Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 987: Acting To Kill

Panda Novel

Qin Wentian's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Xia Lian's words. His eyes turned to Xia Lian, only to see her smiling coldly at him. It was as though her words were of no great matter. The beauty of her pretty face collapsed instantly in that moment.

Was this her real face? She'd acted so perfectly in front of Qing`er, but the moment Qing`er was gone, she'd taken off the mask and had become another person.

"Am I right? Are you angry that I embarrassed you because I'm right?" Xia Lian giggled, ignoring Qin Wentian. "There are countless nobles in the palace, and even the descendants of grand officials are as numerous as the clouds. You're merely a damned dog slave, yet you also wish to rise in power? Truly a foolish dream."

"Have you finished talking?" Qin Wentian said indifferently as he looked at Xia Lian.

"What? Are you not happy? Will you go and tattle on me to Princess Qing`er now? If you, a tall, strapping man ran to tell tales on me, that would be quite interesting too." Xia Lian laughed. She blew a whistle and two powerful demonic beasts flew over, landing beside her and her brother, Xia Fan.

"No matter my identity, since I came here with Qing`er, that makes me a guest. Even if I'm her servant, it's still not up to you to humiliate me," Qin Wentian said coldly.

But how could Xia Lian even put him in her eyes? Her and her brother's silhouettes flickered and they mounted the demonic beasts. Xia Lian straddled a fearsome avian beast with traces of a Great Roc's blood in its bloodline. Xia Fan was seated on a baleful and terrifying white tiger that roared thunderously. Little Rascal poked its head from Qin Wentian's embrace, staring coldly at the demonic beasts.

"Are you still unhappy?" The smile on Xia Lian's face grew even more radiant. Seated on the white tiger, Xia Fan then soared up into the air and spoke in a low voice, "Xia Lian, let's go."

He didn't even bother to glance at Qin Wentian. The two siblings truly had good acting skills. Earlier, they'd exhibited such enthusiasm, only to reveal their true faces now.

"Okay." Xia Lian nodded. She glanced coldly at Qin Wentian as her beast took to the air.

However, Xia Lian's mount's momentum was abruptly halted. Her demonic beast let out a screech, and she turned her gaze around to stare coldly at Qin Wentian. He was tightly holding onto the tail of her demonic beast, looking at Xia Lian with a steady gaze. "This place is the Marquis Manor. I don't wish to make things difficult for Qing`er. Apologize and I will forget about this matter."

"IMPUDENT!" Xia Fan coldly snorted when he saw this scene. "How dare you, dog slave."

Qin Wentian inclined his head, and his eyes were like ice as he stared at this pair of siblings. They truly had no one in their eyes.

"Dog slave, I will teach you a lesson on Princess Qing`er's behalf." Xia Lian waved her hand and a fiery red whip suddenly lashed out at Qin Wentian. Instantly, a whip shadow formed, emitting a terrifying whistling noise. If this whip struck, the flesh of those it hit would surely be lacerated.

Qin Wentian's palm shimmered with a terrifying runic glow, and he grabbed at the long whip directly with his hand. When that long whip struck out against his palm, it caused no damage.

A fearsome screech echoed, and Xia Lian's demonic beast mount lunged at Qin Wentian, exuding a baleful aura that towered up into the sky.

Little Rascal witnessed this entire scene while in Qin Wentian's embrace, and a dark light flashed through his eyes. With a thunderous roar, he leapt out and grew in size, immediately slashing out with his sharp talons to rake through the brains of the other demonic beast. A terrifying runic vortex of darkness formed as the powerful demonic beast mount let out cries of agony, each shriek filled with despair. It was being forcibly devoured by Little Rascal.

Xia Lian was stunned at this scene. Her countenance soon turned extremely ugly to behold, wiping away her smile. Qin Wentian's demonic beast actually dared to devour her mount? Although her mount was merely at the Celestial Phenomenon level, it was ultimately still her mount.

"You are courting death!" Xia Lian screamed in rage as a tyrannical aura gushed forth from her, generating waves of power that flowed over to Qin Wentian. However, Qin Wentian calmly raised his palm and slammed out with it. A gigantic palm imprint appeared in the air, crushing everything. With a deafening boom, Xia Lian's body was flung away by a slap through the air. Her entire body was jolted into numbness by that strike. She felt a hot burning sensation on her face as numerous bones fractured. She was slammed to the ground, convulsing helplessly as fresh blood trickled out from her mouth.

Xia Lian's face turned completely pale, so ghastly that it was terrifying.

This place was the Marquis Manor, the residence of the Everpeace Marquis. The Everpeace Marquis Manor had immense authority and power in this entire empire. Her grandfather was even a powerful general and a trusted subordinate under the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, who doted on her and treated her like the apple of his eye. But today, she'd actually been beaten so miserably by a slave? Sent flying through the air with a single smack. Although he was a slave of Princess Qing`er's, what he did was still unforgivable.

In the air, Xia Fan was completely stunned by what he saw. The surrounding demonic beast handlers, who'd been busy feeding the demonic beasts, were all stunned as well.

"I want him to die," Xia Lian icily commanded. Numerous demonic beasts rushed over from afar. Xia Fan frowned, this had become a huge matter, and he didn't want it to be blown out of proportion. Although he disdained Qin Wentian, he wasn't stupid. If one wanted to hit the dog, one still had to see who the dog's master was. Before this, they only intended to humiliate him and wouldn't have truly made a move against him. After all, if they had really done so, Princess Qing`er would surely find out. It wouldn't look too good if they acted against an expert in her entourage while she was here at the Everpeace Marquis Manor.

