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

A group of powerful humans held the line of defense above the palace, not seeking to kill the alien race, but only to withstand all attacks and protect Xiao Yunshang.

A single attack might not be a problem, but if she were to withstand too many attacks, her martial spirit and primordial spirit would inevitably shatter, and her thousand years of cultivation would be destroyed in an instant.

At this moment, Xiao Yunshang felt a pang of regret.

She originally thought that with Su Mu and Chai Min in charge, they would be able to handle any sudden crisis, but she never expected that there were so many top experts from other races hidden in the imperial city.

Had she known the situation had become so perilous, she would have surely pleaded with Su Mu to accompany her to a remote, secluded place to cultivate and solidify her cultivation. Even if they still encountered powerful enemies, she would never have fallen into such a desperate situation, surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Of course, there is opportunity even in crisis. Powerful alien warriors have gathered in the imperial city, and many human warriors are also willing to lend a helping hand.

Through this incident, Xiao Yunshang has already incurred a heavy debt of gratitude to the entire human martial arts community.

The battlefield situation changes rapidly.

The four martial emperors from the barbarian and Japanese tribes were menacing and powerful.

On the human side, Chai Min was stationed at the front, several human Martial Emperors participated in the battle, and with the addition of Su Mu's clone and the Mo Jin puppet, their combat strength was comparable to that of a powerful early-stage Martial Emperor. The number of Martial Kings on both sides was roughly equal, and their combat strength was also evenly matched.

Su Mu was stationed at Yangxin Palace, not just standing by and watching. He wielded the Four Luminaries Profound Slaughter Sword, and from time to time unleashed deadly sword techniques to harass from afar. His sword energy was powerful and fierce, posing a strong deterrent to the alien powerhouses.

With various factors balancing each other out, the battlefield became completely deadlocked, with both sides fighting fiercely and evenly matched.

Unable to break through after a prolonged siege, the four alien martial emperors had clearly begun to communicate in secret.

The four powerful figures, who were originally scattered and fighting separately, suddenly changed direction at the same time, abandoned their opponents, and rushed towards Yangxin Palace from the air!

The human defenses were layered and impenetrable, making it impossible to break through or defeat Xiao Yunshang's primordial spirit martial soul. Since harassment was ineffective, they would directly attack her physical body to interrupt her condensation process!

The four Martial Emperors unleashed their power simultaneously, instantly repelling the surrounding human experts with their overwhelming cultivation. In the blink of an eye, they charged to the sky above the Yangxin Palace, their killing intent chilling and their momentum overwhelming.

Their purpose is obvious.

Xiao Yunshang had anticipated this and had prepared a backup plan.

She already held a high-grade Earth-rank talisman in her palm, activating it instantly in the critical moment.

hum-

A massive, golden bell suddenly enveloped her, and layers of energy barriers stood firm, protecting her body completely.

The energy bell's defense was extremely powerful. Although the four alien Martial Emperors were confident of breaking through the bell's shield with their hasty attack, they found it difficult to break through the defense and seriously injure Xiao Yunshang.

Chai Min and the human race's powerful warriors were about to return to provide reinforcements, and they only had one chance to make a move.

In the blink of an eye, the four suddenly changed their attack, and all the killing moves that were originally aimed at Xiao Yunshang were thrown at Su Mu who was standing to the side!

Compared to Xiao Yunshang, who was about to break through, they wanted to kill Su Mu even more!

The various alien races had already thoroughly investigated Su Mu's background, and the more they learned, the more wary they became.

This child's growth rate is unprecedented. His physical body is domineering and his combat power is heaven-defying. Just now, everyone witnessed him kill the Wu Clan Martial Emperor and force back the mid-stage Wu Clan Martial Emperor. His deterrent power is extremely terrifying.

A newly promoted Martial Emperor poses a limited threat to alien races, but an unparalleled and heaven-defying powerhouse like Su Mu will inevitably become a major threat to the barbarian and Japanese tribes in the future!

Moreover, the two sides harbor deep-seated hatred, with Su Mu having slaughtered countless powerful native warriors of both races, and the old grudges had long been deeply rooted.

As for the catastrophe of the Black Mist Clan and the crisis of the annihilation of the human race, they had long since lost interest in them.

The world is in utter despair, and the road ahead is shrouded in darkness. Rather than waiting for the arrival of the demonic race and resigning ourselves to death, we should seize this opportunity to settle old scores and eliminate our greatest threat!

