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

If one's physical body and spiritual foundation are insufficient, they cannot withstand the violent medicinal power. Once one pill is exhausted, they will fall into weakness, and taking two pills in a row will only cause their body to explode and their spiritual essence to perish.

Su Mu's Imperial Body and Imperial Spirit far surpassed the imagination of ordinary people, possessing profound foundation and invincible roots.

The immense medicinal power instantly washed over his entire body, restoring all his depleted spiritual energy. The dim purple-gold mystic fire blazed brightly once more, and his combat power instantly broke through his limits, surpassing his usual peak!

The black mist had not completely dissipated and continued to suppress the divine senses of everyone present. Neither side could set up formations or unleash large-scale spells, and the power of their martial spirits was also weakened.

The battle instantly returned to a level playing field, with players engaging in close-quarters combat.

The black-gold puppet fiercely attacked the early-stage sword cultivator, engaging in a protracted and relentless battle.

Holding a black spear, Su Mu advanced instead of retreating, charging straight at the mid-stage Martial Emperor sword cultivator!

The white-bearded old man charged back fearlessly, his eyes sharp and his fighting spirit rising.

A swordsman's life is one of constant struggle and fierce fighting; he will never back down if there is even a sliver of hope for victory. It is precisely this obsessive nature that often leads to his downfall.

The two instantly closed in, and a fierce battle broke out again!

Su Mu thrust his spear straight forward, its sharpness domineering.

The old man dodged to the side, slashing horizontally with his longsword. The sword move was cunning and aimed directly at Su Mu's head—his entire body was protected by a magical garment, but his head was the only weak point!

Su Mu had anticipated this, and with a flick of his wrist, he used his spear to block, using the sturdy spear shaft to directly clash with the opponent's top-grade longsword.

The sound of metal clashing was deafening and explosive!

Just as the weapons of both sides clashed fiercely and the distance between them closed to the extreme, Su Mu's eyes suddenly lit up with divine light, and his Heavenly Illusionary Divine Eyes were suddenly activated!

In an instant, the giant sword martial image floating outside the white-bearded old man's body froze and stopped, and the flow of spiritual energy around him was interrupted!

Compared to his previous battle against the Martial Emperor of the Witch Clan, Su Mu's current Overlord Body is stronger, his Profound Fire has advanced, and his medicinal power has been amplified. His attack speed and explosive power are now completely different from before.

The moment the pupil technique imprisoned him, he decisively released his grip and discarded the spear. He concentrated all his spiritual power at his fingertips and unleashed a God-Slaying Finger!

At extremely close range and at extremely high speed, the opponent's martial arts stance froze, leaving them with no way to borrow strength and no time to dodge!

In the face of death, the old man could only forcefully turn his head to the side, abandoning the vital parts of his head, and use his chest to take the fatal finger strike head-on!

puff!

The God-Slaying Finger struck the old man's chest with a thud, instantly shattering the layers of protective energy around him.

The old man was dressed in a top-grade earth-rank treasure robe, which provided unparalleled defense. In the end, he managed to block the piercing and killing force of the fingertip, but the terrifying power contained in the God-Slaying Finger was completely poured into his body!

The powerful Xuan body was instantly damaged, and its foundation collapsed!

The old man was sent flying backward uncontrollably, spitting out a mouthful of scalding blood. His powerful aura instantly weakened and collapsed, and he was severely injured!

His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

He was certain that Su Mu was exhausted and weak, and his combat power had dropped drastically. He thought it was a golden opportunity to kill him, but in the end, he was the one who misjudged and sought his own death!

"This boy is no match for us! Run!"

The white-bearded old man knew that the situation was hopeless. Unable to transmit his thoughts through divine sense in the black mist, he could only roar sharply to warn others.

Upon hearing the commotion, the young swordsman who was engaged in combat nearby abandoned the battle without hesitation, turned around, and fled into the air, trying his best to escape the black mist.

Su Mu did not send any puppets to pursue and kill them.

The black mist has dissipated, the strange race has been wiped out, and the rules of heaven and earth have returned to normal. The Martial Emperor Sword Cultivator's movement technique is extremely fast. Once he escapes the black mist, he can activate a high-level escape technique talisman to travel thousands of miles away, making it impossible to intercept him.

He could let one person go, but he would never let this seriously injured mid-stage Martial Emperor go!

"Those who dare to launch a sneak attack must be prepared to die!"

Su Mu's eyes were cold and sharp as he took steps to pursue.

The white-bearded old man endured his injuries and desperately fled out of the black mist.

The next instant, the black-gold puppet shifted sideways, instantly blocking all its escape routes and firmly preventing it from fleeing!

The white-bearded old man, who was in the mid-stage of the Martial Emperor realm, had his Xuan body severely injured by the God-Slaying Finger, his foundation shattered and his blood and qi in chaos.

