The First Marquis of Daxuan

Master Xuanxuan's figure flickered, and he instantly appeared dozens of feet away.

A burst of force exploded, sending a group of people flying backward.

After staggering to the ground, everyone coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Their faces were filled with terror.

Apart from Xuanwu and Su Mu, everyone present joined forces, including dozens of Dao Saint Realm experts.

They originally thought they could challenge Master Xuanxuan.

result.

Master Xuanxuan easily broke through their defenses.

In front of Master Xuanxuan, their fighting power was like that of children.

Master Xuanxuan didn't even need to take it seriously to instill despair in them.

“I told you, no matter how much you struggle, it’s just a little trouble.”

Master Xuanxuan shook his head and sighed, “Why can’t you accept your fate and honestly do what you should do?”
What's the point of all this struggling?

You can't change anything.

The twelve guardians, Black Dragon Ao Kun, and those Dao Saint Realm experts all showed expressions of anger.

Yes, Master Xuanxuan's strength is unfathomable.

But they are all living, breathing human beings.

Should they be controlled and sacrificed at will?

Why can't they struggle?
Even if they ultimately cannot defeat Master Xuanxuan, they cannot let Master Xuanxuan be too pleased.

“Master Xuanxuan, you are too self-righteous.”

Do you think we're just ants and shouldn't have our own thoughts?
"So I should just let you do whatever you want with me?"

A Dao Saint Realm expert coldly said, "Today we will show you that even an ant can bite when angered!"

He roared, and the power within his body surged.

Then he lunged forward, his entire body transforming into a ball of crimson light.

"Master Xuanxuan, try this move of mine!"

Another Dao Saint Realm expert roared in anger.

They were utterly enraged.

Master Xuanxuan is too arrogant, and they are not to be trifled with.

Since they can't survive, then even in death, they will splatter Master Xuanxuan's blood all over him!

Master Xuanxuan remained expressionless and raised his hand.

boom!
A powerful force descended from the sky, instantly crushing the two Dao Saint Realm experts into dust.

They fought desperately, but before they could even touch the hem of Master Xuanxuan's robe, they vanished without a trace.

The difference in strength is like heaven and earth.

An atmosphere of despair permeated the air.

Even Xuanwu, standing in the distance, was stunned by this scene.

It originally wanted to sneak away from the Yellow Sand Boundary, but it found that it had nowhere to go.

Unless it kills Master Xuanxuan, it will eventually become a puppet.

It sneaked back, intending to launch a surprise attack, but instead witnessed this despairing scene.

Although he was also at the Dao Ancestor Realm, Master Xuanxuan still gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth.

In a flash of thought, Xuanwu was already on the verge of firing the arrow.

It spewed out a stream of jet-black water from its mouth.

Chi Chi.

Where the water flows, everything seems to be corroded.

Seeing Xuanwu make a move, the despair of the crowd lessened slightly.

"Let's do it!"

The crowd roared and charged forward again.

Master Xuanxuan looked unconvinced. He shook his head and stomped his foot heavily.

boom!
A powerful force erupted.

The shockwave churned like boiling water, sending everyone flying.

Master Xuanxuan's hair flew wildly, and his Taoist robe billowed even without wind.

The aura emanating from his entire being was earth-shattering.

puff!
The group landed on the ground again.

Apart from a few people who were standing unsteadily, the others couldn't even get up.

The sounds of vomiting blood rose and fell.

The blood has stained the yellow sand on the ground.

"Xuanwu, do you also want to oppose me? Have you forgotten who gave you life?"

Master Xuanxuan glanced at Xuanwu and said expressionlessly.

Xuanwu took a few steps back, his face full of solemnity.

"I don't know who gave me life, but no one can control me."

Xuanwu's eyes were filled with vigilance as he spoke coldly.

"If you let me leave the Yellow Sands now, I will not interfere in your grudges with them."

But if you want to control me, if you want my life, then I'll have no choice but to fight you to the death.

"Fight me to the death? Do you think you're worthy?"

Master Xuanxuan laughed heartily.

"It's your honor that I'm willing to use you. Why can't you understand this?"

He said coldly, "It's about time. You can all go and die now."

He slowly raised his hand, palm up, and then clenched it tightly.

boom!
A sound like muffled thunder came from the sky.

