Chapter 119: I Shouldn’t Have Hit You So Hard, I Almost Killed You
Sometimes, Qin Chu even wondered what was wrong with this world, how could it breed such a group of rotten people?
Now, Qin Chu wanted to make this matter a big deal, the bigger the better. It would be more convenient for him to do some of his own things. He was still thinking about how to do it, and then someone handed him the opportunity on a silver platter.
The Grand Prince immediately gave Qin Chu the chance, and he really wanted to thank that idiot.
So Qin Chu was unscrupulous, completely disregarding gentlemanly etiquette, using crude language like. He wanted the people here to know that he was angry.
The surroundings fell silent. The nobles who had just accused Qin Chu suddenly remembered that as soon as Qin Chu arrived in the Heavenly Continent, he eliminated a Demon Beast spy at the banquet.
In the following days, he cleaned up all the hundreds of Demon Beasts lurking in the Imperial City.
No matter how they looked at it, it couldn’t be said that he hadn’t done anything, right?
If these hundreds of Demon Beasts were allowed to continue lurking in the Imperial City, continuously transmitting information, how much would the human world suffer?
They didn’t care about the lives of the soldiers on the front lines, but if those soldiers couldn’t stop the Demon Beasts and they invaded the Imperial City… Thinking of that scene, the nobles’ faces changed.
Especially after hearing Qin Chu’s decision to slack off and quit being the Hero, their faces turned even paler.
Without the Hero, who would fight those powerful Demon Beasts?
Who would defeat the terrifying Demon King?
They were afraid.
“You are a bunch of ungrateful bastards!”
“As soon as he was summoned, he eliminated hundreds of Demon Beasts. This is a feat that even the First Hero couldn’t achieve, and you actually forgot about it?”
“Don’t forget, the Hero also participated in the rescue operation for Benson, a former member of the Hero Squad. What a noble character! How can you slander the Hero like this…”
Some clever nobles immediately shamelessly changed their tune, seemingly forgetting that they were also part of the accusing crowd just now.
These nobles had very flexible moral standards.
Their fickleness made Angelica even angrier. Thinking that her master was actually fighting for such scum, she felt a surge of depression.
Violet was also dumbfounded. She was shocked by the shamelessness of these people. Although she had just realized that the people of this world had long since fallen, she still didn’t expect someone to be so shameless.
The sudden change in the situation made Horn’s face stiffen. Their original plan was to use public opinion to force the Hero to go to the front lines. Once he left the Imperial City, there would be countless opportunities to kill him, and the Grand Prince wouldn’t have to bear the blame.
As for the Hero?
They could just summon another one. It was just an outsider, who cared?
But he didn’t expect Qin Chu’s move to instantly turn the tables. The nobles who had just been agreeing with him now all pointed their fingers at him, blaming him for bumping into the great Hero.
Qin Chu’s expression became colder and colder, his icy gaze making Horn’s pupils constrict:
“General Horn, can you bear the consequences of me not being the Hero?”
These words made Horn’s body tremble.
If Qin Chu quit being the Hero and slacked off, the Demon Beast army would advance, the Four Heavenly Kings and Seventeen Generals of the Demon Beast army, and the most terrifying Demon King Nagath… Who would resist these powerful beings? How many humans would die because of this?
Hundreds of thousands, millions?
If Wadsworth, Saint Monique, and Augustus found out that it was because of his provocation that Qin Chu quit being the Hero, their wrath would be like thunder. He would definitely die, and his parents, children, siblings, even his friends and relatives, everyone related to him would be implicated.
Probably none of them would survive.
Thinking of this, Horn couldn’t help but shiver.
His face turned pale, his mouth watering rapidly, and his throat swallowing involuntarily.
At this moment, he suddenly saw the corners of Qin Chu’s lips curl up into a provocative smile. That smile was particularly dazzling.
Then, Qin Chu leaned forward slightly and said in a voice only he and Horn could hear:
“Coward, hit me…”
Hiss!
Qin Chu’s provocation made Horn’s mind race, his blood boiling.
He was a desperate thug, and it was precisely because he was ruthless and fearless that he was chosen by the Grand Prince to do some dirty work that was inconvenient for him to do personally. Under the Grand Prince’s arrangement, he entered the army, and in the battles against the Demon Beasts, he made quite a few contributions due to his fearless fighting spirit. The Grand Prince then used his influence to promote him to general, breaking the rules.
His personality was simple and crude. Qin Chu’s provocation instantly turned the fear that had just surged in his heart into anger.
He held Qin Chu’s collar with one hand, his other hand clenched into a fist, his eyes bloodshot: I’ll beat you to death!
His fist, the size of a sandbag, wrapped in earthy yellow Battle Qi, smashed towards Qin Chu’s face.
Seeing this scene, Angelica gasped and wanted to stop him, but Violet held her shoulder.
Violet’s face held a gentle smile. She knew that it was better to leave this matter to Qin Chu. This man wasn’t someone who would take things lying down.
There were many ways to handle this matter, but Qin Chu chose the most violent one. He must have his reasons.
She and Angelica just needed to watch quietly.
