Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Kneel, Kowtow!
Editor: Exodus Tales

Seeing Su Han’s gaze, Li Qing’s face twitched, and he immediately said in a low voice, “Everyone, I’m feeling unwell and must take my leave.”

With that, he turned to leave.

Xiao Yuhui’s lips slightly curled up, knowing full well that it wasn’t because of any illness that Li Qing was leaving—it was because of that remark he had made earlier.

As for Bai Yu and Ping Yuzi, they were still standing there, dumbfounded, looking at the seven stars gradually vanishing from Su Han’s forehead, unable to speak for a long time.

“Elder Li, perhaps it’s better you don’t go just yet.”

Su Han’s voice rang out loudly as his figure flashed, swiftly moving to stand behind Xiao Yuhui and others, blocking Li Qing’s path.

“You haven’t fulfilled your promise yet.”

Su Han’s gaze was sharp, his entire being like a drawn sword, an astonishing presence radiating from within.

“Kneel down, kowtow.”

Upon hearing these words, the crowd finally came to their senses.

Li Qing’s face turned even uglier, almost to the point of extreme distress.

“Su Han, what I said earlier was just a joke, don’t you think you’re taking it a bit too seriously?” Li Qing said softly.

“A joke? I don’t think you were joking.”

Su Han said with a faint smile, “Kneel down, kowtow.”

Repeating the same words, Su Han pressured Li Qing until his rather handsome face turned the color of liver.

“I am an Outer Sect Elder of the Cold Cloud Sect, and you are not even a disciple. You want me to kneel and kowtow to you; doesn’t that go against the rules of the Cold Cloud Sect?” Li Qing said.

“You’re a man, and a man must stand by his word,” Su Han replied indifferently.

“Su Han.”

Seeing Li Qing pushed to the brink, about to erupt in anger, Xiao Yuhui intervened, “Let’s just leave it at that. After all, Li Qing is an Outer Sect Elder, and you’ve gotten your face back. Making him kneel in front of so many people is still not quite…”

“This has nothing to do with you.”

Before Xiao Yuhui could finish, Su Han extended his finger, lightly shook it, and spoke a few more words, “You need not concern yourself.”

At these words, Xiao Yuhui sighed softly, her expression helpless.

She knew her words wouldn’t be heeded by Su Han.

Not to mention herself, with Su Han’s character, he likely wouldn’t listen to anyone.

“Su Han, my name is Bai Yu, an Elder of Inner Sect of the Cold Cloud Sect, and a good friend of Yuhui. I’ve heard that you are Yuhui’s brother-in-law, and I’ve been wanting to make your acquaintance. Now I finally have the opportunity.”

Stepping forward, Bai Yu offered a thick smile, “How about we call it even for my sake? After all, if things really get out of hand, it won’t be good for anyone, don’t you agree?”

“You like Xiao Yuhui, don’t you?” Su Han suddenly asked.

Bai Yu was taken aback, wondering how Su Han could tell.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yuhui rolled her eyes, thinking to herself why he had to bring that up.

“Since you like Xiao Yuhui, then go after your Xiao Yuhui. As for my business, you can stay out of it,” Su Han said again.

“So many people are watching here, and some of them will surely enter the Cold Cloud Sect. If Li Qing really kneels down to you, where would the Cold Cloud Sect’s face be then? He is an Outer Sect Elder, how could he kneel to a disciple?” Bai Yu continued.

“If he knew he was an Outer Sect Elder, why did he spout all that nonsense earlier? If I had lost, would I not have had to hand over tens of millions of Gold Coins to them? You only allow me to lose and fulfill the promise, but not allow me to win and make them fulfill theirs?” Su Han replied with a sneer.

Hearing the words ‘Gold Coins,’ Ping Yuzi twitched his mouth fiercely. He had been in shock until now, but a reminder from Su Han suddenly made him remember that he still owed Su Han twenty million Gold Coins.

It wasn’t just the twenty million gold coins; Ping Yuzi had also said that he would cover the bets for those people who bet against Su Han and lost.

Now, Su Han, with an overwhelmingly strong demeanor, had given them a stunning reversal, and Ping Yuzi truly felt an urge to vomit blood.

Twenty million gold coins!

That was his entire fortune. To cover for the others, too, was simply impossible.

“Su Han.”

Ping Yuzi took a deep breath and said, “Your physique is indeed formidable, fusing the majority of the Seventh-Order Beast Blood within minutes, an accomplishment that can be described as unprecedented and unlikely to be replicated. I hold great admiration for you. Once you enter the Cold Cloud Sect, I will certainly inform the Sect Master and others of this matter. Even if you don’t achieve first place in this selection, you will be entitled to resources comparable to that of the first place.”

“Oh?”

Su Han raised an eyebrow and looked at Ping Yuzi, who was feeling emotionally alarmed, and spoke slowly.

“You owe me money.”

Upon hearing this, Ping Yuzi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

“You damn money-grubber!” Ping Yuzi cursed inwardly.

All the flattery he had just spewed was actually an attempt to please Su Han, but to his surprise, Su Han was unmoved, immediately bringing up money.

“And all of you.”

Su Han then turned his gaze to the others: “Don’t forget, each of you owes me ten thousand gold coins. After the selection, I intend to collect them one by one.”

“Damn, money-grubber!”

“Hmph, what’s the rush? It’s just ten thousand gold coins, isn’t it?”

“Damn it, this bastard actually won. We, thousands of us, couldn’t beat just him!”

Those swept by Su Han’s gaze, although they hung their heads and said nothing, cursed Su Han a myriad of times in their hearts.

Apart from the likes of Hu Zhengyao and Yang Lin from County City, coughing up ten thousand gold coins was indeed painful for them.

“What’s the matter? Are you really not planning to honor your promise?” Su Han then looked at Li Qing.

“Do you really want to force me to kneel and kowtow to you?”

Li Qing gritted his teeth and said, “How about this, I’ll give you three million gold coins, a million per kowtow.”

“No need, I am not short of money,” Su Han said indifferently.

“If you’re not short of money, then forget it!”

Fiery anger seemed to shoot from Li Qing’s eyes: “You want me to kowtow to you? In your next life!”

“If you don’t kowtow, I’ll break your legs!” Su Han suddenly said.

Li Qing was startled and then burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, break my legs? Since Li became an Outer Sect Elder of the Cold Cloud Sect, he has yet to meet someone as arrogant as you. Today, I want to see exactly how you’re going to break my legs!”

All eyes turned to them at this moment, everyone thinking how audacious Su Han was. No matter what, Li Qing was an Outer Sect Elder. How dare Su Han make such a bold claim?

Besides, Li Qing’s cultivation base was at the late stage of the Dragon Blood Realm, approaching the peak, and he had been in the Cold Cloud Sect for several years, mastering several Dragon Techniques, which put him in a different class from the ordinary cultivators at the late stage of the Dragon Blood Realm in Yuanshan County.

As they watched in disbelief, Su Han’s eyes turned cold. He wasted no more words, his figure shot out directly, rushing towards Li Qing.

His personality dictated that he would repay all grievances. Li Qing had previously mocked him to his utmost ability, stopping just short of laying hands on Su Han.

If Su Han let him go just like that, then he, the Su Han from his past life, truly wasn’t worthy of being called the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor!
