Free Web NovelChapter 1967: Chapter 1966: Kneeling and Kowtowing
"Even if we fight to the death! We still won’t kneel! Master, just give the order! As long as you say the word, we’ll charge up and hack this little bastard to pieces!"
Seeing hesitation flash across Ju Tianbao’s face, the crowd from the Jubao Building all spoke up in a hurry.
"All of you, shut up!" Ju Tianbao roared.
The aura of a Unification Peak expert crashed down on them, pinning them in place. His eyes spat fire. Meeting Ju Tianbao’s vicious gaze, the people of the Jubao Building all instantly quieted down, not daring to act presumptuously anymore, much less open their mouths to talk about killing this one or that one.
"All of you together! All of you, kneel!!!" Ju Tianbao bellowed again.
After he finished, his sinister gaze swept back and forth over these Cultivators. Meeting Ju Tianbao’s ferocious eyes, even though every single one of the Jubao Building Cultivators hated Zhang Xiaohao so much they wanted to swallow him alive, under Ju Tianbao’s overwhelming might, one after another they still had no choice but to kneel in humiliation.
Bang bang bang!!!
Over a thousand people, one after another, dropped to their knees in succession. Eyes bloodshot, they glared at Zhang Xiaohao, their vicious gazes wishing they could carve him into a thousand pieces. They might not have said a word, but the expressions on their faces silently said it all.
"You little bastard! Happy now?" Ju Tianbao said coldly.
His words carried a strong, bone-deep hatred.
"Hmph! Didn’t you hear what I said? I want all of you on your knees! That includes you. Are you deaf? Didn’t hear me? Or is it that you’re just an Old Dog who doesn’t understand human speech? Need me to find a dog to come talk to you instead?" Zhang Xiaohao said icily.
When dealing with enemies, he had always pressed them to the ground and stomped them hard, trampling them to death if he could, never giving the other side even the slightest chance to turn the tables.
"How dare you!!" Ju Tianbao roared.
"Since that’s how it is, then they can all go die!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes went cold as murderous intent shot skyward.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohao was about to start a massacre, Ju Tianbao instantly wilted. These people were the elite of the Jubao Building. As long as some of them survived, the Jubao Building would still have a chance to rise from the ashes! Besides, there were still over twenty days before the great war with the Divine Clan. With so much time, as long as he was willing to pay the price, he could still invite some powerhouses to fight for his side!
Thinking of this, Ju Tianbao shot Zhang Xiaohao a vicious glare, then his two knees, as if filled with lead, slowly bent and sank toward the floor.
Thud!!!
Both knees hit the ground, crushing the marble beneath them and sending up a spray of dust.
"Happy now?" Ju Tianbao said coldly.
"Not enough. What I want is you all kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging me for mercy! Not just kneeling there like this. Since you’ve chosen to be dogs, then you should have the awareness of being dogs!!!" Zhang Xiaohao said frostily.
"You bastard!!!" Ju Tianbao cursed in fury.
His eyes burned with fire, and he wanted nothing more than to tear Zhang Xiaohao to pieces and cut him down on the spot.
But when you’re under someone’s roof, you have no choice but to bow your head. Just like Zhang Xiaohao had said earlier—since you’ve chosen to be a dog, then you should have the awareness of being a dog! It was just that kowtowing to admit his wrongs like this made Ju Tianbao feel unbearably unwilling.
What’s more, there were still tens of thousands of Cultivators around them watching the show. Once this was over, he, Ju Tianbao, and the Jubao Building’s reputation would definitely spread far and wide, becoming a joke in everyone’s eyes. By then, the name of Ju Tianbao and the Jubao Building would be utterly ruined.
"Kowtow!!!" Seeing him hesitate and refuse to kowtow, Zhang Xiaohao suddenly growled without any warning.
His essence, energy, and spirit condensed into a massive pressure that crushed down toward Ju Tianbao and the group from the Jubao Building.
"Kowtow!!!" As Zhang Xiaohao’s shout fell, Qingyi Hong and the people of the Qingyi Building also roared again, one after another. The momentum of over a thousand people condensed into a vast pressure that surged down on the people of the Jubao Building.
Those watching the show weren’t afraid of things getting out of hand. Besides, the talent Zhang Xiaohao had displayed was simply too monstrous, already at the level of a heaven’s chosen. Once a figure like this grew up, he would be someone who shook the ages, a name written in the annals of the Spirit Realm, shining for eternity. It’s easy to add flowers to brocade, but hard to send charcoal in the snow. These Cultivators watching the show all let out a shout in unison.
"Kowtow! Kowtow! Kowtow..."
The terrifying roar surged higher and higher like crashing waves, crazily bearing down on the forces of the Jubao Building.
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out. Under the pressure of tens of thousands of auras, one Disciple whose mental fortitude was a bit weaker was the first to kowtow. That clear knock of his head on the ground was so ear-piercing and conspicuous.
With that first kowtow, some people who were still wavering in their hearts, influenced by him and crushed by the overwhelming pressure around them, suddenly felt the scale in their hearts tip toward the side of kowtowing.
Bang bang bang!!!
Kowtow after kowtow sounded out, exceptionally conspicuous amid the crowd of the Jubao Building.
Led by that small group, the overwhelming majority hesitated for a moment, then, forcing down their humiliation, still respectfully began kowtowing to Zhang Xiaohao.
In an instant, crisp kowtow sounds rang out one after another. Over a thousand people kowtowed in unison—the sight was shocking, slamming into everyone’s hearts.
Seeing this scene, Ju Tianbao’s face looked extremely ugly. Even though he had just said with his own mouth that he wanted all of them to kneel and kowtow, once this scene actually unfolded before his eyes, it felt like an invisible giant hand was viciously slapping his face over and over, beating him till he couldn’t take it.
"Old Dog! Kowtow to your lord!!!" All of a sudden, Qingyi Hong roared.
"Old Dog! Kowtow to your lord!!!" As soon as Qingyi Hong’s shout fell, the Cultivators of the Qingyi Building, along with the Cultivators watching the drama all around them, roared in unison without even thinking.
A terrifying pressure, like a tidal wave, surged in from all directions and crushed down on Ju Tianbao.
Ju Tianbao’s fists were clenched so tight his knuckles whitened. In his heart, killing intent soared as he thought furiously, You little bastard, and you Qingyi Building lot! Just you wait for this old man! Today’s debt, this old man will definitely settle properly with you all.
Thinking of this, Ju Tianbao took a deep breath, then, extremely unwilling, kowtowed to Zhang Xiaohao.
Bang!!!
As his forehead hit the ground for the first time, tears of humiliation flowed from the corners of his eyes. Ever since he’d ignorantly stepped onto the path of cultivation in his youth, he had never been this suffocated in his entire life.
When his forehead struck the ground a second time, the edges of his clothes were already soaked through with tears.
The kowtowing continued. Under Ju Tianbao’s lead, the forces of the Jubao Building all respectfully kowtowed toward Zhang Xiaohao.
