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

A dark, blood-red blade of light pierced through the air and struck Su Mu precisely.

Another Wu Clan Martial King has already made his move. This person's cultivation has reached the late stage of Martial King, he has condensed his Xuanling, and he wields a high-grade Earth-rank curved blade, the blade's power being extremely fierce.

The crimson blade light pierced through the true fire barrier and tore through the lightning arcs, but the moment it touched Yun Xu's Fire-Splitting Robe, it was completely blocked and could not harm Su Mu in the slightest.

"hateful!"

Witnessing his companion being instantly killed by a single sword strike, this late-stage Martial King's eyes widened in fury, and his heart burned with rage.

The earlier death of his clansman, the Martial King, and now the tragic deaths of his companions in the imperial city, along with the successive losses of his clansmen, filled him with extreme resentment.

He unleashed his full power on the curved blade, its crimson light carrying intense flames, and slashed across the sky once more.

The countless sword lights suddenly converged, layering upon each other, continuously eroding the power of the blade's edge. By the time the blade's edge broke through the sword light, its power was reduced to less than one-tenth.

Su Mu swayed slightly, easily dodging the attack without sustaining any injury.

"presumptuous!"

The gray-robed elder roared in fury as he watched his clansmen fall one after another.

With a thought, the giant python behind him fully unfurled its martial form, and a jet-black spear materialized, carrying a wild and ferocious aura, and swiftly pierced towards Su Mu!

Whoosh!!

Xiao Yunshang suddenly flashed out, and the silver whip in her hand instantly grew longer and more powerful, precisely wrapping around the black spear.

Just now, Su Mu had telepathically instructed her to restrain the Wu Clan Martial Emperor, so she absolutely could not allow the opponent's attack to fall on Su Mu.

Su Mu had already risked his life to kill a Wu Clan Martial King, and Xiao Yunshang knew that she also had to guard the mission of restraining the Martial Emperor.

"court death!"

The attack was forcibly stopped, and the gray-robed old man's eyes flashed with ferocity. With a thought, the giant python behind him, carrying the black spear that was entangled, suddenly changed direction and stabbed straight at Xiao Yunshang!

Xiao Yunshang pulled hard on the long whip, intending to deflect the spear's power, but she never expected that her opponent could so decisively change the target of attack.

"not good!"

The black spear was already extremely fast, and now it was pulled by Xiao Yunshang's own force, causing its sprint speed to increase even more!

Not only was its speed terrifying, but with the full support of the Giant Python Martial Aspect, the destructive power of this spear reached an even more frightening level.

The change happened in the blink of an eye; Xiao Yunshang had no time to dodge, let alone activate her life-saving trump card.

"Their deliberate obstruction of my attack is exactly what I wanted!"

The old man in the gray robe sneered inwardly, feeling extremely smug.

A jet-black spear pierced the air, its chilling killing intent locking onto her body, and a sense of despair suddenly rose in Xiao Yunshang's heart.

At this moment, the sword light of the Four Symbols Sword Formation was actually blocked and isolated by that huge serpent warrior!

Whoosh!!

In that split second between life and death, Su Mu's figure flashed through the air, his hard Xuan body unleashed, and he slammed his fist hard into the shaft of the spear!

The devastating power unleashed by the giant python's martial form failed to repel Su Mu. Since consuming the fifth-grade Dragon Essence Pill, Su Mu's Xuan Body strength and True Fire grade had both reached their peak, making his physical strength beyond imagination.

Although the power of the Four Symbols Sword Formation could not affect Xiao Yunshang, it was entirely poured into Su Mu's body.

In addition, since the gray-robed elder had already targeted Su Mu, Su Mu was prepared and was able to rush to his aid in time.

Bang! !

A dull, deafening roar echoed through the sky. The black spear, struck by immense force, veered off course and grazed past Xiao Yunshang's left shoulder.

Although the spear did not pierce her body, the terrifying pressure suddenly unleashed by the giant python warrior still slammed into Xiao Yunshang.

She lost control of her body and plummeted from the sky like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the palace pavilion and smashing a huge hole in it.

The Martial Emperor's furious attack was indeed terrifyingly powerful.

Su Mu was also forced to retreat by the shockwave from the Martial Phase's outburst, leaving several afterimages in mid-air before he finally regained his footing.

