Chapter 603 (2/2)

Qing Shui carefully observed the men riding on the falcons. He was able to see a young man pointing in their direction to one of the elderly men while seemingly saying about something important. That young man was one of the stooges who had taken a severely wounded Wang Ruiyuan away from the scene.

Now he has come to direct the elderly men to look for Qing Shui and the others!

Smack!

After the young man was done pointing them out, the elderly man slapped him aggressively on the head and that young man tumbled off from the falcon!

Most importantly, the young man’s head was cracked open in mid-air, causing his blood to spill everywhere!

The women below screamed in terror, but soon after that, they stopped screaming by shutting their mouths tightly.

The three Snow Monarch Falcons descended slowly to the ground. The men jumped down from the falcons and walked towards Qing Shui in an orderly fashion!

“Chen…. Dear, take them to the back.” Qing Shui almost forgot about pretending to be a couple with Di Chen. He hesitated for a while before addressing her in a more intimate way. Qing Shui felt unnatural calling her like that, so he did not dare to look at her face-to-face.

Di Chen maintained her composure despite being addressed in an intimate manner by Qing Shui. However, she looked at Qing Shui strangely before she retreated with Lan Tong and the others.

The elderly man who seemed like the leader of the group wore a full green robe from head to toe. It was the purest green Qing Shui had ever seen, but the contrast between his white beard and his robe felt a bit odd. The old man had hollow cheeks and a pair of bright eyes like an eagle’s sharp eyes. His lips were pursed together tightly, which gave one the impression that he was an aggressive person.

The old men behind him came in various sizes. Some were tall, some were short, some were fat, and some were in different sizes of skinny. Despite the differences in size and shape, their lineup was oddly harmonious when they stood together. Around this time, they were less than a hundred meters away from Qing Shui.

“Who are you?” The elderly man had a loud voice that sounded dignified.

“And who are you?” Qing Shui snorted as he looked at the elderly man.

“I am Wang Shunchang of the Wang Clan, and who exactly are you? Why are you picking on our Wang Clan?” The elderly man stared at Qing Shui intensely. He had been staring at Qing Shui ever since he laid eyes on him.

“I am Qing Shui. Why am I making picking on the Wang Clan? You should know the answer to that. You should be clear about the kind of people the Wang Clan are by now.” Qing Shui maintained the smile on his face. He was completely unaffected by the old man’s threatening tone.

Wang Shunchang’s intimidation did not affect Qing Shui in the slightest. When he realized that, he also found that he wasn’t able to sense Qing Shui’s strength either. Because of that, Wang Shunchang was careful not to act rashly.

The elderly man had seen all kinds of things and had been through all sorts of turbulence. He could tell by Qing Shui’s attitude that he didn’t fear them.

Moreover, his name was Qing Shui? Wang Shunchang had never heard of his name before, much less his surname in the Jade Sea Country. With that, he figured that Qing Shui must have come from somewhere else. But what caught him off-guard was that he couldn’t sense Qing Shui’s strength despite his young age.

“Mr. Qing must not be from Jade Sea Country, I presume?” Wang Shunchang began to wind down his threatening attitude and asked Qing Shui for clarifications. According to Wang Shunchang, Qing Shui seemed like an ordinary young man. But if he was from a well-established clan or sect, Wang Shunchang could inadvertently bring destruction to himself and his clan as well.

“No.” Qing Shui knew what this elderly man was trying to do – he was trying to find out more about him. However, Qing Shui wasn’t concerned about that because there was no need to be overcautious in the Central Continent.

“If you are not from the Jade Sea Country, then why did you come here to cause trouble for the Wang Clan? Perhaps you came here to bully my clan because you think that we are nobodies? Is it because we are nobodies in the Jade Sea Country?”

Qing Shui nearly choked when he heard what the elderly man was saying. He had the nerve to play the victim role in this situation while trying to be the bigger person in this conversation. He was trying to twist the truth and make Qing Shui out as the public’s biggest enemy.

