"Buzzing!!"
As the golden light of the four-clawed Jiao Dragon atop Mu Jinyu's head blazed to the extreme.
The loach Dragon Soul above Ye Wushuang, who had just rested for a short while, suddenly glowed with a faint golden hue as well!
"It's him!"
Upon seeing Ye Wushuang's Dragon Soul emit light, indicating he was about to enter the stage to battle Mu Jinyu, Gu Rulong and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, a flood of anticipation surged in their hearts.
They all wanted to see, after absorbing a vast amount of Earth Pulse Dragon Qi, how strong was Mu Jinyu, whose cultivation had been elevated from the Sixth Layer of the Fanxu Realm to the Seventh Layer?
Could he easily defeat Ye Wushuang?
If not, wouldn't that mean Mu Jinyu's combat power was still a bit overly inflated?
They also had the chance to divide and devour his Flood Dragon Soul?!
To vie for the true throne of the True Dragon!
"Hahaha..."
Standing on the Secluded Dragon Platform, Mu Jinyu burst into loud laughter upon seeing the loach Dragon Soul above Ye Wushuang's head also emitting a firefly-like glow.
"Very good, I never thought it would be so soon that you'd die by my hand!"
Mu Jinyu's eyes narrowed, a murderous intent exploded unrestrained, shooting out like two sharp swords, chilling the hearts of those who watched!
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Gu Rulong and the others were even more shocked!
Could it be...
Is there enmity between Mu Jinyu and Ye Wushuang?
Otherwise, why would he exhibit such earth-shattering murderous intent and resentment towards Ye Wushuang?
At this moment, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, a twisted yet grinning expression full of murderous intent appeared on Ye Wushuang's face, "Indeed very lucky, I originally thought I'd have to wait a while longer to avenge the destruction of my Dantian by you!"
"Never thought you would also come to participate in the Hidden Dragon Conference, allowing me to trample your corpse underfoot and embark on my invincible path before the world!"
The crowd's expressions grew increasingly vibrant upon hearing Ye Wushuang's words.
So these two actually knew each other!
The meaning behind Ye Wushuang's words suggested that his cultivation of the "Swallowing Yuan Sword Body" was obviously out of necessity, if not for Mu Jinyu crippling his Dantian, he might not have switched to cultivating the "Swallowing Yuan Sword Body"!
Now, with some success in the Swallowing Yuan Sword Body, perhaps in his heart, alongside resentment towards Mu Jinyu, there was also a sense of gratitude for being pushed to this stage by him!
"Boom!!"
No more words were exchanged, both showcased their forms and stood upon the Ascending Dragon Platform!
As they began waiting for the Dragon Qi to disperse, so they could clash.
Mu Jinyu, hands clasped behind his back, glanced at Gu Rulong, then turned to look at the others on the Secluded Dragon Platform, saying:
"I know, you all have always been unconvinced by me, believing I shouldn't have reached the Sixth Layer of the Fanxu Realm at eighteen, oh no, I'm now already in the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm..."
The crowd fell silent upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words.
In their hearts, there was both envy and jealousy towards Mu Jinyu!
Mu Jinyu continued, "You all probably think that I shouldn't monopolize the eight bushels of Dragon Qi alone, believing I'm not qualified, but since my debut, I have rarely met enemies, and I've never tasted defeat. I aim to walk an upright and righteous invincible path, from now on, whoever among you crosses paths with me, I will make sure you lose convincingly!"
The crowd's anger surged at Mu Jinyu's words.
Even Ji Changxin felt Mu Jinyu was too arrogant and conceited.
Mu Jinyu laughed and said, "I know, everyone has their own specialties, some excel in pure physical strength, some in extreme divine speed, some in True Essence Condensation, some in Divine Soul Attack, some excel in Intent Domain, and some in Domain..."
As he mentioned each specialty, his gaze would fall upon someone, from Gu Rulong to Xuanyuan Qianqiu, then to Li Zhexiong and Ji Changxin!
Filled with confidence, Mu Jinyu continued, "Next, I will defeat each of you in your own strongest field...making you lose convincingly!"
The crowd's anger gradually dissipated, left speechless in astonishment.
No one had ever dared to claim they could be invincible across all domains!
Even Ji Changxin, almost unanimously considered the top of his generation, would only dare to claim unmatched in terms of True Essence Condensation Degree and Domain.
Yet, for pure physical strength or Divine Soul Power, he wouldn't dare claim no one was stronger!
But today, Mu Jinyu dared utter such arrogant words, wanting to honorably defeat them in each of their strongest fields, making them lose convincingly!
What supreme confidence and dazzling style!
Was this mere overconfidence, or did he truly have something to rely on?
No one knew for sure.
But they all noticed, as Mu Jinyu's words spilled out, his aura became overwhelmingly terrifying.
If previously, Mu Jinyu's aura wasn't so sharp, not revealing his true colors, like a Flood Dragon lingering in the clouds, only to be glimpsed when the mist clears!
Now, Mu Jinyu was a Hidden Dragon rising from the abyss, breaking through the clouds and mist, openly displaying his scales and intended to show his sharp claws and fangs to the world.
'He intends to step on us to establish his invincible belief!'
Ji Changxin trembled and shouted inwardly.
Yet, though he understood Mu Jinyu's plan, Ji Changxin was filled with bitter helplessness.
Because he couldn't do the same with Mu Jinyu, for he didn't believe he could truly defeat everyone honorably in every domain.
Like Gu Rulong, the heir of the Dragon Elephant Sect, he had no confidence in competing in pure physical strength...
At this moment, an unexpected anticipation arose in Ji Changxin's heart.
He was eager to witness the sight of Mu Jinyu truly defeating these unparalleled Heaven's Pride, making them lose convincingly!
"Rumble!"
By now, the isolating Dragon Qi encapsulating the Ascending Dragon Platform was gradually dispersing, indicating that Mu Jinyu could soon engage Ye Wushuang in combat!
Mu Jinyu withdrew his gaze from the crowd, turning back to the iron-faced Ye Wushuang, and sneered, "And now, you're the first one I'll deal with!"
"Your forte is probably Sword Dao, isn't it?"
"Then I'll crush you in Sword Dao, letting you fall into the dust, and make sure in your next life, you won't dare to conceive the idea of learning the sword again!"
"Boom!"
With those words, the barrier of Dragon Qi conveniently dissipated.
"Boastful words!"
Ye Wushuang's face was iron blue with rage, letting out a shout as he brandished his sword to strike at Mu Jinyu!
"Sword come!"
Mu Jinyu gave a light shout, forming a sword technique with his hands as a green light surged.
"Boom boom boom!!"
In an instant, enormous wood attribute Sword Qi, akin to a Heaven-reaching Building Wood, descended from the sky, wielding colossal power as it pressed down towards Ye Wushuang!
This was Mu Jinyu's long-unseen Top Yellow Grade Divine Skill, Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi!
However, this wasn't the genuine Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi!
After all, the caliber of Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi was merely Yellow Grade, not fit for the battlefield of the Fanxu Realm.
This was an enhanced version of the "Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi" derived by Mu Jinyu using the "Killing Character Secret Technique"!
