322: Section 322

Behind him, the long spear, sensing something, hummed and merged into the body of the Azure Dragon.

And as it merged with the long spear, the originally somewhat stiff Azure Dragon seemed to come alive, continuously tumbling and roaring in the air, full of intelligence.

"Azure Flame Heavenly Dragon Stab, go…"

Seeing that Su Mu below had not yet begun to prepare, Xiao Yu gave him no time. His raised finger elegantly dropped again, pointing towards Su Mu at the center of the Tianjiao Arena.

"Roar!!!"

In an instant, the Azure Dragon behind him roared to the sky, its Dragon roar echoing!

The moment Xiao Yu’s finger pointed, it charged straight towards Su Mu!

Amidst the fluttering Dragon shadows, a greenish-blue long spear within the Azure Dragon’s body stabbed straight down like a comet or meteor!

"The Su Family is nothing more than this."

In the Void Realm, on the greenish-blue flame lotus, Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, playing with a wisp of firelight in his palm, and murmured with disdain.

Little did he know, from the very moment he took to the air, all the Laws he operated, the Dao patterns he condensed, and everything that began, the essence of the Dao, had completely unfolded in Su Mu's eyes.

And like a slow-motion replay, the formation of all its essence was clearly displayed.

"The Five-Crown King is still as terrifying and peerless as ever, but it’s a pity for this Su Mu; he probably won't be able to advance any further."

Above the high platform, the Old Daoist Master of Tianji Pavilion frowned. In his opinion, this fight no longer needed to continue; the winner had already been decided.

"Yes, although this Su Mu seems insignificant compared to Su Hao and others, placed outside, he is still a Prodigy renowned throughout a province."

"It’s just a pity that, encountering the Five-Crown King, he hasn't even reacted yet."

The Grand Sect Ancestor of the Pure Heaven Sect shook his head, feigning regret, then looked at Su Zhou at the head of the platform and asked:

"May I ask, Su Clan Leader, what is this Disciple’s status in the Su Family?"

Listening to the words of the Pure Heaven Sect Master, although the several Immortal Masters showed confusion, their hearts were all filled with schadenfreude.

It seems your Su Family is not an insurmountable giant after all; this is normal.

However, upon hearing the Immortal Master’s questioning and mocking words, Su Zhou merely replied without raising his head:

"The person the Old Sect Master considers insignificant is my son."

As Su Zhou's gentle voice fell, the several Immortal Masters present immediately froze in place.

Especially the Old Sect Master of the Pure Heaven Sect, he felt as if he had been targeted by some primeval beast.

If he uttered another misplaced word, even with his strength as a dignified Immortal Master, he would be utterly annihilated!

The Su Family cannot be insulted!

Amidst the chilling sensation throughout his body, this Immortal Master’s mind suddenly recalled a widely circulated saying.

Recalling the terrifying existence that had previously appeared beside Su Zhou, crushing the sun, moon, and stars into tea leaves,

This Immortal Master of the Pure Heaven Sect felt as terrible as if he had eaten excrement. He had never heard that the Sword Emperor had such an offspring!

Filled with regret, he immediately disregarded everything else and quickly apologized:

"I did not know he was the son of the Su Clan Leader. I had no intention of offending; I hope the Su Clan Leader will forgive me."

Seeing this, the other Immortal Master-level figures also followed suit, apologizing:

"Please forgive us, Su Clan Leader; we truly had no intention."

Although they did not explicitly state it like the Immortal Master of the Pure Heaven Sect, as figures of that level, how could they not understand the subtle machinations in their hearts?

Connecting this to the Su Family Clan Leader’s protectiveness, the several Immortal Masters felt a prickling sensation on their scalps.

Previously, merely because someone from the restricted area had taken action and targeted an item belonging to one of his Disciples, he had, without a word, charged into the restricted area and annihilated it.

What's more, this time it was his own son. If he wasn't careful, it could lead to a great disaster!

Thinking of this, the leading Immortal Master of the Pure Heaven Sect broke out in a cold sweat.

All the pressure felt like an invisible large hand pressing heavily on him, pervasive!

Finally, unable to bear such immense pressure, he fell to his knees with a thud, pleading:

"The Pure Heaven Sect is willing to offer all due compensation to the Su Family. I hope the Su Clan Leader will consider my unintentional actions and not implicate my Family."

After speaking, he bowed his head, awaiting Su Zhou's judgment.

"Hiss!"

Behind him, other Immortal Masters trembled in shock!

An Immortal Master kneeling! How much pressure had the Old Daoist Master of the Pure Heaven Sect endured? Is the Su Family truly so terrifying that even an Immortal Master must bow down?