“Haha, you are wrong. It is not I who had picked on Wang Clan, it is your Wang Clan who had dug its own grave. I am sure that you are well aware of your grandchildren’s behavior. So don’t bring Jade Sea Country into this, because the Wang Clan is unworthy to stay here. Your clan’s existence is a shame to the entire Jade Sea Country.” Qing Shui observed the surrounding people and knew most of them were locals of the Jade Sea Country. He wasn’t dumb enough to allow Wang Clan to continue playing the victim card.

“You, you….. I see. Then don’t blame me by saying that we are bullying the weak for nothing. Even though Wang Clan is not a big clan, we do not fear anyone who tries to sabotage us.” The elderly man locked his eyes with Qing Shui as he steadily made his first step on the ground.

“I suggest you think thrice about it. Once the battle is initiated, I will not hold back. You said it yourself that Wang Clan is not a big clan, and you are right about that. A big clan cannot afford to house a useless corrupted descendant like your grandson. Can the Wang Clan afford that? As the elder of the Wang Clan, not only have you remained impenitent and never learn your lessons, you still have the nerve to make excuses. The Wang Clan would perish by itself even without the self-immolation of your third generation.” said Qing Shui in a calm manner while he stood there motionless.

Wang Shunchang was about to wage a war against this man named Qing Shui. He knew that Qing Shui was saying the truth, but he couldn’t care less about that. Wang Shunchang was more concerned about Qing Shui’s power as well as his backings.

“How about I challenge you to a duel of life and death? I am not sure if you will dare accept my challenge. You had taken away my son’s hand, so it is fair that I am waging a war against you.” Just when Wang Shunchang was being indecisive, a middle-aged man stood out and challenged Qing Shui.

Qing Shui observed this seemingly ordinary man. The hair around his temples had grown white. His eyes were energetic, which made his unappealing appearance seemed more tolerable. The middle-aged man was calm as he stood in front of Qing Shui with full composure.

“It seems this is all Wang Clan can offer – being timid. Don’t you think this method is childish? Wang Shunchang, I have overestimated you. What a waste for you to live up to this point.” said Qing Shui apathetically. He disliked people who wanted the best of both worlds, yet had no strength to follow up their convictions.

These kinds of greedy people would never bear responsibilities or be firm with their standpoint. They would never be open-minded enough to accept other people’s criticisms as well. Moreover, these people would never be suitable for friends of any kind. Qing Shui shook his head in disappointment. He had overestimated the Wang Clan and it was a mistake to do so.

No one could endure being ridiculed by Qing Shui to that extent, not even Wang Shunchang. The Wang Clan has never been ridiculed before, so why should Wang Shunchang allow such a man like Qing Shui to disrespectfully taunt a Martial Saint like him?

“You are courting death. Don’t blame the Wang Clan for being intolerant towards a person like you.” Wang Shunchang would always put himself on a high pedestal even in a situation like this. It might be a natural instinct to do so, or perhaps it was just a cautious gesture of an old man.

His voice fell low as he warned Qing Shui. Wang Shunchang took another step, and then rushed abruptly towards Qing Shui. He wasn’t particularly fast, but every step he took was filled with an enormous amount of energy. The trail behind him was a bunch of indented footprints on the ground. He had made grooves with each footstep while rushing towards Qing Shui in a stomp-like motion.

Qing Shui smiled at Wang Shunchang who was inching closer to him!

Emperor’s Qi!

No matter how confident he was, he reminded himself that he should not hold back his powers, so he threw out his Emperor’s Qi for insurance.

Nature Energy!

State of Immovable as Mountains!

………

Wang Shunchang went pale when he realized his strength had been reduced by the strength of 120 countries by the Emperor’s Qi. However, he gritted his teeth through the remaining strength of 480 countries as he increased his speed by multiple folds. He swiftly aimed his hand at Qing Shui’s head with the intention of breaking his skull apart.
