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.

Just wait, when he experiences the power of Lord Xiao Tian Yuan, he will realize how foolish he has been.

“Alright!”

Xiao Tian Yuan roared with laughter. His aura surged once again, far surpassing that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

The town was shocked by this powerful aura, leaving everyone speechless.

Martial Saint!

It’s actually a Martial Saint!!

They could not believe that the National Wusheng had come in person.

“He’s done for now!!”

Everyone felt a sense of satisfaction, considering Xu Mu as good as dead.

On the other side, Yang Jiang and the others felt a chill coursing through them.

Despite recognizing Xu Mu’s terrifying strength, the fame of Martial Saint Xiao Tian Yuan was too great. They had practically grown up hearing tales of his power.

In their eyes, Xiao Tian Yuan was invincible, their own god. There was nothing in this world he couldn’t accomplish.

Now that Xu Mu was confronting their revered deity, how could they believe that Xu Mu could win?

Luckily they didn’t know the situation on the battlefield, otherwise, they would be even more desperate.

On the battlefield, Xiao Tian Yuan had reached the peak of his aura. An illusory image of an ape merged with his body. With one foot stomping, the ground within a radius of miles crumbled, with pebbles bouncing around.

The ground trembled. Ghostly howls filled the air amidst the blaring explosion of the airflow. Xiao Tian Yuan, like a demonic god, materialized within a blink, fists clenched, and landed a fierce blow.

BOOM!

With the release of Xiao Tian Yuan’s punch, a visible ring-shaped shockwave, like a wave, was cut open by his fist, spreading out on both sides.

Wherever the punch passed, the ground cracked, and the air roared like thunder, vibrating back and forth.

Even though it was just a simple, straight punch, it was laden with formidable strength capable of killing a Martial Ancestor.

“Too weak!”

Xu Mu dismissed his attack with a shake of his head and let himself be hit in the chest.

Just a dull thud, and Xu Mu stood unscathed, not moving an inch.

On the contrary, Xiao Tian Yuan’s complexion slightly changed, and he was pushed back.

The comparison of their strengths became evident.

The two watching Martial Arts Grandmasters almost lost their senses at this scene.

How was this possible? Xu Mu managed to fend off a blow from the Martial Saint without a scratch. Even though Xiao Tian Yuan only unleashed five percent of his strength, it couldn’t be blocked this easily.

It must be an illusion. We refuse to be deceived by it.

The two didn’t trust what they were seeing, thinking that Xu Mu was using tricks to fool them.

Only Xiao Tian Yuan understood the terrifying power of Xu Mu. He was deeply shaken.

Although he felt that his strength seemed inferior to Xu Mu, he didn’t give up.

Anyone who dares to withstand the three hundred attacks of his will surely die, even if he were the Martial Emperor.

Xiao Tian Yuan’s eyes bulged. He no longer held back and his body swiftly expanded. He soon morphed into an enormous ape with purple pupils and black hair all over, standing almost thirty feet tall.

The expanse of space within thousands of miles was boiling over because of the Purple Crystal Demon Ape Xiao Tian Yuan had transformed into.

The black Demonic Qi wildly converged, covering the entire earth and sky, making it seem like the end of the world. The towering Purple Crystal Demon Ape stood in the middle of the world, like a god of destruction, a pillar supporting the heavens, exuding a sense of wildness and invincibility.

“Roar!”

The Purple Crystal Demon Ape bashed his chest, displayed his sharp teeth, roared towards the sky, then turned his gaze to Xu Mu. His fists clenched like two mountains, and he aimed them at Xu Mu.
