Qin Wentian remained at his current location. Although the City of Ancient Emperors was vast, but given how famous the Yama King is, his words soon circulated around the city. Unless the Yama King, Yan Luowang, was currently in closed-door seclusion, he would definitely soon hear of this.
Within the City of Ancient Emperors, emperor’s fate was like destiny. Since he had just came back and his emperor’s fate was reset to zero, the fastest way to accumulate it back was to defeat those people standing at the peak who had the highest fame in the City of Ancient Emperors. By doing so, he could instantly gather respect, fear and awe, explosively boosting his emperor’s fate. This was one of the reasons why he said such tyrannical words to challenge the Yama King.
More and more experts came to the area. Their gazes all turned to Qin Wentian, was this man the Saber-Sword Immortal King? Was he courting death? Wanting the Yama King to kneel and apologize to him.
“Bzz~” A raging wind kicked up as two greater demons appeared. They stared at Qin Wentian, these two were extremely outstanding elites. One was a golden roc and the other was a vermillion bird.
“Eh?” The golden roc circled around in the airspace above Qin Wentian’s head, his eyes flashing with interest.
“Little Rascal, get lost. Others might get suspicious.” Qin Wentian transmitted his voice over, scolding Little Rascal. So it turns out that these two demonic beasts were none other than Little Rascal and Purgatory. The three of them were bonded by blood and could sense the approximate location of each other.
Little Rascal, who was in the form of a golden roc, continued circling him. After that, he stretched out his golden talons and petted Qin Wentian on his head, “Daring to challenge the Yama King, not bad.”
“Do you believe that this seat will slay you?” Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at Little Rascal. This little fellow even dared to tease him.
“What great guts, daring to threaten this king?” Little Rascal’s voice might have matured somewhat but it was still extremely youthful-sounding. When referring to himself as ‘this king,’ it was quite comical and made many laugh out loud. Where did this little demon come from, he’s actually quite adorable.
“Have your wings hardened?” Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Little Rascal. After that, his hand ferociously grabbed out in the air.
“Swish~!” Golden lightning arced through the sky as Little Rascal ran away instantly, avoiding the grab. His figure then turned tiny, transformed into a small white ball of fur. Under the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Little Rascal actually leapt onto the shoulder of the fox maiden as he spoke, “Sister goddess, he wants to bully me!”
“…” Qin Wentian was extremely astonished when he saw this scene. After that, he saw the fox maiden stretching out a jade-like hand to stroke Little Rascal’s fur. She then coldly shot a glance in Qin Wentian’s direction. Qin Wentian was completely dumbfounded.
Bastard… this Little Rascal was simply such a bastard. Are there any females that he couldn’t handle? He even managed to worm his way into the hearts of Beiming Youhuang and this nine-tailed fox. What the hell was going on?
Little Rascal lifted his head high up and had a look of satisfaction on his face when he saw Qin Wentian’s reaction. Purgatory transformed into her human form. Her fiery hot figure and pure-looking features exuding a demonic feel instantly attracted many gazes. These greater demons are all so beautiful.
Purgatory glanced at Qin Wentian, she also heard his voice transmission and didn’t say anything. She stood at the side and transmitted her voice back, “Big brother Qin, the Yama King’s strength is at the very peak of the immortal-king realm, his combat prowess is exceptional. Are you confident to win against him?”
“I have no idea.” Qin Wentian laughed. “How did this little rascal cultivate? How did he break through to the peak-stage of the demon king realm so quickly? Also, how many years have you guys been in the City of Ancient Emperors?”
“We came here for many years. Little Rascal has a heaven-devouring beast senior taking good care of him and in addition, his own innate talent is also extremely terrifying, giving him a very fast cultivation speed. He just broke through not long ago.” Purgatory replied in a gentle tone of voice. Qin Wentian nodded lightly. Back then at the Demongod Mountain, Little Rascal was already at the mid-stage. To think that he broke through so quickly. Right now, Purgatory was still at the mid-stage of the demon king realm.
“What is his relationship with the fox maiden?” Qin Wentian curiously asked.
“That woman possesses the highest-grade bloodline among the nine-tailed fox’s race. After the descent of the Demongod Mountain, she received an evolution and it’s rumored that she’s a descendant of the nine-tailed divine fox. The heaven-devouring beast senior and the elders of the nine-tailed fox race have a pretty good relationship and hence, the senior brought Little Rascal to their side as a guest. Once Little Rascal met with that fox maiden, he instantly started his usual routine and bootlicked his way into the elders of the nine-tailed fox’s race.” Purgatory spoke with cold disdain. Back then when she was travelling together with Little Rascal, she had already seen the extent of his shamelessness.
Qin Wentian was actually perspiring. In his heart, he decided not to acknowledge his relationship with Little Rascal out in public. His face had been completely thrown away by this shameless rascal.
“The holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan are here as well, they came with us.” Purgatory added.
Another gust of wind sprang up and more and more experts appeared. As expected, Qin Wentian saw the holy maidens from the Southern Phoenix Clan arriving, including Nanfeng Yunxi. Nanfeng Yunxi was dressed in red phoenix garb, exuding elegance and an unprofanable beauty.
“Saber-Sword Immortal King.” Nanfeng Yunxi smiled as she called out.
