The Giant Elemental Qi Palm tightly grasped Zhou Yun, the crisp sound of bones cracking was clearly audible. Zhou Yun couldn't break free from the restraint, his entire face flushed a pig liver color.
Mu Jinyu heard Zhou Yun's frantic and frightened pleas for mercy, and sneered, mocking, "Now you're not arguing with me about seizing the Blood Yuan Crystal?"
"Alright, regardless of whether you're concerned about this matter or not, it doesn't matter to me, but I will argue with you about the time you wanted to use the Blood Essence Pool to kill me as I was breaking through to the Fanxu Realm!"
"Back then, you plotted against me, and I said nothing afterwards, did you really think I was ignorant and didn't understand your secret attacks behind my back? If it wasn't for the gap in strength between us and being in the Blood Sword Sect's territory, did you think I would swallow this resentment silently?"
As Mu Jinyu spoke, the cold light in his eyes grew stronger, and the Giant Elemental Qi Palm gripping Zhou Yun tightened even further. A series of explosive sounds echoed, and Zhou Yun's entire body was deformed.
"Ah!! It's not... my fault... I don't know... ah..."
Zhou Yun's body was nearly being crushed by Mu Jinyu, unable to endure, he let out a howl of utmost agony.
Mu Jinyu heard his wailing, his gaze remained icy, without a trace of fluctuation, he continued in a calm voice, "Wanting to destroy my Path and kill me, even if I only seized your Blood Essence Pool, why not destroy your Blood Sword Sect as well! You dare come to me, do you really think the Heavenly Sword Faction is easy to bully?"
After saying this, a flash of murderous intent erupted in Mu Jinyu's eyes, and he exerted force abruptly, instantly the Giant Elemental Qi Palm tightened fiercely!
"Boom!"
A loud explosion sounded abruptly.
However, unfortunately, it wasn't the sound of Zhou Yun's body being crushed by Mu Jinyu's Giant Elemental Qi Palm, but rather Zhou Yun desperately broke the Giant Elemental Qi Palm and escaped!
"Hah!!"
Zhou Yun's eyes burned red, his black hair wildly flying, each strand of hair carrying immense power, causing the void to subtly twist along with his hair's movement.
"Mu Jinyu, you forced me to this!!"
Zhou Yun's aura at this moment, how could it merely be the Fourth Layer of the Fanxu Realm?
It was clearly the aura of the Peak Fifth Layer of the Fanxu Realm!
As soon as Mu Jinyu grasped Zhou Yun with the Giant Elemental Qi Palm and trapped him, Zhou Yun realized things were bad, but being suppressed too heavily by the palm, he couldn't move his hands and feet, thus he had to bow and show weakness while secretly using Spiritual Thought to draw the "Blood Demon Life-Reducing Pill" from the storage bag.
He absorbed the potency of several pills, sacrificing over a hundred years of lifespan, just barely escaping Mu Jinyu's capture at the verge of being crushed!
Originally, upon seeing Mu Jinyu's cultivation had reached Peak Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm, and having practiced the "Killing Character Secret Technique," Zhou Yun knew that if he didn't fight desperately, he would not stand a chance,
but his lifespan was limited, and he didn't want to fight Mu Jinyu desperately, he only wished to escape the Heavenly Sword Faction, return to the Blood Sword Sect first, seize important items, and leave Yan Kingdom.
Yet with Mu Jinyu pressing him repeatedly, he ultimately had no choice but to fight desperately in pursuit of survival!
Having lived for too long, his lifespan was already reduced to a few hundred years, burning another hundred this time, how could he willingly escape from Mu Jinyu's grasp?
He didn't believe that Mu Jinyu, merely in the Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm, could cross two minor realms and defeat him!
"Hah!! Blood Refining the Sky!!"
Zhou Yun's black hair wildly danced, and with a shout of rage, his black hair began turning crimson, as if stained with fresh blood!
