Mu Jinyu has always been the type to repay gratitude and seek revenge.
Yan Xuefei first tried to seriously injure him on the street, and after he gave her a small punishment, she brought people to try to tear him to pieces, while He Jingfeng arrogantly demanded he hand over the pill formula in exchange for leaving his corpse intact.
How could he just let them off easily after they admitted defeat?
Letting them leave peacefully?
If he weren't the kind with swift revenge.
When the Heavenly Sword Faction treated him kindly, he wouldn't have left most of the resources and secret manuals of the Blood Sword Sect to them after destroying the Blood Sword Sect.
Nor would he have destroyed the Liuyun Sect to help Ji Li rebuild Mingyue Valley because of her selfless rescue, refusing to keep Mingyue Valley's resources for himself.
Yan Xuefei provoked him several times and wanted to kill him for satisfaction; if Mu Jinyu had spared Yan Xuefei, he wouldn't be Mu Jinyu!
"Life?!"
Mu Jinyu spat out a word lightly, and as the words fell, both Yan Xuefei and He Jingfeng, even Yan Ran, all changed their expressions dramatically, their pupils shrunk sharply.
Yan Xuefei, as a royal descendant, had never encountered such a threat; the Yan Kingdom Royal Family till now hadn't provoked any major enemies.
But as long as they didn't commit unforgivable errors, like killing the core disciple of a major sect, usually no one would demand their life over a mere threat.
Yan Xuefei and He Jingfeng never imagined Mu Jinyu would dare behave so brazenly.
After all, although Yan Xuefei was reckless, she hadn't made any grievous mistakes; if she had killed Wen Rou or Jian Ruyan, then they'd have nothing to say and might indeed hand Yan Xuefei over to pay with her life under Mu Jinyu's strong pressure.
He Jingfeng quickly reacted, took several deep breaths to calm his turbulent emotions, then squinted his eyes at Mu Jinyu, hiding the monstrous killing intent in his pupils, and said in a low voice: "Mu Jinyu, do you know what you are saying?!"
"My master is Yan Chengyun, the top of the National Guard List, and the mother of the Sixth Princess, surname Xiao, is the current Empress of Yan Kingdom, and Empress Xiao's brother, named Xiao Wudao, he is ranked second on the National Guard List..."
"And you are only ranked third on the National Guard List, do you still want our lives now?"
He Jingfeng stared at Mu Jinyu heavily and said coldly.
"Oh?"
Mu Jinyu heard He Jingfeng's words and glanced at Yan Ran in surprise; Yan Ran laughed awkwardly, full of embarrassment.
Seeing Yan Ran like this, he knew He Jingfeng wasn't lying.
No wonder Yan Ran could never become Crown Prince, while Yan Hua, though inferior to Yan Ran in character, aptitude, and kindness, could be made Crown Prince because he had his uncle Xiao Wudao, ranked second on the National Guard List, supporting him.
With backing like that, no matter how good Yan Ran is, he can't overturn heaven.
Unless Yan Chengyun were his master and treated him like a son, otherwise, he and Yan Hua were entirely unqualified to compete!
When He Jingfeng saw Mu Jinyu showing a surprised expression, he thought Mu Jinyu was intimidated by them and was secretly relieved, preparing to offer Mu Jinyu some compensation to give him some face.
Mu Jinyu suddenly spoke, chuckling lightly: "The first and second on the National Guard List together are indeed formidable..."
He Jingfeng and Yan Xuefei heard Mu Jinyu's words, and the panic on their faces lessened, breathing a sigh of relief, showing pride.
Even Yan Ran thought Mu Jinyu was feeling intimidated, no longer aggressively confronting He Jingfeng.
He was relieved and yet somewhat disappointed.
Although he believed Mu Jinyu knew how to advance and retreat, avoiding a more intense conflict was indeed the best solution, but inside, he hoped Mu Jinyu would truly confront them, and better yet, angrily kill Yan Hua!
If that happened, he would become the new Crown Prince!
And the future King of Yan!
But now with Mu Jinyu yielding, Yan Hua would certainly remain safe, and his small hope would never be realized.
It was natural that he felt inevitable disappointment.
Even though he knew it wasn't right.
The spectators like Su Chengyi, seeing Mu Jinyu yielding like this, felt contempt for this guy.
Just now, facing them, he was arrogantly overbearing, claiming they weren't qualified to match him even with everyone combined.
But facing the first and second on the National Guard List, he backed down faster than anyone!
He Jingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, then raised a smile and said: "A wise choice, but Brother Mu, now at such a young age, ranks third on the National Guard List, surely your future achievements won't be far off from my master's..."
His words were meant to flatter Mu Jinyu more, so that Mu Jinyu wouldn't feel too humiliated by yielding, otherwise, if he were to act superior and oppress Mu Jinyu strongly, Mu Jinyu might feel angry and end up attacking fiercely, which wouldn't be good.
But who would have thought...
Before he finished, Mu Jinyu's face showed a smile that was both mocking and amused, continuing: "Rank one and rank two are indeed impressive, but are you two? Just a pair of juniors, yet you dare boast before me!"
He Jingfeng and Yan Xuefei's smiles instantly froze!
The Heaven's Pride from other nations watching, their playful eyes were filled with astonishment, seemingly not expecting Mu Jinyu to be so uncompromising!
"With just you two juniors, you dare threaten me; even if Yan Chengyun and Xiao Wudao were here face to face and wanted me to give them some respect, it would depend on my mood, and if I wasn't in the mood, you think I'd give them any respect?"
Then Mu Jinyu's eyes flashed with killing intent, his True Yuan surged, causing the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy to gather overwhelmingly, forming a giant palm ten feet long, and the Earth Vein Qi trembled below, appearing along with the giant palm, transforming into Profound Yellow Qi!
"What is this?!"
Su Chengyi and others saw Mu Jinyu's move, their playful gazes bursting with unfathomable fear.
"This is the 'Mixed Yuan Qi Capturing Hand' Hou Xin just used, how does he know it too?!"
"The 'Mixed Yuan Qi Capturing Hand' might not be the Barbarian Demon Sect's unique skill, but it's also an Earth Rank technique, easy not to leak, how did he learn it..."
"Could he just have learned it after seeing Hou Xin execute it?"
The Heaven's Pride of other nations were terrified beyond control!
While He Jingfeng and Yan Xuefei, seeing Mu Jinyu actually using techniques to attack them, were also incredibly shocked.
He Jingfeng shouted in anger: "Mu Jinyu, don't you dare!"
"What do I not dare!" Mu Jinyu sneered coldly.
With that, the Mixed Yuan Qi Great Capture Hand suddenly pressed down!
"Ha!"
"Break!!"
He Jingfeng knew he likely wasn't Mu Jinyu's match, facing the Mixed Yuan Qi Great Capture Hand, he felt like the sky was collapsing.
He decisively burned his essence blood, ready to flee here and seek his master Yan Chengyun!
Have his master intervene and demand an explanation from Mu Jinyu!
"Boom!!"
But how could human strength compare with the power of Heaven and Earth?
No matter He Jingfeng's myriad techniques and divine skills, in the end, they couldn't break this Mixed Yuan Qi Great Capture Hand.
They could only watch helplessly as the giant palm pressed down!
Crushing him and Yan Xuefei into a mess of flesh!!
