163: Their terrifying strength shocked the Mu family.

Mu Qingling's Aura wasn't strong; she likely hadn't achieved a Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage yet, so in his view, it was very unwise to become enemies with Mu Xin and the others right now.

Mu Qingling's talent was good, considered the best among the Mu Family's younger generation in recent years; if she settled down and refined herself, she would surely stand out within the Mu Family in the future.

Hearing this, Mu Qingling also fell into silence.

She never imagined that in less than ten years, so many things would have happened.

The Mu Family had truly undergone a complete upheaval!

Mu Qingling's gaze gradually became incredibly cold; she didn't particularly care about the Mu Family matters Mu Hua mentioned, but he had said one thing that she found unacceptable.

Yang Ru had previously suffered a serious illness, her physical condition getting worse and worse, and it was almost certain that Mu Xin was behind it.

If Mu Xin had only stolen the position of Family Head from Mu Hua, she wouldn't be this angry.

But he actually dared to lay a hand on her parents!

Seeing Mu Qingling not moving, Mu Xin couldn't help but roar again: "Mu Qingling, stop being so stubborn, otherwise, as this Family Head, I will certainly not show you any mercy."

At this moment.

Zhao Rong had also completely lost her mind, screaming at Mu Li: "Mu Li, why haven't you hurried up and killed this bitch?"

Mu Qingling looked at the crowd floating in the sky; except for a very few, everyone else was looking at her with cold eyes.

"Heh."

Mu Qingling sneered: "Do you really think you're something special?"

As her voice fell, she raised her hand and slashed with her sword; there was no Sword Intent sweeping across, only calmness and indifference.

The sword light flashed past in an instant, so fast the crowd couldn't even see it clearly.

"Puff!"

Zhao Rong was directly slain, her corpse split in two, and blood flowed all over the ground.

What!

Everyone in the Mu Family was stunned, looking at all this with expressions of disbelief; Mu Qingling had actually killed Zhao Rong directly.

How did she dare!

One must know that by doing this, Mu Xin would have a complete excuse to directly kill Mu Qingling's entire family, and even the rest of the clan would have nothing to say; after all, you were the one who started the killing.

Mu Xinhai's eyes also widened, his face full of panic.

Zhao Rong could not be killed no matter what, because Yang Ru's life was still in their hands.

Once Mu Xin and the others were completely enraged and they couldn't get the antidote, then Yang Ru would surely die.

Mu Qingling's expression was incredibly cold, and she said in an indifferent voice: "You all have violated the family rules and still dare to be so arrogant; since no one in the Mu Family can deal with you, then I shall be the Executioner."

At this moment.

Mu Li also snapped back to his senses, his chest filled with rage and killing intent: "Executioner? Hahaha, a lowborn like you is worthy? Since you dared to kill Zhao Rong, I want your whole family to pay with their lives for her."

As he spoke, his entire Aura erupted, releasing a cold killing intent accompanied by a terrifying pressure.

"Kill!"

Mu Li raised his hand and struck with a palm; this attack exceeded the scope of the Nascent Soul Stage and could almost level the entire courtyard.

It's over!

Seeing this scene, Mu Hua's eyes were bloodshot.

This silly child, why must she be so stubborn!

He took a deep breath, his gaze becoming determined; Mu Qingling was the hope of their Mu Family, and he absolutely could not let her die.

Even if he had to risk his life, he had to ensure Mu Qingling's safety.

It would be... compensation for the previous matter regarding Lin Yuner.

Thinking of this, Mu Hua prepared to step forward to rescue her.

At that moment, a surge of Sword Intent suddenly erupted, and a stunning flash of brilliance streaked across the sky.

Hmm?

Mu Li's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief; he lowered his head slightly and found a thin wound had appeared on his waist.

How... did this happen?

In the next moment, he saw his lower body falling to the ground, followed by his vision plummeting wildly.

Mu Li's eyes were full of despair and disbelief.

I'm... going to die!?

Soon, his consciousness sank into darkness, and his body fell to the ground in two pieces.

What!

The people of the Mu Family who saw this scene also fell into a dead silence; Mu Hua, who was originally prepared to act, also froze on the spot, his face full of disbelief.

Mu Qingling actually killed Mu Li directly?

One must know that Mu Li was at the Early Stage Soul Transformation; how did Mu Qingling kill Mu Li?

