After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 249 Fighting Four Venerables
The old man in black, radiating an earthy yellow glow, stood atop the massive stone dragon's head, exuding an imposing and oppressive aura.

However, it and the stone dragon beneath its feet, which was tens of feet long, seemed to be captured by an invisible force, struggling as if they were about to rise from the ground and fly towards the sky.

The old man in black's expression changed immediately. His original intention was to lie in ambush underground, hoping to catch Li Musheng off guard when he launched a surprise attack on the top of Baixiang Pavilion.

But to his surprise, even though he had concealed himself and blended into the earth, Li Musheng still managed to detect him.

This surprised him greatly, but also made him wary. He realized that the other party was no ordinary person, as he could defeat Senior Brother Chi Huo.

In an instant, the old man in black became more cautious in his actions, and spared no effort!
The next moment, he stomped heavily on the head of the stone dragon, and the world around him seemed to beat like a drum. Black rock ridges rose instantly from the cracked bluestone street, like an earth dragon turning over.

Then they entangled themselves and climbed up the massive body of the rising stone dragon, as if connecting with the power of the earth, trying to wrestle with Li Musheng, who was sitting on the roof of Baixiang Pavilion.

At the same time, the bricks of the surrounding houses collapsed, peeled off, and reassembled, quickly forming hundreds of stone spears pointing directly at the top of Baixiang Pavilion in mid-air.

The entire neighborhood surrounding Baixiang Pavilion was filled with surging earth bones, as if the ground was being torn and deformed by some enormous force, and then transformed into ferocious rock tigers several meters tall. Their eyes were dark and their claws were like millstones, slamming into the ground and stirring up a sandstorm that spun like a meat grinder. They leaped one after another onto the massive stone dragon's body.

The condensed stone spears burst forth in an instant, transforming into a rain of spears raining down from below.

Faced with the old man in black's attack, Li Musheng glanced down, and all the spears that shot towards him in an instant were imprisoned half a zhang away, and then dissipated into dust that fell all over the sky.

The stone dragon, which was dozens of feet long, and the old man in black standing on its head, continued to fly towards the top of the pavilion without stopping.

No matter how many rock dragons surged out from the ground and used the power of the earth to climb and pull, no matter how many rock tigers dragged them with their gravity, they could never stop the force that Li Musheng had captured.

"Master, senior brothers, why don't you make a move immediately!"

The old man in black looked grim and raised his head to shout in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he slapped his palms against the stone dragon's skull beneath him. Instantly, a powerful and vast force spread down the entire massive body of the stone dragon.

Immediately afterwards, the ground below rippled like a giant whale wagging its tail, and more than a dozen streets twisted like living pythons, all pulling the rising stone dragon with tremendous force through the invisible ropes formed by the power extending from the old man in black's body.

After the old man in black spoke, the sect leader of Luoshen Peak, who was suspended above the clouds, and the two old men hidden among the clouds finally stopped watching.

In that short time, they were able to confirm that the young man in front of them was indeed extremely powerful in martial arts.

They had hoped to find a weakness in Li Musheng's attack, but he didn't use any martial arts techniques at all. His only move was a grab against the old man in black, which seemed to be flawless.

"We must go all out!"

The sect leader of Luoshen Peak spoke solemnly and indifferently, facing a master like Li Musheng with such powerful martial arts skills.

Since they chose to attack together as a group of four, they had no intention of holding back and were determined to use swift and decisive methods to defeat their opponent.

Moreover, Li Musheng's arrogant and overbearing attitude just now did indeed anger the sect leader of Luoshen Peak.

Actually, when he saw that Li Musheng was so young yet possessed such powerful martial arts skills, he guessed that he must have a great secret.

I had originally planned to capture him alive and interrogate him to uncover his secrets, but now it seems better to crush him to death.

Of course, if the other party can barely survive, then the interrogation can continue; if they cannot survive, then the interrogation can only be stopped.

The thought flashed by in an instant, but the sect leader of Luoshen Peak bristled with anger and struck with lightning speed.

The next instant, his eyes snapped open, and streaks of purple lightning shot out, tearing through the night sky. The clouds around him instantly collapsed into a pool of lightning, and at the same time, he pressed down with both palms, the lightning patterns on his palms like a thousand snakes devouring each other.

