"Hum!"

    At this critical juncture, Xu Nian sprang into action.

    Beneath his robe sleeves surged Thunder Fire Power.

    With a punch, he struck preemptively, landing the blow on Liu Mushan''s arm before the latter could react.

    "Crack!"

    Liu Mushan''s arm broke instantly, and he staggered several steps backward, uttering a sound of extreme agony.

    But it wasn''t over yet. Xu Nian followed swiftly with a kick to Liu Mushan''s chest, sending him flying.

    "Boom!"

    Liu Mushan hit the wall behind him, producing a dull thud.

    Blood spurted from his mouth while the wall behind him cracked.

    The crowd around them stood agape, dumbfounded. Had the Three-star Body Sect''s Liu Mushan been defeated just like that?

    Zhao Yanyun''s pretty face was also full of surprise. Although she had heard that Xu Nian''s combat strength far exceeded his apparent cultivation level, she had never seen it with her own eyes.

    Now seeing Xu Nian defeat Liu Mushan in a flash, she was still very shocked.

    At this moment, Xu Nian stood proudly with his fighting prowess dominating. Looking at the injured Liu Mushan, his gaze held an icy chill.

    Actually, the moment Liu Mushan mobilized his Gang Qi, Xu Nian''s Spiritual Sense had already detected it. So what seemed like a sudden attack to others appeared extremely slow to him.

    "How... how can you be so strong?" Liu Mushan''s face filled with astonishment, unable to believe that someone who had just entered the Battle Mansion could defeat him, especially since Xu Nian was clearly in the Nine-star Star Realm.

    "Hmph, I''ve said you''re a waste, but that doesn''t mean everyone else is. I didn''t want to trouble myself with you, but you''ve provoked me time and time again, even attempting to take my life just now. Today, I won''t leave you be," Xu Nian said coldly before advancing towards Liu Mushan.

    Zhao Yanyun frowned slightly but did not interfere. After all, it was Liu Mushan who struck first.

    According to the Battle Mansion''s rules, if a member initiates a provocation against another, the provoked member is justified in killing the aggressor for revenge.

    Yes, this is the Battle Mansion, where right makes might.

    The wholesale prevention of fratricide is impossible. Hence, if there is legitimate reason amongst members'' grievances, then murder is sanctioned.

    Now, Xu Nian had sufficient reason, so even she, Zhao Yanyun, had no right to stop him.

    Seeing Xu Nian approaching, Liu Mushan panicked and yelled towards another direction, "Mr. Yu, save me!"

    "Haha, Xu Nian, you can''t kill me. The captain of the Mo Lang Team is a Nine-star Martial Sect. If you kill me, just wait for death," Liu Mushan laughed heartily as he said, looking at Xu Nian with eyes filled with mockery.

    Killing intent surged in Xu Nian''s eyes, Liu Mushan must die today.

    "Xu Nian, let it go. You''re wounded, it''s not suitable for you to fight," Zhao Yanyun hinted at Xu Nian with her eyes, obviously reminding him to not easily offend the Mo Lang Team.

    But Xu Nian laughed with great pride, "Today Liu Mushan must die. I want to kill him, no one can stop me!"

    "You''re seeking death!" The young man became furious; he hadn''t expected Xu Nian, knowing he was a member of the Mo Lang Team, to defy his command unabatedly.

    Xu Nian just snorted coldly and once again leaped out.

    "Delusional!" The young man snorted coldly as a strong surge of Spiritual Energy erupted from his body, a roar like that of a dragon resounded from within him.

    As the Spiritual Energy surged, carrying a terrifying momentum, it fiercely slapped towards Xu Nian.

    However, a hint of a sneer flashed across Xu Nian''s eyes, and he activated the Gravity Ring in an instant.

    "Buzz!"

    The gravity around them instantly tripled, causing the young man''s movements to abruptly slow down.

    Meanwhile, Xu Nian used this gap to instantly pass by the young man and appear directly in front of Liu Mushan.

    The young man was shocked; he hadn''t expected Xu Nian to move so quickly, but when he tried to intercept him, he found that his body had become incredibly slow, and even the circulation speed of his Spiritual Energy had significantly decreased.

    In fact, it wasn''t that Xu Nian''s movements had become swifter; it was their own movements that had slowed down.

    Xu Nian was used to carrying the Tie Chui, and a sudden threefold increase in gravity didn''t affect him much.

    The young man, however, was not used to it, being a Spirit Cultivator with less physical strength, he naturally couldn''t keep up with Xu Nian''s pace.

    Liu Mushan, seeing Xu Nian appear before him, was startled as well.

    But before he could react, Xu Nian''s fist slammed into the position of Liu Mushan''s heart.

    "Boom!"

    A thunderous explosion sounded from Liu Mushan''s body, and he went flying backward, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, unable to get up again.

    The Collapse Thunder Hammer Technique was executed with a fist, and though the power of the punch was only thirty percent of its full capacity, it was enough to shatter Liu Mushan''s heart.

    The people in the great hall were dumbstruck; everything had happened in the blink of an eye.

    Liu Mushan thus met his complete demise!
