NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 5: Why Look at the Owner When You Beat the Dog?
Shen Qing's words took the old servant by surprise; he even thought he heard wrong.
The old servant's face instantly turned cold, as dark as if it could wring water out, and he said coldly, "Do you even know what you're saying?"
"I said, I am not familiar with your young master, and I will not go." Shen Qing repeated again, speaking with clear enunciation.
To him, the other party was arrogant and disrespectful by coming here, and he really didn't have the patience to cozy up to someone who's being ungrateful, bending over backward to cater to this unwarranted arrogance.
Upon hearing this, the old servant's expression became even more ferocious, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Well, well, well, I see you choose to toast punishment instead of drinking respectfully. Within this Capital City, even your Lord Commander has to smile when meeting anyone from the Li Family. Who do you think you are, just a Chief Officer in a mere skin coat, thinking you're great?"
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense and confrontational.
At this moment, Wei Chengye hurriedly stepped out in a timely manner, "Gentlemen, please refrain from getting angry. Chief Officer Shen may have his inconveniences. Why don't we sit down and discuss this peacefully?"
"Discuss? I see there's no need for that."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the Li family's old servant. His dry and skinny right hand suddenly stretched out like an eagle's claw, reaching straight for Shen Qing's shoulder, clearly unwilling to waste more words.
"Die!"
A strong wind rushed toward Shen Qing, causing his clothes to flutter loudly.

Shen Qing's body remained still, but waves of spiritual power surged around him, and deep spiritual power gushed out like a river, meeting the old servant's claw.
Boom!
Their spiritual power collided in the air, exploding in a deafening roar.
Around Shen Qing, whether it was the delicate carved window frames or the rustic redwood tables and chairs, they all turned to dust instantly under the force of this power.
The air was filled with thick smoke and dust.
The Li family servant retreated several steps before stabilizing himself.
He squinted his eyes as he sized up Shen Qing, and he realized there was something unusual about this young man.
Both being at the Spirit Void Realm, this person's foundation was even stronger than his.
Spiritual power surged continuously, endlessly deep, truly unbelievable.
Wei Chengye, seeing the two had started to fight, was startled and quickly grabbed Shen Qing's arm, apologizing to the Li family's old servant with a smile, "My Brother Shen is ignorant; please don't blame him, old steward."
After speaking, he lowered his voice and leaned close to Shen Qing, whispering, "Brother Shen, are you crazy? Don't just see that he's a mere servant; he's backed by the Li Family. You know, you don't have to look at the owner when you beat the dog; if you do this, the Li Family might not let you go."
Shen Qing smiled indifferently.
Among the Eight Great Families now, he had already offended the Xue Family, not afraid of another one.
A mere servant riding on his head to do as he pleased, did he really think he was a clay Bodhisattva without any temper?
The old servant clearly did not take Wei Chengye seriously.
"Now, wanting to bow your head is too late!"
The old servant, having failed his first strike, stomped his foot, and yellow glimmers of light continuously gushed from his Qi Sea, transforming into a golden arrow heading straight toward Shen Qing.
His claw, as if forged with golden light, filled with murderous intent, kept pressing towards Shen Qing like a ghost.
Each move directly targeted Shen Qing's vital points.
Shen Qing's mind remained focused, a Divine Sense spread out.
The actions and patterns of each move of the old servant clearly manifested in Shen Qing's mind.
He employed the Great Void Shifting Technique, his form graceful, moving as if stepping on clouds like an Immortal, with each dodge perfectly timed.
While avoiding Li Huai's onslaught, he also continually depleted the spiritual power and stamina of the Li family's old servant, making it seem effortless.
Both were powerhouses at the Spirit Void Realm, wherever they passed, tables, screens, vases, all turned to powder under the impact of their spiritual power.
This was still the result of both intentionally controlling; they didn't want to tear the tavern apart and make a huge scene.
The guests around the tavern, seeing the two fighting, scattered in all directions to avoid getting caught in the crossfire and losing their lives for nothing.
Even the brave ones dared not stick around to watch the excitement.
Bang, bang, bang!
The two kept exchanging moves; Shen Qing used his physical body to withstand, his whole body glowed with a reddish-gold brilliance.
The Li family old servant, the more he fought, the more horrified he became. He hadn't expected Shen Qing's cultivation to be so profound, as if playing child's play in front of him with all his might.
Moreover, seeing the opponent's performance, he was clearly holding back some strength.
He saw Shen Qing's youthful appearance, feeling a huge sense of disparity.
This sense quickly turned into supreme fury.
After just exchanging dozens of moves, he felt like he was led by the nose.
If it weren't for his "battle-hardened experience," he might have already been defeated and lost his life.
The Li family's old servant, extremely unwilling in his heart.
He roared, his whole body surged with spiritual power, fiercely clawing forward, pouring all his lifetime cultivation into this strike.
In the void, a golden eagle claw suddenly appeared, clawing toward Shen Qing.
Shen Qing showed no fear, waving both hands, facing the difficulty, his hands forming an imprint and throwing it forward.
Before Shen Qing's chest, gentle yet powerful spiritual power surged like a tide, transforming into an ancient great seal, colliding head-on with the golden eagle claw.
Boom.
In just an instant, he effortlessly resolved the Li family's old servant's offensive into nothingness.
The golden eagle claw vanished with a bang.
"It's over."
Shen Qing gently pointed a finger, a brilliant beam of spiritual power shot from his fingertip, hitting the Li family old servant's chest accurately.
The Li family old servant's body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily into the tavern's wall, then sliding down powerlessly, leaving a wall covered in bloodstains.
