Lu Yuan, I'm Sorry

The deep void fell utterly silent.

All the powerful figures watching the battle were stunned.

A complete crushing defeat!

A merciless crushing defeat!

From beginning to end,

Nangong Muyue had not even been qualified to fight back.

"This is impossible!"

The old woman from the Bright Continent screamed until her voice broke. Her cloudy eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out.

Nangong Muyue was at the fourth layer of Break Limit, and so was Lu Yuan. According to the information they had gathered, there was absolutely no mistake about that.

But how had the outcome of their battle turned out like this?

Could there be some unknown gulf between Break Limit practitioners of the same level?

Questions arose in the hearts of all the powerful figures.

"Hahaha, good lad. Nicely done."

Sky-Pacifying Master burst into hearty laughter. In high spirits, he plucked the red wine gourd hanging from his waist and tipped his head back to take several large gulps.

Within the ranks of the Dark Immortal Hall,

the Dominator who had led the group narrowed his eyes. The killing intent in his heart was already growing wildly like weeds.

Within the forces of the other continents,

all the leaders had only one thought at this moment.

Should they have their own prodigies withdraw?

Law Crystals were precious, but their lives mattered more.

Judging from the terrifying combat power Lu Yuan had displayed, there was clearly no prodigy in the entire Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins who could stand against him.

If they continued staying inside, they could die at any moment.

Crimson Flame Ancient City.

The instant Lu Yuan attacked, Qing Wuji and the others attacked as well, charging furiously at the other prodigies of the Bright Continent.

Although Qing Wuji was no match for Nangong Muyue, against the other prodigies, his combat power was clearly a cut above theirs.

He quickly slaughtered the Bright Continent's prodigies, leaving them in utter disarray.

However, before Qing Wuji could enjoy his triumph for long, his attention was drawn to the commotion from Lu Yuan's battle.

Qing Wuji looked over. The next second, his entire body seemed to be fixed in place, turning into a wooden figure.

On the ruin-like street, as the dust gradually dispersed, Lu Yuan walked out. He was dragging someone in his hand.

Under Qing Wuji's incomparably astonished gaze,

Lu Yuan dragged Nangong Muyue into everyone's view by the leg.

"Damn, big brother, you're way too fierce."

Qing Wuji sucked in a cold breath, feeling as if his entire worldview had been refreshed.

How long had it been?

The peerless prodigy Nangong Muyue had actually been defeated just like that?

She had even been held in Lu Yuan's hand like a dead dog.

Lu Yuan did not respond to Qing Wuji.

With a light swing, he tossed Nangong Muyue in front of Qing Wuji.

Qing Wuji hurriedly crouched down and poked Nangong Muyue's cheek with his finger. Then he looked up at Lu Yuan as if he were looking at a monster and said, "She's foaming at the mouth. Lu Yuan, you really have no mercy for beautiful women."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. How tragic. Truly too tragic."

Qing Wuji shook his head and stood up.

Lu Yuan smiled. "You were defeated by someone else's sword, yet you still have the time to pity her?"

Qing Wuji said bitterly, "What can I do when my skill is inferior? But she really did meet a tragic end."

"What are you planning to do with her?"

"Kill her, obviously. What else? Let her go? If you want revenge, you can do it now." Lu Yuan spoke indifferently.

Qing Wuji clicked his tongue and shook his head. "This karma is too great. This woman is the Goddess of the Bright God Hall. Killing her will bring endless trouble. You do it."

Seeing that Qing Wuji did not dare to kill her, Lu Yuan said no more. He flipped his palm, and the Extreme Dao Saint Artifact, Demon Heaven Sword, appeared in his hand. With a wave from afar, an incomparably sharp sword qi cleaved through Nangong Muyue's head.

The next second, her head and body separated.

The peerless prodigy had perished right there.

Lu Yuan raised his head and swept his gaze across the surroundings. "Stop standing around. Kill everyone else. Leave no one alive!"

Qing Wuji nodded. "All right."

The two charged into the battlefield and began their slaughter.

Within the deep void,

all the powerful figures fell silent once again.

Only the Bright Continent's old woman continued to roar in unwilling fury, her voice echoing without end.

Sky-Pacifying Master rubbed the wine gourd in one hand and said, "This kid is ruthless. Dark Immortal Hall, you're in for a lot of trouble."

The Dominator of the Dark Immortal Hall said coldly, "He won't live much longer!"

Sky-Pacifying Master smiled faintly. "I don't care how you deal with this kid, but you cannot act within the Qingling Supreme Domain."

The Dominator of the Dark Immortal Hall also looked at Sky-Pacifying Master. "This place doesn't seem to be the Qingling Supreme Domain."

"I was ordered to escort these little fellows. Are you planning to act right under my nose?" Sky-Pacifying Master's eyes turned cold as well.

"Everything in this world can be negotiated, and everything has a price. Sky-Pacifying, name your price—or have your Qingling Star Travel name its price."

The Dominator of the Dark Immortal Hall spoke.

Upon hearing this, Sky-Pacifying Master said nothing more. He turned his gaze back to the scenes within the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins. His eyes, however, were vacant, clearly showing that his thoughts were not on the images.

At this moment, after witnessing Lu Yuan's ruthlessness, the powerful figures from the other continents no longer hesitated. They immediately issued orders for everyone to withdraw from the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins.

Before Law Crystals and an unparalleled prodigy, the latter was clearly more important.

At the same time,

far away, within the Dark Immortal Hall on the Dark Continent, a grand and resonant voice rang out.

"I don't want to see Lu Yuan on the Dark Continent ever again. Use any method you wish, but Lu Yuan must disappear from this world."

Inside Crimson Flame Ancient City,

with Lu Yuan and Qing Wuji joining the battle, the prodigies of the Bright Continent were quickly slaughtered to the last.

Their numbers had reached over a thousand.

With all of them dead, the younger generation of the Bright Continent had practically suffered a complete rupture.

There had originally only been twenty prodigies of Qingling Star Travel left. After this battle, only fifteen remained—five more had fallen.

At this moment, the others were all cleaning up the battlefield.

Lu Yuan and Qing Wuji, however, sat on the roof of a house with green tiles and blue bricks. Each of them held a jug of wine and drank.

After drinking for a while, Qing Wuji suddenly turned to look at Lu Yuan. His eyes were red as he said, "Lu Yuan, I'm sorry."

"Huh?"

Lu Yuan was a little bewildered. He did not understand what kind of madness had possessed Qing Wuji.

"You're not a woman. How have you wronged me?"

With a look of remorse, Qing Wuji said, "There's something I've never told you. Actually, everything we do inside the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins can be seen by the people outside."

"The people outside?" Lu Yuan was puzzled at first, but then he suddenly reacted. "You mean those powerful figures?!"

"Mm!"

Qing Wuji nodded.

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed tightly, and his thoughts grew somewhat chaotic. He was now wondering whether those powerful figures had seen him when he obtained the Ancient Abyss Divine Sword through signing in. If they had, that would be troublesome.

As for killing Nangong Muyue bringing trouble, that was inevitable. But Lu Yuan did not care. The Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins was, after all, a trial ground for prodigies, and anyone could fall there.

Those powerful figures might hate Lu Yuan because their own prodigies had perished, but that was all. They did not dare to act, because doing so would provoke the wrath of everyone.

"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail!"
