Chapter 423: Slapping the Crown Princess

He had expected that such a threat would throw the fat man and everyone in the manor into disarray, sending them fleeing in terror.

Upon seeing this, Liang Qingming swayed once more.

He saw that the people inside the manor were completely unfazed by his words—some were cultivating, some cooking, some washing clothes, others simply shaking their heads. They didn't care at all!

The fat man directly below him, in particular, looked up with an expression of utter disdain, as if he were looking at an idiot.

What the hell!

What kind of situation was this?

Shouldn't a mere two-star early-stage master teacher from a first-tier kingdom be trembling with fear and speechless upon seeing a supreme expert like him?

Master teachers are the strongest within their own rank, but a significant disparity in cultivation level makes even their power useless!

It was one thing for the person he wanted to see not to appear, but even a fat man who hadn't reached the Dingli realm was acting so brazenly?

Did they not know he could kill?

This was simply too disrespectful!

As the dignified Imperial Guard Commander, a late-stage supreme expert, he commanded awe wherever he went, with people bowing in submission. A single shout from him, and even King Mo Tianxue of Tianwu Kingdom would likely kneel instantly...

Yet a low-cultivation fat man from a small manor dared to show contempt!

Damn their contempt!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, when he heard the fat man's voice continue.

"Count to three? Then go ahead and count quickly," the fat man said. "Don't say I didn't warn you, because these might be the last three numbers you ever count in your life..."

"Holy crap!"

Liang Qingming's face darkened, and he felt smoke rising from his head.

He was the one who was going to kill them, yet they were saying these would be his last three numbers...

Where was his dignity as a supreme expert?

You damned fat man, I'm going to chop you into pieces...

His face was ashen, and he was so furious he felt he could explode. Just as he was about to erupt in anger and kill a few people to show them not to provoke him, he heard a creak from the main hall directly below, and three figures emerged.

The first was a middle-aged man in his thirties, followed by two elderly men dressed in master teacher robes, indicating they were from the Master Teacher Pavilion.

However, even the strongest hall master of Tianwu Kingdom's Master Teacher Pavilion was only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, not worth his attention.

"What's going on?" the middle-aged man asked. "All morning, it's been so noisy."

The middle-aged man who had just emerged didn't even lift his head, but frowned as he looked at the fat man nearby.

"Reporting, Master," the fat man replied. "This fellow up there was spouting nonsense, saying he wanted to see Young Master. Are you kidding? What's Young Master's status? Is he someone this sort of person can just see whenever they please?"

The fat man stated righteously, "I was just about to tell him to scram."

"Hm, well done!" The middle-aged man nodded, showing strong approval for the fat man's words.

Liang Qingming stumbled once more.

It was bad enough that one fat man was foolish, but this middle-aged man, who clearly seemed to be the manor's master, was also acting this way... This was simply outrageous!

He had originally thought that since the others were from the Master Teacher Pavilion, it would be difficult to deal with the aftermath if he acted. But now he was so furious he felt he could explode, and he no longer cared about the consequences.

"Since you're looking for death, I'll grant it to you..."

With a furious roar, Liang Qingming pressed down with a large hand, and a profound power descended from the sky. A massive palm print slammed down towards everyone in the manor.

A perfected Ghost-tier martial art: Vajra Great Palm Print!

Unbreakable as Vajra, the palm print stirred a whirlwind.

Striking from mid-air, its power exceeded 30,000 ding; even a mid-stage supreme expert encountering it would instantly be crushed to dust.

After unleashing the move, he thought that upon seeing its power, the others would be terrified and no longer act as they had. Instead, he saw the middle-aged man look over with a calm expression, then turn his head and say, "Little Su, this fellow is yours to handle. Bring down the large bird flying in the air too!"

"Yes, Master Yang!"

The old man referred to as "Little Su" stepped forward.

This "Little Su" didn't look tall, nor did he have any particular aura. Most importantly, his legs were clamped together, and his face was pale, as if he had some unspeakable condition.

His hair was still messy, as if he had just been beaten up, without a trace of a master's demeanor.

To have such a fellow deal with him?

Were the people below all mad?

It wasn't just him; many experts and forces in the royal city who were secretly watching from the side were also stunned in place, almost having a seizure.

This was the Lin family's backing, a super expert brought by the Crown Princess of Xuanyuan Kingdom. If someone wanted to kill you, at least take it seriously and show some respect. What did this mean?

Sending out an old man with clamped legs and a pale face?

They were seriously underestimating him!

The arrival of Master Su and Master Ling in the royal city was a secret of the Master Teacher Pavilion, which no one had leaked. So, no one knew that this seemingly ordinary fellow was actually an incredibly powerful figure.

"Hmph!"

Just as everyone was feeling dizzy and bewildered, this "Little Su" raised his head and let out a cold snort.

*Crack!*

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like metal and stone exploding. Upon impact with the massive palm in the air, the latter didn't even have time to resist and instantly shattered.

Immediately after, Liang Qingming felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been stabbed by a sharp sword. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and he trembled, nearly falling off the savage beast's head.

"Is that... a Half-Transcendent realm expert?"

The other party didn't even lift a hand, only letting out a scoff, yet shattered his attack and made him spit blood. Even an idiot would know that this "Little Su's" strength was absolutely beyond his ability to contend with.

