Chapter 9: Brutal (1) (2/2)
Nan Huairen’s face reddened with rage. As a person who truly cared for his sect, he could not stand for this mockery, so he replied: “Brother Du, we want to meet with Sectional Leader Fu of your sect. No matter what happens, we demand an answer from your sect regarding this baseless accusation.”
Du Yuanguang exploded in laughter for a while before he confidently replied: “Meet Sectional Leader Fu? Nan Huairen, it's not that I don’t want to reserve some dignity for you, but you and this trash do not have the qualifications to request a meeting with Sectional Leader Fu. Our sectional leaders are capable of being bestowed the t.i.tle of Named Hero, and it is unknown whether your elders are capable of the same feat. Maybe your elders are qualified to meet with Sectional Leader Fu, but you and this trash? Don’t even think about it.”
After he finished his speech, Du Yuanguang coldly stared at Li Qiye. The other disciples clapped in agreement and started to taunt Li Qiye with nasty words again.
Nan Huairen was shaking from anger, but Li Qiye maintained his composure and carefully retorted: “To me, it doesn't matter if this plan stems from you, the leader, or even your protector. To be frank, it is because you are smitten with your senior; I think her name was Li Shuangyan? Even though I have never seen her before, you are too petty. The engagement of your prime descendant, Li Shuangyan, is merely a one-sided affair. Because I respect your sect’s current status, I would consider having her as a maid.”
“And as for you?” Li Qiye continued: “You are too naive. If your G.o.ddess had such talents, she wouldn't put you in her sight. I already don’t care for her, so why would you try to compete with me for her like a fool? Get out of the way, you should find a place with shade and take a break to cool off your hot head.”
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! If you want to die this badly, I’ll gladly show you to your death!” Du Yuanguang, enraged by those words, summoned his sword as well as his aura.
“Du Yuanguang, if you want to fight, I will not turn a blind eye.” Having witnessed Li Qiye’s bravery, Nan Huairen, who was burning with rage, felt a lot better. However, he knew that Li Qiye had never cultivated before, so he immediately stood guard in front of him.
“Fine, I will take care of you first, then I’ll kill the little b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Fiery anger was being exuded from Du Yuanguang's eyes. To him, Li Shuangyan was an untouchable G.o.ddess, yet Li Qiye dared to insult her.
Li Qiye slowly pushed Nan Huairen back and calmly said: “Huairen, if someone wants to take my life, I’ll be the one to put an end to him. You should stand back and watch.”
“Good! Good! Excellent!” Du Yuanguang was no longer angry and instead burst out into laughter: “This is the funniest thing I have ever heard. A piece of trash like you wants to kill someone who is at the Provisional Palace stage like me? So be it, I will give you a chance to fight!”
Knowing that he was a mortal, everyone knew that Li Qiye could not use any merit laws. The other disciples pitied Li Qiye: “Martial techniques versus merit laws? You don’t even know the basics, yet your arrogance is through the roof. It is such a pity.”
Li Qiye could not be bothered by such comments. He calmly stated: “That is fine, everyone can witness this battle.” With that said, he walked towards the battle stage.
“You can’t!” Nan Huairen was filled with fear. He grabbed Li Qiye and said: “First Brother! This is impossible! Du Yuanguang has reached the pinnacle of the Provisional Palace stage. You cannot be his match.”
“It's fine, he's only at Provisional Palace and not Royal n.o.ble! And even if a Royal n.o.ble of the Nine Saint Demon Gate dares to mess with me, I would mince him into tiny pieces all the same depending on my mood.”
Li Qiye lightly smirked then pushed Nan Huairen away.
Nan Huairen’s head started to hurt. His first thought was that his first brother had gone senile. Li Qiye had only joined the sect for a few days and had yet to begin practicing even the most basic of cultivation techniques. He only had access to the “Invisible Dual Blades” martial technique.
A person who only practiced martial arts could not fight against a cultivator. Comparing martial techniques to merit laws was the same as comparing the heaven and earth. Not to mention, Du Yuanguang was also an expert at the Provisional Palace stage.
Nan Huairen regained his wits and immediately went to find his master, Protector Mo. He knew that if this fight takes place, only death would be the result.
