Chapter 2279: Don’t Mess With Him

While the two were drinking, somebody outside suddenly called out, “To whoever dared to hurt my brother. Come out! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
The voice was unusually overbearing. He also sent it using spiritual qi, shaking the entire restaurant. Naturally, this person was used to being overbearing. However, his strength also shouldn’t be underestimated.
Hearing this, Zhou Feng’s complexion changed, “It’s Long Batian. I didn’t expect him to come so soon. Brother, let’s go and meet him.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Brother, when the time comes, don’t meddle. I want to see how strong this Long Batian is.”
Zhou Feng smiled bitterly and said, “Brother, as long as we go out together, even if I don’t have anything to do with it, Long Batian will still pin it on me. Although my cultivation is inferior to his, I’m not afraid of him.”
The two talked while walking outside the restaurant. Outside was a person about two meters tall. However, his body didn’t have any visible muscle. His body looked normal.
This person had a square face and eyebrows that met in the middle. His eyes were fiery and his chin was pointed slightly upward. He had the appearance of someone who looked down on lesser status people.
Seeing this person, the first word that came to Zhao Hai’s mind was ‘arrogant’. This person’s arrogance had been hammered into his body from birth. It made one feel extreme discomfort while facing him.
This person was Long Batian. He was now looking at the restaurant with a frosty expression. This restaurant was a business of the sect, so he didn’t dare destroy it. Therefore, he can only shout outside.
At this time, Zhou Feng and Zhao Hai walked out of the restaurant. Seeing Zhou Feng, Long Batian’s expression turned serious. At the same time, his anger flared as he coldly snorted and said, “I was just thinking which trash dared to protect the stranger who hurt this Long Batian’s younger brother. It turns out to be the trash fatty.”
Zhou Feng sneered and said, “Long Batian, you aren’t very smart, are you? You will soon know how Zhao Ling entered the Forbidden Path Sect. As for your brother, why would I care about him? Do yourself a favor, ask questions before coming over next time.”
Anger flashed through Long Batian’s eyes. He coldly snorted and no longer cared about Zhou Feng. He turned his head to Zhao Hai and sized him up. Then with a cold voice he said, “You are the one who injured my brother?”
Zhao Hai just looked at Long Batian but with a slight smile. Long Batian wanted to scare him, but it was impossible. After a while, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, “Yes, I injured some people. But I don’t know which of them is your brother.”
“Nonsense!” Hearing Zhao Hai, Long Batian became furious. “He told you who he is and you still broke his arms. You just don’t want to acknowledge who he is!”
Zhao Hai shifted his expression to realization as he said, “He said his name is Long Fei and his brother is Long Batian. Is that you? When you come for revenge next time, report your name first. Otherwise, people won’t know who you are.”
Long Batian’s head was close to belching black smoke. Zhou Feng just clearly shouted his name, but Zhao Hai insisted that he didn’t know who he was. He was obviously teasing him. This made Long Batian so angry that he almost ascended to heaven.
Long Batian looked at Zhao Hai and said, “A greenhorn dares to use words against me. Let me teach you a lesson today. You better not be arrogant in front of absolute strength!” Then his body moved as he appeared in front of Zhao Hai and punched.
Zhao Hai just laughed and returned with his own punch. Boom! A loud sound was heard as a figure flew backwards. After returning to the ground, the figure took a few steps backward before stopping.
The spectators saw this person’s shadow and couldn’t help but stare. This was because the person who was pushed back in distress was Long Batian.
This discovery stunned everyone looking. They immediately turned their heads to look at Zhao Hai to see who blocked the attack. To their surprise, they found Zhao Hai standing in place with clenched fists and smiling at Long Batian. The person who forced Long Batian back was actually Zhao Hai. Everyone’s brains couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
Zhao Hai looked at Long Batian and said, “This is what you call absolute strength? Long Batian, use your Teleportation Stage strength. Otherwise, you will just embarrass yourself. I have killed a Teleportation Stage expert before this.”
Long Batian looked at Zhao Hai in shock, then he said, “Are you in the Teleportation Stage?”
