"Swoosh!"
In an instant, a breathtakingly brilliant sword light suddenly appeared on the Ascending Dragon Platform. The cold gleam flickered, the sharpness was revealed, aimed straight at Mu Jinyu's neck, intending to behead him!
It was Chen Huaiyu, who had been lurking for a long time, making his move!
"Ha!"
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu had no choice but to give up pursuing Gu Rulong. After clashing hard with him, he swiftly retreated, using "Fleeting Light Shadow" to evade Chen Huaiyu's sword. His figure twisted mysteriously and disappeared into the light and shadow, vanishing from Chen Huaiyu's attack range!
"Slash!"
Only then did Chen Huaiyu's sword fully unleash its world-shaking sharpness!
In a fleeting moment, a sword arc blossomed, like a celestial flower in full bloom, or a venomous snake flicking its tongue, bursting forth from where Mu Jinyu originally stood.
As this sword burst out, the void trembled lightly, and dense cracks appeared, seemingly about to tear open a large gap at any moment.
Though Gu Rulong was not the main target of Chen Huaiyu's sword, he was an unfortunate bystander, and because his speed wasn't fast enough, he failed to escape the deadly range of this sword in time and cried out miserably.
Everyone saw that Gu Rulong's dragon-like, knotted body, with arms like forged iron, full of explosive power, had a large chunk of flesh sliced off by Chen Huaiyu's sword.
Gu Rulong's physical body was incredibly strong, comparable to a Flood Dragon, yet under Chen Huaiyu's lethal sword, his arm had a large piece cut away.
This was because Chen Huaiyu realized something was wrong and withdrew his hand in time, otherwise, the entire arm might have been lost.
Those watching couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement, their hearts filled with shock.
Chen Huaiyu's timing was precision itself, coupled with his supreme speed. If it had been them facing his surprise attack, apart from perhaps Ji Changxin, who might withstand it with force, the rest would have had to use life-saving secret techniques and suffer serious injuries!
"Smack!"
Just as everyone was shocked by Chen Huaiyu's amazing sword, Mu Jinyu's figure suddenly appeared behind him, and he kicked towards Chen Huaiyu's buttocks!
"Smack!!"
Chen Huaiyu, upon Mu Jinyu's sudden appearance, realized that Mu Jinyu was behind him. Shocked, he wanted to turn and block the attack.
However, since he had to forcibly withdraw his move to spare Gu Rulong's arm, his energy and blood surged backward, leaving him in a state of spent force momentarily. Normally, given a second to adjust, he could have resumed lurking, but now he was unable to do so.
Thus, Chen Huaiyu got kicked in the butt by Mu Jinyu, staggering forward.
Had he not had exceptional skills, he might have fallen flat on his face, looking quite foolish!
Moreover, Mu Jinyu's kick was powerful. If he had fallen in such a manner, he would not only have been bruised and battered but also possibly lost a few teeth!
However, just after Chen Huaiyu steadied himself, Mu Jinyu rushed over again, preparing to kick him off the Ascending Dragon Platform!
At this time, although Gu Rulong was angry that Chen Huaiyu's sword had sliced a large part of his arm flesh, he knew that this was not the moment for internal strife. Individually, they might not be Mu Jinyu's match!
So he roared and unleashed his domain!
Gravity Domain!
Enemies within this domain would endure ten times the normal gravity!
Those lacking power would be crushed into meat paste on the spot!
Even those close to Gu Rulong in strength would have their speed suppressed to the extreme.
Turning from being as swift as a rabbit, as fast as lightning, to moving at a snail's pace.
Allowing Gu Rulong to handle them at will!
Under normal circumstances, Gu Rulong was reluctant to use his Gravity Domain.
After all, once this domain was unleashed, opponents would be hard to find, and he preferred to fight with fists, to temper his physical body more effectively!
But under these circumstances, he couldn't be capricious; he wanted to win, even if he couldn't defeat Mu Jinyu openly and straightforwardly!
And Mu Jinyu, about to kick Chen Huaiyu off the platform, was instantly enveloped by the Gravity Domain.
He felt a heavy, oppressive force bearing down on him, causing his speed to suddenly plummet to the limit!
"Huff huff..."
Chen Huaiyu wasn't targeted by Gu Rulong's Gravity Domain. After noticing Gu Rulong's timely move, he took a few breaths, swiftly retreating and vanishing into thin air. His presence disappeared without a trace.
It was precisely Chen Huaiyu's domain, the Void Domain!
In this domain, he could hide within and could appear anywhere at will to strike down his opponents.
Earlier, his amazing sword strike almost succeeded in assassinating Mu Jinyu in such a manner!
Within this domain, he would be the strongest assassin in the world!
"Hehe..."
Mu Jinyu paid no mind to Chen Huaiyu's escape. Looking at the pale-faced Gu Rulong, who was enduring pain while using his Gravity Domain to save someone, he said, "Your domain is not bad, but in the next second, it will be mine..."
Gu Rulong hadn't caught the meaning of Mu Jinyu's words when his face suddenly changed. He felt a terrifying gravity, overwhelming and irresistible, suppress his Gravity Domain and even himself.
"How... how can you also..."
Gu Rulong exclaimed in disbelief.
This Gravity Domain could not be mastered by ordinary people. Without the cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture and some long-term secret techniques of the Dragon Elephant Sect, it was impossible to comprehend this domain!
But Mu Jinyu at this moment...
Actually exhibited the Gravity Domain, with the gravity even seemingly exceeding his tenfold magnification!
Possibly around fifteen-fold?!
Suddenly, Gu Rulong recalled his previous speculation that Mu Jinyu also cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture. Initially, he merely guessed, not daring to be certain.
But lightning flashed in his mind, and he was now clear that his speculation was correct. Mu Jinyu definitely cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture!
Sadly, Gu Rulong was indeed right. Mu Jinyu did cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture, but this Gravity Domain was not derived from it!
It was instead emulated from the Slaughter Domain of the Killing Character Secret Technique after witnessing Gu Rulong's performance!
It lacked complete essence!
If not, he wouldn't have merely increased the gravity by fifteen times!
At least thirty times would be considered just barely qualified!
After all, Mu Jinyu was being fully amplified by the Dragon Transformation Scripture, with an overall strengthening by three layers!
The domain naturally included this!
It means, without the Dragon Transformation Scripture's boost, he would only have twelve times gravity, slightly stronger than Gu Rulong's Gravity Domain.
But do remember, Mu Jinyu had originally reached the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm, and with the three-layer boost by the Dragon Transformation Scripture, he reached the Tenth Layer of the Fanxu Realm!
With such cultivation, his Gravity Domain was just marginally stronger than Gu Rulong's.
If they were both at the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm, Mu Jinyu's mimicked Gravity Domain would be inferior to Gu Rulong's!
However, Mu Jinyu didn't care about these details. His purpose in mimicking was simply to break Gu Rulong's suppression!
