Chapter 625: Chapter 368: Chen Mu Takes Action_2

For a moment, the chaotic battles from every direction came to an abrupt halt. The struggle amongst the people had been for the sake of competing over rare treasures, and now that someone had succeeded, there was no point in senselessly fighting each other any longer. Instead, pairs of eyes all fell on Chen Mu with unwelcoming expressions.

“It is no surprise that he cultivates the Qiankun path, his concealment movement technique is indeed extraordinary…”

Xia Yu’r looked towards Chen Mu from afar, a trace of light flickering in her eyes. She had been keeping close watch on the direction of the three rare treasures the whole time, yet had not noticed how Chen Mu had approached them. But as Chen Mu was a practitioner of the Qiankun lineage, finding an opportunity amidst such chaos didn’t surprise her.

However, Xia Yu’r’s brows slightly furrowed as soon as she saw Chen Mu take the Sky Patching Stone without any intention of retreating, but instead continuing to reach for the Void Jade Crystal. It wasn’t displeasure at seeing the treasures taken by Chen Mu that caused her concern; it was that Chen Mu was being too greedy!

Taking advantage of everyone’s unpreparedness, arriving at the center, and taking one of the treasures was definitely seizing the opportunity.

If Chen Mu hadn’t been greedy and had left immediately after taking one piece, the chances of him getting away unscathed would have been quite high. After all, others would hesitate whether to chase after Chen Mu or continue vying for the remaining two treasures.

...

But Chen Mu wanting to take a second piece was simply too greedy. Under such close scrutiny, with enemies all around, every additional move meant increased danger, and the desire to take another could likely mean not being able to escape at all!

“Chen Mu…”

Liu Tong was not far away at this moment, observing the situation in the arena with shifting eyes.

He, too, had not noticed how Chen Mu had managed to get past everyone and be the first to approach the three treasures. Of the three, the Void Jade Crystal was undoubtedly the most precious.

With such a precious opportunity to reach them first, one should grab the Void Jade Crystal immediately and escape thousands of miles away without delay, or scatter the other two treasures to be fought over by the crowd, thus creating more chaos to make an escape.

However, it seemed that Chen Mu was unaware of the precious nature of the three treasures, and he even intended to take two… But the closest to Chen Mu, Jiang Changsheng, was still a good two or three miles away, unable to approach immediately, perhaps still leaving a chance!

Liu Tong’s nerves were taut for a moment.

But.

Almost at the moment when Chen Mu reached for the Void Jade Crystal, almost at the point of touching and holding it, an unexpected change occurred.

A cold and gray short blade suddenly emerged from the invisible void behind Chen Mu, piercing toward his heart.

There was almost no warning in the whole process, and the blade’s sudden appearance was utterly lifeless, the dull gray metal seemingly entwined with endless somber death energy, as if to escort one to the netherworld!

“The Wu Gui Blade, it’s Tian Yin!”

Some people’s expressions changed drastically, their pupils contracting violently.

Chen Mu wasn’t the only one who had silently passed by the crowd to approach the three treasures—it was also a Grandmaster from the Blood Hidden Pavilion. As one of the top four Grandmasters of Tian Yin in the Blood Hidden Pavilion in Cold North, he was a name dreaded by countless people!

Tian Yin had clearly arrived nearby long ago, yet remained undetected, quietly approaching the treasures. He then chose the moment when Chen Mu was taking the treasure—when his hand touched the Void Jade Crystal, and his guard was at its lowest—to launch his deadly attack!

This scene,

Mont startles many.

Because if they were in Chen Mu’s place at that moment, they would have to face a silent and traceless terror attack which would likely leave them either dead or gravely injured.

Pfft.

Tian Yin’s Wu Gui Blade just like that pierced into Chen Mu’s bulging robe.

Yet as the blade went in, the look in Tian Yin’s eyes didn’t show any hint of triumph that one would expect after a successful strike. Instead, it was filled with shock, as if he had encountered something unbelievable.

Swoosh!

Almost in the next instant, Tian Yin let go and retreated, even abandoning his Wu Gui Blade.

However, it was already too late. Chen Mu’s right hand had already grasped the Void Jade Crystal, and then with an indifferent look, he turned his head without bothering to take a detailed look at Tian Yin’s face. His left hand then casually dropped a palm strike down.

Bang!

Tian Yin was also exceedingly quick. As soon as he let go of the Wu Gui Blade, he raised both hands to meet and parry, a murky Yuan Gang True Essence converging The Power of Heaven and Earth, to block Chen Mu’s palm and escape with his life.

But Chen Mu’s palm, seemingly plain and devoid of any impressive might, fell like a crashing sky, effortlessly pressing through Tian Yin’s dark Yuan Gang True Essence, and smashed onto his Heavenly Spirit.

Crack.

Tian Yin’s actions came to an abrupt stop.

His expression and movements were immediately frozen on his face in that instant, and no one could see the final look beneath the mask—only to see Tian Yin fall straight down like a plummeting rod, embedding into the Wasteland earth below.

The clash between Chen Mu and Tian Yin was over in an instant, as quick as a flash, so fast that no one even saw what happened. They only saw Tian Yin being struck down by a single move from Chen Mu, plummeting from above into the deep pit of the Wasteland.

And the Wu Gui Blade that pierced Chen Mu’s robe at the back, at that moment, was silently flicked away with a light shake of his robe, landing in Chen Mu’s hand, casually held between his fingers.

“This…”

Many watching this unfold showed colors of shock.

The assassination attempt of Tian Yin from Blood Hidden Pavilion proved utterly ineffective, and instead, he himself had been retaliated by a single blow from Chen Mu, leaving his fate unknown!
