Chapter 1230: Testing Each Other Ou

The White-Haired Boxer King was standing right in front of Yang Qi and looking at him imperiously, as though Yang Qi’s fate rested completely in his hands.

It was the immense confidence of someone who had come out victorious in thousands upon thousands of battles. Only someone who had killed countless enemies could carry himself like this, and it would cause most people who stood in front of him to tremble reflexively.

Yet that pressure didn’t do anything to Yang Qi. He was an Ascendant, and was actually a lot more impressive than the White-Haired Boxer King. In the impure lands, he had slaughtered his way toward the level of a god, and was infinitely superior to any disciples that could be found in the sects of the god world.

To Yang Qi, the White-Haired Boxer King’s confidence made him seem like little more than a frog in a well. Whatever battles he had fought through, they were definitely like children’s games compared to what Yang Qi had experienced.

“What did you just say, White-Haired Boxer King?” Yang Qi said, tapping his fingers together. “I didn't quite understand.”

“Don’t play dumb, Yang Qi. Only the two of us are out here. There’s nobody else to interfere. So just tell the truth. Did you kill that elder from the Missions Sanctuary? Furthermore....” Before finishing the sentence, he released some true energy that caused a whirlwind to spring up, ejecting all of the toxic mist half a kilometer away in all directions.

“Furthermore,” he continued, “were you the one who conned our Dragon Society out of fifty-five Paramount medicinal pills, namely, Double-Nines God-Dragon Starry-Sky Pellets? If I'm not mistaken, you impersonated Hong Lie and worked with Bai Yin to scam those two pieces of trash you were dealing with. It was a very treacherous and formidable plan, I’ll give you that.”

Obviously, the White-Haired Boxer King was interested in getting some information from Yang Qi rather than simply attacking him.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Yang Qi said, plastering a confused expression onto his face. “I came here to the Toxic Continent to look for medicinal pills, and found some. Then I went to the Missions Sanctuary, only to have one of the elders from your Dragon Society pull a fast one on me. Even though I completed the mission, he refused to give me any merit points. But in the end, I just chose to suck it up. As for anything else related to the matter, I have no idea....” There was no way Yang Qi would give any information to the White-Haired Boxer King. If he did, the man could instantly summon the law enforcement team and have him arrested.

Standing there calmly, the White-Haired Boxer King said, “Feel free to deny it, but I know you’re responsible. Look, I came here today to make some matters clear. Remember, I work for the Law-Enforcement God-Palace, so if I want to have you arrested, there are countless ways I could make it happen. In fact, by merely talking disrespectfully to a superior the way you are now, I could have you taken in. Got it? I'm not here today as your opponent, but rather to discuss business.”

“You’re a bigshot, and I'm a nobody. And I haven’t done anything wrong. So why would you want to talk business with me?” Yang Qi had no reason to believe him, therefore, he made sure to answer in a way that didn’t reveal any information. That way, if his conversation was heard by anyone else, it would be clear that he hadn’t done anything wrong. “Incidentally, I'm not a talented businessman by any means. So what business are you talking about? Considering you have the Missions Sanctuary under your thumb, you must realize that all I'm interested in doing is living my life as an ordinary disciple.”

“Still playing dumb?” The White-Haired Boxer King frowned. “Are you really going to force me to make a move on you?”

“What? You want to kill me? I didn’t commit any crime, or even do anything you could consider inappropriate. In contrast, you snuck around behind my back and are actually threatening to kill me. Do you really qualify to enforce the laws of the House of God Ordainment? That’s called knowing the law and breaking it anyway, and there are few crimes worse than that.”

“Let’s make this simple. What do you want? Whatever it is, the Dragon Society can get it for you. I know you have a special relationship with Jadefall, and we want some blood from her pet. If you can help us get it, we’ll pay any price. For example, is there some girl in the sect you've taken a fancy to? We’ll make sure you get in bed with her. Or do you want some special magical treasure? We’ll get it for you. In fact, if you have a grudge against someone, we can have them killed. I know you’ve had your issues with the Yue Clan. There are some important people in the sect who are from the Yue Clan, but a word from the Dragon Society will keep them silent. Or if worst comes to worst, we could just kill them all.”

“Oh really?” Yang Qi said. Inwardly, he was chuckling coldly, but on the outside, he tried to look as righteous as possible as he said, “Yes, I've had issues with Yue Tianlin. But they’re nothing more than the squabbling of lower-ranking disciples. It seems to me like you people from the Dragon Society are actually trying to get me to break the rules of the sect. Did you really think that, just because of a minor beef with another disciple, I’d want his entire clan exterminated? Wouldn’t that just weaken our sect? Why would I possibly want to do that? No, I'm not that kind of person, understand? Jadefall’s an important person, but I'm not. I just met her by chance and helped her with a minor task. How exactly does that enable me to get the blood of her pet? Incidentally, Yue Tianlin and I have turned weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk. Furthermore, it's a matter that relates to the strength and unity of our sect. Even if Yue Tianlin came trying to cause trouble for me, I’d do everything possible to resolve the situation.”

