2807 Going Too Far as the Line
In the eyes of everyone, a practitioner like Mu Rouxuan, who had reached the level of a yellow-level great talisman practitioner at just over 50 years old, and a grand talisman practitioner who had perfected their cultivation, appeared to have an exceptionally promising future.
However, as soon as Mu Rouxuan took action, astonishment rippled through the onlookers. The young maiden standing before them effortlessly blocked two consecutive powerful attack talismans launched by the grand talisman practitioner who had reached the yellow level.
Mu Rouxuan pursed her lips, her expression tense.
The defensive talisman matrix enveloping her was composed of 24 jade talismans, emitting a faint and ethereal jade-like glow.
“It’s a defensive jade talisman matrix!”
“As expected of the eldest young lady of the Mu Clan.”
“She summoned a jade talisman matrix so effortlessly.”
On the other side, Jin Chaoyang smiled at Mu Rouxuan. “Little Junior Sister, I doubt you inscribed this defensive jade talisman matrix yourself. Even if you manage to defeat me, it wouldn’t be a fair victory.”
Zhongli Zhiyi furrowed her brow and remarked casually, “Brother Jinxue, it doesn’t seem honorable to challenge a 17-year-old junior sister at your advanced age.”
Jin Chaoyang’s pride dimmed, and the onlookers couldn’t help but chuckle.
Mu Rouxuan shot Zhongli Zhiyi a grateful glance before refocusing on Jin Chaoyang.
She was merely a mid-stage proficient grand talisman practitioner at the black level, still far from reaching perfected black-level status. It was clear that she wouldn’t be able to withstand her opponent’s attack talisman. That’s why the defensive jade talisman matrix she currently employed was crafted by her Seventh Uncle, Mu Jingrui.
However, she had employed this jade talisman matrix on several occasions in the past, leaving her wondering if it could hold up against Jin Chaoyang’s progressively more potent attack talismans.
“Little Junior Sister, consider this my final strike. Be vigilant,” Jin Chaoyang smirked triumphantly before swiftly waving his right hand.
A jade talisman hurtled towards Mu Rouxuan with lightning speed.
The brilliance of the attack escalated with a resounding explosion.
Mu Rouxuan was forcefully propelled backward, covering a distance of over ten meters. Her feet etched two long white furrows into the ground, and she involuntarily coughed up a mouthful of bloody saliva.
Despite the blood at the corner of her mouth, her eyes burned with an unyielding determination as she struggled to remain on her feet.
In less than three seconds, she coughed up yet another mouthful of blood.
Mu Xingchen swiftly leaped forward to stand by her side, offering their support. They glared coldly at Jin Chaoyang and spoke in hushed tones, “Jin, if you want to challenge someone, face me instead. What kind of valor is there in targeting a newcomer?”
As everyone witnessed Mu Rouxuan being pushed to the point of spitting blood, a wave of sympathy washed over them.
“This Jin Chaoyang has clearly gone too far!”
Moreover, Mu Rouxuan herself was no pushover. To withstand two of Jin Chaoyang’s attacks at her age was no small feat. Her ability to even remain upright in the face of the third ferocious assault was a testament to her resilience.
In contrast to Jin Chaoyang’s methodical advance, Mu, the young maiden, exuded the regal presence typical of a member of a prestigious sect.
“It was an honorable defeat,” Jin Chaoyang commented, his lips curling into a forced smile. “Brother Mu, you’re not considering defending your younger sister, are you?”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Mu Xingchen retorted.
As a member of the Mu Clan, he couldn’t stand idly by while outsiders bullied his own kin.
“Big Bro
,” Mu Rouxuan interjected, pressing her hand against his and coughing several times before mustering the strength to speak.
She recognized that she had willingly accepted the challenge, and it was now her turn to face the consequences.
A mix of emotions flickered across Mu Rouxuan’s eyes. Facing such a public humiliation on her very first day at school felt like a harsh wake-up call.
In the past, during clan competitions, others had refrained from going too far due to her identity.
