77: How do you want to die?

The moment the voice fell.

Simon's expression instantly changed.

It wasn't just him.

Wu Ze, who hadn't spoken, also narrowed his eyes slightly.

In everyone's eyes.

They saw an extremely fast afterimage flash across the ring.

Lin Yan instantly vanished from his spot and appeared behind Simon, near the Prodigy team.

“Uh...”

A youth from Japan didn't even have time to react before his feet lifted off the ground, his neck grasped by a hand like an iron vise.

Simon spun around abruptly.

Crack—!

A crisp sound rang out.

Lin Yan twisted the youth's neck, snapping it, and casually tossed the body toward the foreign Prodigy team whose expressions had drastically changed.

“I asked you.”

“How do you want to die?”

Having done all this, he looked at Simon again.

“You...”

Simon couldn't utter a single word.

Any faint smile or composure vanished without a trace in just one second, replaced entirely by shock in his heart.

He was at the first layer of the sixth rank of cultivation, yet he couldn't even catch Lin Yan's move just now!

What kind of strength was this?

Everyone else in the venue was in a similar state.

“What’s going on?”

“Holy crap!”

“So fierce!”

“My eyes just blurred; I didn't see anything clearly.”

Perhaps only Ping Cang and Shelly could track it easily.

But.

“You guys...”

Just as Shelly angrily spoke up.

“Heh heh...”

Lin Yan sneered.

“Very good.”

He darted forward in two steps, instantly arriving in front of Connie, whose expression had drastically changed.

His fist whistled, seemingly tearing the air apart.

Bang—!

A muffled, heavy sound rang out.

Connie's head burst open like a watermelon struck by a heavy hammer, and bright red blood splattered everywhere, landing on Bev's face.

“Ah!”

Witnessing everything, she let out a piercing scream and backed away in terror.

“Lin Yan!!”

Shelly roared in fury, and a powerful ninth-rank pressure suddenly erupted from his body.

The leaders of the accompanying nations also angrily reveal meridians.

Just as Ping Cang and the others were about to intervene.

Bang... bang, bang, bang... Several powerful Auras burst through the venue gates, instantly arriving in front of the leaders of the various nations.

Shi Lanzhi gazed indifferently at Shelly in front of him.

“Your best choice is just to watch.”

“You...!”

Shelly was about to say something.

Bang—!

Another muffled thud sounded from the ring.

Bev's headless corpse fell heavily.

Lin Yan didn't care about the blood splattered on his clothes and face, and he turned back to look at Simon, his eyes filled with cold indifference.

“Speak.”

“How do you want to die?”

Shelly, suppressed by Lanzhi and completely unable to move, roared in anger.

“Lin Yan!”

“Wantonly slaughtering contestants from other countries during an exchange competition!”

“You will definitely...”

Lin Yan completely ignored him and walked straight toward Simon.

Finally.

Just as he was about to reach him.

“Impossible!!”

Simon let out a furious roar, his six meridians materialized, a powerful Aura shot into the sky, and he violently swung his fist forward.

“Fake! It's all fake!!”

Facing this violent force, which was enough to instantly kill a third-layer sixth-rank Martial Artist.

Lin Yan's steps showed no hesitation; he swung his fist directly to meet the collision.

They only heard a crisp sound of bone shattering—"Crack—!", followed immediately by a miserable shriek.

Simon's face instantly turned ghastly pale, his right arm hung limply, and his body was shaken by a massive force, causing him to retreat backward.

At the same time.

Lin Yan took several steps forward, rapidly closing the distance.

Simon couldn't react at all.

Lin Yan suddenly turned sideways and swung his palm, slapping his cheek with astonishing speed.

Counter-Slap: The Big Slap.

Smack—!

A crisp sound.

“Pfft!”

Simon spat out a mouthful of blood, his body crashing heavily onto the ground.

He had just raised his head.

Bang—!

A massive force struck.

His head violently connected with the ground again.

“How do you want to die?”

Lin Yan looked down at the figure under his foot, his voice still full of cold indifference.

“Uh... cough...”

Simon's eyes were dim, and he kept coughing up blood.

“Im... im... possible...”

“Ah!!!”

Shelly roared and suddenly looked at Shi Lanzhi in front of him.

“Your Dragon Country treats people like this in broad daylight...”

He didn't finish his sentence.

Huge commotion came from the main entrances of the venue.

Dense ranks of Dragon Country soldiers appeared, surrounding the entire venue.

General Xu An, dressed in his military uniform, slowly walked to the center of the venue, his expression serious.

“Military operation.”

“All Dragon Country citizens, please leave immediately.”

The Dragon Country audience, who had been watching enthusiastically from the stands, exchanged glances and immediately stood up.

“Okay!”

“No problem!”

While consciously heading toward the evacuation routes, they shouted.

“Huh?”

“How did I end up here?”

“Oh dear?”

“Old Zhang, why are you here too?”

“I'm sleepwalking. It's an old problem of mine for so many years, you know that.”

“Speaking of which, Old Qian, are you sleepwalking too?”

“Yes.”

“Damn it, I dreamed a dog ran into my house. Could I tolerate that? I grabbed a stick and chased after it to beat it.”

“Oh my god!”

“How come you dreamed the same thing as me?”

In the blink of an eye.

The venue, which had been packed with people, suddenly became empty.

“Turn around!”

General Xu An ordered in a deep voice.

“Yes!”

Tens of thousands of Dragon Country soldiers instantly executed the order, turning their backs to the ring.

Shelly, watching this scene, had bloodshot eyes, and his lungs felt like they were about to explode from rage.

“You... you...”

He immediately swiped his wristband.

“You wait!”

“I'm going to report to the Black Palace, I'm going to report to the Speaker!”

General Xu An lightly coughed.

“Mission time: five minutes!”

Shelly's actions paused, and he shrieked hysterically.

“Madness! This is madness!!”

“You are trying to provoke a Blue Star war!”

The scene returns to the ring.

Five minutes?

Lin Yan slowly applied force with his right foot.

“You're such trash, where did you get the audacity to come to my country and cause trouble for me?”

Simon did not answer.

He merely kept repeating the three words “impossible” while coughing up blood violently.

“Did you know?”

Lin Yan raised his hand and pointed at the many figures supporting each other behind Wu Ze.

“Even I am reluctant to bully them too much.”

“Who are you to be so arrogant as to injure them?”

Hmm?

The expressions of The Four Great Ones Prodigies, who were suddenly called out, froze simultaneously.

What did he mean?

They were still immersed in figuring out the true extent of Lin Yan's strength.

Now, suddenly hearing this... it sounded like he was helping them regain face.

But why did it feel like something was slightly off?

A wry smile flashed across Shangguan Wu's pale face.

This kid.

Mu Baiyi tightened her grip on the precious sword in her hand, and numerous complex expressions flashed across her cold, stunningly beautiful face.

Bastard!

What did he mean, “reluctant to bully too much”?

Even now, she still felt a lingering sting in her chest from yesterday's elbow strike.

But.

How did he become so much stronger after coming out of the kings road?

He easily crushed a Prodigy like Simon without even needing to reveal meridians.

Wu Ze, who had been quietly observing everything, quirked his lips.

This strongest Prodigy of Dragon Country, who made him feel a little familiar and close.

Not only were his talent and strength terrifyingly formidable, but he was also quite interesting.

He somewhat understood why the higher-ups would protect Lin Yan, even if it meant exposing him prematurely.
