Chapter 357: I Want a Piece of Jade

"Kill!"

The two moved from left and right, seemingly wanting to strangle Qing Yan in between them. A terrifying force stirred up ten thousand fathoms of waves, as if it intended to destroy everything before them.

Qing Yan, besieged by the two, wore a look of pitiful helplessness, appearing like a weak and innocent young girl. She slumped to the ground, as if the previous strike had already stripped her of all combat capability.

Yet everyone knew that these people were all cold-blooded killers who wouldn't blink at murder; who were they putting on this act of feigned pity for?

The two exchanged a glance, not relaxing in the slightest. These old monsters who had managed to survive were each not to be underestimated. A moment of carelessness could easily lead to them turning the tables.

Therefore, one either does not act, or one strikes to kill while the opponent is vulnerable, otherwise there will be endless trouble.

But just at this moment, the two who were attacking simultaneously shifted their targets, aiming at each other instead.

"You little bastard, you dare to backstab me!"

"You're the same, I've been guarding against you all along. Ye Juan, didn't your look just now say you wanted to finish off Qing Yan first? Now you're attacking me too, you really have no shame!"

Carefully guarding against each other, Lin Musheng spoke slowly to Qing Yan on the side, "Qing Yan, how about we join forces?"

"Join forces? Qing Yan, do you still think he didn't screw you over miserably enough just now!"

"Circumstances change. Qing Yan occupies the local advantage, and your strength is slightly greater than mine, so my attack just now was a last resort. Now that everyone is tied, naturally we must take out the strongest first."

"Qing Yan, you better think clearly. If Ye Juan and I fight and Ye Juan is the one who survives, do you have the ability to protect your meal from his hands!"

At this moment, Qing Yan's expression was uncertain, unable to make a decision for a time. The three fell into a standoff once more, with no one having the certainty of victory.

Among the three, Ye Juan was clearly the strongest, but lacked an absolute, overwhelming advantage. Next were Lin Musheng and Qing Yan, with Lin Musheng's strength being a sliver stronger than Qing Yan's.

However, this was Qing Yan's home turf; she had clearly been preparing here for many days and occupied the local advantage.

Among the three, it was actually Lin Musheng who felt the least confident. Everyone wanted the Heavenly Pride of the era; it was as if it were the most greedy, most primitive impulse carved into their souls.

Having reached their realm, taking another step forward was already extremely difficult. Devouring ordinary people could certainly allow them to progress bit by bit, but that was a very slow process of accumulation.

Perhaps, before they could finish accumulating, they would have already died of old age.

Only these so-called Heavenly Prides of the era, favored by this World, could allow them to become stronger more easily and take that next step more easily if they devoured them and claimed everything they possessed as their own.

Otherwise, one day, they would exhaust their last bit of lifespan in the long passage of time.

They wanted to live, so they could only fight, and they had to fight.

Who wouldn't want to possess such a Heavenly Pride, who wouldn't want to devour them?

Before there was Mu Zishan, who seemed to have gathered the love of the entire world upon himself, suppressing the entire Jianghu until it couldn't breathe and could only tremble in fear.

Apart from him, there were no other decent Heavenly Prides in this world. Cold Spear, Bai Yi, or Half-Step Killing Fist—they sounded quite impressive, but they were still lacking something.

If placed in the worlds of the past, there would have been at least three or five Heavenly Prides with terrifying strength; they would have been proud of the world and invincible.

Although these people varied in strength, each had their own specialties. With a larger number, they would have had a score.

But now, the only ones who could be called Heavenly Prides were likely Mu Zishan, who once suppressed the Forbidden Land, and this Shen Yu before them.

The quantity was pitifully small, and they were terrifyingly strong, but one couldn't deny the high quality.

Counting back so many years, with the limits of heaven and earth set there, even among the Heavenly Prides of various eras, few could be as brilliant and talented as this.

These Heavenly Prides were invincible at the same realm and could kill or defeat strong enemies across realms, but those who could break through the limits of heaven and earth to transcend themselves were almost non-existent.

Now, one of these could stand in for a whole bunch; you tell me, could they not be tempted?

The fat meat was right at their lips; were they just going to watch as someone else swallowed it in one bite?

At this moment, Lin Musheng still wore a gentle smile on his face, that feeling of a spring breeze seemingly able to bring people infinite goodwill.

Yet in the eyes of others, it was nauseating enough to make one want to vomit.

"Smile, smile my ass. Don't use that routine you use on women on me; I'm not one of those little girls whose heads are turned by so-called love."

"Qing Yan, Ye Juan, if we fight here until we're both broken, others will be waiting for us to finish so they can reap the benefits!"

"Besides, have you thought about whether the Heavenly Pride of the era is so easily killed? Up until now, he hasn't even made a sound!"

"Think about it, this is a Heavenly Pride. He doesn't make a sound, nor does he run away. Is it because he's fearless, or because he's disdainful?"

Speaking of this, Lin Musheng's gaze turned toward Shen Yu. With such a commotion, it was impossible not to attract this person's attention.

If the Heavenly Pride of the era were this disappointing, he wouldn't deserve to be called a Heavenly Pride; he would have been hacked to death long ago while wandering the Jianghu.

Moreover, there were eyes watching from behind them; the entire Da'an City had gathered quite a few awakened old monsters.

Their goals were the same as his, yet when they sensed Shen Yu's aura, only the three of them appeared here.

What the others were planning was self-evident. They all wanted to be the fisherman; is it so easy to be the fisherman? Have you forgotten how terrifying these Heavenly Prides are?

You must know, their strength has not yet recovered to its peak, and the gap between them and the Heavenly Pride is not large. Isn't the thing these Heavenly Prides of the era love to do most to kill those of higher levels?

Have you not seen how many times in the Great Contention Era, how many people were killed by Heavenly Prides before they could even recover their peak strength?

Lin Musheng's words successfully stirred up the concerns in the hearts of the other two, their eyes turning in unison toward Shen Yu below, greed and killing intent flickering in their eyes.

"The situation isn't right!" Shen Yu, hiding in the shadows, watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

The clone in the Brothel had released his own aura, and at the same time, his Super Perception swept across the surroundings without any concealment, completely in a posture of provocation.

It didn't matter if he didn't look, but one look gave him a fright. He knew there might be many old monsters in Da'an City, but he didn't expect there to be so many.

Just appearing before his eyes were three, and there were two others he could sense; what about the ones he couldn't sense? Would there be more?

His own small frame was being targeted by a pack of wolves; if these people all swarmed him together, whether his small frame could hold up was a question.

"I have a proposal: why not take him down first, then discuss the rest."

Seeing there was no response from the surroundings, Lin Musheng wasn't annoyed, just smiling lightly; his natural affinity was his strongest weapon.

How many women had fallen into his arms because of this? His affinity worked on both men and women.

"You all know the terror of these Heavenly Prides. This one before us is even stronger than the Heavenly Prides of those previous eras; whether the three of us can take him down together is a question."

"Everyone, I know you are all hiding here. Why don't we all strike together to take him down first, then discuss the distribution?"

"Damn you, I thank your whole family!!"

Shen Yu, hiding in the dark, cursed under his breath. He didn't know when a fluorescent light had appeared in his hand; it seemed this was forcing him to use his ultimate move.
