Chapter 448: Chapter 416: Purple Crystal Demon Ape_1
“Kid, do you know who you are talking to? He is the National Wusheng of Da Xia Nation, a peerless master on the Martial Saint List! Even the Emperor of Da Xia Nation must kneel when talking to him!”
“Kneel down immediately and apologize to him, otherwise I swear you won’t live long enough to regret being on this Earth!”
The two Martial Ancestors were furious at Xu Mu’s arrogant remarks, ready to decapitate Xu Mu at Xiao Tian Yuan’s command.
Such audacious remarks – even the Martial Emperor who controls the six nations would not dare to utter them.
Unlike his subordinates, Xiao Tian Yuan blinked, not replying immediately in anger.
Xu Mu’s words did indeed infuriate and offend him, but he was past the impulsive age of letting his emotions control him.
He was thinking deeper.
Xu Mu knowingly spoke insolently despite being aware of his status. Was he really just self-absorbed? Or was he trying to provoke him into losing his rationality?
Xiao Tian Yuan felt there must be more to it.
If the former possibilities are ruled out, then there’s only one possibility left. Xu Mu might be really confident. Otherwise, only a fool would say such words.
Xu Mu could not be a fool. A fool couldn’t cultivate to this realm.
“If you can withstand my three attacks, talking of you becoming my subordinate is not unthinkable,” replied Xiao Tian Yuan in a calm tone.
This statement left the two men on the side speechless.
Could it be that the man truly believed the nonsense Xu Mu was spouting?
Engaging in such a wager is immensely disgraceful, regardless of the outcome.
In their eyes, Xiao Tian Yuan was the supreme being in Da Xia Nation. To have him serve as a subordinate or to speak even a bad word against him would be considered extremely disrespectful.
Yet, Tian Yuan seemed to be going along with Xu Mu’s whim, agreeing to a bet with him.
The two were almost to the point of bursting with rage, wanting to take a swing at Xu Mu, but Xiao Tian Yuan’s long-standing prestige restrained them from acting recklessly.
“Let alone three moves, I wouldn’t mind even thirty or three hundred moves!” Xu Mu replied nonchalantly.
“If that’s the case, let’s make it three hundred moves then.”
Xiao Tian Yuan had the intention of letting Xu Mu dig his own grave.
The two Martial Ancestors on the side quickly understood Xiao Tian Yuan’s intention.
He was clearly using Xu Mu’s arrogance to lay a trap for him.
Now that Xu Mu had agreed, he would have to endure three hundred moves. Not even a Martial Emperor could stand still and take three hundred attacks from Xiao Tian Yuan.
If Xu Mu were to regret halfway, it would damage his morale, allowing them to gain an upper hand.
Although they understood Xiao Tian Yuan’s plan, they still felt it was not worthwhile.
It demonstrated that Xiao Tian Yuan was taking Xu Mu very seriously, feeling that he could not defeat or retain him through conventional means, hence setting this trap.
They simply couldn’t believe that this teenager, no matter how extraordinary an opportunity he might have had or even if he started his cultivation from birth, could pose a significant threat.
No matter what, they both staunchly disbelieved that Xu Mu could defeat Xiao Tian Yuan.
Regardless of what they thought, they couldn’t do anything as Tian Yuan had already made the decision.
On the other hand, Xu Mu agreed to Xiao Tian Yuan’s proposal with a smile, seemingly oblivious to the obvious trap in his words.
“Let’s begin!”
His hands were behind his back as he casually instructed.
His calm demeanor caused the two Martial Ancestors, who initially didn’t think much of him, to feel a sudden shock in their hearts, as they sensed something was awry.
Does he have any idea whom he’s about to face?
This is a Martial Saint who, despite his old age, is not at all inferior to a peak Martial Saint.
