Return Of The Sword God

003

"Hahaha! Good... Very good!"

Shi Nian laughed hysterically, a forced laugh to cover the sense of shock as well as the fury burning her chest. Her beautiful face now appeared somewhat distorted by anger. She stared at Zilong as if the youth in front of her were the most delusional creature in the entire continent.

"Qing Zilong, you have truly gone mad! Losing your cultivation and becoming disabled apparently did not only ruin your meridians, but has also damaged your brain!" shouted Shi Nian fiercely, taking steps forward until the distance between them was only separated by a few inches.

"I do not care who ripped that trash paper! Whether I am the one canceling it or you are the one pretending to dump me, the result is the exact same... We are finished. I am not at all willing to possess any bond with trash like you!"

Shi Nian paused her sentence, her breath rushing, then her eyes narrowed sharply full of a killing flash.

"But how dare you insult the Sky Sword Sect?! You call that holy place a mound of soil?!" The tone of Shi Nian's voice rose, echoing in every corner of the hall.

"For your information, disabled ant! My master is a Core Elder at the Sky Sword Sect with a cultivation that can split mountains! Insulting my sect is the same as triggering a disaster of extinction. If I report this mad utterance of yours to my Master, it will not take a long time for him to arrive and level the entire Qing Clan into ashes this very moment!"

Hearing that extraordinary threat, the atmosphere inside the hall directly dropped drastically down to the freezing point.

"Nian'er, there is no need to show who the powerful person behind us is!" The Shi Clan Elder joined in rising, releasing a wave of his Qi to press the atmosphere, strengthening his niece's bluff.

"In any case, this Qing clan is already useless in this eastern region!"

At the main chair, the face of Qing Tian, Zilong's father, instantly turned pale. A threat from the Sky Sword Sect was not something that could be taken lightly by a clan as small as theirs. One anger from that grand sect was enough to erase the Qing Clan's name from the cultivation world map overnight.

However, in the midst of the hidden panic of the elders and the fiery anger of Shi Nian, Qing Zilong instead showed a reaction that was out of expectation.

"Leveling the Qing clan? As long as I live, that matter will never happen?!" Zilong's voice boomed, even the sword aura left behind in his soul seeped out.

Shi Nian instantly jolted, her breath caught as she felt a pure intimidation she had never felt before.

'Wh-Where does this cold aura originate from?!' Shi Nian's inner mind thought in wonder.

Yet Zilong took steps one time forward, making Shi Nian forced to retreat step by step due to a sense of horror suddenly enveloping her chest. Because the gaze of Zilong's purple eyes, which were as sharp as a sword, now locked that girl's eyes without mercy.

"Our business is already finished. That paper is already ruined, and our relationship is already dead," said Zilong with an excessively cold flat tone, as if expelling an annoying fly.

He turned his body back, turning his back to the Shi Clan party, then waved his hand with a meremehkan movement toward the wide open hall exit door.

"Now, lift your feet from here. Bring this entire party of your insects out from the Qing Clan territory. Our Main Hall is too sacred to be dirtied by short-sighted people like you."

"You... you are truly outrageous, Qing Zilong!" roared Shi Nian. Her face which was initially pale due to intimidation now turned crimson red due to being hit by an extraordinarily intense wave of a sense of shame in front of the elders and guards.

Even though her knees were still slightly trembling due to the mysterious purple aura radiated by Zilong earlier, her arrogance as a genius hurriedly took over her consciousness. She clenched her fists tightly, refusing to look like a loser in front of the youth whom during these three years she considered as a useless piece of trash.

"Good! You are very boastful for the size of an ant crawling on the ground!" Shi Nian snorted loudly, then curved a smile full of cunning.

"You say the Sky Sword Sect is only a small mound of soil, right? And you pose as if you are the highest ruler who can dump me just like that?"

Shi Nian took steps forward one time with a challenging lifted chin, trying to erode the atmosphere dominance held by Zilong.

"If you indeed are manly and not merely a big-mouthed boaster hiding behind an empty bluff... I challenge you! Two months from now, the Sky Sword Sect will open the selection gate for new disciples in Dawn City. Arrive there and try to register becoming a disciple at the exact same sect as me!"

Hearing that challenge, the Shi Clan Elder behind her chanced to be surprised, yet then smiled cunningly. Challenging a disabled person without Qi to join the selection of the number one sect in this eastern region was the same as ordering him to commit suicide voluntarily on the exam stage.

"If you succeed in being accepted into the Sky Sword Sect, even if only as an outer disciple... I, Shi Nian, will kneel in front of you, recognize my defeat, and consider the entirety of today's dispute to have never occurred!" exclaimed Shi Nian, her voice echoing full of triumph.

"But if you fail, or if you even do not possess the nerve to show the bridge of your nose in Dawn City... You must crawl beneath my feet, bark like a dog, and cut your own hand which has dared to rip our marriage agreement document in public!"

Shi Nian folded both of her arms over her chest, staring at Zilong with a demeaning look that returned to burn.

"How about it, Disabled Young Master? Do you dare to accept my challenge, or do you only dare to bark big inside your own house hall?"

"This challenge is too easy for me... Only, a small sect in a low continent like this... Is not suitable for me..."
