The Nine-Headed Blazing Lion chuckled, "Little one, just because you point a sword at our necks doesn't mean you can take our heads!"
"Beast, shut your mouth!" Mu Yuan roared, "If I don't kill the three of you today, my anger won't be appeased. I will definitely chop off your head and stew it for lion's head soup!"
The Nine-Headed Blazing Lion grinned, "I have nine heads, which one do you want to eat first?"
Mu Yuan sneered, "Do you think you're the leader of the Mad Lion Cave?"
The Beili Tribe was more than a thousand li away from the Mad Lion Cave by straight line distance.
Despite the long journey,
They were aware that a powerful great demon lived in the Mad Lion Cave.
"Congratulations, you can answer questions!" The Nine-Headed Blazing Lion let out a lion's roar, and then a terrifying divine power erupted within its body, instantly transforming into a Nine-Headed Blazing Lion about ten meters long and six meters tall.
Its nine massive heads loomed over Mu Yuan, whose face had turned pale and was frozen in shock.
"What?"
"This is the Nine-Headed Blazing Lion?"
"Heavens! How did this great demon appear?"
"It... it seems to have broken through its shackles and stepped into the Divine Venerate realm!"
The Beili Tribe descended into chaos.
Fear and deep unease were etched in everyone's eyes.
In the face of a Divine Venerate realm great demon,
Even the entire tribe combined couldn't resist!
"Little one, do you still want to kill me?" the Nine-Headed Blazing Lion asked Mu Yuan with a smile.
"Don't come any closer. If you take another step, I'll behead Chen Nan right now!" Mu Yuan was completely panicked, his sword trembling uncontrollably.
The Nine-Headed Blazing Lion said, "Go ahead and kill him. If you can, I'll let you all live!"
This left Mu Yuan completely baffled.
What did he mean?
Wasn't Chen Nan your master?
Why would you ask me to kill him?
Could it be that this Nine-Headed Blazing Lion had a rebellious streak?
Before he could react,
A terrifying divine power erupted within Chen Nan's body,
Blowing those around him away with blood spewing from their mouths.
"You're also a Divine Venerate realm expert?" Mu Yuan coughed up blood, his eyes filled with horror.
He could feel that
Chen Nan's strength was comparable to the Nine-Headed Blazing Lion's.
This was unacceptable to him.
Because, Chen Nan was a crucial card in his hand.
If this card couldn't be used by him,
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Chen Nan chuckled, "I never said I was an ordinary person, did I?"
The Nine-Headed Blazing Lion said, "Idiot!"
"What a complete idiot!"
"Have you ever considered,"
"Why even a Divine Venerate realm great demon like me would recognize someone as a master?"
"Isn't it because my master's strength is far above mine?"
"My master is incredibly powerful. Even I am no match for him."
"Even if he stood there and let you hack at him, you wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest."
Mu Ningfeng, who was far away, roared with bloodshot eyes, "You are clearly Divine Venerate realm experts, why did you pretend to be ordinary people? Do you find this amusing?"
He had never expected Chen Nan and the Nine-Headed Blazing Lion to be Divine Venerate realm experts.
If he had known their strength earlier,
How would he have dared to imprison Chen Nan?
Even with a hundred times his courage, he wouldn't have dared!
"So, you knew long ago that Great Uncle wasn't in the tribe, and you knew we wanted to imprison you?" Mu Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and a trace of blood still hung at the corner of his mouth.
The Nine-Headed Blazing Lion replied, "That's right. It was precisely because we guessed you wanted to imprison us that I suggested taking the ten-thousand-year divine medicine. Honestly, I never imagined the Beili Tribe would be so wealthy."
"Pfft!"
Mu Yuan exclaimed, "You are despicable!"
The Nine-Headed Blazing Lion said shyly, "Compared to you, it's just so-so!"
"Brother, you deal with this father and son pair!" Chen Nan said casually, then nonchalantly sat on a protruding rock and took out a cigarette.
"Brother, I was wrong. Considering my dantian is destroyed, can you spare my life?" Mu Ningfeng pleaded with pleading eyes.
He never imagined he would be utterly defeated.
It was all his fault for underestimating Chen Nan.
But now.
These words were meaningless.
"Great Uncle, I was wrong too!" Mu Yuan knelt on the ground, kowtowing vigorously, "You taught me before that people are not saints, and everyone makes mistakes. As long as one sincerely repents, one can be given another chance."
"You also said before that you considered me your own son."
"You have to keep me around to take care of you in your old age!"
Mu Yang's face was filled with pain, "Second brother, I truly never wanted to turn against family, not just because of you, but also because of Cui Niang. Before she died, she entrusted me to take care of you and ensure you never suffered any grievances."
Mu Ningfeng said fearfully, "So, you should spare my life even more!"
"Yes, I should spare your life for Cui Niang's sake." Mu Yang clenched his fists, "However, you betrayed your own people. If I don't kill you, I cannot rest easy!"
"Don't worry, for Cui Niang's sake, I will give you a swift end!" With that, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and a beam of sword energy tore through the night sky, severing Mu Ningfeng's head under everyone's incredulous gaze.
Seeing his father killed,
Deep fear appeared in Mu Yuan's eyes. His face was ashen, and he kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Great Uncle, this matter was instigated by my father."
"They say every debt has its owner, and every wrong has its perpetrator. Can you let me go?"
Mu Yang gritted his teeth, "I gave you a chance!"
"However, you broke your word."
"You could kill me."
"But you shouldn't disrespect my benefactor!"
"Great Uncle, are you really going to kill me?" Mu Yuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "I am now the leader of the tribe. If you kill me, you will be an enemy of the entire tribe!"
"Guards!"
"Quickly, guards!"
"Kill this old man Mu Yang!"
He displayed the leader's token.
But...
Although there were many tribe members around,
No one dared to approach.
Let alone kill Mu Yang.
Even though Mu Yang was at the end of his strength,
He had the backing of Chen Nan and the Nine-Headed Blazing Lion, both Divine Venerate realm experts.
These two were undoubtedly invincible existences in the Second Heaven.
Who would dare to oppose them?
"Useless, you bunch of cowards!" Mu Yuan roared. He stood up with great difficulty, a maniacal smile on his face, "Great Uncle, do you really think you've won?"
"Do you really think you can control my life?"
"No!"
"My fate is mine to decide, not heaven's!"
"No one can take my life except myself!"
Saying this, he placed the long sword in his hand at his neck and then slashed down fiercely.
"Pfft!"
Crimson blood gushed from his neck like an opened water faucet.
That was not just blood.
It was his life force.
A moment later.
Mu Yuan fell to the ground, his heart stopped beating, and he died on the spot.
Chen Nan extinguished the cigarette butt and said with burning eyes, "The strife in the Beili Tribe has been settled. Give me the incomplete painting of the Ascending Heaven Road!"
