186: The arrogant Lu Wu

"Ji Mo, you came here today for Song Jianyi. If you kneel before me now and become my dog, I can give you a chance to duel him fairly, and I guarantee that no one will dare to trouble you afterward."

"This is a rare opportunity. My father is a supreme powerhouse among the Imperial Rank. Being my dog is an opportunity that countless Advanced Saint Rank experts desire."

Lu Wu stared at Ji Mo with a playful look in his eyes.

Ji Mo slightly raised his head, tilted his chin, and replied with two words: "Idiot!"

When it came to arrogance, his current demeanor surpassed Lu Wu's; he never once put anyone present in his eyes.

Killing someone in front of the Emperor, openly mocking the Emperor, and completely disregarding Lu Wu, the Imperial Son.

This demeanor was due to two things: first, his cultivation base was becoming deeper, and the Hegemonic Heaven Refining Art was having a profound effect on him. If he found the subsequent Cultivation Technique for Hegemon Fist, he would likely become even more arrogant, domineering, and self-centered.

The second reason was his confidence: regarding the fate of the older generations of these people, he had his Big Brother to back him up.

This allowed Ji Mo to remain completely calm and composed, regardless of the situation or the enemy's profound background.

However, everyone present, including the Emperor and Sun Emperor, was stunned speechless.

What kind of status did Lu Wu possess? Given the demeanor and prestige he displayed, apart from the Sun Emperor, if he were to curse anyone present—even the Emperor—they would likely have to endure it.

Hadn't they seen how low the Peerless Sect had lowered themselves just to curry favor with Lu Wu? They had planned everything and paved the way before he even arrived.

But what was the situation now? Ji Mo had directly insulted the most high-profile person among them, and the insult was extremely vulgar.

A single thought surfaced in the minds of everyone present: "Indeed, only a name can be wrong, but a nickname is never misplaced!"

The title of the first madman in the Lower Four Domains of the Endless Sea Region was truly deserved.

Arrogant! Very arrogant! Fucking too arrogant!

At this moment, the Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, who had been the first to invest in Ji Mo, was delighted, because only he knew how terrifying Ji Mo's backing truly was.

Although he didn't know exactly how powerful that sword strike had been that day,

he knew clearly that even among the Imperial Rank, it belonged to the absolute peak, because it was a height their Imperial Ancestor had never reached.

He had come to today's event prepared for humiliation, as everything the Peerless Sect had done was known to all.

Now, seeing Ji Mo's actions, he knew everything was settled.

"Impudence!"

"How dare you!"

Two angry shouts rang out simultaneously, coming from the two Old Servants behind Lu Wu.

The two men's withered old faces were now flushed with Qi and blood, their expressions crimson, shaking with rage.

This was the first time—the absolute first time—that someone had openly insulted their Young Lord; it was an unforgivable sin.

The terrifying might of the Saint Rank Third Heaven was released without reservation, and the overwhelming pressure transformed into terrifying Saber Qi, enveloping Ji Mo's location.

"You lowly ant, you despicable person, how dare you insult our Young Lord! You must die, and everyone related to you must die, all of them must die."

"No one can possibly save you. Despair! Repent!"

"Pfft..."

The sound of space being sliced by Saber Qi constantly echoed. The area where Ji Mo stood was covered by Saber Qi, and space continuously twisted and shattered.

Although this Saber Qi was exceptionally terrifying, it was still not enough to faze the Breakthrough Ji Mo.

A terrifying great bell floated above Ji Mo's head, enveloping him in heavy black light.

"Clang!..."

Crisp ringing sounds continuously emanated. The Saber Qi repeatedly struck the heaven and earth creation bell, yet failed to cause any damage, merely shattering itself.

With confidence in his heart, Ji Mo calmly walked out of the area. This demeanor further highlighted his extraordinary nature.

Indeed, if he couldn't easily handle this kind of attack, then his appearance today would have been too foolish.

"You two old dogs, it's not your turn yet, don't rush to your deaths."

Turning his head, ignoring them, Ji Mo locked his gaze back onto Song Jianyi and said:

"Song Jianyi, I waited for you for three years. When I first entered and left the Peerless Sect, I was targeted by your lackeys who tried to surround and kill me, but I ended up killing them instead."

"Do you dare to come out now and fight me one-on-one? Or do you only dare to hide behind the Elders of the Peerless Sect, waiting to be protected?"

Facing Ji Mo's provocation, everyone from the Peerless Sect had gloomy expressions. Everything had been going smoothly until this guy showed up to stir up trouble.

His current demeanor was so unrestrained and arrogant that it made the face of former Sect Master Chu Feng even uglier. He deeply regretted not killing this brat the moment he entered the Sect.

"Ji Mo, what kind of trash are you to dare challenge me? If I could kill your parents, I can kill you too."

At this moment, Song Jianyi was unaware of Ji Mo's reputation. Furthermore, he had just emerged from seclusion and hadn't enjoyed his glory for long before being thoroughly humiliated by Lu Wu.

Now, he had the son of his enemy jumping out of nowhere and repeatedly mocking him. Who could tolerate that?

Originally, today was supposed to be his day of fame, with heroes from all over the world gathering—a scene that could be called the grandest in history.

Instead, he was subjected to insult after insult. He couldn't bear it anymore and erupted. Anger clouded his mind, making him forget that Ji Mo had killed a Second Heaven of the Saint Rank expert with a wave of his hand.

"Come! Today I will kill you and reunite your whole family."

After speaking, Song Jianyi's figure appeared in the Nine Heavens.

Since this was a Saint Rank battle, and this was his Sect, he figured fighting high in the sky would minimize damage to the Sect.

Ji Mo naturally didn't care. His body flickered, and he too arrived in the Nine Heavens.

"Song Jianyi, actually, I kind of thank you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come here."

"Therefore, I'll give you a chance to strike first. Otherwise, if I strike first, you won't get a chance."

These words left everyone confused. He wanted to kill his enemy, yet he was thanking his father's killer.

Song Jianyi grew even angrier, feeling that the opponent was simply humiliating him.

"Kill!"

Song Jianyi fully activated the Peerless Art, the Legacy Cultivation Technique of the Peerless Sect. This Cultivation Technique was also a Mind-Cultivation Technique and possessed offensive skills.

It could be said to have endless wondrous uses, but constrained by the cultivation base and vision of its creator, it could only reach the Perfection stage of the Earth Rank.

"Sword of Heaven and Earth!"

Under Song Jianyi's full activation of the Sword Soul, a Space-Time Storm was born. The scene was vast, and the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was constantly converging
