The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 167: Strength is all that matters

It was fine when Jian Shen was the only one who wasn't treating him with much respect, but when even Li Mei was also trusting him in the same way Li Qiao truly wanted to cry and shout 'I'm an Emperor! An Emperor!!!'

Ignoring Li Qiao who had an awkward expression on his face, Li Mei walked past him and jumped inside the teleportation circle.

Standing beside Jian Shen, Li Mei had a smirk on her face as she said, "You can't get rid off me so easily."

"Now start the teleportation array!"

Not leaving Jian Shen with any chance to change his mind or try and leave, not that he ever it ended to, Li Mei ordered for the teleportation array to be started as if she was the ruler of the Yueliang Empire.

Sighing once again at how even an Emperor like him no longer managed to bring out respect and fear from the younger generation, Li Qiao nodded towards the man who was responsible for controlling the teleportation array.

Receiving the order from the Emperor, the man who had already selected the destination of the teleportation array directly activated it and covered the two inside it with bright white light.

Other than wanting to save time by using the teleportation array, Jian Shen wanted to do this because he wanted to try and see if he could comprehend the Intent of Space.

Once the white light surrounding him and Li Mei increased by a lot and reached the stage of becoming unbearable to the naked eye, Jian Shen closed his eyes and started to feel the space shift around him.

Having entered the Dharma Realm and already comprehended two Intents of Heaven and Earth, Jian Shen was no longer unfamiliar with the Intents of Heaven and Earth.

After the teleportation started, Jian Shen the same as he did when comprehended the Intents of Wind, and Lightning left a clear existence of an Intent more profound and mysterious than the previous two he had already comprehended.

Unfortunately, before Jian Shen could try and understand the mysterious Intent which was most likely the Intent of Space, the teleportation had already ended forcing him to stop trying to comprehend the Intent of Space.

Sighing a little from how he wasn't able to even comprehend a single strand of the Intent of Space, Jian Shen looked around to see that he was inside a huge room of sorts.

And just like the room inside the palace, this room was also guarded by countless soldiers from all sides.

Spotting the man who seemed to be the one in charge here, since he had the grandest looking armour on and stood in front of the teleportation array, Jian Shen stepped out of teleportation array and began walking forward.

"Nice to meet you two, I'm Xue Ling, the General who has been tasked with keeping the Yueliang Empire's boundary safe! I'm honoured to meet you two who gave been sent here by the Emperor himself!"

Just like Jian Shen who chose to not even nod his head in response or acknowledgement, Li Mei who was walking behind him also didn't say a single thing.

In the case of Jian Shen, it was his pure arrogance at not putting anyone below the Genesis Realm in his eyes as a qualified individual to fight.

But for Li Mei, it was how she only gad Jian Shen in her eyes and didn't care about anything else.

Resisting the urge to shout and let out his frustration from being ignored, the burly man managed to stop himself with just a frown.

He was already considered to be very patient when he put up with the two of them ignoring him, but once he realized that the two who were sent here from the capital were just two Dharma Realm Cultivators, Xue Ling no longer cared much about them either.

"Where's the boundary wall at?"

"Humph!"

You finally acknowledge me? Too bad I don't acknowledge you anymore!

With such thoughts, Xue Ling chose to not answer and looked towards the sky with a proud expression waiting for the two of them to beg him.

Unfortunately, such a thing didn't happen.

Realizing something was change Xue Ling had jus ripened his eyes and looked in front of him when he saw the female running away at a very fast speed.

What the hell?

Next, he noticed Jian Shen who seemed to be frozen in space slowly move and place his hand on the white sword which was hanging from his waist.

"I doubt Li Qiao would care much even if I kill you."

Saying such words, Jian Shen literally vanished from where he stood and reappeared in front of Xue Ling whose eyes couldn't track Jian Shen's movements at all.

Still, as a Saint Realm Cultivator who had both comprehended the Intent of Wind and created his own Domain, Xie Ling could sense where Jian Shen was and what he was doing.

Hastily bringing out the spear from his spatial ring and slashing it upwards to meet the flame covered sword, Xue Ling had barely managed to stop the attack from hitting his body.

But that was not the end of it because other than the force of the sword strike which pushed him back, Jian Shen had suddenly twisted his body in mid-air and kicked him in the chest with a lightning covered leg.

Bam!

"Ugh... "

Panting loudly while holding his armour which had a huge hole at the centre of it, Xue Ling was now filled with a little fear towards Jian Shen who managed to obtain the upper hand in such a short period of time despite being two realms lower than him.

At the same time, he looked around to see the damage which had taken place to walls and road around him from the impact of their weapons clashing which allowed him to understand why Li Mei had run away.

"Are you now willing to answer my question?"
