Either Kneel or Die

"You want this princess to kneel?!"

Princess Nanfeng was furious. She hadn't expected Qin Feng to be so brazen.

She was a dignified princess of the Great Xia Royal Family. What reason did she have to kneel before the Qin family? And besides, Qin Feng was a traitor to the Qin family. Even now that he was the God's Son of the Moon God Palace, he still wasn't worthy of making her kneel.

"Either kneel or die!"

There was nothing but chill deep in Qin Feng's clear eyes. His right hand slowly settled on the hilt of the Changkong Divine Sword. He was clearly not joking with Princess Nanfeng.

If she dared to say another word, he would unleash the Cutting Heaven Sword Drawing Technique without hesitation.

Especially with the Invincible Sword Heart empowering him, the moment he picked up his sword, there were no women in his heart—except beautiful rich women who were willing to spend money on him.

The entire crowd fell silent in an instant...

At last, they felt the domineering aura of the Archaic Era's Number One Heavenly Pride. It was completely different from his earlier, unreliable, cheeky demeanor. Right now, Qin Feng was a tyrant in full force: those who followed him would prosper, and those who opposed him would perish.

At the same time, everyone was eagerly anticipating what Qin Feng would look like at full power.

With his current cultivation at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm, his strength was simply too far below that of the other Heavenly Prides of his generation. Other than showing them his full power, there didn't seem to be any other way for him to win.

"Gulp!"

Princess Nanfeng couldn't help swallowing. She could clearly feel how terrifying the pressure Qin Feng put on her was.

But this concerned both the pride of a princess of the Great Xia Royal Family and the dignity of the Great Xia Royal Family. How could she possibly kneel before Qin Feng so easily?

Yet Qin Feng had made his terms perfectly clear: either kneel or die.

And Moon God showed no sign of stepping in to mediate. That meant Moon God was allowing Qin Feng to do this.

Fang Chang stepped forward and said righteously, "Even if we were in the wrong first, making Princess Nanfeng kneel and apologize is going too far. Princess Nanfeng represents the face of the Great Xia Royal Family. To humiliate Great Xia like this, aren't you afraid it'll start a war between our two sides..."

Whoosh, whoosh!

Before Fang Chang could finish speaking, a cold wind swept across the world.

Clang!

Qin Feng suddenly gripped the hilt with force. The Changkong Divine Sword, sealed for seven years, shot halfway out of its sheath like a swimming dragon, its force as fierce as thunder and its blade gleaming with cold light. Everyone present couldn't help shivering.

"Not good!!"

Fang Chang's pupils shrank. He hadn't expected Qin Feng to be so domineering.

Qin Feng didn't care about their diplomatic protests at all. If they didn't do as he said, he would simply draw his sword and start a fight.

Facing Qin Feng, a terrifying figure who had comprehended the Invincible Sword Heart, Fang Chang didn't dare be careless in the slightest. He immediately used his strongest defensive technique. A huge golden bell took shape around his entire body.

The Buddhist sect's Golden Bell Cover!!

He had accidentally obtained an ancient Buddhist divine technique. If he could fully comprehend it, its ultimate form would be an indestructible golden body. He was confident this move could withstand attacks from someone at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Buddhist?!

I'm Confucian!

Confucius said: "I have yet to meet a man so tough I can't beat him to a pulp." (Note: I've never met anyone whose body was so tough that I couldn't break it.)

The corner of Qin Feng's mouth curled slightly as the half-drawn sword's light slammed into the Golden Bell Cover.

Bang!

The Golden Bell Cover around Fang Chang shattered in an instant. As if struck by a heavy blow, he was sent tumbling straight to the ground.

The sword slid halfway back into its sheath, and the cold Qi dispersed.

The entire street fell silent in an instant. The hems of their clothes fluttered and snapped in the breeze.

What had just happened?!

Before they even realized it had begun, Qin Feng had already finished.

"How is this possible!!"

Fang Chang stared at Qin Feng in disbelief. He couldn't believe Qin Feng had broken his pride and joy, the Buddhist Golden Bell Cover, with just half a sword stroke.

"Fang Chang, are you all right?!"

