Just as Mu Jinyu was speculating whether the Zhuo Yue being pursued behind him was the third on the Huaxia Divine Rankings…
A sudden, intense sound of breaking through the air came from behind.
A young man with a bare torso, his body as strong as a dragon, dashed past their carriage without any pause.
He showed no intention of using their presence to block the pursuit from behind.
Mu Jinyu leaned against the carriage, extending his Divine Sense, and upon seeing the young man's appearance, his expression slightly shifted.
The person being pursued was indeed the former third-ranked on the Divine Rankings.
Iron Fist Zhuo Yue.
His cultivation had reached the Sixth Layer of the Fanxu Realm.
Judging by cultivation alone, he seemed to be faring better in the Kunlun Ruins than the first and second on the Divine Rankings, Li Zhexiong and Yu Shenfeng.
"An old acquaintance who didn't drag others into his troubles. I wonder why he's being pursued; perhaps I should inquire and see if it can be resolved."
Mu Jinyu murmured and then prepared to step down to ask the pursuers why they were chasing Zhuo Yue.
Did Zhuo Yue cause some major trouble, or did he randomly find a treasure and they wanted to kill him to seize it?
However…
Just as Mu Jinyu had the intention to inquire, but before he could act.
He saw part of the pursuers continue to chase Zhuo Yue relentlessly, while another part stopped, murder in their eyes, and charged at the carriage, swords brandished!
"Kill!!"
"Those in my way will die!"
Listening to their shouts for slaughter, Mu Jinyu's expression instantly darkened.
Not even sparing bystanders, it's apparent that their intent to kill and seize is far greater than the possibility of Zhuo Yue causing trouble!
They intend to kill to silence, to continue covering their tracks!
"Die!"
In a swift thought, Mu Jinyu uttered a gentle shout, and the pale green Green Emperor Domain unfolded instantly, enveloping all of these people!
"Ah!"
Many let out screams of pain, but most couldn't even make a sound; their vitality was stripped away, meeting an untimely death!
This group dared to chase the Sixth Layer Fanxu Realm Zhuo Yue, so naturally, they weren't much weaker than him; almost every one of them was at the Fifth Layer of the Fanxu Realm!
Among them were also a few at the Sixth Layer!
Equivalent to Zhuo Yue!
With such depths, encountering an unremarkable carriage on the roadside, they wanted to kill to silence without wasting time to probe, which was quite normal.
After all, who would expect a strong one at the Late Stage of the Fanxu Realm to leisurely ride a carriage to enjoy the scenery on the way?
That's what led to their tragic deaths here.
Although most died without a trace or sound, some did let out screams that even those at the front chasing Zhuo Yue heard.
Initially, they assumed the people inside the carriage were slaughtered by those behind, ready to ignore it.
But some recognized voices from behind, familiar with their cries, which caused a few to have a change of face.
They suddenly stopped in their tracks, frowning as they looked back.
Only to witness an unbelievable scene.
The pursuers, with cultivation between the Fifth and Sixth Layers of Fanxu Realm, fell like paper figurines, toppled by a gentle breeze emanating from the carriage.
They could see at a glance that all these people were dead.
None survived.
That was no ordinary breeze; it was a Domain!
A powerful and special Domain!
Seeing this, the few left appeared more solemn, a trace of fear and unease flashing deep in their eyes.
They realized that perhaps they had unwittingly crossed paths with an immovable force.
"Senior, we..."
They opened their mouths, preparing to explain something.
"Haha, that fool actually came running back!"
"Kill!"
"Don't let him get away again!"
At this time, those relentlessly pursuing Zhuo Yue did not realize the anomaly behind, shouting excitedly.
Inside the carriage, Mu Jinyu naturally saw the reason for their excitement.
Zhuo Yue, who had previously put some distance between them, suddenly came running back.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu thought to himself, Zhuo Yue's desperate fleeing, there's no reason for him to return without cause.
So…
He must have noticed the trouble involving them, and thus returned to fight a path for escape?
That seemed the only explanation.
The reality wasn't much different from what Mu Jinyu speculated.
While being chased, Zhuo Yue, flying forward without a glance back, had naturally noticed the leisurely carriage on the roadside.
From inside the carriage, he sensed an obscure aura, feeling there might be a strong presence inside, though he wasn't sure…
Truthfully, he did consider using them to block the pursuers behind him.
But finally, he thought, if they weren't unbeatable strong, wouldn't it implicate innocent people?
That's why he rushed past the carriage, without stopping.
But soon after, because of his uncertainty regarding the carriage, he paid more attention to the situation behind him and shockingly discovered that the pursuers had indeed targeted the carriage!
This meant during his escape, many passersby were likely slaughtered by these pursers!
This was something he could not accept at all, hence he turned back to aid them!
"Not bad."
Mu Jinyu complimented, and then the Green Emperor Domain expanded, instantly enveloping those who had stopped to explain, taking their lives away!
Following this, the Green Emperor Domain, like the shadowy robe of death, continued silently forward, sweeping towards the excited pursuers waiting for Zhuo Yue's self-destruction!
At this moment, the group ahead finally had those with sharp Divine Sense notice something amiss.
It was too quiet behind.
And Zhuo Yue's expression as he charged forward was so strange, shocked yet joyous?
These people instinctively looked back, seeing a stream of green light slowly rushing towards them.
Like a raging sea wave, just as they were about to cry out in alarm, the wave engulfed them.
"Hiss hiss!!"
Nearly thirty Mid-Stage Fanxu Realm pursuers, thus all met their end!
In front, Zhuo Yue unconsciously halted, his eyes gazing dazedly at the scene.
He truly did not expect the presence inside the carriage to be so powerful, removing the formidable pursuers who had him fleeing desperately, as if pulling weeds.
"Third on the Divine Rankings, Iron Fist Zhuo Yue?"
In his stupefaction, Zhuo Yue saw the carriage curtain lifting, and a handsome, tall youth emerged, looking up at him with a smile.
Hearing this familiar yet utterly unfamiliar title, Zhuo Yue was momentarily drawn back to the days of contending with various Divine Realm powerhouses in Huaxia!
Figures like Li Zhexiong, Yu Shenfeng, Ye Wushuang, and others flashed through Zhuo Yue's mind silently.
"Who are you?"
After a while, Zhuo Yue came back to his senses, looking at Mu Jinyu with surprise and doubt, speaking uncertainly.
