Chapter 80 Qiao Qinya
Chapter 80 Qiao Qinya
When the young woman initially produced blue fire, everyone with experience assumed it was heat laws due to the sudden change of the surrounding temperature, but it was actually fire laws! Fire laws, including the rest of the elemental laws, were World Laws, but low-tier amongst world laws. Anyone could produce flames with the proper qi art, but to actually produce flames with fire laws were fundamentally different.
It required a conceptual law into fire.
Tao realized the seriousness of the situation, and his cultivation base erupted with fierce momentum. Regardless of fire laws, his cultivation base was at the initial-Origin Core, it wasn’t something a late-Qi Unification Cultivator could match with simply their qi-essence. To overcome this overwhelming gap required profound qi-arts, high comprehension into laws, high-tier armaments at either the pseudo-sky or sky-rank, and most importantly, your opponent cannot have any of those things.
Unfortunately for the young woman, she only possessed two, and how could Tao lack profound qi-arts? With a wave of his sleeve, an explosive tsunami-like wave of qi-essence surged outwards and smashed heavily against the young woman’s impending fist. She was immediately halted and sent backwards.
Tao started getting serious, his aura radiated with the full strength of his cultivation base, and the atmosphere started to feel like it was swirling with Tao at the center. The bystanders felt like they were getting dizzy and disorientated, some even fell onto their butts and others fell on their faces.
As for the young woman, her eyes blazed even greater with battle intent, and her aura started to exceed the norms of what a late-Qi Unification cultivation should be able to exude.
One could obviously tell she was unwilling to concede and even wished to end Tao’s life then and there. "If I was at your realm, I could kill you with a single palm for your insolence!" She shouted, her voice filled with anger and arrogance.
However, Tao snorted in defiance. He had just broken through a week ago, his cultivation was by no means stable and he could barely use a maximum potential of his cultivation. Otherwise, how could this girl break through his defensive art? Even with a world law, she wouldn’t be able to do such a thing unless she comprehended it to the force-level and that...that was unlikely!
"Halt immediately." A deep voice filled with calm resounded. Everyone in the surroundings looked about for its origin, but before they could determine it, the voice spoke once more. "What is this about?" This voice caused everyone to search once more and they all stared in shock. The voice originated from a young man, about twenty years old in appearance, with long blue hair tied in a ponytail, a grey martial art attire, and deep black eyes.
He was currently standing between Tao and the young woman, to others, it seemed like he appeared like a ghost. However, Yan Zaizen wasn’t as surprised. All he did was use refraction laws to distort others vision, and then used a concealment art that prevented others from sensing him with qi-sense or weak spiritual sense. As for Yan Zaizen, his spiritual sense was extraordinary, how could this little trick fool him?
The young woman, upon seeing the person arrive, had her eyes filled with excitement and then viciousness as she turned to Tao. She pointed with her finger at Tao and shoutedly explained, "This boor of a man insulted Linya and Chenya! Saying they were nothing more than beauty with no substance!"
However, despite everyone’s judging eyes on him, Tao arrogantly retorted, "Who cares if I said this? What does it concern you?!"
This caused the young woman to explode, she shouted in an imperialistic manner, her bountiful chest bounced, her chin pointed slightly upwards, and her eyes looked down at Tao as if she was an individual from above, "I am Qin, from the clan of Qiao and the family of Ya! The daughter of Xinya! If anyone should show concern, of course it’d be me! Who are you to say such words?!" She immediately shot back with words, shocking not only Tao but Yan Zaizen and Bai Lufeng also.
"This..." Tao actually felt awkward for the first time. He didn’t regret saying it, and he would say it again if she asked, but he felt a little embarrassed at saying ’who cares’. He coughed lightly, looking at Yan Zaizen.
Yan Zaizen couldn’t help but helplessly smile. This might actually blow up to be a big issue. He was just ready to walk over and try to smooth things out when the blue-haired man spoke with authority.
"Insulting the family of Ya in the Sky Heart City is punishable by death." When his voice resounded, he smashed a talisman, shocking everyone around. However, some expected this to happen, as if it has happened before.
The moment the talisman broke, six Origin Core cultivators who guarded the city appeared like shadows in the night, they surrounded Tao, Bai Lufeng and Yan Zaizen with cold eyes. Each one of these Origin Core cultivators had an initial-Origin Core Realm cultivation, and they definitely knew how to set up a formation to amplify their strength. Not to mention, the blue-haired man was at mid-Origin Core as well.
However, Tao and Bai Lufeng’s expressions weren’t filled with panic, but both had differing expressions. Tao questioned inwardly that the freedom of speech in this city was restricted, and how it was such rubbish! While Bai Lufeng had a trace of disdain in his face as he glanced at the Origin Core cultivators, he even chuckled softly and looked as if he was waiting for a show.
Yan Zaizen, however, felt complex. He needed to use the spatial platform of the Sky Heart City, not become enemies with them. He stepped up at this moment, "This doesn’t need to escalate. His actions are not worth death; we can talk this out. Perhaps we could have a drink later, haha." Yan Zaizen didn’t beg or plead but stated his intentions with a rather calm tone. There wasn’t a hint of fear on his face as if this was just an inconvenience.
However, seeing a late-Qi Unification Cultivator step up to try to remedy the situation caused the Origin Core Cultivators to sneer with contempt. Qiao Qinya and the blue-haired man weren’t exempt from this.
"Drinks?" The blue haired man shook his head in response, "Not only will he be sentenced to death, so will you two for being associated with this crime." He spoke calmly, as if their deaths were just a word away.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Bai Lufeng immediately couldn’t hold his laughter as he let loose. It was truly laughable. They were going to unfairly prosecute both of them simply because they were allies? Trying to pull the roots to prevent future troubles? Hilarious! Perhaps if this was used on someone else, it would totally work, but this was Yan Zaizen!
Yan Zaizen’s expression darkened, and his eyes suffused with a murderous chill. Sentencing someone to death for a crime they didn’t commit? Wasn’t this exactly the same with Diyi? His anger couldn’t be contained.
"You will regret today. And your Ya family?" His voice was as cold as winter and as hellish as the devil himself, "They will pay an incredible price for your folly." Why would the Ya Family pay? If it wasn’t for their stupid rule, would this even happen? Preventing people from insulting you, foolish!
However, when the surrounding cultivators heard this, they couldn’t help but feel awkward and chuckle a little. It was hard to laugh loudly because Bai Lufeng was still laughing, holding his guts, and clearing away his tears. It took a pat on the shoulder from Tao to stop him.
The blue-haired man felt insulted, and actually, those eyes of Yan Zaizen scared him a little, but he’d never admit it. He simply declared after mustering up his confidence once more, "Kill them!"
