Chapter 924:
Meanwhile, Baiqing Residence’s aura was also gradually spreading out as he spoke.
The terrifying level of the Peak of Foundation Establishment Stage swept across the entire place in an instant, pressing down on everyone until they were drenched in cold sweat.
Even though Zuo Qingyue had already cultivated to Tier Nine Foundation Establishment, when faced with Baiqing Residence’s oppressive pressure, she likewise felt utterly powerless.
Her talent was indeed extraordinary, but she was, after all, from the Martial Arts District. Whether in terms of Cultivation Technique or other resources, she was far inferior to him.
If they really fought, she didn’t have the slightest confidence in winning.
"Baiqing Residence, don’t go too far." Zuo Qingyue clenched her pink fists, glaring furiously.
Baiqing Residence let out a sneer. "I am going too far, so what?"
He was Bai Qingrou’s disciple. Within Tianqing City, what was there that he didn’t dare to do?
Seeing Zuo Qingyue being forced to back down, Qin Qi subconsciously wanted to step out.
Then he suddenly remembered that he had sworn upon his Heart Demon to Luo Yanran that when he met this Baiqing Residence, he had to give way a little.
Thinking of this, he could only clasp his hands behind his back and step forward. "Brother Bai, the battle between the Evil Demons and us cultivators has not yet ended. Yet now you turn your spear toward your own kin. That’s not very appropriate, is it!"
Baiqing Residence’s initial anger, to begin with, was all because of Qin Qi.
Now, hearing Qin Qi speak like this, he was even more infuriated.
Suddenly, he curled his lips as if he’d thought of something. "Qin Qi, since that’s the case, why don’t we have a little match?"
"Whoever wins, Junior Sister Zuo will go with him. How about that?"
After saying this, a ferocious, icy smile surfaced in his heart.
You should know, he had been waiting for this day for a very long time, merely lacking an opportunity!
As soon as those words fell, Zuo Qingyue immediately stood up. "Baiqing Residence, are you treating me like an object?"
Baiqing Residence ignored her, his gaze fixed straight on Qin Qi.
Zuo Qingyue drew in a light breath. "Qin Qi, don’t be impulsive."
Qin Qi had indeed risen to fame in recent days, but it was basically because his methods restrained Evil Demons.
In a head-on clash against human cultivators, with a gap of four tiers, Qin Qi practically had no chance of victory.
Qin Qi curled his lips into a grin, his eyes narrowing slightly as he already formed a plan in his heart.
He certainly wouldn’t act on impulse.
After all, he had promised Luo Yanran to be tolerant toward this Baiqing Residence.
It’s just that...
If he didn’t establish his authority today, then anyone would dare lay a hand on his woman!
Qin Qi’s silence, in Baiqing Residence’s eyes, was undoubtedly seen as weakness and fear.
Baiqing Residence immediately pressed on aggressively. "What now, Qin Qi? You don’t dare?"
Qin Qi shrugged. "I just feel that since we’re fellow cultivators of the same race, there’s really no need to engage in mutual slaughter here."
Baiqing Residence burst into hearty laughter. "Qin Qi, if you don’t dare then you don’t dare. Why dress it up with such high-sounding words!"
"Junior Sister Zuo, you see this too. This brat doesn’t even have the courage to have a fight with me!"
The few patrol members at the side also looked at each other.
"This Qin Qi clearly doesn’t dare to accept the challenge!"
"That’s normal. Although Junior Brother Qin Qi has performed spectacularly on the battlefield, he almost has no record in fights against cultivators of the same realm."
"Now that he doesn’t dare to accept, it proves he actually has no confidence. Most likely, his outstanding achievements on the battlefield are all because his Cultivation Method is special!"
"This kind of Cultivation Technique might be useful against Evil Demons, but against cultivators of the same realm, it’s useless!"
Listening to these comments, and with Qin Qi still avoiding battle,
Baiqing Residence became even more convinced of his own judgment, sneering as he said, "Qin Qi, if you truly don’t dare to fight, I can show you a way out!"
"What way out?" Qin Qi put on a very curious expression.
Baiqing Residence smirked playfully. "It’s simple. Leave now, and I can pretend nothing ever happened!"
"No, that won’t do. You have to crawl out of here! Then beg me to spare you..."
Zuo Qingyue gnashed her teeth. "Baiqing Residence, what exactly do you want!"
At the same time, confusion flickered in her beautiful eyes.
Back in the Demon Slaying Area, in order to protect her and Wenren Xiaoxian, Qin Qi had thrown himself in harm’s way. How could he now be so cowardly?
Baiqing Residence twisted his neck. "Qin Qi, have you made up your mind yet? Are you going to crawl out from under my eyelids, or fight me?"
Qin Qi finally smiled. "What if I choose neither?"
Baiqing Residence sneered. "Qin Qi, you’re scared down to your bones, huh. I’ve already pushed you this far, and you still don’t dare to fight!"
"Are you even a man anymore? If I were you, heh, I might as well just go smash my head somewhere and die!"
Qin Qi stretched lazily and said unhurriedly, "Brother Bai’s cultivation is unrivaled. I’m no match for you, so naturally, I don’t dare accept your challenge. However..."
"However what?" After being flattered by Qin Qi like this, Baiqing Residence felt especially pleased.
Qin Qi spoke calmly, with a hint of guiding intent. "If Brother Bai insists on making a move against me, it seems I don’t really have much choice, do I?"
Baiqing Residence paused slightly.
What Qin Qi said made a lot of sense.
He could completely just use force.
No, wait!
Baiqing Residence wasn’t stupid.
Up to now, every time he dealt with Qin Qi, he’d suffered heavy losses. He had a strong feeling that Qin Qi definitely had some ulterior motive in saying this.
But thinking carefully, as long as he beat Qin Qi, all his past humiliation and the Heart Demon in his heart would be wiped out completely.
Not to mention, he was at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Stage, while Qin Qi was only at Tier Six!
A four-tier gap—who in this Secret Realm could easily bridge that?
Qin Qi saw Baiqing Residence actually hesitating and shook his head. "Brother Bai, after all that talk, don’t tell me you’re just all bark and no bite, and actually don’t dare lay a hand on me?"
Zuo Qingyue already had no idea what Qin Qi was thinking anymore!
"Qin Qi, you... you should stop talking." She frowned as she spoke.
And Baiqing Residence was completely enraged by Qin Qi’s words.
He snorted. "I don’t dare? Qin Qi, you’re thinking too highly of yourself. In this Tianqing City, there’s nothing your father here doesn’t dare do!"
"These past few days, your brilliant record outside must have really inflated you. Today I’ll show you what it means there’s always someone better, and a sky beyond the sky!"
"I, Baiqing Residence, as a top genius of the Tianlan Sect, am absolutely not someone you can compare to!"
With that, he fully released his aura, his Mana surging like a raging tidal wave, crashing straight toward Qin Qi.
"Qin Qi, be careful!" Zuo Qingyue immediately moved to stand by Qin Qi’s side, intending to join forces to resist Baiqing Residence.
Her Tier Nine Foundation Establishment cultivation erupted, and she spread her Mana out, colliding head-on with Baiqing Residence!
For a moment, the two were actually evenly matched!
But Qin Qi’s lips curled slightly.
"Damn, this brat finally took the bait!"
For the sake of his oath to Luo Yanran, he had been holding back, swallowing this anger for a long time.
Since the other side insisted on courting death, then he could only oblige!
