Mu Jinyu sensed Zhou Yun's Divine Sense retreating instantly and knew that it wouldn't be long before the opponent would come to kill them.
Moreover, being so brazenly murderous in the Heavenly Sword Faction, and combined with Li Daochen's pursuit of him...
Without Jian Ruyan and Wen Rou needing to explain, Mu Jinyu was clearly aware that the Blood Sword Sect had already discovered the changes in the Blood Essence Pool and had come to massacre the Heavenly Sword Faction.
The owner of that Divine Sense just now should be the Great Elder of the Blood Sword Sect, that old man with the strength of the Fourth Layer of the Fanxu Realm!
Even though he understood everything, Mu Jinyu remained unperturbed and calmly got up to treat Jian Ruyan's injuries.
The Forbidden Pill that Jian Ruyan had taken had too severe side effects, and almost the moment its effects disappeared, she directly fell from the Sixth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm back to the Fourth Layer, with her aura weak and wilting.
Her condition couldn't be compared to Wen Rou's.
Wen Rou had long ceased to stimulate the secret technique, only her complexion was a bit pale and her aura somewhat unstable, but it wasn't a major concern.
Mu Jinyu raised his hand to press against Jian Ruyan's back, allowing the lush Life Source Energy to continuously pour into Jian Ruyan's body, aiding her recovery.
Jian Ruyan's face, pale and bloodless, suddenly showed a lot of color, but she shook her head and struggled, saying, "Don't heal me now, that guy is coming soon, try to preserve your strength."
Earlier, when Zhou Yun's Divine Sense swept over, he did not consider them at all, naturally not hiding anything, so Jian Ruyan could also feel the terrifying power of Zhou Yun's Divine Sense.
She was also aware that once the opponent saw them, he would quickly come to fight Mu Jinyu!
Thus, she didn't want Mu Jinyu to treat her first, lest she drag Mu Jinyu down.
"Don't worry, it's just a bit of True Yuan, it won't affect me!"
Mu Jinyu felt even more guilt hearing Jian Ruyan's words and explained.
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura, imbued with murderous intent, rushed from the direction of Tianlan Peak toward them.
Mu Jinyu sensed this terrifying aura, his expression unflinching, as he continued to treat Jian Ruyan while speaking to Wen Rou, "Wen Rou, come behind me."
"Oh, alright..."
Wen Rou wore a worried expression. Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, she knew she couldn't help him later, so she quickly hid behind Mu Jinyu.
"Boom!!"
In an instant, Zhou Yun's figure descended nearby, creating a huge crater, with sand and stones splashing, smoke and dust filled the air.
"You have guts, dared not to flee!"
Zhou Yun saw Mu Jinyu still treating Jian Ruyan and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then struck with his palm, Elemental Qi transforming into a giant palm ten meters large, pressing down towards Mu Jinyu, while speaking coldly.
The reason he urgently came to kill was because he saw Mu Jinyu's cultivation had reached the Peak Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm.
Such strength, though not his match, was enough to tear open the Mountain Protection Array of the Heavenly Sword Faction, activating the Defensive Shield, and thereby leading people to escape.
He dare not let a monster genius like Mu Jinyu escape.
This kind of monster, if given time, would surely grow into an unimaginable realm, and return for revenge; the entire Blood Sword Sect would be powerless to stop him from bloodily slaughtering the Blood Sword Sect for the Heavenly Sword Faction's revenge!
So, he had to come quickly to intercept him.
However, Zhou Yun really did not expect Mu Jinyu to dare to be so arrogant, knowing he had come to kill, yet still daring to stay in place without leaving.
Did he really think his Peak Third Layer strength could rival him?
Or did he possibly want to achieve the kind of cross-realm victory that Dao Wuming did, defeating Ninth Layer strength with early entry into the Fanxu Realm?
Zhou Yun felt completely disdainful.
However, the scornful sneer at the corner of his lips froze on his face as he struck.
Upon Mu Jinyu snapping a finger, he shattered the Elemental Qi Giant Palm, which should have been able to crush ordinary Third Layer cultivators into pulp without even pausing his treatment of Jian Ruyan, seemingly giving up resistance and accepting death with her.
Yet, as the Elemental Qi Giant Palm was about to strike Mu Jinyu, Mu Jinyu indifferently extended his left hand, without even glancing at him, and with a casual finger thrust, the terrifying scene unfolded.
The formidable Elemental Qi giant palm was destroyed by Mu Jinyu's finger that seemed not to have used True Yuan power at all...
"How is this possible?!"
On-site, Zhou Yun was dumbfounded.
If Mu Jinyu had exerted his full strength to ultimately dispel this palm, or even used True Yuan, he could reluctantly accept this fact.
But Mu Jinyu didn't use any True Essence Power, and with a seemingly casual finger point, dispersed his Elemental Qi Giant Palm, this was unacceptable to him.
'This technique seems somewhat familiar...'
Zhou Yun, full of fear, vaguely recalled that Mu Jinyu's finger move somewhat resembled something he remembered from the Blood Sword Sect's records.
Then, he recalled Wu Dayong's recent revelation, where Mu Jinyu reportedly had cultivated a Forbidden Secret Technique of the Heavenly Sword Faction, leading to his mind being entrapped and incapacitated, hence he dared to have them monitored; Zhou Yun had a flash of insight in his mind and finally realized which Forbidden Secret Technique Mu Jinyu had practiced!
It's the Forbidden Secret Technique that historically, every time someone from the Heavenly Sword Faction learned a few moves from it, it could suppress the Three Sects so they couldn't rise!
'He actually learned this technique?!'
Originally confident he could crush Mu Jinyu, Zhou Yun, upon realizing this, was instantly scared witless!
With Mu Jinyu already at the Peak Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm and not far behind his strength, having learned this technique meant he would not be able to match Mu Jinyu at all!
"Escape!!"
Without hesitation, Zhou Yun turned to flee!
When he escapes to a safe place within the Heavenly Sword Faction's territory, he will then tear the Defensive Shield and escape back to the Blood Sword Sect!
Coincidentally, Mu Jinyu had just finished treating Jian Ruyan's injuries.
"Think you can escape?"
Although Mu Jinyu had reached the Peak Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm, he hadn't fully familiarized himself with his combat prowess, yet in the realm of Illusory Space, he had long mastered his combat power!
Thus, Zhou Yun, at the Fourth Layer of the Fanxu Realm, was utterly powerless in his eyes.
That's why he chose to treat Jian Ruyan while breaking Zhou Yun's Divine Skill as Zhou Yun attacked.
This wasn't arrogance; it was absolute confidence!
Seeing Zhou Yun attempt to flee, Mu Jinyu sneered, then extended his left hand towards him and suddenly clenched it!
"Whoosh!"
Instantly, wild Heaven and Earth Vital Energy converged, transforming into a giant hand tens of meters tall that grabbed Zhou Yun within its palm!
"Crack... crackle..."
The crisp sound of bones breaking resounded!
Trapped by the giant palm, Zhou Yun exerted all his strength yet couldn't break free; instead, his bones seemed about to be crushed, causing him immense pain.
"No, you can't kill me! I won't hold you accountable for stealing the Blood Essence Crystal from the Blood Essence Pool, just let me go!!"
