After three exchanges, Ye Dingzhi seized the opportunity to pierce Mu Qi's arm. If Mu Ya hadn't quickly forced Ye Dingzhi to defend, Mu Qi's hand would definitely have been lost.

Ye Dingzhi sensed that the time for entering the demonic state was almost up, and slowly raised his right hand. Instantly, a hellish demonic dragon, even more terrifying than before, appeared behind Ye Dingzhi.

This hellish dragon was larger and more ferocious than the previous one, with a more intense black aura emanating from it. It opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp teeth, and let out a deafening roar.

Then, without giving the three any chance to react, Ye Dingzhi roared, "Slay!"

A hellish dragon, thirty feet long, charged directly at Mu Yu and his companions.

This time, the Hell Dragon's power was comparable to the ultimate move of the Great Free and Unfettered Realm, and Mu Yu and the other two were simply unable to withstand it.

Just when the three thought they were doomed, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them and shouted, "Yellow Spring Palm!"

A giant palm print collided with Ye Dingzhi's Hell Dragon.

A loud "BOOM!" was heard, and the powerful shockwave sent Mu Yu and the other two flying.

"Pfft!" All three of them spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time.

Then, they looked up at the figure in front of them and excitedly shouted, "Lord Mu!"

As Mu Yu and the others shouted, the eight Dark River experts fighting against the Four Servants also stopped what they were doing.

The mysterious person addressed as "Lord Mu" by Mu Yu and others is none other than Mu Mingce, known as the number one assassin in the Dark River.

He was dressed in a black robe, with a cold and stern face and deep, unfathomable eyes that seemed to see through everything.

His strength had reached the Great Freedom Realm, which was awe-inspiring.

After Ye Dingzhi returned to the ground, his body trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he had entered a period of weakness.

Mu Mingce looked at the young man in front of him, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, and said softly, "You're quite good."

After saying that, Mu Mingce turned around and cupped his hands towards the carriage, saying, "Demon Sword Immortal, this time our Dark River was tricked. We really didn't know that you were in these two carriages."

"You've suffered no losses, while we've lost so many assassins. How about we just let this go?"

Sitting in the carriage, Yu Tian listened to Mu Mingce's words, her expression remaining calm, though her tone carried a hint of coldness and resolve:

"Kill those three, then tell me who your employer is, and I'll let you go. Otherwise..."

Upon hearing Yu Tian's words, Mu Yu, Mu Yu, and Mu Feng were terrified and begged for mercy.

"No, Lord Mu, we are doing this for the family! You can't kill us!"

However, Mu Mingce's face remained expressionless, as if he were deep in thought.

Mu Mingce glanced at Mu Yu and the other two and said, "Don't worry! I'm not sure I'll kill you."

Upon hearing Mu Mingce's words, the three of them finally felt relieved, and they breathed a sigh of relief, relaxing their bodies.

Looking at their relieved expressions, Mu Mingce smiled slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with his methods.

However, he did not give up. Instead, he turned his gaze to the rainy day and said firmly:

“Demon Sword Immortal, we are an assassin organization. We would never kill our own assassins just because of your words. Also, our Dark River organization has rules against revealing any information about our employers.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed across Yu Tian's face, and he coldly replied, "Is that so?"

As those two words fell, Yu Tian's movements were as swift as lightning; his right hand had already gripped Mu Mingce's face.

Mu Mingce thought to himself, "This is bad."

But by then it was too late to dodge.

Yu Tian slammed his right hand down on the ground with a loud "boom!" Mu Mingce was smashed headfirst into the ground, with only half of his head showing.

Yu Tian slowly stood up, sneering and mocking, "You shameless bastard, do you think the Great Freedom Realm is so powerful?"

"Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant."

His eyes were full of mockery and disdain, as if Mu Mingce in front of him was just an insignificant nobody.

"Now I'm giving you a chance to rephrase your words."

Chapter 81: Swordplay in the Rain, Sword Master Li Suwang

When Mu Yu and the other two saw their top expert being instantly defeated by Yu Tian, ​​the color drained from their faces. Their legs went weak, and they collapsed to the ground, covered in cold sweat, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Mu Mingze, who had been pinned to the ground by Yu Tian, ​​slowly pulled his head out of the soil, supporting himself with his hands. He then looked at Yu Tian with a terrified expression and said in a trembling voice:

"You...you're not a Great Freedom Realm expert, but a half-step Divine Travel Realm master?"

Looking at the terrified Mu Mingce, Yu Tian's lips curled into a slight smile as he mocked, "When did I ever tell you I was a Great Free and Unfettered Realm cultivator? And stop talking nonsense, hurry up and make a decision!"

Upon hearing Yu Tian's words, Mu Mingce's expression turned extremely ugly. He knew that he had bitten off more than he could chew this time. The young man in front of him was far stronger than him, and he absolutely could not afford to offend him any further.

So he took a deep breath, slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and then walked step by step toward Mu Yu and the other two.

