Chapter 1979: Suppression with a Mere Gesture
From the pores on Qee Ting’s arm, an immense power surged forth, converging together and blasting towards Qin Chen who was seated.
"Qee Ting seems to have grown stronger again."
Someone saw the potency of Qee Ting’s strike and couldn’t help but exclaim.
"As expected of the most outstanding genius of our Jingyue Dynasty in recent years, he improves and progresses every day."
Someone praised.
Qin Chen sat in his seat, watching as Qee Ting’s punch came bashing towards him, yet he had no intention of getting up.
He merely cast a dispassionate glance at Qee Ting.
Then, he nonchalantly raised his hand lightly, pressing forward towards Qee Ting ahead.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Qee Ting felt as though a great mountain was pressing down on him, heavy and immovable.
The offensive aimed at Qin Chen abruptly dissipated like smoke in the air.
"What is happening?"
Many onlookers saw the sudden disappearance of Qee Ting’s attack, and Qee Ting’s legs began to tremble in confusion.
Qin Chen’s movements were too subtle.
Therefore, many did not realize that presently Qee Ting was pinned by Qin Chen.
Qee Ting raised his eyes, looking at Qin Chen with shock.
He found himself unable to budge at all!
The other seemed to have done nothing, merely raised his hand gently, imprisoning him in place?
How immense must one’s strength be to achieve such absolute dominance?
Qee Ting gazed directly at Qin Chen, sensing the disdain from Qin Chen’s indifferent eyes.
His heart trembled violently.
Only now did he understand, the gap between himself and Qin Chen was enormous.
And Qin Chen, he was only twenty-two years old.
So much younger!
"Didn’t he say his Cultivation was at the Tongtian Realm Fifth Layers? Is this the power a Tongtian Realm Fifth Layers can possess?"
Qee Ting found it hard to conceive.
He’d always been the one with talent crushing others.
Today, his talent was overshadowed by Qin Chen.
This reversal refreshed Qee Ting’s worldview.
Why is there such a terrifying genius in the world?
Twenty-two years old, with a mere gesture, he had Qee Ting immobilized, life at his whim.
This is the disciple of Saber Saint Cliff?
Qee Ting was profoundly shaken at this moment.
Jingyue Emperor and Jingyue Empress Dowager fixed their gazes upon Qin Chen, their eyes revealing amazement.
They naturally discerned that this moment was Qin Chen acting.
Moreover, he hadn’t even risen, suppressing Qee Ting like an ant.
"Tongtian Realm Fifth Layers? It seems to true geniuses, Cultivation is really insignificant."
"His combat power must exceed the capacity to obliterate an ordinary Tribulation Transformation Realm, and he is only twenty-two."
Jingyue Emperor’s heart shook violently.
Qin Chen cast an indifferent glance at Qee Ting, waving his hand lightly.
"Bang!"
Qee Ting suddenly felt a massive force sweeping over, striking his body.
His body flew backward dozens of meters, landing embarrassingly on the ground.
The scene fell into silence.
This... is this over?
The hall’s occupants widened their eyes.
This process absolutely exceeded their expectations.
Nothing had even occurred!
"With a mere lift of a hand, Qee Ting was defeated."
"The number one genius of our Jingyue Dynasty, in his hands, is... vulnerable to defeat!!!"
Someone’s heart quaked with fear.
Looking at Qin Chen’s serene expression, it seemed clear, Qee Ting was beneath his notice.
This is Saber Saint Cliff?
Their former suspicion and doubt about Saber Saint Cliff evaporated as Qin Chen casually defeated Qee Ting.
"Saber Saint Cliff’s strongest is Sword Dao, and from start to finish, he didn’t unsheathe a saber, merely raised a hand. This implies his strength is likely far greater than we imagined."
"What kind of Evil is he? Why does it feel like he doesn’t belong to our world?"
...
Qin Chen looked at Qee Ting, who had risen off the ground, and spoke indifferently: "Now, are you satisfied?"
Qee Ting’s expression was sullen.
Yet, he was someone who could accept defeat.
Immediately, in front of everyone, he knelt before Qin Chen: "I keep my word, I judged wrong."
"Moreover, I must thank the Saint; the Saint’s strength let me truly understand the saying that there are people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens."
"Thank you immensely!"
His tone was earnest, surprising Qin Chen.
It seemed this incident allowed him to realize something.
At the very least, the arrogance he once displayed was nowhere to be seen.
Perhaps, this will considerably aid his future.
"If only I could marry him, even as a concubine, I would be willing."
A beautiful and charming princess gazed at Qin Chen longingly, her eyes reluctant to look away.
"Don’t even think about it, such an existence is beyond our reach."
Someone quickly poured cold water.
Those blood-filled young men and women lost their eyes at this moment.
Eyes turned from doubt towards Qin Chen, becoming admiration.
Jingyue Emperor hastily mediated.
"Thank you, Saint, for not minding Ting’er’s rude behavior. Ting’er! Depart immediately and receive your punishment!"
He ordered sternly.
Qee Ting was willing, yet before leaving, he looked at Qin Chen, determined: "Saint, I will strive greatly, someday I aim to become a disciple of Saber Saint Cliff too."
Qin Chen smiled: "Saber Saint Cliff welcomes any capable Heavenly Pride."
The welcome reception continued.
After feasting and drinking enough.
Jingyue Emperor personally led Qin Chen to the palace arranged for them by Jingyue Royal Family.
This palace was constructed splendidly; everywhere servants and maids could be seen, it would seem as a residence of a great family.
Jingyue Emperor said: "Saints, please rest here tonight, if there is any need, just inform, and I shall fulfill it."
Qin Chen raised his brow.
He found it peculiar.
Logically, Blood Spirit Pavilion should have already become a major concern within Jingyue Dynasty.
Else, Jingyue Royal Family wouldn’t urgently seek Saber Saint Cliff’s assistance.
But why, from the start until now, half a day gone by, has Jingyue Emperor not mentioned even a word about Blood Spirit Pavilion to him?
Qin Chen said: "There’s no need for such courtesy, our time here is limited, we won’t stay long in Jingyue Palace. Inform me of Blood Spirit Pavilion’s specifics, after resting tonight, we’ll head to Blood Spirit Pavilion tomorrow."
Jingyue Emperor said: "We greatly appreciate the Saints’ concern for our Jingyue Dynasty. However, tonight it’s too late, we can discuss Blood Spirit Pavilion’s matters tomorrow."
Qin Chen accepted helplessly, nodding.
He led Lin Songyun into the palace, with the palace’s servants and maids respectfully standing on both sides.
Qin Chen and Qin Lin had just received full attention from Jingyue Dynasty’s entire assembly of civil and military Great Success and Emperor, Empress Dowager.
They saw it all.
Now, facing Qin Chen and Lin Songyun, even their breathing was exceedingly cautious.
