The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 138: Disciple

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Disciple

"You dare insult me?"

The young man seethed with anger, and the two bodyguards following him immediately looked displeased, their Ascending Mortal Realm aura bearing down on Qin Jun.

With two Ascending Mortal Realm subordinates in tow, this young man’s identity was clearly not low, and the fact that he dared to be so arrogant in Luoyan City showed he was backed by powerful support.

"So what if I insulted you? Or would you rather I hit you?"

Qin Jun responded with a mocking laugh, eliciting laughter from the bystanders, and even the cultivators and citizens passing by on the street joined in.

The young man’s face turned red with rage, his eyes filled with venomous hate as he reached for Qin Jun’s neck.

Dare to make a move?

Qin Jun unceremoniously kicked out, sending the young man flying backward, only to be caught by his two bodyguards in the nick of time, saving him from landing face-first.

"You dare hit me! Attack, cripple him for me!"

The young man cursed, clutching his severely aching abdomen, as the black-clothed bodyguard on his left swung a hand towards Qin Jun.

The speed of someone in the Ascending Mortal Realm was so incredible that Qin Jun couldn’t even track it with his eyes.

Slap—

Li Yuanba appeared in front of Qin Jun, grabbing the right wrist of the black-clothed bodyguard, causing the latter’s pupils to shrink. He instinctively tried to retract his hand but found himself immobilized.

An expert!

The black-clothed bodyguard grew instantly tense, especially under Li Yuanba’s fierce gaze, which made his heart shudder.

"What are you hesitating for, cripple him!" the young man bellowed furiously, completely oblivious to the shift in the situation.

The black-clothed bodyguard inwardly cursed, My master, are you freaking blind!

"No need to kill anyone, just throw him out,"

Qin Jun waved his hand, signaling that a small skirmish wasn’t worth taking a life; he wasn’t so bloodthirsty.

Moreover, if he let Li Yuanba kill someone, they could forget about staying on in Luoyan City.

Li Yuanba nodded, then casually tossed the black-clothed bodyguard several dozen meters away, smashing him against a tree and causing leaves to scatter all around. The show of immense strength immediately caught the attention of many cultivators.

"Isn’t that the Eldest Young Master of Xu Family? What’s he arguing about?"

"It looks like it’s with the Little Overlord, Qin Jun!"

"Qin Jun? The one with the nine-star rating, the monster talent?"

"Tsk tsk, the usually arrogant Eldest Young Master Xu has finally met his match!"

"Qin Jun and Li Yuanba are almost in the Seven Major Sects; not even as Xu Guiku’s grandpupil should Eldest Young Master Xu offend them!"

The cultivators murmured among themselves, their words piercing the young man’s, that is, Young Master Xu’s ears, unpleasantly.

He, too, had heard of Qin Jun’s city-wide announcement; never had he expected to collide with the legendary monstrous talent in such an unfriendly manner.

"Do you know who I am?"

Young Master Xu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, So what if he’s a nine-star talent? Talent also means not yet fully grown, and behind him stood the formidable Xu Guiku, who could squash Qin Jun with a single finger.

"I don’t care who you are: you’re sick! You bump into my subordinate, insult him, and then you try to hit him. When you can’t win, you pull in your connections; is that all you amount to!"

Qin Jun spewed disdainfully, his rapid-fire verbal assault leaving Young Master Xu at a loss for words.

"Your Highness, we should leave."

Jia Xun hurriedly advised, the deterrence of Xu Guiku was too great, and it wouldn’t benefit them to clash to the death with his grandpupil.

Qin Jun nodded, then glared at Young Master Xu and harrumphed before stepping forward, bumping into him with his shoulder, which infuriated Young Master Xu. However, Li Yuanba was there, so he didn’t dare to make a move, and the kick Qin Jun had delivered earlier had made him realize he was no match for Qin Jun.

"What are you looking at? Keep staring and I’ll dig out your eyes!"

Li Yuanba followed behind and cursed at Young Master Xu, whose face was full of resentment, shaking with anger. Xu instantly burst into a hysterical howl, "Go ahead and dig them out! We’re enemies from now on; this isn’t over!"

Upon hearing these words, Fa Hai, Daji, Evening Star, and Qin Jun all looked at the young man with strange expressions on their faces.

You’re just the disciple of Xu Guiku, not his direct descendant. Who do you think you are?

"Kid, it seems you know nothing about power!" Qin Jun chuckled coldly as he looked at Young Master Xu, what was initially a small friction had escalated because this youngster had overstepped his boundaries.

Now that hatred had been established, Qin Jun was no longer merciful.

"Yuanba, throw him out for me, just don’t kill him!" Qin Jun commanded with a cold laugh at the horrified face of Young Master Xu, emphasizing the word "kill."

In an instant, Li Yuanba understood, flashed in front of Young Master Xu, grabbed him, and casually threw him, sending him even farther than the black-clad guards. The wail that followed chilled the hearts of cultivators and commoners in the street, and the sound of bones breaking upon impact made people’s skin crawl.

"Ahhhh!"

Young Master Xu lay on the ground, screaming in agony, his legs clearly broken, unable to stand up.

Nobody reached out to help; instead, they took delight in his misfortune.

"Karma! My friend accidentally bumped into him last time and was beaten severely!"

"That’s nothing. This brat even took over a civilian’s bride!"

"That bad? Xu Guiku doesn’t know about this?"

"How could such trivial matters reach the ears of Xu Guiku?"

"Exactly, those disciples of Xu Guiku are shielding him; it’s impossible to make a fuss!"

The cultivators and commoners gossiped about the tragic Young Master Xu, convincing Qin Jun and the others that he truly deserved to die.

If it had been someone else who encountered Qin Jun and company that day, their fate would have been miserable.

"Let’s go, he almost spoiled the mood." Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, the others nodded, and they walked together in another direction down the street.

Watching their retreating figures, Young Master Xu’s eyes brimmed with both fear and resentment, vowing in his heart that he would make Qin Jun and his group pay with blood.

...

As dusk approached, Qin Jun and the others finally returned to the inn. Qin Yun and Ye Xuan’s group of five also came back, each with different star ratings. Sadly, their excitement dampened upon hearing about the star ratings of Qin Jun and Li Yuanba on their way back.

Comparing oneself to others will only make one frustrated!

"Who got the highest star rating among you?" Qin Jun asked, beaming with joy. The feeling of suppressing the less fortunate was truly exhilarating.

"Sister Zhu, she earned a seven-star rating," Yang Lan said with a smile, hugging Zhu Yanqing’s arm; their relationship improved because of the incident at Bronze Pass, turning cold to Ye Xuan and his companions.

A seven-star rating?

Qin Jun glanced at Zhu Yanqing in surprise; the elegant beauty seemingly had an exceptional talent for combat. Should he try to woo her?

Could he let a fine girl like her slip away?

Of course, while Qin Jun could daydream, he was not desperate enough to start a harem right now. A flutter of the heart first, then the emotions, that’s his style.

If lust arose, there were plenty of options; Green Phoenix Pavilion, Yichun Courtyard.

With that thought, Qin Jun shook his head, then turned away to prepare to go back to his room to rest.

But he didn’t notice that Zhu Yanqing, upon seeing him leave without a word, had a flash of disappointment in her eyes.

At this moment, Qin Jun truly felt nothing for her, as Li’s and Daji’s beauties were in no way inferior to hers, and the Sword Immortal Li Bai was soon to arrive, with all his thoughts preoccupied with what kind of elegance Li Bai would display.
