The Ruffians Named Qin

After giving everyone present a terrifying display of his might, Qin Hao withdrew his Primordial Dragon Emperor Dharma Avatar.

The massive dragon body disappeared into the void section by section. That pair of eyes, which seemed to pierce through time and space, took one last look at this world before slowly closing. As the dragon's body dissipated, the oppressive dragon might that had left everyone breathless receded like an ebbing tide.

Xiong Da lay sprawled on the ground, his entire body still trembling. The fear in his small, round eyes had not yet completely faded. He did not stand up; it wasn't that he couldn't, but rather that he didn't dare to.

Although the avatar had vanished, the sense of submission rising from the depths of his soul remained etched in his bones, lingering for a long time.

"Human brat!" a deep voice rang out from the seat of honor. The Emperor of the Myriad Demon Kingdom finally spoke. He stood up from his throne, looking down at Qin Hao from above, his profound eyes carrying a cold, scrutinizing gaze.

"The Primordial Dragon Emperor Dharma Avatar, where did you get it? Do not attempt to lie to me; you cannot afford the price."

The legacy of the Primordial Dragon Emperor represented the will of the dragon race's progenitor and the glory of the ancestor of all demons. Such a thing should never appear on a human.

Hearing Ji Lie's threat-laced words, Qin Hao looked up at the other party and smiled.

Qin Hao carelessly rubbed his ear and said in an extremely flat tone, "Although you are the Emperor of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, please mind your tone when speaking to me. Are you threatening me? I'm sorry, but threats are the one thing I absolutely do not tolerate."

As Qin Hao's words fell, the Myriad Demon Hall descended into a deathly silence. The higher-ups of the Myriad Demon Kingdom widened their eyes, staring at Qin Hao in utter disbelief.

What did this human brat just say? He told the Emperor to mind his attitude? Who does he think he is? Even if you have a human Immortal Emperor backing you, you have no right to speak to the Emperor like that!

Let alone you, even the Immortal Emperor behind you wouldn't dare act so brazenly in front of the Emperor!

Ji Ruxue's mind went completely blank. Looking at Qin Hao and his nonchalant face, she felt as if her heart was about to stop beating.

"He's crazy! He is absolutely insane! That is my father, the Emperor of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, a supreme mighty figure at the Immortal Emperor realm. How dare you speak to my father like that!"

Ji Ruxue tugged at Qin Hao's sleeve, looking at him with eyes that practically begged him to stop talking.

Next to Ji Lie, Ao Bing looked at Qin Hao with an amused expression, thinking to himself, "He really is his seed. They're all the same, reckless and capable of infuriating someone to death without paying the price."

Ji Lie sat back on his throne, his eyes narrowing as his fingers continuously tapped the armrest of the dragon chair.

"Mind my attitude when speaking to you? Human brat, do you know who you are talking to? This is the Myriad Demon Kingdom! It is the territory of our demon race, not a place for you humans to run wild!"

As he spoke, an Immortal Emperor-level aura pressed down on Qin Hao like a roaring tsunami and a collapsing mountain.

The pressure of an Immortal Emperor descended. It was not the Immortal Lord aura like that of Xiong Da, but the aura of an Immortal Emperor, the true, pure, and unreserved might of an Immortal Emperor. It was not a mountain; it was the sky itself. It felt as if the entire firmament was crashing down, as if the whole world was telling Qin Hao: Kneel!

Bang!

With a loud crash, Qin Hao was slammed heavily onto the ground, shattering the floor beneath him into pieces.

"Human brat." Ji Lie's voice was freezing cold. "I will ask you one more time, where did you get the Primordial Dragon Emperor Dharma Avatar? Of course, you can choose not to answer, but I will just search your soul!"

Ao Yu had already transformed back into his human form from his dragon form and stood in the corner of the grand hall, watching this scene. His face was still covered in dust, his clothes were torn, and his body still bore the bruises from being thrashed by Qin Hao.

However, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, carrying a suppressed, enduring, and secretively delighted smile.

"Arrogant fools always get their comeuppance! Brat, weren't you acting so tough just now? You arrogant bastard, to actually dare tell an Immortal Emperor to mind his attitude. Now look what you've done, you've offended the Emperor."

"Having angered the Emperor, no matter what human faction is backing you, don't even dream of walking out of the Myriad Demon Kingdom alive. You still want to become Dao Companions with Ruxue? You'd better figure out if you can even survive first!"

Ao Yu thought triumphantly. But right at this moment, Qin Hao, whom he considered a dead man walking, struggled to lift his head and looked at Ao Bing, who was beside Ji Lie.

"Give me a hand, don't just stand there watching!"

Before Ao Bing could speak, Ao Yu jumped out:

"Insolent! What kind of thing are you? First you disrespect the Emperor, and now you dare to order my father around! You, a mere human, act lawlessly in my Myriad Demon Kingdom, and you still expect my father to show leniency and plead for you? Wishful thinking!"

Ji Lie, who was currently suppressing Qin Hao, was also taken aback. There were only two Immortal Emperors present. First, this kid spoke disrespectfully to him, and now he was ordering the Northern Wasteland Demon Emperor around with the tone of a superior. This human brat was practically trying to offend both of them to the death!

Ji Lie withdrew the pressure he had imposed on Qin Hao, turned his head, and looked at Ao Bing. "Do you want to handle him yourself?"

Ao Bing shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at Ji Lie. "Emperor, let him go. You cannot touch this kid."

The moment these words fell, the Myriad Demon Hall exploded in an uproar. The higher-ups of the Myriad Demon Kingdom looked at each other in dismay. Had they heard correctly? The Northern Wasteland Demon Emperor, a Dragon Immortal Emperor, the father of Ao Yu who had been swung around like a whip by Qin Hao, actually told the Emperor to let him go after Qin Hao had spoken disrespectfully to him?

"Father!!!" Ao Yu couldn't sit still anymore. When he heard the Emperor say he would hand Qin Hao over to his father to deal with, he had already prepared to take Qin Hao from his father's hands and torture him thoroughly to wash away the humiliation of being played with.

Yet in the end, his own father actually said to let this kid go? How could Ao Yu accept this?

"Father! This human brat is arrogant and defies everyone. He disrespected the Emperor and disrespected you. How can you..."

"Shut up!" Ao Bing's voice wasn't loud, but Ao Yu's words came to an abrupt halt.

"I haven't even scolded you yet. Inferior in skill, instead of properly reflecting on yourself, you actually thought of using this method to get revenge. Are you really my son? Back in the day, I... ahem, let's put my matters aside for now. My Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan is protecting this kid. Touching him means making an enemy of my Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan."

Saying this, Ao Bing looked around. "My words, who agrees, and who objects?"

Ji Lie took a deep look at Ao Bing. He knew that Ao Bing definitely wouldn't favor a human without reason. There had to be a reason behind it, and moreover, that human brat seemed to know Ao Bing.

Thinking of this, Ji Lie spoke up, "Brother Ao, can you tell me the reason?"

"The reason is very simple. If anything happens to this kid in the Myriad Demon Kingdom, those hundred-plus hooligans surnamed Qin from the human race will immediately come over and turn our Myriad Demon Kingdom completely upside down."
