Chapter 1420 - 1420 804 Slap and Send Flying_2

Chapter 1420: Chapter 804: Slap and Send Flying_2 Chapter 1420: Chapter 804: Slap and Send Flying_2 Cheng Daoran said to the fellow disciples who had escorted him, “You guys take good care of Huang for me. After I successfully pass through the tribulation, I’ll treat you all to a drink.”

These fellow disciples were the only ones present who had clearly heard Huang Liuyan explicitly refuse to marry Cheng Daoran. However, what could hearing such a refusal do for them? Will they speak up for Huang Liuyan? Doing so would definitely offend Cheng Daoran, which was clearly an unwise choice.

“Don’t worry, Cheng, we’ll make sure Huang doesn’t get hurt. Once you’ve passed the tribulation and become a Master with a Nascent Soul, we’ll hand her over to you unharmed,” one of the fellow disciples assiduously reassured Cheng Daoran.

Cheng Daoran was extremely pleased. Ever since he had met Huang Liuyan, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. No matter what actions he took or what promises he had made to her, Huang Liuyan had never shown him any encouragement. Fortunately, today, God favored the devoted, and he had finally secured his relationship with Huang Liuyan. All he needed to do was to pass the tribulation successfully so he could be with her openly and take her virginity, which would surely elevate his cultivation to a new level.

Just at that moment, a thunderous sound suddenly erupted above Tribulation City.

“I have never seen such a shameless person. Master Huang clearly did not agree, yet you dared to misinterpret her intentions. If such a shameless person like you actually succeeds in the tribulation, then God must really be blind.”

The tens of thousands of cultivators in Tribulation City who suddenly heard this voice were all shocked and startled.

Cheng Daoran’s countenance changed drastically as he scanned the surroundings, hoping to pinpoint the source of the voice. “Who is it? Who dares to spout such nonsense here? Show yourself if you dare, don’t hide and skulk around in secret.”

The few Nascent Soul Masters sitting motionlessly inside the house also showed slight changes in their expressions. They couldn’t locate the person who had spoken so abruptly, but the timing and tone of the voice indicated that this person was no easy opponent and might possess cultivation not weaker than their own.

Huang Liuyan’s expression was both shocked and delighted, but then she quickly grew fearful. She recognized the voice; knowing who it was made her afraid. She knew about Qi Tian’s situation. Not much time had passed since the last time they had parted, and even if Qi Tian had advanced rapidly, he couldn’t possibly match Cheng Daoran’s level at the moment, especially considering Cheng Daoran had many supporters. If Qi Tian stood up for her now, he might be killed by Cheng Daoran.

Huang Liuyan wanted to shout for Qi Tian to leave, to ignore her. However, Cheng Daoran had bound her speech and movement; she couldn’t speak or do anything to stop Qi Tian.

Qi Tian, hearing Cheng Daoran’s provocations, was completely unperturbed. With a light step on a branch, he soared into the air, followed closely by Gao Jinmei, who flew up with him into the sky.

As Qi Tian appeared, all the eyes of over fifty thousand spectators in Tribulation City fell on him at once. If those gazes could emit light and heat, Qi Tian would have become a blazing torch right then.

Qi Tian remained composed and flew to the same height as Cheng Daoran and Huang Liuyan, smiled, and nodded at Huang, saying, “Liu Yan, long time no see.”

Seeing Qi Tian appear at such a moment, tears suddenly welled up in Huang Liuyan’s eyes. She felt as though she had seen a family member, having endured boundless grievances and finally, help had arrived on her behalf.

Qi Tian glanced back, and without needing his instruction, Gao Jinmei instinctively understood, flew over, pulled Huang out of the National Master Manor’s group, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Huang’s tears.

Qi Tian shook his head, flipped Cheng Daoran the middle finger, and said, “You really are scum, not only twisting Sister Liu Yan’s intentions but also shamelessly imprisoning her. You must be so worried about Sister Liu Yan exposing your true face.”

After Qi Tian appeared, Cheng Daoran’s eyes were tightly fixed on him; he recognized Qi Tian as well.

“Good, very good, Qi Tian. I’ve looked for you many times before, but every time you managed to escape by luck. I never expected you to dare show up in front of me today, and in such a manner, not only slandering my reputation but also trying to steal my fiancée from my side. Do you know what consequences this will bring upon you? I can tell you now, from this moment on, there will be no place for you in the entire world, even if you flee to the ends of the Earth, the National Master Manor will hunt you down until death.”

Qi Tian burst into laughter and said, “Can you represent the National Master Manor?”

Cheng Daoran said, “Of course, I can represent the National Master Manor. Although I’m not the Mansion Master, I am one of the elite disciples of the National Master Manor and one of the designated heirs. Your actions now are a provocation against the dignity of the entire National Master Manor. Anyone daring to do so won’t end well, and you will be no exception.”

Qi Tian said, “On the contrary, I am the exception.”

Cheng Daoran’s expression turned ugly. He hadn’t expected Qi Tian to be unafraid of him, feeling his dignity provoked. Seeing Huang Liuyan hiding behind Qi Tian fueled his rage even further. He became too impatient to continue speaking with Qi Tian. Dealing with such a person, no amount of talking would suffice; only fists could make Qi Tian realize the reality, and hence Qi Tian would understand the price of taking a stand rashly.

Cheng Daoran bellowed furiously, his whole body suddenly accelerating, lunging towards Qi Tian like a mad bull, aiming to send Qi Tian flying with his own strength, believing that his charge would be enough to shatter Qi Tian to pieces.

A cold smirk appeared on Qi Tian’s lips as he saw Cheng Daoran charging at him. With a wave of his hand, seemingly out of nowhere, a half-human-sized rock appeared in his hand. Grasping it as if it were a brick, he harshly slapped it towards the charging Cheng Daoran.

With a loud bang, Cheng Daoran let out a scream, flying back out even faster than he had charged in. He couldn’t control his body, tumbling through the air, his blood spraying around and landing on many onlookers.

“Trash, that’s all the skill you have, and yet you dare to be arrogant.”

Qi Tian casually stowed the large rock he was holding, his hands empty as if he had never done anything.

Everyone watched, dumbfounded. They all knew Cheng Daoran’s fierceness; he was someone always on the verge of undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation, a true powerhouse. Yet, such a formidable figure was directly slapped away by Qi Tian, which was utterly ridiculous.

Not only were they dumbfounded, but Cheng Daoran was too. After he managed to stabilize his body, his eyes blazed with fire as he stared at Qi Tian.

Qi Tian stood with his hands behind his back, perfectly composed, not taking Cheng Daoran seriously at all. He smiled and tilted his head at Cheng Daoran, saying, “With your skills, even a hundred years of cultivation won’t make you my match. If I were you, I would not impulsively provoke me again. I would choose to undergo tribulation. If, by luck, you succeed in becoming a Nascent Soul Master, then come challenge me, and perhaps you could turn defeat into victory. Cheng Daoran, this is golden advice, earnestly given. I hope you won’t act foolishly and listen to your elders.”

The more Cheng Daoran listened, the angrier he became. He really wanted to charge out and face Qi Tian head-on, but the experience of being slapped away by the rock made him suppress his impulse. He wasn’t Qi Tian’s match just now; if he rushed forward again, he still wouldn’t stand a chance. With over fifty thousand eyes watching, being slapped away once was humiliating enough; if Qi Tian slapped him away again, he would have no face left to meet his fellow cultivators.
