Seeing their intentions make themselves clear, Xiao Mu doesn't find it surprising at all.

Not to mention that this is the evil ghost's world where nobody would know if a person was killed.

Even in the human world, given the current situation, as long as people don't blatantly murder, nobody would care afterwards.

With the world mutating, restrictions on thermal weapons, various powers making their move, the control of the relevant department drastically reduced, the human world has become chaotic.

However, Xiao Mu isn't flustered at all.

He looked at Madman Chu with amusement and asked casually, "My friends, are you planning to kill me?"

"Asking this kind of question now, don't you think it's foolish?"

Madman Chu's face was ice-cold, a mockery on the side of his lips.

Xiao Mu remained calm, "It seems like, you've already assumed that I'm an easy prey, right?"

"So what if that's true?"

Madman Chu made no effort to mask his intentions, "It's because your strength isn't on par with ours. To be honest, your strength isn't low, it did give us a shock at first."

"If you were cooperative and willing to submit to us, given your strength, we might have found ways to recruit you and allowed you to join us."

"But alas, relying on your own power, you fought with us again and again, even injuring Master Hong."

"That is our bottom line. Those who dare to hurt us, must die!"

As he finished speaking, Madman Chu glanced at Master Hong who was still in pain from his injuries.

As Madman Chu turned his head back to Xiao Mu, his hatred thickened.

The mutant with ice power suddenly interrupted, "You almost killed me earlier, I've been wanting to kill you since then."

"Those who insult me never end up well, I want to burn you alive with my own hands."

The mutant with fire powers had icy eyes, fire appeared in his palms, ready to make a move at any moment.

"Aren't you full of yourself about your fire powers? Show us again. With such a long preparation time, we could have killed you at least ten times before you even use it, you trash!"

This fire-power mutant remember Xiao Mu's previous attack on him and viciously returned the insult.

"I get it now!"

Xiao Mu nodded, a clear sneer on his face, "After all, it all boils down to you thinking that you've got me cornered, thus decided to kill me after opening the treasury's door, right?"

"So what if that's true?"

Madman Chu's face turned icy. His Purple Gold Buddha Palm started glowing, enhancing his power to the utmost. His sinister eyes were fixed on Xiao Mu, "Boldly swaggering in front of us when you are clearly weaker than us, your death will not be in vain. Remember to be smarter in your next life, don't show off in front of powers beyond you, always stay low."

"Alright then."

Xiao Mu's sneer intensified, "In the end, because you think you can eat me alive, that's why you decided to strike me."

"Heh! You've got it right but it's too late now."

The sword-wielding martial artist sneered, his words were like bursting out from his gritted teeth, oozing intense killing intent, sounding extremely chilling.

"I'm curious, did it ever cross your mind that my strength could possibly surpass yours?"

Xiao Mu abruptly retorted, a hint of cold laughter on his face.

"Are you dreaming?"

Madman Chu shot back.

"Perhaps."

Xiao Mu laughed and didn't counterargue, instead, he gently swung his Peach Wood Sword.

A golden light flashed, a ghost servant appeared in front of everyone.

"What is this..."

Madman Chu's pupils shrank, his whole body shivered after taking a careful look at the ghost servant.

The ghost servant was too strong, he felt a cold fear pulse through his body after realizing its strength.

The others turned pale instantly.

It was a Yin spirit, they recognized it.

Looking at its strength... it seems to have reached the late third realm, how is that possible?

Xiao Mu's strength also seemed to be at the late third realm.

Two late Third Realm!

Because of Master Hong's injury, their strength was reduced to just four people.

All four of them were only at the mid Third Realm.

How could four mid Third Realm individuals possibly match two late Third Realm opponents?

Suddenly, all four felt a chill running down their spine, a strong sense of fear rising in their hearts, as though a cold air rushed up from their feet, making them shiver.

"Friends, it's a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding!"

Madman Chu hurriedly yelled.

Seeing the Ghost Servant for the first time, he knew that the four of them were no match for Xiao Mu, even if Master Hong recovered. Including Master Hong, a combined attack from the five of them may not necessarily prevail.

In this situation, trying to fight Xiao Mu would undoubtedly lead them towards their own death.

"You misunderstood, but I didn't."

Xiao Mu's face showed clear mockery, not intending to listen to Madman Chu's explanation.

Since the other party wanted to kill him, he would naturally not let them go.

"So, according to your words, remember to behave sensibly in your next life. Don't show off in front of someone more powerful."

Xiao Mu repeated Madman Chu's words verbatim. Such irony made Madman Chu's face contort with humiliation.

"Kill!"

As Xiao Mu ordered the Ghost Servant, a True Fire Talisman was thrown directly at the ice mutant.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Ghost Servant's Soul knife slashed thrice in succession, each directed at Madman Chu, the swordsman, and the fire mutant.

Upon the activation of the blade formation, the aura of the blade exploded. These three slashes, as fast as thunder and lightning, forced Madman Chu and his comrades to defend at once.

It planned to hold off Madman Chu's three-member team on its own, allowing Xiao Mu to quickly kill the ice mutant.

"Friends, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

With fear in his eyes, Madman Chu explained while blocking the strikes.

His pale golden Purple Gold Buddha Palm came out to fend off the Soul knife of the Ghost Servant.

"Madman, no need to explain, let's just fight!"

The swordsman roared and furiously slashed his sword towards the Ghost Servant.

At this moment, he knew that it was pointless to say anything more. Xiao Mu wouldn't let them go.

The fire mutant, with a deathly pallor on his face, condensed balls of fire in both hands and threw them at the Ghost Servant.

Seeing Xiao Mu's fire talisman coming, the frantic ice mutant quickly erected an ice wall to defend against Xiao Mu's fire talisman.

"Ground Collapse!"

Xiao Mu was obviously not expecting the True Fire Talisman to instantly kill the ice mutant; he stared at his opponent and suddenly shouted.

The ice mutant was startled by his words.

He couldn't understand what kind of technique Xiao Mu was using.

'Ground Collapse', that's a magic spell; how could it be possible?

How could there be magic in this world?

Just as he was confused, a golden light flashed in front of him, and an Imperial Edict appeared.

The Imperial Edict emitted a golden light that directly hit the ground under his feet.

Before the ice mutant could react, he felt the ground beneath his feet collapse, causing his foot to slip, and he stumbled.

"Ahh...!"

The sudden turn of events made the ice mutant cry out in pain.

"Die!"

At the same time, Xiao Mu threw another True Fire Talisman.

The flames formed a sharp cone that violently penetrated the ice mutant's body and exploded inside him.

Blazing flames burst out from within, instantly killing the ice mutant on the spot.
