Outside the dojo of the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain.
Listening to the furious words of the Crane Boy in front of him, Qin Hong couldn't help but laugh. It was obvious the boy had been thoroughly shocked.
A beast, daring to insult my father?
Does he even deserve to?
"You? That's hilarious. Haven't you looked in a mirror lately? What makes you think you're worthy of my master's attention, let alone his kind words? Where do you get off?"
With that, a small fan instantly appeared in Qin Hong's hand—it was the Sky Burning Fan that Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning had given him. He looked at the Crane Boy before him.
Slap, slap, slap, slap!
"I told you not to call me a beast!"
Slap, slap, slap, slap!
"And to curse my entire family!"
Slap, slap, slap, slap!
"And to make my father speak nicely to you!"
Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!
"Why don't you just fly up to heaven?"
Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!
Qin Hong proceeded to thrash the Crane Boy. He had to admit, this Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was truly something.
Even though Qin Hong hadn't used any magic power or divine abilities, flames surged with every strike.
Before long, the Crane Boy was bruised and swollen, and the clothes made from his feathers were blackened by the flames of the Sky Burning Fan.
"This... this is the Heavenly Lord's Sky Burning Fan!"
"This belongs to my Jade Void Palace; how did you get it?"
"Hmph, you trespassed into the sacred land of the Jade Void Palace without permission, and now you've stolen the Heavenly Lord's treasure!"
The Crane Boy immediately recognized the Sky Burning Fan in Qin Hong's hand and roared in fury.
"You're talking about this?"
Qin Hong raised the fan high, his large eyes feigning a glance.
Slap!
"Who cares how I got here?"
Slap!
"Of course, your Heavenly Lord gave it to me!"
Slap!
"I'm so cute, so smart and clever, so lovable – and you dare call me a little beast?"
Slap!
"I think you're not going to make it out of here today!"
Slap!
"This fan is good for starting fires, and I'm in the mood for barbecue!"
Slap, slap, slap, slap!
Qin Hong showed no mercy to the Crane Boy.
If someone respects me one foot, I'll respect them ten feet.
If someone offends me by an inch, I will descend to the underworld and ascend to the heavens, cutting through past, present, and future!
What's more, in the original Investiture of the Gods Calamity, this Crane had often followed Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning in attacking disciples of the Sect of Interception.
The thought that the deaths of the curvaceous and stunning San Xiao sisters were not unrelated to him made Qin Hong uncomfortable, and he gripped the Sky Burning Fan even tighter.
In the original Investiture of the Gods Calamity, Sister Qiong Xiao was directly beaten to death by this guy with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and Sister Bi Xiao had her sword knocked away by this guy, and then Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning, that shameless old man, collected it into the Jade Purity Casket, where she turned into blood and died.
Now that this guy had run into his hands, how could he not teach him a good lesson?
He didn't know how long he had been fanning. At first, the Crane could still maintain its human form in front of Qin Hong.
But later, it directly reverted to its original form. Now, the Crane was completely bare, its feathers long gone under the divine fire of the Sky Burning Fan.
Not only that, but a faint aroma of roasted meat was wafting out.
If it weren't for the constant shouting from its mouth, Qin Hong would have thought he had fanned it to death.
But he had to admit, this guy had remarkable resilience. After being hit by a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure for so long, it was still alive and had the energy to yell.
"Waaah, you... you dare hit me, I'll report this to the Heavenly Lord..."
"Just wait until Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning returns... you're going to have a very ugly death..."
"Ah, wuah, not just you, but your dad, your mom, your whole family... Ah, it hurts so much..."
Despite the intense pain all over his body, Crane Boy's mouth didn't soften, and he continued to shriek.
Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!
"What the hell, you think you can get away with this?"
Slap, slap, slap, slap!
"I've got you pinned to the ground, and you're still so full of backbone?"
Slap, slap, slap, slap!
"You truly don't know what's good for you!"
Qin Hong slapped Crane Boy again and again, focusing particularly on his head and beak.
Feeling the impact of the slaps on flesh, Qin Hong felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Using a treasure Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning reluctantly gave him, only to turn around and beat his disciple with it, why did it feel so good?
Ah...
The sea, you're full of water!
Crane Boy, you really deserve a beating!
Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!
Another series of slaps, until Crane Boy's entire surface turned charred black and his long beak was "accidentally" slapped down to only half its original length, only then did Qin Hong stop.
Qin Hong stood with his foot on the disheveled Crane Boy lying on the ground, his mouth curving upwards:
"Dare you call me a beast again?"
"Still want to report me to your parents?"
"Still want my whole family dead?"
"Do you even know who I am? Do you know my background? You babble nonsense without knowing a damn thing!"
"You... Who are you?"
Seeing that Qin Hong had finally stopped, Crane Boy reverted to his child form, but he looked even more pathetic.
Only a few strands of hair remained, his mouth was swollen, and blood continuously flowed out. His body was in an even worse state.
At this moment, Crane Boy was nowhere near as arrogant as before. He looked up pitifully, tears welling in his eyes, at Qin Hong, who was stepping on his shoulders. He looked as pitiable as one could be.
"Heh, wouldn't it have been better if you acted like this earlier?"
"Listen up!"
Qin Hong put away the Sky Burning Fan and patted his chest with his chubby little hands, saying arrogantly:
"I am a direct descendant of the Three Pure Ones, the son of Saint Tongtian, Qin Hong!"
"Heavenly Lord of Morality is my eldest uncle!"
"Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning is my second uncle!"
"Saint Nuwa is my aunt!"
"Saints Zhunti and Jieyin are my uncles!"
"Dao Ancestor Hongjun is my grand-teacher!"
"You feathered beast, how dare you call me a beast... Are you saying the Three Pure Ones are all beasts?"
Shock!
"Huh?"
Crane Boy's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Qin Hong, whose face was turned up in a smile, with disbelief.
This little brat, the one who gave Saint Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning a headache, was the son of Saint Tongtian?
A large drop of cold sweat seeped from Crane Boy's forehead.
At this moment, Crane Boy had already cursed himself dozens of times in his heart.
He now felt a strong sense of fear and dread.
It wasn't because of Qin Hong, who was currently beating him, but because of the boss of Jade Void Palace, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning.
As the attendant by the Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's side and his favorite third-generation disciple of the Sect of Enlightenment, Saint Tongtian would definitely not intervene. Firstly, he hadn't done anything to Qin Hong, and secondly, he hadn't gained any advantage, yet he had been beaten to such a miserable state.
But Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning was different. Crane Boy had been by Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's side for many years and knew his temperament very well.
Saving face was Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's greatest characteristic.
No matter what, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning could not lose face.
No one dared to scold Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning, but he, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning, was now being cursed at by someone. If anyone dared to curse Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning, they would surely be directly suppressed and killed by Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning.
But just now, he, a mere Crane Boy, had actually cursed Qin Hong.
This Qin Hong was the son of Saint Tongtian, a direct descendant of the Three Pure Ones, and the nephew of Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning.
If Qin Hong was called a beast, then what were the Three Pure Ones?
Elders of beasts, old beasts?
Given Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's temperament, if this matter were to be known, he, Crane Boy, would absolutely have no chance of survival.