“Well said,” White-Haired Boxer King replied. At first, he had seemed a bit impatient when Yang Qi started talking, but now he seemed to have calmed down. “Such lofty words could only be spoken by someone with a truly wicked and villainous heart. Are you really refusing to work with the Dragon Society?”

“A nobody like me doesn’t qualify to work with the Dragon Society,” Yang Qi replied calmly.

“A nobody? Would a nobody notice me spying on them? I bet you want to form monarch godhood, don’t you? What if the Dragon Society helped by giving you the resources you needed? We could help you purify your body.”

“I do want to form monarch godhood, but I won’t do it by asking for help. Furthermore, I refuse to do anything that violates the rules of the sect.”

“What did you just say?” the White-Haired Boxer King growled.

“I don’t think I could’ve been clearer. You want me to break some sect rules, and I'm saying I won’t. If your leader wants the blood of Jadefall’s pet, he can go get it himself. What’s the point in wasting time on games like this?” Yang Qi knew it would be impossible to forcibly take the blood of the purrling.

“I get it,” the White-Haired Boxer King said. “You’re obstinate. Very obstinate. Alright, well considering I know you stole those fifty-five Double-Nines God-Dragon Starry-Sky Pellets to bolster your godpower, it's obvious you’re in need of godpower. And that means you can use a Ten-Directions Many-Heavens Pill! This pill was concocted personally by the leader of the Dragon Society! It contains his personal enlightenment of Paramount will convergence, and contains all sorts of uncharacteristically rare medicinal ingredients.”

He produced a bottle containing a single medicinal pill. The pill pulsed with a mist that created a bizarre and grotesque world around it. From what Yang Qi could sense, the pill energy of that world contained all sorts of godpower, as well as a crystallized core.

It was a Paramount medicinal pill that was definitely ten times stronger than the Chaos-Cavern Grand-Magnate Pill, with incomprehensible levels of godpower in it.

In fact, Yang Qi was ninety percent certain that if he could get that pill, he would be able to complete his monarch godhood. Unfortunately, considering it was in the hands of the Dragon Society, it might as well have been poison.

“What do you say?” the White-Haired Boxer King said. “It’s a good medicinal pill, don’t you agree? Work with us, and you can have it. I’ll even give it to you up front, before you accomplish the task. Considering how devoted you are to righteousness, I know you won’t just take it and refuse to keep your word. All you have to do is nod in agreement, and the pill is yours.”

“No,” Yang Qi replied. “Are you deaf or something? I'm not interested in medicinal pills. As I already said, I just want to live a normal life. I'm not interested in getting wrapped up with the likes of you.”

“Damn you!” The White-Haired Boxer King had run out of patience. He had tried everything he could think of to entice Yang Qi. However, all Yang Qi did was refuse him and talk about sect rules. He’d had enough. “In that case, I think you should just die!”

RUMBLE!

Without hesitation, he launched a fist strike. “Thousand-Worlds Imperial-Polarity Fist!”

A thousand worlds appeared, along with a massive blast of wind like the roar of a dragon. Godpower surged, powerful enough to change the face of heaven and earth, cause the sun and moon to sink into oblivion, and send all of creation into nirvanic rebirth.

It was an indescribable attack that would cause most people to lose their minds just from seeing it. And in the blink of an eye it was right in front of Yang Qi.

Obviously, the White-Haired Boxer King could deal with the consequences of killing a mere Quasi-God official disciple.

However, as the fist strike neared Yang Qi, it passed through him as though he didn’t exist! It was like a breeze passing through the leaves of a willow tree.

“I knew there was more to you than you were letting on!” Smiling, the White-Haired Boxer King continued, “I refuse to believe you could survive my Thousand-Worlds Imperial-Polarity Fist without using some sort of secret weapon. Only a Greater God could meet an attack like that, and you’re no Greater God! So how long will you last?”

“You're really ignoring sect rules and attacking me, White-Haired Boxer King? I’ve already made a recording of this. You’d better back down, otherwise I’ll send the evidence of your foolish actions to the elders in the Law-Enforcement God-Palace.”

“Who will you give it to? I'm a holy child of the Law-Enforcement God-Palace! I'm more important than the elders. The fact that someone as weak as you can fight me only goes to show that you have big secrets. And the sect will be very interested in getting that information! So get over here, traitor!”
