"Boom!!"
The earth shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Even someone like Su Chengyi and the others, despite having the strength of the second or third layer of the Fanxu Realm, found themselves unstable under Mu Jinyu's palm's residual force, their bodies trembling and nearly falling!
They managed to keep each other standing without falling, but they appeared quite embarrassed!
As the dust settled, a massive palm print pit ten zhang in size and about four to five meters deep appeared in everyone's sight, leaving them stunned.
Mu Jinyu actually killed He Jingfeng and Yan Xuefei!
He… He was really too audacious!
Mu Jinyu didn't bother guessing what the others thought, clapped his hands lightly, looked at the giant pit with a gaze full of disdain, and sighed quietly, "Inexplicable!"
He felt that He Jingfeng's words just now were truly laughable.
His master was Yan Chengyun, ranked first on the National Guard List, Yan Xuefei's uncle was Xiao Wudao, ranked second, but they were them, they were them. Did they really think they could represent Yan Chengyun and Xiao Wudao and speak to him on equal terms?
He himself was ranked third on the National Guard List, with a status equal to Yan Chengyun and Xiao Wudao.
And what were they?
Just two juniors, what qualification did they have to threaten him, to ask him to give face to their elders? To spare their lives?!
If you compared the National Guard List to the Rich List, have you ever seen a grandson or disciple of a richest person provoke another unknown richest person and then arrogantly bring up their grandfather and master to threaten the opponent, wanting to even things out...
Would this richest person not mind at all and just let them go with a laugh?
Of course not!
It's just that merchants value profit and harmony, and even in a conflict, they wouldn't resort to killing like Mu Jinyu did!
But Mu Jinyu was not a businessman; he was a martial artist and a cultivator. When He Jingfeng and Yan Xuefei spoke arrogantly, eyed his pill formula, and tried to take his life, he would not spare them!
Not to mention that even if Yan Chengyun and Xiao Wudao learned about it, they might not go to such lengths for two juniors!
Even if they were really fond of these two and insisted on fighting to the death!
He was not afraid of them?!
Mu Jinyu also wanted to know what his strength had reached after learning the "Killing Character Secret Technique".
On the day he annihilated Zhou Yun from Blood Sword Sect, who momentarily reached the sixth layer of the Fanxu Realm, Mu Jinyu hadn't used his full strength.
So he wasn't sure whether he could fight against the late stage of the Fanxu Realm!
And it was said that Yan Chengyun was at the peak of the sixth layer of the Fanxu Realm, his strength would be stronger than Zhou Yun who temporarily reached the sixth layer with the power of an elixir, but Mu Jinyu didn't take him seriously!
He Jingfeng was just ignorant, thinking himself to be Yan Chengyun's disciple, accustomed to running amok in Yan Kingdom, collided with Mu Jinyu, yet refused to kneel and beg for mercy right away.
Leading him to his death!
He probably didn't realize this even upon dying, still couldn't believe Mu Jinyu dared to kill him.
Among those present, only Yan Ran probably guessed why He Jingfeng didn't kneel and beg for mercy immediately after colliding with Mu Jinyu, but instead tried to negotiate with him on equal terms.
Previously, he had also collided with someone ranked in the top five of the National Guard List, and at that time the other party had also considered killing He Jingfeng, but due to a bit of friendship with Yan Chengyun, spared He Jingfeng's life for Yan Chengyun's face.
It was likely because of this incident that he believed Yan Chengyun's face was very useful, that everyone would give his master face.
Unfortunately, others would give Yan Chengyun face due to knowing him and having friendship, but Mu Jinyu didn't know Yan Chengyun at all, so how could he give him face?
He Jingfeng didn't consider this, coupled with Mu Jinyu's younger age but higher ranking on the National Guard List, perhaps he wasn't convinced either, thinking he wasn't much worse, thus dared to be arrogant!
Ultimately leading to his life's downfall!
"Sigh..."
Yan Ran's face appeared slightly pale, looking at the meat paste in the palm print giant pit, sighing long and deeply.
Yan Xuefei, after all, was considered his sister, and now she died at Mu Jinyu's hands, he wasn't feeling too well.
However, Mu Jinyu was not someone he could provoke, plus Yan Xuefei had brought it upon herself, so he didn't dare and couldn't avenge her!
"Please prepare a room for us."
Mu Jinyu came back to his senses, looked up and said to the pale-faced Yan Ran.
"Ah?" Yan Ran responded quickly, nodding hurriedly, "Okay, okay..."
Then, Mu Jinyu ignored Su Chengyi and the others and moved into the royal mansion temporarily with Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan.
Originally, if he hadn't killed Yan Xuefei and He Jingfeng, he planned to visit Yan Ran, then leave Yan Kingdom.
But since he killed those two, if he left immediately, there's no guarantee that Yan Chengyun and Xiao Wudao wouldn't retaliate against Heavenly Sword Faction and Mingyue Valley!
So he decided to stay a few days, wait for the results!
Moreover, he was ready to intimidate Yan Kingdom properly before leaving, so that these people wouldn't dare to provoke Heavenly Sword Faction easily once he departed!
...
The news of the third-ranked Mu Jinyu on the National Guard List arriving at the King's City and forcefully killing He Jingfeng and Yan Xuefei spread quickly like a tornado throughout the Yan Kingdom Royal City and even the entire Yan Kingdom!
The first reaction for everyone hearing this news was disbelief, not believing anyone dared do such a thing.
After all, He Jingfeng was also a strong presence ranked tenth on the National Guard List; how could he not withstand a single palm and be slapped to death by the perpetrator?
Moreover, He Jingfeng's identity was the direct disciple of the first-ranked Yan Chengyun on the National Guard List; who would dare kill him within Yan Kingdom's borders?
And Yan Xuefei was the Six Princess of Yan Kingdom; aside from her noble royal identity, her uncle was Xiao Wudao ranked second, who would dare provoke her?
This was her basis for arrogance and insolence in the King's City!
How could someone dare to kill these two!
Not afraid of the first and second-ranked united coming to kill? Who could withstand them in Yan Kingdom then?
Yet, after confirmation and finding out the killer was Mu Jinyu, everyone fell silent.
Knowing it was this reckless Mu Jinyu, they somewhat understood why he dared to kill them!
Young and famous, full of youthful vigor, not considering Yan Chengyun and Xiao Wudao as threats was normal.
However, if he dared to do this, it's likely that there would soon be a battle between the top three of the National Guard List!
Some people anticipated this battle, wanting to know if Mu Jinyu's strength could challenge the top rank on the National Guard List.
Others worried about this battle, regardless of who won or lost, their fall and death were not good news for Yan Kingdom.
They hoped this battle wouldn't happen.
...
Meanwhile in the Crown Prince's Mansion.
When Yan Hua learned of this news, his face turned livid, suddenly smashing the wine cup he was holding!
"This guy, how could he dare kill my younger sister!"
