Our Celestial Beast Clan, Truly Underestimated

Hua Xu was completely stunned. Were women from the outside world really this fierce?

She had attacked the Grand Elder without hesitation?

He had originally been thinking of what excuse he could use to get them out of there. But now that Fu Jinyu had made a move, there was nothing this Fifth Elder could do.

“Courting death!”

Hong Jingshan let out a cold snort and merely took one step forward. The black power surrounding him erupted in an instant.

Rumble!

The black qi transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

Fu Jinyu’s attack not only failed to reach its target, but she was also sent flying by the terrifying force.

It wasn’t just Fu Jinyu. Everyone standing there was forced back.

Hong Jingshan was at the sixth level of the World-Breaking Realm. None of the people around him could withstand his power.

“Grand Elder, please show mercy!”

Hua Xu held Hua Die under one arm as he retreated into the sky. “This is our ruin. Your power could easily destroy it! The Sect Master will be furious when he returns!”

“Stop trying to use him to pressure me! That insolent ant has no sense of respect or hierarchy. Even if the Sect Master were standing before me, I would still attack!”

Hong Jingshan let out another cold snort and raised one finger. A razor-sharp blade appeared above his head.

Whoosh!

The blade transformed into a streak of black light, moving so quickly that no one had time to react.

Fu Jinyu immediately activated her Unsealed State. The six blades behind her simultaneously slashed toward the incoming blade.

Clang, clang, clang…

The moment they collided, all of Fu Jinyu’s blades shattered.

After all, the gap between their realms was simply too great.

However, Fu Jinyu took advantage of the brief exchange to alter the angle of Hong Jingshan’s blade, allowing her to dodge it.

Whoosh!

The blade quickly turned around in midair. The tremendous force behind it caused the air to boom repeatedly.

Fu Jinyu unleashed her power and once again restored the blades of her Unsealed State.

Just as she was preparing to face the attack again, Xu Mu suddenly switched places with her.

Swish!

The blade instantly pierced Xu Mu’s body, then vanished.

Hong Jingshan frowned slightly. Just as he was wondering what had happened, his own blade suddenly shot toward Wu Kui.

The blade was moving far too quickly, and Wu Kui was only a meter away. As a first-level World-Breaker, he had no time to react.

Before he could even release his qi, the blade had pierced his body.

Fortunately, Hong Jingshan reacted swiftly and immediately dispelled the attack, preventing the blade from passing completely through him.

Otherwise, Wu Kui would have either died or suffered severe injuries.

After the blade disappeared, Wu Kui, who had been watching from a distance, began breathing heavily. Cold sweat and blood from his wound streamed down his forehead.

“I have one more thing to say. Please hear me out.”

Xu Mu slowly descended onto a rock. “I should have the right to speak now, shouldn’t I?”

Hua Die stared at Xu Mu in disbelief. What had he done just now? He had moved as fast as if he had teleported.

Hua Xu also fixed his gaze on Xu Mu. This man was clearly only at the Transcendent Realm, yet he had neutralized the Grand Elder’s attack. He was truly unfathomable.

Before Xu Mu could say anything else, several more powerful figures appeared around them.

Nearly all of them floated in the sky, proving that they were elders of the clan.

“What do you want to say?”

Hua Xu was the first to question Xu Mu. He was afraid that Hong Jingshan, unable to accept the humiliation, would launch another attack.

“It’s very simple—a matter of choice. To be honest, these two women have already been claimed by me. In other words, they’re mine.”

Xu Mu looked toward Hong Jingshan. “They don’t want to join you, so let them leave. If any of you dare attack them, I believe I can easily kill everyone below the second level of the World-Breaking Realm by myself. Everyone.”

[Favorability +10]

Fu Jinyu gazed at Xu Mu in the distance. Why did he suddenly seem even more handsome than before?

[Favorability +10]

A smile also appeared on Nalan Shisan’s face.

