Chapter 2257 - 2260: I’m Looking Down on You—Come Hit Me If You Dare

Stop?

You think just because you tell me to stop, I will?

Hearing Senior Sister Ming Jing's voice behind him, Qin Tian only paused for a moment before breaking into a run!

He was well aware of Ming Jing's temper; if he really stopped, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"You think you can leave? How bold!"

In the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, Ming Jing was practically an untouchable presence. Except for the top ten Inner Sect disciples who could stand on equal footing with her, both Inner and Outer disciples would bow in respect upon seeing her.

But today, she never expected this person in front of her not only barged into her Cultivation Forbidden Land, but even dared to disrupt her cultivation.

He even had the audacity to disobey her command to stop, utterly brazen!

Swish swish!

Qin Tian thought he was fast, but he didn't anticipate Ming Jing's speed; she seemed to appear and vanish at will!

Especially in this mist, when Qin Tian prepared to fly into the sky, he realized that Ming Jing was already waiting above him.

"Who are you? A Xuanyuan Sect disciple? Why have I never seen you before?"

Ming Jing blocked Qin Tian's path, frowning as she asked.

"Newcomer." Qin Tian replied.

He knew speaking too much would only lead to trouble, so he chose to stay silent.

"Don't you know what place this is? How dare you interrupt my cultivation here!"

Ming Jing spoke with a condescending air.

Qin Tian didn't bother looking at her and simply nodded, "I only know this is Xuanyuan Mountain. As for where exactly, I truly don't know."

"Hmph, a newly arrived disciple of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, yet I've never seen someone as arrogant as you! Do you know who I am?"

"No clue."

"..."

Ming Jing was rendered speechless as Qin Tian bluntly dismissed her; his "No clue" made Ming Jing's face darken instantly!

"I originally intended to spare you, but you asked for this!"

Swish swish!

As soon as she decided to act, Ming Jing launched a surprise attack at Qin Tian!

Ming Jing's move was the Finger-Flashing True Qi. If Qin Tian were hit, he'd surely die on the spot!

Qin Tian had predicted Ming Jing would strike, so he dodged in advance when he saw the brief shift in her eyes.

"How dare you dodge!" Ming Jing frowned.

Qin Tian was speechless, "If I don't dodge, you'll kill me. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"You!"

This remark was nothing short of mocking Ming Jing, and she immediately lashed out once more!

Bam!

Ming Jing's strike was about to hit Qin Tian, but just then she realized, "True Qi phantom! Are you trying to escape?"

Indeed, Qin Tian had left a True Qi phantom opposite Ming Jing while he made his getaway.

Though he didn't know this woman's identity, she could intimidate someone like Jiang Feng into submission, proving she held significant sway in the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

No matter if he could defeat her or not, Qin Tian knew taking action would either mean killing her or facing endless repercussions. Thus, he decided to flee as he had no interest in a fight!

Whoosh!

Qin Tian transformed into a streak of light, escaping as Ming Jing attacked. Furious, Ming Jing turned into a streak of light herself, pursuing Qin Tian!

"This newcomer isn't slow."

Initially, she thought she'd catch Qin Tian within a minute.

Unexpectedly, two minutes later, they still maintained several hundred meters of distance with no sign of closure, causing Ming Jing to reassess Qin Tian.

"Let's see where you run off to!"

Three minutes later, Ming Jing caught up with Qin Tian, who had already landed and stopped running since he had reached the Outer Sect's plaza.

As Ming Jing landed, over a dozen disciples on the Outer Sect plaza froze.

"Senior Sister Ming Jing."

"Greetings, Senior Sister."

"Greetings, Senior Sister..."

The Outer Sect disciples greeted Ming Jing respectfully.

So, this is a Xuanyuan Immortal Sect disciple; judging by appearances, he must hold a high rank within the Inner Sect.

Qin Tian smiled at Ming Jing and said, "So, it's Senior Sister. Thanks for the spar. Until next time."

"Hmph, you are the first to dare disregard me; you won't escape!"

Ming Jing shouted and was about to attack Qin Tian.

Originally about to leave, Qin Tian suddenly turned back, grinning at Ming Jing and said, "Senior Sister Ming Jing, are you sure you want to kill me here in the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's Outer Sect?" Swish!

As soon as Qin Tian said this, Ming Jing's hand, gathering True Qi, came to an abrupt halt.

She glanced around and froze.

The nearby dozen Outer disciples were all sneaking glances at them.

In the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, both Inner and Outer, unless under special circumstances, disciples were forbidden from fighting outside the Martial Arts Arena, or they'd face sect rules punishment!

Ming Jing was paralyzed.

Unexpectedly, she let her guard down and allowed Qin Tian to reach the Outer Sect.

She hesitated, released her hold, and glared at Qin Tian, gnashing her teeth in fury, "What's your name?"

She was most infuriated by Qin Tian's dismissiveness; for someone who was always revered, to suddenly be scorned filled her with rage.

Since she couldn't act now, she'd remember the name for future reckoning.

"Sorry, I forgot. Bye."

To her surprise, Qin Tian grew even more arrogant upon reaching the Outer Sect, refusing to disclose his name to Ming Jing, quickly flying toward the Inner Sect!

"An Inner Sect disciple!?"

Seeing Qin Tian heading to the Inner Sect, Ming Jing was momentarily stunned.

By the time she realized it, Qin Tian had already disappeared from her view.

"You there, come over here."

Ming Jing motioned for five nearby Outer disciples to approach, who came, heads bowed in compliance.

"What instructions does Senior Sister have?" one asked softly, like a child who had erred.

"Was that disciple just now an Inner Sect disciple?" Ming Jing inquired.

"Yes."

"Do you know his name and which elder is he under?"

"Senior Sister, he's named Qin Tian, under Honorary Chief Elder Wang Tianqing."

Upon hearing this, Ming Jing was taken aback.

"He is Qin Tian..."

She said no more, heading straight for the Inner Sect.

Qin Tian, that name, had been discussed among Inner Sect disciples when she returned from cultivation recently.

Ming Jing, usually uninterested in sect affairs, remembered Qin Tian due to Wang Tianqing's exceptional decision to take him as a disciple.

After Ming Jing departed, the Outer Sect disciples began whispering among themselves.

"Wow, today Senior Sister Ming Jing visited the Outer Sect and nearly clashed with Qin Tian; interesting."

"Absolutely; if not for the sect rules, Senior Sister Ming Jing would likely have attacked Qin Tian early on."

"Indeed, how did Qin Tian provoke Senior Sister Ming Jing? Isn't he courting death by angering our sect's ruthless Tie Shi woman?"

"Certainly, Qin Tian might think he's powerful after two duel victories, but recklessly provoking Senior Sister Ming Jing is asking for trouble."
