Mortal: Starting with the Falling Cloud Sect, I proved my Dao through gacha pulls.

"Please lend a helping hand, fellow Daoist! My Hu family will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mu merely glanced at it indifferently, remaining unmoved.

The woman gritted her teeth and hardened her heart, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"The Fu family ambushed and killed us, solely to seize the Spirit Eye Jade from our bodies, intending to use this treasure to help their clan's guardian spirit beast break through to level five!"

Upon hearing this, the Fu family members were instantly filled with shock and anger.

Several cultivators simultaneously unleashed their magical artifacts, completely surrounding Su Mu, clearly unwilling to let such a secret be leaked in the slightest.

Su Mu's gaze turned cold. In order to extricate himself, the Hu family was willing to throw out information about the secret treasure, clearly trying to drag him into the mess.

These words, however, did pique his interest.

"The Jade of the Spirit Eye..."

These spiritual eye objects are extremely rare. The most famous ones should be the spiritual eye trees of the three sects of Yunmeng, which are known as one of the three great divine trees in the cultivation world.

Seeing that Su Mu's expression relaxed slightly, the pseudo-Core Formation cultivator, led by the Fu family, immediately cupped his hands and warned in a chilling tone:

"This is a private matter for my family, please do not interfere..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, and a crimson nail pierced through the air, heading straight for Su Mu's face.

But to his utter surprise, just as he was about to launch his attack, Su Mu also threw out a round bead wreathed in lightning, intending to launch a preemptive strike while he was speaking.

"Despicable scoundrel!"

The two cursed inwardly at the same time, and then quickly set up their magical artifacts to defend against the attack.

There was a sizzling sound.

The lightning pearl exploded with a deafening roar that echoed in all directions. Caught off guard, the Fu family cultivator hastily summoned an umbrella-shaped magical artifact to protect himself while retreating rapidly. The Fu family disciples beside him also cast spells in unison, working together to resist the raging lightning waves.

As the lightning erupted, several Fu family disciples who were nearby were instantly reduced to dust. The umbrella-shaped magic weapon was scorched black by the lightning and fell from the sky in a broken state.

The leader, a pseudo-core cultivator, barely survived thanks to the cushioning effect of his magic artifact, but his clothes were charred, his skin was smoking, and a foul stench of burning permeated the air.

He hurriedly took out a pill and swallowed it, his eyes filled with extreme resentment as he looked at Su Mu.

"Tian Lei Zi?! He's truly wicked!"

He was still in shock, feeling a lingering fear, and his eyes were filled with malice as he looked at Su Mu.

On the other side, facing the incoming Black Blood Nails, Su Mu raised his hand and suspended the Molten Fire Prison Seal above his head, instantly enveloping his body with immense suppressive power.

The blood nail froze in mid-air under the pressure of the magic seal. Su Mu grabbed it casually and crushed it to pieces with his fingertips.

"Black Blood Nails? How vicious!"

Su Mu snorted coldly, his fingertips rapidly forming hand seals, and countless fireballs suddenly condensed behind him, transforming into a rain of fire that bombarded all the Fu family cultivators present.

The Fu family was thrown into chaos. Some used spells, while others took out talismans to defend against the incoming fire rain and barely managed to stabilize their position.

Under the command of their leader, several Foundation Establishment cultivators simultaneously unleashed various magical artifacts, transforming them into sharp sword beams and blade lights that rained down on Su Mu like a tidal wave.

Su Mu's expression remained unchanged as his vast true essence surged wildly into the Molten Fire Prison Seal.

The Molten Hell Seal spun in the air, and layers of crimson fire shields suddenly unfolded, blocking all attacks.

With a gentle wave of his hand, dozens of fire chains shot out like nimble snakes, instantly binding several Fu family cultivators tightly.

The trapped person felt their spiritual energy stagnate, as if they were hanging in mid-air like a rice dumpling, with raging flames constantly burning their flesh, and their shrill screams echoing through the sky.

"Not good! Abandon the encirclement and form ranks immediately!"

