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

Chai Min narrowed her eyes, her face was solemn, and her aura suddenly suppressed the entire room with a mixture of majesty and anger.

Although the bet was a fact, Su Mu's relentless pressure now seemed to be deliberately coercing him.

"I had heard that the elders of Yunxiang Valley were always careful about their reputation and kept their promises, but now it seems that they are nothing more than that."

Su Mu retorted indifferently: "If you truly care about the sect's reputation, you should urge your disciples to keep their promises and be responsible for their actions, instead of abusing your power to bully others and forcibly showing favoritism."

"Don't force me to take action!"

Chai Min's tone was icy, carrying a strong sense of intimidation: "I admit that you are quite strong, with a physical body that surpasses all other Martial Kings, making you a top expert at the Martial King level. But the gap between a Martial King and a Martial Emperor is insurmountable, and cannot be crossed by brute force alone..."

"Second Elder, there's no need for you to make threats."

Su Mu cut her off abruptly, proposing, "How about this: if you can defeat me, today's bet is off. But if you also lose to me, then you and he will both acknowledge me as your father, how about that?"

"presumptuous!"

Chai Min was furious.

She was the second elder of Yunxiang Valley, a dignified Martial Emperor, with an extremely noble status. How could she accept such an absurd and humiliating bet?

This sentence completely ignited her anger.

hum-

A blazing light shot into the sky, and Chai Min, no longer holding back, instantly activated her martial form, unleashing all her profound spiritual power. Intense flames raged around her, and a terrifying heatwave swept through the entire courtyard, causing the surrounding space to tremble and distort violently.

This is not the true fire of ordinary cultivators, but a higher quality and more powerful mysterious fire!

The fact that Chai Min can condense Xuan Fire is enough to prove that she is no ordinary Martial Emperor, but a real mid-stage Martial Emperor!

His strength far surpasses that of the previously defeated Wu Clan Emperor.

Even knowing that Su Mu possessed extraordinary combat power and had once forced back the Martial Emperor of the Witch Clan, Chai Min remained fearless.

Mid-stage Martial Emperor, with Xuanhuo, Xuanling, and Martial Aspect far surpassing early-stage Martial Emperor, such a level of powerhouse is enough to crush the vast majority of cultivators in this world, making it worthy of Su Mu's full effort and serious attention.

Su Mu was slightly surprised. He originally thought that Chai Min was only a newly entered Martial Emperor, but he did not expect her to be a mid-stage Martial Emperor.

However, that's all; it's still nothing to be afraid of.

Sensing the terrifying pressure, everyone around quickly retreated.

Xiao Anxun and the others leaped into the air and hovered far away, waving their hands to stop others from approaching the battlefield.

Wen Qianzhu, carrying the sleeping Xiao Susong, soared into the air and subconsciously looked towards the Yangxin Palace. The commotion within the palace was so great, yet Xiao Yunshang had not yet appeared, clearly indicating she was in a crucial stage of seclusion and had no time to spare.

High in the sky, the gold still hovers freely.

Su Mu doesn't need anyone's help to deal with Martial King level opponents; but against mid-stage Martial Emperor, Jin Zi's cultivation is too low, so he will not only be of no help but become a burden.

Boom—

Chai Min's martial appearance was fully extended, reaching a height of over two hundred feet, resembling an ancient willow tree reaching the heavens, with thousands of slender branches hanging down, each branch flowing with a divine glow, exuding a majestic and overwhelming aura.

Su Mu took the opportunity to release Chang Wei.

"You dare to anger the Second Elder! You are doomed this time!"

Chang Wei snorted coldly, and with lingering fear, leaped away, retreating far from the battlefield in the courtyard, waiting for Su Mu to be suppressed.

Su Mu remained calm, and with a wave of his arm, four Xuanzhu flying swords burst forth from the sky, spun in mid-air, and split into four, instantly setting up four sword bases.

The Four Symbols Sword Formation was formed instantly!

Although Chai Min's cultivation far surpassed that of the previous Wu Clan Martial Emperor, as a veteran powerhouse from another dimension, her martial appearance could only condense an aura of pressure and could not open up a true domain.

Even if Su Mu's Four Symbols Sword Formation cannot completely suppress the opponent's martial aura, it is enough to rival and maintain a stalemate.

