the Bie clan smirked, ”For what reason should I stop if the young master of the Tang clan yells to stop? In addition, these students of the Orthodox Academy are too weak. If I fight normally, it wouldn't be out of the question for me to accidentally kill him through a momentary slip of the hand.”
”A slip of the hand?” Tang Thirty-Six's brows leapt upwards like swords about to fly from their sheaths.
The servant seemed to very carefully explain, ”A slip of the hand means that I can't stop myself in time.”
”What you said is correct. The new students of our Orthodox Academy really are comparatively weak. Compared to them, you lot are absolutely experts. When the strong are bullying the weak, for someone to still be unable to stop…”
Tang Thirty-Six calmly gazed at him. ”Then perhaps it might be better if I have your entire family stop.”
The Bie family servant's expression seemed to show a hint of fear. ”Sir should know very well that I am a person of the Bie family.”
”Of course I know that you're a servant of the Bie family, Ye Xingqing.”
Tang Thirty-Six stared at him and said, ”But your own family resides in Shannan County, wielding the power of the Bie family to oppress the people of the countryside, committing every sort of crime and occupying vast tracts of good farmland. I even hear that your son is serving as a county magistrate?”
These words caused this servant of the Bie clan called Ye Xingqing to suddenly shift expressions. He sternly yelled, ”Just what do you mean with these words?”
”My meaning is, I know who you are.”
Tang Thirty-Six ceased to look at him, instead turning to the back of the crowd at that group of experts that had come to challenge the Orthodox Academy on the Tianhai clan's orders. ”All of you, I know who each one of you is. So, if you need to fight, then fight, but if any one of you tries to make a big scene, says any more things like 'I couldn't stop myself in time', then I might as well have all of your families stop.”
Then he turned back to Ye Xingqing and asked, ”Now do you understand?”
There were many things in this world that could be stopped, like swords, or words, and also future prospects, and even life.
As he spoke, he gave off none of his usual arrogance and pomposity.
It was precisely because of this that everyone on the scene knew that he spoke the truth, not merely some malicious words.
Yes, even the Orthodox Academy could do nothing to the Bie family. After all, behind it stood two Storms of the Eight Directions.
However, Ye Xingqing was just a servant of the Bie family. He had his own family and his own family members. Thus, before he threatened the Orthodox Academy, he should have first clearly comprehended the fact that the Orthodox Academy could very easily threaten him.
After Tang Thirty-Six very clearly said these words, Ye Xingqing clearly understood. As a result, his complexion became abnormally unsightly.
”Senior Brother, you truly are extraordinary.”
Chu Wenbin's timidity gradually retreated as he looked happily at Tang Thirty-Six.
In normal circumstances, Tang Thirty-Six would definitely have been very happy to be praised in such a manner, but he was not now. He knew that this matter would not be ended here. The most important thing was that he had once, right before the gates of the Orthodox Academy, announced to the entire capital that he would definitely not let these matches affect the new students. Consequently, he didn't want to take any risks.
The arrangements he and Chen Changsheng had made last night had temporarily come to a close.
Although it was a little inconsistent with the original plan, he still decided to personally go out.
It was at this point that a person walked out from the crowd. That person walked up to the gate of the Orthodox Academy and said, ”Let me handle this one.”
It was a young student, gentle and quiet, with a noble air about him. He gave off a proper and solemn sort of feeling.
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and asked, ”How could you have gotten so tanned?”
The young student glanced at him and replied leisurely, ”You know, the pavilions of those last few monoliths are a little small and can't block out the sun.”
