"Boom!!"
Mu Jinyu rushed to Ye Wushuang's side, his expression stern as he lifted his blood-drenched right fist. Fist strength burst forth, surging like a tidal wave, smashing straight towards Ye Wushuang's head!
"Clang!"
Ye Wushuang was no fool and naturally wouldn't let Mu Jinyu's punch explode his head, immediately raising his sword to block!
At this moment, Ye Wushuang had absolutely no intention of fighting Mu Jinyu to the death.
His plan was simply to block Mu Jinyu's attacks, then wait for the myriad swords to arrive and execute Ling Chi on Mu Jinyu. Mu Jinyu would undoubtedly suffer even more severe injuries and, in the end, Ye Wushuang wouldn't need to exert much effort to easily take care of Mu Jinyu!
Therefore, Ye Wushuang's sharpness gradually faded, his fighting spirit weakened, and his heart held only the idea of delay!
"Ting ting, tang tang!"
Mu Jinyu, however, had none of Ye Wushuang's plentiful thoughts. One punch thrown, blocked by Ye Wushuang and the sharp Sword Qi cut into his palm, he ignored the pain and launched another punch towards Ye Wushuang!
In a matter of seconds, Mu Jinyu had exchanged four or five moves with Ye Wushuang!
Ye Wushuang's metacarpus split open, blood spattered, and he was almost unable to hold onto his Leopard Gall Sword!
Ye Wushuang fought in alarm, feeling that Mu Jinyu must be insane, to fight so desperately?!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
At that time, the twigs, leaves, and stone shards, all enhanced with fierce Sword Qi, were controlled by Ye Wushuang to fly into the battle ring!
"Hiss!"
A wooden branch was the first to reach Mu Jinyu's back, where Sword Qi burst forth, piercing directly into his back!
Following that, countless leaves and stone shards flew towards him, tearing his clothes to shreds and slicing his skin, causing Mu Jinyu's blood to surge wildly, spraying constantly, an extremely gruesome sight!
Contrary to the expectations of Su Zijin, Jian Ruyan, and others, Mu Jinyu wasn't dodging these hidden projectiles while fighting Ye Wushuang; instead, he allowed these twigs and leaves to wound him, continuing to fight Ye Wushuang without care!
They were all stunned!
Even Ye Wushuang was shocked for a moment, never expecting Mu Jinyu to face his myriad sword onslaught without dodging!
Afterward, Ye Wushuang sneered coldly, thinking it was just fine if this guy had gone mad, as he wouldn't have to work too hard to deal with him!
"Bang!"
"Boom!!"
"Ting ting, tang tang!!"
"Hiss, hiss!"
Mu Jinyu and Ye Wushuang fought ferociously, and under Mu Jinyu's brutally forceful attacks, Ye Wushuang had no power to counter, only the ability to keep blocking, almost like a tiny boat in a raging sea, constantly on the verge of capsizing and falling into the water!
And Mu Jinyu was in an even more wretched state, his flesh fists continuously clashing with the Leopard Gall Sword, blood flowing freely from split wounds, but what was more crucial was that he never dodged the myriad swords attacking from all directions, leaving his entire body without a patch of intact flesh, riddled with shocking, fine cuts, blood spurting relentlessly!
Jian Ruyan, unable to move and standing to the side, watched the blood-soaked Mu Jinyu continue to fight with Ye Wushuang, her heart aching fiercely, tears flowing non-stop from her eyes, her heart really in extreme distress.
Her cold heart felt an unusual emotion rising towards Mu Jinyu for the first time.
'Hurry, hurry up, Mu Jinyu, you can't die!'
Jian Ruyan was hammering at the Restrictions that locked her movements while screaming in her heart.
'My brother asked you to take care of me; if you die, who will look after me? You can't die!'
On the other side, Su Zijin and others, watching Mu Jinyu become a bloody figure yet still valiantly battle Ye Wushuang, were weeping uncontrollably!
Yu Linglong, Lin Qiaoxia, Xu Qingya, and other women could not help but want to rush up to aid Mu Jinyu several times, but they were stopped by the somewhat more rational Su Zijin and Mu Hongchen.