And she killed him with just one sword strike.

What kind of terrifying strength was this?

To be able to kill an Early Stage Soul Transformation with one sword strike, one would at least need to be at the Late Stage Soul Transformation to achieve that, right?

Mu Hua even felt that even a Late Stage Soul Transformation couldn't have done it so easily.

Once entering the Soul Transformation Stage, the difference in combat power wouldn't be so massive; although an Early Stage Soul Transformation couldn't be a match for a Middle Stage or Late Stage, they would still have the qualification to exchange a few moves.

Mu Xin and Mu Geng also widened their eyes, watching this scene in disbelief.

Mu Li just died like that?

When they looked at Mu Qingling again, there was a hint of fear in their eyes; according to their previous analysis, Mu Qingling was definitely involved with some powerhouse—could all of that be true?

Mu Qingling looked at Mu Xin and Mu Geng again, a trace of disdain on her lips.

Immediately after, her figure vanished from the spot; when she reappeared, she had already arrived beside Mu Xin.

"Bang!"

Mu Qingling's light palm strike contained terrifying power; Mu Xin was directly sent flying, crashing to the ground.

A loud boom echoed around the Mu Family area, and the earth trembled as if the blow had struck everyone's hearts.

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Mu Xin's mouth, his eyes filled with terror.

Such terrifying strength!

With just one palm strike, his internal organs were in turmoil, and his blood and Qi were flowing in reverse.

Heavily injured by a single palm!

One must know that he was at the Middle Stage Soul Transformation; to cause such an effect, even a Late Stage Soul Transformation couldn't do it—at the very least, it would require Soul Transformation Perfection or even a Half-step Void Refining Stage.

Immediately after.

A figure crashed heavily beside him; it was Mu Geng, but he had directly fainted. A Middle Stage Soul Transformation could withstand a palm from Mu Qingling, but an Early Stage could not.

Of course, this palm was just a casual strike from Mu Qingling; if she were at full strength, slaying a body integration realm Cultivator would be no trouble at all.

Everyone who saw this scene had their brains freeze, their eyes filled with confusion.

The three Soul Transformation experts currently in charge of the Mu Family were all easily dealt with by Mu Qingling in a short amount of time; this scene was truly somewhat unacceptable to them.

When did Mu Qingling become so terrifying?

Could that rumor be true?

Many of those who had returned to the Mu Family later had eyes full of terror; they had all sided with Mu Xin before, and now that the situation had changed, wouldn't they all be purged?

One must know that Mu Xin and the others were all Soul Transformation Stage powerhouses, and even they couldn't withstand her, let alone anyone else.

What made them feel the most fear was Mu Qingling's decisiveness.

She killed when she said she would, giving you no time to react at all.

Looking at Mu Qingling's eyes filled with killing intent, Mu Xin suddenly screamed: "Mu Qingling, your mother's life is still in my hands! If you dare to kill me, I will definitely make your mother die with me!"

His voice trembled slightly, his face full of panic, as the fear of death loomed over his heart.

Hearing this, Mu Qingling's eyes were full of disdain.

Over the years, Su Chen had given her many Medicinal Pills of all kinds, including Heaven Rank Healing Medicinal Pills; given the level Mu Xin could access, this pill was definitely more than enough.

Mu Qingling lightly flicked her fingers, and two sharp Sword Qi struck the two of them, instantly severing their arms and causing them to completely lose their combat capability.

"I'll leave these two to the Family Head to deal with."

Mu Qingling looked toward Mu Hua; she acknowledged Mu Hua as the Family Head within the Mu Family, as only he was suitable, while others lacked the qualification.

Hearing this, Mu Hua's expression was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Mu Qingling to say that.

Just as he was about to speak, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the Mu Family.

Immediately after, the Void Realm began to tremble violently, and then a pitch-black rift gradually opened up.

"This Seat's Cash cow cannot be allowed to be killed by you just like that."

As the voice fell, Zhao Heng, dressed in a black robe, slowly stepped out, his Late Stage Void Refining cultivation released like heavenly might, enveloping the entire Jinling City.

He looked toward Mu Qingling, his eyes filled with brutality and killing intent.

Mu Xin was someone he had spent a considerable amount of effort to cultivate; how could he let someone kill him at will?
