The First Marquis of Daxuan

The entrance of Hengshan Sect.

Yellow Yama stood with his hands behind his back.

As a "traitor," he stood at the gate of the opposing sect, facing the elders and peak masters of Hengshan Sect, but Huang Yanwang remained calm and composed.

The faces of the elders of the Hengshan Sect were extremely grim.

This is a naked provocation.

They never imagined that someone would dare to bully the Hengshan Sect's gate.

But unfortunately, they were all helpless.

If they all rushed at him, given the strength of the Hengshan Sect, they might not be unable to kill Huang Yanwang.

But Yokoyama Munechika couldn't afford to lose face like that.

They swarmed in and killed Huang Yanwang by overwhelming the enemy. Even if they succeeded, the reputation of Hengshan Sect would be completely ruined.

If even King Huang dares to issue such a public challenge, why doesn't the Hengshan Sect have the guts to fight him fairly?
This concerns the reputation of the Yokoyama sect.

However, when it came to a one-on-one fight, none of them were confident that they could defeat King Yama.

Xu Gu has already tried this himself.

So now Xu Gu's face has been trampled on and rubbed hard.

Given Xu Gu's example, who would want to suffer the same loss again?

Moreover, Huang Yanwang was challenging Su Mu, and they didn't want to take the blame for Su Mu.

"Where is Su Muren? Is he afraid to fight this King Yama?"

"If he dares not, then your Yokoyama Sect shall be expelled today."

Huang Yanwang's gaze swept over the group of elders, and he said coldly.

"Yanwang Huang, don't be so arrogant. Do you really think my Hengshan Sect is afraid of you?"
"I'm giving you a chance now. Otherwise, do you think you'd be qualified to stand before my sect?"

An elder of the Hengshan Sect said angrily.

To expel Hengshan Sect from the list of sects, let alone Huang Yanwang, even the entire Yanfu Sect is not qualified.

"If you are not satisfied, I, the King of Hell, am right here. Come on, I will give you a handicap."

Huang Yanwang glanced at the other party and said with a disdainful look.

The elder of the Hengshan Sect was so angry that his face turned red. He clenched his fists and was about to make a move, but in the end, reason prevailed.

"Hmph, didn't you come here today to challenge Su Mu? If you can defeat Su Mu, this elder will naturally show you the true strength of my Hengshan Sect!"

The elder of the Hengshan Sect snorted coldly.

"waste!"

"I am ashamed," said King Yama with disdain.

Just as the atmosphere at the scene was getting increasingly tense, two figures slowly flew out of the Hengshan Sect.

It was Su Mu and Zhang Qi who had gone to invite him.

Upon seeing Su Mu arrive, the elders of Hengshan Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether Su Mu can defeat Huang Yanwang, he has finally arrived.

The elders were genuinely worried that Su Mu wouldn't dare to show himself.

If Su Mu doesn't dare to show himself, given Huang Yanwang's temper, he might just storm into Hengshan Sect. In that case, they'll have no choice but to take action.

They didn't want to fight a madman like Huang Yanwang.

"Su Mu!"

Huang Yanwang's gaze fell on Su Mu, and he completely ignored the elders of Hengshan Sect.

His face was full of fighting spirit.

Su Mu walked over step by step, his expression calm and composed.

"Yellow Yama, it's been a long time. You're still as dashing as ever."

Su Mu spoke calmly.
"You certainly did not disappoint me."

Huang Yanwang stared at Su Mu and suddenly burst into laughter, "You are different from these trash. Your cultivation has indeed improved again these days."

"Very well, now that's someone like you, you're worthy to be my opponent."

"Unfortunately, you've disappointed me a bit."

Su Mu shook his head and said calmly, "If your strength hasn't changed, then you're probably going to lose this time."

"Then let's see if you can beat me!"

King Yama laughed heartily.

He took a sudden step forward, accompanied by a loud bang.

Behind the Yellow King, a winding Yellow River appears.

The Yellow River, winding and turning, blots out the sky, and a chilling aura instantly spread through the air.

In an instant, the area within a hundred miles seemed to turn into hell, with a bone-chilling cold.

