**Chapter 1143: Giving Face to the Xuangang Deity**

A loud shout pulled Lin Moyu’s thoughts back to reality, simultaneously suppressing Zhu Qiwu’s inner shock. Lin

Zhu Qiwu saw three young men blocking Lin Moyu’s path.

Three humans...

The newcomers looked unfriendly, and the leader clearly harbored hostility towards Lin Moyu.

Such hostile eyes couldn’t escape the notice of an old fox like Zhu Qiwu, who had lived for ten thousand years.

"Interesting, there’s a deity behind them. Let’s see how this brat handles it." Zhu Qiwu’s figure gradually disappeared, blending into the void.

With his strength, unless he actively revealed himself, it was difficult for others to detect him.

Lin Moyu found the voice familiar and looked at the newcomers, smiling to himself, "So it’s him."

The three people stood less than a kilometer away from him.

For a True God realm cultivator, the difference between a kilometer and a meter was negligible.

The leader, Shao Xiuyuan, had only met Lin Moyu once.

This guy liked Gu Qingxuan, but unfortunately, it was unrequited love; Gu Qingxuan didn’t fancy him at all.

Because of Gu Qingxuan, there had been some minor conflicts between Lin Moyu and Shao Xiuyuan.

It wasn’t a real conflict, just a difference of opinion.

The Great World was so vast that Lin Moyu thought they might never meet again in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly, fate had other plans.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "What’s the matter?"

Shao Xiuyuan sneered, "You don’t even call me senior brother. Don’t you know basic manners?"

Shao Xiuyuan was exuding the aura of a sixth-stage True God, indeed two stages higher than Lin Moyu.

Humans, inheriting from the Human Emperor, often addressed each other as senior and junior brothers.

But this wasn’t a strict rule, and there were no hard and fast regulations.

Now, Shao Xiuyuan was using this to criticize him, which Lin Moyu found amusing, "Don’t you think you’re being a bit childish?"

Shao Xiuyuan’s face changed dramatically, "What did you say?"

A dangerous aura rose from him, and a powerful pressure spread through the starry sky.

The two people with him silently spread out, subtly blocking Lin Moyu’s path.

Shao Xiuyuan said, "Do you remember what I told you before?"

Lin Moyu didn’t even think before replying, "I forgot. Did you say something?"

Lin Moyu’s attitude clearly showed that he didn’t take Shao Xiuyuan seriously. Otherwise, how could he forget what was said?

In fact, in Lin Moyu’s eyes, Shao Xiuyuan was just a clown.

How could he remember what such a person said? It would be too tiring.

Shao Xiuyuan’s face grew even darker, "I told you not to let me see you outside the human race."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "It seems someone did say that to me. So it was you."

Boom!

The starry sky around Shao Xiuyuan exploded as he clenched his fists, as if he wanted to crush the stars.

"Lin Moyu, you’re courting death!"

Killing intent surged from him, and his eyes grew colder, "There’s no Human Emperor Network here. Even if I kill you, nothing will happen."

Lin Moyu remained indifferent, "Is that so? In that case, I can kill you too."

Shao Xiuyuan laughed maniacally, "Kill me? Do you have what it takes?"

Lin Moyu looked at him and sighed, "You must have been on the battlefield for a while now."

Shao Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Lin Moyu said that.

Indeed, he had been on the battlefield for a while, ever since his last conflict with Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu thought that if Shao Xiuyuan had come recently, he would have known about Lin Moyu’s rise on the potential list and his encounter with the Inspection Team.

Anyone with a brain could deduce Lin Moyu’s strength from these events.

He wouldn’t be here spouting nonsense.

Shao Xiuyuan couldn’t figure it out and stopped thinking, coldly saying, "I’ll give you a chance now. Kneel and apologize to me. Then never see Junior Sister Gu again, and I’ll spare your life."

"Kneel?"

Lin Moyu chuckled, "For the sake of us both being human, I’ll give face to the Xuangang Deity. Apologize to me now, and I’ll let bygones be bygones. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said before."

Shao Xiuyuan was infuriated, feeling that Lin Moyu was throwing his words back at him.

What nonsense about giving face to his grandfather!

"Who do you think you are? My grandfather needs your face? You’re courting death!" Shao Xiuyuan roared, sending a white beam of light shooting towards Lin Moyu like an arrow.

The Xuangang Law, ranked in the second tier.

It was said to be born from a mysterious light in the starry sky, possessing sharp characteristics, capable of piercing everything.

Among the second-tier laws, the Xuangang Law’s power was moderate, neither strong nor weak.

The strength of its attack depended on the user.

Lin Moyu didn’t dodge, letting the Xuangang beam hit him.

His skeletal armor flashed, blocking the attack.

The skeletal armor shone brightly, remaining intact.

After reaching the peak of the True God realm, his physical defense had greatly increased.

To Lin Moyu’s surprise, the skeletal armor had also become much stronger.

He remembered the initial attributes of the skeletal armor, which were determined by his physical attributes.

After evolving into a spell, the skeletal armor’s defense was determined by his soul.

But clearly, physical attributes still influenced the skeletal armor.

This influence had moved from the surface to the background.

Both the physical body and the soul affected the strength of the skeletal armor.

Shao Xiuyuan’s Xuangang Law couldn’t break through the skeletal armor.

A sixth-stage True God’s attack was too weak for Lin Moyu.

As the skeletal armor shone brightly, Shao Xiuyuan suddenly froze.

His body was enveloped in white light, and a layer of fine white bones appeared.

The spell linkage triggered an automatic counterattack from the skeletal prison.

In an instant, Shao Xiuyuan was trapped, and the paralysis effect of the skeletal prison immobilized him.

Only his mind could think; even his eyes couldn’t move.

In his horror, skeletal fangs and spears appeared, exploding on his body.

With a scream that echoed through the starry sky, Shao Xiuyuan fell from the white light, covered in blood.

His body was riddled with wounds, looking like a tattered rag.

Although cultivators focus on the soul, not the body, physical injuries are still easy to heal.

But the body is a vessel, and its collapse is not good for the soul.

With a True God’s recovery ability, it would take Shao Xiuyuan several days to heal his body.

In his fear, Shao Xiuyuan took out a white pill and swallowed it.

His body was immediately enveloped in light, and his wounds began to heal rapidly.

Lin Moyu sensed the pill’s immense life force and law power.

"It should be the Life Law," Lin Moyu thought, his mind moving slightly.

Shao Xiuyuan screamed again as his healing wounds reopened.

The death power of the Undying Law erupted, clashing with the life power of the pill.

Shao Xiuyuan’s body became a battlefield for the two laws.

"Stop!"

The two cultivators with Shao Xiuyuan simultaneously attacked Lin Moyu.
