Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 313 What kneeling and sitting! That was just kneeling for me!

The comparison was naturally inappropriate, but the essence of the situation was the same. He couldn't help but look at the three women, feeling an inexplicable urge to laugh.

All three were staring intently at Ren Jie, who was prostrated on the ground, still in a daze. They never expected a being who crossed both gender and racial boundaries to suddenly appear. Just a moment ago, he had casually shown off a skill to prove he was a supreme expert. He hadn't even begun to truly gloat before he was on his knees. Not only did he turn spineless, but he immediately started licking boots.

What in the world is going on?!

After coming to their senses, the three women shouted in unison, "Scram!"

The next moment, they exchanged looks and smiled at each other.

When an enemy appears, we must present a united front.

Although they knew Ning Xuan was absolutely unshakable, the pressure from this newcomer was immense. This fellow was extremely strong and, damn it, so incredibly adaptable!

The three women even felt a sense of relief.

Thank goodness it's male. Otherwise, Ning Xuan might have actually compromised.

Its next action only solidified their assessment.

"Alrighty!"

Upon hearing their shout, Ren Jie rolled away without the slightest hesitation!

The three women were stunned. By the time they recovered, the fellow who had rolled a full circle had returned to his original spot. He looked up and asked, "My three mistresses, do I need to roll a few more times?"

PFFT!

The three women couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. They didn't know how he'd managed it, but his face looked as if it had been rolled in coal dust, with only his two eyes blinking. It was all too sudden, and since they weren't trained to keep a straight face, they simply couldn't suppress their laughter.

Besides, his words were so pleasing to the ear!

However, Yuan Xueying's face suddenly turned pale. Realizing the implications, she glanced at Ning Xuan, then at Yuan Yurong, before hissing, "Don't speak nonsense!"

On the ground, Ren Jie thought to himself, This is bad… but he didn't panic. Just as he was about to offer a rebuttal, he suddenly looked up past the three women.

"Young Master Ning, I demand an explanation!" a voice, seething with suppressed rage, sounded from behind them.

It was Zhu Ruoyu's voice!

It had somehow reverted to its previous form, but its body was a wreck. Not only was its skin split open and flesh gashed, but it had even lost a trotter!

Ning Xuan looked quite surprised. "Explanation? I have no idea what you're talking about."

"That sword!"

"Oh, you mean this? Take it. Do with it as you please."

Ning Xuan immediately tossed the Cloud Floating Sword over.

Zhu Ruoyu caught it instinctively. Then, it swung the sword at Ning Xuan.

To its surprise, the sword obeyed this time!

A sharp cry rang out as Zhongli Ruoruo moved to block the unstoppable beam of sword light.

As a result, PFFT! She spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward, along with Ning Xuan who was right behind her.

Zhu Ruoyu was stupefied. My pig brain can't even begin to fathom why!

The Cloud Floating Sword didn't give it much time to think, as it began to resonate with a hum. Then, Zhu Ruoyu realized it could now communicate with the sword telepathically!

"You want to drink blood?"

BUZZ!

"You want to drink Ning Xuan's blood first? His blood is a great supplement??"

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhu Ruoyu burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, the heavens are helping me! I get it! You were testing me just now, weren't you? You wanted to see if I could defeat that mad dog?!

"That's only one of the reasons? The most important thing was to test my courage? You wanted to know if I had the guts to fall out completely with Ning Xuan?

"A twofold test, and I passed both perfectly? Hahaha, rest assured, I will make your name echo throughout the Seven Realms!"

Zhu Ruoyu seemed to be talking to itself, but it was actually communicating with the Cloud Floating Sword.

Nearby, Ning Xuan and Zhongli Ruoruo helped each other to their feet, both apparently heavily injured. The Yuan master and disciple had already rushed over to them.

Ren Jie, however, remained where he was. He glanced at Ning Xuan's group, then back at Zhu Ruoyu, a flicker of relief once again in his eyes.

This Ning Xuan is terrifying! With just a few simple tricks, he played that old pig for a fool! Not only that, he wants to use a borrowed knife to kill someone! He wants Old Pig and me to kill each other. And the worst part is, I can't refuse!

His resolve hardening, Ren Jie took the initiative, stood up, and called out, "Old Pig, kill yourself. I'll leave you an intact corpse."

"Who the hell are you? You got a death wish?!"

A true Peerless Divine Weapon, a Magical Treasure said to be wielded only by the strongest experts of the Human Race, had acknowledged it as its master. The old pig decided to lay its cards on the table. It was fearless!

Ren Jie was genuinely surprised. "You really don't know who I am?"

"A despicable Human Slave... no, you're not from the Human Race! But that aura on you..."

The old pig's brow furrowed, utterly baffled.

"Ahem, it said its name is Ren Jie," Ning Xuan reminded them weakly from behind.

"Wh-what?! You're Ren... Ren... Ren Jie!"

The old pig leaped back, stuttering.

Of course, it knew who Ren Jie was. In Tianyang, there was scarcely a beast that didn't know the name. It... no, *he* wasn't the first to publicly declare his wish to become human, nor was he the first to succeed. In fact, his combat power couldn't compare to those other few. But his movement technique was indisputably the most uncanny. With his singular mastery of the Body Technique Skill, he held sway over Tianyang and possessed the ability to assassinate any expert! It had actually been on good terms with the guy before.

"Haha, so it's Brother Ren. Your face is so grimy, with only your eyes showing. I was about to greet you, but then I remembered you were still in seclusion. That must be why this misunderstanding happened." Gripping the sword tightly, the old pig forced a smile at Ren Jie, its entire body tense, not daring to let its guard down for a second.

"Wait a minute! Brother Ren, why were you... ahem, resting on your knees on the ground just now?"

The old pig suddenly recalled the earlier scene, its confusion mounting.

Ren Jie corrected him with grave seriousness, "'Resting on my knees'? I was kneeling! I was trying to acknowledge Young Master Ning as my master! He was just about to agree when you came and ruined everything! Now, tell me, what crime does that make you guilty of?!"

A terrifying killing intent emanated from him, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, ready to choose a victim and devour them whole!

"Wh-what? You... what did you say?"

The old pig was completely dumbstruck!

Tianyang was vast, and with Ren Jie's abilities, he could roam it freely. Countless beasts in Tianyang dreamed of following him. A being like him, if placed in the human world, would be an undisputed chosen one, a true pride of the heavens!

But now, he was actually groveling at Ning Xuan's feet! And he'd ended up in such a state!

Moreover, it had offered Ren Jie an out, but not only did Ren Jie refuse to take it, he kicked the ladder away himself.

The old pig desperately wanted to know what had happened!

Unfortunately, Ren Jie had no intention of giving it that opportunity.

"What I said isn't important! What's important is that you dared to attack my future master! So, tell me, how do you want to die?!"

Hearing this, the old pig's first instinct was to flee! This opponent could assassinate an expert in less than a breath's time! It was no match for him at all!

Just then.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

The old pig's eyes lit up.

That's right. I have a treasure now. What the hell is there to be afraid of!

In an instant, the old pig's courage surged.