Zhao Hai laughed and said, “Long Batian, are you blind? Can’t you see that I’m an Earth Monarch? I just said that I killed a Teleportation Stage Expert, jumping levels to kill them. If you really want to take revenge, you better use all your strength.” 𝐫𝓪ꞐօβƐs
Hearing Zhao Hai, Long Batian’s complexion changed. He coldly snorted and said, “You want me to use all my strength? Then let’s see if you have the ability. I will teach you the gap between the Teleportation Stage and the Earth Monarch Stage.”
Long Batian moved as his body floated in the air before charging towards Zhao Hai. Long Batian’s attacks were all using his fists. His punches seemed very simple. He pulled his fist and then released the energy. This was the Forbidden Path Sect’s signboard fist technique, the Arhat Fist.
A Demonic Sect’s foremost fist technique was actually a buddhist technique. This might seem funny, but this was the Forbidden Path Sect’s decision. Disciples of the sect must study this fist technique. Moreover, although the Arhat Fist seemed very simple, it was very compatible with the cultivation method of the Forbidden Path Sect.
People saw Long Batian using the Arhat Fist against Zhao Hai and couldn’t help but stare. Long Batian was treating Zhao Hai seriously.
Zhao Hai looked at Long Batian’s action and sneered, “Alright, Heavenly Demon Claw!” His body moved as his claw formed a layer that protected him within.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Clashes were heard as the fighting continued. Long Batian flew in the sky while Zhao Hai stood firmly on the ground. Despite having the altitude advantage, Long Batian couldn’t do anything to Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai wasn’t using the Arhat Fist, his claw technique was also high-level. If Zhao Hai could fly as well, Long Batian would have lost.
“Stop!” A voice was heard as a person appeared in front of the restaurant. The spectators couldn’t help but stare when they saw this person. It was actually an Inner Sect Elder of the Forbidden Path Sect. His position was far above Long Batian.
Seeing the Elder appear, Long Batian immediately flew backwards and landed. However, his eyes kept glaring at Zhao Hai. At the same time, there was a hint of shock in his eyes.
He can see that Zhao Hai still hasn’t reached the Teleportation Stage. Despite that, he still can’t do anything to Zhao Hai. Even if Zhao Hai can’t fly, there’s a possibility that he could injure Long Batian.
Long Batian stopped, so Zhao Hai stopped as well. The Elder looked at Long Batian and then to Zhao Hai and said, “You are Zhao Ling?”
Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, “I am Zhao Ling. Does Elder have any instructions?”
The Elder replied, “I’m here to inform you that you will participate in the Heart Refining Road three days later. In these three days, don’t cause any trouble.”
Zhao Hai gave a short bow and said, “Elder can rest assured.”
Then the Elder turned his head towards Long Batian and the spectators, then he said, “In these three days, nobody is allowed to provoke Zhao Ling. Otherwise, they will be punished according to sect rules.” His voice reached everyone in the surroundings. However, everyone knew that these words were meant for Long Batian. After all, only Long Batian had a grudge against Zhao Hai.
A hint of anger flashed through Long Batian’s face. But in the end, he didn’t dare say anything. He knew that the elder represented the Sect’s attitude. If he ignored the elder, not only would he be removed from the top ten disciples of the inner sect, he would also be punished.
After the Elder said his words, he turned around and left. Zhou Feng looked at Long Batian’s expression and laughed, “Brother, let’s go and drink. Let’s see who dares to deal with you in these three days. Hahaha.”
Zhao Hai also laughed and returned to the restaurant with Zhou Feng. Long Batian looked at Zhao Hai and Zhou Feng’s back with a pale face. Then he coldly snorted and shot up the air, vanishing from sight in no time.
Zhao Hai looked at the direction Long Batian flew towards and smiled. The reason he acted in a high-profiled manner was to shake any suspicions people might have on him. He knew very well that the more high-profile he acted, the less people would doubt his origins. This was because no sect would send a genius disciple to other sects to serve as a spy. Doing so might ruin that disciple’s future.
There are plenty of talents in the True Spirit Realm, but there’s also a shortage of extremely talented seeds. Any genius was a potential pillar of a sect. Such disciples would be nurtured by the sect instead of being sent out on undercover missions.
Zhao Hai has shown that he has the strength to be called a genius. Therefore, according to common sense, people like him were least likely to be spies. Zhao Hai knew this, so he made sure to show his talent to the Forbidden Path Sect in order to quell any suspicions pinned onto him.
In the following days, Zhao Hai didn’t waste time cultivating. He knew very well that there was no need to prepare for the upcoming trial.