“Ridiculous! You’re merely at the Transcendent Realm, yet you claim you can kill everyone below the second level of the World-Breaking Realm? Do you think knowing one technique that redirects attacks makes you invincible?”

Wu Kui was still seething with resentment. “Unseal!”

Rumble!

Dark power erupted from his body, eventually forming a black crown and blades behind his back.

Whoosh!

The rock beneath his feet exploded. In the blink of an eye, he flashed above Xu Mu.

Swish, swish, swish!

The blades behind him slashed toward Xu Mu from every direction.

A black sword appeared in Xu Mu’s hand.

Bang, bang, bang…

His attacks suddenly accelerated several times over, creating more than a dozen arm-shaped afterimages.

He effortlessly knocked away all six blades that had attacked him.

Not only that, but several wounds appeared on Wu Kui’s body at the same time, each one deep enough to expose bone.

Splurt!

Blood gushed from the wounds.

Wu Kui’s eyes widened in disbelief as his body fell uncontrollably to the ground.

The blades flashing behind him all vanished, and he lost the ability to fight on the spot.

Shock!

Aside from Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan, everyone watching was so stunned that they could not utter a word.

They thought they must have seen incorrectly. How could someone at the Transcendent Realm instantly defeat a World-Breaker from the Heavenly Demon Clan?

How was this possible?

The Heavenly Demon Clan had always been proud of themselves. They had once been a first-rate clan, standing at the pinnacle of the Inner Realm.

At the same level, they could defeat more than ninety percent of the other races in the Inner Realm.

Yet today, one of the younger-generation elders had been defeated by someone who surpassed him by several levels.

And this young man was not at the peak or even the late stage of the Transcendent Realm. He was only at the mid stage!

“I remember now! You’re Xu Mu—the Xu Mu who became the Martial Arts Champion!”

Wu Kui finally recognized the person before him. He watched every Martial Arts Champion competition each year.

That was because his father had named him after the Martial Arts Champion. His father’s goal had been for him to become the leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan as well.

“Xu Mu!”

Hong Jingshan narrowed his eyes in the distance. He remembered him too. After all, Xu Mu had taken all the glory from this year’s Martial Arts Champion competition.

“That’s right. It’s me.”

Xu Mu’s expression remained cold. “My people are also members of the Heavenly Demon Clan, so I didn’t kill him. I avoided his vital points.”

Hong Jingshan examined Wu Kui, who was lying on the ground. The wounds on his body indeed posed no threat to his life.

“Looks like we have an agreement, Grand Elder. We’ll be leaving now. Just pretend we’re dead from this point on, and we’ll stay out of each other’s way.”

After Xu Mu finished speaking, he walked toward Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan.

Hong Jingshan did not stop them. He had not expected Xu Mu to be this powerful.

How long had it been since the Martial Arts Champion competition? He remembered that Xu Mu had not even reached the Transcendent Realm during the competition, yet he was already at the mid stage.

No matter how angry he was, he would not gamble with the lives of so many members of the Heavenly Demon Clan.

The unspoken rule between the Inner and Outer Realms was that only those at the third level of the World-Breaking Realm could intervene. Even if Xu Mu truly went on a killing spree, they could not join forces with other clans to deal with someone from the Outer Realm, especially when he was only at the Transcendent Realm.

“Xu Mu, you’re incredible…”

“Look out!”

Xu Mu quickly shoved Nalan Shisan aside.

Boom!

Xu Mu was suddenly sent flying. Like a cannonball, he shot a thousand meters away and slammed heavily into a distant hillside.

Nalan Shisan stared in shock at the middle-aged man standing only inches away from her, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

She exclaimed in shock, “Moving at supersonic speed without producing a sonic boom, breaking through the limits of space… Seventh tier!”

“It seems our Celestial Demon clan has truly been underestimated.”

The middle-aged man stood there with his hands clasped behind his back.
