98: Chapter 98 Rules? My knife is the rule!

Lin Yuan slowly raised his head. The anger he had been suppressing finally found a vent at this moment.

"10 Origin Stones?"

Lin Yuan's voice was very calm, as calm as the sea before a storm.

He took a step forward, his body almost pressing against the cold, gleaming trident.

Looking into the Naga Captain's eyes, he asked word by word:

"What if… I don't pay?"

Hum—!

Behind Lin Yuan, the demonic blade known as slaying abyss seemed to sense its master's killing intent.

From within the scabbard, a long-awaited dragon roar rang out.

Not only the guards, but even the alien caravans queuing nearby and passing wanderers stopped in their tracks, gathering around with a spectator's mindset.

"Look, another clueless newcomer is about to be skinned."

A one-eyed giant carrying a mace said, "The last batch of Earthlings were just as stubborn, and what happened? The men were chopped up to feed the dogs, the women were sold into slavery on the black market, and the grass on their graves is probably two meters high by now."

"Tsk tsk, humans are such fragile creatures, their bodies as brittle as paper, yet their tempers are quite large. What a pity; in this place, dignity is the privilege of the strong."

Countless gazes landed on the Earth squad like needles—mockery, pity, and the excitement of waiting for a bloody feast.

"This is too much!"

A roar broke this one-sided humiliation.

Clang—!

Ancient Sword Soul could no longer endure it. As the Young Master of the Divine Sword Villa, as a sword cultivator who would rather break than bend, this humiliation targeting his race and women was worse than death for him.

"You want people? Ask the sword in my hand first!"

Striking in anger meant using his full strength!

The s-grade ancient sword on Ancient Sword Soul's back instantly unsheathed, transforming into a stream of light like a startled swan.

On the blade, seven star runes lit up simultaneously. The Taibai sword intent erupted to its limit, striking directly at the Naga Captain's throat!

Although this sword strike was not as domineering as Lin Yuan's blade, it was enough to cut through the heavy tank armor on Earth!

"A bit interesting."

Facing this sword strike capable of killing a Fourth Grade Peak, the Naga Captain only lazily lifted his eyelids.

"But in the face of true power… it's too weak."

Slap!

The Naga Captain waved one arm casually.

That ancient sword, wrapped in lethal sword intent, was actually swatted aside by his palm, which was covered in cyan scales!

The collision between the s-grade alloy and the scales only sparked a string of embers!

Immediately after, a thick snake tail swept out like a steel whip.

"What?!"

Ancient Sword Soul wanted to bring his sword back to block, but it was too late.

Bang!

With an explosive sound, Ancient Sword Soul was struck hard in the chest by the giant snake tail, like a fly being swatted.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed into the air.

Ancient Sword Soul clutched his chest, unable to even hold his sword steady, his face pale as paper.

"Fifth Grade…"

Ancient Sword Soul wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the anger in his eyes turning into deep despair:

"Early Fifth Grade! And an alien Fifth Grade with physical attributes far exceeding humans!"

On Earth, a Fourth Grade Peak might be able to challenge a Fifth Grade, but on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, this innate gap in physical attributes makes such cross-grade challenges extremely difficult.

"Is that it?"

The Naga Captain retracted his tail and disdainfully blew the dust off his nails. "I thought you were something special, but it turns out you're just for show."

"Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit… then don't blame me for being impolite! Kill all the men! Capture the women!"

"Yes!"

The dozen or so Naga guards around them surrounded them with sinister smiles, the scimitars in their hands gleaming under the purple moon.

Ji Hongyi, Dragon Battle, and the others stood back-to-back, their eyes full of determination—the worst that could happen was death!

Just then, a hand rested on the shoulder of Ancient Sword Soul, who was struggling to get up.

"Step back."

Lin Yuan pulled Ancient Sword Soul behind him, then walked alone toward the murderous Naga guards.

"Captain…" Ancient Sword Soul said anxiously, "That captain is a Fifth Grade…"

"I know."

Lin Yuan didn't even look back, just waved his hand. "Because they don't understand human language."

"Since they don't understand… then I must use a language they do understand."

Stomp.

Lin Yuan took a step forward. Just one step. Boom!

A terrifying, indescribable pressure erupted from that thin body without warning!

It was not true energy, nor was it spiritual power. It was an absolute suppression originating from the level of life! It was the imperial majesty inherent to the true dragon marrow when facing reptilian creatures!

The originally noisy city gate seemed to become as heavy as lead and iron in an instant.

Those Naga guards, who were originally grinning, suddenly felt their scales trembling all over, and the snake blood flowing within them wailed in fear!

"Hmm?!"

The grin on the Naga Captain's face froze. His cold, vertical pupils stared fixedly at Lin Yuan. An instinctive fear from the depths of his soul made his thick, muscular snake tail tremble uncontrollably.

This feeling… was like a venomous snake on the ground encountering a true dragon patrolling the nine heavens!

"You!"

The Naga Captain's palms, gripping the trident, began to sweat, and his voice actually carried a hint of trembling and fear: "Who… who exactly are you?!"

He had never felt such terrifying bloodline pressure from a low-level race like humans!

Facing the Naga Captain's questioning, Lin Yuan stood less than three meters away from him and slowly raised his head.

"Who am I?"

Lin Yuan chuckled. "I am your ancestor."

The moment the words fell. Hum—!

Lin Yuan grasped the hilt behind his back with a backhand grip. The demonic blade known as slaying abyss emitted a joyous cry, thirsty for blood, and automatically sprang from its sheath, landing steadily in his palm.

【Exclusive Trait · Gravity Field (10x) · Full Power!!!】

Rumble—!

With Lin Yuan as the center, the space within a hundred-meter radius suddenly collapsed!

A terrifying gravitational field equivalent to one hundred times Earth's gravity slammed into the ground like the sky falling and the earth collapsing!

"Thump!"

"Ahhh!"

There was no time to react.

Those weak alien spectators who were originally surrounding them, those Naga guards who hadn't had time to attack, and even those giant beasts pulling carts in the distance… in the face of this terrifying gravity, they were instantly pressed flat onto the ground!

Some of the weaker aliens were even pressed so hard they spat out visceral fragments and fainted on the spot.

Amidst this field of wailing "kneeling," only Lin Yuan remained, holding his war blade, standing proudly.

"Didn't you like making people kneel?"

The tip of Lin Yuan's slaying abyss trailed on the ground, creating a string of sparks on the hard rock as he approached step by step.

"Is this posture… to your satisfaction?"