Whether it's flowers, trees, rocks, or dust, anything swept into the Yellow River is immediately dissolved by the river water.

All the elders and peak masters of the Hengshan Sect retreated in shock.

A look of horror crossed Xu Gu's face.

That's the trick.

The last time he fought Huang Yanwang, Huang Yanwang used this move to defeat them.

Once trapped in the winding Yellow River, one faces endless waters that can even corrode their bodies.

Yao Junhao, the master of Panshi Peak, died in the river.

Once you get caught up in it, you will be exhausted to death by its endless power.

Even now, Xu Gu still can't figure out how to counter Huang Yanwang's move.

He hadn't expected that the Yellow King of Hell would value Su Mu so much, resorting to such a deadly move right from the start.

"Su Mu, Su Mu, you're really going to die this time."

Xu Gu thought to himself.

He also felt a pang of regret that Su Mu had died so soon; he had hoped that Su Mu and Huang Yanwang would fight to the death.

Now it seems that Huang Yanwang is indeed Huang Yanwang. How could Su Mu possibly challenge Huang Yanwang?

Xu Gu's mind raced as he wondered if he had a chance to turn the tide.

On the other side, Su Mu watched as Huang Yanwang unleashed his ultimate move right from the start, but instead of showing any panic, he laughed.

"This is the Yellow King of Hell I know."

Su Mu laughed heartily, "Come on!"

He shouted loudly, and his body swelled with the wind.

Law heaven and earth!

boom!
Su Mu stepped into the winding Yellow River.

The Yellow River, which covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles, is depicted by Su Mu's "Law of Heaven and Earth" and looks like a ribbon.

The endless river water was so deep that it couldn't even submerge Su Mu's body.

In an instant, Su Mu was already entangled with the winding Yellow River.

The Yellow River, winding and turning like a giant snake, surged up and down, but no matter how turbulent the water was, it could never get close to Su Mu's body.

With each move Su Mu made, he unleashed tremendous power, stirring up waves in the river.

The river water, which can corrode everything, couldn't even scratch Su Mu's skin.

The elders of the Hengshan Sect were dumbfounded.

They were all experts in body refinement, but this was the first time they had ever seen someone whose body was so strong.

"The Hengshan Body Refining Technique, it's the Hengshan Body Refining Technique!"

An elder of the Hengshan Sect couldn't help but whisper, "And it's already at least at the Lesser Completion stage."

How long has it been? He has actually cultivated the Hengshan Body Refining Technique to the minor completion level.

How can this be? "

"Back then, it took the sect leader about thirty years to cultivate the Hengshan Body Refining Technique to the minor completion level."

Another elder from the Yokoyama sect whispered, "Something big is about to happen."

"Su Mu, we might really not be able to lose."

The mentality of the elders of Hengshan Sect has begun to change.

Xu Gu's expression became even uglier than it could be, even turning somewhat ferocious.

He was insanely jealous.

Has the Hengshan Body Refining Technique been partially mastered?

Xu Gu has cultivated the Hengshan Body Refining Technique for many years, taking over a thousand years to reach the minor completion level. What makes Su Mu so special?
Su Mu has only been in the secret realm comprehending the Hengshan Body Refining Technique for a few months.

Why should Su Mu's efforts in a few months surpass his efforts in a thousand years?
Moreover, it seems that Su Mu's Hengshan Body Refining Technique at its minor completion level is much more powerful than his.

Everyone here has only achieved minor mastery of the Hengshan Body Refining Technique, so why is Su Mu's strength so much greater?
Even if they were to fight Huang Yanwang head-on, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage!
Why? !

Is it because you have mastered the ultimate technique of Zhenyue Peak to perfection?
Xu Gu clenched his fists tightly.

He felt regret that Su Mu died too quickly. If Su Mu hadn't died, he would have felt more than just regret. He now wished he could go down and help Huang Yanwang kill Su Mu!
If Su Mu can really defeat Huang Yanwang, then Su Mu will become the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect.

Xu Gu had painstakingly planned for hundreds of years, and was finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but now someone else was going to steal his glory.
He absolutely cannot accept this!
He will never allow this to happen!

