Three seconds after Mu Jinyu sent his True Essence Power crashing into Tai Sui, he suddenly felt a terrifying oppressive force descending from the unknown above!
This oppressive force was too dreadful, carrying ill omens, gloom, and a deathly aura, fiercely enveloping Mu Jinyu from all directions!
"Plop!!"
Mu Jinyu's heart instantly seized up, continuously employing True Essence Power and Divine Thought Power to resist this pressure!
However, it had no effect whatsoever, and he ultimately was blasted backward by this terrifying force, vomiting fresh blood and looking quite pitiful!
It seemed that this oppressive force was neither an attack from nature's spiritual energy, Elemental Qi, nor an assault on the soul like Divine Thought Power or spiritual power!
Therefore, he couldn't protect himself!
It was like a butcher's menacing glare, inherently carrying an evil and murderous aura, which, upon anger, made it so that ordinary people dared not make eye contact or speak above a whisper.
Mu Jinyu had just had a dispute with a pig butcher while buying meat, like an ordinary citizen, and after pushing the butcher a bit for some reason, the butcher glared with furious eyes and picked up his slaughtering knife, poised to chop…
And Mu Jinyu himself was scared into stumbling backward, eventually tripping over a stone and taking a hard fall!
"Wow… spurt…"
Mu Jinyu lay on the ground, opening his mouth to once again expel a large amount of fresh blood.
Jian Ruyan, who had been standing by to protect Gu Xiyan and the others, saw this and furrowed her brows, stamped her foot on the ground, and in an instant, leaped forward like a leopard to Mu Jinyu's side, helping him up, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine..." Mu Jinyu lay in Jian Ruyan's arms, his face pale, eyes filled with shock and uncertainty, inhaled the faint elegant scent emanating from Jian Ruyan, and weakly said, "This stone is indeed very strange, I almost died."
At that moment, he felt both terrified and fortunate. Fortunately, he had not used his full strength to strike at the rock but had only employed about the strength of the First Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm; otherwise, he would have undoubtedly died!
For the force Tai Sui returned was reactionary, escalating to the strength of the Second Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm!
If he had gone all out earlier, using the power of the Fourth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm, perhaps what Tai Sui returned would have been the Fifth Layer?
Or even doubled, amounting to the strength of the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm?
If it were the latter, that would be indeed terrifying!
Most importantly, the returned attack was unavoidable!
One could only endure it directly!
"It's that serious?"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Jian Ruyan's frown deepened, and she asked with concern, "How are your injuries?"
"They're manageable." Mu Jinyu took a few breaths and said, "It looks a bit ragged, but it's just some superficial damage, no internal injuries, fortunately…"
As he spoke, Mu Jinyu also adjusted his breathing, struggling to rise from Jian Ruyan's arms, staggering to stand on the ground.
"This stone is rather large; it's a bit inconvenient to transport it back to Yinlong Mountain by specialized vehicles, and it's also easy to get robbed on the way…"
Mu Jinyu examined Tai Sui, no longer doubting whether it could be used for Yinlong Mountain's Mountain Protection Array, and began to figure out how to transport it back to Jiangnan Province.
"Right, try the Shennong Cauldron…"
Mu Jinyu's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking of the Shennong Cauldron that could change size.
Thinking that the Shennong Cauldron had the ability to expand and shrink, he wondered if placing the stone inside it could also shrink it for easy transport.
Thinking it, he did it.
Mu Jinyu immediately took out the Shennong Cauldron from his trouser pocket and then activated a spell, enlarging it from the size of a small wine barrel to over ten feet high, then carefully began moving the green stone.
Indeed, as he didn't actively attack it, he didn't suffer any backlash.
Mu Jinyu successfully lifted it and then placed this nearly two-meter-tall Green Stone into the Shennong Cauldron!
"Clang!"
Once Tai Sui was placed inside the cauldron, it immediately emitted a buzzing sound, but fortunately, the Magic Treasure and the Exotic Treasure coexisted peacefully, not colliding inside!
"Shrink!"
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu felt that he had succeeded another step, he relaxed slightly, then pinched a spell and shouted.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the over three-meter-tall Shennong Cauldron began to emit a faint clear glow, then, following Mu Jinyu's will, it automatically began to shrink.
Very smoothly!
In the end, the Shennong Cauldron indeed shrank along with Tai Sui back to the size of a wine jug without any abnormal occurrences.
Mu Jinyu took the Shennong Cauldron and peered inside.
He saw that Tai Sui had turned into a fist-sized rock inside, emitting a faint green light, and it looked quite full of Dao Rhyme.
"Hm?!"
As Mu Jinyu curiously watched, he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance spreading, and a strand of hair tickled his nose, making it a bit itchy.
He looked up.
It turned out to be Jian Ruyan, who, seeing him use the Shennong Cauldron to shrink and store Tai Sui, also felt very amazed and leaned in to see what Tai Sui looked like inside the Shennong Cauldron.
"Fun, right?"
Mu Jinyu guessed Jian Ruyan's thoughts, smiled slightly, and handed her the Shennong Cauldron, "Here, take your time and look."
"Okay." Jian Ruyan took the Shennong Cauldron, her fair and lovely face losing its usual lofty chill, now carrying a hint of curiosity and joy.
Just like a little girl who had received a toy she liked.
Although she didn't want to appear too happy, she still revealed a bit of it.
Mu Jinyu smiled slightly, said nothing, then turned his head to glance at Gu Xiyan and the other two women who were still practicing their cultivation, then shifted his gaze toward Xiao Yang's family and the people from the Dan Pavilion!
He hadn't forgotten, it was just a while ago that these people from the Dan Pavilion had blocked him, provoked him, and then called Gu Xunchao to deal with him.
Although, even if the people from the Dan Pavilion hadn't done so, he would have eventually confronted Gu Xunchao anyway, but this was no reason to let the people from the Dan Pavilion off.
"Hehe, it's time to settle the score with these people…"
Mu Jinyu's mouth curled into a cold smile, then he stepped towards them!
The reason he had not immediately obliterated these people from the Dan Pavilion during the battle with Gu Xunchao, despite having the capability, was precisely to see if the Dan Pavilion had any utilitarian value,
such as, the Dan Pavilion also researched Pills, did they have any Pill Formulas or valuable Spiritual Medicines in their organization!
Otherwise, why would he leave these fools alive at all?
Only ten or so minutes had passed since the battle between Mu Jinyu and Gu Xunchao, and the people from the Dan Pavilion were still immobilized for at least half an hour due to the pressure exerted by Mu Jinyu.
Wang Mao was prostrate on the ground, having not died in the previous brutal rain of bullets, he watched Mu Jinyu approaching him, and his fear escalated endlessly!
He was terrified!
Even the Ancient Elder, who was their reliance, had already been killed by Mu Jinyu with his own power!
Were not these motionless people just like fish on the chopping board, completely at his mercy?
