Chapter 1597: Storm (1/2)
Li Qiye stared at Lin Hao while standing above the twelve scales and said: “What, can’t accept defeat gracefully?”
“It’s absolutely impossible!” Lin Hao turned red but he still stubbornly said: “Everyone knows that the scales are affected by the grand dao so no one can reach the top. Something is amiss here, he must have cheated. Either that or the scales aren’t working!”
As someone who has been a fan of his Eldest Brother since youth, he couldn’t accept Li Qiye destroying the shadow or reaching the top since even an eonic genius like Gu Zun couldn’t do so.
Because of this, he wanted to nitpick or even question the validity of Li Qiye’s achievement.
Many looked at him without speaking. Some found displeasure in his choice of words but they chose against speaking up since he was from Soaring Immortal.
Yulian didn’t like this statement either and gave him a cold stare. His questioning the twelve scales was the same as questioning her Yu Clan.
Ever since Immortal Emperor Yin Tian’s generation, so many people have climbed the scales without issues. It can be said that the scale was a different symbol for their clan so his skepticism was an attack on their integrity. Thus, even Yulian who had a crush on Aotian became dissatisfied with Lin Hao.
Li Qiye replied flatly: “Someone who can’t bear losing and having to resort to accusations like you should die.”
“You!” Lin Hao immediately retorted: “Li Qiye, are you trying to silence me?! Maybe you are afraid of others finding out your trickery so you want to kill me to avoid questioning! Even if you can kill me, can you also kill everyone here?! What about everyone else in the world?! You can’t shut all of us up regardless of how many you kill!”
Lin Hao wanted to besmirch Li Qiye at this moment while dragging everyone else into the fray, onto the side of opposing Li Qiye.
The youths here stared at Lin Hao; some even moved away from him. Even a fool could see his intention.
Normally, anyone else would try to support him in order to curry favor with Soaring Immortal. But now, they weren’t going to joke around when facing Fiercest, a ma.s.s murderer. If Lin Hao were to really drag them into this mess, Fiercest would kill them without hesitation. They didn’t want to be buried alongside Lin Hao.
“Just a clown thinking that he’s something, deserving of punishment.” Li Qiye glanced emotionlessly at the guy and casually slapped.
“Boom!” Lin Hao couldn’t even dodge in time or block it. He was blown flying with blood and teeth falling out.
He fell on the ground but his words were still strong: “Li Qiye, even if you kill me, the rest of the world will still know the truth. Do it! Soaring Immortal disciples have never been afraid of death!”
“Just a worm, you think I care what others say about me?” Li Qiye replied: “If you wish to die, so be it.”
With that, he pointed his finger at the youth. It was the most casual of strikes but Lin Hao couldn’t dodge at all. The gap between the two was too immense so Lin Hao closed his eyes, awaiting death.
“Show mercy!” A shout came about at this key juncture. A loud banging noise came next with a breaking sound. Debris went flying everywhere.
A huge s.h.i.+eld flew forward to stop Li Qiye’s finger strike. It was still destroyed completely with pieces scattering everywhere. Nevertheless, Lin Hao was able to survive the ordeal.
A strapping old man landed down in front of Lin Hao. More s.h.i.+elds emerged around him while he held a saber, ready to fight without the slightest sign of carelessness.
“Master!” Lin Hao shouted happily and crawled up.
“Don’t worry, our wars.h.i.+ps are coming right away.” The old man nodded but his eyes remained fixated on Li Qiye. He was consoling his disciple while telling everyone here at the same time, especially Li Qiye.
