Chapter 297: Chapter 125: The Fury of the Leviathan! The Rampage of the Monster Vine!_1
Mu Jin sized up Su Changkong from head to toe, and exclaimed with amazement, “Impressive… truly impressive! Your appearance, stature, even your aura are all completely different from before. You must practice some special technique for concealing your aura, right? You almost fooled even me, but alas… A person can change their appearance all they want, yet the essence of their blood and Qi is difficult to alter!”
“Are the noble family members… so terrifying?”
Hearing Mu Jin’s words, Su Changkong also understood that he indeed had been recognized by the other, and it was not a bluff.
Descendants of millennia-old noble families, possessing unique bloodlines, are extremely sensitive to the aura of bloodlines. Mu Jin identified Su Changkong as ‘Sikong Yong’ based on the aura emitted by his bloodline.
Last time at the Giant Whale Gang, the two had a brief encounter, during which Mu Jin remembered Su Changkong’s aura. Even though Su Changkong’s appearance and figure were drastically different now, Mu Jin still recognized him!
Mu Jin’s ability to discern this was also because Su Changkong had just used his light body technique to flee, and during the intense movements, he was unable to fully conceal his aura with the Turtle Breath Technique; otherwise, Mu Jin might not have been able to discern his true identity.
A faint sense of murderous intent was accumulating in Su Changkong’s heart. He was actually indifferent to Mu Jin seeing through his disguise, but Mu Jin thought he was Sikong Yong, which could bring trouble to the Giant Whale Gang!
“Mr. Mu has sharp eyes to see through this,” Su Changkong admitted, since his identity was already exposed, speaking in a deep and rich voice.
A look of mild surprise crossed Mu Jin’s face, and he stared at Su Changkong: “Sikong Yong, you’re a bit more skilled than I imagined. Although Huangfu Honglang was nothing remarkable, the fact that you were able to kill him is indeed no easy feat!”
When Mu Jin had a short scuffle with Su Changkong previously, Mu Jin was scornful of Su Changkong’s strength, believing that the latter could only dominate a minor town.
But to his surprise, he ran into ‘Sikong Yong’ again in the Iron Sword Sect, and furthermore, the latter had even slain Huangfu Honglang.
Although Huangfu Honglang was not a top-notch expert, he had nevertheless reached the Qi Blood Seven Transformation and possessed not insignificant sword cultivation skills, but was still slain by ‘Sikong Yong,’ which surprised Mu Jin!
Su Changkong did not respond, only asking, “Mr. Mu, do you have any further advice?”
Su Changkong didn’t want to fight with Mu Jin; first of all, Mu Jin’s strength was undoubtedly outstanding, being a strong rival with a special bloodline, and secondly, killing Mu Jin wouldn’t do him any favors, it would at most let Su Changkong vent some anger.
And the price would be provoking the Mu Family, the millennia-old noble family behind Mu Jin!
Defeating the younger could well bring the elder; Su Changkong had no desire to be hunted and live in hiding from the top members of the Mu Family.
Therefore, thinking rationally, Su Changkong felt that now was not the time to take action against Mu Jin.
But while Su Changkong wished for peace, Mu Jin did not share that sentiment. His lips curved into a slight grin, an eerie green glint shining in his eyes as he gazed at Su Changkong, his stare resembling that of a predator eyeing a delicious prey: “Sikong Yong, during our last encounter, the outcome was indecisive because of the interruption by Hong Zhenxiang. You don’t truly believe you can stand against me, do you?”
Back in the Giant Whale Gang, Mu Jin relentlessly pressured, and Su Changkong, unable to endure any longer, retaliated, but Hong Zhenxiang appeared, taking Mu Jin away. At that time, Mu Jin was quite discontent, though with his temperament, would not deliberately turn back to crush an ant.
However, when the ant appeared before him, he wouldn’t mind stepping on it!
“Mu Jin, do you really want to fight me?” The murderous aura in Su Changkong’s eyes grew more intense.
Mu Jin let out a cold chuckle: “Sikong Yong, now you only have two choices, either be killed by me, or swear fealty to me, to serve as a slave or servant. To become a servant of a millennial noble family is an honor for a native like you!”
Mu Jin, arrogant and proud of his status as a scion of a millennia-old noble family, felt glorified, completely disregarding a martial artist from a small region. In his eyes, a local gang leader becoming his servant was an enormous stroke of luck!
“Of course, you can also refuse. I always handle matters in a clean manner. After I kill you, the Giant Whale Gang behind you will not continue to exist carefree, and the fate of your offspring will also depend on your choice! There will be no Hong Zhenxiang to help you this time!”
Mu Jin was laughing, but his laugh was chillingly cold.
The previous battle had been inconclusive, and he had felt humiliated when publicly scolded and taken away by Hong Zhenxiang in front of a crowd of locals. Now that the protagonist of that incident stood before him, how could Mu Jin let him off so easily? He had to regain the face he’d lost and make Sikong Yong understand the cost of defying him!
Looking at Mu Jin in front of him, Su Changkong felt a strong disgust and murderous intent welling up inside him.
This Mu Jin was even more detestable than a demon monster!
At least a demon monster was innately evil, a different species meant to prey on humans.
But Mu Jin, a scion of a millennia-old noble family, was arrogant and condescending, never seeing others as equals, accustomed to recklessness, often threatening to annihilate entire families and harm relatives; it was likely this wasn’t the first time he’d done this!
“Mu Jin, oh Mu Jin… I originally did not wish to kill you, but why do you insist on seeking death?” Su Changkong’s face was shrouded with frost, and the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.
The simple fact that Mu Jin had seen through his identity had already spurred Su Changkong’s desire to kill, not to mention his claim of eradicating the Giant Whale Gang; how could Su Changkong possibly tolerate letting him live any longer?
