183: Severely injured Chi Xuanzi

Xuanyuan Potian truly lived up to his reputation as an experienced God Emperor; his strike was devoid of any flashy embellishments.

With just a simple slash, the space around Lin Mu was completely sealed off.

No matter where Lin Mu tried to hide, he would be struck by this blade.

Facing this fierce strike, Lin Mu stood his ground, showing no intention of dodging.

The blade light struck Lin Mu’s body, emitting a clang like metal on metal.

An invisible barrier in front of Lin Mu blocked the strike.

That Lin Mu could withstand Xuanyuan Potian’s strike was within everyone’s expectations.

After all, anyone capable of slaying a God Emperor must possess extraordinary strength.

However, what surprised everyone was this:

Lin Mu made no movement whatsoever, relying solely on a shield of externalized Divine Power to easily neutralize a God Emperor’s full-power attack.

Xuanyuan Potian’s eyes grew a few shades more serious.

This strike appeared ordinary, but only he understood that even he could not have taken it so easily.

This indicated that Lin Mu’s strength far surpassed his own.

Although he seemed reckless, he was not brainless.

He naturally wouldn’t take further risks in matters he wasn’t confident about.

He sheathed his long saber and said coldly, “As expected of someone who can defeat Jia Lan, you do possess some strength.”

“If it were peacetime, This Emperor would definitely fight you to a decisive battle.”

“But today…”

“No need for chatter. You all come at This Young Master together. This Young Master’s time is precious.”

Xuanyuan Potian was already looking for an excuse to rally the others to gang up on Lin Mu.

Seeing Lin Mu’s arrogance, he actually felt a bit of admiration for this young man.

However, admiration was one thing; it didn't change his decision to kill Lin Mu.

“Young man, you are arrogant and overbearing. Since you are so intent on dying, don’t blame us for ganging up on you.”

“Let us two strike together, slay this scoundrel, and restore peace to the Western Region.”

No sooner had Xuanyuan Potian finished speaking than the three of them, with a tacit understanding, instantly teleported into a triangular formation, encircling Lin Mu.

If this were before his battle with Jia Lan, Lin Mu might have felt some apprehension facing the encirclement of three God Emperors.

However, after absorbing the power of Origin, his strength had long since surpassed that of a God Emperor.

Facing the trio’s encirclement, Lin Mu lightly uttered a single sentence:

“You only get one chance to strike.”

Lin Mu finished speaking, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, making no defensive posture whatsoever.

Seeing this, the three no longer hesitated, each summoning their strongest Magical Artifacts, determined to kill Lin Mu here in one fell swoop.

Xuanyuan Potian still wielded his great saber.

However, at this moment, the great saber had transformed from pitch black to crimson all over.

Flames flickered on the blade from time to time.

Liu Yang Gong, being a disciple of Lao Mo, was naturally also skilled in using swords.

At this moment, he held a sword in each hand.

The tips of both swords pointed skyward.

And in the sky above his head, two colossal Divine Swords, reaching to the heavens, actually condensed into being.

The appearance of these Divine Swords caused all the Alliance members outside the battlefield to feel an inexplicable pressure.

The Divine Swords slowly descended; with each inch they moved down, everyone felt the pressure on them intensify.

Chi Xuanzi saw that the other two had brought out their ultimate techniques.

He no longer held back either.

He was seen taking out an egg-sized pearl from his wide sleeve.

The surface of this pearl was dull gray, appearing completely lusterless.

Yet, it was this inconspicuous gray pearl...

…that made Xuanyuan Potian and Liu Yang Gong simultaneously cry out.

“chijing pearl!”

As the two shouted the pearl’s name,

Jia Lan, watching from afar, also revealed a look of greed.

Legend had it that this chijing pearl existed since the dawn of the Divine Realm.

This pearl not only aided cultivation, allowing one’s cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds,

but also, when facing enemies, it could emit a dazzling light.

Anyone caught in its light would find their movements sluggish, unable to exert even thirty percent of their full strength.

Chi Xuanzi had always been low-key, never getting into disputes with other God Emperors.

No one expected him to possess such a Divine Artifact.

For a moment, the other three God Emperors looked at him with wary eyes.

Chi Xuanzi seemed to notice the unusual gazes of the three.

He laughed heartily and said, “Gentlemen, do not be surprised. This pearl is merely a companion pearl to the chijing pearl.”

“Although it possesses the functions of the chijing pearl, it can only be used once.”

“Therefore, everyone must seize this one opportunity.”

Upon hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Chi Xuanzi finished speaking, he threw it with force.

The chijing pearl appeared above Lin Mu’s head.

In an instant, dazzling rays of light enveloped Lin Mu.

Seeing Chi Xuanzi had made his move, Xuanyuan Potian forcefully unleashed the great saber he had been holding in reserve.

This strike was a killing technique he had meticulously studied for tens of thousands of years to develop.

The flames flickering on the blade were precisely condensed from the power of Origin.

He was confident that if this strike landed, even the other three God Emperors, if struck, would be severely wounded if not killed.

No matter how formidable Lin Mu was, he couldn't possibly take it easily.

Not to mention, Lin Mu was trapped by the chijing pearl, unable to exert even half of his strength.

Coupled with Liu Yang Gong’s assistance,

Lin Mu was sure to die today.

Liu Yang Gong, standing nearby, shared the same thought.

His set of mother-child swords was also extraordinary.

He had refined them for tens of thousands of years, using Lao Mo’s remains and the blessing of Origin power.

Combined with a special Cultivation Technique, their power was amplified by dozens of times, if not more.

This move was originally intended to be used against his Revered Master, Lao Mo.

However, for now, it was better to deal with Lin Mu first.

Although he didn't know the relationship between Lin Mu and Lao Mo,

he vaguely felt that their relationship was definitely not ordinary.

Dealing with Lin Mu first was equivalent to removing one of Lao Mo’s arms.

Therefore, he was the most zealous among them.

The blade light and the giant swords landed on Lin Mu’s body almost simultaneously.

For a moment, flames erupted all over Lin Mu’s body, and roars echoed continuously.

The immense energy generated shockwaves that tore space into fragments.

The space around Lin Mu collapsed layer by layer, making it impossible for anyone to clearly see Lin Mu’s figure.

Liu Yang Gong watched this scene, unable to suppress a loud laugh.

“Haha, this time, that kid is surely dead.”

Xuanyuan Potian used his Divine Sense to probe Lin Mu’s location.

Indeed, he detected no trace of Lin Mu’s aura.

He said with a hint of regret, “It’s a pity. Such a figure, and I couldn’t have a decisive battle with him.”

“Fellow Daoists, since this matter is concluded, This Daoist shall depart first.”

Chi Xuanzi greeted them and was about to leave with his subordinates.

However, at that moment, a white figure appeared behind him without any warning.

Before Chi Xuanzi could react,

a punch carrying world-destroying power slammed into his back.

Chi Xuanzi had no time to react at all and was sent hurtling towards the ground by the punch.

Chi Xuanzi crashed heavily into the ground like a cannonball.

The dust kicked up was dozens of meters high.

When the smoke cleared, everyone could finally see Chi Xuanzi’s appearance.

He was seen with broken bones all over his body, covered in horrific wounds, and even the horsetail whisk that was always with him was nowhere to be seen.

Chi Xuanzi vigorously shook his dazed head, reached out to support his body, and stumbled to his feet.

He looked at the person in the sky with terror in his eyes, unable to utter a word for a long time.

And the one who attacked him was none other than Lin Mu, who should have been dead.