In an instant, the entire void was filled with spiderweb-like cracklings of electricity, thunderous magma poured down, all drums fell silent, and light blades intertwined to weave a vast net of lightning, which then converged into a chain of thunder that crashed down upon Li Musheng.

An old man who was originally hidden in the clouds had his robes billowing and his body was radiating a dazzling blue light like fireflies in purgatory.

His withered fingers swept across the air, instantly creating hurricane blades. He manipulated the fierce winds of heaven and earth, condensing them into a tornado vortex. Meanwhile, the clouds in the sky condensed into a rain of sharp blades and hail under the endless wind force, which swept towards Li Musheng in a terrifying storm.

Visibly, where the eye of the storm collapsed, the void itself became a black hole devoid of light.

The last remaining old man had moved at some point and appeared about ten feet behind Li Musheng.

His gray-white eyes were fixed on Li Musheng's figure sitting on the roof ridge, and then suddenly burst out with a dazzling silver light.

Wherever the gaze falls, time seems to freeze; the entire world is imprisoned, even the twilight is nailed to the void, and even the dust is frozen in this moment…

Just then, Li Musheng suddenly turned his head and looked at the old man who had appeared behind him:
"Even if ten more people like you came, the outcome wouldn't change."

Upon seeing this, the old man with gray eyes instantly changed his expression.

Logically speaking, everything within his gaze should be immobilized, including the several-foot-high space at the top of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, including Li Musheng's, as if it were frozen.

However, none of this worked on Li Musheng?

At this moment, both the chains of thunder and the eye of the storm that could destroy the world were blocked three feet away from Li Musheng's body.

Beyond three feet, wind and thunder destroy the world, and all things cease to exist.

Within three feet, the wind was calm and the waves were still.

Meanwhile, the old man in black and the stone dragon, which was dozens of feet long, slowly rose up and stopped in the void in front of Li Musheng.

Even with all his efforts, the old man in black could not shake Li Musheng's hold on him.

"how is this possible?"

The headmaster of Luoshen Peak, high above the clouds, looked down, his aged face suddenly becoming extremely ugly.

"He managed to block that? Such terrifying defense, what kind of martial arts technique does he cultivate?"

The old man who controlled the storm came to the side of the sect leader of Luoshen Peak. Even though he did his best, he still couldn't touch Li Musheng below, let alone cause him any harm.

"What a fuss."

Li Musheng slowly raised his head and glanced at the two leaders of Luoshen Peak through the thunder and storm above.

Then, he stretched out a finger and pointed it directly at the old man in black on the stone dragon from a distance.

Upon seeing this scene, the old man in black was terrified. However, he was completely bound by an invisible aura from Li Musheng and could not escape.

"Master, save me..."

The old man in black opened his eyes wide and immediately roared.

However, a gaping hole appeared in his head, and his life force quickly vanished.

At the same time, the enormous stone dragon beneath its feet also collapsed.

The black earth dragons and ferocious rock tigers coiled around them lost their support in an instant, then plummeted helplessly, crashing onto the ruins of the street below. "How dare you!"

The old man, who stood suspended about ten feet away from Li Musheng, was furious and roared.

He had a close relationship with the old man in black. Although they were not officially master and disciple, he had been teaching and cultivating the old man wholeheartedly since his master passed away.

The relationship between the two could be described as that of father and son. Now, seeing the old man in black dead, he was filled with grief and indignation, unable to contain himself.

At this moment, after hearing the gray-eyed old man's angry shout, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow and then turned to look at him.

Without saying anything more, he slowly raised his palm again.

Upon witnessing this scene, the gray-eyed old man suddenly came to his senses, and his expression changed drastically.

He couldn't care less about his grief and turned to run away without saying a word.

He didn't even ask the sect leader of Luoshen Peak for help, because he knew very well that even if all four of them used their methods together, they couldn't do anything to Li Musheng. Even if the other two of them took action, they wouldn't be able to stop him.

As for staying behind to fight Li Musheng to the death, that's out of the question. How can you fight if you can't even break through the opponent's defenses three feet away? That would be no different from suicide!

In his view, there was only one way out: to escape.

It is said that nothing is perfect and no one is flawless. It is simply unimaginable that someone so young could possess such terrifying defensive and offensive capabilities.

He didn't believe that the other party was truly omnipotent, and equally powerful in terms of movement and speed.

