Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, along with the City Lord and Wu Zhiming, all watched with tense eyes as Mu Jinyu and the envoy from the Heavenly Palace engaged in a grand and poetic duel!
Under the gaze of countless onlookers.
Finally, Qinglian and the Black Knight, whose spear danced like a dragon's shadow, clashed with a resounding impact!
"Boom!!"
A loud explosion rang out.
Subsequently, the Black Knight, who seemed capable of slaughtering dragons and decimating Unity Realm experts with ease, had his Destruction God Spear obliterated in the confrontation with Qinglian!
It was as if the whirling Qinglian was a cutting machine, and his spear was merely a lettuce!
"Tear!!"
After destroying the spear, Qinglian did not lose momentum and swiftly wrapped around, twisting the Black Knight into a shadowy mass before it dispersed into smoke!
"Pfft!!"
As the Black Knight was annihilated, the youth from the Heavenly Palace spewed out a large mouthful of crimson blood!
His body swayed violently in the void, almost plummeting from the air!
"How... how is this possible?!"
The youth eventually managed to stabilize himself, barely preventing a fall from the sky!
He looked at the Green Emperor's shadow with disbelief, unable to fathom how Mu Jinyu achieved such a domain!
Moreover, why does Mu Jinyu have multiple domains?
Having multiple domains would be one thing, but how can he simultaneously unfold a Slaughter Domain and a Green Emperor Domain?
This was what baffled the youth the most!
It's not unheard of for people to comprehend multiple domains in the Kunlun Ruins, but it's rare, much like the sword intent in the Divinity Transformation Realm. Some people might not grasp even one sword intent by the late Divine Transformation Realm stage, while some prodigies comprehend multiple domains early on!
However, multiple domains can usually only be switched between during battle but cannot be simultaneously unleashed together!
He had never heard of anyone capable of such a feat!
Yet, this guy, who dared to challenge the might of the Heavenly Palace, managed it!
Moreover, under his feet, that Azure Dragon shadow also seemed to be a transformation of a domain!
Doesn't that mean he can unleash three domains at once?
This made the youth so envious he was nearly going mad!
"Very good!"
Mu Jinyu didn't care about the envy of the youth from the Heavenly Palace; he was delighted to see the youth's killing move neutralized by him!
Then, he prepared to go for it and finish off the guy!
"Hah!"
With a loud shout, Mu Jinyu once again stimulated his True Yuan, and instantly, the spinning Qinglian split apart, transforming into a blazing sun and a bright, cool moon.
Afterward, the sun and moon fell into the Green Emperor's hands, and he stepped forward towards the youth.
The sun and moon revolved in the Green Emperor's hands, and ultimately merged into a more blazing and terrifying wave of light, exuding unparalleled world-destroying power!
The sight made the youth from the Heavenly Palace's scalp tingle with numbness!
He knew that if he tried to face this move head-on, he would undoubtedly die!
What kind of freak is this?
The youth cursed in his heart, then raised his hand and flipped it over. Instantly, a brilliant golden bell appeared out of thin air, and as it grew larger in the wind, it became three meters in size, enveloping him!
"Rumble!!"
As soon as the golden bell enveloped the youth, the Green Emperor rushed forward, raised his hand, and pressed down. This terrifying killing move of a simultaneous sun and moon smashed into the surface of the golden bell!
"Dong!!"
"Dong!!!"
The clear bell chimes grew louder and louder, resonating from the battle area and rippling outward!
The sound waves seemed to carry a terrifying attack power. Everything along the way, whether or not inscribed with defensive prohibitions, collapsed into powder as the waves swept over them!
Fortunately, the City Lord knew this battle between immortals would definitely affect the people, and had ordered everyone to retreat long ago!
As a result, the aftermath of the two people's battle resulted only in damage to houses, with no loss of life!
"Retreat, retreat further!"
