Chapter 86: Kill, Kill, Kill

“Kill me first?”

As a Green Armor Guard, Xiao Shan was strong. His face turned cold, and he rushed forward with his sharp long blade. “Mu Feng, since you are also a direct descendant of Mu Manor, I won’t kill you. But today, I will capture you, tie you to a warhorse, and drag you back to Mu Manor. Let you see the consequence of being too arrogant!”

Clang…

Xiao Shan’s blade struck fiercely against the incoming Overlord Spear, his expression icy.

Mu Feng had recently gained fame, and the blood-red Blood Vines on his body looked unusual. But Xiao Shan thought, no matter how strong Mu Feng was, he couldn’t be his match. Mu Feng was just a poor scholar who had recently broken through his body’s limits and reached the Early Mortal Realm. Even with high talent and hard training, how powerful could he become in such a short time?

Xiao Shan was confident, aiming to achieve a great feat in front of Mu Qingyuan. But after that strike, he knew he was wrong, terribly wrong!

He expected Mu Feng’s Overlord Spear to either break in two or be knocked away. Instead, Mu Feng stood firm, only slowing his attack slightly. Xiao Shan’s hands went numb, feeling as if he had struck a massive mountain. His sharp blade nearly flew from his grasp.

“You want to tie me up? You don’t have that ability!”

Mu Feng’s expression remained blank. A gurgling sound came from within him as he thrust his spear again, giving his opponent no chance to breathe or dodge.

Clang…

Another crisp sound rang out.

In haste, Xiao Shan could only block horizontally with his blade. This time, he aimed not to attack but to defend, hoping to withstand Mu Feng’s assault before counterattacking.

Though rushed, he put all his strength into the block, not daring to be careless. Yet, he miscalculated again.

The recoil was even more terrifying. He staggered back several steps, half his body going numb and sore. The power behind Mu Feng’s spear was fearsome. It didn’t feel like a beginner’s strength, but that of a warrior who had trained for centuries at the Mortal Realm Peak. Each strike grew stronger, feeling unbeatable.

“Attack, you fools! What are you standing around for? Hurry up and kill the man and woman tied to the trees! Now!”

Xiao Shan’s face was tense as he barked orders at the panicked guards. They were to attack Jing Wushuang and Chu San, who were bound to trees, hoping to distract Mu Feng.

Clad in heavy green armor, Xiao Shan appeared unharmed and evenly matched with Mu Feng. But a closer look revealed his right hand trembling uncontrollably, even dripping blood that fell to the ground from his sleeve. After blocking Mu Feng’s spear, his entire arm bone nearly shattered from the terrifying force.

“Charge, all together, hurry!”

“Anyone who wants to live, attack together, kill…”

…

Under Xiao Shan’s command, the watching guards snapped to action. Without waiting for the terrified Mu Qingyuan’s order, they surged forward. They split into two groups: one rushed toward Jing Wushuang and Chu San, tied and helpless on the trees, and the other gritted their teeth and charged at Mu Feng, trying to join Xiao Shan in killing this formidable enemy!

None were fools. Mu Feng had burst in fiercely, killing without resistance. The North Flow Twin Ghosts hadn’t returned yet. If Xiao Shan, the strongest present, fell to Mu Feng, who could stop this slaughter god?

“A bunch of scum!”

Facing the group assault, Mu Feng showed no fear. His face turned cold, and a gurgling sound emerged from within him.

The next moment, the fierce Blood Vines on his body rose high, whistling out like bayonets. They pierced the guards’ bodies, constricting their chests and necks, draining their essence blood and Yang Energy.

Instantly, whether they were scum charging at Jing Wushuang and Chu San or those foolishly rushing at him, all turned into desiccated corpses. Only the exceptionally strong Xiao Shan managed to cut through over a dozen Blood Vines with his blade, barely protecting the bewildered Mu Qingyuan as they retreated to a corner.

Death Entanglement!

After comprehending this innate ability of the Millennium Tree Demon, Mu Feng had become a true slaughter god, unafraid of group attacks. Ordinary enemies fell in droves, and he grew stronger with each battle.

After plundering the guards’ blood essence and Yang Energy, his blood and energy surged, his killing intent intensifying. He roared, a scalding blood energy shooting skyward, Yang Energy churning. Immediately, all dark-preferring snakes, insects, and vile beings within ten miles felt threatened. They either fled in panic or buried themselves deep underground.

Not good!

Such strong killing intent!

Miles away, the North Flow Twin Ghosts, who were sprinting back, halted together, their expressions changing. They then energized their Spiritual Power, let out long cries, and sped up their return. Behind them, squads of elite guards followed with blades and swords.

Hearing the approaching cries of the North Flow Twin Ghosts, the tense Xiao Shan visibly cheered up. He slowly raised his sharp blade again. “Mu Feng, you killed dozens of Mu Manor guards in one move. How bold, how imposing! If the Punishment Hall finds out, you’re dead! It’s not too late to regret now. Just put down your spear, and we can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, you’re finished! The Punishment Hall won’t let you go, and the soon-to-arrive North Flow Twin Elders will tear you apart!”

Having experienced Mu Feng’s power, the usually arrogant Xiao Shan didn’t dare attack again. He tried to buy time, waiting for reinforcements. Sadly, despite his fierce tone, Mu Feng saw through his trick immediately.

“Kill!”

Without another word, Mu Feng roared and thrust his spear fiercely.

Empowered by the plundered guards’ strength, this strike was even sharper, fast as lightning. The sonic boom from the thrust alone was heart-stopping.

Seeing no way to dodge, Xiao Shan gritted his teeth and blocked horizontally again. After a crisp clang, the fierce Overlord Spear paused briefly but then shook off the blade and continued piercing forward. The heavy green armor was torn open, the sharp, cold spear tip plunging deep into his chest. With a ‘thud,’ it pierced out through his back!

The green heavy armor worn by Green Armor Guards was standard gear for Mu Manor’s elite, heavy and hard. Ordinary weapons couldn’t even leave a scratch. Unfortunately, against the sharp Overlord Spear, it was like paper.

The overconfident Xiao Shan couldn’t escape this time. His body was pierced through by Mu Feng’s spear. The icy spear tip even appeared suddenly before Mu Qingyuan’s face, just half an inch from his remaining eye. The bully, who only picked on the weak, shrieked in terror, wetting his pants and losing control.

“You schemed relentlessly, did every evil deed, but didn’t live long enough to climb high!”

Mu Feng shook his spear, flinging Xiao Shan’s corpse away. He coldly stepped forward, looking disdainfully at the limp Mu Qingyuan, who had collapsed weakly to the ground.
