After killing Chu Beixiong, Lin Mo stood proudly before everyone, his dominant and cold demeanor emanating throughout the space, making everyone present feel as insignificant as ants.
Lin Mo was not one to kill indiscriminately. He had given Xuanyuan Chen a chance before, but Xuanyuan Chen dared to scheme against him, which was simply courting death.
Ye Kai felt both hatred and anger in his heart, especially now that Chu Beixiong had died at the hands of Lin Mo.
"Who is causing trouble?"
Suddenly, a supremely dominant presence, filled with a mysterious suppression, burst forth, resonating throughout the entire space.
Countless people felt that the aura was as mighty as heaven and earth, unmatched by anyone.
Seeing that man, with his hands behind his back, stepping through the air, and looking down upon the world, everyone's eyes filled with awe, respect, and excitement.
"Military God Ye Nantian has arrived!"
"He is the second on the Martial Arts Peak!"
"It looks like Lin Mo is likely to be defeated here today."
"He deserves it. Not only did he injure Ye Kai, but he also killed Xuanyuan Chen and Chu Beixiong."
"Earlier, he even said that even if Ye Nantian himself came, he would still break Ye Kai's limbs. Now I want to see how he intends to break Ye Kai's limbs."
Instantly, everyone's gaze fell on Lin Mo, believing that with Ye Nantian's arrival, even if Lin Mo was defiant, he couldn't possibly defeat Ye Nantian.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Mo, with one hand casually in his pocket, spoke indifferently, "It was me."
"Who are you?" Ye Nantian stood with his arms behind him, his gaze as if looking down on everything, his voice already carrying some anger.
At that moment, Ma Bo stepped forward, respectfully saying, "Military God, this is Lin Mo, the champion of the Green List Tournament."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Ye Nantian scrutinized Lin Mo deeply, then lightly smiled and said, "Indeed young and brash."
At that moment, Ye Kai, with somewhat resentful eyes, shouted at Ye Nantian, "Dad, this person not only killed Xuanyuan Chen but also murdered Chu Beixiong and even claimed he would break my limbs! You must not let him go!"
"What?"
Ye Nantian's gaze deepened, and his voice turned cold as ice, "I thought you were just young and reckless, but it turns out you've committed such grave mistakes."
Seeing Ye Nantian's fury, everyone thought Lin Mo was in big trouble.
However, Lin Mo, with a slight smile on his lips, spoke indifferently, "So, what do you plan to do?"
Ye Nantian took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Lin Mo, his voice carrying authority, "If it were anyone else, I would certainly teach you the lesson you deserve. However, considering your youth and exceptional talent, I can give you a chance. Now, apologize to Kai'er and admit your guilt to the Xuanyuan family, and I will ensure you are unharmed and even personally mentor you."
Hiss!!
Upon hearing these words, countless envious looks appeared among the audience.
Even Ye Kai, with his pair of eyes filled with jealousy, had never received such favorable treatment as Lin Mo, his father's own son.
Countless envious gazes fell on Lin Mo; they were nearly dying of envy that he, having killed Chu Beixiong and Xuanyuan Chen, could still gain Ye Nantian's protection.
Probably in all of Imperial City, there was no other young individual who could receive such care from Ye Nantian.
At a moment when everyone felt intense envy, Lin Mo, hands nonchalantly in his pockets, lightly smiled:
"You're going to ensure my safety? Personally mentor me? I really don't need it."
What?
In an instant, countless surprised gazes fell on Lin Mo. Under these circumstances, agreeing to Ye Nantian would absolutely have been the best choice.
But Lin Mo not only refused, but his tone was even more arrogant than before.
Everyone thought that Lin Mo was insane, that he was courting death.
"Very well!" Ye Nantian roared three times, then, with a slight sinking of his gaze towards Lin Mo, pointed at Ye Kai and said, "I won't hold you accountable for killing Chu Beixiong and Xuanyuan Chen, however, you injured my Kai'er and I need an apology from you!"
"Apology?" Lin Mo chuckled lightly, his expression indifferent, "You think too much. I just said I would break his limbs. How can I take back my words?"
In that instant, countless shocked gazes turned towards Lin Mo. Even if Lin Mo had killed Chu Beixiong, who was Ye Nantian? An individual at the Martial Arts Peak and Chu Beixiong, ranking third, was nothing compared to him.
"What did you say?"
Ye Nantian's face turned completely dark. He had roamed Hua Country for countless years and had never encountered someone as arrogant as Lin Mo.
His oppression filled the area, as if suppressing the heaven and earth, and everyone felt as though the world was shaking.
Everyone thought that the arrogant Lin Mo was about to meet his fate of judgment.
"What an arrogant fool, to dare speak to the Military God like that. He truly deserves to die!"
At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in black leather who had come with Ye Nantian, who was already furious, spoke.
His name was Qie Feng, a practitioner equally in the Martial Venerate Realm, serving as Ye Nantian's right-hand man for five years.
Sometimes, his presence often represented Ye Nantian.
"If you wish to become a corpse, just go ahead."
Lin Mo's gaze shifted to Qie Feng, utterly calm; to Lin Mo, Qie Feng was merely another Martial Venerate.
"Arrogant fool! Do you really think you are invincible? There are countless hidden experts in this world. Since you are so unwise, then go to death."
Angered, Qie Feng, without waiting for Ye Nantian's permission, charged towards Lin Mo.
In his hand appeared a longsword, bringing with it an air of boundless severity that enveloped the entire space, slashing towards Lin Mo as if it could extinguish everything.
Wherever the sword light went, the space showed a deep crack.
However, what no one expected was that Lin Mo's figure flickered like lightning, and before others could react, he was already in front of Qie Feng.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
In an instant, the sword light that Qie Feng emitted was completely shattered. Not only that, but his longsword was also crumbled into pieces like a toy in Lin Mo's hands.
Seeing this scene, countless people were stunned.
Qie Feng's gaze filled with shock, his entire body's True Qi explosively formed a very solid barrier.
"Break!"
Lin Mo snorted coldly and punched the barrier.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
In an instant, the extremely solid barrier cracked and vanished into nothing.
"What?"
Fear filled Qie Feng's eyes as he crashed against a large tree, spewing a mouthful of murky blood, for the first time feeling that he, as a Martial Venerate, was no more than an ant in front of Lin Mo.
He had just landed and hadn't recovered when he saw Lin Mo's right hand form a claw, reaching out to grasp him. In the next second, he effortlessly lifted Qie Feng's body.
A sudden chill ran through Qie Feng's heart; for the first time, he felt death was so close.
