The girl is dead!
A girl with a notable background, a heavenly maiden at the Eighth Level of the Fanxu Realm, was unexpectedly killed with a single sword strike by a youngster at the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm...
Everyone present stared blankly at this scene, abandoning any thoughts of seizing the key from Mu Jinyu.
They all just wanted to leave the inn quickly, lest they get caught in the crossfire of the impending battle.
"That girl, her guard... it seems to be from the hidden Wu family of the Central Domain?"
"It really seems so... We're done for, this is big trouble now..."
At this moment, someone recognized the guards' identity from the family crest on their uniforms, who rushed to the girl's corpse.
A great hidden family from the Central Domain, the Wu family!
And a girl of such age, possessing such cultivation, protected by Hidden Guards, her identity was thus revealed.
She must be the only daughter of the current head of the Wu family, Wu Yumeng!
Therefore, they looked at Mu Jinyu with eyes full of pity.
In the Kunlun Ruins, the division of power is not by the territories of the Chu Kingdom, Yan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, etc., these kingdoms are not even regarded in their eyes since even the strongest national scholars of Yan or Zhao are only at the Mid-Stage of the Fuxuan Realm, how could they be taken seriously?
Only the Dayan Dynasty could make those great sects and noble families slightly wary.
In the Kunlun Ruins, territory is simply divided into the Central Domain and the East, West, South, and North Regions, completely ignoring these kingdoms.
And the Wu family, is a very powerful hidden family situated in the Central Domain of Kunlun Ruins.
It is said the modern head of the Wu family is in the Late Stage Hedao Realm, truly an unparalleled figure in Kunlun Ruins.
He has only one daughter, Wu Yumeng, and Wu Yumeng's biological mother died unexpectedly shortly after giving birth, so he is filled with guilt and love for his daughter, treating her with extreme care.
Yet now, Wu Yumeng has died under a young man's sword!
This is an earth-shattering incident!
The Wu family would never let this slide!
They presume that after killing Mu Jinyu, even those staying in the same inn wouldn't meet a good end!
Everyone felt regret and hatred at that moment.
Regretful for coming to this inn to exchange information with others!
Hatred for failing to recognize Wu Yumeng's identity at first sight.
But recognizing Wu Yumeng isn't really their fault.
After all, the daughter of the head of the Wu family, how can everyone in the world have seen her?
Similarly, from appearances, they couldn't recognize Mu Jinyu as the champion of this Hidden Dragon Conference.
And Wu Yumeng sneaked out to have fun on her own, she naturally wouldn't be swaggering around in attire bearing the Wu family crest.
Therefore, outsiders couldn't easily identify her as the young miss of the Wu family from looks and clothing.
But those Hidden Guards were different, they openly wore the Wu family crest, portraying Wu family's bloody valor and killing intent.
They emerged to protect Wu Yumeng's safety, and naturally, people recognized their identity immediately.
Unfortunately, they still couldn't save Wu Yumeng's life.
"Miss, Miss!!"
The Hidden Guards stood by Wu Yumeng's side, shouting desperately.
Trying to awaken Wu Yumeng's consciousness and save her life.
Unfortunately, even though they gave Wu Yumeng precious elixir to swallow, they couldn't save her life.
The girl's weak breath quickly faded away completely.
Her dim and lifeless eyes stared straight at Mu Jinyu, filled with regret and hatred!
The Hidden Guards were on the verge of madness; under their watch, even when facing a mighty one who merged paths, they could immediately show their Wu family identity, deterring the opponent from acting rashly.
But the miss only faced a Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm boy, and just a slight delay led to her tragic demise.
Their failure to protect her would definitely result in a death sentence upon their return!
"Die!"
At this moment, the Hidden Guards were frenzied; regardless of Mu Jinyu's identity or background, since he killed Wu Yumeng, his fate was sealed with death!
"Clang!!"
