ps: Apologies, there were a few typos in the last chapter. Firstly, Mu Qing's strength is a three-star War God, seventh stage. Secondly, in the exclamation of the one-star War God from beyond the domain, Jiang Wu Ming should have been a two-star War God, ninth stage. Also, two nine-star martial artists were mistakenly written as two-star martial artists. I have contacted the editor to make corrections.
...
Mu Qing and the others emerged from the curtain. In a short period, three people had already died: Bai Yue, whose spiritual power cultivation was two-star War God, tenth stage, a two-star War God, ninth stage martial artist, and a one-star War God, ninth stage martial artist. The losses were heavy, and their overall strength was greatly diminished.
Furthermore, Qin Xiaozhi's customized sniper rifle had already created immense deterrence for the enemies from beyond the domain, other than Mu Qing. Even without firing again, it terrified them into evasive maneuvers.
Under these circumstances, Jiang Wu Ming no longer needed to worry about others posing a threat to Dongfang Xiaoyao, Huangfu Weixia, and Xing Tian. He could focus on dealing with Mu Qing!
"I originally intended to kill that native on the mountaintop before coming to kill you. Since you wish to die first, I shall grant your wish – Die!!"
Mu Qing was enraged to the extreme. Seeing Jiang Wu Ming blocking his path and arrogantly taunting him, his killing intent exploded completely.
With a furious roar, Mu Qing's blood surged, his true qi churned violently, and the treasure sword in his hand traced a strange trajectory in the air. Dense purple true qi roared out, evolving into a sword wheel.
The sword wheel, with a diameter of three meters, shot out like a true qi storm. It moved at extreme speed, and wherever it passed, the air exploded, becoming a vacuum. The bluestone bricks on the ground shattered, and fragments flew everywhere!
World Annihilating Sword Wheel.
This was a killing move in the Mu family's martial arts.
Once the sword wheel was unleashed, all things in its path were to be chopped into pieces and annihilated, its momentum terrifying!
Swish!
Jiang Wu Ming, like a humanoid lightning bolt, flickered and instantly dodged the roaring sword wheel.
Previously, he had chosen to clash head-on with Mu Qing to gauge Mu Qing's true combat strength.
Through the previous exchange, Jiang Wu Ming had a grasp of Mu Qing's power.
In terms of martial arts realm, Mu Qing was almost a major realm higher than Jiang Wu Ming. In terms of true combat strength, if Jiang Wu Ming did not use the "Thunderous Treasure Technique" and "God-Slaying Saber Art," it would be difficult to contend with Mu Qing head-on.
At this moment, Jiang Wu Ming sensed the unparalleled power of the sword wheel unleashed by Mu Qing and chose to evade its edge.
Because he knew that breaking Mu Qing's sword wheel would not be an easy task.
More importantly, he was only a two-star War God, ninth stage, and his true qi could only extend half a meter from his body, making long-range attacks impossible. Even if he risked breaking Mu Qing's sword wheel, he would be unable to inflict substantial damage on Mu Qing!
He needed to get close to Mu Qing; only then could he kill Mu Qing!
"Crack—"
The terrifying purple sword wheel instantly engulfed the afterimage left by Jiang Wu Ming. It then swept towards a large tree as thick as a well's opening behind him, snapping it instantly. The tree crashed down and was thoroughly pulverized, wood chips flying.
"Hiss…"
Seeing this scene, Xing Tian, Dongfang Xiaoyao, and Huangfu Weixia all gasped in disbelief. With their strength, if they were touched by that sword wheel, they would instantly die and turn into a pile of bloody mud!
"Xing Tian, Xiaoyao, Weixia, the boss won't let that three-star War God from beyond the domain harm you. Feel free to make your move; I'll assist you!"
At the same time, Qin Xiaozhi also saw the terrifying spectacle through his sniper scope but did not panic. Instead, as before, he remained composed and calm, speaking to remind Xing Tian, Dongfang Xiaoyao, and Huangfu Weixia.
Because he believed that the young man in front of them could kill Mu Qing!
Just as the young man had believed Qin Xiaozhi could disperse the sword qi unleashed by Mu Qing!
"Yes!"
Xing Tian, Dongfang Xiaoyao, and Huangfu Weixia snapped back to attention, replied in acknowledgment, and simultaneously charged towards the other six enemies from beyond the domain, excluding Mu Qing, forming a triangular formation.
Among those six enemies from beyond the domain, four were one-star War Gods and two were nine-star martial artists.
