Chapter 657: Chapter 657: The Terrified Luo Shixin

"Stop fighting right now!"

Qin Jun shouted angrily. To dare to fight at the foot of the Saint Emperor, it seemed Li Yuanba also needed a lesson.

Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin glared at each other furiously, as if only the other existed in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, this man and I have grievances to settle. I hope you will allow me to resolve them myself!"

Li Yuanba shouted angrily. Ever since he regained the Giant Bird’s spiritual intelligence, his resentment towards his past life during the Sui and Tang dynasties was unceasing.

He was the son of the first phoenix in the world, yet treated as a fool. How could he tolerate that?

Now, hearing Luo Shixin still daring to call him a fool, he already harbored the intent to kill Luo Shixin in that moment.

"Humph! To think you, this silly boy, are also favored by destiny!"

Luo Shixin exclaimed in surprise and skepticism, immediately recognizing that Li Yuanba’s true form was a peng bird.

Li Yuanba was also astonished to find that Luo Shixin’s true form was actually a Qilin, but in his burning rage, he paid it no mind. He immediately spread his arms in a shaking motion, forcing Luo Shixin back, while he himself was also repelled dozens of meters.

Quickly, the two collided again. The long spear and the giant hammer struck each other, sending sparks flying. The strong winds within a kilometer radius were like knife blades slashing everywhere, forcing even Qin Jun to retreat explosively.

Damn!

The two brutes dared to ignore him!

Qin Jun was furious. Li Yuanba might be absolutely loyal, but he was really not the sharpest tool in the shed.

After all, you are a Golden-Winged Giant Peng Bird; it seems that Li Yuanba’s experiences in that lifetime still had an impact.

As for Luo Shixin, Qin Jun could forgive him. If he were in Luo Shixin’s shoes, having just sworn fealty and then being provoked, how could he not be angry?

Bang—

Luo Shixin gripped the Qilin Overlord Spear with both hands and furiously smashed it down. This guy liked to swing the spear like a club rather than stabbing with it.

When two mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortals battled, the momentum was astonishing. Countless flying islands in the Southern Domain celestial world trembled.

Their figures interweaved so quickly that it dazzled Qin Jun, who was at the True Immortal Realm, and even Sun Wukong watching admiringly couldn’t help but marvel.

"These two guys..." Sun Wukong murmured to himself, feeling his blood boiling, itching to join the fight immediately.

Li Yuanba swung his hammer down in anger. Leveraging the inertia of a turn, his peak strength sent Luo Shixin flying tens of thousands of meters, scattering clouds, fortunately without causing harm to any flying islands.

Luo Shixin was struck so hard that he gasped for breath, his anger uncontainable. His wild black hair floated up, and with his ferocious face, he looked like a demon possessed.

Although the system did not restore his ancestral memories as the progenitor of the Qilin, it still crafted memories for him belonging to this world. As the first Qilin in heaven and earth, his pride could not tolerate failure.

Right then, he produced strange flames with a flick of his hands, wrapping them around the Qilin Overlord Spear. He fiercely hurled the long spear.

Tearing through the air, it carried a world-destroying force toward the charging Li Yuanba.

Because of the sheer speed, Li Yuanba looked shocked. He instinctively dodged, but immediately realized something was wrong and turned to give chase. Alas, he was unable to catch up with the Qilin Overlord Spear, engulfed by the flames of the Qilin.

The Overlord Spear was aimed directly at Qin Jun, and everything happened too quickly. Qin Jun’s pupils shrank, as his body couldn’t react in time.

It’s over!

My fate is sealed...

Qin Jun felt despair in his heart, cursing that he might actually die in such a way.

Bang!

Sun Wukong suddenly stood before Qin Jun. He swung his Golden Cudgel and knocked the Qilin Overlord Spear flying away, much to the shock of Luo Shixin watching from afar.

This monkey is no ordinary one!

"Curse you! You dare harm my emperor!" Li Yuanba shouted in a furious roar, ready to continue his assault on Luo Shixin.

Qin Jun quickly marshaled his magic power and shouted, "Stop! Are you trying to rebel?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba instantly stopped, the word ’rebellion’ making him break out in a cold sweat.

