By this point, certain justifications existed for killing Li Qiye. It was tough to defend him when he worked with Xu Cuimei in taking down the statue.
Normally, he was untouchable by virtue of being the saber messenger of Vajra. Nonetheless, Sword Hero had both status and power.
If he actually wanted to kill Li Qiye, the latter being the saber messenger didnât matter as much.
âNone of your goddamn business.â Li Qiye glanced at him and said dismissively.
The vulgarity surprised the crowd. No one would speak in this manner when talking to such an important character like Sword Hero.
Sword Hero naturally didnât accept the disrespect from Li Qiye. His murderous intent was as thick as can be, not bothering to hide it in the slightest.
âBrat, do you think your status can save you? You canât do as you please just because you have him as a backer.â The rays in Sword Heroâs eyes could pierce the heart.
People were curious to know who âhimâ was. As an outsider, Li Qiye clearly had a backer in order to become the saber messenger. It had to be an ancestor from the temple, at the very least.
This was rather important since it could decide how other powers would treat Li Qiye in the future.
âIdiot, youâre blinder than a junior. I donât need any backer to do as I please.â Li Qiye shook his head.
âHow audacious, well, letâs see if you can back up your confidence. I will teach you a lesson and let you know that a member of Vajra canâtâ¦â
âIâm not a member of Vajra, donât flatter yourselves.â Li Qiye interrupted him and said: âPlus, how are you going to teach anyone a lesson when you have no skill to speak of? Where is your confidence coming from?â
The crowd took a deep breath after hearing this. Some smiled wryly in response. Li Qiye was this arrogant when dealing with Phantom and Hu Ben. Now, he was even more aggressive when speaking to Sword Hero, someone far above those two juniors.
Some who have been watching him got so used to it that they didnât think twice.
âIgnorant brat, this isnât the same as before. Sword Hero is a grandmaster!â One youth scowled.
âHeâll regret it soon enough.â Another added.
âHe canât take on His Highness even if heâs on the same level as Righteous Scion. His tongue will be the death of him.â One more assessed.
The more Sword Hero listened, the stronger his murderous intent became - virtually enough to freeze the area around him. The crowdâs experience worsened by the second due to the unbearable nature of his aura.
âThis murderous intent is unreal.â One ancestor commented, thinking about backing off.
It became apparent that Sword Hero would kill Li Qiye at all costs today.
âNo one will be able to save him.â Someone from the same generation as Sword Hero commented. He knew Sword Hero too well - this was a guy who would keep his words.
Sword Hero has been holding back before Archaic Sun King. Now, he had a venting target who kept on fanning the fire.
He stared at Li Qiye as if the guy was a dead man and uttered coldly: âBrat, give it everything you got. Letâs see how many moves you can survive. This date next year will be your death anniversary.â
âYouâre taking the words out of my mouth.â Li Qiye wiped both of his hands clean and said: âI think youâll last one or two moves at best.â
âWhat?!â Some audience members blurted.
âIs, is he serious?â One guy thought that this was unreasonable even for Li Qiye.
âThis is Sword Hero heâs facing here.â One youth added.
âHow is he so confident?â An ancestor shook his head.
Sword Hero wasnât Phantom or Hu Ben. Li Qiyeâs devilishness shouldnât be enough to make this claim.
âCan anyone in the world defeat Sword Hero that quickly?â An older expert asked.
Most thought that only an invincible dao lord would be able to do so.
âA supreme might not be able to do that either.â A clan ancestor replied.
The crowd thought of two candidates right away - Buddha Supreme and Righteous Supreme.
However, even powerful cultivators like them might not be able to defeat Sword Hero so quickly.
âHmph, anyone can boast.â A youth sneered.
âYour Highness, show him the immensity of heaven and earth, teach him a lesson!â A genius shouted.
âThatâs not enough, just kill him!â Someone else had a bone-deep hatred towards Li Qiye for some unknown reason.
At this point, Sword Heroâs eyes exuded a terrible beam, capable of piercing through the earth.
