I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

"You're being far too arrogant, wishing for this."

Senji, caught in the eye of the lightning, struggled desperately: "You think you can defeat the ten masters of the Antimony Tree all by yourself? That's just wishful thinking."

"If I die, I die. From the moment I stepped into this place, I was prepared to die here."

"Now that you're going to be buried with me, I'm not at a loss."

With a calm expression, Xu Yuan stood on the treetop, still with one hand behind his back, constantly tapping in the air, sending out countless invisible streams of true energy that formed ripples.

"Those who are no better than chickens and dogs are also called masters."

"Your methods are nothing more than stealing the scraps from us."

They were your ancestors before, and they are still your ancestors now.

"If you're made to kneel, none of you will stand."

With a shout of anger, Xu Yuan increased the force in his hand, and Sen Er fell to his knees with a thud, becoming the same height as the surrounding stone towers.

With a flick of his sword, countless bolts of lightning passed through his body, connecting the nine stone towers. The towers then gathered power and quickly connected with the purple flames burning in the distance, transforming into a massive Qiankun Diagram.

Whoosh...

One by one, the chains of fire in the distance went out, and the black clouds of mist that enveloped the flames broke apart.

The log, sitting cross-legged in the woods at the foot of the mountain, had a furrowed brow, bulging veins on his forehead, and was soaked in sweat.

Without support from other directions, he found it increasingly difficult to fight off the powerful attacks from the ridge alone.

"No, that shouldn't be the case."

Yuanmu was somewhat confused about what had happened: "At most, there were only four or five people who broke the formation. Could it be that they've received reinforcements?"

He strongly suspected that Xu Yuan and Qingzhen had come from the mountain to help him; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to achieve such results with just Xu Yuan and Qingzhen.

While he was wondering what was going on, someone rushed to his side.

"Master, the seventh array eye has been broken, now there are only three left, what should we do?"

"Did you see what's happening up the mountain?"

How many of them are there? How is Moriji doing?

"I glanced at it before I came, and it seems... it seems..." The apprentice stammered, unsure how to begin.

"What does it look like?"

The apprentice gritted his teeth and said truthfully, "It seems there's only Xu Yuan."

"What did you say?" Yuanmu asked, his face filled with disbelief.

"You're saying that out of the ten of us, only Xu Yuan is fighting against us?"

"Impossible, how could that be? He must have accomplices."

"It's absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes."

Moreover, Mori-kun has already become his tool.

"The three Taoist priests who came in earlier also made their move. It took the three of them working together to break through one of our points."

Boom…

Before he could finish speaking, another bolt of lightning struck down from the horizon. As the log looked up, the last chain of fire was completely extinguished.

"It's over."

He stopped, looked down at the three lit incense sticks in front of him, which had long since gone out.

"Heaven is not on my side."

"Pack your things, let's go."

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. This defeat will allow him to go back, summarize his experiences, and make a comeback.

"Is it too late to leave now?"

The sound of a wish came from the sky. Yuanmu looked around warily, while his apprentice raised the gun in his hand and pointed it into the air.

"Who is it?"

"The matter isn't over yet, and you're leaving like this? Don't you feel regretful?"

The sound of making a wish rang out again, and the log suddenly raised its head to look towards the distant mountain ridge, as if the sound was coming from there.

"Since you're already here, stay and nourish the dragon veins of China with your blood and flesh."

"Thunder...appears..."

With a loud bang, a bolt of purple lightning flashed across the sky and struck the log squarely on its head.

"If I die, you won't live either."

In his final moments, Yuanmu threw out several talismans. He was struck by lightning and turned into dust, while the talismans transformed into a purple light.

puff…

Blood suddenly spurted from the mouth of the wishing creature standing on the treetop, and it swayed as if it had almost fallen.

"Senior Brother Xu."

Qingzhen and Qingxuan rushed to the tree and anxiously reached out their hands.

Xu Yuan steadied himself, spat out a mouthful of blood, and a bitter smile appeared on his pale face.

Unexpectedly, in its dying moments, the log used its last bit of soul to deliver a fatal blow.

The extraction of his soul means that he cannot fall into the next cycle of reincarnation.

"How much do they hate me? They actually resorted to this trick in the end."

The wish backfired, and coupled with the previous physical exertion, he felt weak all over.

He mustered his strength, gathered his last bit of power, and leaped down from the treetop, pointing his sword at Moriji's brow.

"Go forth and protect the dragon vein of our Chinese nation for generations to come."

Moriji's body instantly transformed into a streak of green light and burrowed directly into the ground.

The lightning disappeared, the purple light faded, the dark clouds on the horizon dispersed, and the sky cleared as if nothing had happened.

"Did it work?"

Qingzhen, pulling Qingxuan and Qingben along, couldn't help but get excited. Wang Qiang and the others, belatedly realizing what was happening, also smiled happily.

puff…

Xu Yuan spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed straight down in the middle of the nine stone towers.

"Senior Brother Xu."

Upon seeing this, the cheering group rushed to Xu Yuan's side in a panic.

After getting off the plane, Yunhe and his apprentice Luo Zuoyou rushed over. Seeing the lightning disappear and the dark clouds dissipate, they looked up at the sky in shock.

"It worked?"

"Master, it must be Junior Brother Lu Da. I never expected that Junior Brother could accomplish such a feat." Luo Zuoyou couldn't hide his excitement.

Yunhe remained silent, his pace quickening.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the bushes; it was the guard that Wang Qiang had sent to keep watch on the perimeter.

After verifying Yunhe and Luo Zuoyou's identities, someone led them forward.

At the foot of the hill, Lu Da, who had been waiting there, saw his teacher and senior brother and ran up to greet them.

"Teacher, senior brother, you've finally arrived."

"Junior Brother Lu, you're amazing!"

Luo looked Lu Da up and down carefully, as if they were meeting for the first time.

"A scholar should be treated with new respect after three days of separation."

I never imagined you could accomplish such a feat.

"You're going to surpass your senior brother this time."

"Tell me quickly, how did you do that?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Da looked embarrassed and didn't know how to begin.

"Senior brother, I didn't actually do anything?"

"Junior Brother Lu, don't be modest. Master and I both saw it."

You summoned heavenly lightning, engaged in a magical battle with someone, and won a brilliant victory.

"But, you're not hurt, are you?"

Master said that the last person seemed to have been a soul-snatcher who delivered the fatal blow. I see you don't seem to be injured.

Lu Da's face flushed red. He glanced at Master Yunhe out of the corner of his eye and saw that he remained silent. He knew that nothing could be hidden from his master.

"The credit isn't mine."

"The one who truly battled the log was someone else; he was injured in the cave."

Yunhe remained silent, his feet barely touching the ground as he swiftly made his way towards the cave Lu Da pointed out.

He knew his apprentice's abilities quite well.

If Lu Da had dared to say that he had won the fight, he would have expelled him from the sect immediately.

Meanwhile, a number of vehicles arrived at the foot of the mountain one after another.

The commotion just now was quite significant; the nearby martial arts practitioners all felt it.
