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

His fists were covered with a thick layer of golden true energy, gleaming with golden light. The silver ring on his finger was quietly operating; it was a high-grade Xuan-level magic weapon that could amplify the power of his fists and palms! The golden true energy condensed into a huge fist shadow, with wisps of lightning wrapped around it—it was the high-level martial art, Thunderclap Fist!

The Thunderclap Fist is extremely powerful and masculine, and it excels at using force to overcome skill. Head-on confrontations are precisely the strength of this fist style!

boom!!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the courtyard, and multicolored true energy radiated in all directions. The entire library and the vast courtyard trembled violently, and dust flew everywhere.

However, what happened next left everyone speechless.

The bronze mace in Wei Zhongxian's hand was directly blasted away, rolling several times in the courtyard before coming to a stop! Wei Zhongxian himself was also shaken back by the tremendous force, taking five or six steps before he could barely steady himself, his face turning deathly pale.

"How is this possible?!" Wei Zhongxian's eyes were filled with disbelief. He never expected that Su Mu's fist would be so powerful!

Upon seeing this, the martial arts school master who had come with Wei Zhongxian's companion paled, his eyes filled with horror. He brandished his curved blade and immediately lunged at Su Mu, attempting to support Wei Zhongxian. But at that moment, Su Mu's figure flashed, transforming into a blur, directly bypassing him and charging towards Wei Zhongxian.

His speed was so fast that with so many people in the courtyard, it was impossible to track his movements!

With his Wind Leopard Boots running at full speed and the mysterious Phantom Steps, Su Mu's speed increased dramatically. In an instant, he arrived behind Wei Zhongxian and unleashed a powerful Vajra Hand, the palm wind fierce and devastating!

Wei Zhongxian had no time to react and could only activate his protective true essence to forcibly resist the attack!

"Bang!"

The next moment, Wei Zhongxian's protective true essence shattered, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. He slid forward several meters, his clothes torn, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, looking utterly miserable.

"This...this is not a Grandmaster at all, this is the strength of a Great Grandmaster!" Wei Zhongxian cried out in his heart. Although he was old and his strength was no longer at its peak, he was still a Grandmaster at the peak. Logically speaking, even if he was no match for Su Mu, he should have been able to hold his own. But in front of Su Mu, he was completely powerless to fight back!

He could clearly sense that Su Mu did not possess the unique essence fire and primordial energy phenomena characteristic of a Grandmaster, indicating that Su Mu had not broken through to the Grandmaster level! But why was there such a huge difference between two Grandmasters?

Before Wei Zhongxian could get up, Su Mu had already turned around and charged towards the martial arts school master.

This old man was no weakling; he was also a Grandmaster, and like Wei Zhongxian, he was already quite old. Among the young Grandmasters in the palace, only Xiao Anxun remained; the rest were all fighting valiantly against the demon race in the northern frontier.

Su Mu unleashed the Great Vajra Hand technique once again, his palm strike incredibly powerful.

Like Wei Zhongxian, the old man's protective true essence shattered instantly. His protective true essence was not as strong as Wei Zhongxian's to begin with, only blocking a small portion of the palm strike, with the remaining force blasting into him. Even with the protection of his Taoist robe, the old man couldn't help but spit out several mouthfuls of blood, his aura instantly weakening, and he completely lost his fighting ability.

For elderly martial artists, serious injury is the worst thing. Once injured, their vital energy is greatly depleted, and even if they recover, they will not live for long. In his current state, this serious injury is almost certainly fatal, with no possibility of recovery.

This scene left the four Innate Realm experts completely stunned, frozen in place, their eyes filled with fear and shock. Not only them, but even Feng Bao, who was guarding the door, couldn't believe his eyes. Although he knew his adoptive father was powerful, he had never imagined he was this strong!

Everyone in the palace knows that Wei Zhongxian is a master at the peak of the Grandmaster level, but in front of his adoptive father, he is like a child, powerless to resist. The two are not even in the same league!

Wei Zhongxian hadn't expected that Su Mu didn't have any grandmaster backing him up; his own strength was enough to crush everyone! He was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have dared to provoke Su Mu even if he had a hundred lives!

call!

Just as Wei Zhongxian struggled to get up and tried to resist, Su Mu appeared behind him like a ghost.

Wei Zhongxian dared not turn around and confront Su Mu head-on. He quickly dodged to the left, trying to avoid Su Mu's attack. This time, he barely managed to avoid Su Mu's golden handprint.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian no longer had the ruthlessness he had before; only fear remained in his heart. He only hoped that Xiao Anxun could arrive immediately and save his life.

Unfortunately, he would never live to see it.

Su Mu would never let him go. This old man kept saying he wanted to kill him to silence him, so how could he let him live? Moreover, Su Mu did not want Wei Zhongxian to become a stumbling block in the palace. If Wei Zhongxian died, he could rightfully control more power and become the real patriarch of the palace in the eyes of the world.

"It's not that I want you to die, it's that you're asking for it!"

Su Mu let out a cold shout and continuously used the Phantom Step to relentlessly pursue Wei Zhongxian without holding back.

In terms of speed, Wei Zhongxian was at a significant disadvantage. Neither the quality of his true essence nor the power of his moves could compare to the imperial power within Su Mu. Even if he pulled out two more mid-grade Xuan-level magic weapons, it was to no avail. Under Su Mu's frenzied attacks, he could only retreat step by step, ending up in a sorry state.

In just a dozen breaths, Wei Zhongxian was severely injured, collapsed to the ground, and could no longer get up.

Su Mu took a step forward and stomped hard on Wei Zhongxian's chest!

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out as Wei Zhongxian's chest was crushed, his heart shattered, blood gushing out, and he died instantly. Just as his primordial spirit was about to leave his body and escape, it was struck by Su Mu's Soul-Seizing Technique, causing his primordial spirit to instantly dissipate and his soul to vanish.

"Godfather is amazing!" Feng Bao, standing at the door, was filled with admiration and surprise, feeling proud of his godfather's strength.

Su Mu ignored the four experts at the Innate Realm. The four were already terrified and knelt down on the ground, begging and pleading, not daring to resist in the slightest.

Soon, Xiao Anran hurriedly returned to the library, and behind her was Emperor Xiao Anxun.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian's body lying in the courtyard, the martial arts school master seriously injured and unable to get up, while Su Mu was unharmed, Xiao Anran and Xiao Anxun both showed surprise.

That's it? Old Su actually won? And so easily?

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Su Mu bowed slightly to Xiao Anxun, his expression calm.

Xiao Anxun nodded to Su Mu, his gaze falling on the four trembling Innate Realm experts. He said coldly, "What happened? Tell me everything!"

"Your Majesty... it was Eunuch Wei who suddenly arrived with his men, claiming to be acting on the Empress's orders to arrest Eunuch Su, whom he calls a wanted criminal!" a subordinate replied, trembling with fear. "As for the rest, we know nothing!"
