"No need for politeness, are you really treating me like a fool? That strike of yours was clearly meant to kill me. What did I ever do to you?" The strong figure from the Bright Divine Sect spoke coldly.
Do you really think I'm just a kindergarten kid?
Then, runes danced around the figure from the Bright Divine Sect, emanating a terrifying aura. Very quickly, a sphere of light formed and suddenly shot towards the strong figure from Jiuxian Academy, causing the heavens and earth to tremble with the strike.
"Master Feng, that's enough!" The powerful figure from Jiuxian Academy rose into the air, avoiding the attack.
Meanwhile, Duan Yuan stood with his hands in his pockets as though watching a show. With a small trick, he had them turn on each other. Truly, two fools.
"Duan Yuan!" At that moment, the strong figure from Heaven Slayer Academy shouted fiercely, accompanied by the sound of lightning and thunder. A spear, swift as lightning, tore through the air towards Duan Yuan.
At the same time, the strong figures from Celestial Demon Academy also made their move. Their disciples had perished in the hall; how could they let it go so easily? Otherwise, what face would their academies have?
In an instant, the attacks from both formidable figures from the Saint Heaven Realm roared toward Duan Yuan.
Duan Yuan shouted, "Disperse!"
With his voice, the high-ranking staff and bodyguards of the Celestial Universe International Hotel all retreated. Then a Bagua formed in Duan Yuan's hands, merging yin and yang, reversing their roles.
In an instant, the Bagua descended from the sky, aiming to suppress the two formidable figures from the Saint Heaven Realm, annihilating everything in its path.
Boom~
A loud explosion occurred, waves surged forth, and then the two mighty figures from the academies were seen stepping back, their eyes filled with shock.
"So strong!"
They never expected Duan Yuan to possess such strength. Although they were of the same realm, compared to Duan Yuan, they were far behind, as if they were not even on the same level.
Duan Yuan stood with hands behind his back, gazing at the two powerful figures from Heaven Slayer Academy and Celestial Demon Academy, and spoke indifferently, "You really think that the Celestial Universe International is so easy to bully?"
Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions turned sour. In this world where martial arts reign supreme within the Ancient Martial Realm, words mean nothing unless backed by strength.
Inside the hall, after Xiao Tianyu slaughtered Yan Tong, he turned to Shangguan Biyue and said, "Let's go!"
He said this casually, as if it was nothing for him to stroll out after slaying the prodigies of various factions. Many were left bewildered.
Someone exclaimed, "What the hell? They're just leaving like that?"
"You stop them then!"
"I'd like to live a few more years!"
"That's just it!" someone rolled their eyes at the speaker, thinking, damn, this guy is the strongest in the hall. Who dares to stop him, unless they have a death wish?
"Friends, why in such a hurry to leave?" At that moment, Mo Kongfan smiled and spoke, "Ye here loves to befriend heroes; why not sit down for a drink?"
"What, you want to chat with King Yama too?" Xiao Tianyu's voice was cold, making Mo Kongfan turn deathly pale in an instant.
Meanwhile, Long Ling'Er smiled softly, "I suspect inviting my brother for a drink is just a pretense to stall for time. You think such petty tricks could fool even me, let alone Brother Xiao. Calling you stupid seems unjust because even pigs are smarter!"
Wow~
Upon these words, a wave of cold intent spread from Ye Kongfan, who said, "I meant well in making friends, yet you don't appreciate it!"
"With you, it's not worth it!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was icy as he began walking toward the door.
What was happening? Was he actually leaving through the main entrance?
Is he stupid?
The main entrance had several formidable Saint Heaven Realm figures fighting. Leaving that way is suicidal, isn't it? Damn, avoiding the back door to use the front; if that isn't courting death, what is?
Stunned.
Many people in the hall were stunned. If anyone else had slain the prodigies of various academies, they'd surely sneak out the back door to flee, wouldn't they? But Xiao Tianyu? Instead, he chose the main entrance. Isn't that stepping into the lion's mouth?
"Brother Xiao?" even Long Ling'Er seemed a bit baffled.
"What is it?"
"Are… are you sure you want to leave through the main entrance?"
"Just some small fries," Xiao Tianyu replied seriously.
"…" At his words, Long Ling'Er was left speechless. Small fries? Brother Xiao, I just want to ask, are you sure those formidable Saint Heaven Realm figures at the door are small fries? How come I've never seen such powerful small fries?
Moreover, I've seen people seeking death, but never quite like you.
Not just Long Ling'Er, even Lu Die'Er's beautiful eyes flickered with curiosity. They all wondered if his courage was not a bit excessive; did he really think himself the master of Emperor Star Academy?
Without a word, Xiao Tianyu continued making his way toward the door.
Long Ling'Er tugged at Xiao Tianyu's sleeve earnestly, "Brother Xiao, now is not the time to play hero. Wait until your cultivation improves, and then we can leave through the main entrance, okay?"
"Hey hey, Brother Xiao, the more I talk, the faster you walk. You're only in your twenties; you've got a world of youth ahead, don't go getting yourself killed!"
Long Ling'Er was mystified. Even if the guy wanted to play hero, this wasn't the way to do it, was it?
"You're the one headed for death!" Xiao Ziyan glanced at Long Ling'Er: "My second brother is unmatched in the world!"
"…" Long Ling'Er was speechless. How could Brother Xiao have such a naive little sister? Unmatched in the world? Does she think we're in some fantasy drama?
Before long, Xiao Tianyu and his friends really reached the doorway. Duan Yuan glanced at Xiao Tianyu with respect, about to speak, when Xiao Tianyu said, "I'll leave it to you!"
Those short four words stunned Long Ling'Er, her pupils dilating. She wanted to ask, Brother Xiao, are you sure Duan Yuan will follow your words? He's with Celestial Universe International, isn't he?
Then, Long Ling'Er's eyes flashed, "Brother Xiao!"
"What?"
"Is Duan Yuan your brother?"
"No!"
"Is he your subordinate?"
"No!"
"…" Long Ling'Er was dumbfounded. Not a brother, not a subordinate, yet he would obey you?
And Xiao Ziyan chimed in, "He's my brother's subordinate!"
Oops~
Upon hearing their words, Long Ling'Er and Lu Die'Er were floored, almost spewing blood. Okay, Xiao Ziyan, you win.
"Alright!" As they talked, Duan Yuan let out the sound.
This… this Duan Yuan actually agreed?
Speechless.
Long Lingruo and Lu Die'Er were utterly in shock, staring blankly at Xiao Tianyu. Could… could he truly be Duan Yuan's superior? I swear, from any angle, it doesn't add up.
"Duan Yuan, dare to let him leave, aren't you afraid of the repercussions with Celestial Universe… maybe it's better if he leaves?" The strong figure from Jiuxian Academy saw the murderous intent in Duan Yuan's eyes and instantly relented. No choice; Duan Yuan was mightier.
As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there'll be no scarcity of firewood to burn. Now is not the time to clash with Duan Yuan.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiao Tianyu led the group out the main entrance with grandeur, and no one dared to stop them.
This scene left countless people puzzled. What… what is Xiao Tianyu's relationship with Celestial Universe International?
Especially Long Ao, his face beyond pale. Today, Xiao Tianyu stole the limelight, yet he still managed to leave alive?
