C451 What's There to be Afraid of
"Humph! It was just a trick. Mu Yan, do you really think you are the living king of hell? If it's really as powerful as you said. . . Fine, my life. . . You should try it! I'd like to see if you can really control our lives!"
Hearing his arrogant words, Stabilizing Peking University General Shea Ao took a heavy step forward and said fearlessly.
Mu Yan only smiled at this.
Shea Ao said angrily, "What are you laughing at!? Didn't you boast that you can control our lives and deaths? Then you are. . . "
He hadn't finished speaking when his figure actually vanished on the spot, and only a voice remained that dissipated along with the wind. A gust of cold wind blew past, and everyone looked at the place that had become empty while they couldn't help but shudder.
"I. . . Saw a ghost!!"
Among the remaining dozens of experts in the inner court, a few of them who were weaker in their hearts saw this strange thing one after another. They were so shocked that their faces turned pale. At this moment, they were fighting to escape from this place. However, something even more terrifying happened at this moment. Those people didn't even let out a cry before they disappeared in an instant. The entire scene instantly became terrifyingly silent.
Strange things happened one after another, especially when it was still the time when the moon was high and the wind was strong. With a gust of cold wind blowing, even those who didn't believe in ghosts and gods couldn't help but feel afraid. Immediately, a deep chill ran up their spines, and they realized that their backs were soaked in cold sweat.
"Is there really. . . Really a ghost in this world?"
Affected by the atmosphere at this moment, among the dozens of experts, Some of their beliefs had already started to waver.
"Ridiculous! The so-called ghosts and deities are not people's imaginations, how can they be easily believed!"
Seeing that his side had become panic-stricken after witnessing such a strange thing, the Great General of the Eastern Region, Xiao Zhan, suddenly let out a thunderous roar and dispersed the clarity of his mind. He said with a stern and righteous voice, "Even if there are ghosts and gods that exist in this world, we will never go against our conscience. Secondly, we did not violate the laws of the country. We relied on our hearts. We raised a mouthful of righteousness. When we looked down, He has a clear conscience, so what's there to be afraid of! "
"Well said!" Green Dragon, who was the leader of four Shadow Guards, praised when he heard that. He and Xiao Zhan shared a common enemy and said: "If you are honest and upright, what's the big deal about ghosts and gods? As the saying goes, people are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are afraid of humans. If you have not done anything wrong, why should you be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door?"
It had to be said that their words of justice were extremely encouraging. Everyone's restless hearts immediately calmed down.
"Oh? It depends on a heart of righteousness, and it focuses on a mouthful of righteousness. Tsk tsk, as expected of the words spoken by the Great General stationed in the East. Truly extraordinary. " Mu Yan clapped his hands with a smile and looked at the crowd mockingly. "But it's a pity. I am neither a ghost nor a god. I am just a mortal, but I am a mortal who can take your lives. "
"Mu Yan, don't try to act mysterious here. Although I don't know what tricks you have used, if you want us to submit to you just like this, dream on!" The Azure Dragon had always been at odds with Mu Yan, so it naturally couldn't bear to see its arrogance. It coldly harrumphed and glared at the Azure Dragon.
"How dare you! I am talking to Great General Xiao, so how can a little servant like you interrupt me?!" Mu Yan scolded lightly, sneered and said, "Azure Dragon, you have really recovered from your scar and forgot about the pain. It seems that my slap did not teach you what rules are!"
"I dare not. Compared to the two slaps Martial Prince received just now, the pain of the Green Dragon is nothing. "
Hearing this, the Azure Dragon replied indifferently. Everyone's expression instantly became extremely interesting, as if they were recalling the shocking scene just now. Opposite of them, Mu Yan's expression immediately darkened. He faintly asked, "Azure Dragon, do you want to die? Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish. Go on your way! "
Before Mu Yan's voice faded, the Azure Dragon's figure had vanished just like the others. Upon seeing this scene, the hearts of everyone who had just relaxed tensed up once again. The scene was deathly silent.
"Big brother!"
The Vermillion Bird and the white tiger, who were also part of the Four Spirit Guards, saw the green dragon disappear in a strange manner. They immediately went forward to fight Mu Yan, but were stopped by Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan scolded, "Don't be rash! Impulse can't solve anything. . . "
However, before he could finish his words, the Vermillion Bird and White Tiger suddenly disappeared without a trace. When he felt that his palm was empty in an instant, Xiao Zhan was completely stunned. Immediately, a deep dispirited feeling surged up.
No matter how many years he had led his troops, he had also encountered countless dangers. However, he had never felt so powerless like today. He didn't even know what kind of technique his opponent was using. Could it be that what Mu Yan said was true? The lives of all of them were already in his hands. Xiao Zhan immediately shook his head. He instinctively wanted to contradict this statement, but he had no choice but to believe everything that had happened in front of him.
"Who else doesn't listen to my teachings now?"
Mu Yan looked at the crowd with a playful look. Wherever his gaze went, even Xiao Zhan had no choice but to let out a soft sigh and retreat.
"Haha!"
This scene had obviously satisfied Mu Yan's vanity. After laughing, he fixed his eyes on Xiao Zhan once again. His eyes were so sharp that no one dared to look at him directly. "General Xiao, I will ask you one last time. Do you want to follow me?"
"I. . . "
Xiao Zhan would naturally rather die than submit to him. However, rejecting it now would only increase the number of casualties. Moreover, it would still take some time for the army to arrive. Hence, he could naturally delay it for a while. When he thought of this, he immediately knelt on one knee and shouted, "Martial Prince!"
Mu Yan immediately nodded his head. Clearly, he was very satisfied with his performance. The others on Mu Han's side did not think so, especially the remaining dozens of experts from the inner circle. They were loyal to Mu Han. Xiao Zhan was the famous General of the Eastern Prefecture of Yaen Kingdom, but he had no backbone. They immediately became angry and scolded him harshly, "General Xiao! We are all ministers. We will not hesitate to sacrifice our lives for the people we are loyal to, even if it means risking our lives. Yet you are willing to bow to the enemy for the sake of your own life. What face do you have to live in this world!? "
"Noisy!" Mu Yan let out a cold snort. Before he could do anything, the remaining dozens of inner circle experts disappeared in an instant. The whole place became empty. Only Guxing and Chen Che were left guarding the unconscious Mu Han from both sides. They looked at Xiao Zhan, Mu Yan, and the others with fear in their eyes.
After all, they were not familiar with Xiao Zhan, so they could not tell whether he was pretending to surrender or really submitting to them. They were equally shocked by Mu Yan's strange means, but no matter what, they did not want anything to happen to Mu Han. Therefore, they grabbed Mu Han's left and right arms tightly, hoping that they would live and die together with him.
Mu Yan looked at them indifferently, his eyes showing slight disdain. It seemed that he did not care about them at all. He turned his head and smiled at Xiao Zhan meaningfully. "Great General Xiao is so sensible. I am glad, but words alone are not enough to show your sincerity. If you sincerely pledge allegiance to me, I hope Great General Xiao can personally take the heads of the three of them. I believe that with the general's strength, it should be as easy as blowing off dust. "