However, this Wu Clan Martial Emperor was not a being born from this world, and given his advanced age, the repulsion and suppression from the laws of heaven and earth would only intensify with each full-force attack.

With this strike, the black python's martial appearance visibly dimmed, and its power weakened significantly.

If he continues to launch a desperate attack, his martial spirit will only be continuously depleted, and there is even a risk that it will collapse and disintegrate.

Whoosh!!

A moment later, Xiao Yunshang, enduring the pain, took to the air once more. Bright red blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her beautiful face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

She had not yet recovered to her peak condition, and now she had to endure the lingering power of a martial emperor, causing her condition to plummet to rock bottom.

But she had no intention of retreating—simply because Su Mu was still standing on the battlefield, not having fled.

The Wu Clan Martial Emperor no longer urged the giant python martial avatar to launch a fierce attack, but still controlled the black spear, relentlessly pursuing Su Mu.

"Miss Xiao, you can handle the remaining Wu Clan Martial King. I'll keep this old bastard occupied!"

Su Mu transmitted his thoughts telepathically, his tone calm and steady.

He knew that Xiao Yunshang, who was seriously injured, was no longer able to restrain the Martial Emperor. Moreover, the old man's killing intent was locked on him and could not be changed.

More importantly, he absolutely could not allow Xiao Yunshang to retreat. Once she withdrew, the surviving late-stage Martial King of the Witch Clan would definitely take the opportunity to destroy the Four Symbols Sword Formation.

Xiao Yunshang must stay and fight.

To completely entangle this Wu Clan Martial Emperor, Su Mu raised his hand and took out a mid-grade Earth-rank clone talisman, activating it directly.

The clone that was formed, though unable to replicate Su Mu's full combat power, was still quite strong, enough to share the pressure and disrupt the enemy's mind.

That's enough.

"A mere clone? A trivial skill indeed!"

The gray-robed old man showed disdain and sneered coldly. He immediately manipulated the black spear, changed the direction of the attack, and intended to destroy the clone first.

This was exactly the effect Su Mu wanted.

He controlled his clone to fly at full speed, constantly dodging the spear's pursuit and diverting the old man's attention.

He himself was enveloped in a sky full of sharp sword light, and taking advantage of this gap, he quickly approached the gray-robed old man.

"Hmph, what audacity!"

The gray-robed old man stared coldly at the approaching Su Mu, raised his hand and conjured a jet-black skull claw, which he then lashed out.

The countless sword lights relentlessly sliced ​​and tore at the skeletal black claws, yet they could not completely defeat them.

Su Mu neither dodged nor avoided the old man in gray robes, but raised his eyes to look directly at him.

The moment their eyes met, Su Mu's pupils suddenly gleamed with a strange light.

The Celestial Illusionary Divine Eye was suddenly activated!

The old man in the gray robe felt that the light and shadows before his eyes were chaotic, and the surrounding scenery was instantly distorted and changed.

The sword formation that had just been filled with the light of swords instantly transformed into a desolate mountain range, where countless ferocious beasts roamed, roaring and rampaging.

"An illusion?"

The old man instantly saw through the trick, immediately withdrew his outward martial aura, and retrieved it into his sea of ​​consciousness to stabilize his soul.

The illusory scene before my eyes vanished without a trace in an instant.

His soul cultivation was far superior to Su Mu's, and the Heavenly Illusionary Divine Eye could only cause him a momentary disturbance to his soul.

But that brief moment of stiffness was enough.

Taking advantage of the old man's illusion breaking and his mind still unsettled, Su Mu decisively activated a high-grade Earth-rank immobilization talisman.

A dazzling streak of light shot through the air and struck the gray-robed old man precisely.

The light exploded, and a strange and powerful binding force instantly enveloped the old man's entire body, locking his limbs and meridians, making him completely unable to move.

"A spell to immobilize someone? This kid certainly has a lot of trump cards!"

The gray-robed elder was startled and secretly surprised. At the same time, he fully activated the profound spiritual energy within his body, frantically flushing out the binding power, wanting to break free from the restraints as soon as possible.

At this moment, Su Mu had already passed through the broken and battered skull claws. His right arm suddenly shot forward, his index and middle fingers joined together like a sword, and he thrust straight forward with fierce force!
