The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 176: Rage

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Rage

Boom!

The Divine Hammer of the Golden Peng smashed onto Luo Han’s body, and without surprise, Luo Han was instantly blown to pieces, his flesh and blood flying in all directions, causing the civilians to scream and frantically flee, while the cultivators were all scared stiff.

This power is simply...

Luo Han, who had entered a berserk state, had barely begun to show his prowess before he got crushed by a hammer blow from Li Yuanba, utterly overturning their view of the world.

If Luo Han had been a nobody, it might have been less shocking, but he was ranked among the top ten monstrous talents and was also a powerhouse at the Ascending Mortal Realm. To be killed instantly was unthinkable, and the man who did it was not some long-famed elder, but a youth who had also chosen to participate in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition.

You Fenghuang and her maid were also taken aback, looking at Li Yuanba with terror. They hadn’t expected this seemingly sickly man to be so violent, killing without a second thought. Although Luo Han’s death was far from graceful, the impact it caused was immensely strong.

Luo Han’s four bodyguards were dumbfounded, with their mouths agape, unable to believe that their young master had met such a grisly end.

"Hmph!"

Li Yuanba glared at the four of them, scaring them into quickly backing away.

Qin Jun felt a headache coming on, having not expected Li Yuanba to actually kill Luo Han, and now the situation had escalated. Killing someone in the capital was punishable by law, especially since the victim was a genius from the Sword God Hall and one of the seed players of this Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition.

However, he wasn’t afraid, just annoyed.

At worst, he would abandon the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition. With his current power, he wasn’t afraid of making You Fenghuang angry, nor of provoking a pursuit from the Netherworld Holy Sect behind her.

The Transforming Void Realm was already beneath his notice.

Cough cough, seems a bit arrogant, though!

As Qin Jun was lost in thought, one of Luo Han’s attendants suddenly took out a piece of crystal and, with lightning speed, crushed it.

"You dare!"

Li Bai became furious at once, ready to make a move, but luckily he was promptly stopped by Evening Star, who shook his head with a smile and said, "If you kill him too, we’ll go from self-defense to committing murder in the street."

Evening Star didn’t blame Qin Jun and Li Yuanba for their impulsive actions, as he would be disappointed if the future king feared such things.

You Fenghuang then urged anxiously, "We should leave first!"

Despite her disdain for Luo Han, she understood the consequences of killing him.

Qin Jun shrugged and said, "Where to run? Right now, we have the public as witnesses. If we run to a place with no one around, we’ll be privately dealt with by the Sword God Hall."

Upon hearing this, You Fenghuang fell silent.

At that moment, the big man in the tiger skin got up and cupped his fists to Qin Jun in gratitude, "Thank you, Young Master, for your help!"

Qin Jun waved his hand, indicating there was no need for that. Polite words are useless, if you’re capable, offer some material compensation instead.

"I didn’t expect your White Tiger Clan to fall to such straits," You Fenghuang suddenly spoke, causing embarrassment to appear on the face of the man in tiger skin.

"I’m incapable. The glory days of the White Tiger Clan... I fear I may not be able to restore them," the man in tiger skin said helplessly with a spread of his hands.

Qin Jun, originally planning to leave, perked up upon hearing this. Could it be that this White Tiger Clan used to be amazing?

"Your Highness, he possesses a Divine Beast bloodline!"

Evening Star suddenly sent a message to Qin Jun, which made Qin Jun’s pupils contract.

A Divine Beast bloodline?

This immediately piqued his interest in the man in the tiger skin. Could this guy evolve into a Divine Beast?

Tying it to the name "White Tiger Clan," Qin Jun became excited.

What if he captured him and raised him? In the future, could he serve as the national Divine Beast?

Thinking of this, Qin Jun actually felt a surge of excitement, which made the tiger-skin-clad man’s butthole clench as he thought to himself, "Could it be that this young master has a preference for dragons over phoenixes?"

Just at that moment, an oppressive aura came sweeping over them like a vast canopy, causing Qin Jun’s chest to feel heavy. Li Yuanba let out a cold snort, which instantly alleviated the discomfort Qin Jun was experiencing.

