167: Chapter 167 Central Continent Ranking

"Your mouth stinks, doesn't it?!"

Along with the voice came a slap that was fast to the extreme.

The sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man could not react in time; he spun through the air and flew out, knocking over several stalls along the way before falling onto a fish stall, left in a wretched state by the foul-smelling fish and shrimp.

This city not only possessed unique marine resources but was also an important port connecting to numerous islands in the sea and even Dongxuan on the other side of the ocean, so the flow of people was naturally exceptionally large.

After this scene occurred, Lin Qing and his group, who had originally only been noticed by those nearby, instantly became the focus of the entire street, and even Cultivators from other places with keen senses or those projecting their Divine Thought began rushing over.

Although the powerful figure of the God Realm corresponding to this city would not step forward as long as no one of the God Realm took action.

However, a city has basic order; it is impossible to act recklessly just because you are of the Spirit Realm, and the conflicts between ordinary Spirit Realm Cultivators are also regulated.

The conflicts between Cultivators, common in the outside world, became rare sources of excitement within the city.

They were often not interested in the fight between two Cultivators, but rather wanted to see the confrontation between the troublemaking Cultivator and the city's order after the law enforcement team arrived.

The sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man covered his left cheek, quickly cleaned the fish, shrimp, and vegetable leaves off his body, stood up, and pointed at Lin Qing.

"You are an outsider, why did you attack me for no reason? Do you think the city law enforcement team doesn't exist? Or do you look down on us local Cultivators?"

Lin Qing's lightning-fast slap made the man realize that he could not possibly be Lin Qing's opponent; his five hundred years of cultivation, which he took pride in, seemed like a joke in front of a Prodigy.

Therefore, he hurriedly expanded the scope of the conflict, not mentioning his own foul mouth at all, and instead elevated the friction between him and Lin Qing into a struggle between locals and outsiders.

Although this method was simple, it was very effective; some local Cultivators in the distance who did not know the sequence of events, upon hearing the man's impassioned speech, hurriedly accelerated toward this side, wanting to see who dared to bully their local compatriot!

The reason Lin Qing did not choose to kill the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man with one strike was that he had the intention of testing.

It was not to test the other surrounding Cultivators or the city managers, but to see how this man would react after receiving a slap.

Now that the test was over, tearing his mouth apart was a good choice.

Recalling that there was a mouth he failed to tear apart at sea before, this could be considered a slight compensation for that initial regret.

Lin Qing formed a claw with his right hand and sucked through the air, capturing the man into his palm; this so-called eighth-rank Cultivator with five hundred years of cultivation was no different from an ordinary person in front of Lin Qing.

"Stop!" "How bold!"

Seeing that Lin Qing was about to act, the Cultivators summoned by the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man could not sit still; some shouted loudly, and some had already leaped toward Lin Qing.

Lin Qing, gripping the man's neck, faced the crowd rushing up and said indifferently, "No one is to act rashly."

These local Cultivators thought Lin Qing was speaking to them, each showing disdain and continuing to rush toward Lin Qing.

"Kid, it's too late to regret it now!"

Only the people from Dongxuan knew that Lin Qing was actually speaking to them, telling them not to intervene.

For Lin Qing, their intervention was not help, but trouble.

Bang!

Facing the crowd rushing over, Lin Qing did not choose to use the power of his will; this was no longer the sea, and there were many eyes around.

However, the vast pressure of Spiritual Qi alone was not something these locals with their inherent superiority could withstand.

Under the pressure of Lin Qing's Spiritual Qi, they fell heavily to the ground one by one, unable to get up, and could only barely raise their heads, looking at Lin Qing with shock.

So strong!

After suppressing the others, Lin Qing placed the man in his hand on the ground.

At this moment, the man was trembling all over; he finally understood the principle that disaster comes from the mouth.

At this moment, he could only watch helplessly as Lin Qing covered his face with his hands, unable to make any move.

Just then, over a dozen figures flew in from afar, descending upon the sky above this area in the blink of an eye.

Standing in the middle was a young man with a handsome face, gentle brows and eyes, and a straight nose bridge.

As soon as he descended into this area, having already projected his Divine Thought before arriving, he knew Lin Qing was about to strike ruthlessly, so he hurriedly shouted to stop him.

"Stop at once!"

Before his voice had even faded, the long sword in his hand had already been unsheathed, turning into a stream of light and stabbing straight toward Lin Qing.

"It's Young Master Wang!"

The onlookers made excited sounds, as if they had seen an idol.

The man in front of Lin Qing also had tears in his eyes.

Saved!

Rip!

The excitement in the eyes of the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man suddenly vanished, replaced by thick astonishment, which then turned ashen.

He could not understand why, even though Young Master Wang had stepped forward, this outsider on the opposite side still dared to attack.

Are you a hothead?!

Lin Qing grabbed the man's body with his left hand and his head with his right hand, separating the two parts from the mouth.

After Lin Qing casually took a step to dodge the incoming Flying Sword, he looked at the two severed parts in his hands, tossed them aside, and nodded with satisfaction.

Satisfying!

Finally, the regret from the sea was compensated for.

High in the air, Young Master Wang's face turned black with gloom; he stared at Lin Qing and said word by word, "I told you to stop, are you deaf?!"

Lin Qing's five senses were incredibly keen, and he had long since pieced together the identity of this so-called Young Master Wang from the snippets of words from the crowd.

Wang Xiao, a True Disciple of the Central Continent super faction, Qianyuan Heavenly Palace; this major coastal city was exactly the jurisdiction of Qianyuan Heavenly Palace.

Not only that, but Wang Xiao himself was also a Prodigy-level figure on the Central Continent Young Master Rankings.

The Central Continent Young Master Rankings listed one hundred young men under two hundred years old in the Central Continent; not only were they outstanding in appearance, but their strength was also extraordinary, and each was a hot figure in the Central Continent.

Corresponding to the Young Master Rankings was the Central Continent Beauty Rankings, which, like the Young Master Rankings, selected one hundred women under two hundred years old with excellent appearance and strength.

It seemed that cultivation in the Central Continent was too prosperous; people's focus on Prodigies was no longer limited to the level of strength, as appearance and temperament were also valued by them.

It was just like how people in the previous life began to pay attention to entertainment levels after they no longer had to worry about food and clothing.

In Lin Qing's eyes, this so-called Young Master Ranking Prodigy was also nothing but worthless trash, and he just looked indifferently at Wang Xiao in the air, with no emotion flowing in his eyes.

However, this indifferent gaze turned into thick disdain in Wang Xiao's eyes.

Everywhere he went, he was treated like the stars surrounding the moon; now, there was not the slightest reverence for him in Lin Qing's eyes, which clearly meant looking down on him.

Unlike other passerby Cultivators, he already knew the ins and outs of the matter.

If one really had to talk about this matter, it was the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man who had been insolent first; he had originally intended to interrupt Lin Qing and then make the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man apologize to Lin Qing and the others.

Now, not only did he fail to save the man, but he was also being stared at by Lin Qing like this; he could no longer care about the fairness of law enforcement and was currently staring coldly at Lin Qing as well.

"Since you don't understand human language, today I will tear your ears off!"

Lin Qing was suddenly shocked.

There's a surprise?!
