Who the hell do you think you are, you bitch

Liang Yi stared in horror, never expecting this man to still be alive.

She formed her five fingers into claws, whirling around and slashing towards Xu Mu.

But Xu Mu had already crouched down in advance and delivered another "Thousand Years of Death" towards Liang Yi.

And this one was infused with hidden force.

"Hiss!"

Liang Yi sucked in a sharp breath, tears welling up from the pain. "Bastard, I'll kill you! Kill you!"

Enduring the intense pain, she continued to erupt with power. The blue light dots on her body shone brighter than ever before.

Having discovered Xu Mu, she abandoned all fighting conventions and threw herself at him.

In normal combat, this would be a major taboo—you might just throw yourself onto your opponent's weapon.

But right now, Liang Yi just wanted to grab this man.

Xu Mu was also caught off guard, not expecting her to pounce on him like that, knocking him to the ground.

He looked at Liang Yi's hands, remembering they were poisoned. Jiang Huihui had just been scratched by them earlier and collapsed, unable to get up.

As he fell, he grabbed both of Liang Yi's wrists and kicked her in the chest.

But Liang Yi, gritting her teeth against the pain, opened her mouth and bit down on Xu Mu's calf.

"What the hell?"

Xu Mu immediately used his other foot to kick Liang Yi in the face, finally sending her flying away.

He stood up from the ground and took out his long sword from his storage space.

He was wrestling with whether to kill this woman. He had enough confidence now.

Even though this woman's cultivation had reached the peak of the mid Divine Ability stage.

But now, she had lost her cool.

Long since blinded by rage.

"I will definitely kill you!"

Tears were now streaming from Liang Yi's eyes, one hand involuntarily touching the spot where she had just received the "Thousand Years of Death."

It was both painful and numb, unbearably uncomfortable.

"You're near me, right? I'll give you a big present!"

The power around Liang Yi suddenly surged violently. "Rain of Ice!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

In that instant, needle-like ice spikes shot out from her body in all directions like raindrops.

Except for the ground, the space in front, behind, to the sides, and above her was filled with ice spikes, leaving no blind spots.

Bang bang bang...

Xu Mu watched as a distant building was first turned into a sieve by the ice spikes, then collapsed with a roar.

He immediately retreated into the distance, temporarily avoiding the brunt of her attack.

This technique must be Earth-grade or above; it would definitely consume a massive amount of Qi.

Just as Xu Mu was waiting, a black-robed figure burst into the range of his perception.

His speed was extremely fast, landing in front of Liang Yi in the blink of an eye.

All the ice spikes released by Liang Yi were blocked by him.

"Die!"

Noticing the person beside her, Liang Yi immediately attacked backhanded.

But this black-robed man grabbed her wrist with one hand. "Liang Yi, it's me!"

"I don't care who you are!"

Liang Yi roared.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet collapsed, and countless grains of yellow sand spread out in all directions.

Liang Yi was also sent flying by the shockwave, but her hand was still gripped by the black-robed man.

So, while her body was flung up, she didn't go far.

Feeling the cold ice on her hand and seeing the "ferocious ghost" before her, whose entire body was shrouded in blue light, Liang Yi finally calmed down.

"Master? It's you!"

Liang Yi excitedly knelt on the ground.

In the distance, Xu Mu's expression gradually turned grave.

Good grief, he never expected the Changsheng Research Institute to have sent a Grandmaster here too.

"It seems I need to quickly get the other wristbands. I absolutely can't let them get ahead of me."

Thinking this, Xu Mu turned and left.

Through his perception, he could clearly see the people around him. As long as there was someone, he could see the environment around that person.

This was an advantage others couldn't match.

Many people were fighting all around, but most were fighting among themselves.

Suddenly, in his perception, he discovered a person on the verge of death.

Xu Mu immediately ran over and took the wristband from his wrist.

As for whether he could survive, that depended on his luck.

"The fourth one."

Xu Mu murmured softly to himself and continued searching here.

It seemed now he could gather enough formation wristbands without needing to kill anyone.

He planned to continue scavenging, but after walking for about five or six minutes, the sky brightened again.

Xu Mu hadn't expected the period of darkness to be so short.

But even though it wasn't long, for those who had intruded into this place, it had been deadly.

It was daylight again.

Everything returned to its usual calm. Xu Mu pulled up the hood of his black robe and observed his surroundings through his perception.

Suddenly, he saw Miyako Fuka. He hadn't expected her to have entered as well.

At that moment, a middle-aged man's voice came from the distance, "If you want to leave this formation, come to me!"

The man's voice, infused with Qi, resonated like a great bell, carrying very far.

Xu Mu noticed Miyako Fuka was also heading in that direction, so he too walked towards the source of the voice.

Arriving there, Xu Mu saw quite a few people had already gathered, most wearing black robes to conceal their identities.

Many among them were also injured.

Xu Mu naturally walked over to Chen Xuan's side. His black robe looked very bulky on the back because it contained a woven bag inside.

"Old Chen."

Xu Mu said in a low voice.

"Brother Mu?"

Chen Xuan turned to look at Xu Mu beside him.

"Come with me first."

Xu Mu whispered to Chen Xuan.

The one who had summoned everyone here was precisely Liang Yi's master.

Because Liang Yi was now standing right beside him.

In that case, perhaps they were in danger. Since they already knew how to leave, there was no need to listen to this Grandmaster.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly.

Xu Mu had already checked with his perception earlier; Miao He wasn't here. So, he and Chen Xuan started walking into the distance.

"Halt!"

Liang Yi suddenly shouted coldly and blocked Xu Mu and Chen Xuan's path.

She didn't recognize Xu Mu, but Chen Xuan's attire was easy to identify.

"Fang Chu, it's you, isn't it?"

Liang Yi didn't look at Chen Xuan but instead fixed her sinister gaze on Xu Mu.

"Huh? Who's calling me?"

Right then, another black-robed man walked over from the distance and asked curiously.

Hearing this, Liang Yi instantly charged towards that Fang Chu.

Xu Mu used his perception to check the face under the black robe and discovered that the real Fang Chu had actually come.

He immediately whispered to Chen Xuan, "Let's go. Don't run, walk slowly."

Through his perception, he noticed Liang Yi's master was watching them from afar.

If they ran now, it would prove they had a guilty conscience and would definitely be chased down.

What they needed now was to walk away very naturally.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly and walked with Xu Mu towards the distant buildings.

On the other side, Fang Chu was completely baffled. Hearing a girl call his name, he had instinctively responded. What was going on?

Swish!

Liang Yi's short sword slashed towards Fang Chu without hesitation. "Fang Chu, you will die!"

Fang Chu immediately dodged and shouted coldly, "Bitch! Who the hell are you? Have I ever offended you?"

He stomped his foot on the ground.

Swish! Swish!

The yellow sand beneath his feet instantly formed two sharp spikes, stabbing towards Liang Yi's feet.

Liang Yi immediately leaped up, dodging the attack. While in mid-air, she swung her sword fiercely at Fang Chu.

Two blue sword energies, crisscrossed, shooting towards Fang Chu.

Xu Mu smiled, originally planning to watch the exciting show.

But he noticed that Dai Xingluo and Meng Wanyue were also here.

And beside them was a man with a long sword strapped to his back.

This man was circling around Dai Xingluo, his lecherous grin making Xu Mu feel sick.

Xu Mu: I have no idea.
