Chapter 407
Powerful to the End
Qin Chao’s natural talents were extremely high, and within this younger generation, he could be considered one of the top figures. If he hadn’t become addicted to women and not put in enough hard work in his cultivation, his strength would have been far greater than it was now.
In fact, none of Immortal Mountain’s descendants were ordinary, not to mention his extraordinary background. He was the great-great-grandson of a great figure and was believed to have a noble bloodline. His potential was extremely great.
In order to increase his knowledge and experience, as well as to pursue Princess Qianqian, he crossed regions to come here. From what he knew, this was a barbaric ancient region that lacked elegance and talent. He looked down on this region from the bottom of his heart.
Who would have thought that after berating the natives of this region and ordering them to scream from Princess Qianqian’s side, he would receive a vicious beating and suffer great humiliation?
Qin Chao came from the Immortal Mountain. Normally, wherever he went, the genius disciples of great sects would befriend him and take the initiative to chat with him. They definitely wouldn’t offend him, but in the wasteland region he looked down on, there was actually someone who humiliated him like that.
Slapping him in the face was something his parents and elders had never done even in the Immortal Mountain. In the past few days, he thought he was going to explode from anger. He was constantly seeking revenge.
However, when he hurried over with people last time, that youth had already left, leaving him furious and having nowhere to vent his anger. Now that he saw Shi Hao again, he clenched his teeth, and his eyes were so cold they were about to freeze.
“Are you going to run again?” Qin Chao said coldly. With the experts of his clan here, he naturally didn’t need to worry. He was confident that once the Immortal Mountain’s people appeared, no one dared to go against them. Even the Heaven Mending Sect and Western Sect would feel intimidated and wouldn’t clash with them.
The place was completely silent. Many cultivators were watching, and even the creatures outside this region didn’t say anything. No one dared to provoke the Immortal Mountain. This clan didn’t have many people, but they could contend against the Sky Severing Sect and Western Sect. Moreover, they were the most protective of their youngsters. Who dared to make them their enemies?
A few people were worried for Shi Hao, feeling sorry for him. He was an extremely stunning youth with a promising future. If he died in the hands of Immortal Mountain’s people, then that would be too regretful.
Shi Hao gave Qin Chao a cold look, his eyes full of contempt. He didn’t pay Qin Chao any attention after that and couldn’t be bothered to talk to the latter.
His attitude was very clear, and everyone saw it. Everyone’s minds were shaken. Shi Hao had disregarded the young master of the Immortal Mountain. Was it his silent contempt and provocation toward this clan?
From a certain perspective, the Immortal Mountain was even more terrifying than the Heaven Mending Sect. The latter had many disciples, and they were all over the various regions, so it was impossible for the sect to look after every member. Meanwhile, the former only resided within a holy mountain. Their numbers were few and precious. If their disciples were humiliated, they would take revenge.
Qin Chao’s expression immediately darkened, and he felt humiliated. What kind of attitude was that? Shi Hao ignored him in front of so many people. It was like a slap in the face.
Shi Hao didn’t pay him any attention, but that didn’t mean that the big red bird on his shoulder would behave itself. It gave the purple-haired youth a sidelong glance and said, “Last time, you were slapped in the face, yet you still have the nerve to say that we ran away? Who was the one that ran away dejectedly? Do you want to get slapped again?”
The big red bird knew how to make the most hurtful insult, making many people laugh inwardly.
Quite a few people couldn’t stand Qin Chao, but they didn’t dare say anything. Now that someone dared to slap him and ridicule him in front of everyone, all of the experts felt as if they had eaten ginseng fruits. It felt so great.
“Fine!” Qin Chao said coldly. His face was burning hot. Being humiliated in front of so many people, he wanted to immediately skin Shi Hao and the big red bird alive.
“Of course, we’re fine, especially when we see the fellow who was beaten up is eager to get beaten up again. It makes me feel more and more comfortable,” said the big red bird.
Everyone’s hearts jumped. This was a public declaration of war, and a great battle was unavoidable. The bird dared to ridicule the Immortal Mountain’s young master like this. The latter would never let it drop.
Huo Ling’er came. When she saw Shi Hao, she was overjoyed. However, when she thought of the enemies he had to face, she immediately became worried. When facing an ancient sect like the Immortal Mountain, even the entire Fire Nation felt an incomparable pressure.
At that moment, the Nine-Headed Lion walked over in a dignified manner. It stared at those people, wishing to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with Shi Hao.
Princess Qianqian was known as one of the ten beauties of the Mysterious Region. She looked at Shi Hao in astonishment. The one she encountered last time was indeed Shi Hao. She never expected that he wouldn’t run far away, and today, he once again clashed with Qin Chao.
“Elder Shoucheng, suppress them!” Qin Chao’s face was ashen because he saw the splendor in Princess Qianqian’s eyes. She was looking at Shi Hao and not him. While feeling humiliated, he also had an anger that was difficult to describe.
“Little friend, you are being so overbearing. Aren’t you going too far?” Immortal Mountain’s elder Qin Shoucheng said.
Shi Hao felt a wave of killing intent again. He already knew that there was something wrong here. He might be related to the Immortal Mountain by blood, but Qin Shoucheng still wanted to kill him. There was something strange going on.
“May I ask when I crossed the line? Your clan’s youngster doesn’t know what he’s doing and is insulting me. I didn’t bicker with him. Why are you accusing me now?” Shi Hao said calmly.
Everyone here was a witness. The Immortal Mountain’s Qin Chao was overbearing, so Shi Hao only looked down on him, not paying him any attention.
