The first to act wasn't Gu Yuexi, but rather Chu Sheng, who was in his Primitive Form, lazily napping in Gu Yuexi's hair.
'Is this Mu Linyuan a moron?'
'I was only holding back because of my promise to Ye Qingzhou. I couldn't be bothered to deal with him yet.'
'And now this clown has to come over and run his mouth, and with the tone of a goddamn two-faced snake?'
So, Chu Sheng attacked right then and there. He instantly fused a Soul-Bursting Flame Feather and hurled it straight at Mu Linyuan's face.
Now, with his Qi Blood Realm at the Peak of Fourth-Grade, a single Feather Blade, fused from fifty Soul-Bursting Flame Feathers, was enough to harm someone at the Peak of Fifth-Grade, or even in the Sixth-Grade Early Stage.
And the very instant Chu Sheng made his move, Gu Yuexi attacked at almost the same time!
'In Gu Yuexi's eyes, the moment Mu Linyuan reappeared, he was already a dead man. Delaying his death a bit longer didn't matter.'
