“Your confidence is unwarranted. I would say you need a coffin today but I suppose it won’t be useful given how you will die.” Li Qiye said.

“I will make sure to put an end to your arrogance in just a few moves.” Ouyang Dragon God trembled with rage.

“Boom!” He activated his power and nearly flipped the plain over, sending numerous cultivators flying.

“Tell me, how many moves will I need?” Li Qiye asked Six-style Emperor with a smile.

She pondered briefly before answering: “Two or three moves at most for anyone, Young Noble.”

“What?!” The answer of a once-powerful emperor astounded the crowd.

“Ouyang Dragon God is at the stately stage, not even an apex emperor can kill him in two or three moves.” A big shot shook her head. [1]

“Only a primal ancestor can kill a mighty desolate god that quickly.” Another desolate god said.

“Sigh, you truly look down on me.” Li Qiye shook his head and said.

Six-style turned red and said softly: “I apologize for my lack of knowledge. So just one move?”

“One move? Fine, if you say so, but one move is a waste for a single desolate god.” Li Qiye told her before turning to the crowd: “Come, come, our young lady speaks of one move so I will use one move to kill anyone who wants these scales, spares us all some time.”

“O-one move?” Everyone thought they had misheard.

Li Qiye’s previous arrogance could only be attributed to ignorance. Now, he wanted to include the apex emperors.

“He’s insane, arrogant people still have some wits to them.” Someone took a deep breath.

The first suggestion was already ridiculous enough - two or three moves to kill Ouyang Dragon God. Now, it became one move for the whole crowd.

“No one in this world can do this.” Another remarked.

“At least not in Sin, not Immortal Suppressor either since there are so many emperors and desolate gods, not to mention two at the apex level.” A third added.

“He has to be crazy to say something like this.” One more added.

“One to kill all of us?” Witch King’s group had a serious expression.

They were furious to hear the contemptuous statement. Nevertheless, they took a deep breath to calm down.

“You only need one move?” Golden Flower glared at him.

“Of course, but it also depends on how you all want to die, swift or slow.” Li Qiye said.

They became confused because deep down, they didn’t believe a mortal could kill them in one move. However, this mortal wasn’t crazy so where was his confidence coming from?

“Hahaha!” Dragon Pond burst out in laughter. An apex emperor couldn’t kill him in one move, let alone this mortal.

“I’ll be the one killing you in one move.” He jumped off the peak and landed in front of Li Qiye.

“Anyone else?” Li Qiye smiled: “Now is your chance to obtain these dragon scales. Kill me and split them up afterward.”

Although many were tempted after looking at the piles on the ground, the ancestors knew their limit. Only desolate gods and emperors were eligible to enter the stage.

“What else but death awaits the madman?” One spectator said.

The crowd’s focus was on Golden Flower and Witch King Emperor. Due to their strength, they were the de facto leaders.

“What a waste of time, Ouyang Dragon God and Dragon Pond Emperor are more than enough to kill him.” Someone remarked.

As for the apex emperors, they were busy calculating all the possible scenarios and came up with two plausible explanations.

The guy was either mad or actually had the power to kill them. However, Li Qiye was not mad, only absurdly egotistic at best. The issue was that they couldn’t imagine a method this mortal could use to kill them.

“A horde against one will ruin my reputation.” Golden Flower shook her head and refrained from joining. She thought there was something off about Li Qiye and exercised caution.

Witch King didn’t answer either, seemingly standing back as well.

“No one else? That’s okay, being afraid is a good thing, it’s better than joining and pissing your pants the moment before death.” Li Qiye said.

His harsh comment infuriated listeners.
