Chapter 2025: Chapter 2025: Everybody Stop! Act Like a Human! Take It Away!
"Crack, crack!!"
On the city walls, a series of massive cannon platforms were ready, all turning their barrels to aim at Mu Jinyu. A terrifying energy wave began to accumulate at the muzzle, with runes interweaving unpredictably.
And as Mu Jinyu was locked on by the God Slaying Cannon, he couldn’t help but tense up, feeling a deadly threat rising!
His divine sense told him that if he didn’t flee and faced the God Slaying Cannon head-on, it would be extremely dangerous.
He might even lose his life because of it.
"Hmm?!"
Mu Jinyu frowned slightly, a hint of killing intent flickering in his eyes as he stared intently at the Zhenhai City Lord in front of him.
He somewhat suspected if he had been too soft-hearted, choosing to spare the other, only for the other to deliberately lure him back to Zhenhai City and use this weapon against him?
If that were truly the case!
Then no matter what he said today, he would not spare him again!
Just as Mu Jinyu was brimming with killing intent and contemplating whether to attack Zhenhai City proactively.
The Zhenhai City Lord flying in front of him naturally also sensed the changes in the God Slaying Cannon on Zhenhai City and Mu Jinyu’s rekindled killing intent toward him.
He was suddenly frightened to the point of nearly losing his soul, internally cursing his miserable luck.
"Stop, stop! Everyone hurry and stop!!"
The Zhenhai City Lord hastily shouted to the trusted aides on the city wall!
If they were really to loose the God Slaying Cannon, there’s no doubt about it, whether Mu Jinyu would die wasn’t clear, but he would definitely be the first one dead!
He didn’t doubt Mu Jinyu had the ability to eliminate himself before the God Slaying Cannon fired!
Therefore, he had to quickly call off his trusted aides, telling them not to act rashly as a gesture of loyalty to Mu Jinyu!
"Cease!"
"Sizzle, sizzle!!"
As the words of the Zhenhai City Lord fell, his trusted aides were indeed very obedient and immediately halted the God Slaying Cannon that was being activated.
"City Lord! Are you alright? Are you okay?"
"..."
After stopping the lock-on to Mu Jinyu with the God Slaying Cannon, they asked him worriedly!
The Zhenhai City Lord quickly waved his hand, explaining, "I’m fine, I’ve already reconciled with this guest, you all shouldn’t act rashly!"
"Alright!"
The trusted aides, hearing this, made no further moves.
Meanwhile, all the cultivators inside Zhenhai City, hearing the City Lord’s words, also displayed peculiar expressions.
They didn’t believe things would be so simple.
The Zhenhai City Lord’s temper and cultivation, facing a situation like Mu Jinyu just now, had encountered similar situations before leading to those troublemakers dying miserably!
Where was the chance for reconciliation?
Therefore, the fact that such things happened today could only mean one thing, that the Zhenhai City Lord was helpless against Mu Jinyu, perhaps even no match for him.
That’s why he had to reconcile with him!
Thinking this way, those cultivators looked at Mu Jinyu with astonished and fearful eyes, secretly remembering his appearance, thinking they absolutely shouldn’t provoke this guy in the future.
The Zhenhai City Lord was unaware of these people’s thoughts.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
Even if they guessed he’d lost to Mu Jinyu, so what?
In the end, he survived.
And once Mu Jinyu left, he was still the number one in Zhenhai City. Even if they knew he had such a defeat, would they dare disrespect him?
The Zhenhai City Lord urgently stopped his trusted aides from firing the God Slaying Cannon. He then felt the killing intent from Mu Jinyu behind him gradually dissipate, and he immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
He then turned around, daring not to fly ahead but instead flying back to join Mu Jinyu side by side.
This way, Mu Jinyu wouldn’t have to worry about any traps.
If danger arose, he certainly had to face it with him.
He should be more at ease.
The Zhenhai City Lord was very considerate.
And indeed he wasn’t wrong, as he voluntarily approached Mu Jinyu, adopting a hostage-like attitude, Mu Jinyu indeed completely withdrew his killing intent against him.
He understood that the situation just now wasn’t intentional by the Zhenhai City Lord, but rather due to his trusted aides.
Therefore, there was no need to do anything to him because of it!
"Let’s go, check out the city wall!"
Mu Jinyu said to the Zhenhai City Lord.
"This..."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, the Zhenhai City Lord’s expression changed slightly, then he gritted his teeth and whispered in persuasion, "Can you not kill them? They were just concerned about my safety, that’s why they acted as they did, they didn’t do it intentionally..."
He guessed that Mu Jinyu might be very dissatisfied with the actions of his trusted aides earlier, thus intending to kill them.
If it were someone else, he might have just accepted it, not daring to interfere with Mu Jinyu’s decision.
But these aides had followed him for many years, he was really unwilling for them to die over this matter, hence he had to grit his teeth and voice his persuasion.
Mu Jinyu hearing the Zhenhai City Lord’s words, couldn’t help but take another look at him, saying lightly, "You still resemble a person, but don’t worry, I don’t intend to kill them, just want to look at those cannons!"
He felt that the Zhenhai City Lord finally seemed like a person.
If he easily allowed Mu Jinyu to kill his trusted aides to vent anger!
He would be very doubtful if leaving him alive would truly ensure the safety of the city’s people?
But since he seemed to have some conscience, he could have a bit more confidence!
"Whew... alright!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, the Zhenhai City Lord was relieved, a relaxed smile appearing on his face, agreeing readily.
Then, they proceeded towards the city wall!
Seeing the City Lord and Mu Jinyu flying together toward them, those on the city wall showed no significant change in expression!
But many were feeling anxious, unsure why they were coming over.
Could it be Mu Jinyu wanted to settle the earlier incident with them?!
As they waited anxiously, Mu Jinyu and the Zhenhai City Lord finally reached the city wall.
Mu Jinyu landed on the wall, without questioning the trusted aides there, but instead looked at the God Slaying Cannons and asked, "What is this cannon called?"
The Zhenhai City Lord replied, "God Slaying Cannon!"
After speaking, he guessed Mu Jinyu might not be familiar with the God Slaying Cannon, and he explained, "This is an ancient City Defense Cannon. It was said that when it was developed long ago, it could annihilate the Divine Race!"
Saying the final sentence, he lowered his voice, fearing the absent Divine Race might hear and bring disaster!
"God Slaying Cannon?"
Mu Jinyu, hearing the Zhenhai City Lord’s words, showed slight fluctuations in expression.
This name was familiar to him!
Previously, in Kunlun Ruins, he encountered a city while participating in the Hidden Dragon Conference, happening upon a wave of Ferocious Beast Tide, and in that situation, they used the God Slaying Cannon to defend the city.
Unexpectedly, they used the God Slaying Cannon for defense here as well.
However, the God Slaying Cannon in Kunlun Ruins couldn’t compare to the ones here in terms of power!
The God Slaying Cannon in Kunlun Ruins had no effect on Unity Realm Stage cultivation.
Whereas here, the God Slaying Cannon might have an effect on Chrono Light Realm beings.
Provided the Chrono Light Realm being doesn’t use Time Law to escape!
As Mu Jinyu examined these God Slaying Cannons, the voice of Ming sounded, "Hmm? This God Slaying Cannon is extraordinary!"
"Take it away!"
Ming’s voice spoke to Mu Jinyu very seriously and solemnly.