These two knew that with their meager strength, rushing up would not give them a chance to assist Mu Jinyu; instead, they could easily be killed by Ye Wushuang with a simple leaf!
Rashness held no meaning; all they could do was stand on the side, waiting for the final outcome of the battle!
If Mu Jinyu loses in the end...
Mu Hongchen pursed her red lips, and a flash of killing intent passed through her eyes.
Then they would act as bait, luring Ye Wushuang over, and at that time, she would activate the Mountain Protection Array, letting the Nine Heavens Mysterious Kill Sword Formation crush Ye Wushuang to death, avenging Mu Jinyu!
Qiu Bai held the increasingly weak Yu Shenfeng, watching Mu Jinyu battle Ye Wushuang with a very complex look in his eyes.
"Dragon Master... you must kill Ye Wushuang, please don't let anything happen..."
Everyone present believed Mu Jinyu was in a very bad and extremely dangerous situation, likely to fall at any moment.
But only Mu Jinyu himself knew his condition was actually as good as it could possibly be.
Although he appeared to be covered in blood and in a very tragic state, all the attacks he suffered healed quickly under the influence of his Life Source Energy.
Aside from feeling excruciating pain akin to Ling Chi torture, he didn't have any issues at all, which only fueled his growing courage in battle!
He gritted his teeth, vowing to exact revenge!
And the others were merely concerned about him, which is why they did not find his growing combat fervor strange at all.
Only one person was an exception!
And that was Ye Wushuang, the one he was fighting!
Ye Wushuang was very aware of his own strength and the attack power of his Sword Domain. When he saw Mu Jinyu fight desperately, believing Mu Jinyu would fall within three minutes and die with no burial place!
Who would have thought that nearly seven minutes into the fight, Mu Jinyu was still jumping around lively, while he himself began to falter!
It was truly becoming more and more shocking the longer they fought!
Soon after, Ye Wushuang started to observe Mu Jinyu seriously and noticed that although Mu Jinyu was drenched in blood, upon closer inspection, there were no grievous wounds on him, just numerous tiny cuts!
And these small wounds were healing quickly!
It was only because new small wounds kept appearing due to the attacks of branches and leaves that he originally thought Mu Jinyu's injuries were getting more severe!
'Why doesn't he get injured?'
Ye Wushuang was alarmed and, as the struggle with Mu Jinyu continued, he began to feel overwhelmed!
After all, deploying the 'Sword Domain' also required a tremendous amount of True Yuan. He had been enduring for seven or eight minutes, thinking he could torture Mu Jinyu to death, but it turned out that Mu Jinyu was unscathed, whereas he himself could no longer sustain due to excessive True Yuan depletion!
"No, this guy is tricky. I can't keep fighting him any longer; otherwise, the one who dies won't be him, it will be me!"
Ye Wushuang couldn't hold back any longer. With a loud shout, he trembled and parried Mu Jinyu's attack with his sword, then staggered back several steps.
Then, under Mu Jinyu's astonished gaze, he didn't charge forward and fight desperately as before but instead stamped on the ground, leapt into the air, and started to flee for his life!
"You want to run away just like that?"
After his moment of astonishment, a cold smile appeared on Mu Jinyu's lips.
Ye Wushuang, who had fought him for so long, had greatly exhausted his True Yuan, while Mu Jinyu, with the Mystical Little Tree, had no loss of True Yuan, and his injuries had rapidly recovered under the rush of Life Source Energy, so one could say that he was still in prime condition!
It was already too late for Ye Wushuang to think of escaping!
"Stay!"
Mu Jinyu also stamped the ground, and his body soared into the air, quickly catching up to the staggering Ye Wushuang, and threw a punch straight at him. The robust True Yuan billowed out like an ocean surge and thunderously struck towards Ye Wushuang!
"Senior brother, save me!"
Feeling the onslaught from Mu Jinyu behind him, Ye Wushuang knew he could no longer withstand it, and he suddenly shouted loudly towards a certain direction!
"Swoosh!"
As soon as his words trailed off.
Instantly, a stream of azure Sword Qi pierced through the endless sky and arrived in a flash!