But right now, it had become a big issue. This dog slave had actually sent Xia Lian flying with a smack? How dare he do such a thing?

"Kill him," Xia Fan coldly commanded. Since the situation had reached such a point, it would be for the best if they took the initiative. They could take their time explaining it to Princess Qing`er after that. Once Qin Wentian was dead, they could just say anything and make up any story they wanted to. And even if it made the Princess unhappy, there was no other choice. Unfortunately, the good intentions of his mother, the Marquis Madam, would be wasted.

And in addition, the status of the Everpeace Marquis Manor was extremely stable. His grandfather was someone who followed the Evergreen Immortal Emperor to fight for his empire. Even if Princess Qing`er was unhappy with them, she most probably wouldn't be able to do anything.

Hence, Xia Fan decided to give the order to kill Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with an extreme coldness when he heard Xia Fan's words. They wanted to kill him?!

Xia Fan had actually issued the command to kill him. This was already on a different level compared to their earlier humiliation. By issuing the command, it didn't just mean that they were treating his life like a weed, to be rooted up at any moment. They weren't even putting Qing`er in their eyes. Even if he really was a slave of Qing`er's, he shouldn't be someone they could kill.

Qin Wentian held nothing back as his aura gushed forth. A terrifying might swept over everything. Little Rascal let out a heaven-shaking thunderous roar as he soared up into the sky, as his body expanded and turned terrifyingly golden.

—BOOM!— Little Rascal transformed. Golden wings formed behind him, the feathers so sharp that they were even more fearsome than real swords. He transformed into a golden-winged roc, hovering in the sky as rays of gleaming gold shot forth from his eyes.

His body gleamed with a dazzling light. Little Rascal's silhouette flickered, transforming into a golden stream of light as he arced through the skies. Fearsome whistling noises rang out, his speed was simply too fearsome. Several of the ascendant-level demonic beasts were all ripped into pieces in an instant.

Qin Wentian stepped out, immediately moving towards Xia Fan. Xia Fan could clearly sense the towering might exuding from Qin Wentian. He couldn't help but tremble, and an instant later, a rumbling boom rang out as a gigantic palm imprint manifested. It blotted out the sky, smashing towards Xia Fan. The white tiger he was mounted on roared and valiantly rushed forward. However, one could very well imagine how powerful a palm strike from Qin Wentian had now become.

He was the #1 ranker in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Even from the perspective of the entire immortal realms, there was scarcely anyone who could stand against him within the same cultivation realm.

The white tiger was jolted to death from the impact, obliterated by pure power. The power of that palm continued to surge forth in waves, sweeping over everything, capable of even shattering the heavens.

Xia Fan paled. He hadn't expected Qin Wentian to be so powerful. Was this the reason why Princess Qing`er had accepted this man as a follower? As expected from someone who came from the City of Ancient Emperors, they were truly all terrifying monsters.

Xia Fan circulated the entirety of his strength to resist it, but he was still sent flying from the impact, and slammed ruthlessly onto the ground.

More and more demonic beasts rushed over. There were even demon immortals being released. This caused Qin Wentian's expression to turn extremely ugly. He gave a loud roar and unleashed a torrent of palm imprints, more than millions in number, causing even the space to tremble from the might. The numerous demonic beasts immediately roared in pain and agony as they were killed by the domineering suppressive pressure. In this region, their blood splattered about like rain falling from the sky.

At this moment, a figure could be seen rushing this way. Crossing an immeasurable distance with a single step, her speed was incomparably fast, to the point of being extremely terrifying. She instantly arrived at the battlefield—this person was none other than the Marquis Madam.

The beautiful eyes of the Marquis Madam were extremely cold as she surveyed the situation. Her son had been ruthlessly blasted to the ground, and so was her daughter. Their clothes were all torn and tattered as blood trickled from their mouths. There were also numerous demonic beasts that were either dead or injured.

From afar, numerous experts rushed over, all feeling their hearts shaking when they saw this scene. The Marquis Madam was the daughter of the Cloud King, and she had always shielded her children's shortcomings, and covered up their errors. But today, both of her children had actually been heavily injured by an outsider.

The Marquis Madam's cold eyes turned to Qin Wentian, with killing intent gleaming within.

"Mother, this man is extremely rude. He completely lacks manners. He actually used words to take advantage of my modesty!" Xia Lian cried out in a distraught tone. "I confronted him, but he was so snobbish that he even said that our Everpeace Marquis Manor counted for nothing. Since he is a follower of Princess Qing`er, he simply didn't put our Manor in his eyes."

The aura of the Marquis Madam grew even colder as she advanced towards Qin Wentian. She didn't act instantly, as though she was considering something.

As a mother, how could she not understand which of her daughter's words were true or false? But Xia Lian was truly intelligent—by speaking first she had immediately pinned the crime on Qin Wentian.

"Daring to kill my people within my Everpeace Marquis Manor? Even if I have to offend the Princess, I cannot spare you," Marquis Madam said coldly. After which, her finger stretched out. Qin Wentian instantly paled. He could feel a supreme overwhelming might boring down on him.

"Stay your hand!" An icy voice thundered out. Qing`er turned ashen, controlling her spatial leaf boat to rush here as soon as possible from afar.

The Marquis Madam's eyes flickered. Her finger still continued piercing forward as the sky changed color. Qing`er's expression drastically changed, this was a strike from an immortal king!
