Chapter 79 Mu En is enraged! He brutally whips Xuan Zi! Xuan Zi's skin is torn and bleeding!
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, the air seemed to freeze.
Mu En sat on the recliner, his eyes fixed on Xuan Zi, who was sitting in front of him with his head down, silent and constantly twisting his sleeves.
Mu En really knows Xuanzi too well.
They had been together for decades, and he noticed every subtle change in Xuanzi's expression.
In Mu En's memory, if Xuanzi had brought back good news of meritorious service, he would probably already be shouting loudly, or even grabbing a wine jug to celebrate.
But now, Xuanzi's face was not only pale, but his eyes were also unfocused, and he didn't even have the courage to look Mu En in the eye.
This unusual silence and unease, in Moon's view, meant only one thing:
My worst fears have come true.
Mu En's gentle aura vanished in an instant, replaced by a chilling cold that made the entire Sea God Pavilion tremble slightly.
He leaned forward, supporting himself on the handrail, and a sharp glint flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"Xuanzi, I'll ask you one last time." Mu En's voice was deep and cold, devoid of any warmth.
"Is that double-pupiled genius who killed evil soul masters on the border of Star Luo and got engaged to Princess Vina in the Heavenly Soul Imperial City the same Liu Yuan who was expelled from our Shrek Academy by you?"
Xuanzi's body trembled violently, his lips moved a few times, and finally, as if he had completely lost his support, he squeezed out a very light but extremely heavy word from his throat.
"Um..."
Overwhelmed by fear and guilt, Xuanzi seemed completely exhausted after uttering that word.
Moon's chest heaved violently after receiving an affirmative answer.
He felt a buzzing in his brain, and even a brief moment of darkness before his eyes. It was an impact born of extreme anger and sorrow.
"madness!"
Mu En suddenly let out a furious roar, and the terrifying soul power contained in that voice shattered the solid wood table inside the Sea God Pavilion into dust.
Kneel down!
These two words, like thunderbolts striking in close succession, directly bombarded Xuanzi's spiritual sea.
Although Xuanzi was a level 98 Super Douluo, he had no intention of resisting Mu En in his current state of rage. His knees buckled and he crashed heavily to the floor.
Mu En's withered body stood ramrod straight as he looked down at Xuan Zi, who was kneeling on the ground. His voice trembled uncontrollably: "Xuan Zi... do you know your crime? Do you know what you have done?"
Xuanzi lowered his head, letting the cold sweat slide down his forehead, and could only nod bitterly.
"I know I'm guilty...I'm guilty..."
"Confess your guilt? Can your confession outweigh Shrek Academy's reputation for ten thousand years? Can it outweigh the reputation of a future Limit Douluo?"
Mu En had completely broken down by this point. He pointed at Xuan Zi's nose and angrily rebuked him: "As an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, it's one thing for you to break the rules on a regular basis, but your vision has become so narrow!"
"Liu Yuan is not only a genius, but also the orphan of a martyr of the Shrek Academy Inspection Team! His parents shed their last drop of blood for the academy, and you not only failed to take care of him as promised, but you couldn't even tolerate these mere six years!"
"You personally severed all ties between Shrek Academy and the descendants of heroes. You personally pushed a child who should have become the pillar of Shrek Academy into the arms of the Body Sect!"
"I originally thought you were just lazy, but I never imagined you could be this stupid!"
Xuanzi opened his mouth, wanting to argue that Liu Yuan's martial soul did indeed seem useless back then, but seeing Mu En's murderous gaze, he ultimately swallowed his words.
He knew very well that in the face of facts, any reason was pale and powerless.
Seeing Xuanzi's lifeless appearance, Mu En's anger not only did not subside, but burned even more fiercely.
"You come out here right now!"
Mu En suddenly stood up, his golden soul power erupting instantly. He grabbed Xuan Zi by the back of his collar, and in a flash, the two of them arrived at the open space outside the Sea God Pavilion.
This is the most sacred core area of Shrek Academy, and at this moment, Moon no longer intends to maintain that so-called elder demeanor.
