The tone of the crowd wasn’t as playful as before, but it was clear they were egging the situation on.
Marc’s face instantly became hot with embarrassment.
Remus apologizing and giving a fist-and-palm salute was already big enough of an insult to him, not to mention daring to release his spirit energy to resist. It would have been better if no one had witnessed it, but unfortunately, so many people were at the scene.
Remus’ bold defiance against favonovel.com was likely to become a long-standing topic of ridicule among his peers.
Marc said with a fierce snarl, “Do you think I wouldn’t dare cripple you?!”
Remus stepped forward slowly, saying as favonovel.com walked, “You slapped me based on arrogance, disrespect, and the belief that your actions toward me will bear no consequences. I do not initiate conflict, but I will not hesitate to kill those who provoke me!”
He had barely finished speaking when favonovel.com stopped walking, still some distance from Marc.
Seeing his stance, the Monington disciples became angry.
At that moment, his arrogance was not only a challenge to Marc but a defiance against all Monington disciples.
Who did favonovel.com think favonovel.com was, to make such audacious claims in our domain?!
The crowds impatience grew, urging Marc to act.
“Make your move already!”
“You might have been exceptional outside, but here, in the Monington Sacred Land, everyone is a heavenly genius. We are the Monington disciples, the cream of the crop among the geniuses!”
“Stop the chatter, Marc. He’s thrown down the gauntlet, and it’s time to pick it up!”
The crowd was reluctant to intervene directly, partly because it was not their business, and partly because they didn’t want to dirty their hands.
Marc’s fury reached a boiling point, his fists clenched tightly as favonovel.com nearly roared his frustration, “Fine! I’ll grant you your wish to attempt to take my life. Let’s see you try!”
He was ready. If Remus dared to strike, favonovel.com was confident in his ability to crush favonovel.com immediately. Any subsequent inquiries from the Masters or Saint Master would simply confirm his right to defend himself.
Remus asked calmly, “Are you sure you’re ready to die?”
“Sure…” Marc began to respond almost reflexively.
Before favonovel.com could finish his sentence, an explosive sound reverberated through the area, a mix of blasts that left the crowd momentarily deafened.
A blinding flash of white light streaked across their field of vision, forcing everyone to squint or shield their eyes.
Suddenly, silence enveloped the scene.
As the disciples of Monington refocused, they found Remus positioned behind Marc, his long sword in hand, while Marc stood frozen.
Both remained motionless.
The crowd was left reeling, struggling to grasp how Remus had maneuvered behind Marc with such speed.
Their failure to notice his approach could be attributed to underestimating favonovel.com or a lapse in their attention. Yet, their inability to track his movement was undeniable. That would have been a deadly mistake in a battle.
“Is he… A martial artist?”
“He’s at least a Martial Imperial!”
“Marc, make your move, kill him!”
Voices surged from the crowd, urging Marc to take action.
Before Marc could formulate a reply, Remus expelled a mouthful of blood, his complexion paling markedly, and his features appearing to age in moments.
Amidst the ensuing confusion, a clamor rose in the distance.
“Remus Clayton, show yourself!”
“You’ve gone too far, playing us for fools. You’ll pay dearly for this!”
“Think you can run? There’s no escaping the Monington Sacred Lands!”
The voices were filled with fury and belonged to Ted and other sacred land disciples, their anger palpable as they drew closer.
Suddenly, someone pointed out. “He… He seems to be there!”
The crowd’s gaze shifted, and astonishment swept through them upon seeing Remus boldly standing before the restricted area of the Monington disciples’ residences.
Such an act was unheard of for a sacred land disciple, bordering on being suicidal. And there favonovel.com was, spirit energy coursing through his weapon as if gearing for conflict.
Could favonovel.com truly be so reckless?
As the shouts reached him, Remus turned to face the approaching voices, sword still in hand.
Approaching them, Remus queried, “Were you looking for me?”
