Chapter 117: Chapter 103: Why Are You Playing the Saint for Your Daddy?
At this very moment, Jiang Tianxiong’s hair was a mess and his body was covered in blood, his eyes wide with a terror that bordered on insanity.
’What the fuck is going on?’
He still hadn’t been able to process what had just happened.
He had always been renowned for his Horizontal Training.
He practiced the Iron Shirt technique!
In the past, he was always the one beating others. Who would have ever dared to lay a hand on him?
But today, in a single clash, his arm had been broken! His sternum shattered! He was grievously wounded, vomiting blood!
It was like a nightmare!
And what was even more crucial!
The person who had shattered his arm was none other than Chen Xuan!
’How is this possible?’
’Isn’t Chen Xuan only at the Fifth Layer of Gang Energy?’
It was always the elders who stood up for the juniors, not the other way around!
"A mis... misunderstanding..."
Jiang Tianxiong’s lips trembled as he shouted hastily, trying his best to placate Chen Xuan.
SLAP!
Chen Xuan strode forward and slapped him across the face. In front of everyone, the blow sent teeth flying and blood spraying from Jiang Tianxiong’s mouth as he let out a pained shriek.
"Misunderstanding my ass!"
Chen Xuan’s face was frigid. "Now, I’ll let you guess. Which hand am I going to hit you with?"
"Don’t..."
Jiang Tianxiong’s face was a mask of terror as he continued to plead.
SLAP!
Another slap sent the rest of his teeth flying. Blood splattered, and his scream was even more piercing.
"’Don’t’ what? You don’t want me to stop, or do you want more?"
Chen Xuan asked coldly. "If you don’t answer, I’ll just keep slapping you. After all, you’re a Gang Energy Realm master. You won’t die that easily. I want the whole world to see you kneeling here, naked, while I beat you!"
The surrounding crowd was utterly aghast.
’So cruel!’
’So tyrannical!’
This was a hundred times more tyrannical than Jiang Tianxiong had been earlier!
Before, Jiang Tianxiong had only tried to force Li Changsheng to kneel to Xu Tong!
Now, Chen Xuan was making the man get beaten while stripped naked...
No matter how you looked at it, being naked was far more humiliating!
Even if Jiang Tianxiong survived this, he was doomed to a lifetime of psychological scars...
"Master..."
A look of terror on his face, Xu Tong screamed, "Chen Xuan, there’s no need to go this far! Just kill him if you must..."
SWISH!
SQUELCH!
Without even glancing at him, Chen Xuan raised a hand and flicked a finger.
A beam of light, like a laser, shot from his fingertip in an instant. It pierced straight through Xu Tong’s body, who let out a piercing shriek. Blood spurting from his wounds, he was sent flying and slammed into the ground in the distance, his clothes exploding into nothing but shreds.
"Excellent. Now master and disciple can face each other with nothing to hide."
Chen Xuan’s tone was glacial. He looked at the blood-soaked, trembling Jiang Tianxiong and said coldly, "Your turn. Keep guessing. Which hand will I use to slap you?"
"I... I’ll fight you to the death!"
Jiang Tianxiong’s face twisted as he let out a sudden roar. His eyes turned crimson as he leaped up recklessly, a scarlet aura exploding from his body. He was going to fight Chen Xuan to the death.
He was throwing all caution to the wind!
He was burning all of his vital energy and blood, intending to take his enemy down with him!
He, Jiang Tianxiong, the River-Flipping Dragon, had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life!
However, even after burning his vital energy to attain power comparable to the Gang Energy Ninth Layer, it was utterly useless. The instant he leaped, a massive, brutal hand descended and pressed down on his shoulder.
It felt like a massive mountain was crushing him.
The force slammed his leaping body back down to the ground, forcing him to his knees and shattering his Gang Energy.
BOOM! The impact smashed a huge crater into the ground, sending countless shards of rock flying as a powerful wave of Gang Energy swept outward.
Jiang Tianxiong spat out another mouthful of blood. His knees felt as if they were rooted to the ground, making it impossible to stand. As his vital energy and blood surged, certain... special parts of his body began to react...
His spirit shattered. Unable to take it anymore, he broke down and began to wail.
"Just kill me!!"
He had been a dominant figure for most of his life!
He valued his dignity as much as his life!
Everyone knew him, the River-Flipping Dragon, as a stern and humorless man. But today, to have his clothes shattered, to be forced to kneel naked in such a pathetic state... it stripped him of any will to live.
But now, he couldn’t even take his own life.
[Jiang Tianxiong’s martial heart has collapsed. Exceptional satisfaction detected. Retribution points +8000!]
A line of text suddenly appeared before him.
"You want to die already? Let me tell you, it’s far too soon for that!"
