152: Chapter 152 Killing Fu Jiuya!

Mu Gui's thoughts were actually not much different from Fu Jiuya's.

In the region of the Shun Kingdom, there was no abundant essence qi.

To what level could a Martial Artist's cultivation reach?

In such a remote area, he, a fourth-grade Shenzhen Realm expert, should be number one in the world.

But after fighting Li Yuan, all that confidence vanished.

As a Martial Artist from a remote region, Li Yuan could not only easily handle his various techniques...

...but also counterattack, and his various Martial Skills were not easy to deal with.

After five moves, Mu Gui felt something was wrong.

Li Yuan not only had impressive strength but also understood his methods very well.

The Martial Skill techniques of the Lanyuan Sect and the methods of controlling Battle Souls seemed to be fully mastered by Li Yuan.

"Old Mu, kill him! I want him dead, I want him dead!"

Not far away, Fu Jiuya began to shout, his words full of threats.

Fu Jiuya felt safe again, and his numb body once more felt the sharp pain in his right leg.

Under this intense pain, Fu Jiuya felt even more hatred toward Li Yuan.

Fueled by this hatred, he naturally lashed out with harsh words.

Saying these words did make him feel better.

But Mu Gui already felt something was very wrong; he even felt he had been in danger several times.

The sword in Li Yuan's hand, combined with his eerie movement technique and swordplay...

...made it so that he, a fourth-grade Shenzhen Realm Martial Artist, was completely at a disadvantage.

The sword grew faster and faster.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan's other hand revealed a long saber.

As the sword edge fell, the saber blade quickly followed up.

With one saber and one sword, the power actually far surpassed Mu Gui and his Battle Soul.

Li Yuan's Battle Soul had already been successfully nurtured, but in this fight with Mu Gui, there was no need to summon it for help.

Without the assistance of essence qi in the surroundings, the strength of people like them was greatly affected.

Outside the Martial Academy, dry leaves were constantly shaken down by the clash between the two.

The dry leaves fell one by one, but in mid-air, they were sliced as if by invisible sharp blades; the ground was covered in fragments.

Seeing this, Mu Gui's arrogant gaze also changed.

Initially, he wanted Li Yuan, the one who injured Fu Jiuya, to die.

Now, he was thinking about how to retreat unscathed.

His offensive moves gradually turned defensive.

Seeing Mu Gui's response, Li Yuan simply shifted the direction of his saber and sword.

The blades went straight for Fu Jiuya.

Mu Gui's martial strength was there after all; it wouldn't be easy to kill him quickly.

But Fu Jiuya was different; he was only an Eighth-Grade Martial Artist.

Facing Li Yuan, he didn't even have any defensive means.

As the sword edge pierced forward, the servant who had just been so devoted to his master did not risk his life to protect him now.

"Kill him! Old Mu, kill him!"

Fu Jiuya was still clamoring, but seeing Li Yuan getting closer, his voice began to tremble.

"Old Mu... Old Mu..."

His fear-filled cries did not bring Mu Gui over.

This servant named Mu Gui actually stood further and further away.

"Attacking my Young Lord, you will pay the price! My Lanyuan Sect..."

Mu Gui spoke threatening words.

But this time he only used his mouth; he didn't come over.

Having lived to this age, he had experienced many things.

Mu Gui saw danger—danger that could potentially bury him here.

He was indeed loyal to Fu Jiuya, the Young Lord.

But this loyalty required ensuring his own safety first.

Without essence qi around, Mu Gui truly saw the possibility of dying here.

Weighing the pros and cons, he still felt he should protect himself.

Once he returned, he would let the Lanyuan Sect exert its power for revenge.

Fu Jiuya originally thought he was definitely safe since Old Mu had arrived.

But he hadn't expected that Li Yuan could still take his life...

"I am the Young Lord of the Lanyuan Sect! Let me go, and I can give you treasures..."

Fu Jiuya indeed lacked experience.

He finally began to beg for mercy, but how could such words earn him forgiveness?

Fu Jiuya had burned his bridges from the very beginning.

What he wanted was Li Yuan's greatest secret.

Behind Li Yuan, there was currently no power that could stand against the Lanyuan Sect.

The gap in power between the two sides was too great; any treaties signed or promises made would depend entirely on the will of the stronger party.

Just like now, Li Yuan could let Fu Jiuya go.

But whether those promises would be fulfilled afterward would depend entirely on the Lanyuan Sect's whims.

The possibility of him seeking revenge against Li Yuan again was also extremely high.

In this situation, Fu Jiuya was better off dead than alive.

But if he died, the Lanyuan Sect would come for revenge.

If he didn't die, he would urge the Lanyuan Sect to come for revenge.

Li Yuan did not give Fu Jiuya a chance to finish speaking.

He had wanted to torture Li Yuan and seize his Opportunities.

Just taking his life was already quite lenient.

He didn't torture him either, letting him pass away quickly.

The saber and sword pierced through his internal organs, and Fu Jiuya's eyes gradually lost their focus.

This arrogant Young Sect Master of the Lanyuan Sect died just like that.

Mu Gui watched this scene from a distance, his gaze cold to the extreme.

He didn't linger any longer, simply turning and leaving quickly to return to the Lanyuan Sect.

Li Yuan didn't waste energy chasing him.

Mu Gui's martial strength was not weak; it wouldn't be easy to kill him.

The Lanyuan Sect would soon know of Fu Jiuya's death.

Even without Mu Gui's notification, the Lanyuan Sect would find out.

Just like Ning Feichi, there would surely be some Life Tablets connected to the heart.

Fu Jiuya's status was even more noble; the Sect would definitely monitor him at all times.

If the Life Tablet shattered or other anomalies occurred, the Lanyuan Sect would know immediately.

Whether Mu Gui was kept behind was actually not important.

In Li Yuan's view, things were about to get busy.

Fu Jiuya was the son of the Lanyuan Sect's Sect Master; this Tianqiong Continent Sect would certainly seek revenge.

Aside from revenge, the strength he had displayed would also make him a target.

To the Martial Artists of the Tianqiong Continent, the region of the Shun Kingdom was a backwater.

When Ning Feichi sent word, the people of the Lanyuan Sect probably weren't very convinced at first.

But with Fu Jiuya's death, the death of the five guards he brought, and even Mu Gui being forced to flee...

...the Lanyuan Sect would certainly become even more curious about Li Yuan.

For a young Martial Artist in such a backwater place to have such strength...

...the "method for rapid improvement" that Ning Feichi spoke of might truly exist.

The facts would play out just as Li Yuan expected.

Even if Fu Jiuya hadn't died, the Lanyuan Sect wouldn't have let him go.

Once the storm settled, Li Yuan used the Corpse Looting Technique on Fu Jiuya as well.

This playboy Young Master of the Lanyuan Sect didn't have much ability.

But given his status, he should know some deep secrets or the core Cultivation Techniques of the Lanyuan Sect.

After finishing the immediate tasks, Li Yuan asked Dean Guo to gather the mid-to-high-level members of the Martial Academy.

Before long, the Lanyuan Sect would send people for revenge.

Once they came back fully prepared, the situation would be completely different.

Li Yuan was full of confidence in his future, but confidence was not conceit.

Facing the danger brought by the Lanyuan Sect, he needed time to grow in order to cope.
