180: Chapter 180 Peak of Divine Intent? Ant! Touching the Dharma Body and Soul, Soul and Body Unite!

But just at this moment!

"How dare you, junior!" A roar exploded like thunder!

Zhao Xuanji, the middle-aged man in red robes, was so furious his eyes were splitting. Glass-colored strange fire surged into the sky from his body, and the pressure of a Peak Divine Will poured out without reservation.

His niece, Zhao Lingfei, was merely participating in the competition for the championship, yet she had been blasted out of the arena by this woman in white in a single move, her fate unknown!

Such a humiliating insult—if he didn't exact revenge, what face would the Zhao family have to stand in the capital in the future!

"With such vicious methods, I cannot let you live!"

Zhao Xuanji struck out with both palms. Two fire dragons, several meters long and carrying heat capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, headed straight for Mu Susu's back!

A full-force blow from a Peak Divine Will was enough to flatten half a city!

Everyone in the arena felt their hearts tighten.

This was a veteran Peak Divine Will, bolstered by his innate strange fire; his combat power far exceeded those of the same rank!

No matter how strong this woman in white was, she was ultimately a junior. Attacked from behind, how could she block it?

Even the purple-robed female Dharma Form Grandmaster on the high platform leaned forward slightly, prepared to intervene and save her at any moment.

But the next instant—

Everyone's pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks!

Mu Susu had her back to Zhao Xuanji and didn't even turn her head.

It was as if the strange fire capable of incinerating Divine Intent coming from behind was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

Her fair hand reached back casually.

Fast!

Fast to the extreme!

So fast that even Zhao Xuanji, a Peak Divine Will, only saw an afterimage!

"Pfft—"

A crisp sound of defense breaking rang out.

That glass strange fire, capable of melting gold and iron, extinguished instantly in front of that fair palm like a candle flame!

Her fingers opened slightly and precisely clamped onto Zhao Xuanji's throat!

"Ugh..."

Zhao Xuanji's eyes bulged wide. His whole body's blood circulation froze instantly, and his Divine Intent felt as if it had been frozen by ice; he couldn't mobilize a single bit of it!

He could clearly feel that inside that seemingly soft, boneless palm, lay a terrifying power capable of crushing his soul!

"Troublesome."

Mu Susu parted her red lips and spat out two words.

Before the words faded, she flicked her wrist gently.

Boom—!!

Zhao Xuanji's body flew horizontally like a broken sack, smashing heavily into the protective barrier at the edge of the arena!

The terrifying impact caused the entire protective barrier to ripple violently, emitting an unbearable humming sound.

Zhao Xuanji's chest sank deep inward, his meridians snapped inch by inch, and blood mixed with shattered internal organs gushed from his mouth. He passed out on the spot.

A golden Divine Intent rolled in just in time to drag him out of the arena.

Eliminated!

From the attack to being thrown away, it took no more than a single breath.

A Peak Divine Will expert who had dominated the capital for decades didn't even have the qualification to make the opponent look back.

Dead silence.

The whole arena was deathly silent.

Whether it was the dozen or so Divine Intent experts left in the field or the staff on the high platform, everyone froze in place, their minds blank.

Pea... Peak Divine Will?

Just thrown away like that?

What kind of joke is this!

"This... how is this possible..."

An elderly man at the sixth level of Divine Intent trembled, his voice shaking. "That's Zhao Xuanji! A figure who ranks highly even among Peak Divine Will! He's a strong contender for the Powerhouse Group championship! How could he not even take a single move?"

"What realm is she exactly? Could it be... the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

"Impossible! How could someone in the Dharma Aspect Realm come to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament? Besides, she is nowhere near thirty years old; how could she have achieved the Dharma Aspect Realm! But if she isn't in the Dharma Aspect Realm, how could she crush a Peak Divine Will like slaughtering a dog!"

The rest of the Powerhouse Group felt a chill run down their spines. They subconsciously stepped back a few paces, their eyes filled with extreme fear as they looked at Mu Susu.

This wasn't some young prodigy; this was clearly a female demon who had crawled out of an ancient abyss!

On the high platform.

The five Dharma Form Grandmasters also changed their expressions in unison.

Master Ming stood up abruptly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Natural Demon Seed! Combat power skyrocketing—she is that Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Sect!!"

"This girl is extremely strange." The purple-robed female Dharma Form Grandmaster frowned deeply. "Under thirty years old, possessing combat power that crushes a Peak Divine Will... even with the enhancement of a Natural Demon Seed, it can be said to be unprecedented."

The Grey-robed Elder sitting in the very center tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, monstrous waves surging in his deep eyes.

He stared at Mu Susu for a long time, then slowly let out a breath: "Perhaps... only with such talent can she do what we cannot."

...

Amidst the shock of the entire arena, only one figure remained calm.

Lu Qingyun stood there with his hands in his pockets, a careless smile on his lips.

Not to mention being moved, he hadn't even moved his feet. It was as if the person thrown away just now wasn't a Peak Divine Will, but just a fly buzzing around.

This nonchalant appearance, falling into the eyes of everyone, instantly stirred up even greater waves.

"He... he's actually not afraid at all?"

"Nonsense, he is the Universe Invincible Tyrannosaurus God of War! But... but that is a monster capable of killing a Peak Divine Will in seconds! How can he still be so calm?"

"Could it be... his strength has also reached this level?"

"No way! He only killed a fifth-level Divine Intent expert before, and he's been stealing kills in a very shameless way all this time. He's far worse than this female demon!"

The discussion was kept very low, but every gaze swept back and forth between Lu Qingyun and Mu Susu.

The last two people left in the Youth Group.

One was ruthless, suppressing a Peak Divine Will with the flick of a finger.

The other had been slacking off the whole time, yet showed no fear in the face of such a terrifying existence.

What kind of monsters had this Martial Arts Tournament attracted?

Mu Susu's gaze had been fixed on Lu Qingyun from beginning to end.

Eliminating Zhao Xuanji was no different from brushing off a speck of dust for her.

Seeing Lu Qingyun's annoying, smiling face, the anger in her heart grew even more intense.

"Lu Qingyun."

A cold voice rang in Lu Qingyun's ear, carrying a trace of chill. "You accepted my deposit and promised to help me win the championship. If you go back on your word now, you are courting death."

As her words fell, an invisible soul pressure slowly spread out. The surrounding air seemed to solidify.

But facing Mu Susu's threat, Lu Qingyun was not only unafraid but sneered and took a step forward.

"The price you paid before was only enough for what I just did for you."

"As for who gets the final championship... sorry, I have reasons why I must win. I need to know the final secret hidden in this Martial Arts Tournament! This is a bond between me and some unspeakable guy!!"

Lu Qingyun's expression was serious and solemn!

After all, he really needed to win this championship to complete the task given to him by the system!!

Of course, not having this task wouldn't stop him from breaking his promise...

Looking at Lu Qingyun's expression, Mu Susu's expression was cold, and strange light flickered in her eyes.

She said no more.

At the tips of her ten fingers, a pearly white light lit up.

She flicked them slightly.

At this moment, everyone in the entire arena, including those Dharma Form Grandmasters, felt their souls... twitch!

Except for... Lu Qingyun!

Instantly, Mu Susu's beautiful eyes widened, as if she had seen something completely incredible!

"Soul-Body Unity!?"

...
