Chapter 362: The Old Bird and the Young Eagle
🕑 Added 2024-11-11 13:38:07 +0000 UTC"It's over."
Qin Zi stared at the giant hand descending upon him, a deep sense of despair rising in his heart.
The gap between them was simply too vast.
Taking a deep breath, he was just about to resort to his ultimate skill—calling for his father!
Suddenly.
A figure appeared in front of him, and before he could react, that figure threw a punch forward.
Boom!
The massive hand in the sky exploded instantly, shattering into pieces, while the force of the punch continued to surge toward Qingyang Zhenren.
"Xuan Yuzi! It's you again!!"
Qingyang Zhenren roared in fury, his eyes practically spitting fire.
Last time, it was this vile old creature who ambushed him from behind and dunked him into a pool of filth.
"Do not harm my young master!"
Xuan Yuzi spread his arms wide, shielding Qin Zi, and declared righteously.
Qin Zi was stunned.
And Qingyang Zhenren was also momentarily taken aback. Then, he sneered, "Old ghost Xuan Yuzi, you’ve really regressed. You were carefree in your youth, but now you’ve reduced yourself to being someone’s lapdog?"
"You don’t know a thing!"
Xuan Yuzi retorted without missing a beat, snorting coldly, "I’m like a wise bird choosing the right tree to perch on. Do you know what that means? It means I’m a fine bird! But forget it, you're too washed up to understand even if I explained it."
His face showed clear disdain.
"Insolence!"
Qingyang Zhenren's face turned crimson as he bellowed in rage, "This won't end today until one of us dies!"
Instantly, his aura surged to its peak. His entire body ignited like a blazing flame, illuminating half the sky.
"This old geezer is going all out."
Xuan Yuzi didn’t dare to be careless. He too unleashed his trump card, taking a deep breath and clenching his fists tightly.
Tear—
His clothes burst apart, revealing his strong, muscular body, shining like a golden statue.
The Vajra Indestructible Body technique!
"Qingyang, you think you can intimidate me? Try to crush me if you dare! I’ll shatter your eggs!"
Xuan Yuzi shouted provocatively.
"Die!"
Qingyang Zhenren wasted no words, charging directly. The light around him condensed into a massive meteor, barreling toward Xuan Yuzi with unstoppable momentum.
"Break!"
Xuan Yuzi’s body glowed with golden light, and he threw a powerful punch. The force of the strike tore through the air, colliding head-on with the meteor.
Boom!
The explosion was massive, sending fragments of the meteor flying everywhere. At the same time, Xuan Yuzi was knocked back several dozen meters.
Whoosh—
Just as Xuan Yuzi was preparing to counterattack, the meteor shot up in a graceful arc, disappearing over the horizon.
A voice echoed from the distance, as if trying to save face: "Don’t think I don’t know your master is nearby! Otherwise, today I would have killed you!"
Soon, the voice faded away.
"Tch, can’t even fight but still acts tough," Xuan Yuzi snorted in disdain.
Then, he turned to the dumbfounded Qin Zi, bowed, and said fawningly, "I am Xuan Yuzi, at your service, young master."
Qin Zi took a deep breath and asked with some anticipation, "Were you once my father's servant?"
"No, I’m a newly acquired servant."
Xuan Yuzi chuckled flatteringly.
Qin Zi felt a bit disappointed. If Xuan Yuzi had been his father’s old servant, he might have known about his father’s past identity.
He had always been curious about his father’s identity, much like a boy named Cong who once asked his father, "Are we rich?"
"Where’s my father?"
Qin Zi glanced around and asked.
Just then, Qin Chuan’s voice echoed from the sky, "You two go ahead, I have some matters to attend to."
"Father?"
Qin Zi was startled and quickly looked up at the sky but saw no trace of his father.
"Young master, let’s go," Xuan Yuzi said eagerly, his fawning demeanor almost second nature, so much so that it looked utterly convincing.
"Alright."
Qin Zi nodded, and the two of them flew toward the exit of the Forbidden God Mountain.
Though it seemed they had not gained much, in fact, they had reaped quite a bit.
Qin Zi had robbed countless ancient experts, filling his coffers to the brim, profiting immensely from their fortunes.
As for Xuan Yuzi, latching onto Qin Chuan’s colossal "leg" was enough to make him too excited to sleep for days. The other opportunities in the Forbidden God Mountain now seemed irrelevant to him.
In the sky.
Qin Chuan flew for a while until he arrived at a city.
This was an ordinary city, not too large, and its residents were neither too powerful nor too weak.
The strongest individual in the city was at the peak of the True God realm.
Thud!
Standing at the city gate, Qin Chuan casually tossed the unconscious Zhao Ri onto the ground.
Dust flew up as Zhao Ri hit the ground with a heavy thud.
People around them turned to look.
"What’s going on?"
"Who is this? What’s he doing? Why did he throw a beggar on the ground?"
"I don’t get it."
"Still, tossing beggars in front of the city gate doesn’t seem appropriate. It ruins the city’s image."
"Could he be challenging the city lord’s authority?"
The onlookers whispered among themselves, but no one dared to step forward. From Qin Chuan’s demeanor, they could tell he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
"Which powerful individual graces our White Sun City? What business brings you here?"
A majestic voice suddenly rang out from the heart of the city as a massive illusory sky rose into the air.
A divine aura belonging to a Heavenly God realm expert spread out, covering tens of thousands of miles, changing the very color of the heavens.
"It’s the city lord!"
"The city lord has broken through to the Heavenly God realm!"
Many in the crowd exclaimed in awe, thrilled that the stronger their city lord became, the more secure their city would be.
"Welcoming me doesn’t have to be this grand, does it?"
Qin Chuan saw through the city lord’s attempt at intimidation, so he stomped his foot.
Boom!
Instantly, the city lord’s Heavenly God pressure was lifted off the ground like turf being peeled away and thrown back.
Pfft!
A muffled groan echoed from the city lord’s residence.
Qin Chuan glanced toward the city lord’s mansion and said coolly, "No need to be alarmed. I’m here on personal business. I’ll leave once I’m done."
With that, he waved his hand, and a rope of energy lifted Zhao Ri, hanging him from the top of the city gate.
As Zhao Ri dangled there, all his clothes mysteriously slipped off, leaving him completely exposed.
The young eagle soared in the wind.
Gasp!
"What a robust physique!"
"This..."
"Sister, I have a wild idea..."
Many onlookers gasped, especially the women. Blushing, they covered their eyes but peeked through their fingers.
It was easy to imagine that, in the nights to come, many female "thieves" would scale the city walls, though no one would know what they hoped to steal.
"Until the rope breaks, no one is allowed to take him down. If you do, you’ll bear the consequences!"
With Qin Zi’s face, Qin Chuan swept his gaze across the crowd and said, "When he wakes up, tell him I said, he’s an idiot."
With that, he disappeared into the distance.
It wasn’t hard to imagine the shame Zhao Ri would feel when he woke up, hanging there naked and surrounded by gawking onlookers.
The anger from being deceived and the hatred from having his faith trampled would likely explode at that moment.
He might even awaken memories from his previous life, fueling his desire for revenge as he quietly grew stronger.
And the target of his vengeance would be Qin Zi!
