Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1622: Li Hu’s Despair! Cast into a Bronze Statue!

Qinghe Mountain Range.

In the silent jungle, a shadow suddenly darted through like a black panther.

"Bang!"

The shadow abruptly rushed into a turbulent river, splashing a few times before reaching the opposite bank.

"Hoo ha... hoo ha..."

Upon reaching the shore, the person finally seemed exhausted, gasping for breath while lying on the bank.

Looking closely, the person's face was youthful, eyes fierce and sharp—it was Li Hu from Xiaolin Village.

"I have run so far, should be safe now, right?"

Li Hu was filled with fear and anxiety, terrified of being caught by Mu Jinyu, which would surely mean certain death.

Muttering to himself, he didn't feel completely at ease and continued to rest briefly before running forward again.

If not for his cultivation just entering the Divinity Transformation Realm, with not much True Yuan available for flight through the sky in the Qinghe Mountain Range, Li Hu thought he would've escaped the mountains long ago.

Unfortunately, due to his limited strength, he could only flee desperately from Mu Jinyu's pursuit, unable to escape promptly.

'It's unfair! Why can he, a pureblooded human, grow from no cultivation to contend with the Sect Master and Great Elders in such a short time, while I remain a mere outer sect disciple? I'm not resigned...'

Li Hu staggered as he ran, roaring bitterly in his heart.

"Buzz buzz..."

Suddenly, Li Hu heard fluctuating sounds from the void, his expression changed instantly, looking around, he saw a small cave to the left and hurriedly hid inside.

Escaping into the cave, Li Hu held his breath, trying desperately to suppress his life force, fearing discovery by those chasing.

"Whoosh!!"

Hearing a piercing sound, Li Hu waited for quite a while before his tense heart slowly eased.

'Gone...'

'Shouldn't be those hunting me...'

Thinking this, Li Hu cautiously emerged from the cave after a while.

"Buzz!"

As soon as he emerged from the cave, the sound of the void reverberated, and a man and woman's figures suddenly appeared before him.

The woman, exceptionally beautiful and with a proud figure, was unknown to Li Hu, but the man, with his handsome looks, Li Hu swore he would recognize even if he were turned to ash!

Mu Jinyu!

The murderer of his father!

He really came chasing!

Li Hu's already pale and haggard face suddenly turned paper-white, completely drained of blood.

Mu Jinyu looked at Li Hu, his eyes cold and emotionless, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, saying lightly, "Finally found you! You've sure been hard to find..."

"Thud!"

With thoughts racing in his mind, fight? Turn and flee? Ultimately, Li Hu chose to kneel and plead, "Big Brother Mu, I was wrong, I acted in a moment of confusion, please spare me..."

Mu Jinyu's eyes grew colder, piercing as if profound ice, coldly staring at Li Hu, "Moment of confusion? Spare you? What about my master? Elder Ji? Who can spare him?"

"Want me to spare you? Fine? Revive all the villagers of Xiaolin Village, and I'll spare your life!"

Li Hu, hearing Mu Jinyu's words, couldn't help but clench his fists, growling low, "You were the one who provoked me first. If you hadn't killed my father first, how would I... how would I..."

Mu Jinyu, hearing this, couldn't help but laugh in anger, speaking slowly, "I provoked you first? I had no grievances with your father; why would I kill him? Do you really not know the reason? Didn't any villager explain it to you? Is it only permissible for you to kill me, and I can't resist, only waiting to be slaughtered?"

"Someone from Xiaolin Village surely explained the truth to you, but what did you do? You could have sought revenge against me, yet you vented your anger on the village that nurtured you. You now come to tell me it was just a moment of confusion?!"

Finishing his speech with a sneer, Mu Jinyu, unwilling to waste more words with Li Hu, raised his hand and flicked his fingers.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Blood Essence Energy shot out, instantly piercing through Li Hu's limbs and meridians and Dantian Qi Sea, rendering him a cripple.

"Ah~!!"

Li Hu, severely wounded, couldn't help but cry out in pain. Due to the agony, his face became twisted and terrifying, but soon, realizing his cultivation was now abolished, his face turned ashen with despair in his eyes.

After crippling Li Hu, Mu Jinyu grabbed his neck, lifting him, then turned to Chu Huannian, "Let's go, back to the village."

"Mm."

Chu Huannian glanced at Mu Jinyu with complex emotions, nodding lightly, waved his hand, and once again, they vanished, shifting toward Xiaolin Village.

A few minutes later.

Chu Huannian returned to Xiaolin Village with Mu Jinyu and the others.

After returning to Xiaolin Village, Mu Jinyu looked complexly at this village filled with the scent of blood and suffocating deadly qi, then said to Chu Huannian, "Take care of Little Yun for me, keep an eye on this beast..."

Saying this, he handed Ji Xiaoyun, cradled in his arms, to Chu Huannian.

Chu Huannian nodded slightly, reaching out to take Ji Xiaoyun.

Mu Jinyu cast a cold glance at the unconscious Li Hu, then turned and walked toward the houses where the villagers had yet to be buried.

He spent an entire day.

Mu Jinyu finally buried over a hundred families from Xiaolin Village in the cemetery behind their village.

For those whose names he remembered, he erected tombstones and inscribed their names.

As for some whom he didn't know names but remembered nicknames, Mu Jinyu carved their nicknames instead.

As for others he had no impression of, he erected unnamed graves for them.

Having ensured all the innocent victims were laid to rest, Mu Jinyu sat before the grave of the old village chief, recounting how he avenged them, sending all involved Qinghe Sect disciples to their deaths in retaliation...

"Master, I've caught the main perpetrator; I'm sending him down. You don't need to worry..."

Having said that, Mu Jinyu turned and looked at Li Hu, who had awakened from unconsciousness but was extremely uneasy and terrified.

"Kneel!!"

He stood and walked towards Li Hu, kicking fiercely, the blow like a whip, and with a crunching sound, shattered Li Hu's kneecaps, forcing him to kneel instinctively.

Mu Jinyu placed Li Hu in a posture of full prostration, then said coldly, "Do you know how those who participated in slaughtering the village met their end? You might not know, but you will soon..."

Saying that, Mu Jinyu skinned Li Hu!

"Ah!!"

Horrifying and filled with endless resentment, the screams echoed.

While inflicting the cruel punishments previously used on the villagers, Mu Jinyu maintained Li Hu's breath with Blood Essence, preventing early release...

Eventually, after using all those punishments on Li Hu.

Li Hu was already on the verge of dying.

Even his Blood Essence barely sustained life.

Observing this, Mu Jinyu took out copper ore, smelted it into molten copper, and poured it over Li Hu!

Forging him into a statue, full of pain and kneeling before the villagers of Xiaolin Village!