Li Bai, Sha Wujing, Daji, and Evening Star all turned to look at the sky simultaneously and saw a rainbow streaking toward them at breakneck speed, arriving above their heads in the blink of an eye.

The arrival was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe from the Sword Temple, with wild brown hair like a lion’s mane, a towering figure as if a war deity stood suspended in the void, looking down on Qin Jun and the others with deeply furrowed brows and eyes full of anger. Most notably, when he saw the blood and limbs scattered on the street, he couldn’t help but release his oppressive might!

First Level of the Earth Immortal Realm!

Evening Star’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, while Li Yuanba took a step forward, positioning himself in front of Qin Jun and forcefully dispersing the oppressive force.

"Eighth Elder, they’re the ones who killed Young Master Luo!"

The guard who had earlier crushed a crystal now pointed at Qin Jun and the others, crying out in anguish. Qin Jun couldn’t help but be rendered speechless; was it necessary to be so fiercely loyal?

"You’ve got guts, kid!"

The robust middle-aged man known as the Eighth Elder glared at Qin Jun and, as he spoke, lifted his hand to press down on Qin Jun, with cyan spiritual power condensing into a giant palm, as if a small mountain were bearing down upon him.

"Hmph!"

Qin Jun let out an annoyed grunt; this person had come with lethal intent, not bothering to inquire about the circumstances, a behavior that would infuriate anyone.

Li Yuanba’s face instantly contorted, and he immediately smashed his hammer at the cyan giant palm, creating a thunderous noise. The cyan giant palm shattered as if it were glass.

This scene caused the eyebrows of the Eighth Elder to furrow tightly, and the onlookers immediately buzzed with surprise.

In the imperial capital, who didn’t recognize the Eighth Elder from the Sword Temple, notorious for his fiery temper? No one expected Li Yuanba to be able to effortlessly destroy the Eighth Elder’s attack.

"Am I dreaming? Luo Taosha is a well-known Earth Immortal Realm expert, yet he’s just been countered by a junior’s casual strike?"

"Casual strike? It was clearly an angry palm, okay?"

"They say Li Yuanba is incredibly strong; seeing it today, he’s even more frightening than the rumors suggested."

"Tsk, tsk, Li Yuanba dares to turn against the Sword Temple, could Qin Jun really mean that much to him?"

"By offending Luo Taosha, Qin Jun and Li Yuanba are truly going to be at odds with the Sword Temple."

The cultivators and common people discussed fervently, with an air of pity and sarcasm. While Luo Han was detestable, in their eyes, Qin Jun and the others were completely overestimating themselves. Offending the Sword Temple in the imperial capital was undoubtedly suicide.

Qin Jun cursed furiously, "Damn it! To attack as soon as you arrive, do you dare to be so reckless even at the foot of the emperor?"

Although Luo Taosha didn’t understand Qin Jun’s expletives, he knew they were not pleasant words.

"You killed my beloved disciple; how can I let you live? I am carrying out justice on behalf of the heavens!" Luo Taosha declared sternly, his gaze fixed on Li Yuanba the whole time, feeling a storm of shock in his heart. He actually sensed a hint of danger from Li Yuanba.

He was, after all, an Earth Immortal Realm expert!

Impossible!

That was Luo Taosha’s first reaction. Li Yuanba was simply too young; he couldn’t believe that Li Yuanba had reached the Earth Immortal Realm. If that were the case, wouldn’t Jin Wuhui, revered as number one on the human rankings, be a joke?

"Damn! Is he your illegitimate son or something, making you protect him like this?" Qin Jun was furious. At this rate, his path to the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition would be truly ruined!

At these words, Luo Taosha’s face turned unspeakably grim, and his gaze towards Qin Jun was full of murderous intent.

What the fuck!

Did I guess right?

Qin Jun was shocked. No wonder Luo Han was so arrogant; it turned out it wasn’t just a matter of being a disciple of the Sword Temple.