The sky seemed to have collapsed.

An overwhelming sense of oppression descended upon everyone.

Everyone felt as if the blood in their bodies had instantly spiraled out of control.

Blood beads spilled from their pores and then began to fly into the air, merging into the dark clouds.

Even Xuanwu is no exception.

The dark clouds quickly turned blood red.

The crowd gradually collapsed to the ground, completely losing the strength to resist, and could only watch helplessly as their lives continued to slip away.

Just at this time.

suddenly.

Su Mu opened his eyes.

Master Xuanxuan frowned, and his movements paused for a moment.

He turned around and his gaze fell on Su Mu.

Su Mu had already stood up, and the flames rising from the Yin-Yang Cauldron had shrunk to a small flame at some point.

That drop of Emperor Ancestor's blood still floated inside the Yin-Yang Cauldron, enveloped in flames, appearing crystal clear.

The aura of the Emperor's blood that had been emanating from it also vanished without a trace.

Master Xuanxuan first glanced at the Yin-Yang Cauldron, and then looked at Su Mu.

Why did it stop?

He frowned and blurted out the question.

Su Mu chuckled to himself.

He hadn't encountered such an imperious tone in a long time.

Does this mean she's being used as a pawn in his game?

“Master Xuanxuan, even now, you still refuse to reveal your true form to the world?”

Su Mu looked at Master Xuanxuan and spoke calmly.

Upon hearing Su Mu's words, everyone's expression changed.

Is the mysterious sage before us not the real person?

Even if they weren't real people, how could they be driven to this state?

If it were the real body, how powerful would it be?

Master Xuanxuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"No wonder you've brought me so many surprises one after another; you certainly have a good eye."

Master Xuanxuan said calmly, "For such a trivial matter, I can easily send an avatar here with a single word. Why bother my true body?"

"Young man, your alchemy skills are excellent. If you can help me completely refine this drop of Emperor Ancestor's blood, I can give you a chance."

"An opportunity to be your slave?"

Su Mu said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Ha ha!"

Black Dragon Ao Kun laughed loudly. It was covered in blood and lay on the ground, unable to even get up, but its mouth was still busy.

"Well said, Xuanxuan, do you think everyone else is a fool?"
Since you can't refine the Emperor Ancestor's blood yourself, you want to use Su Mu to refine it to an absorbable level, and then you can absorb it.

They even said they were giving people a chance.

"Wouldn't it be better if they absorbed the blood of the ancestral emperor themselves?"

"Iron Dragon Ao Kun said sarcastically."

"Ao Kun, you're wrong."

Su Mu calmly said, "Only someone like Master Xuanxuan, who lacks self-confidence, would think of absorbing the blood of the Emperor Ancestor to break through."

I wouldn't even look at something like that.

"My current level of skill is due to my own hard work."

I don't need to take such crooked paths.

As he spoke, Su Mu suddenly raised his hand, pointed his fingers into a sword shape, and swung it forward.

Swish!
A wisp of the Emperor's blood within the Yin-Yang Cauldron separated, transforming into a seven-colored ray of light that instantly entered the body of the black dragon Ao Kun.

It was so fast that even Master Xuanxuan couldn't stop it.

boom!
The aura of the black dragon Ao Kun exploded, and those bloody wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its aura also began to rise steadily, from the initial stage to the middle stage and then to the advanced stage of the Dao Saint Realm!
In just a few breaths, the aura of the Black Dragon Ao Kun had already returned to the level of the perfect Dao Saint Realm.

Moreover, his aura continued to surge upwards, showing faint signs of recovering to the Dao Ancestor realm.

Black Dragon Ao Kun let out an excited roar.

boom!
As if something had been broken, the black dragon Ao Kun circled and flew into the sky, its aura having returned to the Dao Ancestor Realm.

With just a wisp of Emperor Ancestor's blood, Black Dragon Ao Kun was restored to the Dao Ancestor Realm!

Black Dragon Ao Kun circled and flew excitedly.

Master Xuanxuan's face turned extremely gloomy.

Although Su Mu did not purify all of that drop of Emperor Ancestor's blood, he still purified a portion of it.

Su Mu actually gave this part to the Black Dragon Ao Kun!
How could he bear to do that?