Su Mu knew in his heart that his soul cultivation had not improved recently. His previous Heavenly Illusionary Divine Eye could only briefly imprison the old man of the Wu Clan who was at the early stage of Martial Emperor. Against Chai Min, who was at the middle stage of Martial Emperor with a stronger foundation, the illusion effect was negligible and almost useless.

"The sword formation set up by the four mid-grade Earth-rank flying swords is shallow in power and easily defeated."

Chai Min looked down coldly, her heart filled with disdain. With a thought, the giant willow tree swayed gently, and thousands of radiant willow branches swept out, tearing through the air.

bang bang bang-

The sword light that filled the sky shattered and dissipated instantly, and the power of the sword formation was easily neutralized.

"I never intended to win against you with just a sword formation."

Su Mu's expression remained unchanged. In an instant, he activated the Imperial True Spirit, and the power of the True Spirit instantly enveloped his entire body.

The purple-gold true fire, imbued with the supreme imperial aura, enveloped his entire body. Within the flames, the shadows of dragons could be faintly seen rising and falling, and Dao patterns flowed. His aura surged rapidly, instantly reaching its peak.

After achieving the Imperial Body, the boost to his combat power from the Grade 5 Dragon Essence Pill was negligible. Therefore, he did not use any pills to enhance his strength and relied solely on his own inherent abilities to fight.

"Let me see for myself what makes you so arrogant in front of a Martial Emperor!"

Chai Min's eyes were cold, and she had no intention of killing Su Mu.

She forced her way through the black mist to cross realms, expending enormous energy along the way, and has not yet fully recovered, so she is not at her peak condition.

Su Mu possesses a formidable physical body and considerable combat prowess. If she were to forcibly kill him, she would inevitably pay a heavy price, making it a losing proposition.

Her actions were solely aimed at suppressing Su Mu's arrogance, forcing him to void the bet, let Chang Wei go, and save Yunxiang Valley's reputation.

"Since you want to see, then I'll let you see it clearly."

Undeterred, Su Mu unleashed his full power, his sword light blazing across the sky, charging straight towards Chai Min with an indomitable and domineering aura.

A barrage of sword lights surged upwards, layer upon layer, relentlessly entangling Liu Shuwuxiang, restraining his pressure and offensive, preventing him from instantly suppressing him or getting close enough to attack.

Su Mu's greatest advantage lies in his invincible physical body. His Imperial Body is both offensive and defensive, and incomparably powerful; only in close combat can he unleash his full combat potential.

Chai Min understood his thoughts and dared not be careless in the slightest. She retreated in mid-air, actively creating distance to avoid the advantage of close combat.

The next instant, she mobilized all her profound spiritual power, her body blazing with profound fire, and she raised her hand to strike out with a palm.

The enormous palm print, solid as crystal and bathed in raging mysterious fire, carrying the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, descended from the sky and slammed down on Su Mu!

With his true spirit protecting him and his body ablaze with purple-gold true fire, Su Mu was unafraid of the blazing palm prints that pressed down on him. He soared into the air and charged straight up to meet the attack.

He gathered his strength in his right arm and unleashed a powerful punch!

With a deafening roar, Chai Min's massive palm print, solid and heavy, imbued with boundless profound fire, shattered and scattered into nothingness in an instant.

Su Mu stepped onto the Nine Palaces Soaring Void Step, his figure ethereal and dreamlike, and in an instant he closed in on Chai Min, followed by another domineering punch!

At the same time, the sword light unleashed by the Four Symbols Sword Formation surged and swept across the sky like crashing waves, enveloping Chai Min from all directions and sealing off all her escape routes.

Chai Min's expression hardened slightly. While rapidly dodging and weaving, she raised her hand and summoned a pair of circular magic treasures that shimmered with spiritual light.

These two rings were top-grade Earth-rank offensive magic weapons, incredibly powerful. Under her mental control, they were extremely agile, locking onto Su Mu and relentlessly pursuing him.

The destructive power of a top-grade Earth-rank magic weapon is extremely terrifying, enough to tear apart the true fire and true spirit protecting Su Mu's body. Even the high-grade Earth-rank Cloud Void Fire-Repelling Robe on his body could not completely block its power.