Luo Shixin also felt deeply ashamed, for he had come to seek refuge with Qin Jun, yet he nearly killed him. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just at that moment, a series of figures launched an assault from the Holy City and other flying islands.

Over twenty powerful beings, including the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint, Kua Fu, Hou Yi, Bai Ze, Yuan Hong, Yang Jian, the Sixth Golden Crow, the Nine-headed Insect, Lv Yue, Tang Sanzang, Nezha, Li Jing, Zhong Kui, and others, flew in and directly surrounded Luo Shixin.

Luo Shixin’s mouth twitched, and his forehead was drenched with beads of cold sweat.

He had not expected that the Great Qin celestial court would have so many powerful beings; he thought his arrival would be Qin Jun’s fortune, but now it seemed at best to be gilding the lily.

"Who dares to be so presumptuous!" Yang Jian bellowed sternly, his celestial eye opening and shining upon Luo Shixin. He immediately saw through Luo Shixin’s true form.

It was actually a Qilin, and its aura seemed as if it was from the ancient Primordial Chaos.

Hou Yi narrowed his eyes, and the Shooting Sun God Bow behind him trembled slightly, as if ready to fly out at any moment.

Luo Shixin secretly panicked, impressed by the person’s high level of cultivation.

There’s indeed a significant gap between the middle and later stages of the Golden Immortal Realm; the aura alone was an indicator of their respective prowess.

"Do not be disrespectful!"

As Qin Jun flew over, he shouted, hard-earned as it was to summon a strong being at the middle stage of the Golden Immortal Realm; he couldn’t be aggrieved.

This was a chance of five God and Demon realm instances, after all!

Everyone hastily paid their respects to Qin Jun, with Li Yuanba’s face full of embarrassment and regret.

Only after his anger subsided did he realize the recklessness of his actions. Why should he hold onto grudges from past lives? Such behavior only served to diminish his own stature.

Qin Jun glared fiercely at Li Yuanba and said irritably, "He came to join us, yet you treated him like an enemy and attacked!"

The generals were also speechless, as Luo Shixin’s earlier words had filled them with joy, thinking another Daluo Realm powerhouse had come to pay homage; but then Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba...

"My apologies, Your Majesty, I was just... hasty and didn’t notice..." Luo Shixin said awkwardly, cupping his fists and feeling extremely uneasy inside for having nearly killed Qin Jun.

Qin Jun waved his hand and laughed, "No problem, this certainly is a memorable first meeting. Come, let’s go back to Saint Emperor Peak to talk!"

After saying this, he couldn’t help but glare at Li Yuanba again.

Li Yuanba chuckled sheepishly, knowing very well from his long acquaintance with Qin Jun that he wasn’t truly angry.

The group turned and flew back to Saint Emperor Peak.

Along the way, Luo Shixin said to Sun Wukong, "Thank you for your intervention. Otherwise, I really would have been in trouble. Sigh!"

As for Li Yuanba, he didn’t care to pay him any attention.

Meanwhile, all the flying islands were abuzz with discussion; although the recent battle was brief, the intensity of the confrontation was tremendous.

"Another strong being has come to join us?"

"Sss—To be able to match General Li Yuanba in combat is a divine blessing to our Great Qin celestial court!"

"Hahaha, the Saint Emperor is indeed a child favored by Heaven, with powerful beings willing to pledge loyalty."

"Tsk tsk, who dare trouble Great Qin now?"

"Luo Shixin? That’s an unfamiliar name!"

...

Atop the Junzheng Hall, Qin Jun propped his knees with his hands and laughed, "With Luo Shixin joining us, the Great Qin celestial court will be undoubtedly stronger; I’ve gained another powerful arm!"

Pfft—

Sun Wukong couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and the others also struggled to hold back their grins, while Luo Shixin remained bewildered.

The Emperor’s words were so sincere!

"Your Majesty flatters me too much. In the future, I will surely go through fire and water for Your Majesty!" Luo Shixin knelt on one knee, cupping his fists, his face beaming with zealous and righteous laughter.
