"Superficial and ignorant?" The blue-robed young man smiled coldly as he stared at Qin Wentian. It looked like this Qin Wentian wasn't that stupid, since he could still endure it. Even though they were humiliating him, he could still be so calm and not act out against them in anger. He still possessed the sense of mind to rebuke them with words.
"Princess Qing`er and I came from the City of Ancient Emperors. With so many supreme geniuses in that city, the descendants of immortal kings and emperors were countless. Naturally, many of them were like you guys, always boasting of their identity and status," Qin Wentian calmly continued as he sipped his wine. All the young men and women here stared at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Among the descendants of immortal kings and emperors, there were naturally an obnoxious amount of arrogant people, all strutting around with no one in their eyes. I, Qin, have seen plenty of people like you guys. In fact, there are even many with identities and statuses more illustrious than the whole lot of you. An example would be the sons and daughters of immortal emperors," Qin Wentian continued.
"Going to the City of Ancient Emperors? This is what you claim as a qualification to come here?" someone mocked.
"No, no. I just want to tell you guys that… for those people high up and the arrogant pricks, I've personally witnessed many of their endings… and all of them died a miserable death." Qin Wentian glanced at the people, slowly lifting his wine cup and sipping his wine again. "And so, I'm honestly advising all of you with good intentions not to depend on your identity and statuses, and not to posture so much when out there roaming the world. It's fine if you do so here, as there are so many experts that can protect you. But the moment you guys leave the Evergreen Immortal Empire, I'm afraid that…"
After speaking until here, the mocking look in Qin Wentian's eyes intensified as he stopped his speech. However, it was clear what Qin Wentian was trying to say. All of a sudden, their auras all turned cold, filling the atmosphere with a biting chill.
Qin Wentian's unspoken words were probably, "I'm afraid that you wouldn't even know how you died."
"Are you insulting us?" a young man asked icily. His hand trembled and he crushed his wine cup into pieces, causing the wine to splash onto the table.
"I, Qin, do not have a high status. Why would I dare to do that? I'm merely sharing what I know," Qin Wentian spoke calmly, his tone filled with casualness. "In the City of Ancient Emperors, even those extremely famous descendants of immortal emperors rarely boasted about their identity and status. But today at this banquet of Princess Changping, I truly have broadened my horizons. Princess and Marquis, if you get the chance, please do remember to advise the other kings and dukes. Tell them it's best not to send their juniors out to roam the world for the sake of their safety."
"Oh?" Princess Changping's beautiful eyes turned to Qin Wentian.
"It's too dangerous," Qin Wentian continued in a low voice. After his words, even more wine cups shattered. Princess Changping's smile was as gentle and warm as ever. It looked like Qin Wentian's mindset was considerably more mature compared to these descendants of kings and marquises. He was able to contain himself quite well. As expected of someone who'd made it all the way to here from a particle world. His state of heart surely had undergone many experiences of being tempered, and he'd apparently seen many cases of people either trying to humiliate or intentionally make things difficult for him. However, these sons and daughters of nobility were different; they had been doted upon since birth and had naturally become extremely arrogant. Especially for those descendants who were talented. The amount of pampering and doting would surely increase and focused on them. In the empire, who would dare show them any disrespect, let alone humiliate and insult them with words?
"Just speak directly." Qin Wentian was too lazy to continue bantering.
"Brother Qin is such an extraordinary individual, and since we've had the fortune to meet at this banquet, I can't help but feel an itch in my heart. How do you feel about us sparring? I'm sure Brother Qin won't reject such a request, right? Princess,can we use this place to spar?" The blue-clad young man stared at Princess Changping as he asked, clearly not willing to let Qin Wentian wriggle his way out.
"Little friend Qin is, after all, still a guest of my estate. It's best that you ask his opinion." Princess Changping turned her gaze towards Qin Wentian.
"This place is the royal palace. You're all descendants of nobility, whereas I am alone. It wouldn't be good for me if you guys begged your brothers, sisters, parents, uncles, and grandparents for help after I injure you, right?" Qin Wentian laughed.
"INSOLENCE!" A person immediately slammed his palm down onto the wine table, causing it to disintegrate into dust.
"Qin Wentian, you do have a talent for insulting people," that beautiful lady said icily, staring at Qin Wentian. His words were filled with extreme contempt for them. To declare that he would injure them? And in addition, they would seek help from their elders for revenge?
This person was too brazen. His words clearly indicated that they would be defeated without a doubt, and also, that they would be shameless enough to ask for help from their elders because they couldn't afford to lose.
"If you can injure us, we will just accept it. Inviting elders to help out in matters of the junior generation is something we disdain to do. However, Qin Wentian, what if you run off instead and tattle to Princess Qing`er for help after being injured? That would truly be laughable," another person countered, mockingly.
"With just you guys?" Qin Wentian started laughing. He didn't say anything else, but his expression truly enraged all the geniuses present.
"Qin Wentian, you have no one in your eyes." A person coldly spoke.
"Come out and fight." The aura of another person gushed towards Qin Wentian. Given how sharp Qin Wentian's senses were, he could tell that the talent of this man wasn't bad, but he was still far from the mark of being considered a peak-level genius. These people should be the ordinary geniuses that the nobility sent over to probe him, all to intentionally anger him. It was ironic that they were angered instead by just a few sentences from him.