Chen Xuan’s voice was merciless. Pinning the man down with one hand, he said, "I’m going to drag you to the main street of the commandery city and make you crawl, naked like this, all the way to the Twelve Alliances. You will crawl right up to my master, Li Changsheng, and personally apologize to him!"
!!
Jiang Tianxiong’s face twisted in horror, as if he’d just heard a tale from the deepest pits of hell. free𝑤ebnovel.com
’Make him crawl to the Twelve Alliances in this pathetic state?’
"Miss Su, I’m begging you! Please, kill me!"
Jiang Tianxiong’s voice was shrill, tears streaming down his face as he screamed wretchedly.
"I don’t want the Spirit Medicine anymore! Just kill me!"
Left with no other choice, he could only beg Su Wanqing for help!
Even if she were to save him, he no longer wanted to live.
All he wanted was a quick death!
Su Wanqing, who had been standing nearby with a frosty and aloof demeanor, let her gaze sweep over coldly. She ignored Jiang Tianxiong’s nudity and the... peculiar state of some of his parts, her eyes landing directly on Chen Xuan, radiating a chilling aura.
"That’s enough! Be merciful where you can. You’ve already defeated him, there’s no need for such humiliation. Aren’t you afraid that one day, someone will do the same to you?"
"And who the hell do you think you are? What are you doing running over here to lecture your old man?"
Chen Xuan responded with zero courtesy. "He was bullying my master, trying to make a 120-year-old man kneel to a junior in his early thirties and piss on his face. Why didn’t you pipe up then? And now you’re acting like some saint for your old man?"
"What did you say?"
Su Wanqing’s eyes flashed, the coldness in her gaze intensifying.
"What did I say? Are your ears just for decoration? Carrying that sword around, pretending to be some ice queen? Get the hell out of my sight!"
Chen Xuan retorted icily, meeting her aggression head-on. freeweɓnøvel.com
The crowd was once again dumbfounded, breaking into a flurry of discussion.
’This Chen Xuan is insane!’
’How dare he speak to a master from the Human List like that?’
’Doesn’t he know who she is?’
"He’s crazy, completely insane!"
"Not necessarily. For Chen Xuan to defeat Jiang Tianxiong like that in a single exchange, he might have the strength of someone on the Human List himself..."
"What? He has the strength of a Human List master too?"
"Think about it. Jiang Tianxiong is at the Eighth Layer of Gang Energy, and Chen Xuan defeated him in one blow..."
"That’s true... maybe he came here specifically for Su Wanqing?"
The crowd murmured.
Su Wanqing’s eyes narrowed as a frigid aura emanated from her. Wisps of Sword Qi began to envelop her body, hissing audibly. Her entire presence changed as she took a step forward, the icy aura spreading...
"Your name is Chen Xuan, is that right?"
Her gaze, sharp as lightning, fixed on Chen Xuan.
"You can call me ’Dad’ if you want."
Chen Xuan replied coolly.
’What’s with this self-righteous act!’
’If you want to stick your nose in, just say so. Don’t make up excuses!’
"It seems you truly have a death wish!"
Su Wanqing’s voice was like ice. As she took another step, the very air in the valley seemed to freeze solid. The rubble on the ground silently turned to dust, and all the surrounding plants began to bend, their heads bowed.
This was not due to the wind, but the crushing pressure of the invisible Sword Intent radiating from her body.
"Su Wanqing, ninety-seventh on the Human List! I am here to witness your skills!"
With every word she spoke, the chill in the air intensified. In the blink of an eye, a thin layer of white frost coated the ground.
’The Human List!’
Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he stared at her.
’Good, good, good!’
’I finally get to face a master from the Human List!’
’And a low-ranking one, at that!’
’This is perfect!’
"Kneel and admit your mistake, sever one of your arms, and I will forgive your insolence. Otherwise, I don’t mind stripping you naked and letting you kneel here to experience it for yourself."
Su Wanqing’s voice was as cool and clear as a mountain spring, yet it held an undeniable authority. This was the confidence of a Human List master, the pride of the Cold Frost Sword. She had seen far too many arrogant fools, and all of them had ended up as ice sculptures beneath her blade.
Chen Xuan suddenly smiled.
He released his grip on Jiang Tianxiong and slowly turned to face her.
Jiang Tianxiong lay limply in the crater like a pile of mud, trembling and covered in blood. He had lost even the strength to try and escape...
"Is that so? I wonder, then, how you plan on making your old man kneel?"
Chen Xuan said.
’A Human List master!’
’Such a big reputation!’
’Acting like some kind of edgy teenager?’
’Isn’t it embarrassing?’
He refused to believe that with all his talents, and at the Ninth Layer of Gang Energy, he couldn’t defeat a Su Wanqing who hadn’t even condensed her True Qi yet!
He could even put up a fight against someone truly in the True Qi Realm!