Seeing the critical situation, the leader of the pseudo-core cultivators immediately ordered the cultivators who were originally surrounding the four members of the Hu family to return and help, intending to join forces to take down Su Mu first.

The remaining Fu family cultivators dared not hesitate and quickly gathered to form an array. Once the array was complete, a strange, emerald-green flame surged forth, heading straight for Su Mu.

The four trapped cultivators surnamed Hu were overjoyed at the sight and took the opportunity to break free from the encirclement.

Instead of offering help, they set up a trapping formation, trapping Su Mu and the Fu family members inside, and then fled without looking back on their magical artifacts.

They actually planned to use Su Mu's power to hold off the Fu family and buy themselves a chance to escape.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu's lips curled into a cold smile.

He neither dodged nor avoided the blazing green flames, allowing them to assault him, while the Fallen Heart Flame within his body suddenly began to circulate.

He slightly opened his mouth and gently inhaled. The fierce and eerie flame was absorbed into his stomach as if he were drinking water, and was instantly devoured and refined by the Fallen Heart Flame.

Upon seeing this, the Fu family members were terrified, their souls nearly leaving their bodies, and their skin turned ice-cold.

This secret technique of combined fire attacks, obtained from the Demon Flame Sect, was actually swallowed whole by this person before me? How could someone with such strength possibly be at the Foundation Establishment stage!

"You like playing with fire, huh? Well, then you can play with it to your heart's content!"

After Su Mu had completely refined the raging flames, he opened his mouth and exhaled, sending a colorless flame soaring into the sky, transforming into a giant fire python several meters long. The python's vertical pupils were cold, and it indifferently stared at everyone present.

The moment the snake's eyes swept over them, all the Fu family cultivators were overwhelmed by inner demons, and strange inner fires inexplicably ignited within their bodies, instantly setting their true essence ablaze.

The remaining Qi Refining cultivators on the field didn't even have time to scream before they turned into clusters of flickering torches.

The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators also had flames erupting from their seven orifices. The formation could no longer be maintained, and the group fell from the sky like dumplings.

Only the pseudo-Core Formation cultivator barely held on; his face was deathly pale, and he threatened sharply:

"If you, senior, are to pursue us to the bitter end, my Fu family will fight you to the death! You should think carefully about the consequences!"

Su Mu's expression was indifferent as he lightly twirled his fingers.

The giant python formed from the Fallen Heart Flame immediately opened its massive jaws and swept towards and devoured the Fu family members.

Seeing that his threats were useless, the leading cultivator let out a mournful and desperate laugh before turning into ashes.

[Defeat a group of Foundation Establishment Realm enemies, +11 lives]

Current Life Number: 176

Su Mu collected all the storage bags scattered on the ground, took a step and rushed to the front of the trapping formation. He flicked his finger, and the formation shattered instantly.

He activated the Rainbow Shuttle, transforming his body into a sharp rainbow light, and chased straight after the four members of the Hu family who had fled.

At this moment, the four members of the Hu family were fleeing at full speed.

"Second sister, how long do you think that cultivator could hold out? That trapping formation was just a simple one; it couldn't hold the Fu family for long."

"The Fu family has a total of six Foundation Establishment cultivators, plus an old dog at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage. That kid won't last long."

"It's alright. Just give us a little more time, and we can fly back to the nearest market. At that time, the Fu family will definitely not dare to make a move!"

"It's just a pity about that kid's Yin Sha Fruit seed; it seems it's going to be..."

Before the four had finished speaking, a scorching heat wave suddenly swept over them from behind.

They turned around in a panic, only to see Su Mu speeding towards them on his flying shuttle, his cold gaze locking onto them.

"How...how could it be him?! Are all the members of the Fu family dead?"

"Could this person not be a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but a Core Formation senior in disguise?!"

The four were terrified. In their panic, they immediately stopped using their ritual implements, forced themselves to bow respectfully, and their voices trembled:

"S-Senpai!"

Su Mu was too lazy to say anything more. With a flick of his finger, a fire python formed from the Fallen Heart Flame roared out.

The last thing the four members of the Hu family saw was that all-consuming, heaven-burning maw...
