Chapter 1162: Humiliation
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian's voice rang out loudly. That, in addition to how arrogant Huang Youdi was earlier, was undoubtedly an extreme irony.
The prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire Huang Youdi was said to be a match for everyone under the heavens. He had a cultivation base at the sixth-level and was extremely brazen with no regards for anyone in his eyes, treating Qin Wentian like nothing, wanting him to announce publicly that he had no relationship with Princess Qing`er and that she was the woman of his elder brother. How great an insult this was to Qin Wentian? He even assumed that it was Qin Wentian's glory, being able to fight against him.
Everyone knew he was Huang Youdi. Hence, no matter how arrogant he was, no matter how much he disregarded others, everyone would only feel that it is normal. No matter how preposterous the words were, as long as Huang Youdi spoke them, they would all be logical.
Simply because, he was strong. He was a prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire that looked down on everything.
However, everything that was mentioned above, was all stripped clean the moment Huang Youdi was defeated. In fact, it was a complete irony, an incomparable mockery of Huang Youdi's earlier arrogance.
Before this, all those brazen words he spoke, were just like slaps raining down on his own face.
He was Huang Youdi, a match for everyone under the heavens. However right now, he was captured by Qin Wentian and so badly injured that he coughed blood. His face was also marked by a blood red palm imprint. Was Huang Youdi still Huang Youdi?
At this moment, all that remained for the supreme incomparably arrogant genius Huang Youdi, was only intense humiliation. Just like what Qin Wentian has said, given how arrogant he was earlier, now that he was actually defeated by Qin Wentian who was a cultivation level lower, did he or did he not feel disgust at the arrogant words he spoke earlier.
"He was actually defeated!" The spectators were still in a daze. Qin Wentian actually jumped levels to defeat Huang Youdi who was said to be a match for everyone under the heavens. Although Qin Wentian had a perfect saint-grade immortal foundation, the ending of this battle still caused great shock to everyone. This was especially so when Qin Wentian unleashed his attacks earlier. All of his attacks were treasured greater demons innate techniques that were boosted by God's Hand. They were simply terrifying to the extreme. It was like he himself originally was a true greater demon and those treasured innate techniques were inborn to him.
Compared to the arrogance that Huang Youdi had before, his defeat now naturally made the the humiliation much worst.
"RUMBLE~" Tyrannical auras gushed forth. The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire all stepped forward, moving towards Qin Wentian. This was especially so for Huang Wudi, Huang Youdi's elder brother. Right now, Huang Wudi was a domineering existence at the ninth-level of immortal-foundation. One can only imagine how powerful his aura is.
"Release him!" Huang Wudi roared, his tone containing unquestionable authority.
"Scram." Qin Wentian inclined his head staring at the experts. The him who was now in the form of a roc, contained an incomparable loftiness in his eyes. His sharp talons pierced once again into Huang Youdi's body, causing Huang Youdi to scream in misery. Everyone then saw Qin Wentian grabbing hold of Huang Youdi's immortal foundation. As long as he was willing to, he could shatter the immortal foundation and cripple this supreme genius from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.
Huang Youdi trembled violently. His eyes shone with blood-colored light as he stared at Qin Wentian with hatred. He had lost, he was actually defeated.
"If you dare to touch me, you will surely die a horrible death." Huang Youdi stared at Qin Wentian.
"Are you starting to use your background to pressure me? The incomparably arrogant you bullied my junior brother who is two levels lower, yet you are still so proud of your actions? I truly feel shame for you." Qin Wentian's eyes were cold to the extreme as he continued, "Deplorable."
"The rules of the sacred academy states that you cannot kill or cripple a fellow student. There's no way you can do anything to me, you will die in my hands sooner or later." Huang Youdi stared at Qin Wentian, the killing intent in his eyes intensifying.
"I truly have no idea how you dare to be so arrogant even at this stage. Trash." Qin Wentian's palm slammed out, slapping again ruthlessly on Huang Youdi's face, causing the slapping sounds to ring out unceasingly. Every slap created a bloody imprint on Huang Youdi's face, until his entire face turned swollen.
"ARGH!" Huang Youdi howled in madness. "He wouldn't dare to touch me, capture him!"
"BOOM!" Huang Wudi turned ashen, he then stepped forth as a terrifying might gushed forth from him.
"RUMBLE~" Another surge of energy similarly as fearsome instantly enveloped Huang Youdi's entire body. His terrifying talons grabbed hold of Huang Youdi's immortal foundation as the destructive energies frenziedly crackled around it. As long as he used the slightest amount of force, Huang Youdi would immediately turn into a cripple.
"Do you all want to bet on that?" Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared coldly at Huang Wudi. Huang Wudi paused his steps, the light radiating from him was so bright that it could blind the eyes of those who looked at it.
"The rules of the sacred academy, I'm betting that you wouldn't dare to defy them." Huang Wudi coldly spoke. However, he only saw Qin Wentian laughing uproariously, "Not daring to defy them? Do you still remember what Huang Youdi said earlier? In this world, what the hell is logic? If he is strong, he is the logic, he is the rules. He wants me to say that sentence, making me endure grave humiliation if he gained victory in our battle but right now, the one victorious is me instead. The rules of the sacred academy are all also initially set by men. I believe that the sacred academy has a very good idea of who started the trouble. In that case, since I've won, I don't think the sacred academy would do anything to me even if I crippled him."
"You should know what the consequences are if you dare to touch him." Huang Wudi continued coldly.
