Chapter 335 Don't Qualify
"You don't qualify to play rough," Blaze Regret scoffed coldly, then looked toward the distance.
Mut Kui, after all this time, you should be arriving soon.
The crisp sound of a whip echoed across the mountainside, causing all the disciples of the Five Demon Hall to exchange glances without one daring to rush forward and fight Blaze Regret. Even a fourth tier spirit lord master had been easily beaten, let alone them. If they took even a single step, they feared they would be instantly obliterated.
The intense pain coursing through his body nearly drove Mut Yin to collapse. For the first time in his life, he loathed the vine whip.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, three long trails of dust were drawn at the foot of the mountain. From them emerged a middle aged man exuding a terrifying aura. His face, shadowed and grim, lifted as his chilling voice resounded through the heavens and earth.
"Who dares to run wild on my Five Demon Hall?"
Upon seeing this man appear, the disciples of the Five Demon Hall seemed as if they had glimpsed hope. Their eyes lit up, and excited shouts erupted thunderously.
This middle aged man was none other than Mut Kui!
Following him, two more elders emerged. They were the only remaining elders of the Five Demon Hall, though their expressions were extremely cold.
"Big brother, save me!"
Mut Yin, who was hanging upside down, seemed to have a moment of revival. His face lit up with joy as he twisted his body. But as he moved, the thorns on the ethereal vine tore several gashes into his body.
"I give you three breaths to release Mut Yin. Otherwise, no matter where you come from, your people will meet a tragic end on the streets tonight," Mut Kui said, his hands clasped behind his back, coldly staring at Blaze Regret.
"Is that so," Blaze Regret replied with a faint smile. "Sounds quite intimidating. In that case, I suppose I must respectfully comply."
Her jewel like dark eyes blinked gently, and the ethereal vine suddenly released its grip. Mut Yin's body plummeted like a bird with broken wings, screaming as he fell.
"Black Crocodile of the Water!"
Seeing Mut Yin's body falling, Mut Kui was first stunned, then an intense murderous intent erupted in his eyes. A surge of murky black water shot skyward, attempting to catch Mut Yin's body.
Witnessing this scene, Yun Suhaila's pretty face turned pale. No matter what, Mut Yin's hideous face would leave an indelible shadow in her heart.
"Swish!"
Just as the wave was about to catch Mut Yin, a dense array of emerald green vines suddenly shot down with a fierce whooshing force, piercing through the elated Mut Yin.
"Hmph!"
With a slight pout, the ethereal vine's sharp emerald tendrils swiftly retracted, disappearing into its palm.
"Who are you really?"
Mut Yin's body fell into the murky wave, instantly mixing with streaks of crimson. Mut Kui's furious roar echoed like thunder in all directions.
"What a scene, all this shouting and yelling."
A flash of golden light appeared beside Blaze Regret, and Master Magi's smiling figure suddenly emerged, causing Yun Suhaila to gasp in surprise and cover her red lips with her delicate hand.
This person wasn't here just a moment ago.
At this moment, Master Magi's appearance was no different from an ordinary spirit master, except for his hair, which was a healthy snow white color. Coupled with his wrinkle free face, he exuded an aura that was both ethereal and sage like.
"Master Magi, has your strength recovered?" Blaze Regret asked in surprise.
"Not quite yet, but handling a small fry like this is more than sufficient."
Smiling, Master Magi cast his gaze downward, extending his hand. Around Mut Kui, dazzling golden characters began to shimmer and spin rapidly. In the next instant, Mut Kui's body was suddenly transported to the front of the mountain gate.

"What's happening!"
It wasn't just Mut Kui; even the two elders of the Five Demon Hall below shouted in alarm and fear.
"You're really too noisy."
Master Magi frowned in displeasure and waved his hand, saying softly, "A mere ninth tier spirit Lord master dares to threaten my disciple? You should speak while kneeling."
With the wave of Master Magi's hand, Mut Kui felt as if a mountain weighing ten thousand pounds suddenly crashed onto his back, forcing his knees to hit the ground with a thud.
Kneeling with his head slightly bowed, Mut Kui's face was filled with shock. In the face of this power, he couldn't even muster a single thought of resistance. It was unheard of even for a strong spirit master of the spirit core level to be this powerful.
What Mut Kui didn't know was that Master Magi was not human, and ordinary measures of strength simply didn't apply to him.
Nonetheless, his heart was overwhelmed with a tidal wave of fear.
"Senior, if I have offended you in any way, I, Mut Kui, offer my apologies here and now." Gritting his teeth, Mut Kui slammed his forehead against the ground. The stronger one becomes, the more they cherish their life, especially when he was just a step away from becoming an ultimate spirit king master.
"Such thick skin."
Master Magi paused for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. His eyes gradually grew indifferent as he said, "Little one, whether you want to kill or spare him, it's up to you."
Upon hearing this, Mut Kui, who was kneeling on the ground, began to tremble violently. A profound sense of despair filled his heart.
Could it really be the end for him?
He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of unwillingness.
"A ninth tier spirit lord master is too much of a threat. It's best to kill him," Blaze Regret's cold voice rang out, causing Mut Kui's body to collapse in resignation. He knew that the boy's words largely represented the old man's will.