"Even if you are a guest of the princess, I have to teach you a lesson for daring to be so rude." A black-robed young man stood up, glaring coldly at Qin Wentian.
"No worries. You guys are all juniors. Since they wish to spar with you, just accompany them." Princess Changping smiled. After which, she silently transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian, "They are only here to probe, and have no true malicious intentions towards you. It's fine to teach them a lesson, but try not to injure them too heavily."
Qin Wentian glanced at Princess Changping, conveying that he understood. After all, this place was in the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. He didn't want to go too far and make things difficult for Qing`er as well. Since these people wanted to test him out so much, he would just teach them a small lesson.
Standing up, Qin Wentian moved to the empty site next to where the banquet was located. He calmly stood there and turned his gaze towards the descendants of nobility as he said, "You guys can come at me together."
"Arrogant."
"This guy is too arrogant."
"Let me deal with him." A young man in black stepped out. His entire body crackled with black lightning, containing a terrible destructive power within. Seeing Qin Wentian standing there unmoving, he rushed out with a thunderous roar, causing the earth to shake as a tyrannically ferocious fist punched out with fearsome power, aiming for Qin Wentian.
Shimmering runic light enveloped Qin Wentian. All of a sudden, his aura became incomparably vast and steady, just like that of an incomparably gigantic mountain, or that of an endless ocean.
"Are you looking for death?" The fist of the black-robed young man slammed forth, generating waves of lightning and thunder that exploded outwards, blasting into Qin Wentian. At that moment, Qin Wentian calmly lifted his palm and pressed forward. The black-robed young man suddenly felt exceptionally small and insignificant in front of that palm. That palm contained a supreme suppressive might, suppressing the fist attack directly.
—BOOM!— An explosive sound rang out. With a smack, the black-robed young man was smashed to the ground as he coughed out a mouthful of blood, his body shaking with unbearable pain. Inclining his head, his eyes were incomparably cold when he regarded Qin Wentian.
With a single strike, Qin Wentian had completely suppressed him. That palm seemed to contain a boundless might strong enough to shatter mountains and collapse the heavens. He had no way to stand against that at all.
The faces of the others all stiffened, and they stared with wide-eyes at Qin Wentian. Such power was beyond their imagination. They too, were also geniuses with strong combat prowess. But could they withstand that palm strike?
"It looks like what I said before was right. Other than your identity and status, you guys have no capabilities at all," Qin Wentian mocked. "Didn't I say to come at me together? Coming at me one by one will only result in all of you being smacked to death with a single slap."
"Since Brother Qin's combat prowess is so outstanding, we won't be polite then," interjected the blue-robed young man. He knew that if they didn't work together, there would simply be no chance to defeat Qin Wentian. For the sake of victory, they could only choose to throw away some face by joining forces.
"You don't need to be so courteous. If you are so courteous, I might not even bear to injure you all." Qin Wentian smiled. From the start until now, he was as calm and as casual as ever.
Everyone was completely enraged. All of them released their own constellations, boosting their own strength. The resplendent astral light illuminated this space, painting a beautiful picture.
"GO!" The blue-robed young man commanded, and everyone simultaneously launched their attacks. A brilliant saber cleaved down to slash apart the void. A surge of sword qi transformed into a whirlpool that crackled with lightning, capable of lacerating anything. There were even powerful demons being manifested, their roars rumbling the heavens, and they wanted nothing more than to devour Qin Wentian with a single bite.
Instantly, the winds and clouds changed, as attacks of overwhelming destruction swept out, all aiming for Qin Wentian. There was simply no way for him to evade them all.
"Did this fellow bite off more than he can chew?" the Scarlet Eye Marquis commented in a low voice filled with worry. Although Qin Wentian was powerful, these people weren't weak, and they were all talented geniuses.
"He was able to come here all the way from a particle world, so how can he be ordinary? I'm afraid those descendants are the ones who may have bitten off more than they can chew. They are being used as scouts to determine the situation, while the truly intelligent ones watch from the shadows." Princess Changping laughed. She had absolute trust in Qin Wentian.
At this moment, all the attacks blasted into Qin Wentian. The runic light enveloping Qin Wentian flared even brighter as an absolute ultimate suppressive might gushed forth from him, along with a towering surge of demonic might. With a wave of his hand, the faint silhouette of a greater demon manifested from his bloodline protection ability, towering up the sky. A golden divinity of suppression could also be seen behind his back, and it emitted a forcefield of pressure that instantly collapsed the attacks of all the other geniuses.
"Are all of your strengths only so-so?" Qin Wentian coldly smiled. His palm then blasted out as endless power swept through the heavens and earth. Numerous manifestations of terrifying Great Rocs appeared, shooting out like lightning and slamming into the bodies of the geniuses. They were all blasted to the ground in an instant. Their countenances paled, while the weaker ones coughed out blood.
"Unable to withstand a single strike." Qin Wentian flicked his sleeves and stepped out with his hands crossed behind his back. The expressions on the descendants of nobility were all extremely ugly to behold. They turned to Princess Changping. "Princess and Marquis, us juniors shall bid our farewell here."
After speaking, the group of people departed instantly, no longer having the face to remain here.