Xu Gu clenched his fist, the veins on the back of his hand standing out.

Huang Yanwang stood in mid-air, and with a wave of his hand, the Yellow River, winding through the nine bends, stirred up towering waves.

Seeing Su Mu standing as steady as Mount Tai in the winding Yellow River, Huang Yanwang was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, he became even more excited.

If Su Mu is defeated by him right away, he will be disappointed.

He had prepared for this battle for so long, and had even specially practiced this killing move.

If Su Mu is defeated right from the start, wouldn't all his preparations be in vain?
If Su Mu is too weak, then he is not worthy of being his opponent.

On the contrary, the stronger Su Mu became, the more excited he became.

Only if Su Mu is strong enough can he be motivated to fight.

"Then let me see just how strong you really are!"

King Yama laughed heartily, his hands forming a magic seal, and the Yellow River began to grow longer and wider.

Su Mu's face also revealed a strong fighting spirit.

His thoughts were almost identical to those of King Yama.

Both of them wanted to use the pressure from the other to improve their own abilities.

They are not afraid of each other being strong, but only of each other not being strong enough.

Feeling the pressure brought by the winding Yellow River, Su Mu burst into laughter.

With a single punch, he shattered the winding Yellow River into two sections.

The muddy river water splashed on him, making a hissing, corrosive sound.

His skin began to break down, and his muscles and bones made a corrosive sound in the river water, emitting wisps of white mist.

The excruciating pain of a broken torso would have caused an ordinary person to faint long ago.

But Su Mu became increasingly excited.

With his current physical strength, even if he stands still, there are not many people who can hurt him.

With such a powerful physique, it's easy to imagine how difficult it would be to further improve it.

Ordinary cultivation methods simply cannot achieve the desired effect of tempering the physical body.

Even cultivating the Hengshan Body Refining Technique requires years of accumulation.

But now, the winding Yellow River has corroded his skin, muscles, and bones, damaging his physical body. As his body recovers, his skin, muscles, and bones will slowly become stronger.

This is the most fundamental principle of cultivation.

Destruction, rebirth, and becoming stronger.

Only the Yellow King of Hell could bring him this kind of pressure.

Su Mu became more and more excited as the battle progressed, and even though his injuries looked terrible, the smile on his face grew brighter and brighter.

Su Mu and Huang Yanwang were locked in a fierce battle.

The emotions of the Hengshan Sect elders and peak masters watching from the sidelines were like those of a rollercoaster, going up and down.

To be honest, most of the elders and peak masters actually hoped that Su Mu would win.

After all, this battle is related to the reputation of Yokoyama Sect.

Once Su Mu is defeated by Huang Yanwang, then it's likely that no one in Hengshan Sect will be able to defeat Huang Yanwang unless the sect leader intervenes.

But once it reaches that point, if the sect leader makes a move, even if you win, you lose.

If the sect leader of Hengshan Sect has to personally take action to deal with a mere Yama King from Yanfu Sect, doesn't that further demonstrate the weakness of Hengshan Sect?

Therefore, only if Su Mu defeats Huang Yanwang can the reputation of Hengshan Sect be preserved.

However, some elders and peak masters did not want Su Mu to win.

The most prominent figure is Xu Gu, the elder of the Punishment Hall.

The sect leader had previously given an order that whoever could defeat Huang Yanwang would become the next Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect.

That was the spot Xu Gu had been watching.

If Su Mu defeats Huang Yanwang, then Su Mu will seize the position of Grand Elder.

Xu Gu and his supporters certainly did not want to see this happen.

So when they saw Su Mu gaining the upper hand in his battle against Huang Yanwang, their hearts were in their throats.

But when they saw that Su Mu had become extremely miserable, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If someone could see what they were thinking, they would definitely consider them traitors to the Yokoyama Clan.

What else could this be but treason?

Even though Su Mu was representing the Hengshan Sect in the battle, they were actually hoping that Su Mu would lose!
However, no one cared about Xu Gu and the others' feelings at the moment; everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Mu and Huang Yanwang.

