Chapter 720: Chapter 0720 Battle with Ku Mu
Lin Zhenbei and Lin Zhetian were both from Shu Mountain, and Lin Zhetian was even hailed as a genius of Shu Mountain. Now, Lin Zhetian had been seriously injured by Ye Xunhuan, and at the same time, Lin Zhenbei knew full well the terror of Ye Xunhuan—he had absolutely no certainty that he could kill Ye Xunhuan!
If he had been sure he could kill Ye Xunhuan, then back in Jiangzhou City Prison, Lin Zhenbei would not have crawled out like a dog with Lin Zhetian, but would have confronted Ye Xunhuan instead.
Now that Lin Zhenbei had come seeking revenge, Ye Xunhuan did not believe that Lin Zhenbei, who had absolutely no certainty of dealing with him, would foolishly come alone to seek revenge.
Therefore, Ye Xunhuan concluded that there must be helpers in the dark for Lin Zhenbei; it was just that the other party was hiding very well, and Ye Xunhuan had not detected the slightest clue.
But he could be sure that there were definitely people in the dark.
Indeed, as Ye Xunhuan had expected, when his right hand turned into a tiger’s claw and was about to crush Lin Zhenbei’s throat, the other party finally couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Swoosh!"
A white flash, like lightning splitting from the sky, appeared in front of Ye Xunhuan in an instant, while the fierce Sword Qi whipped up a gust of wind, assaulting Ye Xunhuan first.
Just when the white flash was about to strike Ye Xunhuan, his figure flashed, and he immediately dodged to the side!
The next moment, an old man in a gray robe appeared in front of Ye Xunhuan.
This old man was none other than Lin Zhetian’s senior brother—Ku Mu!
Ku Mu, standing like a javelin, stared intently at Ye Xunhuan, "Boy, who exactly are you?"
After stabilizing Lin Zhetian’s injuries, Ku Mu decided to take action against Ye Xunhuan. He wanted to meet this Ye Xunhuan to see who he really was and what kind of strength he possessed to dare to ignore them, Shu Mountain, and beat their most proud disciple half to death.
Since Pei Ximing knew about the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, it was quite easy for Ku Mu and Lin Zhenbei to find Ye Xunhuan; they merely needed to wait around the villa for him!
So he and Lin Zhenbei came here directly, waiting for Ye Xunhuan to return, letting Lin Zhenbei take the lead in testing the waters with Ye Xunhuan. But who would have thought Ye Xunhuan would actually be able to thrash Lin Zhenbei.
While Ye Xunhuan was thrashing Lin Zhenbei, Ku Mu wanted to intervene, but in the end, he held back. He could see that at that time, Ye Xunhuan had not moved to kill, but at this moment, Ye Xunhuan had truly moved to kill.
This left him with no choice but to show himself.
At the same time, Ku Mu also became highly suspicious about the identity behind Ye Xunhuan.
Even if Ye Xunhuan was the maternal grandson of the Qin family from the capital, Qin Fenghuang’s son, surely he couldn’t be this formidable?
Unless he had some remarkable mentor guiding him, but what kind of mentor could be so defying to nurture a martial artist of the Innate realm who was in his early twenties.
"Ye Xunhuan!"
"Who is your master?"
"You’re not worthy to know him," Ye Xunhuan said with a cold face!
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s arrogant words, a surge of anger immediately appeared on Ku Mu’s originally sullen face, "You..."
Just as Ku Mu began to speak, Ye Xunhuan interrupted, "You’re also from Shu Mountain?"
"Indeed, I am Ku Mu of Shu Mountain!"
"So, you’ve come to help him seek revenge on me?" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently.
"You descended the mountain with such a malevolent and ruthless heart, if left in this world, who knows how many people will suffer from your evil deeds. We of Shu Mountain have always taken it upon ourselves to act as agents of Heaven..."
"Save it. Isn’t it just that you want to kill me? Why dress it up in such sanctimonious terms? Don’t you find it hypocritical?" Ye Xunhuan said disdainfully, "If you want to fight, just bring it on!"
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s blunt words, though Ku Mu’s heart filled with rage, he laughed in exasperation, "Good, very good. I want to see just how powerful you are!"
With those words, Ku Mu made a gesture as if he was about to charge at Ye Xunhuan.
The very next moment, Ku Mu’s entire being, like a gust of wind, whooshed and appeared right in front of Ye Xunhuan, his sword drawing a circle that instantly brought forth six sword flowers, sparkling like dazzling fireworks in mid-air!
It was just a blink of an eye, and Ku Mu had lashed out with six swords in rapid succession, each carrying the might of thunderous force, each filled with a piercing intent to kill.
From a distance, one could see the Sword Qi radiating in all directions, completely enveloping Ye Xunhuan within its scope.
Ku Mu’s strikes were both fast and fierce, forcing Ye Xunhuan to dodge to the side.
Lin Zhenbei, watching from the side, his face twisted with pain, slowly revealed an excited expression, and a frightening cold light flickered in his eyes at that moment.
Lin Zhetian was very clear about Ku Mu’s strength, a complete Innate Great Perfection, just lacking the final step to enter the realm of ultimate heaven.
But stepping into the realm of ultimate heaven was not an easy feat. Once power had peaked, one could only rely on personal enlightenment!
If you perceive it, you perceive it. No one can help you. Otherwise, the realm of ultimate heaven wouldn’t be filled with none but the undying old!
Ku Mu was just one step away from entering the realm of ultimate heaven, which is why when he heard from Lin Zhenbei’s mouth that Ye Xunhuan might very likely be of the realm of ultimate heaven, his heart surged with a will to battle.
For Ku Mu, he was just missing an opportunity, an opportunity to step into the realm of ultimate heaven. He yearned for a life-and-death struggle with a master of the realm of ultimate heaven, to step into the realm amid life and death.
Facing Ku Mu’s attack, swift as lightning, Ye Xunhuan gradually harbored a solemn look, knowing that Ku Mu and Lin Zhenbei were not on the same level at all.
Whether it was the speed of their attacks or their strength, Ku Mu was far beyond what Lin Zhenbei could match.
Without any exaggeration to say, Ku Mu was the most powerful Huaxia master Ye Xunhuan had encountered since arriving in Jiangzhong City, none other!
"Ten Thousand Swords as One!" Ku Mu narrowed his eyes, his longsword waving a myriad of sword lights, shining brilliantly with a thunderous roar!
In this moment, Ku Mu fully entered the state of Unity of Man and Sword, where the sword was him, and he was the sword, turning complexity into simplicity with an overwhelming aura!
As the sword slashed out, the air around seemed to shatter, creating a violent impact as if a tornado had struck, with the howling wind fully enveloping Ye Xunhuan, leaving him with no chance to dodge!
Upon seeing this, Ye Xunhuan’s face immediately filled with a grave expression. With a flick of his right hand, a blade glinting with a cold light suddenly appeared in Ye Xunhuan’s hand!
Wielding the sword, Ye Xunhuan seemed to transform into another person at that moment; his eyes filled with an icy chill, devoid of any sentiment.
"Yin Yang Break!"
Without hesitation, Ye Xunhuan swung the sharp blade in his hand fiercely!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a sound like thunder erupted around them, and immediately dust flew in all directions, while the trees nearby also seemed to be greatly affected, their branches thrashing wildly!