Mu En clenched his right hand in the air, and the originally gentle golden soul power twisted and compressed in the air, instantly condensing into a thick whip several meters long.
The long whip was covered with golden patterns like lightning, exuding a chilling aura of law.
"If I don't teach you a lesson today, I will have no face to see the ancestors of the Sea God Pavilion, and even less face to see Liu Yuan's parents who died in the line of duty!"
Before he could finish speaking, Moon suddenly swung his right hand.
"Smack!"
A piercing sonic boom exploded in the air.
The whip, condensed from ultimate soul power, left a brilliant golden afterimage as it lashed fiercely at Xuanzi's back.
Xuanzi's powerful body, which was originally capable of withstanding attacks of the same level, was easily torn apart like paper by Mu En's hateful strike.
With a tearing sound, the fabric on Xuanzi's back ripped open instantly, revealing a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain that ran across his entire back. The flesh rolled back instantly, and before the bright red blood could even drip, it was vaporized into a blood mist by the high temperature attached to the whip.
"ah--!"
Xuanzi let out a heart-wrenching scream. Due to the enormous impact, he was thrown to the ground, plowing a deep furrow in the lawn.
However, Moon showed no sign of stopping. His face was terribly grim, and the soul whip in his hand whistled down once more.
"This lash is for Liu Yuan's parents! It's to punish you for your ingratitude!"
"Smack!"
Another loud bang.
The whip lashed hard across Xuanzi's ribs, instantly tearing the flesh apart and revealing the cracked ribs.
"This lash is for Shrek Academy's eternal legacy! It's a lash at your shortsightedness!"
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Mu En seemed to have gone mad, his golden whip transforming into a dense, impenetrable trail, each lash imbued with his disappointment in Xuanzi and his regret for Liu Yuan.
Xuanzi lay on the ground, his body convulsing violently.
His once elegant cloak was now in tatters, and he was beaten beyond recognition. His back, arms, and thighs were covered in torn flesh, and blood quickly soaked into the grass.
He was in so much pain that he rolled around on the ground, letting out desperate cries of pain.
Because Mu En injected a special mental shock into the whip, the pain directly affected the nerves and the depths of the soul, making it unbearable even for a level 98 Super Douluo.
Even so, Moon's expression remained cold, and the speed at which he wielded the whip did not slow down in the slightest. Each strike produced a sickeningly loud sound of flesh colliding.
Just as this extremely brutal punishment continued for several minutes, the commotion around the Sea God Pavilion finally alerted the other powerful figures in the inner courtyard.
Xuanzi's screams were so shrill that it seemed as if Mu En's soul power was about to tear down the Golden Tree.
The elders, who were originally in seclusion or handling affairs, all showed expressions of fear and transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the Sea God Pavilion.
Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, Elder Song... these powerful figures who were famous throughout the continent were all stunned when they arrived at the scene and saw what was happening before them.
What did they see?
The usually kind and even somewhat decrepit Elder Mu was now frantically whipping Elder Xuan.
Meanwhile, the usually eccentric and arrogant Elder Xuan was now lying in a pool of blood, beaten almost beyond recognition, his screams echoing throughout the inner courtyard.
"Elder Mu! What are you doing?" Yan Shaozhe reacted immediately. He looked at Xuanzi's back with its skin torn and bleeding, his eyes reddening slightly. He wanted to step forward to stop him, but was pushed back by the terrifying aura emanating from Mu En.
"Elder Mu, let's talk this out! Even if Elder Xuan made a mistake, it doesn't deserve this!" Xian Lin'er hurriedly called out, her voice filled with anxiety.
"Shut up!"
Moon turned his head sharply, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the approaching crowd, his voice hoarse and crazed: "You ask him what he did? Ask him how he personally destroyed Shrek's future!"
The golden whip in Mu En's hand fell heavily again, completely draining Xuanzi's last bit of strength.
Looking at Mu En's resolute expression and then at Xuan Zi wailing in a pool of blood, none of the elders dared to take another step forward.
