Chapter 728: Overbearing

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

“I claim the seat of being the leader of the alliance. Whoever objects can die in my hand.”

Tang Shan snickered, his tone was very arrogant and his cold killer’s intent wiped the color off of the three Headmasters’ faces.

Whoever objects will be killed by him.

How arrogant was this? And how overbearing was this?

The three Headmasters had an immediate change in expression as they all felt the killer’s intent in the statement. They knew very well that Tang Shan was provoked by Ling Xian and decided to let everything roll out in the open.

After all, his goal was now in the open, what’s the point of hiding it now?

Therefore, only two paths were presented before them. They could fight, or they could back down. There were no more time to waste and no more hesitation allowed.

Yet they didn’t want these paths. If they chose to obey, their respective Houses will be absorbed by the Tian Xuan House soon or later. But if they fight, they will actually die.

Therefore, the three Headmasters didn’t make a sound as their internal battle intensified.

The only person who could keep calm now was Ling Xian.

His expression was calm and a soft grin hung on his lips. He looked calm and relaxed as per usual.

Since he had revealed what the Tian Xuan House wanted, he had successfully ripped off the last veil of this whole situation and it was time for him to face it. He wasn’t brainless to accelerate the situation to this extent, he merely didn’t want to waste any time with Tang Shan.

In the end, force was needed to settle all of this. So why play around? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?

They were merely cultivators at the peak of the completion level. If this was before, they could fight against him somewhat. But now, they weren’t even worthy enough to be his opponent.

“Headmaster Tang sure is aggressive.”

Ling Xian raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a teasing smile, “You are going to kill whoever objects. You sure are overbearing.”

“I knew you wouldn’t comply.”

Tang Shan glanced around and finally fixated on Ling Xian. He said without hesitation, “You will be the first one I kill.”

“What makes Headmaster Tang so confident that I will die under your hand?” Ling Xian smiled softly. This person was so overly confident and treated everything like he owned it. Where did all of this confidence come from?

“I am good enough to kill you.”

Tang Shan laughed, “I know you killed Mo Jing Lei and destroyed the Qing Ming House solo. But so what? The Tian Xuan House is not the Qing Ming House. We will kill you instead.”

“You overestimate yourself.”

Ling Xian shook his head and laughed, “You, me, and those three are neighbors. Isn’t it nice to exist in peace? Why must we try to absorb each other?

“You don’t even have all your hair grown in yet. What the hell do you know?”

Tang Shan snickered again and continued in his arrogant tone, “The Tian Xuan House is planning on ruling everything within 5,000 miles. Whoever tries to stop me will be quashed. That is the only result for my oppositions.”

At that, the three other Headmasters’ expression changed again. They felt anger and grief.

They were angry because this person was far too overbearing and his choice of words was extremely arrogant. It was obvious that he thought nothing of them. They were grieving because they truly didn’t have the capacity to be an enemy against the Tian Xuan House. They could only silently be humiliated and let him win.

Their fists tightened. Even the only girl of the group was now obviously angry.

It was obvious that Tang Shan had infuriated the crowd.

However, they didn’t care. To him, everyone, including Ling Xian, was just a pile of trash. There was no way they could stop him.

“You are all just a bag of trash.”

Tang Shan laughed in disdain, “To tell you the truth, if I wasn’t worried about spiritual stones, I would’ve killed you all a long time ago. Why would be sitting here wasting time with you all.”

“Worried about spiritual stones?”

Ling Xian captured this key word and smiled, “It looks like you acquired a powerful weapon.”

“That’s right. I will tell you honestly now. If you continue to choose to disobey, I will kill you all right now then throw your corpses out the door.”

Tang Shan glared at every single one of them harshly and continued, “I believe, the wealth accumulated in your Houses will make up for my loss.”

At this, the three Headmasters’ expression changed. The woman especially was so scared her beautiful face lost its grace.

They knew very well that even if they do form an alliance, they won’t be able to stop the Tian Xuan House from exterminating them. And now, Tang Shang was saying that he had acquired a powerful weapon.

This meant the parties were not of the same level. Why wouldn’t they be afraid?

“Now you are scared aren’t you? If you are afraid, then obey me and I can promise you that I can spare your lives.”

Tang Shan stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked extremely arrogant and he glanced around everyone and uttered out a statement that was full of contempt and killer’s intent.

“I am giving you three seconds to make a decision. If you are still hesitating when the time is up, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

At that, a gush of terrifying Qi rolled out and suppressed the entire place.

Instantly, the three of them turned pale. What kind of time were three seconds? He was forcing them to obey!

“One.”

Tang Shang spoke softly and continued to place his hands behind his back, looking assertive.

“Two.”

At once, everyone began to sweat. They were already stressed and under the pressure of the Qi and the time restraint, they were close to crumbling.

The only person who could remain calm was Ling Xian.

Not only did he appear relaxed per usual, he even had a smile on his face. It was obvious that he didn’t find Tang Shan threatening. The reason why he hasn’t made a move was that he wanted to see what choices the other three would make.

The result made him shake his head – a little disappointed.

The moment Tang Shan said “three”, all three Supreme Headmasters at the table stood up straight right away. Though what they said were different, the meaning was the same.

They were bending down.

The three of them were red in the face as they suppressed the humiliation they felt and expressed their willingness to follow him.

This made Tang Shan smile in satisfaction. Then, his gaze shifted to Ling Xian, who was sitting on the chair.

For one, he was already pissed off about this young man across from him. For two, Ling Xian was being far too obvious. Not only did he not express any opinion, but he was also lazily sitting on his chair.

“As expected, you refuse to obey.”

Tang Shan tightened his fists and cracked his knuckles. He then snickered, “Oh well, I will treat it like I am killing a chicken to feed the monkey. Wait until you see what I am capable of.”

“I see, killing a chicken to serve a monkey. I have the same intention.”

Ling Xian softly smiled, “Take out that proud weapon of yours. Or else you are no opponent of mine.”

“Why would I need a butcher knife to kill a chicken?”

Tang Shan laughed and walked towards Ling Xian in giant steps. Between steps, terrifying Qi rolled out.

“Since you refuse to obey, then I will send you on your way.”

Once his voice trailed off, the person made a move. A move of his fist shocked the sky and lifted debris off in all directions.

Everyone’s face changed at this scene. They felt both afraid and somewhat glad.

They were scared because of the terrifying capabilities this person had displayed. They were glad that they chose to obey rather than becoming enemies. Or else this punch would’ve made one hell of a bloody scene.

Therefore, just as they were about to close their eyes because they couldn’t bear to watch what was going to happen next, they found out in awe that Tang Shan was flung backward at an extremely fast speed!

Yes, Tang Shan, the person whose punch scared the entire crowd, that Tang Shan!
