Duke Long had already made up his mind. He would kill Mu Yuan outright later.
Of course, it would be fun to toy with this little ant before crushing it, wouldn't it?
After a moment of silence, Mu Yuan said seriously,
"Are you an idiot? Or did you not finish elementary school? Can't you understand the literal meaning?"
Yep.
Very serious.
Not a hint of joking in his tone.
The entire valley seemed to have a mute button pressed, the silence was terrifying!
Drip! Drip!
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Liu Wan'er's forehead, trickling down her eyebrows. Her pretty face grew paler and paler, finally turning ashen.
She knew things had gone sideways.
The moment Mu Yuan uttered the words "I disagree," the outcome was already sealed.
In fact, who in the audience actually agreed?
But who dared to say it out loud?
Didn't they see that even the overbearing and arrogant Green Bat had lowered its head?
To survive in the cruel Great Thousand World, isn't knowing how to lie a necessary skill?
Liu Wan'er was filled with both despair and bitterness.
Li Lang's face was also incredibly grim.
This arrogant Mu Yuan was going to get them all killed.
At that moment.
Liu Tairong, Wang Kangping, Yuan Xueyang, and the others were also stunned by Mu Yuan's words, and they stared at him, their faces filled with bewilderment.
This mid-Spirit Movement Realm ant was the epitome of courting death.
In their eyes, Mu Yuan was already as good as dead, but they had to admire his ability to tempt fate.
That was simply audacious, a masterclass in courting death.
Even the Green Bat couldn't help but glance at the ant he'd never paid attention to.
He'd remember this little ant, using him as a cautionary tale for his future travels in the Great Thousand World.
Even Duke Long himself was too shocked to speak.
He didn't know what "graduating elementary school" meant, but that didn't stop him from understanding the insult.
To call him an idiot – even Xu Guang from the West Spirit Realm wouldn't dare say something like that to his face.
Duke Long stared fixedly at Mu Yuan, the killing intent in his eyes almost palpable.
"You truly deserve to die!!!"
Nie Daoqun finally snapped out of the daze he'd been in.
Duke Long had been insulted, and in such a vulgar way! He could hardly believe it.
His mind had been blank for what felt like half a day, and he still hadn't recovered.
At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to crush Mu Yuan to eliminate the slightest trace of anger in his heart.
"Duke Long, killing this kind of trash would only dirty your hands. Let this lowly one do the dirty work for you!"
Of course, Nie Daoqun wouldn't dare to act without Duke Long's permission.
This must be what they call a lickspittle!
Mu Yuan was seeing it firsthand today.
Duke Long had regained a sliver of his composure, but the rage in his heart burned even hotter.
"Killing him is too easy. I want him to suffer a fate worse than death!!!"
A thick, sinister expression twisted his lips, and his gaze at Mu Yuan was filled with cruelty and amusement.
He had never been cursed so thoroughly before.
Therefore, he had already decided to give Mu Yuan a proper "welcome."
However, as Nie Daoqun had said, an ant at the Spirit Movement Realm's mid-stage didn't deserve to die by his hand; it would dirty his hands.
Mu Yuan wasn't worthy.
"Yes."
Nie Daoqun nodded heavily, forcefully suppressing his killing intent to steady his emotions.
After a moment, Nie Daoqun turned to look at Mu Yuan, a sneer twisting his lips.
"Little ant, are you regretting it now? Regretting that I didn't cleave you in two with one strike?"
However, what answered him were three words from Mu Yuan, spoken to himself:
"Draw Sword Technique!"
And with that, Mu Yuan raised his hand.
Body, mind, and sword, all in one.
Pfft!
A sword gleamed, impossibly fast.
Faster than the eye could follow!
Nie Daoqun's grin froze, his eyes widening in disbelief. His mind went blank, consumed by a single, terrifying thought: Am I going to die?
He truly sensed the taste of death coming from this ant of a man.
How could this be?
This single strike was even faster than his Nine Blade Arts!
But there was no time to think.
He didn't want to die.
Nie Daoqun's spiritual energy churned violently, reaching its peak as he summoned a barrier of spiritual energy in front of him.
Unfortunately, that barrier was utterly useless, as if it didn't even exist. It failed to stop the sword's energy, which easily sliced through his body.
Whoosh.
Mu Yuan's sword was already back in its sheath, as if he hadn't moved at all.
"You!"
That was all Nie Daoqun managed to say before collapsing onto the ground. Blood stained the earth, and his face was etched with shock and confusion.
He couldn't understand why that single sword strike had ignored his defenses.
Sadly, it was a question he would take to his grave.
Almost everyone was stunned at this moment.
Everyone had seen Nie Daoqun's strength.
He had easily broken through Liu Wan'er's defenses, and aside from Green Bat and Duke Long, it wasn't an exaggeration to say he was the strongest person present.
Yet, he was killed with a single sword strike in front of Mu Yuan?
Killed with a single strike!
Even the strongest Duke Long could easily defeat Nie Daoqun, but he couldn't kill him with a single strike!
Silence descended upon the entire valley.
The geniuses present were stunned for dozens of breaths, their minds buzzing, before they gradually recovered. Their gazes towards Mu Yuan were completely different now.
Everyone was filled with shock and disbelief.
No one could understand how someone in the mid-Spirit Movement Realm could defeat someone in the Spirit Wheel Realm. There was a whole major realm difference between them!
"Nie Daoqun, you deserved to die!"
Liu Wan'er said slowly, but she still couldn't hide her inner shock.
Because, yesterday, when Mu Yuan had put his sword to her neck, he hadn't used this move.
In her opinion, Mu Yuan's strongest move was undoubtedly his fists.
But she never expected that Mu Yuan would also know such a bizarre technique.
"This should be the legendary Draw Sword Technique!"
That sword, it was truly powerful!
She was also incredibly relieved that Mu Yuan hadn't used this move against her yesterday.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have even had a chance to explain herself before becoming a corpse.
Gulp.
Li Lang swallowed hard.
"Liu Wan'er said he wasn't an ant before, and that he'd defeated Zhang Long... this was all actually true!"
Li Lang's thoughts were practically frozen at this moment.
"He also said that no matter how strong the opponent was, it would only take one sword. If one sword wasn't enough, then two..."
"I was scoffing at him back then, even said some disrespectful words… Thinking back now, I was truly laughable…"
The strength Mu Yuan displayed was even stronger than the Green Bat, perhaps even not weaker than Duke Long!
In the dead silence, Mu Yuan laughed, a trace of bored mockery flashing across his face.
"Make me wish I were dead? Heh…"
He turned his head slightly, looking at Duke Long, and raised an eyebrow:
"I said I didn't agree, I said you're an idiot, so what? You don't agree with what I said?"
