“Haha, isn’t this just nonsense? Once my Supreme arrives, I consider myself unmatched, and you, you’re merely at the Transformation Realm. To me, crushing you is like crushing an ant.” The Young Lord of the Nether Palace laughed confidently.
His confidence stemmed from his strength. As the Young Lord of the Nether Palace, his power was indeed extraordinary. Even among cultivators of the same realm, few could rival him; he was a top-tier existence.
Moreover, there was still a realm gap between him and Lin Yun.
“If that’s what you think, then… you might be disappointed today. Let me personally witness just how strong you, the Young Lord of the Nether Palace, really are.” Lin Yun’s smile grew wider, and within that smile there was actually a trace of anticipation.
Lin Yun was also very confident in Zou Dongsheng’s strength. With Zou Dongsheng and Dong Jian dealing with the others, it would be more than enough.
The strength of Lin Yun and Zou Dongsheng was far beyond what ordinary cultivators of the same realm could compare with. Clearly, the Young Lord of the Nether Palace was unaware of this.
“What?!”
Just as tension reached its peak and Lin Yun was about to draw his weapon to compete with the Young Lord of the Nether Palace, a sharp shout rang out from the distant horizon, exploding like thunder.
“Who’s there!”
The Young Lord of the Nether Palace frowned and immediately turned to look.
A beastman powerhouse, Mu Li, was flying towards them at extreme speed from afar.
“Damn it, why is he back?” The Young Lord of the Nether Palace’s expression changed the moment he saw Mu Li.
Lin Yun was also somewhat surprised to see Mu Li return.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Li arrived.
“Mu Li, what is the meaning of this? This fellow has already completed his task and returned, so he has nothing more to do with you. What reason do you have to offend my Nether Palace for his sake?” The Young Lord of the Nether Palace’s face darkened.
In his view, now that the formation for Mu Li’s tribe had been successfully set up, what reason did Mu Li still have to help Lin Yun? Why would he care about Lin Yun’s life or death?
“Young Lord of the Nether Palace, it’s true his task is complete, but now he is my brother, Mu Li’s brother. If you dare touch my brother, have you asked whether I, Mu Li, agree?” Mu Li’s voice boomed.
“What? Bro… brother?”
Hearing this, the Young Lord of the Nether Palace’s voice turned shrill, as if his ears had malfunctioned and he had misheard.
How could Mu Li call this guy his brother?
What kind of joke was this!
“Mu Li, you… have you gone mad? What is your status? Calling this fellow your brother? He merely completed a transaction with you!” The Young Lord of the Nether Palace’s eyes widened, his tone sharp.
“Enough talk. You’ve repeatedly caused trouble for my brother, so today I, Mu Li, will teach you a lesson!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Mu Li charged forward, raising a massive fist the size of a millstone. Carrying terrifying power, he smashed it fiercely towards the Young Lord of the Nether Palace. Wherever the fist passed, space collapsed and wild winds howled!
Although Mu Li had a fiery temper, once he recognised someone as a friend, he would treat them with complete sincerity.
Beastmen might think more simply than humans, but that also meant they had fewer schemes and deceptions, far less deceit and trickery. Their nature was more straightforward: if you’re not convinced, just fight.
The Young Lord of the Nether Palace’s expression changed drastically. “Quick, quick, stop him!”
He had originally wanted to say that attacking him would mean opposing the entire Nether Palace. He thought Mu Li would at most threaten him but wouldn’t dare actually make a move.
He never imagined that Mu Li would attack without a second word. This completely ignored all the rules. Who did things like this? Did he really care nothing for the status of the Young Lord of the Nether Palace?
The Harmonization Realm expert that the Young Lord had summoned from the Nether Palace had no choice but to steel himself and strike with full force to intercept.
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted, accompanied by a shockwave that spread like a towering wave.
The Harmonization Realm expert who rushed forward to block was sent flying backwards, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
Although he was at the Harmonization Realm, he did not possess the formidable defensive power of Lin Yun or Zou Dongsheng. How could he withstand Mu Li’s attack?
Mu Li did not pursue the flying expert. After sending him hurtling away, Mu Li continued charging at the Young Lord of the Nether Palace, his fist carrying terrifying power as he struck again.
“Quick! Everyone, stop him!” Mu Li roared, his eyes wide.
For a moment, everyone behind the Young Lord of the Nether Palace stood frozen, none daring to step forward.
After all, even a Harmonization Realm expert had been sent flying with a single punch. Their cultivation was lower; if they went up, wouldn’t they be killed with one blow?
