Chapter 429: Hubris
"Your tongue is really sharp, vermin…" looking at the immortal-like young man with a cold, ruthless and clearly scheming look on his face, the imperial prince said with a disregarding tone as if he doesn't even put the young man in his eyes, his gaze roaming across the assortment of beauties of different type gathered beside him, their appearance invoking a perverted smile on his face.
"Really? I doubt it, Imperial Prince Moxie, I guess your skin is just too sensitive to receive my words…" the immortal-like young man added with the same mocking smile still on his face, his words causing multiple veins to pop out of the prince's temple and forehead, the clenched hands of mentioned prince a clear indication that sooner rather than later, he will already hit the limit of his patience and do something he should not.
"Su Xiaotian, don't push it too much, else you want to regret being born in my world" still bearing the condescending look as having the company of multitudes of Soul Formation Realm geniuses assures him to an unprecedented state, Long Moxie threatened still with a disregarding tone in his voice, his hand already unclenched and seemingly prepared to do something else.
"Your world? The Imperial Court truly is high and mighty huh… impressive, very impressive, never in my life had I heard someone having the guts to claim this world everybody lives in to be theirs…" as he hears the new threat of the calculative-looking imperial prince, the immortal-like young man couldn't help but snicker, his laughter growing by the second until it eventually reaches an explosive one that made the ground tremble, making the onlookers of this confrontation wonder whether he is really cultivating the same cultivation as all of them.
"You know, back in my place, there is a term for claiming things like you do, was it… audacity, no no no, that is an understatement, I say, yours is hubris, hell, even the frog in the well would feel embarrassed being associated with you after hearing that claim of yours" saying these words, Su Xiaotian finally made Long Moxie's final straw snap into oblivion, each of the words coming out of his mouth directly attacking the usually calculative imperial prince mentally, making his body tremble in anger as he grits his teeth.
This anger is further amplified as his gaze roams around the other uninvolved geniuses watching the spectacle, some of them having an entertained look in their face as if they are extremely satisfied with the unfolding of the events, while some of them even straight up laughing and agreeing with the immortal-like young man, disregarding him completely and not paying any single drop of respect to him and the prestige of the Imperial Court.
"Damn, that Su Xiaotian is not only good in fights, he's also good with his words huh…"
"Haven't you heard what happened to that Purple Lightning Temple's Lei Xing when he fought against him? I heard that the lad is not only broken in body, but also in spirit and soul… that Su Xiaotian, he's brutal…"
"Brutal he is indeed, just look, it is already an imperial prince that he is talking about, and he's still not holding any words back… does he really have a capital for him to offend that petty Long Moxie just like that?"
As they watches the confrontation between these two geniuses who are both the center of attention for quite some time now, the two are also listening on the conversations between these participants of the second trial, with their reasons being completely different, with the immortal-like young man trying to find if he can gather some information about other people who could possibly be targeting him later, while the imperial prince sheerly due to his curiosity about these geniuses opinion on him.
While they are discussing about the fight that is clearly about to break out, the immortal-like young man still intends to continue with his words, seeing that the imperial prince has no intention of replying, but before he could start speaking, Long Moxie already starts threatening once again, now pointing fingers at him as he speaks with absolute confidence in his voice.
"There's clearly a path to heaven for you, and yet here you are, seeking a place in hell where there's not a single door to be found, I'll make sure you regret crossing path with me you fucking vermin…" as he waves his hands, the geniuses standing behind him immediately moves in practiced unison towards the immortal-like young man, the smile in their faces revealing that they aren't even forced to do this thing by the calculative imperial prince, but rather, they also want the glory of being able to suppress or even completely dominate this recognized greatest genius of their generation.
"You're truly dumb, Long Moxie, those words are not even appropriate, where the hell is this path to heaven that you're talking about? You offered an alternative other than to fight? Dear heavens, how could someone be so obnoxiously proud of themselves while simultaneously doing things that is enough to humiliate not only themselves but their entire bloodline…"
Unable to bear the imperial prince's nonsense anymore, the immortal-like young man starts ranting on the things that he thought this black-robed young man said wrong, all while also waving his hand, not to let the ones beside him to face the approaching opponents but rather to dismiss them, to not let them interfere in his business.
"Neither refined and gentlemanly, nor ethical and educated, you're a prince prided by the Imperial Court for being one of their most likely successors, I guess the 'greatness' of the Imperial Court truly ends in your generation."
Su Xiaotian boldly said as his figure takes one step at a time to approach the opponents, geniuses of the Imperial Court clearly out for his blood, his expression calm and cold like there's no need to be perturbed facing the combined might of more than half a dozen Soul Formation Realm, two of them being in the Perfection state and threatening to break through the Body Integration Realm anytime, as if this is just any other day to him.
"Bold! How dare you mock Imperial Prince Moxie like that!? We'll teach you a lesson!!"
"Impudent brat!!! Learn how to talk politely to your superiors in your next life!!"
"We'll make sure you regret saying those words, kid!! Time to die!!!"
Looking at Su Xiaotian with a manic smile on their faces, the geniuses of the Imperial Court each declared without any trace of hesitation in their voice, almost as if they are even prepared to get killed by the elders of the Dao Seeking Mountain for breaking the unspoken no killing rule just to incapacitate or best case scenario, completely cripple or kill this immortal-like young man, their bodies rushing towards their target at a lightning fast speed no normal cultivator of the same level could follow properly with their eyes, or even senses alone.
Meanwhile, looking at these group who seems to be way too eager to 'teach him a lesson', the immortal-like young man's face broke into a smile that send shivers to the Imperial Court disciple's spines, a smile something that screams of the situation being under his complete control, and all of them, including their most prided Imperial Prince Moxie, is just dancing at the palm of his hand.
The smile of a hunter spotting its prey.