Under normal circumstances, Dongfang Xiaoyao and the other two would be no match for them. However, with Qin Xiaozhi's assistance, it was entirely different. Those six enemies from beyond the domain had been scared witless by Qin Xiaozhi's customized sniper rifle and could not unleash their true combat strength.
Moreover, Qin Xiaozhi could still fire sneak attacks?!
"Kill them!"
Mu Qing's peripheral vision caught the movement of Dongfang Xiaoyao and the other two. He immediately gave a cold order to his subordinates to kill them.
"Yes, sir!"
After evading, those six enemies from beyond the domain found that the gunfire had not resumed, and their fear lessened slightly. Upon hearing Mu Qing's command, they loudly acknowledged.
However—
Before they could act, gunfire erupted once more.
"Bang—"
"Pfft—"
A nine-star martial artist's head exploded before he could dispel the fear in his heart!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The remaining five enemies from beyond the domain's faces turned ashen, their bodies moving involuntarily as if losing control, and they began to dodge again.
"I@!%￥…"
At the same time, Mu Qing erupted in furious curses.
He had just ordered his subordinates to kill Dongfang Xiaoyao and the other two, but as soon as he spoke, another subordinate was killed by a mysterious weapon…
This made him want to explode!
In his fury, Mu Qing abruptly turned, raising the treasure sword in his hand, intending to slay Dongfang Xiaoyao and the other two with a single sword strike to vent his anger and dispel the fear in his subordinates' hearts.
Whoosh!
However—
Before his treasure sword could descend, a sharp whistling sound broke the air.
Jiang Wu Ming, like a phantom, instantly appeared beside and to the side of Mu Qing. His hands gripped the battle saber tightly, and he slashed towards Mu Qing!
With this saber strike, Jiang Wu Ming again employed the martial art created by his father, Jiang Zhan!
The third stance of the God-Slaying Saber Art—
River Break!
With a single saber strike, even rivers would be forced to stop flowing!
The true qi battle saber reappeared, then fused with the furiously surging secret power, transmitting to the customized battle saber, transforming into an almost tangible saber glow, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations, and ferociously hacking towards Mu Qing!
"Scram!!"
Mu Qing, who was about to attack Dongfang Xiaoyao and the other two, sensed Jiang Wu Ming's attack and had no choice but to turn around, letting out an angry roar, and unleashed another purple sword wheel.
Boom!!
The white saber glow and the purple sword wheel collided, and a world-shaking explosion erupted once more. The terrifying energy wave swept across the surroundings, blasting open the ground to form a large pit, and all the plants and trees around were reduced to fragments.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Mu Qing used his protective true qi to block the sweeping energy wave, but he was still forced back three steps by the impact.
On the other side, Jiang Wu Ming retreated a full five steps before stopping.
In this exchange, Jiang Wu Ming was at a disadvantage.
However—
All of this seemed to be within Jiang Wu Ming's expectations, and his face showed no surprise.
Conversely, as he retreated, white light flickered between his eyebrows. A terrifying spiritual power, hidden within the energy storm, silently approached Mu Qing, then, with lightning speed, merged into Mu Qing's head, entering Mu Qing's spiritual world!
"How can your spiritual attack harm me?!"
Due to the energy storm, Mu Qing did not sense or discern Jiang Wu Ming's spiritual attack in time and was caught off guard. However, he sensed that Jiang Wu Ming's spiritual power was not strong and let out a disdainful cold snort.
As he snorted, Mu Qing's figure in the spiritual world suddenly stood up.
As if to respond to Mu Qing, the spiritual power activated by Jiang Wu Ming instantly split into five within Mu Qing's spiritual world, evolving into five spirit flying swords that formed a five-element sword array. They flew above Mu Qing's head, shooting out streaks of sword light, completely engulfing Mu Qing.
"Break for me!!"
Mu Qing roared, and the figure in his spiritual world fiercely swung the treasure sword in his hand, also unleashing a sword wheel that spun upwards from below.
In an instant, several streaks of sword light were shattered by the sword wheel, turning into nothingness.
Even though Mu Qing was only a three-star War God, seventh stage, after descending to Earth, Jiang Wu Ming's spiritual power cultivation was only a one-star War God, eleventh stage. He was unable to inflict any damage on Mu Qing—he relied on his powerful spiritual will to break Jiang Wu Ming's spiritual power attack!
However—
At this moment, Jiang Wu Ming's figure reappeared in front of Mu Qing.
The young man gripped his saber with both hands again and unleashed a saber strike.
The fourth stance of the God-Slaying Saber Art—
Heaven Split!