Xuanxuan Shangren was filled with rage. Even if Su Mu was willing, what right did he have to share a wisp of the Emperor Ancestor's blood with the Black Dragon Ao Kun?

Those are his things!

"You're asking for it!"

Master Xuanxuan said in a cold voice.

"Haha, I'm back again!"

The one who answered him was Ao Kun, the Black Dragon.

Black Dragon Ao Kun unleashed a powerful tail lash, its tail lashing out like a cloud hanging from the sky towards Xuanxuan Shangren.

boom!
With a loud bang, the black dragon Ao Kun was sent flying in a whirl, several of its scales falling to the ground.

But Master Xuanxuan also took a step back.

This was the first time he had retreated since Master Xuanxuan appeared.

Even when facing a group of people attacking him before, he was always able to handle it with ease.

But now, he has retreated.

This retreat made everyone realize that Master Xuanxuan was not invincible.

Black Dragon Ao Kun steadied himself in mid-air.

The Dao Ancestor Realm and the Dao Saint Realm are two completely different existences.

Previously, in the Dao Saint Realm, it possessed great abilities but was unable to utilize them.

Now, it can finally fight against Master Xuanxuan at will.

Back then, Black Dragon Ao Kun and Master Xuanxuan were equally famous, and it was never afraid of Master Xuanxuan!

"Xuanxuan, it's my turn now!"

The black dragon Ao Kun roared and flew through the air toward Master Xuanxuan.

The anger that had been suppressed for so long finally erupted at this moment.

Black Dragon Ao Kun unleashed all his combat experience and skills, standing alongside Master Xuanxuan.

The roar echoed in everyone's ears.

The crowd erupted in excited cheers.

As they watched Master Xuanxuan being forced back by the Black Dragon Ao Kun, they couldn't help but raise their fists.

Master Xuanxuan was so arrogant just now, he almost killed them.

Now, Su Mu has only used a wisp of Emperor Ancestor's blood to restore the power of the Black Dragon Ao Kun to the Dao Ancestor Realm.

To be honest, it seems like Su Mu is actually stronger.

As everyone watched the battle, they couldn't help but glance at Su Mu out of the corner of their eyes.

Su Mu stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly unconcerned about Master Xuanxuan.

Everyone was secretly amazed.

Apart from Xuanwu, the others had only just met Su Mu.

They had never heard of Su Mu before.

They were all curious about where such a powerful figure had come from.

Between him and Master Xuanxuan, who is stronger?

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

Black Dragon Ao Kun and Xuanxuan Shangren separated.

Both of them were backed up several miles.

Black Dragon Ao Kun opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"happy!"

It burst into laughter.

Master Xuanxuan looked down at his arm, where a deep, bone-revealing wound had been torn by the claws of the black dragon Ao Kun.

Although Black Dragon Ao Kun's injuries were much more severe than his, Master Xuanxuan was still extremely angry.

How could he end up with both sides suffering heavy losses when dealing with a black dragon named Ao Kun?
"You have angered me."

Master Xuanxuan said coldly, "You could have died without even realizing it."

But now, I've changed my mind.

I will make you die in agony.

I will make you regret angering me.

Master Xuanxuan spread his arms, and a violent aura erupted from his body.

boom!
The sky darkened again.

The entire Yellow Sand Realm trembled violently, and beams of light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire realm in an instant.

Streams of power converged along the veins in the air and gathered above Master Xuanxuan's head, then poured into his body.

The already incredibly powerful aura emanating from Master Xuanxuan began to intensify once again.

At the same time, everyone felt as if a shackle had been placed on them, and the power within their bodies began to become stagnant.

Even the black dragon Ao Kun showed an ugly expression on its face, and it tried to breathe out a breath of dragon fire.

But the power of that dragon's breath was much weaker than before.

"This yellow sand boundary is a burial ground I prepared specifically for you. Here, you have no right to fight me!"
I can turn you into ordinary people anytime I want!

Master Xuanxuan laughed wildly.

"Noisy."

A voice interrupted his laughter.

Su Mu calmly threw a punch forward.

His punch looked very slow, but the moment he threw it, he was already in front of Master Xuanxuan.

boom!
The fist made intimate contact with Master Xuanxuan's cheek.

Master Xuanxuan, who was just laughing wildly, was sent flying by a punch.

That face was already distorted from being beaten.

