Mourn wedding alliances, apt for mourning rites.
These few words from Mu Jinyu very bluntly informed everyone that today was not an auspicious day for weddings but rather for holding funerals!
This was nothing short of a blatant provocation!
He actually dared to utter such outrageous statements during the engagement ceremony of the Su and Shen families, and what's more, he even brought along a thin wooden coffin!
Just what was he planning to do?
For whom was he arranging a funeral?
Was it for Shen Cangsheng, the main character of today's engagement, or for the Old Dragon King?!
The onlookers whispered to each other with eyes full of malice and anger when they looked at Mu Jinyu.
Shen Cangsheng stood on the platform above, his facial skin twitching slightly, and steam began to rise from his head.
He was furious to the point of explosion.
Although he never cared about today's engagement, and did not like Su Zijin, it was still his engagement banquet, and someone dared to cause trouble!
Where was he to put his face now?
If word got out, what qualifications would he have to serve as the Sub-hall Master of the Dragon King Hall, Beidou Tian Quan?!
Sitting below, feasting, two junior brothers of Shen Cangsheng caught sight of Su Zijin's undiminished elegance on the stage, one of them suddenly realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and turning his head, he saw the thin wooden coffin in the courtyard and Mu Jinyu standing with his arms behind him next to it, his face changed, knowing the situation was not right!
"Seeking death!"
The senior brother sitting beside him couldn't bear someone daring to cause trouble at the engagement banquet respected by Senior Brother Shen, and with a swish, he slapped the table, and his whole body pounced toward Mu Jinyu like a flying wild goose!
Seeing this, the junior brother hurriedly followed suit, joining forces to press and kill towards Mu Jinyu!
Shen Cangsheng, standing on the platform, saw his two junior brothers launch their hands at Mu Jinyu; his ashen face finally eased a lot, yet it was still hard to look at.
"Don't!"
Su Zijin, standing on the platform, saw someone about to harm Mu Jinyu and the thick joy in her eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by full concern, and she involuntarily cried out, intending to go down from the stage to block the moves for Mu Jinyu!
But she did not know any martial arts, and being on the stage at the moment, how could she possibly fly down to save someone?
She could only watch helplessly as Shen Cangsheng's two junior brothers made their move on Mu Jinyu!
"Ha!"
Mu Jinyu stood in the courtyard, seeing these two men in black suddenly launching an attack like synchronized bats swooping towards him, his eyes brimming with murderous intent, his hands surging with dark energy, clearly with the intent to kill.
He let out a low shout, and calmly raised his hands, clashing with both of their palms at the critical moment!
"Boom!"
The palms collided, Mu Jinyu stood his ground, unshaken, his face still composed.
Shen Cangsheng's two junior brothers, however, changed color dramatically, suddenly as pale as paper, and were sent flying backward in an instant, vomiting crimson blood nonstop while in mid-air, and only after crashing through several wine tables did they heavily fall to the ground!
"Pff!"
After hitting the ground, they lay there, unable to hold back their internal injuries any longer, and vomited a mouthful of thick blood.
"Hmm?!"
Shen Cangsheng, witnessing this scene, his expression instantly darkened.
And seeing Su Zijin's expression next to him, along with her earlier cry of concern for Mu Jinyu's well-being.
He finally understood why Su Zijin had suddenly sought to marry him.
Turns out she indeed had a ploy, with the sole purpose of luring this young man to come to her!
"This vile woman, to disregard her own face is one thing, but to dare to scheme against me, to make me a sacrificial lamb for your reunion, to cause me to lose all face on the day of engagement?!"
Thinking this way, Shen Cangsheng was filled with rage, and subsequently, with a palm strike ready, he prepared to give Su Zijin a slap she would regret for her calculative actions today!
However...
"Hmpf!"
Accompanied by a snort, a momentous and seemingly endless terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon Shen Cangsheng just as he was about to make his move, rendering him unable to budge!
With a "swoosh," Shen Cangsheng's whole body broke out in a cold sweat, soaking the shirt under his suit.
He felt indescribable fear in his heart.
At the same time, he knew who had exerted this pressure on him.
There was only one person present capable of this.
The father of Su Zijin.
The Old Dragon King!
That's right!
Even though Su Zijin's scheming disgusted him to the core, she always had that old codger standing behind her, and as long as he was alive, Shen Cangsheng knew it was impossible for him to lay a hand on Su Zijin.
"Cough, cough!"
The Old Dragon King, seated at a lower table, suddenly coughed softly a few times, and the pressure as heavy as Mount Tai instantly dissipated.
Shen Cangsheng, with his hand frozen mid-air, dared not continue his attack, realizing that if he tried to proceed with punishing Su Zijin, the old Dragon King who looked as if he was on his last legs could still explode with terrifying strength that would make his life worse than death!
Shen Cangsheng's face turned dark as water, no longer daring to strike Su Zijin. He then turned his gaze to the center of the room where Mu Jinyu stood, his eyes bursting with a murderous intent!
This guy, daring to cause trouble at his engagement party, made him lose all face, and even injured two of his junior brothers. Since he couldn't teach Su Zijin a lesson, he was determined to make him pay a bloody price!
"Hmpf!"
With this thought, Shen Cangsheng didn't hesitate. He stamped on the high platform, and like a hawk, he soared into the air, then swooped down like an eagle diving for its prey, aiming a kick at Mu Jinyu!
And below, the Old Dragon King, who had been ready to intervene and stop Shen Cangsheng from harming his grandson-in-law,
Recalled the information suggesting Mu Jinyu was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, as well as his swift defeat of the two Masters of Dark Energy.
The Old Dragon King, considering his plan to have Mu Jinyu take over the position of Tiance True Dragon of the Dragon King Hall, suppressed his urge to intervene, deciding to properly assess Mu Jinyu's skills.
That way, if Mu Jinyu could fight on par with Shen Cangsheng, he himself intended to appoint him as the Tiance True Dragon, and the other six Sub-hall Masters would definitely not dare to object or harbor dissent!
As the Old Dragon King pondered,
At the center of the room,
Shen Cangsheng had already pounced near Mu Jinyu, his legs so heavy as if they could split a truck in half were it in front of him.
Mu Jinyu, watching Shen Cangsheng's stance, hooked a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, then with one hand behind his back, and the other raised, went straight for Shen Cangsheng's ankle with a solid grip!
"Seeking death!"
Seeing this, Shen Cangsheng inwardly sneered, infuriated by Mu Jinyu's arrogance, and was determined to make him pay dearly!
However...
At the moment of contact between hand and leg!
Shen Cangsheng's face changed instantly, as he realized the tremendous Force Energy he had channeled into his legs dissipated upon touching Mu Jinyu's ankle!
Then!
Mu Jinyu, grasping his ankle, gave a fierce toss, and Shen Cangsheng plummeted to the ground like a tossed sheet, slamming into it to the extent of breaking the green bricks and forming a deep pit!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Mu Jinyu, holding Shen Cangsheng's ankle, swung and smashed him repeatedly against the ground, then lightly kicked the thin wooden coffin nearby, flipping open the lid.
Then, with a toss, he threw Shen Cangsheng, bloody and limp like a dead dog, into the coffin!