The surrounding nobles screamed in alarm. Nikles’s face also changed drastically. He knew that Horn wanted to provoke Qin Chu, but he thought it was just a provocation. He didn’t expect Horn to actually attack, even using his Battle Qi.
Seeing the fist heading straight for his face, Qin Chu suddenly smiled.
Horn’s heart trembled, and he inwardly cried out, “Oh no!” It was too late to retract his fist.
With a clap, just as the fist was about to hit his face, Qin Chu’s right hand caught Horn’s fist with lightning speed, stopping the huge fist instantly.
This scene made Horn and Nikles’s hearts jump.
He directly caught Horn’s fist infused with Battle Qi?
When did the Hero become so strong?
“Everyone saw it, he hit me first!” Qin Chu said with a smile.
Horn swung his arm forcefully, trying to pull his fist back.
But it was useless.
Qin Chu’s fingers were like a pair of iron pliers, tightly gripping Horn’s fist, making it completely immobile. Not only that, Qin Chu’s arm began to exert force gradually.
A strange creaking sound came from the friction between his finger bones. The intense pain made Horn’s face flush red, his entire face contorted, and his body trembling uncontrollably.
The Battle Qi attached to his fist was also under immense pressure, making a sound like metal grinding against metal.
Earth attribute Battle Qi wasn’t very strong in attack, but it was definitely the strongest in defense.
But now, even Horn’s well-trained Earth attribute Battle Qi couldn’t withstand Qin Chu’s pure brute force. With a pop, the Battle Qi attached to his fist instantly shattered.
Then, another clap.
Horn’s eyes widened abruptly, and a shrill scream pierced the sky.
His entire fist was crushed by Qin Chu.
His finger bones were crushed into pieces, his palm turned into a mess of flesh, and sticky blood dripped down the edge of Qin Chu’s hand.
The pain was excruciating!
Even though Horn was fearless, he couldn’t bear it at this moment. A pig-like squeal escaped his mouth, his shrill howls making people’s scalps tingle.
He finally let go of Qin Chu’s collar, his left hand pressing hard on his crushed right hand, but blood still gushed out like a faucet.
Large beads of sweat rolled down his pale face.
He had just thought that this so-called Hero was just a weakling he could easily crush, but who would have thought that it was him who was crushed instead?
Nikles behind him was also pale, his eyes filled with fear. He couldn’t believe that this Hero possessed such terrifying power. He had only been summoned for less than half a month, how could he have become so strong? Horn was level 65…
He vaguely regretted colluding with the Grand Prince.
Qin Chu also felt that it was time to show some strength. This person who delivered himself to his doorstep was just the right sacrifice. Seeing Horn’s pained expression, the smile on his face became colder.
His right hand shot out, grabbing Horn’s head before he could react. With a whoosh, he lifted Horn’s body into the air, and then…
Bang…
Face down, he slammed Horn’s body heavily onto the ground.
The ground trembled, and several stone slabs shattered.
A faint cracking sound could be heard. He didn’t know if Horn’s skull was fractured.
His nose was completely crushed, several teeth were knocked out, and blood gushed from his face.
Sigh… That felt good.
Shaking off the filth from his hand, Qin Chu smiled. It felt good to show off his strength a little.
The surroundings were silent.
When Qin Chu saw the shocked gazes of the surrounding people, he was speechless.
Did he accidentally display too much strength?
Well, whatever.
Looking at Horn, who was lying on the ground twitching like a dying toad, Qin Chu felt a little apologetic, “General Horn, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have hit you so hard. I almost killed you…”
Horn, who had just managed to raise his head a little, suddenly heard these words. He choked on his breath, and another mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
Qin Chu didn’t bother with him. He flashed and appeared in front of a soldier with a bandaged head, tearing off the bandage to reveal a smooth forehead.
The soldier panicked and tried to cover it, but it was too late.
“Your injury is fake?”
“Interesting.”
“You disguised yourselves as wounded soldiers returning from the battlefield and deliberately provoked the Hero, trying to disrupt the united front of the entire Heavenly Continent against the Demon Beasts…”
Qin Chu directly put a big label on them.
“Can you bear this crime?”
Qin Chu walked towards Horn step by step, “Tell me, who is behind this?”
Horn, who had barely managed to turn around, stared at Qin Chu with defiant eyes, like a crazed beast, as if he wanted to tear him apart alive.
“No one ordered me. I just don’t like you…” Horn growled in a low voice, his words muffled because he had lost too many teeth.
Qin Chu wasn’t angry. He just raised a finger.
“What does that mean?”
“I have patience for you, you have three chances. After three chances, I will kill you…”
As he spoke, Qin Chu raised a second finger. Horn’s question counted as one.
Horn’s bloodshot eyes widened, his body instinctively struggling and twisting, “You, you can’t kill me. I’m a soldier of the Auville Empire. According to the laws of the empire, only a military court can…”
The third finger went up.
The next second, Star Flame Battle Qi erupted. Silver-white flames wrapped around Qin Chu’s arm like writhing vipers.
A silver flash, and Qin Chu’s fist went straight for Horn’s face.
“It’s the Grand Prince!”
