Chapter 447: Chapter 415: Arrogance_1

A massive surge of Qi and Blood rose straight into the sky, a terrifying aura of sombre killing pervaded the whole County City. Everyone within felt an inexplicable heaviness in their hearts. The higher their martial arts cultivation, the clearer this feeling was.

From three directions, three auras were emanating, without any concealment.

“Three Martial Arts Grandmasters have actually arrived, all at once.”

The prominent figures in the County City were all astoundingly speechless.

They had anticipated that Martial Arts Grandmasters would come, after all, what Xu Mu had done was too dramatic, whether it was the killing of the Prefectural Governor or the merciless killing of half of the martial artists in the city. What they didn’t expect was that not only did the Grandmasters arrive, but three came at the same time and quite quickly, at that.

They knew that even from the moment Xu Mu reached County City, not even a day had passed, and the city with Martial Arts Grandmasters stationed was still thousands of miles from here at its closest.

Such quick response, and the ability to mobilize three Grandmasters at the same time… Could it be…

Some people started to make some assumptions, their hearts beating wildly.

Yang Jiang and Zhang Ergou, who were still harnessing their own power, rushed towards Xu Mu. Meanwhile, Wu Chengbo and the goatee elder wisely kept themselves far away.

The destruction power of a battle between Martial Ancestors was simply startling, let alone there being four. Even with Wu Chengbo’s peak Martial Emperor cultivation, he could have been killed by the aftershocks.

Luckily, the three arrivals of Martial Ancestors seemed to have sensed this and hadn’t directly entered the city to fight Xu Mu.

If they really intended to fight within the city, they would have chosen to hide their auras and surprise him. Now they brazenly released their aura, giving a clear indication of a different intent.

“Could we potentially step out for a meeting!”

An aged voice instantly reverberated through the whole county.

“Young Master, you can’t go. It’s definitely a trap!”

Yang Jiang rushed over urgently and stated.

“Yeah! Three against one is simply shameless!” cried Zhang Ergou in anger.

As for Yin Wen, he was still in the city collecting the blood essence of wild beasts and hadn’t returned yet.

“Why not.”

Xu Mu replied indifferently. Though his voice was not loud, it echoed throughout the city.

“Young Master!”

Before the two could further discourage him, Xu Mu had already disappeared from his original spot. The two hurriedly followed only to see Xu Mu’s retreat.

They wanted to catch up, but despite Xu Mu’s leisurely pace, the distance between them gradually increased. In just two breaths’ time, Xu Mu’s figure had disappeared.

“Wait for me in the city.”

Xu Mu’s voice echoed in their ears.

“This…”

Zhang Ergou still wanted to follow but was held back by Yang Jiang.

“Have you forgotten the Young Master’s temper?”

“But… Sigh!”

Zhang Ergou sighed, unable to keep going.

Before he cultivated himself, he didn’t notice it. But now that he had his own cultivation, he deeply sensed how incredibly powerful the three sudden visitors were.

While he had been full of confidence in Xu Mu, he couldn’t help but worry now.

For, he couldn’t feel Xu Mu’s aura and therefore, he couldn’t gauge his strength.

Fear of the unknown.

Hearing their conversation, the regular people who had been worrying about the imminent war of Martial Ancestors finally relaxed somewhat; many people who had planned to run had also stopped in their tracks.

With no imminent threat to their lives, people’s attention was finally drawn to this extraordinary battle.

This battle carried significant meaning.

If three Martial Ancestors combined could not take down Xu Mu, it would mean that he could move unhindered, like a fish in water or a bird in the sky, with nobody around to stop him.

Although Da Xia Nation had the Martial Saint, the Saint wouldn’t necessarily hold an absolute upper hand over a Martial Ancestor. If Xu Mu could deal with the combined attack of the three Grandmasters, escaping from the Martial Saint would be a mere trifle.

If he couldn’t resist the combined attack of the three Grandmasters, this could very well be the day of his demise.

It would be the day of the death of an unprecedented genius. This news would be enough to rock the entire Da Xia and in the future it could even spread throughout the entire continent.

Xu Mu appeared to be only in his teens. A teenage Martial Arts Grandmaster was almost unimaginable.

As the speculations raged, Xu Mu appeared outside the city.

Standing in front of him was an elderly man, with white hair and a straight back. He looked about sixty or seventy years old.

Seeing Xu Mu’s face, the old man’s eyes flashed with surprise.

There were various methods of retaining youthful looks throughout the continent, but none that could reverse an old man back into a youth. If some method like transformation had been used, he would have sensed it with his level of cultivation.

Moreover, he sensed a vitality in Xu Mu that only those with strong life force possess.

It meant that Xu Mu’s age might well be what it appeared to be.

A Martial Arts Grandmaster in his teens, this was not just an exceptional prodigy, it was truly monstrous.

Only a monster could reach such a high level at such a young age.

Originally, he had doubted the news but decided to go personally with two Martial Arts Grandmasters, in fear of the possibility.

Now it appeared that his decision could not have been more correct.

Otherwise, he alone might not have been able to completely restrain the opponent.

Such a monster, if allowed to escape, would inevitably cause innumerable troubles in the future.

However, Xu Mu’s next sentence made his heart leap into his throat.

“You must be Da Xia’s National Wusheng, Xiao Tianyuan! Hiding your cultivation level like this does not suit the name you’ve gained!” Xu Mu said with a smile.

Xiao Tian Yuan couldn’t stop his gaze from hardening. He hadn’t expected Xu Mu to discern his identity straight away.

He couldn’t understand how, knowing his identity, Xu Mu had chosen not to flee!

A Wusheng, along with two top-level Martial Ancestors, could he really manage to handle this?

“Since you already know my name, why not give yourself up? As soon as we get to the bottom of this, it is not impossible for your life to be spared,” Xiao Tian Yuan suppressed the shock in his heart, and said calmly.

By this time, the other two Martial Ancestors had quietly arrived and blocked his escape routes.

Their only job was to restrain Xu Mu and prevent his escape when the time came.

“Haha!”

Xu Mu couldn’t help but laugh.

“If your strength was ten thousand times greater, such words would be fitting. As it is, you sound rather ridiculous.”

“Ridiculous? You’re certainly boastful.” Xiao Tian Yuan’s tone grew colder.

Xu Mu’s words belittled him to the extreme.

What does ten thousand times mean? Could it be that he is inferior to a mere Martial Artist in the eyes of the opponent?

The other two had icy looks in their eyes, thinking Xu Mu to be overly arrogant.

Even the six strongest Martial Emperors on the continent wouldn’t dare say they were ten thousand times stronger than Xiao Tian Yuan.

However, Xu Mu’s next words revealed even more arrogance and inflamed the resentment in their hearts.

“It’s rare to find someone with somewhat decent capabilities. How about you serve me instead? If you do a good job, I can even help you reach the level of a Martial Emperor.”

“Impudent youngster! You’re courting death!”