Advanced sword techniques and deadly sword skills all require a strong and stable foundation of profound spiritual energy. His physical body is currently severely damaged, and the high-speed circulation of his spiritual energy will only further damage his meridians and worsen his injuries.

If one forces oneself to fight with all one's might again, the ultimate result will be the collapse of one's Xuan body, the loss of all one's cultivation, and the complete annihilation of one's Xuan spirit, Xuan fire, and martial appearance.

He simply cannot afford such a price!

With no way to advance or retreat and pursuers behind, the old man made a snap decision and resolutely abandoned the shackles of his physical body!

True spirits can fight outside the body, and powerful martial emperors who have cultivated profound spirits can even temporarily separate their profound spirits from their physical bodies!

hum-

A dazzling and sharp spiritual light shot into the sky, and the old man's profound spiritual energy flew out from his body!

This Xuanling is tall and majestic, surrounded by fine sword-patterned spiritual light. He is clad in sword-dao battle armor and tightly grips a top-grade earth-rank longsword. His sword energy soars to the sky, and his awe-inspiring presence is like that of a living sword god!

The old man decisively handed over his top-grade longsword to Xuanling, who then confronted Su Mu's pursuit head-on. He himself controlled his damaged body, martial spirit, and Xuan fire to hold back the Mo Jin puppet, fighting and retreating as he desperately tried to break through the encirclement.

He had a clear plan in mind.

Xuanling's combat power is exceptional, enough to hold off Su Mu for a moment, giving him a chance to escape. As long as his physical body escapes and he preserves his Martial Aspect Profound Flame, he can rebuild Xuanling after his injuries heal. Although his strength will be greatly reduced, he can still survive.

Holding a black spear, Su Mu faced the sword cultivator Xuan Ling, who was rushing towards him from mid-air, and they instantly engaged in fierce combat.

Xuanling, a mid-stage Martial Emperor sword cultivator, possesses extremely strong foundations. His entire body is imbued with pure sword intent, his swordsmanship is exquisite, his speed is unparalleled, and he is fearless and tireless, with continuous and flawless attacks.

In the instant of the exchange, Su Mu keenly sensed a familiar yet peculiar aura.

"The aura of a sword embryo!"

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

This mysterious spirit has actually fused with and refined a high-level sword embryo!

Sword embryos are already the most precious treasures of swordsmanship, and high-level sword embryos are even more priceless and extremely rare.

At that moment, he completely changed his mind.

Originally, the plan was to kill the old man directly, but now it seems that capturing this Xuanling, which has fused with a high-level sword embryo, is far more valuable than killing his physical body!

On the other side, the old man, using the Martial Profound Fire to restrain the puppet, successfully broke out of the black mist and escaped into the sky.

According to the original plan, after he was about to escape, he would immediately recall his separated spiritual spirit, abandon his combat power, and preserve his foundation.

Su Mu had already seen through his thoughts.

Just as the old man stepped out of the black mist and was about to recall Xuanling, Su Mu raised his hand and offered up a high-grade Earth-rank Golden Net Talisman!

hum!

Golden spiritual light spread out, transforming into a boundless giant net that instantly and firmly imprisoned the sword cultivator Xuanling!

Enraged, Xuanling wielded a top-grade longsword and slashed wildly, his sword energy crisscrossing and constantly bombarding the golden net.

With the power of a top-grade longsword, breaking through the net was only a matter of time, but it was impossible to break free from the restraints instantly.

Outside the black mist, the white-bearded old man looked at Xuanling, who was trapped tightly, and his expression changed drastically. He thought to himself that something was wrong!

At the same time, the black-gold puppet followed closely behind, using its indestructible Vajra body to fiercely attack the old man's broken flesh.

The old man Xuan was severely injured and his combat strength had plummeted, leaving him with no ability to fight for long.

He abandoned Xuanling this time to save his own life and escape. Now that he has escaped, he dares not turn back to rescue him or seek his own death.

With a determined look, the old man severed his mental connection with the Xuanling, no longer coveting this Xuanling with its unparalleled power. In a flash, he sped away, disappearing into the horizon.

Although abandoning a fused sword embryo caused his cultivation foundation to plummet and his future path to be damaged, at least he was able to save his life and preserve his martial arts foundation.

This is the painful price he has to pay for his misjudgment and greedy sneak attack!

After the old man completely disappeared, the black-gold puppet returned to the black mist and went back to Su Mu's side.

At this moment, the sword cultivator Xuanling had already broken through the golden net and escaped, but after a brief period of confinement and depletion, his condition had already declined.

Su Mu and the Mo Jin puppet joined forces once again, launching a pincer attack and encircling the enemy layer by layer.

Without the support of its original form and without anyone to replenish its spiritual power, a mystical spirit is ultimately like a tree without roots or water without a source.

After several fierce battles, the Xuanling light grew dimmer and its sword power gradually weakened. In the end, it was completely destroyed by Su Mu and the puppet, and disappeared into the world.