"In the past, the White Tiger Race was as arrogant as you guys, they thought that I'm merely a lowly human being. That they believed that they had an incomparably lofty status, a natural-born king where only they can humiliate and insult me while I cannot resist. However at the very end, I killed two white tigers and feasted upon their flesh in the face of all the white tigers. You can very well imagine how much hatred the white tigers have for me, but am I not standing alive and well right before your eyes now? I dared to barbeque the meat of the white tigers, do you think I wouldn't dare to cripple him?"
When Qin Wentian spoke, Huang Youdi was still struggling. With a flash of his silhouette, he descended to the ancient palace below, smashing Huang Youdi into the walls. His sharp talons were still grabbed on the immortal foundation of Huang Youdi.
Staring at that violent Qin Wentian as well as hearing his crazy words, it felt like that calm young man from before has transformed into that incomparably arrogant Huang Youdi.
Only at this moment did everyone see this young man who possessed the legendary saint-grade immortal-foundation clearly.
It was rumored that in the sacred academy where the white tigers were at, there was a certain someone who had a conflict with the White Tiger Race and entered the life-and-death battle arena with them. A human cultivator had slain two white tigers and feasted on their flesh in the face of the entire White Tiger Race. This was something that had already happened many years ago, yet they could still remember this rumor they heard in the Sky Connecting Realm extremely vividly. Only now did they know that that the human cultivator who barbequed the white tigers, was actually none other than Qin Wentian.
Since he dared to feast on white tiger meat, in that case, wouldn't he dare to cripple Huang Youdi?
Did the people from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire dare to gamble?
Lei Ba, who was among the crowd, was undoubtedly the person who understood Qin Wentian the most. In the past, after that matter with Chu Qingyi, he had always been searching for Qin Wentian. Naturally, he came across many pieces of news about Qin Wentian, and knew that in the demonic beast sacred academy, Qin Wentian feasted upon white tiger meat and there were also many experts from a certain tribe that followed Qin Wentian. However, he didn't care about them. He was Lei Ba. No matter how arrogant Qin Wentian was, Qin Wentian was still not qualified to be his enemy.
Right now, Qin Wentian actually defeated Huang Youdi before his very eyes. Also, he did so in such a tyrannical manner. Although Lei Ba felt trepidation in his heart at Qin Wentian's strength, he couldn't help feeling secretly joyful. If this was the case, the grudge between Qin Wentian and the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire would be there for sure. Also, given Qin Wentian's character, how would he spare Huang Youdi so easily? Since this was the case, the hatred between them most likely would not be so easily resolved.
"What do you want?" Huang Wudi stared at Qin Wentian.
"Scram." Qin Wentian spat out, wanting the people from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire to scram.
An arranged battle? It was clear the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and the Thundergod Hall wanted to overwhelm Jun Mengchen with their combine forces. What arranged battle was this?
If it was a true arranged battle, it would be an one-on-one battle with both opponents on the same level. However before this, Huang Youdi already acted against Jun Mengchen and wanted to force Jun Mengchen to say that sentence. What arranged battle was this?
The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire didn't want to comply with the rules. To them, strength equates to rules. Since that was the case, Qin Wentian also didn't comply with the unspoken rules and told them to scram.
"Your junior brother and many experts of your sect are here as well. If you dare to touch him, I can similarly cripple some of them." Huang Wudi stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke.
"Seems like this brother of yours doesn't seem to care about your future. Your pride doesn't seem to be that important." Qin Wentian smiled at Huang Youdi. He stretched his hand out as a ball of destructive energy was released into Huang Youdi, causing him to scream in agony, feeling his immortal foundation trembling. He was so terrified that his entire body was shivering as deep terror could be seen in his eyes. Cracks were about to appear on his immortal foundation, his immortal foundation might collapse at any instant.
"NO!" Huang Youdi howled, he was a supreme genius of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Huang Youdi. If he was crippled here, he would from now on become a pitiful worm that was destined to be trampled on by everyone. It was impossible for a cripple to remain in the royal clan, they had no qualifications and would be cast out.
"STOP!" Huang Wudi roared. Qin Wentian naturally wouldn't stop. The destructive energies continued ravaging the interior of Huang Youdi's body. He inclined his head as his icy eyes stared at Huang Wudi. Towards enemies, he naturally wouldn't show any mercy. There was only ruthlessness in his heart.
From the viewpoint of logic, Huang Wudi naturally can capture Jun Mengchen to threaten Qin Wentian. However, that works only in theory. He didn't dare to use Huang Youdi's immortal foundation to take the risk. Although Huang Youdi might be cast out of the royal clan, thereby improving his position, if he could help Huang Youdi yet he chose not to, he would also suffer a terrible punishment.
"Let's go." Huang Wudi decided to compromise. He spoke to Qin Wentian, "Let's hope that he will really be fine. If not, if the rules of the sacred academy don't punish you, unless you lot vanish from this place, the debt would still have to be paid."
After he spoke, Huang Wudi waved his hand, signalling the experts of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire to retreat. He was truly extremely decisive.
When he saw the people of his empire leaving, Huang Youdi stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke, "Release me."
"Release you?" Qin Wentian laughed as he stared at Huang Youdi. "Do you remember the sentence you wanted me to say? Now, I want you to say to the public that, 'I, Huang Youdi, was wrong.'"
Qin Wentian didn't let Huang Youdi say things that were too ugly-sounding. Although right now, he truly wanted to cripple Huang Youdi's immortal foundation, this place was the sacred academy after all and he had to obey the rules. Naturally, he still had to spare a thought for Jun Mengchen and his other comrades. After all, it was impossible for every expert from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire to be trash.
However he believed that given how proud Huang Youdi was, getting him to acknowledge his mistake in public would surely be an experience painful enough that he would engrave this into his memories!
