Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 185: Hit the Son and the Father Appears
Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Hit the Son and the Father Appears
"Brother Cheng, I’m powerless in this matter; you handle it yourself!"
He Mu left behind these words and awkwardly fled using his movement technique.
After battling in the exchange combat, he was utterly trounced by Ling Chen, which left a shadow in his heart. He even had nightmares every night lately, waking up in a cold sweat.
Where would he find the courage to fight Ling Chen?
Watching He Mu’s rapidly disappearing figure, He Cheng was also dumbfounded.
He Mu was a genius of the He Family, a master at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, possessing a Super Spiritual Body, with Spiritual Power comparable to the Primordial Pill Realm.
Ling Chen was nothing more than a mediocre Divine Thought Master; it was impossible for him to break through his defenses.
Why was He Mu so afraid of Ling Chen?
Ling Chen looked toward He Cheng with an indifferent smile and said, "It seems the support you found isn’t reliable, is it?"
Upon hearing this, He Cheng’s complexion changed, and he shouted, "Quickly, protect me!"
"Whoosh!"
The guards that had been surrounding the inn entrance immediately formed a ten-layer human wall in front of He Cheng.
Seeing this, He Cheng finally felt relieved.
The cultivators watching from a distance were all stunned. Who was this kid that made members of the He Family act as if facing a formidable enemy? Even He Mu, the super genius from Tianluo Academy, was scared away?
"It seems that the lesson I gave you last time wasn’t enough!"
With a thought, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis surged from the Heavenly Spirit, passing through the human wall with a "slap," sending He Cheng flying away.
"A Divine Thought Master?"
All the surrounding cultivators were moved.
This youth was actually a powerful Divine Thought Master!
Even He Cheng had no time to react; clearly, this person was at least a mediocre Divine Thought Master!
"How dare you hit me?" freewebnσvel.cøm
He Cheng, holding his bright red cheek, trembled with anger.
Before, although Ling Chen had hit him, it was ultimately in the wild.
But this time was different; it happened in front of countless cultivators of Tianluo Prefecture!
How could he mingle in Tianluo Prefecture after this?
"How could I not dare?"
Ling Chen struck again, sending him flying with another slap.
This time, he hit He Cheng’s left cheek.
"Kid, this is a challenge to the dignity of the He Family. I won’t let you leave Tianluo Prefecture alive!"
He Cheng’s eyes were filled with raging fury.
When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
To be slapped twice in public?
"Have you all gone blind? Why aren’t you attacking this young master?"
He Cheng roared at those guards.
However, these guards were too weak; the strongest was only at the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
They were easily taken down by Ling Chen, one after the other.
After that, Ling Chen returned to the inn.
Soon, he came back out, followed by Piano Girl and her two companions.
The members of the He Family outside had already vanished.
"Young man, you better leave soon; otherwise, the He Family won’t let you off!"
A well-intentioned person advised.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Ling Chen thanked the person and then asked, "Where is the He Family?"
Upon hearing this, the well-intentioned person was completely dumbfounded and after a long while said, "You’re not looking to go to the He Family, are you?"
Ling Chen not only didn’t flee after striking a member of the He Family but also wanted to go to the He Family?
Was he walking into a trap?
Just then, a group of people was heading towards them from a distance.
"Dad, it’s him!"
He Cheng spoke, with a sob in his voice.
"Hm?"
Ling Chen looked over toward the other side.
Among the group, the person leading was a middle-aged man who exuded an aura of authority. With a dragon’s stride and a tiger’s stance, he stopped three zhang in front of Ling Chen.
The middle-aged man glanced at Ling Chen.
A look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
He hadn’t expected that the prodigy who had thoroughly vanquished his son, He Mu, would be such a young fellow.
"Are you Ling Chen?"
The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.
"Indeed."
Ling Chen nodded, fearlessly meeting his gaze.
"Speak. Why did you beat up Cheng’er?"
The middle-aged man asked coldly.
Regardless, one simply cannot humiliate He Cheng in such a manner in public.
He knew that his eldest son was no good.
But, it was not for outsiders to discipline.
Moreover, this act had struck a blow to the face of his He Family!
His He Family was, after all, the leading clan among the seven great families of Tianluo Prefecture!
How could they tolerate such humiliation?
"Who may you be?"
Ling Chen replied with a nonchalant smile.
He had seen through the middle-aged man’s cultivation level at a glance.
Merely at the early stage of the Primordial Pill Realm!
He had even killed the Deputy Palace Master of Tianluo Academy, Li Ze, who was at the later stage of the Primordial Pill Realm; why would he care about a cultivator at the early stage?
"I am He Gaoyuan, Family Head of the He Family!"
The middle-aged man declared proudly.
"Oh, so you’re the He Family Master! Perfect timing, I also wanted to ask you, how exactly do you educate the members of your clan?"
Ling Chen said with a smile.
Hearing that, the middle-aged man’s face turned icy, and he said harshly, "It is not your place, an outsider, to dictate how the Family Head educates his people!"
This youngster before him had the tone of someone who came to accuse and find fault, how could he not be enraged?
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Then it’s also not your place to meddle in how I discipline He Cheng!"
"Bullshit, I’m He Cheng’s father, since when is it your turn to discipline my son?"
He Gaoyuan bellowed in anger.
Ling Chen nodded knowingly, "No wonder He Cheng is such a screw-up, turns out he has a bastard like you for a dad!"
Hearing Ling Chen insult him too, He Gaoyuan was uncontrollably furious, pointing at Ling Chen’s nose and cursing, "Damned brat, you’re asking for death, aren’t you? If you want to die, I’ll grant your wish!"
Usually, within the entire Tianluo Prefecture, aside from the Palace Master and a few Palace Masters of Tianluo Academy, no one dared to disrespect him.
Now, a greenhorn dared to defy him?
"Heh heh."
Ling Chen snorted with laughter and said, "With your trifling level of skill, you have the gall to talk big?"
"Boom!"
Enraged, He Gaoyuan’s body surged with crimson Spiritual Power, a powerful aura sweeping around him!
"Do not think that just because you rely on the identity of a True Martial Academy student, I will not dare to deal with you! Killing you is out of the question, but giving you a lesson is something even True Martial Academy probably has no words about. And you really think that just because you defeated Mu Er, you can contend with me?"
He Gaoyuan stared coldly at Ling Chen.
Although he was only at the early stage of the Primordial Pill Realm, he possessed a Fire Spirit Body, and his Spiritual Power was entirely comparable to the early stage of the fourth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.
To deal with Ling Chen, who was only at the seventh or eighth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, wouldn’t it be like catching a chicken?
He had long learned from He Mu that Ling Chen’s cultivation was not high, it was only because he possessed the Heavenly Spirit Technique that he had defeated He Mu.
The Heavenly Spirit Technique might be strong against He Mu, but in the face of someone at the Primordial Pill Realm like himself, it was nothing!
Seeing He Gaoyuan employing his Spiritual Power, countless people were shocked and hurriedly fled to the distance.
However, Ling Chen sighed and said, "I may not be able to contend with you, but teaching you a lesson is no issue at all. I’ve noticed quite a problem with your He Family, it seems I have no choice but to take action today."
"Hahaha!"
He Gaoyuan laughed angrily, "You, just on your own? Do you think you’re fit to speak so boldly in front of me?"
It would be a different story if it was the Deputy Palace Master of True Martial Academy making this claim.
For an Academic Palace student to spout such preposterous bravado was simply laughable!
"Fine! Let’s see how you’re going to teach me! If you can withstand three moves from me, we’ll forget all about the previous incident!"
He Gaoyuan gritted his teeth and declared.
