Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

On his wrist, the Giant Tiger Bone Bracelet gleamed, continuously amplifying his arm strength.

The medicinal power of the Grade 5 Dragon Essence Pill was still circulating within his body.

The power of the Four Symbols Sword Formation reached its peak and was fully infused into Su Mu's body.

His right arm was wreathed in purple-gold true fire, with tiny arcs of lightning crackling and flashing. A phantom of a blue dragon coiled and floated around him, and the sword light behind him was as vast as the sea, his power terrifying beyond measure.

The enemy froze, this God-Slaying Finger strike was sure to hit!

Two fingers, sharp as sword blades, easily tore through the old man's protective aura and stabbed him hard on the forehead without any hindrance.

In order to resist the illusion and stabilize his soul, the old man took the initiative to withdraw his external martial image back into his sea of ​​consciousness. With no martial image protecting his body, Su Mu's ultimate finger strike easily broke through his defenses.

The old man, whose body was imprisoned, clearly sensed that the destructive power contained in that finger was enough to crush his own body.

At the critical moment of life and death, he gritted his teeth and activated the forbidden secret technique of the Witch Clan.

The Great Shaman disintegrates and escapes!

In an instant, the gray-robed old man's body was torn to pieces, and his flesh and blood exploded and scattered in all directions.

Su Mu initially thought that his God-Slaying Finger was too powerful, directly shattering the opponent's profound body and exploding his physical body.

But the next moment, he noticed something was wrong.

The scattered pieces of flesh and blood flew about, frantically fleeing while strangely coalescing in mid-air.

"What kind of bizarre secret technique is this?"

Su Mu frowned, a look of surprise on his face.

Once his flesh and blood body had reassembled, the gray-robed old man had already broken free from the confinement of the Four Symbols Sword Formation.

Without turning his head, he transformed into a streak of gray light and flew rapidly toward the southern horizon, disappearing in an instant at the edge of the world without a trace.

call out! !

The black spear followed closely behind the old man, transforming into a streak of black light that shot rapidly toward the southern horizon and disappeared in an instant.

"What a pity."

Su Mu felt a slight sense of regret.

However, upon further reflection, being able to force back a Martial Emperor-level expert was already a significant achievement. He had never expected to kill a Martial Emperor-level expert so easily.

The Wu Clan Martial Emperor managed to escape using his unique secret technique, but the remaining late-stage Martial King Wu Clan expert had nowhere to run.

Although this person's cultivation had reached the late stage of Martial King, with perfected Profound Spirit and a fully formed Profound Body, he was unable to use the Great Witch's Body Disintegration Escape technique.

His profound physical and spiritual foundations are far inferior to those of that veteran Martial Emperor.

Even the Martial Emperor had to pay a heavy price of damage to his origin and a sharp decline in his physique to use this secret technique. If the Martial King forcibly activated it, it would only lead to the collapse of both his Xuanling and Xuanti, resulting in his death and the dissipation of his Dao.

The next moment, Su Mu, along with his clone, joined forces with Xiao Yunshang to launch a fierce attack on the remaining Wu Clan Martial King.

This Wu Clan Martial King couldn't hold out for even a moment.

The Four Symbols Sword Formation firmly locked down the four directions, cutting off all possibility of escape; the pressure of the sword formation continued to crush him, reducing his combat power to less than one-tenth. In addition, Su Mu's clone relentlessly pursued him at close range, and Xiao Yunshang's thunderous whip launched a frenzied attack, instantly plunging him into a desperate situation.

After several exchanges, the Wu Clan Martial King suddenly perished, his Xuan Body shattered, and his Qi Sea Martial Soul and Consciousness Sea Xuan Spirit both escaped, only to be instantly torn apart by the sword light of the sword formation and completely dissipated.

Su Mu carried the two corpses of the Wu Clan Martial Kings and slowly descended back into the courtyard of the library.

He summoned Jinzi and handed it the two corpses to devour and refine. The refined Xuan body of the Wu Clan Martial King was an excellent tonic for Jinzi.

Both of the two Wu Clan Martial Kings carried storage magic treasures and precious weapons such as high-grade earth-rank scimitars, each of which was worth a fortune.

