Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor - Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Chapter 189 Breaking into the Palace (Vote for recommendation!)

Upon hearing these words, Li Jiaojiao was instantly stunned. The many women of the Palace of the Divine Maiden by her side were equally petrified, as were the onlookers who had been enjoying the excitement—all frozen in their tracks!

Was there actually someone… daring to curse someone from the Palace of the Divine Maiden?

And right in front of the Palace of the Divine Maiden’s Sect Residence no less?

Though comprised entirely of women, the Palace of the Divine Maiden, as one of the two dominant forces in Huang’an County City, conducted themselves with matching arrogance. They were by no means inferior to the Flowing Snow Sect in their haughtiness.

This much was evident from Li Jiaojiao herself.

Once, someone considered the Palace of the Divine Maiden too overbearing and couldn’t resist squabbling with one of their members. After that incident, that person was never seen again…

The truth of this matter remains unknown, but the Palace of the Divine Maiden’s reputation for defending their own is certainly true.

And it was precisely because of this reputation that Li Jiaojiao dared to be so arrogant.

“Were you… just speaking to me?!”

Li Jiaojiao, like a lion about to rage, stared at the man in white with her phoenix eyes, a rich chill exuding from her pretty face.

“Besides you, is there anyone else here?”

The man in white’s tone remained calm, as though he simply did not see the fury brimming within Li Jiaojiao.

“Very well, very well, very well!”

Li Jiaojiao said ‘very well’ three times, pointing at the man in white, “You’re the first to talk to me like that in front of the Palace of the Divine Maiden’s Sect Residence!

“Don’t think too highly of yourself; falling from a high place can be very painful,” the man in white spoke blandly.

That person was naturally Su Han!

As Su Han had never dealt with the Palace of the Divine Maiden, his presence there was to negotiate an alliance against the Flowing Snow Sect.

Of course, he might not necessarily take action against the Flowing Snow Sect, but if they refused to sell him that spirit stone vein, whether he would take action was another matter.

Before that, it was natural that Su Han would seek an ally for cooperation, and clearly, the Palace of the Divine Maiden—always at odds with the Flowing Snow Sect—was the best candidate.

What Su Han did not expect, however, was for the Palace’s members to be so presumptuous, drastically reducing his impression of them.

“Scoundrel!”

Li Jiaojiao cursed, abruptly closing in on Su Han, her slender hand swinging out in an attempt to slap him.

“Dare to insult me, today I will slap your mouth open!”

Su Han narrowed his eyes, his expression abruptly going cold.

To others, Li Jiaojiao’s mid-stage Dragon Blood Realm speed seemed incredibly fast, but in Su Han’s eyes, it was excruciatingly slow, like a turtle.

He grabbed Li Jiaojiao’s arm and, before she could react, struck like lightning, a slap landing firmly on her face.

“Slap!”

The crisp sound immediately rendered the area within a hundred meters utterly silent.

“This guy… hit someone from the Palace of the Divine Maiden?”

“That’s some serious soul power, to act against the Palace of the Divine Maiden’s disciple right in front of them. I bet he’s done for.”

“But it does serve them right, the Palace of the Divine Maiden has always been so overbearing. Someone teaching them a lesson is a good thing.”

“It doesn’t make sense though, the guy is only at the Dragon Vein Realm. I can sense it. Why is he so strong?”

All the onlookers who had been watching the scene were rooted to the spot, expecting Su Han to immediately flee the scene. Instead, he not only stood his ground but also slapped Li Jiaojiao!

“You’re courting death!”

“Audacious villain, how dare you strike a disciple of the Palace of the Divine Maiden, you must be tired of living!”

“If you have the courage, state your name, and don’t you run away!”

Seeing this, the other guardians of the Palace of the Divine Maiden changed their expressions. In a flicker of movement, they surrounded Su Han in the center.

“True to the people of the Palace of the Divine Maiden, all equally arrogant.”

Su Han, still grasping Li Jiaojiao’s arm, outright ignored the guardians encircling him.

And Li Jiaojiao, with her left hand covering her reddened cheek, had eyes wide with disbelief.

“You, you dare to hit me?!”

Once she had regained her senses, Li Jiaojiao screamed sharply, “I’ll kill you, you scoundrel!!!”

“Slap!”

As soon as those words had fallen, Su Han slapped her across the face again.

The slap left Li Jiaojiao’s cheek so swollen that it started to puff up visibly.

The once charming visage turned rather pitiful after being struck like that.

“Men don’t hit women because women are virtuous and gentle, and you,” Su Han said calmly, “clearly are not that kind of woman.”

“You dare to strike back? You truly do not know whether to live or die!”

Some of the guardians could no longer stand by and watch. If they let Su Han continue with such brazenness, where would the Palace of the Divine Maiden’s face be left?

If word of this incident were to spread—that someone had beaten a member of the Palace of the Divine Maiden right at their doorstep, without the need for others to react, the Flowing Snow Sect would probably laugh their heads off.

“Whoosh!”

A figure darted forward, hands clawed, reaching straight for Su Han’s throat.

Su Han’s expression turned cold, and without letting go of Li Jiaojiao, he suddenly kicked, slamming his foot into the person’s abdomen with a thud.

“Pugh!”

The woman spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turned pale instantly, and her body flew backward for dozens of meters.

“How daring!”

“Everyone attack together!”

“I really want to see just how powerful a mere Dragon Vein Realm individual can be!”

There were dozens of other guardians; all unleashed their attacks at Su Han.

This was the Sect Residence of the Palace of the Divine Maiden. Although Su Han dared to make a move against them, in their eyes, he definitely wouldn’t dare to kill!

“Seeking death!”

Su Han’s eyes swept across the crowd, then suddenly grabbed Li Jiaojiao’s arm and yanked her up, using her as if she were a staff to swing at the crowd.

Upon seeing this, the crowd instantly backed away, fearing that they would hurt Li Jiaojiao.

“You damned bastard, if my Master finds out how you dare treat me, she will definitely make you die a horrible death!!!” Li Jiaojiao’s anger seemed like it was about to erupt.

She wanted to attack Su Han, but alas, she was no match for him, and the frustration in her heart was as if about to explode.

“Slap!”

In the silence, Su Han slapped Li Jiaojiao once again.

Li Jiaojiao’s mouth bled, and she even spat out two teeth; evidently, Su Han’s force was not light.

“Still calling out?” Su Han asked indifferently.

“You dog, I…”

“Slap!”

“I want you dead…”

“Slap!”

“Ahhh!!!”

For each sentence Li Jiaojiao uttered, Su Han responded with a slap, regardless of what she said.

In the end, Li Jiaojiao completely lost it and began to scream towards the sky.

“This guy… is he too brutal? He even hits a woman?”

“What does it matter if it’s a woman or a man? If he had no strength, he would be the one getting beaten right now.”

“This is too cruel, isn’t it? Even knocking out teeth, what a pity for such a beautiful face.”

The onlookers around shook violently at the scene.

It was bad enough to strike someone, but to leave someone in such a pitiable state— even if Li Jiaojiao’s status within the Palace of the Divine Maiden wasn’t high, the Palace being humiliated like this at their own doorstep wouldn’t just let it go.

“Quick, report this! Say a madman wants to storm the palace!” a female guardian shouted shrilly.

“Storm the palace?”

Su Han suddenly laughed, threw Li Jiaojiao towards the distance, and then in a flash, he positioned himself in front of the grand entrance of the Palace of the Divine Maiden.

“Then today, this lord will truly enjoy storming through!”
