Chapter 1341: Chapter 1336: Elder Jin
Jin Mountain was unable to describe the feeling of this instant.
When Qin Hao disappeared at that moment, he and others felt tremendously puzzled in their hearts.
And when the crowd expressed their surprise, an instinctive cold wind brushed against his back.
As a Profound Tier expert, Jin Mountain knew full well that this cold wind represented killing intent.
What shocked him more was that he could hear breathing from behind him.
A skilled expert that could stealthily appear behind him signifies that this person’s ability to Conceal Breath must be truly remarkable.
Such a person would certainly not produce heavy breathing sounds.
If they did, then there’s only one possibility.
He did it on purpose!
At that moment, Jin Mountain’s heart began to tremble with fear.
Qin Hao disappeared, and someone appeared behind him.
Among them, there seemed to be no connection, but in reality, the connection was deep.
In this vast hall, who would dare to threaten him like this? Who else would dare to mock him with killing intent?
Who else but Qin Hao?
The next moment.
From behind came Qin Hao’s leisurely voice: "Is there anything you’d like to say?"
Instantly, Jin Mountain’s face became filled with terror, his scalp tingled, and his body couldn’t stop shaking!
Fear!
Fear swallowed his whole heart.
His teeth were clenched, breathing rapid and short, like someone about to suffocate!
Even if he guessed the person behind him might be Qin Hao, when reality struck, he was startled by it.
How could it be?
How can this be?
Why could he suddenly come behind me?
This is something utterly impossible to occur!
In the midst of fear, Jin Mountain’s heart raised a bewildered inquiry.
Yet, nothing provided him with an answer.
Qin Hao would certainly not answer him.
He merely placed his hands on Jin Mountain’s nape.
There, it was Jin Mountain’s carotid artery, with a light press, given Qin Hao’s finger strength, Jin Mountain would surely bleed to death.
"No, please!"
The threat of death approached, Jin Mountain was scared.
Even though he was an unsurpassed prodigy, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of powerlessness.
And beside him, the guards saw Jin Mountain captured and begging for mercy, becoming more terrified one by one.
Their job was to maintain order.
If Master Jin’s beloved grandson were to die, none of the guards present could be blameless.
Realizing this, everyone started shouting in terror.
"You little rascal, release Young Master Jin immediately!"
"How can you call yourself a hero? Let go of Young Master Jin and take us on!"
Facing their shouting, Qin Hao laughed dismissively: "I’m not inclined to bully so many of you."
With this comment, the guards became flushed with embarrassment.
In truth, it was they bullying with numbers, the true "coward" wasn’t Qin Hao, but them.
In desperation, a guard spoke up despite his shame: "If you’re dissatisfied, we can fight one-on-one."
"Haha." Qin Hao didn’t answer but just glared at the guard.
Suddenly, the guard felt mortified, could only lower his head, unwilling to speak.
He understood, seeing Qin Hao’s showcased extraordinary skill, it likely could thrash him to smithereens.
In sharp contrast to the atmosphere on Qin Hao’s side.
Not far away, the spectators displayed no emotion but internally felt elated.
Many present were just ordinary folks of the social circle.
They had often received disdain and mockery from those prodigies.
They harbored a hint of rebelliousness within their hearts.
Due to their personal limitations, their rebelliousness had nowhere to express.
But today, Qin Hao arrived.
This mysterious man was not only arrogant in character but possessed unmatched martial arts skills.
So many guards before him were like mere decorations.
The Cyan Cloud List prodigies before him were like lambs waiting for slaughter.
Isn’t this impressive?
Thinking and thinking, many passersby showed expressions of excitement.
"Impressive! Impressive to the heavens!"
"He Junren, Chu Tianyi, none of them aren’t famed debauched scions, yet before him, they are no different from dead dogs!"
"And Jin Mountain, the Jin Family’s next heir, usually controlling the winds and rains, treating us like pigs and dogs. Yet today, before this stranger, he’s like a coward!"
"This brother really is a supreme man of might!"
...
While the spectators were agitated, to the side, Jin Mountain "thud" fell on his knees.
He raised both hands in plea, his terrified distorted face full of tears and snot, and miserably said: "Please... please spare me!"
This previously cold and indifferent young master.
Was actually scared to tears by Qin Hao!
"Letting you go isn’t impossible. My shoes are a bit dirty."
Qin Hao said this, a hint of helplessness also in his heart.
How long has it been since he made someone lick his shoes?
All he wanted was to protect Jiaying and peacefully attend the gathering.
Why did Jin Mountain have to force this situation?
"I’ll lick! I’ll lick right now! When I turn around, please have mercy... do not kill me!"
Jin Mountain found hope for survival, how could he pass it up.
Having received Qin Hao’s response, he stiffly turned around, facing the lofty Qin Hao.
At this moment, Qin Hao was expressionless, but such expression in Jin Mountain’s eyes cut deeper.
Yet, he dared not resist.
He simply lowered his head, bent over, brought his mouth close to Qin Hao’s shoe tip, and stuck out his tongue to lick!
"Hiss!"
"Hiss!"
At the side, the guards gasped in shock, unsure of what to do.
Not far away, observers clenched their fists in awe, feeling their worldview shattered.
Just then, a voice said: "Elder Jin has arrived!"
As soon as the words were spoken, an old man walked out from the hall’s entrance.
The instant the old man appeared, every gaze cast over, full of reverence.
From the crowd’s perspective, the old man was rotund, dressed plainly, resembling an ordinary old fellow.
Yet, no one dared show any disrespect.
For one simple reason, this old man was Elder Jin, Jin Family’s ultimate foundation, the hero who established its empire!
Because Elder Jin lived, the Jin Family maintained its first-tier standing.
But on the day Elder Jin perishes, the Jin Family might decline, resting at second-tier, or even third-tier levels.
This illustrates how formidable Elder Jin’s status and strength truly were.
"What’s going on?"
With strides of a dragon and tiger, Elder Jin soon arrived before Qin Hao and others. Without furrowing his brow, everyone could sense his anger.
"Grandfather!"
Originally kneeling and licking, Jin Mountain suddenly looked up, face lighting up in joy, shouting: "This little rascal wants to kill me! Grandfather, quick, save me!"
Elder Jin looked at Jin Mountain kneeling before Qin Hao, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He understood his grandson’s talent, a genius among geniuses. His demeanor was notably composed and cold, possessing the potential of a future overlord.
Yet now, this prized grandson actually was kneeling before a stranger?
Elder Jin felt somewhat astonished, also a bit disappointed, this grandson truly lost face.
Unwilling to pay heed to Jin Mountain, Elder Jin faced the guards, inquiring: "Explain the situation."
