The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 103: Beating Up the Genius

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Beating Up the Genius

The 5,000 catties heavy Silver Dragon Soul-Seeking Lance intimidated everyone; no one dared to challenge Qin Jun anymore.

That made Qin Jun quite embarrassed, "Damn, still nine people short to complete the side mission. Seems like being too flamboyant isn’t so great after all!"

Thinking thus, he feigned a mocking smile and said, "What’s wrong? No one dares to come up? Where’s that imposing attitude from earlier?"

"Making a ruckus early in the morning, claiming you want to challenge me, and now you’ve all turned cowardly?"

"Are the geniuses of Canglan Kingdom all this spineless?"

"You might as well give up cultivating and go embroider flowers. Maybe you’ll do it even better than women!"

His barrage of taunts was so relentless that the young cultivators wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, especially when they saw the ’disappointed in you’ expressions from the commoners and cultivators, which made them deeply regretful.

With a ’puh-cha’,

Li covered her mouth and started laughing. The girl didn’t bother to lower her laughter, mercilessly mocking the young cultivators on the other side.

Daji shook her head with a smile, knowing well that offending Qin Jun was bound to bear no good fruit.

"This old man has wandered the Southern Domain and I swear, this is the first time I’ve seen such cowardice in a kingdom," Evening Star cursed with noble demeanor, but once he spoke, he spewed venom without using a single dirty word.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but roll his eyes, thinking, "You’ve just been summoned, there’s no way you could have wandered the entire Southern Domain."

Especially thinking about how Evening Star bragged that Li Bai’s fame had spread overseas, being called the ’Green Lotus Sword Immortal’, it made his teeth itch with irritation.

Just reject it, no need to show off.

"Don’t think you can fool me just because I haven’t been overseas!"

While Qin Jun was silently sneering at Evening Star, the surrounding commoners and cultivators were seething.

"Damn! Will you just go up there? How can we allow someone to trample over our kingdom like this!"

"Aren’t you usually so arrogant? Why don’t you go up there! You really are cowards!"

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, utterly useless!"

"Trash!"

How could anyone endure being ridiculed by both enemies and their own people?

Immediately, a young cultivator stepped forward, shouting angrily, "Come on! Even if I can’t beat you, there are others behind me who can. I’ll deplete your spiritual energy first!"

After speaking, he drew his blade and rushed at Qin Jun, only to be sent flying back even faster a second later.

In half a beat.

"Damn it! Dead men tell no tales!"

Another young cultivator, his neck flushed red, charged forward; Qin Jun, still holding his spear pose, couldn’t help but feel speechless. Indeed, no cowards in rage!

Unfortunately, this cultivator was merely at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Such strength might make him look formidable in one city, but in front of Qin Jun, he barely registered.

Qin Jun couldn’t be bothered to use the Silver Dragon Soul-Seeking Lance. Lifting his left hand quickly, he executed the second level of the Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique that came with a built-in spell. A beam of light, formed by condensed lightning, shot out from his palm, piercing right through the cultivator’s right shoulder. Blood sprayed as the cultivator screamed and was sent flying backward.

"All of you, come at once. Let’s not waste any more time!"

Qin Jun snorted coldly, his words igniting the remaining crowd’s anger but also secretly thrilling them. They were hesitant to face Qin Jun one-on-one, but how could they be scared if they all challenged him together?

Immediately, more than ten young cultivators drew their weapons, and Qin Jun stepped forward three paces to avoid involving Daji and the others.

"Brother Qin Jun, do you need my help?" Li asked nervously, afraid that Qin Jun would get hurt.

Because of her childhood experiences, she had come to regard Qin Jun as the most important person in her life. Although the Southern Sea Dragon King had taken her in, he also restricted her freedom, so while she was grateful to him, she did not love him deeply.

"No need, I don’t need your help to deal with these losers!"

Qin Jun, carrying the Silver Dragon Slaying Spear, looked back and laughed, then moved forward wielding the spear as thirteen young cultivators quickly launched their attacks at him.

It was not easy for a space less than ten meters in diameter to accommodate a melee of more than a dozen people, so the onlookers all took a step back, afraid of being accidentally injured.

"Can he win?"

In front of the inn, Yang Lan asked anxiously, while Ye Xuan pondered beside her, "Hard to say, there are too many of them, and they each have a cultivation level above the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment."

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a hint of apprehension in his heart. The first city of the Canglan Kingdom they encountered was filled with so many talents; it seemed the Canglan Kingdom was not as weak as he had imagined.

Little did he know, cultivators liked to venture out for adventures and hunt monsters, which was why cities near the border attracted many talents and strong individuals. The further one went inland, the fewer the number of talents and strong individuals became.

The more comfortable the environment, the easier it was for people to fall into decay.

"He can win, and he will win easily!" Zhu Yanqing suddenly spoke up, giving an invisible slap to Ye Xuan and causing his face to darken instantly.

Yang Lan, Zong Yan, and Murong Xuan couldn’t help but look at her in surprise. In their hearts, Zhu Yanqing was unfathomable, and being the most talented disciple from the Yan Qing Sect, they subconsciously regarded the reticent Zhu Yanqing as even stronger.

"Sister Zhu seems to have a lot of confidence in him," Ye Xuan said with a feigned casual smile, his heart secretly aching.

People who have a crush, be it a man or a woman, are prone to jealousy, and sure enough, Ye Xuan began to suspect that Zhu Yanqing might have taken a fancy to Qin Jun.

Little did he know that Zhu Yanqing did not respond to him but was intently watching Qin Jun, who was now surrounded by the cultivators. Her expression, as seen in Zhu Yanqing’s eyes, only confirmed his suspicions.

"What’s the matter? Getting cold feet now?"

Qin Jun said with a teasing laugh as the thirteen young cultivators circled him, none daring to make a move, which left him feeling helpless yet amused.

This scene had quite the feeling of a Peking opera circling the stage!

His words immediately ignited the long-suppressed anger of the thirteen young cultivators, who all swung their swords and charged at him from all directions. Qin Jun raised an eyebrow as his hands rapidly maneuvered the Silver Dragon Slaying Spear. The spear, over a zhang long, had an extensive range, and immediately three of the young cultivators were struck, spewing blood as they were flung backward. One had his face disfigured, letting out a scream like that of a slaughtering pig.

This scene shook the onlookers’ heads; compared to Qin Jun, these geniuses were as fragile as paper.

"It seems that His Highness truly was hiding his skills previously."

Jia Xun exclaimed, for he simply could not believe that Qin Jun had leaped from the second layer of the energy refining realm to the Golden Elixir Realm within a month, so he figured Qin Jun had always been pretending!

Playing the fool!

Playing the weak!

Playing the prodigal!

The Blood Sword King, Qin Yun, and a group of guards grew even more reverent towards Qin Jun.

Whoosh—

Qin Jun’s hands danced with the Silver Dragon Slaying Spear, the five thousand jin heavy spear seemingly weightless in his hands as he moved with speed that was almost impossible for the naked eye to follow.

The cultivators besieging him found themselves in dire straits; they simply couldn’t get close to Qin Jun, and when trying to cast spells, they had to be wary of the Silver Dragon Slaying Spear. A hit from it was not something one could easily forget.

At that moment, Qin Jun’s body shot up in height, instantly reaching three meters, making him look like a small mountain. The Silver Dragon Slaying Spear in his hand now extended for three zhang, nearly ten meters long.

Silence!

Everyone was dumbstruck, even Evening Star and others widened their eyes, faces filled with disbelief.
