Hou Zhiyuan and Song Wutian’s faces changed as they swallowed hard; their strength was weak, ants in front of Mu Chen. Mu Chen was so terrifying that he felt like death, like a demon, instilling an undeniable fear in them - a fear not of how many powerful figures were around, but of Mu Chen himself.
"Young Master, should we consider retreating?" At this moment, an elder turned to Hou Zhiyuan with a serious suggestion.
"Third Elder, you’re at the Mythical Realm; are you also suggesting retreat?" Hou Zhiyuan said with a change of expression.
"Instinct tells me, this man is not simple. Plus, facing us, he is so calm and confident. I’m afraid he really has the power to kill us," the old man said seriously, his vast experience affirming that Mu Chen was dangerous.
"I understand. But if we want to leave, it’s not certain that he would let us go," Hou Zhiyuan said, as he quickly sent a message to his clan, calling for stronger reinforcements urgently.
"Sending a message? Notifying the clan to bring stronger reinforcements?" Mu Chen sneered, inching closer to Hou Zhiyuan.
"Mu Chen, we’re willing to leave without causing you trouble, so please don’t make it hard on us," Hou Zhiyuan said with an unsightly face.
"Release you? Do you think that’s possible?" Mu Chen said with a smile, playing with two small blades.
"Kid, the battle hasn’t started yet, and it’s too early to tell who the deer will fall to, so don’t be too arrogant," the Third Elder said seriously.
"Who the deer will fall to, you think you’re worthy?"
"Young Master, it looks man is set on a major battle. Stand behind us shortly, Young Master, we’ll handle this person," They said.
"Understood." Hou Zhiyuan’s expression darkened as he immediately retreated.
"People from the Hou Family, right?" A few individuals beside Song Wutian said, looking at the group from the Hou Family.
"Who are you?" the Third Elder curiously asked.
"People from the Gongsun family."
"You’re one of the four ancient martial arts families of Tianhai City, the Gongsun family?
"Correct. We are just like you, an old martial arts household."
"So it’s you. We thought you were Assassins! But do you have confidence in killing this person?"
"With one of us at the Mythical Realm, three at the Legendary Realm, and adding you, it’s not impossible," the Mythical Expert said seriously.
"This person is at the Legendary Realm, but if he can possibly stand up to one, or even two Mythical opponents, with so many legends on our side, we do stand a chance." The Third Elder’s killing intent rose as he spoke.
"Have you said enough? Is it time to meet your deaths?" Mu Chen said impatiently.
"Kid, today is your day to die," The crowd said as they immediately surrounded Mu Chen, murderous intent terrifying.
"Today, I’ll show you so-called martial arts families how pitiful and lamentable it is to have such a narrow view of the world," Mu Chen declared, and immediately took action.
Mu Chen’s targeting was straightforward, directly going for those at the Legendary Realm, hunting them one by one, gradually making these people understand the true fear of death.
"He can’t kill so many on his own; let’s all strike together," the crowd yelled, furiously attacking Mu Chen.
"For the strong, no matter how many weaklings there are, they’re all trash. So, taking out the trash for me is as simple as chopping vegetables," Mu Chen said, blinking out of sight, using his incredible speed to slaughter the crowd.
"No good, Legends, retreat!" The two Mythical Experts witnessing Mu Chen’s terrifying speed, which surpassed theirs, had no opportunity to block him and naturally didn’t want the others to die in vain.
"Too late, Divine Dragon Blade’s first strike, Dragon Slayer, kill!"
Mu Chen appeared behind three Legendary experts from the Gongsun family, the terrifying Sword Energy already heading their way.
"Block it!" In the twinkling of an eye, the three at the Legendary Realm gathered their power, martial arts and all, to thwart Mu Chen’s Sword Energy.
However, alas, legends were too weak in the face of Mu Chen; they didn’t have a chance to resist and collapsed dead, eyes wide open.
"Bad news, the Mythical Realm cannot stop him, we need to retreat fast," seven or eight from the Hou Family at the Legendary Realm shouted, fleeing in panic.
"Running away, without even fighting back, then you’re even easier to kill," Mu Chen scoffed, blinking once more and disappearing from sight.
"Young Master," the Third Elder’s face drastically changed, no longer concerned with Mu Chen. Mu Chen was too fast, giving them no chance at all, and if he intended to kill Hou Zhiyuan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Without a word, the Mythical Expert from the Gongsun family blinked and vanished too, fleeing, not daring to continue the fight with Mu Chen.
In those three seconds, as Mu Chen passed by seven or eight people, their necks were swiftly sliced without resistance, and they collapsed dead, blood gushing out.
"In the face of absolute strength, too weak," Mu Chen sneered.
When Mu Chen was at the Transcendent Realm, he had the power to fight at the Legendary level; at the Bone Ash Realm, he’d become invincible among Legends. Now, at the Legendary Realm, unless facing a Mythical Expert in the Middle Stage, they would still fall prey to Mu Chen.
After killing these people, Mu Chen did not chase after the Mythical Gongsun family member, for someone was already waiting for him.
Thinking of Xue San, Mu Chen knew that this Mythical Expert was already as good as dead.
Sure enough, as the Gongsun family powerhouse fled into the forest, a silhouette stealthily approached, a blood-colored long saber already in hand.
"Who’s there?" The Gongsun family member, sensing a formidable presence, exclaimed with a drastic change in expression.
"Dare to assassinate even the boss? Die!"
As the hoarse voice fell, the blood-colored long saber swung in an arc, and the silhouette sped toward the Gongsun family expert.
"Fierce Tiger Thunder Emperor Seal."
The Gongsun family member roared, summoning a terrible tiger seal with thunder flashing, immensely terrifying.
"Blood Blade Dark Night Slash."
In an instant, the two powers collided, but the next moment, the face of the Gongsun family expert changed drastically. Xue San’s dreadful Blood Saber directly shattered the Fierce Tiger Thunder Emperor Seal and split the Gongsun expert’s body in two, killing him thoroughly.
"Even Mythical Realm dares to make a fuss, little do they know they’re only trash in the eyes of others," Xue San said with disdain, disappearing immediately.
"Something’s not right, who’s there?" Xue San was about to leave when he sensed someone slowly approaching, and without a second word, pursued to attack.
"Who’s there?" Inside the forest, the one who had just approached suddenly spoke, his expression changing as he felt an oppressive presence closing in.
"And who might you be, sneaking around here and for what purpose?" Xue San appeared in the blink of an eye, speaking nonchalantly.
"I have nothing to say, and since we are strangers, I see no need to inform you," the person replied.
"Coming here to investigate, certainly for the boss, sneaking around; did you really think you could deceive everyone?" Xue San sneered as his murderous intent surged.
