Li Yun took one unhurried step through the Formation Barrier and appeared before everyone.
Every face changed.
They could scarcely believe it.
They had all assumed that although this stranger had made a move, he would never dare come out and face more than seven hundred Dao Sages from three factions. Surely he would rely on Bright Moon Spirit Tide Valley's terrifying Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation and fight them from afar.
Who could have imagined Li Yun would actually dare step outside?
At that moment.
Beyond the Formation Barrier, a gentle mountain breeze lifted a corner of Li Yun's robe and stirred his broad sleeves. Li Yun alone stood unmoving, as straight as an ancient pine.
His gaze swept slowly over the faces of the seven hundred-odd Dao Sages. There was not a trace of panic on his face, only an ease that was no bluff—so effortless it almost seemed artful.
He spoke softly.
"You've been attacking for quite a while. You must be tired, right?"
"Why not stop and have some tea?"
Azure Heaven Ancestor, Ancestor Yan Tian, and Jin Shiyue all felt their eyelids twitch. Beneath their skin, a darkness as black as a pot's bottom spread rapidly across their faces.
Ancestor Yan Tian could hold back no longer and roared.
"Who the fuck wants your tea?"
"Did you come out here just to humiliate us?"
"Do you really want to die?"
Li Yun did not get angry. He smiled faintly and fixed his gaze on Ancestor Yan Tian.
With a perfectly earnest expression, he said, "Yes, I want to die... Can you kill me?"
"You..."
The absurd reply choked Ancestor Yan Tian into silence.
He trembled with rage.
But he was no three-year-old child. A little provocation would not make him attack outright.
The situation was plain enough.
