55: Three dog heads, I don't want them anymore

A great battle raged, plunging the world into chaos, with the sun and moon losing their light.

The battlefield, which once held hundreds, now had fewer than a hundred remaining.

Some, terrified, tried to escape.

But to their surprise, they found themselves trapped within a domain.

No matter what methods they used, they couldn't break through the domain's wall, which was like an impenetrable fortress.

The Elder of the Taixu Sect couldn't fathom it.

How could this masked man, also in the Venerable Ninth Heaven Realm, be so powerful?

He cautiously retreated to the periphery of the battlefield, his gaze constantly sweeping across the area.

Suddenly, Lin Mu's figure appeared in his line of sight.

At this moment, Lin Mu stood watching the battle, completely unguarded.

"To catch the bandits, first catch their leader."

This thought flashed like lightning in the Elder of the Taixu Sect's mind.

He narrowed his eyes, and his figure suddenly became transparent.

Clearly, this was a profound stealth technique.

His body swiftly approached Lin Mu, getting closer and closer.

Just as his outstretched hand was about to grab Lin Mu's neck,

Lin Mu suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes filled with mockery.

The Elder of the Taixu Sect's heart jolted, but he didn't stop; instead, he continued to reach for Lin Mu.

His talon-like hand clamped tightly onto Lin Mu's throat.

Then he revealed his figure and triumphantly shouted to the combatants, "Everyone stop! If you don't stop, I'll take his life!"

The two sides, fiercely engaged in battle, suddenly heard this loud shout and all retreated, turning to look.

The Elder of the Taixu Sect, seeing everyone looking at him, added more force to his grip.

He calmly ordered,

"Hand over the item and cripple your cultivation, or he dies."

The others all showed victorious smiles on their faces.

The Elder of the Taixu Sect was already fantasizing about how to kill these two.

Then he would subdue the ferocious beast and, when distributing the spoils, claim a larger share.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face grew wider.

Yun Feiyang, at this moment, stood with his arms crossed, watching the Elder of the Taixu Sect with a playful expression.

The Three-Headed Dog's three massive heads shook a few times, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

It couldn't understand how the powerful Lin Mu could be so easily subdued.

Just as it hesitated whether to seize this opportunity to escape,

A sudden change occurred.

Lin Mu, whose throat had been clamped, unexpectedly extended a finger and lightly traced it across the Elder of the Taixu Sect's hand.

This seemingly simple action had astonishing consequences.

— The Elder of the Taixu Sect's hand, which was gripping Lin Mu, was instantly severed, with an exceptionally clean cut, not even a drop of blood spurting out.

The Elder of the Taixu Sect stared in shock at his severed hand.

Before he could react, he felt a strange power envelop his body.

He was horrified to find his body floating uncontrollably, as if freed from the shackles of gravity.

Lin Mu stood in place, his voice cold as he softly uttered the word "Explode."

His voice, though not loud, resonated like a clap of thunder, shaking everyone to their core.

In an instant, the Elder of the Taixu Sect's body, like an inflated balloon, violently burst apart.

Not only did his flesh turn into fragments scattered everywhere,

Even his divine soul was annihilated in the explosion, completely vanishing from this world.

This scene was truly shocking!

Too bizarre.

It not only scared the Three-Headed Dog, which had intended to flee, out of its wits and shattered its courage,

But it also left everyone on the battlefield stunned and dumbfounded, standing rooted to the spot like wooden chickens.

The silence lasted for quite a while.

Finally, someone couldn't bear the suffocating atmosphere any longer.

He fell to his knees, kowtowing desperately, like pounding garlic.

At the same time, he continuously mumbled pleas for mercy.

"Senior, spare my life! I was temporarily led astray; please just let me go like a fart."

Some people looked at the kneeling person with disdain, then a hint of ruthlessness flashed in their eyes.

They raised their longswords and launched a surprise attack on Yun Feiyang.

Many more chose to scatter and flee, attempting to escape this terrifying place.

However, no matter what these people did, they ultimately could not escape their fate of death.

After another series of intense metallic clashes, the mountain gorge returned to its tranquility.

Lin Mu still stood firmly in place, his expression as calm as water.

He watched Yun Feiyang, who was cleaning up the spoils of war, with an unreadable face.

The Three-Headed Dog, at this time, seemed a bit guilty.

It cautiously trotted over and lay down beside Lin Mu, its face full of fawning.

Yun Feiyang moved exceptionally fast, ransacking everyone's storage bags in a blink of an eye.

"Sect Master, look. These people actually have some wealth; this trip was truly worthwhile, haha!"

Yun Feiyang held a storage bag in both hands and presented it to Lin Mu, his face beaming with excitement.

Although he had just been through a major battle, he was in a very good mood at this moment.

Not only did he acquire a seven-colored divine lotus, but he also gained an unexpected fortune.

Lin Mu glanced indifferently at the storage bag, not reaching out to take it.

He showed a look of disappointment, muttering to himself, "It's a pity I couldn't find any clues about the divine stone this trip."

The Three-Headed Dog, lying on the ground, suddenly raised its head and made a questioning sound.

"Divine stone? What divine stone?"

Lin Mu took a deep breath, used his spiritual power, and slowly condensed a stone that emitted a faint glow.

This divine stone displayed unique shapes and textures, as if containing endless mysteries.

He showed the divine stone to the Three-Headed Dog, and at the same time, asked in a probing tone,

"It's this kind of thing. Have you ever seen it before?"

The Three-Headed Dog's eyes initially showed confusion, then it seemed to recall something.

Its other two heads also lifted, carefully examining the heavenly dao stone.

After observing it for a while, it hesitated and spoke:

"It looks a bit familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen it."

"If I could eat another piece of divine lotus, maybe I'd remember."

A sly look flashed in its eyes.

Lin Mu waved his sleeve, dispelling the divine stone illusion.

He stared at the Three-Headed Dog with cold eyes: "I wonder which of these three dog heads would be more palatable to eat."

Yun Feiyang, with a telepathic understanding, chimed in: "That's easy; just stew all three. You'll know which one tastes better after trying them one by one."

The Three-Headed Dog, being teased by the two of them, felt a chill down its neck.

It hurriedly stuck out its tongue, feigning ignorance: "Oh, look at my dog brain, I just remembered it now!"

Lin Mu retracted his gaze and said in a cold tone,

"Next time you dare to bargain with me, it won't be just one head that gets chopped off."

The Three-Headed Dog heard Lin Mu's tone and knew he wasn't joking.

He couldn't help but shrink his neck and said fawningly,

"My loyalty to Boss is evident to the sun and moon! This thing, I think it appeared in my inherited memories."

"But I just woke up not long ago, so I really can't remember the exact location."

Lin Mu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said, "I think you really don't want those three dog heads anymore."

The Three-Headed Dog was so frightened by Lin Mu's gaze that it took a few steps back.

It stammered in defense:

"I really can't remember, but I vaguely recall seeing it in a tiger demon's territory."

"Tiger demon?"