“If that bird wasn’t incited by you, how could it speak so arrogantly?” Qin Shoucheng said with a calm expression.
“How did you know that I was the one who incited the bird?” Shi Hao was as fierce as a divine sword when revealing his power. He asked coldly, and a wave of killing intent pervaded the air.
This was an attack aimed at intimidating the Immortal Mountain. Everyone was shocked. This youth was as powerful as he was said to be!
“Old thing, don’t take advantage of your seniority. You have no sense of shame!” The big red bird shouted.
“Young man, are you insisting on making my clan your enemy?” Qin Shoucheng’s face fell.
“Don’t test my patience!” Shi Hao said, his tone carrying great discontent.
At this moment, everyone could see what it meant to be a powerful individual. This was an undisguised threat to the Immortal Mountain. Shi Hao had nothing to fear.
“Has he become a king and reached the Formation Arrangement Realm?!” In the beginning, everyone always suspected that he relied on his physical “domain” to fight, but now, they were completely shocked.
If he advanced to the Formation Arrangement Realm, just how shocking would that be? A fifteen-year-old king. Just the thought alone was enough to make one tremble and go crazy. So few people in history could have this type of accomplishment at this age!
He was a genius who continuously created miracles!
Many people were excited, especially those from the wasteland region. If they waited until Shi Hao grew up, just how astonishing would his ultimate accomplishments be?
“Elder Shoucheng, what else are you waiting for? Kill him!” Qin Chao said coldly. He knew that this elder had a great killing weapon on him that could definitely kill Shi Hao.
“You are so annoying!” Shi Hao took action, turning into a streak of faint golden light. Then, a palm smashed outward. No one could stop him.
That was Kun Peng’s movement technique, which was fast to the extreme. Even the middle-aged man with the broken arm and Qin Shoucheng could only stare helplessly, unable to stop it.
With a smack, half of Qin Chao’s face was shattered, and he flew outward. Blood streaked across the sky like a waterfall.
Everyone was completely stunned. He was the descendant that a great figure liked! If that person found out, there would definitely be a great disaster. There was no way of settling things peacefully!
Even if Qin Chao was only a direct descendant of the Immortal Mountain, this ancient inheritance couldn’t tolerate anyone targeting their clan’s disciple like this.
Things weren’t over yet. The moment Qin Chao was sent flying, Shi Hao walked through the void and stepped on Qin Chao. There was a crack sound as Shi Hao destroyed Qin Chao’s meridians, crippling him.
“If I leave you with your cultivation, who knows how many people will suffer? After being bullied and humiliated by you, I’ll cripple you today! However, on account of our uncertain relationship, I’ll spare your life!” Shi Hao said.
No one knew what kind of relationship he was talking about. Qin Shoucheng’s eyebrows jumped, and he felt extremely uneasy.
However, soon afterward, Qin Shoucheng was full of killing intent. Someone dared to go against the Immortal Mountain like this and crippled a core disciple. That was a serious provocation!
Qin Chao fell into the courtyard, rolling on the ground. He knew that he was crippled, and his cultivation was completely gone. His bloodline immediately dried up quite a bit, and his face was full of horror.
Everyone was shocked by Shi Hao’s power and domineeringness!
“He doesn’t fear the Immortal Mountain! Is he trying to defy the heavens?”
“What a great wasteland region’s supreme youth. His courage is difficult for ordinary people to reach.”
Even the creatures from outside this region were alarmed. Many experts were asking themselves if they dared provoke the Immortal Mountain. They clearly didn’t dare. Meanwhile, Shi Hao was only a teenager, yet he was so bold.
The happiest person was naturally Princess Qianqian. She had always been pestered by Qin Chao and was extremely annoyed. However, she had no way of getting rid of him, and now, she finally felt at ease.
However, she felt pity for Shi Hao. Crippling Qin Chao like this wouldn’t be good news for Shi Hao. She was well aware of that great figure’s methods.
“You…” The middle-aged man with the broken arm was furious. He pointed with his finger and shouted, “You’ve destroyed my clan’s direct descendant! Are you going to make Immortal Mountain your enemy?”
Shi Hao was extremely calm as he said, “I’ve even killed Heaven Mending Sect’s supreme expert, let alone an idiot from the Immortal Mountain. So what if I kill him?!”
His domineering demeanor made quite a few youngsters excited.
The middle-aged man from the Immortal Mountain was speechless. He had also heard rumors that Shi Hao killed Grandma Xihua in the Void God Realm. How bold!
Everyone was startled. Shi Hao indeed had the qualifications to act so domineeringly. Back then, he dared to challenge the Heaven Mending Sect. The Immortal Mountain was an inheritance of the same level, so why wouldn’t he dare?
Outside the arena, Fairy Yue Chan seemed uneasy. Apart from the Immortal Mountain, the one who was the most depressed right now was naturally her. For no reason, her past scars were unearthed.
Qin Shoucheng’s face was as dark as water. “You might have some relationship with my clan. Today, I don’t want to go too far either. If you apologize and admit your guilt, then surrender and follow me back to the Immortal Mountain. I can consider dealing with you lightly.”
“Are you daydreaming? If you dare speak rudely again, you won’t even be able to protect yourself!” Shi Hao sneered. Ever since he was little, when had he ever bowed to anyone? He had killed the Heaven Mending Sect’s people, so what if he made an enemy with the Immortal Mountain?!
If the Immortal Mountain’s people really were related to him by blood, he wanted to see how this clan would treat him.
