Chapter 491: I’m Afraid I Might Just Kill You!
“An Ran, how can you speak such nonsense?”
In an instant, Shangguan Na became anxious, cold sweat oozing from her forehead.
“What nonsense?”
Miao Wu pretended to frown and said, “Tang Shixiong is kind-hearted and his strength is beyond what we can match, how can you belittle him like this!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Jade Linglong shifted her gaze, becoming even sharper, her eyes fixed intensely on Shangguan Na.
She was waiting for an explanation; if the other party couldn’t provide a reasonable justification, the consequences could be dire.
“This… this isn’t true, you’re lying! Don’t forget he used a Sacred Forbidden Weapon against you all!”
“That’s really shallow. That was just Tang Shixiong making a joke with us; he actually wants to gift us the Sacred Forbidden Weapon. Only those with dirty eyes see things as dirty!”
Miao Wu retorted mercilessly, leaving Shangguan Na speechless. Seeing the other’s embarrassed state filled her with satisfaction.
Initially, this person had relied on her favor to slander her in front of Jade Linglong, causing her to be ostracized. Today, she finally reaped some returns.
“Hey!”
At this moment, “Tang Qi” also sighed, putting on a pitiful expression.
He looked dejectedly at Shangguan Na and relentlessly pursued, “I know Shi Jie disdains me, afraid I might take your place in the future, but I really have no such intentions.”
“I didn’t come here to break you apart, but to want to join everyone, yet you keep targeting me! What do you want me to do to satisfy you?”
Saying that, he turned to Jade Linglong, showing just how desolate he felt.
“Hall Master, I’m not afraid, nor can’t I beat you; I’m only worried that it will embarrass you too much to see me make a fool of myself. Since that’s the case, I will take the initiative to withdraw!”
As he spoke, he began to step back, “It seems that I am not blessed in this lifetime, unable to serve you anymore. Please expel me from the Profound Sky Hall, and from now on, I will retreat to the green mountains, never to return!”
Before his words had faded, Zhou Tong saw Miao Wu give him a thumbs up.
This tactic of retreating to advance was simply brilliant; it perfectly complemented each other, knocking Shangguan Na straight into the mud!
“Xiao Qi, stop! This isn’t your fault!”
Jade Linglong said without hesitation, her aura radiating outwards, wrapping around Zhou Tong’s figure, halting his steps.
“I know you feel wronged, you’re a good kid, let me help you get justice!”
As her voice fell, her aura suddenly turned cold, and with one slap, she swung towards Shangguan Na!
With a loud slap!
This slap was heavy and sharp, directly knocking her away to crash against the pillars of the hall, then falling heavily to the ground!
“Pfft!”
Shangguan Na suffered a hard blow, spitting out blood, struggling to get up, her delicate face already pale.
“Master, please let me explain! I’m truly wronged; you have to believe me!”
“Shut up! You’ve disappointed me too much!”
Jade Linglong shook her head, “From now on, I will strip you of your identity as my personal disciple and demote you to an outer sect deacon. After you make contributions to atone for your sins, I will consider restoring your position!”
“No! Master, please don’t do this! Let me explain!”
Shangguan Na knelt on the ground, completely frightened.
She had offended many powerful warriors far stronger than her countless times relying on her status.
Now losing her high position, she couldn’t even imagine the fate she would face.
Seeing this scene, Miao Wu truly felt delighted, finally letting this person experience the feeling of being untrusted and without a defense!
“What else is there to explain?”
Jade Linglong was already impatient, her aura becoming even more volatile.
She was originally an extremely dangerous person, and anyone who interacted with her had to tread carefully, not even advanced sages were exceptions.
Though Shangguan Na had been favored by her in the past, ultimately she was just a disciple, and when it was necessary to abandon her, Jade Linglong would not hesitate in the slightest.
“I can prove… I can prove An Ran is lying!”
She gasped for breath, not averting her gaze from Miao Wu, “You said Tang Qi’s strength is extraordinarily strong, right?”
“Indeed, very strong! Strong beyond imagination!”
Miao Wu replied with an amused expression, directly admitting this, having seen the direction of events.
“Good, it’s good that you admitted it. Now, I want to challenge Tang Qi in front of everyone. If he is indeed as strong as you say, he should not fear my strength!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence, everyone looking at Shangguan Na with strange eyes.
This woman can’t be crazy!
She had already reached the Second Layer of Sage, while Tang Qi was merely at the peak of Semi-Sage; no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t be her opponent. This challenge was nothing but bullying and had no significance at all.
“What? Are you afraid? If you’re a man, accept it; don’t let others doubt your strength!”
Ignoring everyone’s disdain, Shangguan Na provoked Zhou Tong, already prepared to go all in.
“Xiao Qi, what do you think?”
Jade Linglong asked, eager to see what Zhou Tong would choose.
“I’m not afraid of the battle; I just want to ask what the scale of this duel will be?”
Hearing this, Shangguan Na’s lips curled into a cruel arc.
“Punches and kicks hold no eyes; life and death carry no complaints!”
Everyone’s hearts trembled; she was going to go all out!
“Isn’t this… a bit too much?”
Zhou Tong said with hesitation.
“Are you afraid of death?”
“No, I’m afraid of accidentally killing you. After all, you know, stepping over an ant without killing it is a force that’s really hard to control!”
As soon as these words were spoken, gasps echoed in the hall.
People never expected that “Tang Qi” could be this arrogant.
“Kill me? Hahaha!”
Shangguan Na couldn’t help but laugh maniacally, “You’re calling yourself fat yet still trying hard; do you really think you’re strong?”
Then she turned to Jade Linglong, “Please, Master, allow me. If I am killed by him, I will have no complaints!”
“Approved!”
Jade Linglong said expressionlessly, already prepared to intervene if necessary to save Zhou Tong, while she no longer cared about Shangguan Na’s fate.
Under everyone’s watch, the two stood on opposite sides, one appearing calm while the other was filled with killing intent!
Regarding “Tang Qi’s” strength, Shangguan Na felt she already understood; although he was strong, he could never be her opponent.
In fact, her assumption was not wrong; if Tang Qi were alive, he would indeed find it difficult to defeat her.
It was a pity she made the same mistake as Xuan Ge, not realizing that the person before her had long since changed on the inside.
Beneath that harmless façade, hid a terrifying monster that could devastate even an advanced sage!
