Mo Jinyu

Chapter 677: Gu Xiyan's Enlightenment!


Xu Changsheng and his two companions started to panic and became desperate.


Unfortunately, with Mu Jinyu and Jian Ruyan hovering beside, they had no chance to escape.


In the end, out of fear of Mu Jinyu and desperate to flee, their attacks became increasingly flawed. Lin Xiao was directly caught out by Mei Yinxue, who delivered a fatal blow!


Right after, Wen Rou also successfully dealt with Xu Changsheng, leaving only Gu Xiyan still entangled with Chen Tianlong!


Seeing this, Mu Jinyu didn't rush to finish off Chen Tianlong but let Gu Xiyan continue the fight, using it to temper her.


Actually, Gu Xiyan was quite clever, and she learned quite a bit from her exchanges with Chen Tianlong. But since she had never killed anyone before, she hesitated. Although there were several times when she could have finished off Chen Tianlong in one move, she missed those chances due to her hesitation.


"Sister Xixian, go for it!"


"Xiyan, just be ruthless and stop hesitating."


After Wen Rou and Mei Yinxue finished off their opponents, like Jian Ruyan, they stood next to Mu Jinyu, watching Gu Xiyan fight Chen Tianlong and couldn't help shouting out their encouragement.


"Don't shout randomly," Mu Jinyu advised. "If you distract her, she might make mistakes like her opponent, and fail to make a decision. If it really becomes necessary, you guys can step in and finish off her opponent."


"Alright, we understand,"


"Sorry, we didn't mean to..."


Wen Rou and Mei Yinxue were momentarily startled by Mu Jinyu's advice but then felt it made sense.


Wasn't it because they were under pressure and desperate to escape that Xu Changsheng and his companions made hasty, flawed moves which led to their downfall?


Although Gu Xiyan wasn't as desperate to escape, the fact that the other two had already finished their fights surely added pressure on her, making her eager to prove she was no less capable than them. A misstep in her technique could indeed make it impossible to defeat Chen Tianlong and even put her in danger!


Since they were there to back her up, Chen Tianlong had no chance of staging a deadly counterattack and escaping, so there was no need for Gu Xiyan to feel rushed or anxious.


It would be just as well if she slowly wore down Chen Tianlong.


Once she had shed blood this time, she would eventually get used to it.


Gu Xiyan, still in the midst of fighting with Chen Tianlong, indeed felt immense pressure and anxiety, wondering why she couldn't succeed as easily as Wen Rou and Mei Yinxue did.


After hearing the encouragement from Wen Rou and Mei Yinxue, she grew even more anxious, nearly making a mistake that would have allowed Chen Tianlong to escape and counterattack her.


Fortunately, she soon heard Mu Jinyu's advice to Wen Rou and Mei Yinxue, which helped her calm down.


She stopped worrying about whether she was inadequate or if she would disappoint Mu Jinyu, focusing instead on not hesitating anymore.


Eventually, her gaze grew colder as she calmly countered Chen Tianlong's moves without being in a hurry to kill him.


As the pressure on Chen Tianlong increased sharply, he finally went into a frenzied state, trying to trade injury for a chance to escape. Gu Xiyan seized this opportunity and delivered a fatal strike, killing Chen Tianlong!


"Bang!"


Chen Tianlong's hefty body crashed to the ground, eyes wide with rage, blood flowing from all orifices, truly dying with his eyes open.


"Huff... Hah..."


Gu Xiyan, breathing rapidly with her chest heaving, stood trembling on the spot, gazing blankly at Chen Tianlong's corpse. Deep in her eyes, fear and unease were still visible...


This was her first kill, but she felt it wasn't so bad after all.


It wasn't as bad as she had imagined; she did not feel a strong discomfort or the urge to vomit.


She didn't feel the urge to vomit nor did she feel any discomfort, she just felt that she had finally... killed someone.


Gu Xiyan found it very strange. Why did she have such a cold-blooded mindset?


Perhaps it was because she had seen too many scenes like this in times of darkness and chaos, some even more bloody and terrifying.


Moreover, she had always been engaged in cutthroat business competition. The market was like a battlefield, filled with endless dangers and hidden threats. Although it wasn't as physically brutal as the fight before her eyes, it was like a sailboat hitting the rocks with fierce undercurrents and a chilling will to kill!


One careless move would result in a complete destruction; not even bones would be left intact after being devoured whole!


After the Beauty Pill was launched, under their management, who knew how many beauty businesses went bankrupt, how many families were ruined and people died?


She didn't intend to kill anyone but when those companies went bankrupt and defaulted on massive debts, there were people with no way out, who ultimately chose death. Didn't all their sins still fall upon her head?


Upon further reflection, Gu Xiyan realized she was not as weak and kind as she had imagined herself to be; she was accustomed to life and death, and she was very cold-blooded too!


"Are you alright?"


Mu Jinyu walked over, patted Gu Xiyan's back, and asked with concern.


"I'm fine," Gu Xiyan replied, her complexion slightly pale due to the excessive loss of True Essence Power.


Turning to look at Mu Jinyu, having understood herself, her beautiful eyes were free from fear and unease. She smiled at Mu Jinyu, "Don't worry, I feel very good."


"Er, that's good then..."


Mu Jinyu originally thought that Gu Xiyan would be like Wen Rou, not necessarily vomiting after killing someone, but certainly feeling greatly discomforted. He didn't expect her to regain her composure so quickly.


This surprised him.


After taking a closer look at Gu Xiyan and seeing that she was genuinely calm, Mu Jinyu truly felt at ease.


He thought to himself that even though Wen Rou's aptitude and talent might be stronger than those of Gu Xiyan and Mei Yinxue, when it came to willpower and mental strength, Gu Xiyan and Mei Yinxue were a bit stronger.


Taking a light breath, Mu Jinyu said with a smile, "Good, you all take a rest for a while. I'll go check the Tai Sui Stone."


"Mm."


Gu Xiyan took a deep breath, nodded in agreement, and then sat down cross-legged on the ground to begin cultivating and recover her severely depleted True Essence Power!


Seeing this, Wen Rou and Mei Yinxue also let down their guard and began to cultivate for recovery.


Only Jian Ruyan, who had hardly participated in the fight, did not adjust her state as they did. Instead, she held her sword sheath, glanced at Mu Jinyu, then at Gu Xiyan and the rest, and finally decided to act as their protector.


Mu Jinyu wasn't concerned about this. Seeing that Gu Xiyan and the others were cultivating to recover their True Essence Power, he nodded gently at Jian Ruyan and walked towards the moss-covered Green Stone in the center of the Jade Emperor Peak plaza!


This Green Stone was the root of much contention, and he wanted to thoroughly inspect it. If it was not capable of retaliating against those in the Divine Realm to death, then fighting this battle tonight would have been somewhat in vain!


Approaching the forefront of the Tai Sui, Mu Jinyu's expression grew serious. He then raised his hand, attempting to strike out a thread of True Essence Power just reaching the strength of the First Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm!


"Shoo!"


This strand of True Essence Power, which could easily blow apart a huge tree, shot towards the Tai Sui. Rather than shattering the Green Stone, it disappeared without a trace...


Not right...


It was not without a trace!


Three seconds after Mu Jinyu's thread of True Essence Power blasted into the Tai Sui, his expression suddenly changed drastically!
