127: Chapter 127 I'm not targeting anyone

At the summit of Sacred Martial Mountain, a deathly silence reigned.

Whether it was the observing students and mentors or the lofty saint projections in the sky, all stood frozen in place as if struck by a paralysis spell.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the youth in white who was slowly retracting his fist.

And... the pitifully distorted, human-shaped crater on the distant cliff face.

Ox Breaking Heaven!

The leading figure of the Green Ox Clan's younger generation!

A peerless prodigy who had awakened the bloodline of the 'Earth-Shaking Divine Ox'!

A terrifying existence whose strength was comparable to a Half-Step Martial King!

He actually...

was truly defeated with a single punch?!

And that was after he had activated his innate divine ability and unleashed his full power!

This was no longer simply powerful; it was a complete and utter, dimensional crushing!

Just what kind of monster was that human youth?!

"Ahem..."

Ning Yuan cleared his throat lightly, shattering the suffocating silence.

He shook his slightly numb arm and spread his hands with an 'innocent' look.

"Well... sorry about that, everyone."

"I think I just... used a little too much force?"

"I wanted to play with him a bit longer, but who knew he couldn't take a hit?"

"Sigh, what a letdown."

These words sounded even more grating to everyone's ears than the most vicious mockery!

What did he mean by 'a little too much force'?

What did he mean by 'couldn't take a hit'?

You're clearly trying to humiliate someone to death!

"You little beast! You're asking for death!"

The saint projection from the Green Ox Clan was the first to react!

His eyes crimson, he let out a heaven-shaking roar and was about to charge down recklessly to tear Ning Yuan to pieces!

However.

Before he could even move.

Ning Jianghe's icy gaze had already locked onto him.

"old ox-nose, what do you think you're doing?"

"Can't handle losing?"

"If you dare break the rules, believe me, I'll twist your ox head off right now and use it as a chamber pot!"

Terrifying saintly might erupted instantly, suppressing the Green Ox Clan saint until he couldn't move a muscle!

"Ning Jianghe! You...!"

The Green Ox Clan saint trembled with rage, yet he was utterly helpless.

After all, they were the ones in the wrong.

They were the ones who agreed to this wager, and now that they had lost, they could only swallow their bitterness!

Ning Yuan paid no heed to the scheming and power struggles of the old-timers in the sky.

He slowly turned, casting his gaze toward the group of foreign prodigies who were also in a state of shock and terror.

The corners of his mouth curled up once more into a bright yet dangerous smile.

"Alright, warm-up's over."

"Next."

"Who's up?"

These simple three words fell like an ancient divine mountain, crushing down heavily on the hearts of every foreign prodigy!

The prodigies who had been so arrogant and domineering just moments ago now seemed like ducks with their necks wrung, each one deathly silent, exchanging glances, yet not a single one dared to step forward!

Are you kidding?

Even a monster like Ox Breaking Heaven was taken out with one punch. Wouldn't they just be courting death if they went up?!

They had no desire to become the next 'mural' embedded in the wall!

"What? No one?"

Ning Yuan waited for a while, and seeing that no one still dared to move, the smile on his face grew even more playful.

"Weren't you all just clamoring to kill me a moment ago?"

"Why are you all mute now?"

"Is this what you call 'prodigies'? I think 'cowards' is more like it!"

These words were like daggers to the heart!

They humiliated these proud foreign prodigies to the point where they wished the ground would swallow them!

"I'll take you on!"

Finally, someone could no longer bear this humiliation!

A ninth-rank prodigy from the Star Clan, clad in a starry battle robe and wielding a starry spear, roared and charged out from the crowd!

"Brat! Don't get too cocky!"

"Ox Breaking Heaven was just a brute with great strength! Real combat isn't just about brute force!"

"Let me show you the peerless spear technique of my Star Clan!"

*Hum!*

With a flick of his wrist, the spear in his hand instantly transformed into a sky full of starlight, surging toward Ning Yuan like an inverted galaxy!

Every strand of starlight contained terrifying power capable of piercing divine metal!

"Oh? A spear user?"

Seeing this, Ning Yuan showed not a trace of fear. Instead, his smile widened.

"What a coincidence."

"I know a thing or two as well!"

*Boom!*

With a twist of his wrist, the blood-colored dragon slaughter spear instantly appeared in his hand!

"Heaven Slaying - Annihilation!"

No probing, no testing. He went straight for his strongest killing move!

A crimson spear light shot into the sky, like an awakened furious dragon, carrying the terrifying will to slaughter all living things, and slammed head-on into that sea of starlight!

*BOOM!!!*

A deafening, earth-shattering explosion!

The seemingly dazzling sea of starlight shattered instantly like fragile bubbles before that crimson spear light!

"Pfft!"

The Star Clan prodigy staggered as if struck by lightning, vomiting a mouthful of blood, while the starry spear in his hand shattered into pieces!

His entire body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, his fate unknown!

Another single move!

Another one-hit knockout!

Once again, the entire arena fell into a deathly silence!

If the first time was luck, a sneak attack...

Then what about this time?

A head-on clash!

Still, just one move!

This was no longer simply powerful; this was invincibility!

Unrivaled among peers!

No! Unrivaled below the King level!

"Who's next?"

Ning Yuan stood proudly at the center of the arena, spear in hand, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping over all the foreign prodigies present.

That aura of looking down on the world, that belief of being the only supreme one, made everyone shudder with fear!

This time, no one dared to step forward anymore.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

Are you kidding?

Go up and get killed?

They had no desire to become the next casualty!

"Heh... a bunch of trash!"

Ning Yuan sneered disdainfully, his eyes filled with disappointment.

He had thought he could have a proper fight.

But this was it?

So boring!

He slowly raised the dragon slaughter spear in his hand, pointing it at the group of trembling foreign prodigies.

In a tone that was utterly flat yet brimming with extreme arrogance, he spoke slowly.

"I'm not targeting anyone in particular."

"What I mean is..."

"All of you here..."

"are trash!"

"Come at me together!"

"Save me the trouble of wasting time on you one by one!"

*Boom!*

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire arena erupted once more!

Madness!

This guy had completely lost his mind!

He actually... wanted to take on all the remaining foreign prodigies by himself?!

That was a full dozen or so terrifying existences at the peak of the ninth rank!

Just where did he get such confidence?!

However.

Faced with Ning Yuan's blatant provocation and humiliation.

Those foreign prodigies... not a single one dared to retort!

They merely clenched their fists tightly, their eyes filled with humiliation and resentment!

It wasn't that they didn't want to retort.

It was that... they didn't dare!

Ning Yuan's two previous battles had completely shattered their pride and confidence!

They couldn't even muster the courage to be his enemy anymore!

"Since you won't come..."

"I'll come to you!"

Ning Yuan grinned, and his figure vanished from the spot once again!