“Holy Successor Yunxi, how have you been?” Qin Wentian laughed.
“The Saber-Sword Immortal King is acquainted with Nanfeng Yunxi?” Many people had intrigued looks on their faces.
“You even dare to return?” An icy voice rang out as another group of experts arrived. They were all dressed in yellow, exuding a majestic aura, unexcelled in the world. The man in the lead was none other than the person who was defeated by Qin Wentian back then – Huang Jiutian from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.
Qin Wentian glanced at him as he laughed, “A defeated dog even dares to come here and meet me?”
Huang Jiutian’s expression sank. The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire all unleashed their auras.
“What? You guys want to start a war?” A holy maiden from the Southern Phoenix Clan coldly asked.
“War?” Qin Wentian coldly laughed as he glanced at the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. “They are not qualified.”
“How dare you!” An expert from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire coldly spoke.
“Bzz~”Qin Wentian glanced over, his eyes suddenly becoming extremely terrifying, instantly causing the other party to sink within. With a loud roar, that immortal king unleashed his aura in defense. The surrounding experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire were all extremely shocked. In just an instant, a bloody line appeared on the forehead of that immortal king. He screamed in misery as he fell from the air.
“RUMBLE!” All the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire turned their gazes to Qin Wentian.
“SABRE-SWORD IMMORTAL KING!” Huang Jiutian roared, he soared up into the sky as his battle intent radiated forth.
“I will count down from nine to zero. If you guys are still in front of me, I shall kill all without mercy.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke.
“Nine.”
“KILL HIM!”
“FIGHT!” When had the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire suffered such humiliation before? All of them roared out loud. Huang Jiutian trembled as his aura engulfed his surroundings.
“Eight.” Qin Wentian continued. The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire were all incomparably enraged. Huang Jiutian stared at the calm look in Qin Wentian’s eyes as he involuntarily recalled the battle back then. At this moment, fear could be seen in his eyes.
“Seven.”
Qin Wentian wouldn’t waste time speaking nonsense. He continued to countdown.
“Fight or not?” The experts all stared at Huang Jiutian. Despite the intensity of the aura he exuded, Huang Jiutian didn’t move at all. After thirty years here, his strength has improved remarkably, greatly increasing his combat prowess. When he encountered the Saber-Sword Immortal King here earlier, he felt an impulse to fight him once more, to cleanse the humiliation he suffered in the defeat before. However, he didn’t expect the Saber-Sword Immortal King to be as brazen as ever, saying that he would start a massacre once the countdown ended.
“Six, five…” Qin Wentian was still counting down. Huang Jiutian felt an immense struggle in his heart. In these thirty years, he had improved tremendously. What about Qin Wentian? Could Qin Wentian have stagnated?
Qin Wentian earlier killed an immortal king with just a glance. When he did so, there actually wasn’t any outbursts of energy or aura from him at all. How terrifying was this?
In addition, he came back here and the first thing he did, was to challenge the Yama King. Since he dared to come back and dared to do such a thing, what level has his strength reached?
Undoubtedly, he has already reached the peak-stage of the immortal king realm or he wouldn’t have dared to return.
“Four.”
Qin Wentian continued. Those experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire who were roaring earlier didn’t move. The surrounding spectators all watched the scene with excitement. Although the Yama King has yet to arrive, they didn’t expect the scene before them to be so fascinating. The words of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire’s experts all sounded so dominant but the Saber-Sword Immortal King was even more tyrannical. Just a sentence he spoke, scared them so much that none of the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire dared to move.
The Saber-Sword Immortal King stood there, a single person holding off a group of immortal kings. None of his opponents dared to move at all.
“Three.” Qin Wentian’s tone of voice turned heavy. His body soared up into the air slowly as his gaze turned sharp, staring at Huang Jiutian.
Huang Jiutian’s heart trembled violently, as his face turned red.
“Leave!” Finally, he roared out and turned around, flying away. The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire all had shame on their faces when they saw this but they had no choice and followed after Huang Jiutian, flying far away. They fled very quickly, with extreme speed. In a few moments, they completely vanished. No longer having the face to remain behind.
“This…” The spectators felt their hearts shuddering as they stared at the Saber-Sword Immortal King. At this moment, even those who knew of him thirty years ago were similarly stunned. Huang Jiutian and the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire were frightened into fleeing just from a single sentence from him? This incident had completely toppled their logic.
“Crazy. Right now, the City of Ancient Emperors is just too crazy.” Everyone silently mused.
“The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire are all cowards.” Someone spoke. Qin Wentian acted as though nothing had happened, he floated in the air casually, glancing at the crowd. After that, he spoke, “If any of you wish to challenge me, just come on up, there’s no need to be polite. This seat will accept all challenges and treat it as a warmup before the Yama King arrives.”
The entire space fell silent. The experts in the crowd exchanged mutual glances. Little Rascal’s eyes widened as he stared at Qin Wentian.
“Hehe…” Little Rascal suddenly chortled. This fellow, after taking on the identity as the Saber-Sword Immortal King, he actually became this arrogant and violent. Luckily he escaped fast enough earlier or he would definitely be in for a beating if he was caught. Seems like he had to act more low-profile in the future!
