Chapter 14: Too Arrogant (Please Recommend, Please Favorite)

Su Ling and the others were also filled with anger, their fists clenched tightly, but the other side's momentum was fierce at this moment. Even with Brother Yuan and the others backing them, they didn't dare to challenge that edge right now.

"Alright, we don't have the patience to play with you. After all, you're Brother Liu's prey. After tomorrow, you won't have the face to say such things anymore."

Mu Yuan waved his hand, ready to leave with Xue Dong and the other.

After all, they had already shown off their might today.

If Brother Yuan had any brains, he would know what to do.

"Hitting people and thinking you can just walk away without leaving something behind—you really are arrogant, aren't you?"

What Mu Yuan never expected was that Brother Yuan actually wanted to stop them.

Su Ling and the others were stunned for a moment, then their faces flushed red. Clearly, they hadn't anticipated that even in this situation, Brother Yuan would still stand up for them.

"What did you say?"

At that moment, when Brother Yuan's cold voice reached the ears of Mu Yuan and his two companions, the three of them paused in their steps.

Turning around, they looked at the white-clad youth standing in front of Su Ling. The youth's face now carried a hint of mockery and amusement.

Mu Yuan's expression instantly darkened.

To be honest, he had grown used to being arrogant at the Northern Spiritual Academy. It had been a very, very long time since anyone had mocked him.

Especially not Brother Yuan.

"Didn't hear clearly? Then I'll say it again—you're really arrogant."

Brother Yuan stared calmly at Mu Yuan, repeating himself. His voice was very clear, and the smile on his face was almost radiant, as if he were praising someone.

Then, Brother Yuan added:

"But I hate it when people act arrogant, especially when you lot have laid hands on my people. So I want you to leave something behind."

"Looking for death!!!"

Xue Dong could no longer hold back. Losing to Mu Chen was already a deep grudge in his heart, and now this waste in his eyes, Brother Yuan, was humiliating him with words.

He almost lost his reason. His entire body turned into an arc, wind surging around him as he shot toward Brother Yuan.

Xue Dong was on the verge of stepping into the Spiritual Movement Realm and was one of the top ten strongmen of the West Courtyard Earth Tier. His strength was naturally no joke.

His body was as light as a flying bird, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Brother Yuan.

Without hesitation, he struck out with a palm!

"Brother Yuan, watch out!"

Luo Dong and the others hadn't expected Xue Dong to attack so suddenly, and with such ferocity. Within the Sensing Realm, almost no one could block this palm. They quickly shouted.

Only Mu Chen curled his lips.

"Truly asking for death."

Of all people Xue Dong could have picked, he had to pick Brother Yuan.

Right now, Brother Yuan was the strongest among them.

The same second Xue Dong made his move, Mu Yuan also acted.

Spiritual energy surged up from his arms as he stomped heavily on the ground, charging straight at Mu Chen.

"Your opponent is me."

Behind him, Xiao Kun quickly followed suit. Their movements were quite coordinated.

A wave of commotion spread through the surroundings.

Clearly, no one had expected Xue Dong to strike.

Nor had they anticipated Mu Yuan and Xiao Kun to be so decisive.

The three of them attacked together, their coordination surprisingly seamless.

Mu Yuan was at the initial stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm, the strongest of the three.

And then there was Xiao Kun.

Even if Mu Chen wasn't simple, the two of them could hold him off for a moment.

And in that moment, Brother Yuan was likely in for a world of pain.

With that thought, everyone turned their gaze to Brother Yuan.

They saw Xue Dong's palm drawing closer and closer to Brother Yuan.

One meter.

Half a meter.

A foot.

Imagining that he was about to be heavily struck by this palm, even those who disliked Brother Yuan couldn't help but feel a faint trace of sympathy.

Bang!

A dull thud rang out.

The scene everyone had imagined did not appear.

Instead, Xue Dong's figure came to a halt. His palm had not struck Mu Yuan's body—it was blocked by a single fist.

"This..."

The pupils of the crowd sharply contracted. Almost everyone froze in place.

Mu Yuan stood there like a peerless being. Just as Xue Dong's palm was about to land, he had used his fist to block that ferocious strike.

Was this the cultivation waste they knew?

Mu Yuan, Xiao Kun, Su Ling, Luo Dong... countless gazes fixed on Mu Yuan, filled with intense shock, bewilderment, and doubt.

Xue Dong was a formidable existence ranked in the top ten of the Earth Ranking. For someone to casually block a palm strike that was nearly at the peak of the Sensing Realm, they would at least need to be at the same cultivation level.

"You... how can you possess such strength?"

Xue Dong's pupils violently contracted.

For three years, this guy had been unable to sense the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth. Word had it that he only broke through to the Sensing Realm seven or eight days ago.

Back then, there were even rumors from the East Courtyard that as soon as this guy advanced to the Sensing Realm, he was already closing in on the Sensing Realm mid-stage.

When they heard those rumors, Xue Dong and the other West Courtyard disciples had sneered and refused to believe a word.

They just assumed the East Courtyard people were bragging.

But looking at it now, he was even more astonishing than the rumors suggested.

Xue Dong was certain he hadn't held back. Under these circumstances, the only person who could take his palm without budging an inch was Mu Chen before his breakthrough.

How long had it been? Had Mu Yuan already progressed this far?

It was utterly astonishing, like a dream.

Xue Dong stared at Mu Yuan, staring so hard it seemed he wanted to see right through him. But Mu Yuan was perfectly calm, and he could discern nothing.

"Bang!"

Before Xue Dong could snap out of his shock, Mu Yuan swept his right leg out and unceremoniously planted it against his chest.

The immense force sent Xue Dong's body flying straight into the air.

Then, amid another wave of stunned gazes, he crashed heavily into Mu Yuan and Xiao Kun.

In the blink of an eye.

Thud!

A low sound rang out. Mu Yuan and Xiao Kun, who had been locked in combat with Mu Chen, had no time to react before they were struck.

After three cries of pain rang out, the surrounding disciples finally came to their senses. They couldn't help but wince. That was too fast, wasn't it?

So fast that in a single exchange, Mu Yuan's trio had already been defeated.

"Brother Yuan is amazing!"

Su Ling and the others were also dumbfounded, then their faces erupted with wild joy.

They never imagined that Brother Yuan's strength would not only soar so rapidly, but his wit would also be unmatched. To crush the three of them in one go like this...

Especially since one of them was even at the initial stage of the Spiritual Movement Realm.

If they hadn't seen this feat with their own eyes, no one would believe it if they told them.

"Mu Yuan, we didn't lose. You're just too despicable!"

Mu Yuan glared at Mu Yuan, not even bothering to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Speaking of despicable, you were the ones who struck first with a sneak attack. Now you're the ones crying foul and blaming the victim. I'm truly embarrassed for you."

"Apologize right now!"

Mu Yuan stared at the disheveled Mu Yuan trio, his face calm, as if he had just done something utterly trivial.

Hearing this, Mu Yuan's expression shifted slightly. He ground his teeth and said, "Dream on!"

Mu Yuan raised an eyebrow lightly, then smiled at Mu Chen:

"He's all yours."

"Mm."

Mu Chen nodded, strode toward Mu Yuan, and at the same time, dark black Spiritual Energy coiled around his fingertips.

"I really like people with backbone like you."

Mu Yuan gave Mu Yuan a deep look.

For some reason, Mu Yuan felt a chill as if he had fallen into an icy river, and his body trembled violently.

A soft sound of clapping came from the side.

"Heh, you East Courtyard people sure are domineering. Don't you think you're looking down on us West Courtyard a little too much?"
