After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 389 Demonic Way
"That kid is so young, yet he has such martial arts skills and agility. It is indeed rare."

The legendary thief Bai Wuying, having failed to see Li Musheng appear behind him, pulled a gourd from his waist, took a smug gulp, and muttered to himself:
"However, compared to me, the Saint of Thieves who has roamed the martial world for decades, you are still slightly inferior!"

As he spoke, Bai Wuying slowly frowned again:

"But... this kid's identity... looks a bit like that prince of Da Li."

Li Musheng's reputation had already spread throughout the martial arts world, and Bai Wuying had naturally heard of his deeds.

Li Musheng's most notable characteristic, as everyone knows, is his youth!
There are not many people in the world with high martial arts skills, but there are still quite a few.

However, most of them are established veterans, while young people like Li Musheng, who are not even twenty years old, are unique.

Thinking of this, the expression of the Thief Saint Bai Wuying gradually changed.

Because Li Musheng's reputation is indeed extremely high now, he not only single-handedly destroyed Luoshen Peak, one of the four major sects of the Dali Jianghu.

There are even rumors that he killed a Martial Saint, and that he directly suppressed the Killing Saint of the Hidden Killing Pavilion in full view of everyone.

His numerous achievements were simply too dazzling. To be honest, if it came down to a real fight in terms of martial arts prowess, he wasn't confident he could defeat Li Musheng.

"It's alright. That kid's agility and lightness skills are not as good as mine. As long as he can't catch up with me, he can't hurt me. The advantage is still mine!"

Bai Wuying, the master thief, was suddenly enlightened and happily took another swig of wine.

Immediately, he turned his head again to look up at the Qingxuan Temple.

Bai Wuying naturally knew by this time that this place was the place where the three sects of the demonic path opened their demonic energy.

Although he had long since withdrawn from the affairs of the martial world, the demonic path was the common enemy of all people, and these demons before him were attempting to inherit the legacy of the founder of the demonic path.

If these people succeed, it will likely be another unimaginable catastrophe for the future of the Great Xuan Jianghu.

If he hadn't run into them, it wouldn't have mattered, but now that he has, he can't simply ignore it no matter what.

However, Bai Wuying, the master thief, turned his head but was not yet ready to make a move.
The next moment, he suddenly froze.

Because in his line of sight at that moment, he saw a figure appear on the top of the Qingxuan Temple mountain.

"This……"

The legendary thief Bai Wuying rubbed his eyes hard, nearly dropping his jaw in astonishment:
"How could it be that kid? When did he arrive?"

Clearly, Bai Wuying recognized the figure at a glance; it was none other than Li Musheng, whom he had just left behind.

The other party had arrived at the top of Qingxuan Temple without anyone noticing, even though he had been observing the movements from the direction he came from, he had not noticed Li Musheng's arrival at all.

"This is unbelievable, how did he do that?"

The legendary thief Bai Wuying looked on with surprise and uncertainty.

Not only did he use his trump card, but his feint against Li Musheng also failed.

The key question is, even if the other party saw through his intentions, how could they evade his senses and appear silently above the summit of Qingxuan Temple?

It should be noted that his mastery of lightness skill is unmatched in the entire Great Xuan martial arts world, and his sensitivity to the trajectory of lightness skills far surpasses that of others.

Even so, he was still completely unaware of Li Musheng's arrival.

At this moment, Li Musheng, who was standing in mid-air above, glanced at the location of the Thief Saint Bai Wuying, and at the same time, a voice came:
"I think you're not young anymore. Talking big is useless. You'd better go home and practice more."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wuying, the Thief Saint, was stunned for a moment, and then almost flew into a rage.

"you you……"

Bai Wuying glared angrily at Li Musheng in the sky, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Because he knew very well that he had lost, and lost miserably!
He couldn't even see the traces of Li Musheng's movements. Clearly, the other party's skill in lightness technique was far superior to his own, the "Master Thief."

For a moment, Bai Wuying fell silent, remaining speechless for a long time.

Meanwhile, Li Musheng above had already withdrawn his gaze and looked at the vortex of demonic energy floating in mid-air, which was now radiating intense demonic light.

However, Li Musheng did not make a move. He simply stood calmly in mid-air, as if waiting for something.
The legendary thief Bai Wuying looked up at Li Musheng's figure in the sky above Qingxuan Temple, slowly concealing the shock and anger on his face, and cursed:
"How can there be such a perverted person in the world!"

Not only is his martial arts skill formidable, but he's also so young; his future achievements are unimaginable.