At this moment, the City Lord saw the destructive power of the bell chime sound waves, his face changed, realizing it was the treasured item the elder from the Heavenly Palace mentioned, brought to slay the Demon Phoenix!
Without hesitation, he shouted for everyone to retreat further, to leave Demon Slaying City!
Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, though worried about Mu Jinyu, knew he had clearly gained the upper hand in the earlier exchange. So seeing the surrounding environment about to be affected by the aftermath of the fight, they didn't hesitate too much and followed the City Lord in retreating further back!
"Dong!!"
On the battlefield, Mu Jinyu saw that the killing move of a simultaneous sun and moon, deployed by the Green Emperor, failed to harm the youth from the Heavenly Palace, and his brows furrowed.
He knew this was because his strength was still slightly lacking.
Although his cultivation temporarily reached the Fourth Layer of the Fanxu Realm with the aid of the True Dragon Art, the gap was still substantial compared to the opponent's Eighth Level of the Fanxu Realm!
Therefore, even with the simultaneous revelation of three ultimate domains, and the powers reaching their pinnacle, continuously breaking through the opponent's domain and intent moves, it was difficult to break through once the opponent brought out a treasured item!
"You think only you have treasured items?"
Seeing the aftermath of the simultaneous sun and moon disappear and the golden bell still perfectly intact, Mu Jinyu sneered.
Then, Mu Jinyu took out the Bi Fang Cauldron, letting it enlarge, and enclosed the golden bell within the cauldron like nesting dolls!
"Dong!"
Mu Jinyu covered the cauldron lid, wildly pouring True Yuan into the Bi Fang Cauldron, and ignited the Bi Fang Flame within!
At this moment, after devouring the Phoenix True Fire of the Demon Phoenix, the power of the Bi Fang Flame seemed to increase. Once ignited, the flames raged, causing the surrounding void of the Bi Fang Cauldron to twist wildly.
It seemed as if the next second, the void would burn down from the scorching temperature!
"Ah!!"
A miserable scream came from within the Bi Fang Cauldron instantly!
"How dare you!!"
"I am the Divine Envoy of the Heavenly Palace; you dare to refine me!"
"Release me now, and I can spare your life!"
"..."
Inside the Bi Fang Cauldron, the curses and scoldings of the youth continued, but as Mu Jinyu relentlessly poured True Yuan to provoke the Bi Fang Flame, he began to plead for mercy as he could no longer endure.
"Spare me, I won't dare oppose you again!"
"Don't kill me, I'm the Divine Envoy of the Heavenly Palace; if I die, you will face dire consequences!"
"I have a Remaining Shadow Life Token at the Heavenly Palace. If I die, a shadow will remain there. Once the Heavenly Palace knows the truth of my death, they will hunt you down, and you will have nowhere to escape. Do not further deceive yourself..."
Hearing this, Mu Jinyu furrowed his brows slightly, and his actions subconsciously paused.
A Remaining Shadow Life Token meant quite a bit of trouble indeed.
His appearance had already been memorized by all those in Demon Slaying City, and they knew he was Mu Jinyu from the Yan Kingdom. Unless he killed everyone in the city, the Heavenly Palace could learn his identity from the townsfolk and direct their wrath at the Heavenly Sword Faction.
This was quite a predicament.
If he had known this would happen, he should have disguised himself and hidden his identity from the beginning!
But how could he have known he would run into people from the Heavenly Palace here?
As the youth felt the temperature of the flames inside the Bi Fang Cauldron drop, he immediately knew that Mu Jinyu was hesitant and continued to persuade him: "Let me out, and I won't kill you. I won't report this to the Heavenly Palace either. If you don't trust me, I can swear an oath!"
"A curse oath?!"
Hearing the youth's words, Mu Jinyu's eyes lit up, and he paused his actions.
He wasn't interested in giving the youth a chance to survive with a curse oath.
Instead, the mention of a curse oath reminded him of a type of cursing technique that would let him control the life and death of the other, making him a slave, a servant!
