Chapter 608: Chapter 607: Your Sword Is Too Weak
Dongmen Qing was a Half-Venerable, after all. Plus, Fang Mei hadn’t used her full power to charm him. He quickly recovered his senses, his wariness instantly soaring to its peak.
He himself was a master of illusion and bewitchment. For Fang Mei to be able to beguile him so casually was a situation he had never encountered before.
Nearby, Qin Ya saw Dongmen Qing, who had gone from being publicly condemned to suddenly looking extremely wary. He sighed to himself. ‘Sigh… crossing this woman is just your bad luck.’
“Shut up, all of you!!”
At that moment, Dongmen Qing’s sudden roar stunned the entire crowd.
Seeing that the crowd was cowed by him, Dongmen Qing then turned to Fang Mei and said, “It seems I misjudged you. So, you are also a hidden master.”
“A master? What master?” Fang Mei shrank back, her tone helpless. “I may have some small Cultivation, but before an elder of the Dongmen Family, how could I possibly be considered a master? Elder Dongmen must be joking.”
The sorrow in her eyes was enough to make everyone’s heart break.
Instantly, the crowd’s dissatisfaction with Dongmen Qing rose to another level.
Sima Qun stepped forward and said coldly to Dongmen Qing, “A master? You, a Half-Venerable Strong Person, are bullying a defenseless woman, and you call *her* a master? Are you implying that she’s toying with you? Elder Dongmen, don’t you find that ridiculous?”
As soon as he spoke, the crowd voiced their agreement.
Dongmen Qing was now in a position where he couldn’t explain himself, no matter how right he was. He didn’t know how to respond.
“He brought it on himself,” Bi Xiaoyu said with disdain.
“Indeed. If he hadn’t had crooked thoughts himself, none of this would have happened.”
Qin Ya smiled faintly, feeling not a shred of sympathy or pity in his heart.
Facing the crowd’s accusations, Dongmen Qing, a Half-Venerable, could no longer bear it. He took a step forward, let out a cold shout, and a powerful aura began to rise from him!
The voices of accusation gradually died down.
Even if they had been bewitched, they still had their basic survival instincts.
Faced with the oppressive aura of a Half-Venerable, they didn’t dare to step out of line.
“Hmph. I don’t care who you are. Anyone who dares to make a fool of someone from my Dongmen Family has never come to a good end. Today, I’ll turn this Tingchao Pavilion’s grand opening into its closing ceremony,” Dongmen Qing said, his aura menacing and his tone chillingly grim.
Hearing this, Fang Mei pointed at Qin Ya not far away and said, “But I heard that Inspector Qin has a great feud with the Dongmen Family. How is it that he’s still alive and well?”
At her words, the crowd was taken aback. Their gazes toward Dongmen Qing turned somewhat odd. ‘Hmph, see? Now your big talk has been exposed.’
“You… bitch.”
“Wait a moment.”
Fang Mei suddenly ran to Qin Ya’s side and said, “Inspector Qin is right here. He is charged with the Inspector’s duties from the Venerable Mansion. You can’t act so presumptuously in front of him.”
Qin Ya looked at Fang Mei, his brow slightly furrowed. His expression seemed to say, ‘Hey, hey, hey, you’re a Venerable using me, a mere King, as a shield. Is that really okay?’
Fang Mei, however, just blinked, as if to say, ‘This is your duty.’
Watching the two of them exchange glances, Bi Xiaoyu cursed ‘Vixen!’ in her heart. She snorted coldly and turned her head away in displeasure, adopting an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ attitude.
“What, does Inspector Qin intend to meddle in this matter?”
Dongmen Qing’s tone was grim, a trace of fear in his eyes.
Although he had never fought Qin Ya, a man’s reputation precedes him. The track record of slaying Half-Venerables was right there, leaving no room for him to be the slightest bit careless.
Qin Ya sighed helplessly, then said lightly to Dongmen Qing, “An Inspector has the responsibility to maintain order within the main city. This Tingchao Pavilion is not the property of the Dongmen Family. If you intend to destroy it, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”
“Perfect. I was just thinking of testing Inspector Qin’s strength.”
He waved the two seductive women beside him away. A cold light then condensed in his eyes as the full aura of a Half-Venerable rose from him without reservation.
This was not the first time Qin Ya had fought a Half-Venerable; he had even personally slain several of them. Even so, he still didn’t dare to be the least bit careless.
“If you two are going to fight… please take it outside.”
Just as the two were facing off, Fang Mei’s soft and charming voice suddenly rang out.
Dongmen Qing’s aura, which he had painstakingly raised to its peak, instantly dissipated. Feeling incredibly frustrated, he snorted coldly, and his figure flickered, darting out the door.
Once outside, the two exchanged no needless words and flew directly into the sky.
BOOM…
Immediately, a terrifying fluctuation of energy erupted tens of thousands of feet in the air!
A clash at the Half-Venerable Level instantly attracted the attention of many people.
“Look, that’s Dongmen Qing of the Dongmen Family! He’s fighting someone.”
“Huh? That’s Inspector Qin Ya.”
“What’s going on? How did he get into another fight with the Dongmen Family? This is turning into a feud to the death. Just how deep is this hatred and resentment?”
“Let’s go watch! Another good show is starting.”
The various powers, catching wind of the news, all turned their attention to the developing battle.
Meanwhile, within the Dongmen Family, Dongmen Zhenhai was stunned the moment he heard the news. After all, once he understood the threat Qin Ya posed, he had given a direct order for his people not to move against Qin Ya for the time being. He never expected another fight to break out so soon.
‘Sigh, are the fates of my Dongmen Family and Qin Ya just destined to clash?’
This Venerable Strong Person couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, feeling a headache coming on. If Qin Ya were just some lone cultivator, he would have shamelessly struck him down himself. But this was the main city, Meiying Venerable’s territory. No matter how strong the Dongmen Family was, they couldn’t easily make a move against Qin Ya, who held the position of Inspector.
‘Forget it… I’d better go take a look myself.’
At this moment, tens of thousands of feet above Tingchao Pavilion, a heated battle was underway.
Although Qin Ya had been tricked by Fang Mei into fighting Dongmen Qing, he himself held no goodwill toward the Dongmen Family and was happy to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH… Dongmen Qing held a long, cyan sword. Sword Light flared, forming what looked like a celestial curtain as it enveloped Qin Ya.
But Qin Ya was seen holding a spear. The Four Symbols True Intent circulated as he suddenly thrust forward. Baring its fangs and claws, Thunder surged alongside a sky-scorching Flame. They gradually intertwined mid-air to form an enormous Thunder Flame Spear Aura that shot toward the Sword Curtain.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…
Rumbling explosions erupted continuously, causing the void to tremble.
Before the incomparably violent Thunder Flame Spear Aura, the Sword Curtain shattered like glass. Streaks of Sword Qi scattered, dissipating after sweeping through the clouds.
“As expected of the prodigy who could kill Old Eighth.”
Dongmen Qing’s gaze sharpened, a hint of surprise on his face. He then gave a cold smile and raised his hand, unleashing another Slash of Sword Qi that blasted the Thunder Flame Spear Aura apart.
“Your sword… is too weak.”
Qin Ya stated indifferently. One must know, he had once battled Xiao Jianfeng from the River Mountain Box for almost two hours. The Sword Dao from that fight was still fresh in his memory. In comparison, Dongmen Qing’s was… an unsightly mess!
“It doesn’t matter. I’m not proficient in the Sword Dao myself, anyway.”
