Mu Jinyu seemed not to notice the anger on everyone's faces, still wearing a carefree smile as he said,
"What's the matter, you don't dare? Afraid that all of you together won't be my match, it's too embarrassing, and afterwards you won't bear to face me anymore?"
Speaking, he paused for a moment, Mu Jinyu said helplessly: "It's alright, actually in my view, fighting one of you or fighting all twenty-eight of you, there's no difference, it's just a matter of a few slaps."
"Arrogant!"
A dark and robust man, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, flashed a look of rage in his eyes and could not help but curse out loud.
This person was the strongest of the Twenty-Eight Constellation Lords, the leader of the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, Jiaomu Star Lord!
He originally had the opportunity to become the Beidou Tian Quan, but because Shen Cangsheng, who was slightly stronger than him, had appeared, he defeated him and became the Beidou Tian Quan.
This caused him to spend an additional seven or eight years among the Twenty-Eight Constellations.
Now, Shen Cangsheng was engrossed in the power, no longer retaining the mentality he had during his harsh cultivation days at Kunlun Ruins, his actual strength had actually been surpassed by Jiaomu Star Lord.
But in the Dragon King Hall, positions were not determined by strength, and he had lost the chance to fight for the Beidou Tian Quan years ago; even though his strength had surpassed Shen Cangsheng's today, he still couldn't kick him out of the position of the Big Dipper Seven Stars!
Therefore, when Mu Jinyu said that defeating him could make one the new Tiance True Dragon, Jiaomu Star Lord had been greatly tempted and unwilling to let go of this opportunity.
Hearing Mu Jinyu's arrogant and boastful words now, he could no longer hold back. As soon as the words fell, he fiercely sprung into action.
Jiaomu Star Lord left several afterimages at his original location, moving at an unimaginably fast speed, like a hunting cheetah, pouncing toward Mu Jinyu.
Seeing this, Shen Cangsheng, standing to the side, unconsciously tightened his pupils.
"Kuixing Kick!"
Jiaomu Star Lord leaped into the air, kicking out and creating several leg shadows, unleashing a tremendously loud sonic boom, heading straight for Mu Jinyu's temple!
If it had been before Chen Sheng had tested Mu Jinyu's strength, he would have never dared to use his full power in a killing move against Mu Jinyu, fearing he might kill him, even if provoked by his words.
But since Chen Sheng had gauged Mu Jinyu's true strength to be above that of Shen Cangsheng, perhaps on par with him, he naturally held nothing back, to avoid the situation in which the slightest mistake could lead to a huge error when high-level experts contest!
The move "Kuixing Kick" by Jiaomu Star Lord was tremendously ferocious, making everyone couldn't help but cheer.
Just when everyone was pondering how Mu Jinyu would counter Jiaomu Star Lord's move,
they saw Mu Jinyu chuckle lightly, then suddenly raise his hand, catching Jiaomu Star Lord's calf, channeling energy in his grip, instantaneously neutralizing the fearsome power of the leg, then with a light flick, sent Jiaomu Star Lord flying.
"Bang!"
Jiaomu Star Lord was thrown to the ground by Mu Jinyu, and because of the heavy force, he was dazed and disoriented and couldn't regain his composure for a long while.
The remaining Twenty-Eight Star Lords, upon seeing this scene, immediately gasped in shock, their eyes filled with intense horror.
This was just too terrifying.
They could somewhat accept that Mu Jinyu was easily able to defeat Star General Niu Jin, assuming Mu Jinyu had some practice.
But Jiaomu Star Lord, a person who could compete with the Seven Great Star Generals, to also be defeated so effortlessly by Mu Jinyu?
This...
Just how strong was the new Dragon King?!
And he seemed to be only about seventeen or eighteen years old, while the youngest Hall Master in Dragon King Hall, Jian Ruyan of Yaoguang Hall, was already twenty-five years old.
At eighteen, he could compete with a heaven's pride like Jian Ruyan, how terrifying was that?
How could the Old Dragon King's family have such incredible root bone talent?!
