Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 332: If I Kill You, Who Dares to Say Otherwise?!

The night had already deepened outside.

Diwu Qingrou stood under the willow tree, in the dim light and shadow, with his hands behind his back.

Young Master Wei's proud figure leaped up from the flickering lights, graceful like a startled dragon, and with a twist, he landed right in front of Diwu Qingrou.

Diwu Qingrou remained motionless, but his eyes sparkled in the night.

"Something you want?" Young Master Wei asked. "You just left and now you've come back. Do you think this is an inn?"

"This is the Great Zhao, my territory!" Diwu Qingrou replied solemnly. "Brother Wei, I have already given you face! However... while I give you face, I also need you to give me face!"

"Give you face?" Young Master Wei snorted. "Who do you think you are?"

"I am Diwu Qingrou!" Diwu Qingrou replied calmly and sharply, "Brother Wei, you and I both know each other well enough that there's no need for this."

Young Master Wei fell silent for a moment and said, "If you have something to say, go ahead."

"Don't you invite me up to sit for a while?" Diwu Qingrou asked coldly, his eyes suddenly flashing a chilling light as they fixed on Young Master Wei. He slowly continued, "Or... is there something on the ship that is inconvenient for me to see?"

"It is indeed very inconvenient." Young Master Wei stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Diwu Qingrou without budging. He said flatly, "If you don't want to miss this moment, you can come back anytime, but if you insist on going up now, I will kill you!"

When he uttered the last four words, "I will kill you," Young Master Wei's expression turned cold, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Diwu Qingrou's heart trembled.

Young Master Wei was arrogant, unruly, and lawless; but he also knew when to weigh things. In the past, he would not have said such things, but today was clearly different.

Diwu Qingrou understood the stakes and would not confront Young Master Wei directly. He mused, "May I ask Brother Wei the reason?"

"You don't need to know!" Young Master Wei waved his hand harshly. "You only need to know... if you go up, you will die! That's all."

He smiled coldly, suddenly opened his arms, faced the sky, and slowly turned half a circle, laughing wildly, "Diwu Qingrou, in this Great Zhao, you have ten billion citizens and millions of brave soldiers! But if I decide to kill you here, who dares to say no?!"

"You are crazy," Diwu Qingrou said in a deep voice.

At this point, Diwu Qingrou's momentum had weakened.

He knew that Young Master Wei was not someone easy to deal with. If he had gone straight to ask him, this guy would likely not say anything. So he had come in with a confrontational attitude, turning his inner frustration into a palpable presence. First, to let Young Master Wei know that he had reason to be upset. Second, to create momentum for himself and gain greater benefits. Third, to make his purpose in this visit smoother.

But he hadn't expected that today, Young Master Wei seemed completely impervious to his tactics! In just three sentences, the guy declared: even in front of the entire Great Zhao Empire's ten billion citizens and millions of soldiers, he would still kill him! Such words left Diwu Qingrou extremely frustrated.

However, he truly did not dare to challenge Young Master Wei because he knew that Young Master Wei was capable of backing up his words. If he said he would kill him, he would indeed do it! Even if he had billions of soldiers protecting him, Young Master Wei might still accomplish it!

This was purely an unreasonable person; even Diwu Qingrou, in the martial arts world, had no way to handle him.

You reason with him, and he acts like a rogue; you act like a rogue, and he is even more of a rogue than you!

"Young Master Wei... truly lives up to being number one in the Nine Heavens!" Diwu Qingrou sighed lightly.

"Whether others can provoke him, I don't know, but the current you... cannot provoke him!" Young Master Wei snorted coldly.

At this point, the confrontation between the two reached a temporary halt. Diwu Qingrou had not achieved his goal; he decisively decided to cut to the chase. If it were someone else, even if it were Chu King of Hell across from him, Diwu Qingrou would have tried a different method to probe. But with Young Master Wei, it was different.