At this moment, Li Musheng looked at the gray-eyed old man who had just disappeared into the distance and slowly shook his head.

Then, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant, and the next moment, the gray-eyed old man who had just fled far away was suddenly sent flying back.

Immediately afterwards, it crashed down into the street ditch below Baixiang Pavilion, and at this moment, there was a gaping hole in the head of the gray-eyed old man.

On that old face with gray eyes, an expression of utter shock and horror was frozen, clearly indicating that he never expected that he had guessed wrong!

At the same time, Li Musheng's figure reappeared from the top of Baixiang Pavilion. He looked up and saw that the sect leader of Luoshen Peak and another old man, who had been floating above the clouds, were nowhere to be seen. Only the dark clouds in the sky remained, with wisps of wind and thunder still raging.

With a wave of his hand, Li Musheng wiped out all the remaining wind and thunder power with the invisible true energy of heaven and earth.

The next instant, Li Musheng's figure disappeared from the rooftop once again.

At the same time, the old man, whose body was surrounded by a violent surge of azure light and whose figure transformed into a swift gust of wind, disappeared into the clouds and fled, glancing back once.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual behind him and that Li Musheng was not catching up, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In terms of speed and agility, even the sect leader of Luoshen Peak cannot compare to him. If he wants to leave, no one can stop him.

"Presumably, that person cannot catch up with me and will go after my nephew, Master."

The old man pondered in his heart, but showed no sign of slacking off or stopping.

"With such terrifying martial arts masters in the Great Li Dynasty, Luo Shen Peak is doomed this time. If the sect leader can survive, Luo Shen Peak may still have a chance to rise again."

"If my nephew, the sect leader, were to perish, I would have no choice but to serve one of the other three major sects to protect myself and seek revenge later."

He didn't blame the leader of Luoshen Peak for not figuring out Li Musheng's true strength before urging them to make a move.

After all, Li Musheng came from the Dali Dynasty. Even if they didn't take action, the other party would come knocking on their door and wouldn't let them go.

He was only frustrated that the Dali Dynasty had such a terrifying martial arts master as Li Musheng. The strength he displayed was probably comparable to the three legendary martial gods in the martial arts world.

But where did the Great Li get its martial god?

As he thought to himself, the old man, his face grim, hurriedly fled towards the outskirts of the Fallen God Peak sect territory.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and abruptly looked up.

But then, from the darkness ahead, a figure appeared as if it had materialized out of thin air, slowly emerging.

The old man, who had transformed into a gust of wind, suddenly stopped.

The next moment, he froze, his face showing disbelief and shock.

"You...how could you be so fast!"

The old man was struck dumb as he looked at Li Musheng who appeared in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man, calmly saying:

"To be honest, you're actually quite fast, but compared to me, you're still too slow!"

After saying that, Li Musheng pointed a finger at the other party.

Upon seeing this, the old man felt a chill run down his spine and was terrified. Without thinking twice, he immediately took action to defend against Li Musheng's terrifying finger-killing technique.

However, it was impossible to stop him, or rather, Li Musheng's finger strike was simply too fast.

Before he could even make a move, his head was instantly pierced by a powerful aura, and then his entire body was swept away by a tremendous force, flying back the way it came in the direction of Baixiang Pavilion.

Li Musheng glanced at the old man's rapidly receding figure, but then stopped paying attention. His figure slowly disappeared from the spot and headed in the direction where the sect leader of Luoshen Peak had fled.

……

Boom!

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as an arm, suddenly struck down, hurtling towards the dark clouds ahead.

The sect leader of Luoshen Peak, his body crackling with lightning, suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with purple lightning as he stared intently at the clouds ahead.

But then, Li Musheng emerged from the clouds, holding a ball of purple lightning in his palm. With a gentle squeeze, he annihilated it all as scattered bolts of lightning.

The sect leader of Luoshen Peak narrowed his eyes and immediately raised his hand, causing streams of purple lightning to fall from the surrounding space.

Then, a series of lightning vortexes, like coiled electric pythons, condensed, protecting him like an iron barrel in the center of the lightning pool in mid-air.

"Young man, what will it take for you to let me go?"

The leader of Luoshen Peak did not attack Li Musheng, but instead asked in a deep voice.

He had no intention of attacking Li Musheng; his earlier actions had already proven that he was no match for him.