When Mu Yu and the other two saw Mu Mingce walking towards them, they were filled with despair and fear. They knew that begging for mercy was useless.

A pleading look appeared in their eyes, hoping that Mu Mingce would consider their past relationship and help them take care of their families.

Mu Mingce walked up to Mu Yu and the other two, looking at them quietly, a hint of helplessness and sadness flashing in his eyes.

He sighed and said softly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your wife and children."

After saying that, he immediately struck with the Yellow Springs Palm. A black aura surged from his palm, quickly enveloping the three of them. Then, with a sudden pull, it drained all their life force, sending them to their deaths.

After killing the three, he turned around and respectfully said to Yu Tian, ​​"Lord Demon Sword Immortal, I have finished killing them."

Looking at the decisive Mu Mingce, Yu Tian's eyes flashed with admiration. He nodded and said, "Not bad, decisive enough. I have high hopes for you. You are a man who can accomplish great things."

"Then tell me, who is the employer?"

Upon hearing Yu Tian's praise, Mu Mingce felt a surge of excitement, but dared not show it on his face, maintaining a respectful attitude as he replied:

"It was the Northern Li Grand Eunuch Zhu Qing who paid us 100,000 taels of gold to kill Ye Dingzhi."

Upon hearing Mu Mingce's words, Yu Tian's face immediately darkened. He launched into a tirade against Mu Mingce, simultaneously shouting:

"Fuck your mother, you still dare to talk nonsense at a time like this!"

"Don't you know Zhu Qing is one of my men? Unless your Dark River faction has a grudge against Zhu Qing, why would I send you here to your deaths!"

Mu Mingce was slapped hard by the rain, feeling a buzzing in his ears and seeing stars before his eyes.

Fortunately, he possessed the strength of the Great Free Spirit; otherwise, given Yu Tian's abilities, that slap might have nearly killed him.

Even so, he was still in bad shape, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

It took Mu Mingce a while to come to his senses.

He covered his swollen cheek, his eyes filled with grievance and innocence, looking pitifully at Yu Tian, ​​and said in a tearful voice:

"Lord Demon Sword Immortal, I really didn't lie! The person who came to discuss business with our Dark River was indeed Zhu Qing himself!"

Moreover, he didn't mention your relationship with Ye Dingzhi at all.

He only asked us, the Dark River, to kill Ye Dingzhi, and told us that the opposing team, including Ye Dingzhi, only had five Ninth Heaven Realm experts in total.

Yu Tian gazed silently at Mu Mingce, pondering to himself.

He carefully observed Mu Mingce's expression and realized that he didn't seem to be lying.

He then fell into deep thought, muttering to himself:

“Zhu Qing paid Dark River to assassinate Ye Dingzhi, but he clearly knew I was in the team. He couldn’t have deliberately sent Dark River’s people to their deaths, could he? Does he really have a deep-seated grudge against Dark River?”

Hearing Yu Tian's self-talk, Mu Mingce suddenly realized the key point.

He hurriedly said to Yu Tian, ​​"Lord Demon Sword Immortal, I've figured it out! It wasn't Zhu Qing who wanted to kill you, but Emperor Tai An!"

After hearing Mu Mingce's words, Yu Tian immediately understood.

Zhu Qing understood his strength, and Zhu Qing was also his man, so when Emperor Tai'an sent Zhu Qing to find them to assassinate him, he knew they couldn't succeed, but he deliberately turned the tables on them.

Mu Mingce watched the changes in Yu Tian's expression and felt secretly annoyed, realizing that their Dark River had been badly harmed by Zhu Qing this time.

That damned eunuch knew perfectly well that the Demon Sword Immortal possessed the strength of a half-step Divine Realm cultivator, yet he didn't reveal a single detail to them. Instead, he offered them an incredibly tempting price.

How abominable!

After thinking it through, Yu Tian decided not to pursue the matter further.

After all, the Dark River might be a terrifying existence in the eyes of others, but to him who was about to break through to the Divine Travel Realm, it was nothing more than a group of ants.

He coldly said to Mu Mingce, "I'm in a good mood today. Take your men and get out of here!"

When Mu Mingce heard that Yu Tian had really let him go, he felt extremely relieved and quickly thanked him:

"Thank you for sparing my life, Demon Sword Immortal. I promise that we in Dark River will never accept any more missions related to the Demon Sword Immortal."

After saying this, he looked at the remaining seven assassins at the Ninth Heaven Realm and felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he still waved his hand and said, "Return!"

Then he ran away like lightning.

Without any hesitation, the seven experts at the Ninth Heaven Realm sped off.

After everyone from the Dark River had fled, Yu Tian then addressed Ye Dingzhi and the others:

"Let's go! Let's continue on our way."

After speaking, Yu Tian went straight back to the carriage. Seeing this, Ye Dingzhi and the others either rode horses or got into the carriage.

A few breaths later, the carriage started moving again.
