All four had an ugly expression by this point. They were world-renowned, standing at the peak in all aspects- whether it be their personal power or background.
âLi! Youâre too conceited!â Flying Sword Marvel lost her patience and shouted since they already had a feud prior to this.
âHmm, so what? Run before I get the urge to kill.â He smiled.
âI see, do you really want to take the four of us on?â Shen Guzhan finally showed some emotion - anger. A supreme existence like him demanded respect, and he has been shown none by Li Qiye.
âThe four of you? Thereâs no difference between four ants and forty ants.â Li Qiye chuckled, making light of his opponents.
Both his foes and the spectators took a deep breath. Members of the latter exchanged glances.
Semi-sword God and the others were top experts in this generation yet Li Qiye claimed that he could kill forty of them with no problem. It was as if he had nothing but disdain for other experts in the entire world.
âNo wonder why heâs called Fiercest.â One expert clicked his tongue and said.
Everyone felt that he was the only one who would say such a domineering statement. Only the two current progenitors would feel the same way.
Shen Guzhan and the others started thinking while having a murderous glint in their eyes. It was tough for masters like them to swallow this humiliation.
âYou all going to fight or run?â The bull decided to aggravate the issue and laughed: âJust run if you donât have the courage. Semi or whatever, run back to Metalkin Divine Court and tell them that the marriage pact with Garden of God is nullified.â
The prime minister and the sword god seemed to be on the verge of exploding after listening to the bull.
âNo outsider can interfere with our business unless theyâre ready to die.â The prime minister snorted and threatened: âThere will be no place to hide and no grave for them, not even at the edge of the world.â
The prime ministerâs threat wasnât empty. He wasnât only speaking to the bull either but to let the prodigy know to back off. Otherwise, he would antagonize the divine court and all the metalkins. This wouldnât end well for him.
âIâm so scaredâ¦â The bull put on a frightened expression and ran to the back: âMy old bones canât handle this. Little girl, did you hear that? They say they want to destroy our Academy of Light. What should we do now?â
The troublemaker wanted to drag the academy down to the muddled water too.
Holyfrost has been standing to the side and didnât interfere. Everyone thought that she was just watching. Now, some shuddered after hearing this.
Even Shen Guzhanâs group became startled. After all, Holyfrost was on the same level as Metalkin War God and Brightking Buddha.
âYour Majesty, Academy of Light is a sacred beacon in Immortal Lineage, please donât mingle with these ruffians.â Flying Sword Marvel immediately persuaded: âThis would bring trouble to the academy on top of ruining its reputation.â
The marvel was weaker than her allies but much more influential due to her relationship with a current progenitor.
Moreover, she had a good point as well. The academy was famous for being a beacon of light. Any mistake from Holyfrost Emperor could damage this golden reputation.
âThe marvel is right.â Semi-sword God nodded: âYour Majesty, please think of the bigger picture and stop being friends with this manâ¦â
âI donât need you to tell me what to do. Iâm perfectly aware of my own actions but if you wish to teach me otherwise, Iâll take on all four of you.â Holyfrost coldly said.
The crowd didnât expect such a strong response from her since this was different from her normal demeanor.
âHolyfrost Emperor is more aggressive than I thought.â One curious spectator murmured.
âWhat do you know?â An ancestor shook his head: âTheyâre not on the same level. Sheâs far stronger than them with more achievements. She doesnât need them to tell her what to do.â
Many experts thought about it and accepted this reasoning. Why would a twelve-palace emperor need to listen to weaker cultivators? She was already nice enough by not slapping them right now.
The other group turned red after hearing this, especially Flying Sword Marvel who had an awkward expression.
All along, even stronger characters have treated her with reservation. This wasnât the case here with Holyfrost Emperor who dished out nothing short of a verbal slap.
âHaha, little girl, well said.â The bull joined in: âYou know, others are probably thinking that youâre a pushover since you havenât done anything in so long. Go, give it a shot, see if you can kill them within five moves, let the world witness your murderous light. That was the old geezer Desolate Saintâs expertise.â
The other four became alarmed. They could probably take on Li Qiye four-on-one but with Holyfrost joining the fray? The situation looked disadvantageous.
In fact, the spectators became very interested. Everyone knew that Holyfrost had twelve palaces but very few actually saw her fighting with full power. It would be something to witness her in action right now.
âStop causing trouble.â Li Qiye smiled and shook his head.
âItâs too late for you all to leave now. I will give you the chance to attack first so people wonât call me a bully.â He then walked forward and stared at Shen Guzhan before casually speaking.
His foes turned ashen with rage after being viewed as ants. They have fought and won numerous battles in the past, never being treated like this before.
âYouâre really taking on the four of us alone?â The prime minister asked. His eyes darted once over at Holyfrost Emperor.
He was clearly telling Li Qiye to not let her help.
âYou think too highly of yourself.â Holyfrost Emperor glanced at him and said: âYoung Noble Li alone can take you all down in two or three moves. He doesnât need my help.â
She was indeed telling the truth but others didnât buy it. They felt that she was exaggerating his abilities.
They certainly didnât like the comment but still heaved a sigh of relief. At the very least, thatâs one less powerful enemy for them.
âOkay, the four of us will see what you got!â The prime minister shouted and winked at the rest.
âNow!â Shen Guzhan roared after coming into an implicit agreement with the others.
âOne of us will die today!â The marvel gritted her teeth while uttering this common phrase.
She never got a chance to take him down as payback. Plus, she alone wasnât his match either.
This was no longer the case today. They had enough confidence to take on a twelve-palace emperor with this group!
