Chapter 2021: Chapter 2021: Zhenhai City Lord Appears! No Such Rule? Then I’ll Fight Until There Is!
"Boom!!"
As Mu Jinyu’s aura erupted, this store in Zhenhai City, known to be the most famous fleet shop, suddenly collapsed, becoming a ground of ruins!
Mu Jinyu’s combat strength was formidable, and although this shop was inscribed with array and restriction techniques that could withstand multiple attacks from a Chrono Light Realm expert without being destroyed, it crumbled with his outburst of anger!
The two clerks were dumbfounded.
They never expected that Mu Jinyu, who didn’t seem to possess very high cultivation compared to the senior cultivators they often encountered, would have an outburst of power comparable to their guild master’s full strength.
"Return the Source Stone to me!"
Mu Jinyu, with cold eyes, looked at Clerk Xiao Lin and shouted in a deep voice!
"I..."
Clerk Xiao Lin, now devoid of his previous arrogance and brazenness, was terrified, trembling all over, and stuttering.
"Hmm?!"
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu assumed Xiao Lin was valuing money over life, and with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, he contemplated sending Xiao Lin on his way!
Clerk Xiao Lin, catching Mu Jinyu’s gaze, shivered as if plunged into an ice cave, realizing that unless he clarified things, Mu Jinyu was definitely going to kill him!
So he bit his tongue fiercely, the pain waking him up instantly.
He hurriedly said in panic, "I... the Source Stone is not on me; it was taken by our guild master..."
"Where is your guild master?!"
Hearing this, Mu Jinyu believed Xiao Lin wasn’t lying.
After all, with thousands of kilograms of Source Stone, the fleet shop wouldn’t leave it in the custody of a mere clerk.
Days had passed, and the guild master surely had already handed over the Source Stone to higher-ups.
"At..."
Clerk Xiao Lin swallowed nervously, about to answer Mu Jinyu’s question, when suddenly, the sky darkened abruptly.
A figure appeared, like lightning, swiftly darting toward them.
Time in the entire Zhenhai City seemed to freeze, everyone stood still, except for this incredibly dazzling figure, streaking straight toward them at an unbelievable speed!
Mu Jinyu remained in place, as the sky dimmed and the figure appeared, he momentarily held his breath, his heart racing as if a small animal was targeted by a great beast of the wild.
In an instant, he knew the owner of this approaching figure was none other than the City Lord of Zhenhai City and also the president of this fleet guild!
At a critical moment, Mu Jinyu roared in his mind, "Ming!"
"I know!" Ming responded lazily.
However, there was a tinge of seriousness in his tone.
With Ming’s acknowledgment, with a tremendous crash, Mu Jinyu instantly shattered the Chrono Light Realm pressure cage the Zhenhai City Lord had enveloped on him.
He became the second person, besides the City Lord, in the vast Zhenhai City who could still move.
Unaffected by the stagnation of time!
This was the effect of Ming manipulating the Earth Emperor’s Tome.
If Ming hadn’t appeared, Mu Jinyu couldn’t have manipulated the Earth Emperor’s Tome alone, and he wouldn’t have been able to break the time law imposed on him so easily!
But with Meng’s presence, Mu Jinyu didn’t fear the time law of the Chrono Light Realm expert, able to use the Earth Emperor’s Tome to nullify the greatest gap between them and contend with him!
"Ha!!"
Mu Jinyu broke free from the opponent’s time law, then lightly shouted, grasping the Riot-Quelling Sword in his right hand.
He then turned back, fixing his gaze on the rapidly approaching figure, his eyes brimming with murderous intent, he swung his sword toward it!
"Roar!!"
With Mu Jinyu’s full blow, a ferocious Blood Dragon, clad in Sword Armor, charged at the figure!
"Boom!!"
The opponent, rushing furiously, never expected Mu Jinyu to break free of his time law’s bindings, and in sudden shock, opted not to evade the strike of the blood-colored dragon-slaying sword.
So he braced himself to face it head-on!
"Boom!!"
"Bang!!"
Like lightning from a clear sky, as they clashed, the heavens trembled, and space fragmented!
The Blood Dragon was torn apart barehanded by the figure, with large splashes of blood sprinkling down, eventually dissipating into bits of light.
The figure, drenched in blood, let out a wild roar with disheveled black hair and a demonic aura of kill-desire.
Yet, upon close scrutiny, one could see that blood was also trickling from the figure’s arm and other places.
This showed that even though the figure furiously tore the blood-colored dragon-slaying sword, looking indomitable, they were actually injured by it.
After all, the Chrono Light Realm’s greatest strength lies in its terrifying suppression of cultivation realms below it, through the time law.
Without this suppression, the Chrono Light Realm is essentially just a slightly larger Creation Realm!
And Mu Jinyu’s strength in crossing cultivation levels was truly frightening, making Creation Realm cultivators no match for him, even though his cultivation was only at the First Layer of the Life-and-Death Realm!
Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that he could injure the Zhenhai City Lord!
If he had chosen to go all out, not merely deploying the blood-colored dragon-slaying sword, the Zhenhai City Lord might have more than just his arm injured; he might have lost the entire limb.
"You’re quite good!"
Despite being injured, with a seeming upper hand, the Zhenhai City Lord refrained from immediately continuing the fight, acknowledging Mu Jinyu’s strength to contend with him.
He addressed Mu Jinyu coldly, "But why have you come to cause trouble in Zhenhai City?!"
Hearing this, Mu Jinyu sneered, "It’s you who pushed people too far!"
He looked at the Zhenhai City Lord, a middle-aged man with shoulder-length black hair, a stern face, and thin lips that gave off an unfeeling aura.
"Return my Source Stone!!"
Mu Jinyu’s gaze was icy as he shouted at the Zhenhai City Lord!
"Source Stone!?"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, the Zhenhai City Lord felt perplexed but quickly figured it out. Mu Jinyu was likely a passenger and after paying the Source Stone deposit, he was probably impatient and wanted it returned. But in their rules, there was no mention of returning deposits, sparking the current disturbance.
"You want a deposit return? Sorry, we have no such rules here!"
Although he knew Mu Jinyu had the capability to fight him, the Zhenhai City Lord did not consider Mu Jinyu a match, nor would he break his rules and return the deposit, as it would ruin his reputation!
As a Chrono Light Realm powerhouse, reigning supreme in the West Sea Town region, how could he bow to someone at the First Layer of the Life-and-Death Realm?
If word got out, what face would he have? People might think him easy prey, constantly seeking deposit refunds.
He couldn’t set such a precedent!
Even if Mu Jinyu himself was in the Chrono Light Realm, he wouldn’t agree!
At most, privately compensating Mu Jinyu in other ways!
"No such rule, then I’ll fight until you make one!"
Mu Jinyu’s expression was stern, unflinching at the Zhenhai City Lord’s refusal, he coldly smiled, "Or maybe I’ll just kill you and take it back myself!"