It appeared that Su Mu was trapped in the winding Yellow River, his body covered in wounds from the corrosion of the river water, with even his bare bones exposed.

But everyone knows that Su Mu has not lost yet.

The Hengshan Sect is known for its body refinement, and Su Mu has also cultivated the Hengshan Body Refinement Technique. Such martial artists are best at attacking fortified positions.

If we're talking about protracted battles, probably no martial artist in the world can compare to the disciples of the Yokoyama Sect.

Despite Su Mu's current miserable state, his injuries are actually not that serious.

It will probably take some time for Huang Yanwang to completely defeat Su Mu.

A tremendous sound echoed in the air.

Powerful figures from other sects continued to appear in the distance.

Although the Hengshan Sect has kept the news of Huang Yanwang's challenge to the sect a secret, how big of a commotion would it be for two experts at the Dao Origin Realm to clash?

Moreover, other sects have been secretly observing the movements of the Hengshan Sect.

Hearing the commotion, the scouts all came closer to watch the battle.

Among them were several elders of the Danxia Sect whom Su Mu had met before.

"Is he that much stronger than when he went to Danxia Sect?"

A graceful woman whispered; she was none other than Elder Zhang Li of the Danxia Sect.

“I felt something was off when we fought him last time, but thankfully our decision was right.”

"If we hadn't given him the Crimson Fruit back then, who knows what kind of trouble he would have caused in our Danxia Sect."

Elder Wei of the Danxia Sect also spoke in a low voice.

He now suspects that Su Mu deliberately concealed his strength back then, otherwise Su Mu could not have become so much stronger in just a few months.

The thought that Su Mu was a person whose strength was no less than that of Huang Yanwang of Yanfu Sect filled Elder Wei with lingering fear.

They almost made a huge fool of themselves, just like the Hengshan Sect.

If he hadn't decisively sold the Crimson Fruit to Su Mu and allowed Su Mu to continue challenging Danxia Sect, probably few of the elders of Danxia Sect would have been able to defeat Su Mu.

If things really escalate to that point, the consequences could be quite dire.

"Fortunately, we became friends with Su Mu through a fight. He is now a friend of our Danxia Sect. The stronger he is, the better for us."

Another elder of the Danxia Sect said.

Several elders of the Danxia Sect nodded in agreement.

"Elder Zhang, I heard that Peak Master Su doesn't have a Daoist partner yet, and neither do you. You have a good relationship with him, so why don't you consider it?"

An elder of the Danxia Sect even had the leisure to joke with Zhang Li.

Zhang Li glared at the elder and said irritably, "Do you know how old Peak Master Su is this year?"
How could I possibly aspire to the status of such a genius?
If he's willing, what's wrong with me offering myself as his bedmate?

Unfortunately, they might not even be interested in me.

The expressions of the elders of Danxia Sect immediately became extremely serious.

They had just realized that this Peak Master Su was not even a thousand years old.

What does it mean that someone who is less than a thousand years old already possesses the strength to rival the Yellow King of the Yama Sect?
This means he can reign supreme for thousands of years to come!

For the next few thousand years, no one will emerge from the Dao Realm; this will be Su Mu's world.

In other words, as long as Su Mu can defeat Huang Yanwang today, no one will be able to suppress him for thousands of years to come.

Even if Su Mu is defeated today, as long as he doesn't die, he will surely rise again.

After all, his age is his biggest advantage.

Even if he cultivates for another thousand years, he would still be considered a young man among the peak experts of the Dao Source Realm.

"Everyone says that Hengshan Sect has declined, but with Su Mu around, even if Hengshan Sect has really declined, it can definitely be revived."

Elder Wei of the Danxia Sect sighed and slowly said, "Why isn't such a disciple a member of our Danxia Sect?"

"Elder Wei, I am old and my looks have faded, and I dare not presume to be worthy of Peak Master Su, but I think that a marriage alliance is indeed a good way to befriend Peak Master Su."

Zhang Li suddenly said in a low voice.

Elder Wei was extremely astute and immediately understood Zhang Li's meaning.

"You mean-"

His eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Zhang Li nodded solemnly, "Our Danxia Sect is not without people who are worthy of him."