Princess Nanfeng rushed over in alarm to check on him. Only after confirming he was fine did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"So these two really are having an affair!"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing how to deal with Fang Chang.

"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host, for seriously injuring the Son of Heaven. You have gained 5,000 Villain Points!"

"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host, for seeing through the Son of Heaven's awakening. You have gained 5,000 Villain Points!"

"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host, for stopping the Son of Heaven from showing off. You have gained 5,000 Villain Points!"

"Finally, a big haul of Villain Points!"

Qin Feng was so excited he nearly burst into tears. He hadn't seen this many Villain Points in seven years.

"Stay cool, stay cool. I can't ruin my image as a heartthrob!"

Though Qin Feng was dying of excitement inside, on the outside he still looked impossibly cool.

The young women of the Moon God Palace gazed at him with hearts in their eyes. They wished they could shout to the world that he was their God's Son, and that they had watched him grow up little by little.

"Qin Feng, you've gone too far! We're the Great Xia delegation..."

The other Heavenly Prides in the delegation were furious, never having expected Qin Feng to be this domineering.

"Either kneel or die!"

Qin Feng offered no further explanation. His hand went back to the hilt.

Everyone could feel that Qin Feng's killing intent was even stronger now. If anyone dared say no again, it wouldn't be half a sword stroke this time—they would see the real Cutting Heaven Sword Drawing Technique.

"The Archaic Era's Number One Heavenly Pride truly lives up to his name!!"

The onlookers were trembling with excitement. They hadn't expected Qin Feng, at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm, to be so powerful.

They couldn't help screaming inside: The Great Xia delegation had to stand their ground with dignity. They simply didn't believe Qin Feng would really dare to draw his sword.

"Her Highness is a princess of the highest stature. How could she kneel to you? I'll kneel in her place!"

With a look of loyal courage, Fang Chang knelt before Qin Feng in Princess Nanfeng's stead. His eyes still held the defiant spirit of a modern man who would kneel to neither heaven nor earth.

There was no helping it!

He could tell Qin Feng wasn't going to let this go today. And they were in the Yin Moon Dynasty. Even if he still had plenty of trump cards he hadn't played, he could never defeat Moon God, who was silently backing Qin Feng.

"Fang Chang!!"

Princess Nanfeng was so moved she was nearly in tears. Her hatred of Qin Feng soared by 99,999...

"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host, for forcing the Son of Heaven to kneel. You have gained 100,000 Villain Points!!"

"He knows when to yield and when to stand firm. He isn't a hot-blooded Son of Heaven; he's a scheming Son of Heaven!"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, becoming even more wary of Fang Chang.

He wasn't afraid of a Son of Heaven who wanted to fight him head-on. What he feared was a Protagonist who acted like Old Six and stabbed him in the back.

Just as Qin Feng was about to stir up more trouble, a majestic voice that seemed to come from ancient times rang out.

"This farce ends now. Princess Nanfeng, keep your delegation members in line. If anyone else forgets their manners, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

This Emperor?!

Those two short words left everyone in shock. It was the Six Paths Imperial Sovereign of the Yin Moon Dynasty—the one who had led the Yin Moon Dynasty to glory in just a hundred years.

"Greetings, Imperial Sovereign!!"

Everyone knelt and bowed. Their eyes burned with the fervor of fanatical believers.

"Six Paths Imperial Sovereign!"

Qin Feng had heard of him long ago, but had never had the chance to meet him.

But no matter how powerful he was, interfering with Qin Feng's business was still wrong.

With that thought—

Qin Feng pulled out a little notebook and wrote down: In such-and-such year and month, the Six Paths Imperial Sovereign interfered with my business and owed me compensation of one million High-grade Spirit Stones.

"Let's go!"

Princess Nanfeng glared at Qin Feng furiously, then climbed into the carriage and took her people back to the foreign envoys' post house.

At the same time, several Students of Heaven's Son from Great Xia hurried into the courtyard and rescued their companion Zhu Tou. His clothes were disheveled, his gaze vacant, and he looked as if he'd suffered a devastating blow, utterly bereft of the will to live.

"Good heavens, that was brutal!"

The onlookers shook their heads in sympathy, not daring to imagine the scene of him being violated...
