Chapter 2159: Soaring Phoenix General (1/2)

Chen Shuwei failed to save Peng Weijin but his attack was still coming. Li Qiye casually flipped his palm as if he was swatting a fly and successfully repelled the attack.

“Thump! Thump! Thump!” The casual swatting made Shuwei staggered several steps backward while gasping for air. His energy was churning uncontrollably. There was no doubt that he had lost this first exchange.

“Bam!” Weijin’s lifeless body dropped to the ground with his eyes wide open in astonishment. He didn’t expect to die when his biggest backing was next to him. It was certainly an indignant and unwilling death!

Shuwei’s expression became even uglier. First, killing Weijin in front of him was another showing of disrespect, a declaration of war! At the same time, he knew that he had met a master.

Nevertheless, he remained undaunted. He was strong enough to have the position of Grand Tutor and his clan has never been afraid of anyone inside Insane Court.

The atmosphere became tense as everyone stood up to watch this scene.

Weijin’s death was not a small deal. Even though the Peng was not comparable to the Chen, but it was still mighty enough. More importantly, Weijin was still Shuwei’s Little Brother of sorts. Killing the guy in front of Shuwei was a clear slap to the face to both Shuwei and the Chen!

All eyes were on Li Qiye. This guy was not only arrogant but also had the strength to back it up. However, no one in Insane Court could treat the Chen and Upper Faction in this manner!

“This brat could survive today but not this year.” An elder murmured.

Everyone understood that Upper Faction would kill him eventually. The Peng would not let this go, same with the Chen. His death was only a matter of time.

“Brother Li, you have crossed the line. Insane Court is a place with laws, wanton murders are not allowed!” Shuwei said with a cold expression.

Silver Fox sneered after seeing this - this Shuwei guy probably was hoping for Weijin’s death the entire time in order to have an excuse to capture Li Qiye.

“I am the law.” Li Qiye said then finished his entire cup of wine in one gulp.

The crowd was astounded, same with Zhijie. This arrogant comment had crossed all lines.

What was the ruling authority in Insane Court? It was certainly the dao system and its ancestral teachings! Even an emperor wouldn’t dare to call themselves the law.

A comment like this showed utter contempt for the ancestral teachings and the dao system itself!

The truth was that from the bottom of the heart, it wasn’t really a big deal. Some people were above the laws in each generation, but stating it publicly was a different issue. It was a ma.s.sive showing of disrespect; everyone else would band together to take down someone who had said this.

“Such a big tone.” Shuwei smiled. The more arrogant Li Qiye was, the more excuses he had to punish him. The moral high ground was on his side right now.

“You dare to revolt against the system?” He continued: “I don’t care where you are from but I and Upper Faction will not allow for someone like you to exist!”

“Stop blabbering.” Li Qiye waved his sleeve: “Upper Faction? Provoke me and I’ll kill you all. Scram now.”

The crowd was shocked. This guy was insane with this bold declaration.