Elder Wei looked thoughtful and remained silent for a long time.

…………

boom!
King Yama took a step back, his expression growing increasingly excited.

In a one-on-one fight, Su Mu actually managed to force him to take a step back.

This has never happened before.

This wasn't the first time he and Su Mu had faced off.

He thought he knew Su Mu's background very well, but this time, Su Mu still gave him a huge surprise.

Speaking of which, in his previous encounters with Su Mu, Su Mu's strength was nothing special in his eyes.

At most, it's just that Su Mu has many tricks up his sleeve and fights recklessly, which is why he's barely interested.

But in each subsequent battle, Huang Yanwang witnessed Su Mu's improvement.

Until this time, Huang Yanwang clearly felt that Su Mu had become a real opponent.

Su Mu may not be as strong as him now, but he is strong enough to be his opponent.

In previous battles, Su Mu had never been able to force him to retreat.

This is a good sign.

In his excitement, Huang Yanwang even felt that the bottleneck that had not loosened for many years had loosened again.

"not enough!"

Huang Yanwang laughed loudly, "Su Mu, feel free to use whatever trump cards you have left."

The power within Huang Yanwang surged, and the Yellow River instantly doubled in width.

The surrounding audience members quickly stepped back.

The sheer aura emanating from them was enough to overwhelm them; they simply couldn't imagine the immense pressure Su Mu was enduring.

"Oh no, it seems that King Yama is about to break through."

Elder Wei of the Danxia Sect said in a deep voice.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Huang Yanwang is a peak Dao Yuan Realm expert. If his cultivation breaks through, wouldn't he break through to the Dao Ji Realm?
If Huang Yanwang really breaks through, then Su Mu is doomed.

Elder Wei of the Danxia Sect could see this, and Xu Gu and others from the Hengshan Sect naturally saw it as well.

Xu Gu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Seeing that Su Mu might defeat Huang Yanwang was even more painful for him than if he himself had lost to Huang Yanwang.

did not expect--

"Su Mu, Su Mu, wouldn't you say you've made a mess of things?"

Xu Gu sneered inwardly, "You think it's a good thing that you can fight Huang Yanwang?"
You put pressure on King Yama, which actually forced him to break through!

Once Huang Yanwang breaks through to the Dao Extreme Realm, you probably won't even be able to withstand a single move from him. At that point, you'll truly be doomed!

"Most importantly, if Huang Yanwang breaks through to the Dao Extreme Realm, then the sect leader can rightfully take action against him, and the reputation of my Hengshan Sect can be preserved."

"If the sect leader defeats Huang Yanwang, the position of Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect will still belong to me, Xu Gu!"

Xu Gu thought to himself that Huang Yanwang's breakthrough to the Dao Extreme Realm was actually a good thing for him.

He couldn't help but pray silently, praying that King Yama would make a breakthrough soon.

On the battlefield, Su Mu faced increased pressure.

Su Mu's cultivation level was not as high as Huang Yanwang's.

Previously, he was only able to barely fight alongside King Yama because of his deep foundation.

Now that Huang Yanwang's strength has actually broken through, the pressure on Su Mu has increased significantly.

In just a moment, Su Mu's figure was submerged in the muddy river water, and his entire body was corroded into a skeleton.

The waves crashed against the skeleton, producing a clanging sound like metal striking metal.

If he were an ordinary martial artist, he would probably have died countless times by now.

But Su Mu's eyes remained bright, and they shone with a strong fighting spirit.

His flesh and blood began to regenerate at a visible speed, and visible waves of power emanated from him. He appeared before Huang Yanwang as if riding the wind and waves, and threw a punch.

The surrounding audience was captivated.

For a moment, everyone clenched their fists, and no one could tell how the competition would end.

The suspense now lies in whether Huang Yanwang can break through in the face of battle.

If Huang Yanwang breaks through, then Su Mu will surely die.

Conversely, if Su Mu can defeat Huang Yanwang before Huang Yanwang breaks through, then Su Mu will be the winner today.

No one knew what the outcome would be; they all watched the battlefield with bated breath. (End of Chapter)