Bai Wuying had just thought that since his movement skills were superior to Li Musheng's, he was definitely invincible.

But it seems that the one who can truly remain invincible is not him, but this blond-haired kid in front of him.

"What kind of incredible luck did that brat Bai Xiaotang have? How did she manage to receive this kid's teachings?"

The expression in Bai Wuying's eyes shifted uncertainly. Li Musheng's lightness skill was even better than his own, and he also possessed such a powerful finger technique.

Logically speaking, it's impossible for someone to teach that finger technique to a beggar like Bai Xiaotang for no reason.

"Could it be... that this kid has taken a liking to that brat? But that brat is still so young..."

Thinking of this, the Thief Saint Bai Wuying suddenly became furious:

"Damn it, that kid is a beast!"

Immediately, he glared at Li Musheng in the sky, his eyes practically spitting fire, and roared:

"I disagree with this, unless you step over my dead body!"

The roar of the Thief Saint Bai Wuying was extremely loud, almost echoing throughout the entire Qingxuan Temple.

Li Musheng turned his head and frowned slightly.

I don't know what's wrong with this person? They just blurted out this sentence out of the blue.

He remembered that he had just made a sarcastic remark and didn't seem to have done anything to the other person.
Has the defense been breached?
He calls himself a saint among thieves, but his mental fortitude is lacking.

Li Musheng shook his head and then looked away, completely ignoring Bai Wuying.

Bai Wuying's face turned pale and then flushed as Li Musheng completely ignored her.

If he had encountered any other martial arts masters, he would have already taught them a lesson and kept them away from Bai Xiaotang.

But Li Musheng was different; his opponent was superior to him in terms of lightness skills and agility.

Previously, he had an advantage over other martial arts masters, but now Li Musheng had the advantage over him. He knew very well that even if he made a move, he probably wouldn't be able to even scratch Li Musheng's clothes.

Doing that would only embarrass him in front of this kid and would be completely pointless. Thinking of this, Bai Wuying, the Thief Saint, became even more unsightly. Only now did he personally experience how those martial arts masters whose lightness skills were inferior to his felt when facing him, the Thief Saint.

The legendary thief Bai Wuying couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The crucial point was that that brat Bai Xiaotang still idolized Li Musheng.

He had even wanted this kid to hang him up and beat him, and now that he thought about it, he was really starting to lose his composure.

"A sin!"

Just as Bai Wuying was feeling sentimental, a group of experts from the seven major sects rushed over from the darkness of the night.

In just a few breaths, they arrived near Qingxuan Temple and surrounded the enormous vortex of demonic energy in the sky.

Upon seeing this, Bai Wuying, the Thief Saint, looked up and narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not make any move.

"These demons have indeed activated their demonic energy once again."

One of the leading elders of the Heavenly Blood Palace, one of the seven major sects, spoke, then swept his gaze across Li Musheng and the Grand Palace Master of the Invitation Moon Palace below.

"Who are you?"

Not sensing any demonic aura from Li Musheng, the group of experts from the seven major sects did not immediately label him as a member of the demonic path, but instead inquired about Li Musheng's identity.

Li Musheng glanced at the crowd out of the corner of his eye, but did not reply. He simply said:

"This is not a situation you can interfere with. I advise you to stay back and just watch from the sidelines."

Upon hearing this, the group of experts from the seven major sects all frowned. Being looked down upon by such a young junior as Li Musheng was clearly unexpected for them.

However, seeing that Li Musheng could stand in mid-air, everyone knew that his martial arts strength should not be weak.

At this moment, an elder from the Giant Spirit Sect, a man with a muscular physique, glanced at Li Musheng and sneered:
"Kid, you've got quite the nerve. Don't you even know what's inside this vortex of demonic energy?"

"To tell you the truth, the three major demonic sects are located inside. If you don't want to die, you'd better get the hell out of here!"

Upon hearing this, the experts from the seven major sects all nodded in agreement.

Li Musheng thought he was arrogant and conceited just because he had some martial arts talent and strength. He didn't take them, the senior figures in the martial arts world, seriously.

After learning that the leaders of the three major demonic sects were here, not only martial arts practitioners but even ordinary people in the city had heard of the infamous reputation of these great demons who killed without blinking an eye.

Knowing that Li Musheng must be terrified, he immediately slunk away!
However, to the surprise of the experts from the seven major sects, Li Musheng remained unmoved, standing motionless in mid-air.

At the same time, several elders of the Inviting Moon Palace quickly landed beside Wen Yue, the Grand Palace Master of the Inviting Moon Palace, to inquire about her situation.