"You want to kill me? You're far too arrogant!"

Su Mu's eyes were cold, and he let out a cold snort, showing no fear whatsoever. He gripped the black spear tightly in his backhand, exerted force, and precisely knocked away the giant hammer that the barbarian Martial Emperor was hurling at him!

The final, deadly attacks of the remaining three alien Martial Emperors landed with a resounding crash as expected!

The protective shield formed by the intertwining of the purple-gold true fire and the true spirit of the imperial path instantly shattered and vanished into nothingness.

Fortunately, he was surrounded by endless lightning arcs, and his Cloud Void Fire-Repelling Robe further deflected the force, greatly weakening the power of the three Martial Emperor attacks with its double defense.

The remaining impact was completely withstood by Su Mu's Imperial Body!

Previously, even the powerful attack of the mid-stage Martial Emperor of the Witch Clan with his skull scepter could not harm him in the slightest. These three attacks, weakened layer by layer, would be even more difficult to break through his physical defenses!

Above the night sky, the pupils of the four alien Martial Emperors shrank, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Even this can't do anything to him?!"

"This person's physical strength is beyond what is reasonable!"

"With true fire, true spirit, and lightning protecting me, my defenses are layered upon each other, making me utterly impenetrable!"

"The human forces have surrounded us; retreat immediately!"

Having failed to achieve their goal with their first attack, the four alien martial emperors decisively abandoned their offensive and retreated swiftly.

They knew perfectly well that continuing the entanglement would only lead to their entrapment. Once Xiao Yunshang successfully condensed her Martial Aspect, the human race would gain another Martial Emperor, and with the unbeatable Su Mu, they would inevitably pay a heavy price.

In dire straits, there's no need to fight to the death.

The four Martial Emperors fought and retreated, quickly gathering the remaining Martial Kings under their command. They rushed out of the Great Qian Imperial City's territory and fled at full speed, disappearing completely into the night.

Upon seeing this, all the powerful members of the human race breathed a sigh of relief.

With the situation balanced and no one having an absolute advantage, no one wanted to pursue rashly and increase casualties. Instead, they all stopped above the imperial city and quietly observed the changes at Yangxin Palace.

Su Mu remained by Xiao Yunshang's side, raising his hand to summon the black-gold puppet that was fighting outside back to his side.

As for the clones, they dissipated on their own after completing their mission.

Chai Min and Chang Wei had many concerns, fearing that approaching rashly would disturb Xiao Yunshang's condensation and also cause misunderstandings among others. Therefore, they did not land, but stood on the high building of the palace, guarding her throughout.

Su Mu didn't wait idly. While taking pills to fully restore his condition, he also looked through all the spoils of war he had captured in this battle.

That black spear left behind by the Martial Emperor of the Witch Clan was actually a top-grade Earth-rank offensive magic weapon, with extremely high grade and unparalleled power.

However, the gray-robed Martial Emperor only possessed the cultivation of the early stage of Martial Emperor, lacking sufficient foundation, and could only barely activate it, unable to unleash the spear's peak power. Only a mid-stage Martial Emperor or higher could fully unlock the power of a top-grade Earth-rank magic weapon.

This spear alone is enough to cover all the costs of the immobilization and clone talismans that Su Mu had previously consumed, and even far exceeds their value.

Most of the magical artifacts left behind by the other powerful members of the Wu Clan were only of the upper-grade Earth rank. However, one magical artifact shaped like a jade bowl was quite special. It was an extremely rare treasure for soul defense and would be very useful to Su Mu in his current state.

The storage rings contain abundant resources and a rich collection.

A vast amount of spirit stones were piled up like mountains, and there were countless kinds of pills. However, most of the pills were of Yin and evil nature and were suitable for the Wu Clan's constitution, but not for human cultivators.

Like the powerful Wu Clan warriors they had previously slain, these people possessed a vast amount of demonic beast blood essence, inner cores, and high-grade rare and precious materials in their storage rings. The gray-robed Martial Emperor's collection, in particular, was overflowing with countless top-grade resources, priceless in value.

Su Mu raised his hand and summoned Jinzi, letting it devour the remains of all the powerful members of the Witch Clan. After Jinzi had eaten its fill and flew back to the library, he carefully checked the top treasures again.