One must know, this was no ordinary person. The Old Daoist Master of the Pure Heaven Sect had achieved the Dao many years ago, his Pure Heaven Law having reached Major Achievement and being unfathomable. Even among those of the same rank, he was a prominent existence.

Yet, such a supreme Immortal Master actually knelt before Su Zhou in broad daylight to apologize.

Merely because he had unintentionally insulted the Su Family Clan Leader's own son.

Facing the Old Daoist Master who had sacrificed so much face to apologize, Su Zhou finally turned his head and glanced at everyone.

And in the instant their eyes met with Su Zhou's, the several Immortal Masters felt as if their Divine Sense and even their Souls were pressed against a peerless sword edge, their Immortal Master bodies tingling immensely.

"The Su Family truly has everyone like a Dragon. We truly had no intention; we hope the Su Clan Leader will forgive us."

"All due compensation from our Clan, we are willing to offer."

At this moment, the other Immortal Masters, finally understanding the immense pressure the Pure Heaven Immortal Master faced, gritted their teeth and also knelt down to apologize.

Despite their significant reaction, Su Zhou merely cast a faint glance and then withdrew his gaze.

To their surprise, this decisive and protective Clan Chief, uncharacteristically, did not go on a killing spree. Instead, he said calmly:

"Since all Clan Chiefs are willing to pay respects to my Su Family, then I shall thank you in advance."

Hearing this, the several Immortal Masters finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away cold sweat, and slowly rose.

"Also, if you don't look now, those two little fellows below are about to determine the victor."

Su Zhou was as graceful as jade, his fair hand holding a teacup, taking a gentle sip, exuding elegance and charm.

The several Immortal Masters beside him felt a bit slapped in the face upon hearing this.

Damn it, what else is there to look at!

How could the son of the current Sword Emperor be as weak as they had perceived him to be?

As for everything that had transpired earlier, there was only one plausible explanation.

That was, he was playing the pig to eat the tiger, treating life as a game.

No wonder he remained unhurried and composed even when facing the Five-Crown King's full-force attack. It wasn't that he was scared, nor was it that he reacted slowly. It was because he simply didn't take him seriously.

Such a Prodigy, once he got serious, they couldn't even imagine what kind of earth-shattering event it would be!

...

However, all of this was known by almost no one except for the several Immortal Masters.

As the battle on the arena where Su Mu and the Five-Crown King were located reached a critical moment, even the Prodigies in other arena worlds turned their attention to it.

In an arena world to the north, Su Hao, like a Heavenly God descending, carried an invincible might, tearing apart the Prodigy he was fighting bare-handed, emerging bathed in blood.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and turned his head in surprise, looking towards the world where Su Mu and Xiao Yu were located, his eyes showing the destruction of star rivers and the rebirth of great suns!

A comical Big Yellow Dog sat on a Prodigy, crossing its legs, also observing.

And on its leg was a pair of torn underwear, pulled from who knows where, the tears at the leg opening clearly indicating manual cutting.

In the arena world to the northeast, a geomancer in a long robe dropped a Talisman, directly suppressing the entire world.

...

Meanwhile, to the south, in the arena world where Xiao Yu and Su Mu were located.

The Azure Flame Heavenly Dragon Stab, which should have already struck, seemed to be lost in space, never landing on Su Mu.

No matter how the Azure Dragon spear roared and flew, there was always an insurmountable distance between it and Su Mu.

"This is... the Great Divine Ability of the ancient era, So close yet so far away (A Thousand Miles in a Single Step)!"

Among the onlookers, an ancient and frighteningly old powerful being recognized the Law Su Mu was using at first glance, immediately exclaiming and causing a commotion.

"Is this what you rely on? Only hiding like a mouse."

Above, Xiao Yu slowly rose. As his finger descended, the originally massive Azure Dragon phantom immediately let out an angry roar.

Immediately following, two terrifying wings were actually forcibly grown from the sides of the originally steel-like Azure Dragon body.

With a flap of its Dragon wings, it instantly charged towards Su Mu at extreme speed.

However, upon seeing this scene, Su Mu was not flustered. Instead, his eyes lit up as if he had finally gained a little interest, and then he clenched his hand in the air.

"Interesting, but... I've learned it..."

In an instant, Laws intertwined, Dao patterns shone, all materializing into a golden long spear that appeared in Su Mu's hand. Then, with a slight force, he threw it towards the menacing Azure Flame Yinglong and Xiao Yu behind the Dragon shadow.

"Buzz!"

The pure golden long spear flashed across the sky, carrying bursts of golden lightning;