The reason why the masters of the seven major sects were able to find this place so quickly was largely due to the secret code that Wen Yue left for her disciples.

"Grand Palace Master, did these demons harm you?"

An elder from the Inviting Moon Palace asked aloud, while the leading elder from the Heavenly Blood Palace addressed Wen Yue:
"Grand Palace Master, there is no need to blame yourself. The theft of the Demonic Essence is not solely your responsibility. Now that we have come, let us work together to stop these demons!"

Wen Yue glanced at the experts from the seven major sects but remained silent.

These people naturally didn't know that she had personally handed over the demonic energy to the three major demonic sects, nor did they know that she had been affected by Master Qingyu's soul-searching technique.

At this moment, Wen Yue shifted her gaze, looking only at Li Musheng, who stood in mid-air.

Upon seeing this, the experts from the seven major sects all showed strange expressions, clearly not understanding why Wen Yue was paying so much attention to that young man.

Just then, a hoarse voice came from within the vortex of demonic energy:
"You people from the seven major sects have come at just the right time. I am about to achieve mastery of my demonic arts, and you will become my sacrifice."

Upon hearing this, the demonic energy vortex instantly trembled with demonic light, countless demonic shadows roared, and a terrifying demonic pressure surged forth like a tide, crashing down upon the experts from the seven major sects around them.

In an instant, the elders surrounding the vortex of demonic energy all changed their expressions drastically. They immediately circulated their martial arts true energy and used their sect's unique martial arts techniques to resist the pressure from the Sun and Moon Demon Queen.

In an instant, the surrounding true energy of heaven and earth surged and trembled, pouring into the group of elders.

The Heavenly Blood Killing Light from the Heavenly Blood Palace shot straight into the sky, the Giant Spirit Sect's protective Giant Spirit God Shadow enveloped the void, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword Shadow from the Profound Light Sword Sect rose from the ground...

All the experts from the seven major sects were able to feel the terrifying pressure brought by the Sun and Moon Demon Queen immediately, and they all went all out without holding back.

But as Li Musheng said, the current situation is far beyond the capacity of the elders of these seven major sects to handle.

Especially after the Sun and Moon Demon Queen devoured the Human-Demon Elixir and the demonic cultivation left behind by the Demonic Ancestor, her demonic cultivation is now completely different from before. Even if the leaders of the seven major sects came in person, they might not be a match for the Sun and Moon Demon Queen.

At this moment, although the experts from the seven major sects were trying their best to resist the oppressive aura emanating from the Sun and Moon Demon Queen, it was clearly extremely difficult.

Moreover, everyone is now in a dilemma; they cannot break through the oppressive aura of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen, but they also cannot retreat.

Because if they retreat, they will be crushed by the terrifying aura pressing down on them.

In an instant, the experts from the seven major sects all turned extremely pale. Clearly, they had never expected that the demon in the vortex of demonic energy would become so powerful.

What they didn't know was that the Sun and Moon Demon Queen had deliberately held back, not wanting to kill them directly, but keeping their lives to devour their cultivation.

Otherwise, with the current strength of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen, killing these experts from the seven major sects would be a piece of cake.

The Sun and Moon Demon Queen's loud laughter echoed from within the vortex of demonic energy, while the elders of the seven major sects turned pale and were filled with fear!

Just then, an elder caught a glimpse of the young man who had spoken so arrogantly earlier and was surprised to find that he was still standing in mid-air, seemingly unaffected by the demonic pressure emanating from the Sun and Moon Demon Queen.

"Could it be that we misjudged him, and this kid is actually a true master!"

An elder, under the oppressive aura of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen, managed to speak. Upon hearing this, all the experts from the seven major sects around him turned their gazes toward Li Musheng.

Seeing that Li Musheng was indeed unharmed and remained calm throughout, everyone was surprised, but a glimmer of hope also rose in their hearts.

Just as the Sun and Moon Demon Queen said before, when the opponent's demonic arts are fully mastered, they will probably not be able to escape death.

If Li Musheng is truly powerful and unafraid of the Sun and Moon Demon Queen's pressure, then perhaps only she could stop him at this moment.

"Young hero, we were blind to your greatness just now. Now that this demon is about to succeed, we beg you to step in and uphold justice, and stop him!"

The elder of the Heavenly Blood Palace spoke with difficulty, and the other experts also made their requests.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng glanced at the crowd out of the corner of his eye, then suddenly gave a wicked smile.

Upon seeing this, the elders of the seven major sects were immediately taken aback.

Immediately, they were horrified to sense that an extremely astonishing demonic aura was rising from Li Musheng's body.