The look of astonishment was still frozen on his face.

The process of infusing that power was abruptly interrupted.

Everyone felt the power within their bodies begin to obey their commands again.

Everyone's emotions were like a rollercoaster.

Their experiences on this one day were comparable to the ups and downs of most of their previous lives.

Master Xuanxuan tried to kill them several times, but failed each time.

Even someone as powerful as Master Xuanxuan was sent flying by a single punch from Su Mu.

It was so simple and brutal that it resembled a street brawl.

Could ordinary attacks really hit Master Xuanxuan?
Everyone knew in their hearts that what seemed like an ordinary punch was definitely not ordinary at all.

With Master Xuanxuan's strength, even if he stood still and let them hit him, they wouldn't be able to touch his face.

But Su Mu did it.

This only proves that Su Mu's strength is still above that of Master Xuanxuan.

At least, on this clone of Master Xuanxuan.

Su Mu followed closely behind Xuanxuan Shangren, his fists raining down on him.

The muffled thuds echoed in the air.

With a roar from Master Xuanxuan, his figure vanished and then reappeared several miles away in an instant.

Using this flash, he finally escaped from Su Mu's attack.

At this moment, Master Xuanxuan was bruised and swollen, looking extremely disheveled.

Everyone burst into laughter.

The mocking voice made Master Xuanxuan's expression even more unpleasant.

Click, click.

A cracking sound came from his bones as the broken bones were put back together.

For someone of his cultivation level, these injuries were not serious, but what he could not accept was this humiliation.

Inside the cage he had specially set up, someone he regarded as a prisoner was able to injure him to this extent!

This is like a pet owner suddenly being bitten by their pet; how could they not be angry?
Moreover, the other party also claimed his Yin-Yang Cauldron and the blood of the Emperor Ancestor as their own.

"You deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"

Master Xuanxuan said through gritted teeth.

"If you hide in the shadows for too long, your character will become like that of a rat in a sewer."

Su Mu said coldly, "The one who truly deserves to die is you."

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu's figure disappeared.

Master Xuanxuan's expression changed.

Before he could react, a fist appeared above him and slammed into his head.

Su Mu's figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, attacking Xuanxuan Shangren from all directions.

Master Xuanxuan was like a rag doll, being beaten so badly by Su Mu that he was knocked off balance and had no way to resist.

Everyone watched with great pleasure.

Only the Rat Guardian among the Twelve Guardians muttered indignantly, "Why are you scolding rats? What have we rats done to offend you?"

boom!
Su Mu's fist pierced through Xuanxuan Shangren's chest and emerged from his back.

The violent power instantly shattered Master Xuanxuan's internal organs.

Master Xuanxuan's eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

"I will come back."

Blood continued to flow from Xuanxuan Shangshang's mouth. He said unwillingly, "The next time we meet, you will die. I guarantee you will die a terrible death."

boom!
Master Xuanxuan's body exploded with a loud bang.

Su Mu snorted coldly, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body. A force enveloped the explosive power of Xuanxuan Shangren, compressing it into a dazzling ball of light.

With a swift movement of his hands, Su Mu caused the ball of light to vanish completely with a soft "poof".

The powerful Xuanxuan Shangren, who had driven everyone to despair, vanished before their very eyes, leaving not a trace behind.

However, everyone understood what Master Xuanxuan meant: what died here was an avatar, while Master Xuanxuan's true body was still alive.

His true form will come back to seek revenge on Su Mu.

Even so, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They would deal with the future later; at least for now, their lives were saved and they were safe for the time being.

"not good."

The Bull Guardian, one of the Twelve Guardians, suddenly changed his expression and exclaimed, "The Yellow Sand Realm is collapsing!"

Master Xuanxuan wants to drag us down with him!

"Damn bastard! He sealed off the space; we can't leave the Yellow Sand Realm!"
He wants to turn this place into our graveyard!

Ao Kun's expression also changed.

This Yellow Sand Realm was specially designed by Master Xuanxuan. He has now initiated the self-destruct program of the Yellow Sand Realm. Once the Yellow Sand Realm is destroyed, these people will have nowhere to escape.

"Su Mu!"

Everyone's gaze instinctively turned to the figure who had personally killed Master Xuanxuan.

That was their only hope. (End of Chapter)