Jiaomu Star Lord finally collected himself, shook his head a few times, then with eyes full of battle fire and fighting spirit looked at Mu Jinyu and roared, "All together!"
He was no longer thinking about competing for the position of Tiance True Dragon at this point. He knew that no one present was qualified to contest with Mu Jinyu for the Tiance True Dragon.
So he just wanted to show some spirit now, gather the power of the Twenty-Eight Star Lords, and knock down this New Dragon King to ensure the New Dragon King wouldn't look down on them.
When he was prepared to dismiss these Star Lords and replace them with his own trusted followers, it would also make him more wary, less likely to act recklessly!
"Drink!"
The other most powerful of the Twenty-Eight Constellation Lords, upon hearing Jiaomu Star Lord's words, also understood his intentions.
Subsequently, they suppressed the shame of bullying by outnumbering others and shouted loudly, stepping forward and charging towards Mu Jinyu.
The remaining Twenty-Eight Star Lords looked at each other and also saw the fire of battle ignited in their eyes.
They all understood that this fight was no longer just about contesting for the position of Tiance True Dragon, but to let the New Dragon King assess the strength of the Twenty-Eight Star Lords!
"Drink!"
Everyone shouted in anger together, even Liu Mei and Gao Yu, the confidants from Xiang Mantang, both took steps and pressed towards Mu Jinyu to attack!
In an instant, the training ground became chaotic!
The originally orderly formation became a crowd surging towards Mu Jinyu, creating an eye-catching scene resembling "welcoming the groom" and "forceful hero seizing the groom"!
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but curse softly, "Wow, I just casually said it and you all really went for it!"
After speaking, he shook his head and saw that the first few who started the charge were already closing in. He couldn't afford to be lazy anymore.
His gaze became serious and focused. When the Jiaomu Star Lord charged at him again, attempting the "Kuixing Kick" killing move, he too, at the same time, kicked towards the Jiaomu Star Lord!
"Bang!"
Jiaomu Star Lord was directly sent flying by Mu Jinyu again, as if kicking a punching bag, violently thrown out.
His teammates behind him didn't try to catch him, but instead bypassed him and continued their charge towards Mu Jinyu, causing him to fall heavily and eat dirt again!
With one kick sending the Jiaomu Star Lord flying, the remaining Star Lords closed in. Impatiently, Mu Jinyu stretched out his hand and struck at them!
"Smack!"
"Smack!!"
The chaotic training ground, stirred by the charge of the Twenty-Eight Star Lords, kicked up dust that obscured the scene, making it hard to see the battlefield.
In this dim training ground, crisp slapping sounds could be heard from time to time, making the logistics staff nearby who were watching feel quite peculiar.
Was it really Mu Jinyu beating them, or were they ganging up on Mu Jinyu?
Soon, as the dust settled, the answer also became clear.
There stood Mu Jinyu, still draped in his large cape, his posture elegantly unchanged and his black hair not the least bit disheveled.
It was as if he hadn't fought with the Twenty-Eight Star Lords at all.
Meanwhile, the Twenty-Eight Star Lords were each lying on the ground, continuously moaning with red cheeks—if one looked closely, those were palm prints!
Jiaomu Star Lord, who Mu Jinyu had sent flying for the third time and whose cheek also bore a red palm print, struggled to rise from the ground, appearing to still be preparing to attack Mu Jinyu, but his legs gave out, and he once again fell to one knee.
He looked up at the composed Mu Jinyu, his eyes immensely complex, and finally, with a hoarse voice, he asked:
"What kind of Martial Arts is this?!"
Mu Jinyu, hands clasped behind his back, gently rubbed his somewhat red palms, heard Jiaomu Star Lord's question, and smiled faintly, saying, "Are you asking about the move I used to send you flying?"
Jiaomu Star Lord nodded.
Mu Jinyu said, "This isn't any famous Martial Arts. It's a move I invented myself, which I call…"
Under Jiaomu Star Lord's curious gaze, Mu Jinyu slowly started and smiled, saying: "The Pavement Slapper!"