In an instant, heaven and earth transformed, the surrounding environment lost color, becoming a world of blood.
"Hmm?"
Mu Jinyu looked at Zhou Yun with an intrigued gaze, witnessing him unleash his killer move, the scene before him was reminiscent of his battle with Dao Wuming, when Dao Wuming unleashed "Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains"!
However, Zhou Yun's strength and the rank of this move "Blood Refining the Sky" far surpassed Dao Wuming and "Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains"!
"Interesting!"
Mu Jinyu's eyes sparkled with interest, then he too gave a small shout, "Blood Refining the Sky!"
"Boom!!"
Once the words left his mouth, the blood-red environment immediately thickened!
If when Zhou Yun released his ultimate killing move, the world merely lost color and turned purely blood-red, now as Mu Jinyu also executed "Blood Refining the Sky," the world transformed into one dyed in blood, so thick it seemed about to drip!
The ground beneath turned into a blood swamp!
"You!! How can you?!"
Seeing Mu Jinyu also unleashing the Blood Sword Sect's ultimate killing move, Zhou Yun was stunned, his eyes almost popping out of his sockets!
The gestures of unleashing "Blood Refining the Sky" stopped abruptly.
Instinctively wanting to compare, to see if Mu Jinyu truly mastered this move "Blood Refining the Sky"!
"Heh..."
Mu Jinyu chuckled lightly, his movements abruptly sped up, while shouting, "Seeing you resist repeatedly, you are unwilling to fall, thus today, I'll use your Blood Sword Sect's killing move to send you on your way, as you wander the River to the Netherworld, knowing your sect's techniques are propagated by me, you can smile in the underworld!"
With these words!
"Boom!!"
The entire blood-colored world suddenly turned into a massive furnace, akin to the blazing sun in the sky, the thick blood within began to burn madly.
"Ah!!!"
Almost instantly, Zhou Yun, just realizing the situation, his entire flesh followed suit and began to burn within the blood-colored world.
In moments, nothing remained but a skeleton, stubbornly persisting in the blood-colored sea of fire.
But upon closer inspection, in the skull, in the eye sockets, two faint spots of light flickered.
They were precisely Zhou Yun's Divine Soul Power!
If Mu Jinyu let him go at this point, Zhou Yun, in his current state, couldn't restore his physical body but could seize others and occupy a new body to barely survive.
However, would Mu Jinyu let him go?!
Of course not!
So, with Mu Jinyu's strength increasing, "boom" went Zhou Yun's white bones shattering, his soul burned away by the blood flames!
Thus, originally arrogant, after consuming the Blood Demon Life-Reducing Pill, achieving strength at the Peak Fifth Layer of the Fanxu Realm, the Supreme Elder of the Blood Sword Sect, Zhou Yun, fell at Mu Jinyu's hands.
"No!!"
"Great Elder!!"
At this moment, the Blood Sword Sect's senior elders finally arrived shortly from Tianlan Peak.
Upon their first glance here, they witnessed Zhou Yun being refined to death by Mu Jinyu using their sect's killer move!
Scaring them out of their wits, they were horrified!
Dao Wuming was also among them, his gaze towards Mu Jinyu now full of complexity, fear, and disbelief!
He couldn't imagine the Mu Jinyu from less than a month ago, who fought him evenly in the Four Sects Martial Meeting, struggling exceedingly hard to defeat him, if it wasn't for using the Bi Fang Cauldron, Mu Jinyu wouldn't have been his match!
Yet less than a month later, Mu Jinyu's strength not only rose from Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm to Peak Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm, but also, without using the Bi Fang Cauldron, he refined to death the mighty Zhou Yun, who consumed the Blood Demon Life-Reducing Pill reaching strength at the Peak Fifth Layer of the Fanxu Realm!
If this was the case, then the duel bet placed with Zhou Taiping, arising from unwillingness, would be utterly reduced to a joke!
