Duanmu Lang and the others stopped their Escape Light as instructed.

Xiao Mu's displayed momentum was extraordinary, and in a short time, it intimidated Duanmu Lang and his companions so much that they didn't rush to attack right away.

"You think you can just give up because you realize you can't win? You've insulted us, and you think you can get off so easily?" Duanmu Lang angrily stared at Xiao Mu, his tone brimming with extreme dissatisfaction.

Xiao Mu smiled and sincerely said, "I was just joking with my four friends, it wasn't to be taken seriously. Of course, if my words have hurt my friends, I apologize and hope you won't take it to heart."

As he spoke, Xiao Mu suddenly bowed to Duanmu Lang and the others, very earnestly, as an apology.

The female Mutated Being among the four, Fang Mei, suddenly sneered with a twist of her mouth, "Upon realizing that you can't win, you try to solve it with an apology? Where in the world is it so easy?"

"Weren't you quite happy to insult us just now? Why are you backing down now?" Tian Jing disdainfully picked up the thread.

"If you want to apologize, then tell us the Mutation Method for the Escape Art. Seeing as we are all part of the same Alliance, we won't be too harsh." Hao Zun spoke up as well, showing no intention of backing down, "Otherwise, we'll continue to battle and decide the superior based on victory and defeat. Since we are all from the Alliance, we won't be too excessive. If you win, we'll leave; if we win, you hand over the Mutation Method for the Escape Art."

Xiao Mu's face remained smiling, regardless of what Fang Mei, Tian Jing, or Hao Zun said, his expression didn't change in the slightest as he looked towards Duanmu Lang.

Among the four, only Duanmu Lang was truly in charge. What the others said didn't count.

Duanmu Lang thought for a moment and made a decision, "Indeed, we came for the Mutation Method for the Escape Art, and since we're here, we didn't plan on leaving empty-handed."

"We asked politely, and if you two were unwilling to give it, that would have been it. But to start with provocation and insults, if I, Duanmu Lang, could tolerate this, would I still be considered a person? A mere apology won't suffice; hand over the Mutation Method for the Escape Art."

"Give us the Mutation Method for the Escape Art to show the sincerity of your apology, and we'll turn around and leave."

Xiao Mu smiled and kindly explained, "Brother Duanmu, I was talking nonsense just now. We really don't have the Mutation Method for the Escape Art."

Duanmu Lang's face darkened, displeased he said, "So, you're saying your apology is actually insincere?"

Hao Zun suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Duanmu, since the others are completely insincere, I think there's nothing more to say, right? If it needs to be settled by battle, let's settle it by battle."

Fang Mei huffed and twisted her mouth, "You were all high and mighty at first, showering us with insults. Now that you've realized you can't win, you open your mouth to apologize and seek a peaceful resolution, pah, where in this world do you get such a good deal?"

"Some people just need a good beating to start behaving," Tian Jing looked at Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen with utter disdain.

Xiao Mu still ignored the others and looked at Duanmu Lang, "Brother Duanmu, what do you say?"

Duanmu Lang said, "The four of us share weal and woe. Their words are my words."

"Alright then!"

With an expression of helplessness on his face, Xiao Mu looked at Duanmu Lang and calmly said, "Brother Duanmu, you must understand that the reason I'm discussing this with you, asking you to leave, and even apologizing, is not because I'm afraid of you. It's because I indeed was wrong at the beginning to insult you, and since we are all from the same Alliance, having conflicts outside does not benefit our internal unity."

"But if you persist in resolving this through battle, if I were to back down, you might actually think I'm afraid of you. Very well!"

As he finished speaking, Xiao Mu's expression suddenly became stern, and his entire aura surged, instantly reaching its peak. The Five Elements Power within him revolved, and the Five-Color Light Spectrum behind him flowed like glaze, the Five Elements Divine Light stood tall like swords.

Xiao Mu's gaze was sharp as a sword as he beckoned, "Come on then, win against me, and the Mutation Method for the Escape Art is yours."

Duanmu Lang's eyes brightened, "Are you serious?"

Xiao Mu's expression became grave, looking very serious, "I speak the truth."

"Good, then we won't hold back. Brothers and sisters, let's attack together," Duanmu Lang bellowed, signaling the other three to strike.

He had already seen that Xiao Mu was very powerful, and although he practiced the same Five Elements Divine Light as Du Wenzhen, his strength was even greater.

Despite this, he was not at all afraid. No matter how strong Xiao Mu was, he could not be an opponent for the four of them working together.

Hao Zun, Tian Jing, and Fang Mei did not hesitate to coordinate their attacks with Duanmu Lang, all four of them attacking Xiao Mu with their strongest assaults simultaneously.

Duanmu Lang waved his hand, and the Supreme Yang Qi from the Yin Yang Dual Energy transformed into the Supreme Yang Qi Dragon once again, whipping towards Xiao Mu like a living lash.

Hao Zun's both hands struck out together, the Gold and Earth Powers emitting from each hand, his left hand producing Extreme Gold Divine Light and his right the Extreme Earth Divine Light, sweeping horizontally towards Xiao Mu's body from left and right.

Tian Jing and Fang Mei simultaneously let out a high-pitched rebuke, using an Escape Art to move their figures and take up the best positions, while unleashing the Extreme Yin Blade and Yin Ming Needle.

The Extreme Yin Blade struck from the left, freezing not only the air but even the space itself, aiming to cut down Xiao Mu while blocking the effect of his use of the Escape Art.

By contrast, the Yin Ming Needle was silent and invisible, traversing reality, entering the Netherworld, and striking Xiao Mu from the shadows.

"Brother Duanmu, it seems your strength is not all that great after all," Xiao Mu declared.
