Chapter 472: Hurling Abuse At Each Other

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

As time went by, the atmosphere in the city became more and more depressed.

Everyone knew that Teng Yue would return.

Other experts would have waited for the empress to recover before sparring with her, but Teng Yue wouldn’t do so.

Therefore, there was only one possibility—Teng Yue was recuperating from his injuries. The later he returned, the better his recovery would be.

It wasn’t until the early morning of the eighth day that people started to sell breakfast on the streets. Although it wasn’t as busy as before, at least there was some life. As time went by, the commoners of Wu City found that the aboriginals didn’t harass them and felt more at ease.

At an unknown time, a man appeared in the city. The tip of his bamboo cane touched the stone slate and generated a rumbling sound that traveled very far.

“The Spirit Spear, Teng Yue!” He was discovered by the winged cavalry not long after entering the city.

As the news spread, many people went to the rooftops to stare coldly at the only man walking on the streets.

As for the rest of the people, they had hidden in their houses earlier on.

Many commoners heard people walking on the rooftops of their homes and would occasionally see a foot crash through their ceilings. They locked themselves in their houses with trepidation and didn’t know what was happening.

A guard rushed into the garden and reported, “Your Majesty, Teng Yue has appeared.”

“I know,” the empress said with her eyes closed.

“Report again when he is about to arrive,” Ren Baqian said after hearing about the appearance of this person. He had been uptight for the past two days, but now felt relieved.

Many matters were like this; before the event, there would be all kind of conjectures, yet once it happened, it was useless to continue speculating.

Right now, everything depended on the battle between the empress and her opponent.

After a short while, someone came to report and stated, “Your Majesty, Teng Yue is about 400 steps away from the entrance.”

As the empress opened her eyes, a ray of snow-white light dazzled Ren Baqian.

The empress got up to go outside, and Ren Baqian whispered to a guard, “Get someone to bring out the box in my room.”

Inside this box were the concentrated skunk stink bombs and sonic bombs that he had brought from Earth.

Even though these weapons wouldn’t specifically attack one’s target, the empress had experienced the stench once before and should be able to resist the smell better than her opponent.

Furthermore, Ren Baqian reckoned that since the opponent was blind, his sense of smell and hearing should be more sensitive than that of an ordinary person. Thus, the effect on him would be greater.

This was the battle line for two experts in contention.

If the situation didn’t turn out well, he would throw these two things at them, which might work.

“There is no need to.” The empress’s voice drifted over from the front.

“Since he’s here alone, I will not employ any underhanded tactics,” the empress declared without turning her head. When she heard Ren Baqian, she knew what he was going to do.

“But he’s very unscrupulous. There is no need to be fair to him,” Ren Baqian whispered.

“Do you think we are similar in that sense?” the empress retorted.

“Your Majesty’s wisdom and strength are unparalleled! Your Majesty will also unite the world for thousands of generations!” Ren Baqian immediately changed his tune.

“Then just stay back and watch.”

When everyone came out of the mansion, they saw an old man who was wearing a black shirt and holding a cane. He was walking down the street from the other end. The sound generated as he tapped his cane on the stone street entered everyone’s ears.

Ren Baqian looked at him carefully. So this was the Spirit Spear, Teng Yue. He looked about 50 or 60 years old, sported a goatee, and had a face full of wrinkles. His very ordinary facial features were crammed on his face and looked disgusting.

Teng Yue stopped 50 meters in front of the crowd and announced loudly, “Qi Zixiao, the last time I visited, I left empty handed. At long last, it’s good that I am meeting you personally.

With your skills, only a handful of people in this world can beat you and only a few people are worthy of you. Why don’t you marry me since we are well-matched? Although I am not rich, I can still give you a dowry.”

Teng Yue laughed until his face looked like a dried chrysanthemum and even exposed his mouthful of rotten teeth. Ren Baqian felt his anger rising and wanted to bury this old b*stard in a cesspit.

“You said the same thing twice. Have you nothing more to say? I let you off last time. This time, you are presenting your head, so I will keep it,” the empress said casually.

“You have already recovered. No wonder you are confident. The number of people who want my head should be uncountable. If you, Qi Zixiao, want my head, I am afraid that you will have to wait for another 100 years,” Teng Yue carefully replied before laughing.