His pupils contracted, and Liang Qingming's body trembled.

Half-Transcendent realm experts were almost non-existent even in Xuanyuan Kingdom. Where did one come from in this first-tier kingdom?

Furthermore, the other party's aura hadn't dissipated, and a single word had such immense attack power... Even among Half-Transcendents, they had likely reached a certain realm and were no ordinary individual!

"This..."

Everyone who had focused their gaze on the scene now widened their eyes, barely avoiding fainting on the spot.

An attack unleashed with full power by a late-stage supreme expert was shattered by a single scoff, and the expert himself almost fell off the savage beast's head...

What in the world was going on?

"This... this master teacher, do you know him?" Mo Tianxue couldn't help but look at his daughter.

He didn't know who this "Little Su" was, but he was wearing the distinctive robes of a master teacher, which was obvious at a glance.

A single clear scoff had shattered the full-power attack of a late-stage supreme expert. Where did such a powerful figure come from?

Did he have to be so formidable?

"This..." Mo Yu also froze.

When Master Su and Master Ling arrived, she hadn't returned and hadn't met them. Immediately after, Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi underwent their assessment, and she hadn't stayed long either.

Therefore, she wasn't very clear about the appearance of two four-star master teachers from the Master Teacher Guild.

Moreover, even if she had been clear about it, she certainly wouldn't have dared to believe that someone would call a four-star master teacher "Little Su"... What kind of terrifying existence was that middle-aged man then?

"Come down!"

The shock wasn't over yet, when "Little Su," still bowing below, scoffed again.

*Whoosh!*

Like a sharp sword cutting through the sky, shaken by this force, the Lightning Golden Scale Beast in the air hadn't even reacted before its body swayed and plummeted straight down.

Dust flew everywhere. The group that had been so arrogant just moments ago, intending to slaughter Zhang Manor and kill Zhang Xuan, genuinely crashed onto the ground.

Thrown into a daze, and barely managing to regain her senses, Lin Long hurriedly looked at her father and brother on the beast's back. What she saw almost made her go mad on the spot.

She saw that Lin Lang, who was already unconscious, had his spine completely fractured from the fall. His breathing could cease at any moment; he certainly wouldn't live.

Lin Ruotian, who had just taken a pill and was still somewhat conscious, was now spitting up large mouthfuls of blood. With his old injuries and new ailments, it was hard to say if he could be saved.

Lin Long was going crazy.

"We came here for revenge..."

Yet they hadn't killed a single person, hadn't even met the culprit, Zhang Xuan. Her father and brother were almost dead, and she herself felt like spitting blood from the fall. What in the world had happened?

From inside the room on the back of the Lightning Golden Scale Beast, she hadn't known much about the situation outside, only having heard the conversation. She still thought Liang Qingming was deliberately going easy. Lin Long's face contorted in a ferocious expression, and she roared.

"Commander Liang, what are you doing? Quickly, kill him..."

"Kill?"

His body trembled, but Commander Liang didn't faint.

How could he kill him?

The other party was a Half-Transcendent realm expert! You want me to kill him? Or do you want me to commit suicide?

How could the Crown Prince, such a wise person, marry such an idiotic person like you?

"Kill me?"

Master Su looked over.

Although he had broken through in cultivation, the pain in his body hadn't disappeared, and he was already irritable. Seeing the woman who emerged from the beast's back immediately talk about killing him, his face darkened.

"No, no... Senior, please calm your anger!"

His body trembled, and Commander Liang waved his hands repeatedly.

"What are you afraid of him for?" Lin Long snapped. "He's just a master teacher from a first-tier kingdom. What can he do to you?"

Seeing her subordinate act so spinelessly, even directly calling the other party "Senior," Lin Long became even more enraged.

She was originally a very shrewd person, but her father and brother had rushed over, failed to kill their enemy with their own hands, and were almost dead from the fall. She had long since been muddled with rage.

"Underestimating a master teacher!" Master Su's face darkened. "Slap her!"

To be able to become a four-star master teacher, he was naturally not someone who was always benevolent. The other party's words clearly showed no regard for master teachers, and his expression became deeply grim.

"Yes..."

After a moment of hesitation, Liang Qingming finally turned around.

Even if it was the Crown Princess, there was nothing he could do. The person before him was a Half-Transcendent realm expert. If he dared not comply, all of them would likely die here today.

"Commander Liang, what are you doing?"

Seeing his appearance, Lin Long was startled. Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the former's body blur, and he was already in front of her, slapping her across the face.

Without any resistance, Lin Long was sent flying with the blow, landing headfirst on the ground, with teeth scattered everywhere.

Although she was a genius and progressed very quickly, limited by her age, she was only at the late Grandmaster realm. How could she withstand the attack of a late-stage supreme expert?

*Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!*

After giving one slap, seeing that the expert before him hadn't said to stop, Commander Liang didn't dare to hesitate and continued to slap her.

"You... you..."

After being slapped continuously several times, her originally delicate face swelled up like a pig's head. Even if Lin Long was dumb, she understood what was happening now. Her delicate body trembled with rage, and she looked again at Master Su, and then at the middle-aged Master Yang, revealing intense hatred.

From her birth in the Lin family to becoming the Crown Princess, everything had always gone smoothly for her. She had never suffered such great humiliation.

Such hatred could not be washed away, even if one emptied the waters of three rivers.
