Mo Jinyu

Chapter 979: Li Zhexiong's Past! Fear Afterward!


That battle took place over sixty years ago.


The City Lord couldn't understand why, after all these years, the young man who once effortlessly killed a Seventh Layer Fanxu Realm opponent with the power of the Seventh Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, remained nameless and didn't dominate the Kunlun Ruins!


But having witnessed that scene himself, upon hearing that Mu Jinyu might have slaughtered the three Great Demon Kings equivalent to Seventh or Eighth Layer Fanxu Realm while at the Peak Third Layer Fanxu Realm, he was able to calmly accept it.


After all, compared to the despairing feat of killing a Late Stage Fanxu Realm opponent in an instant, Mu Jinyu was originally at the Third Layer, and he took half a quarter of an hour to slay the three Great Demon Kings, making it not that hard to accept.


At this point, Wu Zhiming still found it hard to accept, and seeing the City Lord remain silent, he asked puzzledly, "City Lord, who is that prodigy you encountered back then in Kunlun Ruins now?"


"Someone who could kill a Seventh Layer Fanxu Realm expert with Seventh Layer Divine Transformation Realm cultivation cannot possibly remain nameless by now, right? That battle must have been his defining moment, widespread and spoken of with great enthusiasm…"


The City Lord detected a hint of sarcasm in Wu Zhiming's words, yet understood his thoughts. Had he not seen it with his own eyes, he too wouldn't believe it even if someone explained.


With a soft sigh, the City Lord swung his sword and forced the Rabbit King to bleed profusely while saying, "I haven't heard of him now. Whether he is a big figure in the Kunlun Ruins, I'm not sure. If he remains nameless, maybe it's because he's low-key and unknown, or maybe he was too conspicuous and died young…"


"What's his name?" Wu Zhiming asked while attacking the Rabbit King with his Golden Domain.


The City Lord replied without hesitation, "Li Zhexiong!"


"I remember very clearly, that's his name!"


The City Lord stated with certainty.


"Li Zhexiong? What about him?"


Suddenly, an unexpected voice rang in their ears.


The City Lord and Wu Zhiming were startled.


After regaining their composure, they realized the speaker was Mu Jinyu!


But wasn't Mu Jinyu engaged with the Chasing Cloud Thunder Kirin?


They turned to see that the Chasing Cloud Thunder Kirin was also nowhere to be seen, just like the other three Great Demon Kings.


Wu Zhiming instinctively asked, "Where's the Chasing Cloud Thunder Kirin?"


"Dead!" Mu Jinyu replied calmly, "It did take some effort, given it has the ancient Qilin bloodline."


"Dead? You killed it?" Wu Zhiming was startled and frowned upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words.


He had only been helping the City Lord to besiege the Rabbit King for a few minutes, yet the ferocious Chasing Cloud Thunder Kirin was dead?


It sounded impossible!


Even after hearing Li Zhexiong's terrifying achievement of spanning one major realm and ten minor realms!


Mu Jinyu sighed and waved his hand, making the corpses of the Chasing Cloud Thunder Kirin, Storm Red Gold Rhinoceros, and the Tiger Teeth of Fatal Crack Gold Tiger float in midair!


"It really… died…"


Wu Zhiming was stunned when seeing the two corpses and two tiger teeth.


A sense of unprecedented despair and sourness flooded his heart!


Never had he felt so powerless, even upon hearing about the disciples of Hidden Sect or Ancient Clan emerging.


Yet now, seeing the Chasing Cloud Thunder Kirin he struggled against falling so quickly to Mu Jinyu!


A strong sense of defeat overwhelmed him, understanding he was only slightly better than a regular person!


Nothing worthy of being called a prodigy!


Mu Jinyu took advantage of Wu Zhiming and the City Lord's stupor to chase the escaping Rabbit King, quickly taking the Demon King's corpses and materials, and pursued it!


With little effort, the weakest Demon King, already heavily injured by Wu Zhiming and the City Lord's joint assault, was easily slaughtered and stored in a storage bag by Mu Jinyu!


After joyfully collecting the Rabbit King, Mu Jinyu looked back to find Wu Zhiming and the City Lord still stunned, frowned, and said, "Hey, why are you still standing around? The Demon Kings are dead but the beast tide isn't over, aren't you going to deal with it before Demon Slaying City falls?"


Prompted by Mu Jinyu, Wu Zhiming and the City Lord, despite their complex feelings, summoned their spirit and turned back to battle the beast tide ahead of Demon Slaying City!


Following by the City Lord's side, Mu Jinyu recalled their prior conversation and asked, "City Lord, what happened to Li Zhexiong?"


He was curious whether this Li Zhexiong was Ye Wushuang's senior, Li Zhexiong, and if it was him, why was the City Lord so impressed? Wasn't he just Seventh Layer Divine Transformation Realm?


If not, he was intrigued by another Li Zhexiong with the same name.


The City Lord gave Mu Jinyu a complex look and recounted his earlier words to Wu Zhiming.


"Really? There's such a thing?"


Upon hearing the City Lord's description, Mu Jinyu realized this Li Zhexiong might indeed be Ye Wushuang's senior!


The somewhat neurotic Li Zhexiong!


Unexpectedly, he remained in the Seventh Layer Divine Transformation Realm for many years? Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel·fiɾe·net



Yet, if the City Lord wasn't lying, Li Zhexiong's power seemed too terrifying, killing Fanxu Realm Seventh Layer from the Seventh Layer Divine Transformation Realm!


Which means…


If he had the mind, the Mountain Protection Array at Yinlong Mountain wouldn't stop him?


And Mu Jinyu had chased him for most of a day!


Thinking of this, Mu Jinyu broke into a cold sweat!


Worried about Gu Xiyan and Su Zijin far away at Yinlong Mountain.


This concern almost drove him to abandon the Hidden Dragon Conference and return to Yinlong Mountain to check on them.


However, Mu Jinyu quickly regained composure.


Li Zhexiong did act at that time but merely to rescue Ye Wushuang, not retaliating, indicating his peculiar nature wouldn't avenge Ye Wushuang!


Otherwise, he might not have waited until Mu Jinyu left Yinlong Mountain to deal with Dragon King Hall!


Back then, he wasn't a match for a single strike!


Realizing this, Mu Jinyu's sense of urgency dissipated somewhat.


But he decided, after the Hidden Dragon Conference ends, regardless of whether he could get a solution for Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan's body swap from the Heavenly Palace, he'd return to Yinlong Mountain first!


Additionally, to return a few messenger pigeons to identify the location, allowing communication with Gu Xiyan even from the Kunlun Ruins.


Overcome by wild thoughts, Mu Jinyu and the others soon approached the end of the beast tide!


"Roar!"


"Moo!"


"Scream!!"


Facing surrounding howls, Mu Jinyu regained focus, ceased idle thoughts, spread the Crimson Domain, and like a tiger descending a mountain, savagely reaped the lives of ferocious beasts!


Although Dragon King Hall should be safe now, the pressure from Li Zhexiong weighed heavily, Mu Jinyu needed to vent fervently!