In this battle, Su Mu consumed a Grade 5 Dragon Essence Pill, a Clone Talisman, and a Body-Immobilizing Talisman, all of which were rare treasures. However, compared to the gains from this battle, it was definitely a huge profit.

"These spoils of war..."

Before Su Mu could finish speaking, Xiao Yunshang waved her hand and said calmly, "You personally killed both of these formidable enemies, so all the spoils are naturally yours."

Having said that, she said no more, leaped into the air, and flew to the Yangxin Palace to recuperate. The series of fierce battles, coupled with the backlash from her severe injuries, had taken a toll on her, and she desperately needed to recuperate.

Su Mu also turned around and went back to the second floor of the library.

Outside the gatehouse, Xiao Anran and Yutian stood side by side, sighing softly.

"There's no excitement to watch again."

From beginning to end, both women were convinced that the three powerful members of the Witch Clan who attacked were simply throwing their lives away. Their cultivation levels were low; although they could sense the overwhelming aura of their opponents, they couldn't truly comprehend the terrifying power of a Martial Emperor or Martial King. Their long-held belief had led them to accept that as long as Su Mu made a move, victory was assured.

Xiao Anxun and the others in the palace shared the same thoughts. The only variable was that when Xiao Yunshang was knocked off the pavilion by the Martial Emperor's pressure, their belief in victory wavered for a brief moment.

Inside the imperial city, the thousands of people recovered from the tense atmosphere and began to discuss the matter animatedly.

"Was that a powerful member of the Witch Clan who just flew over the palace?"

"There's no mistake! I've been to Wanjiang Yusu in the south and personally seen the Wu tribe members!"

"These mere members of the Witch Clan dare to trespass and cause trouble in the imperial city! They are utterly ignorant of their own limitations!"

"You don't understand martial arts; you're just watching the show. Those three powerful members of the Witch Clan are terrifyingly strong!"

"Strange, why have so many top-tier experts I've never heard of suddenly appeared lately?"

"No matter how powerful they are, in the end they will still fall and be defeated!"

"I've heard that the Witch Clan has already left Wanjiang Yusu and conquered the two great marshes of the east and west. Now they dare to provoke the imperial city. I'm afraid the world will become more and more turbulent in the future."

"Yes, with monsters running rampant and alien races invading, the signs of a chaotic world are already evident."

"Who is that woman who just intervened and stopped the powerful enemy?"

"I don't know. The light in mid-air is too dazzling, and I can't see the face or figure at all."

"The Emperor Emeritus also made a move just now! Who would have thought that a palace eunuch would possess such extraordinary power..."

"Stop making such irresponsible remarks! The Emperor Emeritus is a pillar of the Qianlong Emperor; how can he be questioned so casually!"

……

In front of the library, Jinzi, having consumed the two Xuan bodies, did not follow Su Mu upstairs. Instead, he lay prostrate at the door, lazily resting, preparing to digest the medicinal power and settle his cultivation.

As soon as Su Mu stepped onto the second-floor stairs, he heard Wen Qianzhu's gentle voice.

"Su Song, your father is really amazing."

Holding her infant child, she murmured softly, "He could even defeat a Martial Emperor, forcing him to use a secret technique to escape. Your father was underestimated before."

Su Mu chuckled upon hearing this and slowly approached: "I only managed to drive them away, I didn't kill them, there's no need to boast like this to a child."

After saying that, he turned and went into his room.

Wen Qianzhu carried the child back to her room, still deeply shocked.

She had witnessed Su Mu kill a True Martial expert with a single sword strike before, and had already overestimated his strength. Now she realized that her so-called overestimation was actually an underestimation of Su Mu's foundation.

In terms of cultivation level alone, Su Mu had not yet condensed his true spirit, and was at most considered to be in the mid-stage of True Martial Realm. Yet, it was precisely this seemingly low level that allowed him to directly repel a Martial Emperor-level expert.

It's absolutely unbelievable to the average person.

Wen Qianzhu had long seen that Su Mu had forged a top-grade sword soul and wielded a top-tier true fire, and could not be measured by ordinary true martial cultivators. His true combat strength was already comparable to that of a mid-stage Martial King.