“Did Xiao Baichong send you here alone?” Ren Baqian interjected. He wanted to know whether only Teng Yue had been sent here or if other people had infiltrated Tianjing Basin as well.

“Xia Baichong? Haha, you are wrong. I was not sent by him. His job for me was only a one time transaction. Are you Qi Zixiao’s boy toy? A small little worm—kill yourself!” Teng Yue chuckled. His last two words were like demonic sounds that entered Ren Baqian’s ears.

These two words were spoken using a special method and could only be used against people who were much weaker than him. His voice could be used to influence the moods of others and make them feel that what he said was right.

As these two words entered the mind of Ren Baqian, he felt that they were correct. His life seemed meaningless, his eyes clouded over, and he felt that he might as well die.

All of a sudden, the metal chain in his mind suddenly sprang up. The several meter long chain extended into the sky, beyond the volcano, and even beyond the sky. In his mind, it was as if the chain was standing between heaven and earth while connected to the field.

After a moment, the metal chain retracted as one end turned into a spherical cage. Within this cage, a worm-like thing was dashing about.

The metal chain shook the cage from side to side as if it had found a toy and couldn’t bear to let it go.

Ren Baqian woke up from his hallucination and realized that he had almost been tricked. Since the others weren’t affected, he was obviously the one being targeted.

He immediately started cursing, “It must have taken a lot of courage to grow up like this and still live in this world. You are a waste of food that pollutes the environment. If you die, you will be making a small contribution toward making this world better. Why don’t you commit suicide? Even if you don’t do it for the sake of others, do it for the sake of your mother who once lived in this world. You are polluting the world she once existed in and are unworthy of being her son. Remember to drown yourself in a toilet so as to prevent the soil from being contaminated.”

Teng Yue was stunned that Ren Baqian not only didn’t succumb to his influence, but turned around to scold him. The words Ren Baqian used were awful, and Teng Yue wondered where he got those words from.

Teng Yue grinned and said, “Little fellow with a sharp tongue, I will tear your mouth in a moment and see whether you can still scold me.”

“You won’t have the chance to do so. Your head will be displayed at the front of the palace plaza,” the empress said coldly.

“A public toilet will be built above to soak your head in. Only one coin will be needed to take a dump on the fourth most powerful expert’s head, and I surmise that many people will be interested. They can reserve it for one month by paying 20 coins, two years for two taels of silver, or get a VIP package with privileged access that skips the line and comes with complimentary toilet paper,” Ren Baqian added.

“I’m very interested. Haha.” Xi Wanya started laughing.

“I’m also interested!” Zong Shen and Qing Ping laughed heartily too.

“You are seeking death!” Teng Yue’s face darkened with fury. The bamboo cane in his hand disintegrated as a long spear appeared in his hand and pointed at the crowd.

No matter how bad his character was, he was still the fourth most powerful expert in the world. Normally, nobody would dare to insult him this badly. Furthermore, the words of Ren Baqian were so offensive that he couldn’t take it. When it came to scolding people, he was no match for this little fellow.

Teng Yue didn’t get any undue advantages from his speech and was already hopping mad. They wanted to soak his head in a toilet and collect fees. They were simply asking for death.

Although his character wasn’t worth mentioning, he was still a highly ranked expert in the world who had spear skills that terrified others.

The turbulence caused by the motion of his spear seemed to stir up the air in Wu City, and the crowd felt the wind spinning furiously.

Although Teng Yue was still standing in his original position, his spear came across and tore through the sky. The tip of his spear occupied their entire field of view.

Even an iron man would be shredded by this spear.

This was the terror generated by the fourth most powerful expert in the world.

The empress made a slight move and slammed her palm across.

Boom!

The shock waves generated forced the crowd to retreat continuously. If Xi Wanya and others weren’t there to block, Ren Baqian would have become a kite flying in the air.

The walls surrounding the two combatants collapsed, followed by the the house in the courtyard.

The tiles on the ground between them turned to powder, and a gully one foot wide and half a foot deep was created by the spear.

Boom! The houses on both sides came crashing down one by one.

Crash! A gray head with a muddy face appeared from among the broken tiles.

Lin Qiaole was at a loss and wondered what had happened to the building, where it went, and why it had disappeared again.
