This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 848 - 76: No sooner had one wave subsided, another rose.
Chapter 848: Chapter 76: No sooner had one wave subsided, another rose.
Lu Qingshan seemed to shrink the ground into an inch, taking a single step to reach the spot where Hei Wu had just been.
He reached out and caught the little girl who was falling due to Hei Wu letting go, then casually placed her on the ground.
The little girl’s legs were weak, almost unable to stand steadily.
And at that moment, all the creatures on the scene stood up in shock.
They had never imagined that Qing Ge would be so powerful and ruthless, attacking so suddenly without any warning.
As soon as he moved, it was with a thunderous might.
Hei Wu was now struggling to get up, angrily shouting, "Who is it?"
He felt a burning pain in his chest.
There was a bloodstain there.
The physical injury was secondary.
More importantly, being knocked away with one strike in front of so many people made his face feel burning.
What a disgrace!
The person who took action was too despicable, too arrogant!
This was the Chiguo Banquet hosted by Lord Chi Li. How could anyone dare to act recklessly on such an occasion?
Hei Wu had not expected it at all and was completely unprepared, which is why he was so easily caught off guard.
"Qing Ge, the son-in-law of the Shi Wu clan, a mixed-blood, you... dare to humiliate me like this?"
Upon seeing Lu Qingshan clearly, Hei Wu’s face turned ashen, and he squeezed out these words from the depths of his throat, his voice dark and angry.
Sitting on the main seat, Chi Li’s expression turned cold for a moment, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and said in a cold voice, "Qing Ge, what do you mean by this?"
"You injured my guest at my Chiguo Banquet. You need to give me an explanation."
The little girl whom Lu Qingshan had saved clasped the hand of another little girl beside her tightly upon seeing all the creatures on the scene turning their gaze towards her.
Tears streamed down from her large eyes, forming a string like pearls.
She fixed her gaze on Lu Qingshan, with gratitude, fear, and worry in her eyes.
She had not expected anyone would actually come to her rescue.
Hei Wu now had a ferocious look, exuding killing intent as he approached Lu Qingshan step by step.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan found himself the target of everyone’s indignation.
But he remained exceptionally calm, his eyes cold as he looked around, "These are just two children, so young, and you all just watched as Hei Wu was about to eat them alive?"
Lu Qingshan questioned.
Then he cupped his hands slightly towards Chi Li on the main seat, "I acted rashly at Lord’s Chiguo Banquet, and I apologize for my offense.
But I believe that the Lord wouldn’t want a fine Chiguo Banquet to be turned into a barbaric gathering of beasts feeding on raw flesh and blood by the likes of Hei Wu, would he?"
Chi Li narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Lu Qingshan closely.
The act of Hei Wu eating people was indeed primitive and truly unwelcomed.
It was evident from the expressions of all the other creatures present when he did this—they did not look pleased.
Just as Lu Qingshan viewed demons as humanoid beings.
To the demonic cultivators present, humans were actually creatures similar in form to them.
In this context, Hei Wu’s act of eating human children alive appeared extremely atrocious.
However, they did not stop him.
Chi Li also did not favor this behavior, but he even actively provided human spirit children as food for Hei Wu.
Because in their view, this behavior, this hobby, although not graceful, was at most a minor flaw, similar to lechery or greed.
As long as others’ flaws did not interfere with themselves, nobody would bother to stand up against it voluntarily.
And Chi Li, especially wanting to win over Hei Wu, did not care about this at all.
The Chiguo Banquet had been held three or four times, but "Qing Ge" was the only one who had ever made such a big deal out of this issue for so long.
"What does it have to do with you?" Hei Wu erupted with rage, "I didn’t eat your family members, so what if I eat some human children?"
"Do you know what you are doing?" He activated his qi-blood, and the wound on his chest quickly healed.
"I will give you a chance. Apologize to me right now. Considering you are a guest of the Lord, I might forgive your offense this time!" Hei Wu said through gritted teeth, viciously.
The surrounding creatures watching this scene all had a hint of mockery in their eyes.
Was Hei Wu really this magnanimous?
Of course not.
The reason he said this was nothing more than fearing "Qing Ge’s" methods.
Recent events had stirred much commotion, and everyone in the Royal City knew Qing Ge’s name.
Especially since he had just crushed the pure-blood Ling Wu of the Spirit King Mansion. No one knew his limits.
This was a person of great renown, not to be easily offended.
Even a figure like Lord Chi Li held Qing Ge in high regard.
Thus, although Chi Li had questioned "Qing Ge" immediately, demanding an explanation, this behavior was essentially protecting him.
Because he was giving Lu Qingshan a chance to explain himself, to excuse his actions.
As long as Lu Qingshan could provide even a slightly reasonable reason, Chi Li would overlook the incident.
If it were someone else daring to act this way, Chi Li would have already taken them down without hesitation.
Though Hei Wu appeared rugged, his thoughts were very meticulous.
He also noticed this point and knew his strength was inferior to Qing Ge’s, thus he feared him.
Though he was very resentful, he suppressed his anger, giving himself a way out.
I was beaten like this and humiliated. Is it too much to ask you for a verbal apology?
Hei Wu thought to himself, feeling both angry and ashamed.
The two little girls were stunned.