In a flash, they drew out long black spears, bloodthirsty spear tips did not reflect any cold glint, only darkness and deathly stillness!
"Ignorant!"
Mu Jinyu said lightly; this time he did not draw Jian Ruyan's sword but took out a rust-covered long bronze spear from the storage bag.
He couldn't recall from which subordinate's storage bag he got it from, but it served him well, so he kept it.
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
Facing the onslaught of five Ninth Layer of the Fanxu Realm Hidden Guards, forming a dreadful killing formation, their combined strength was formidable. Despite Mu Jinyu's previous feat of defeating Ji Bufan with one strike, he did not underestimate them.
Thus, Mu Jinyu did not remain seated in place but moved swiftly, standing in front of Jian Ruyan and Wen Rou, wielding his spear to slash!
A spear slash erupted; the brilliant spear light burst forth, instantly shattering the formation of five!
This forced the five Hidden Guards to pale, spitting red from the corners of their mouths, involuntarily staggering backward!
"How is this possible?"
The people in the inn witnessed this scene and were all petrified.
The Hidden Guards sent by the Wu family to protect Wu Yumeng, how could they be weaklings?
They had all climbed out from mountains of corpses, experienced countless battles, and having learned a profound battle formation, they could even hold off a newly entered Unity Realm stage mighty one for a while.
But facing Mu Jinyu, their wrathful attack was blown apart by one spear strike, forcing them into retreat!
"Clang!"
"Swoosh!"
Before anyone could marvel at Mu Jinyu's formidable prowess, he took yet another step forward, eyes cold, brimming with bone-chilling killing intent, with a wave of his hand, the spear tip shot out like a meteor tearing through the night sky, instantly piercing through a terrified Hidden Guard's forehead.
The first Hidden Guard, dead!
Then, with a turn of his hand, the tarnished bronze spear swiftly blocked two incoming dark spear strikes, and he punched out fiercely, blasting another Hidden Guard's head to pieces!
The second Hidden Guard, dead!
Subsequently, Mu Jinyu's right leg whipped backward, snapping a dark spear in two, while his back withstood the last dark spear's rapid thrust.
"This... what bronze skin iron bones?!"
"Could he be a descendent of the Dragon Elephant Sect?"
Witnessing the dark spear striking Mu Jinyu's back, everyone thought he was done for, clenching their fists nervously.
Yet, they found that the dark spear couldn't even puncture Mu Jinyu's skin let alone harm him!
They covered their mouths in shock!
"Bang!"
Mu Jinyu kicked and broke a dark spear, taking on the last dark spear with his back; his eyes grew colder. The leg he kicked out, after breaking the spear, continued its momentum, directly shattering his opponent's heart under their shocked gaze!
The third Hidden Guard, dead!
Then, Mu Jinyu turned around, delivering a right elbow strike, shattering the head of the fourth Hidden Guard who was sweating and frantically trying to pull the dark spear embedded in Mu Jinyu's back muscle.
The fourth Hidden Guard, dead!
At this time, the last remaining Hidden Guard, whose attack was thwarted by Mu Jinyu's bronze spear blocking the two dark spears, was utterly terrified.
He didn't hesitate to abandon the dark spear and attempted to flee out of the inn!
"Swoosh!"
A terrifying whistling sounded!
Mu Jinyu threw the bronze spear, which instantly pierced through his back!
"Clang!!"
The last Hidden Guard was nailed alive to the inn's doorstep by the bronze spear, blood splattering and contrasting with the pallor of the guests at the entrance.
"No..."
The Hidden Guard, still clinging to life, tried to reach out towards the entrance, hoping to crawl away from this horrifying place.
Just one more step, and he might have escaped the inn...
But alas, it was one step too short!
His vision blurred, then he died!
"Buzz!"
The last Hidden Guard thus met his end, nailed to the entrance by the bronze spear, its handle vibrated perpetually where it was lodged in the corpse.
