"Brother Mu!"
Seeing this, Chen Xuan also turned and chased after him.
Fang Kui immediately looked back upon seeing the situation.
But Chen Xuan pointed at Fang Kui, "You go back!"
"No! Chen Xuan, I won't just stand by and watch you die!"
Fang Kui said, her eyes red.
"Senior Zhao, Fang Kui is in your care!"
After saying this, Chen Xuan immediately followed Xu Mu.
Zhao Shengli grabbed Fang Kui's arm and ran towards the outside.
"Let me go! Old Zhao! You let me go!"
Fang Kui struggled incessantly.
"That person wants to kill you! You must leave with me!"
Zhao Shengli instead increased his speed.
...
At the same time.
Du Yan's eyes were bloodshot as he charged towards Xie Wangwei once more.
Seeing this, Xie Wangwei couldn't hide the excitement on his face, "Ah! What beautiful material, Xiao Yan, my bloodline is trembling, a masterpiece is about to be born!"
"Thousand Thorns, Ten Thousand Vines!"
A brilliant green light erupted from Du Yan's body.
He raised his right arm, his entire arm bursting with a dazzling dark green radiance.
Bang!
His arm smashed forcefully into the ground.
Boom!
The earth within a range of several dozen meters around Xie Wangwei shattered instantly.
Countless vines, each covered in sharp thorns, shot straight up from underground.
After releasing his technique, Du Yan immediately looked towards the sky.
Xie Wangwei was currently charging towards him.
Du Yan gathered his power again, his hands continuously flinging green sword energies towards the sky.
But he discovered that Xie Wangwei, high above, had his hands stretched forward, one high, one low.
Behind him, vines intertwined, forming a gigantic beast's skull.
The skull now opened its maw, each canine tooth taller than a person.
It swallowed Xie Wangwei in one bite.
All of Du Yan's attacks struck the skull, failing to inflict any damage.
The enormous skull descended from the sky, and as it neared Du Yan, it suddenly opened its jaws and clamped down on him.
"Xiao Yan, let me teach you another move, Fangs of the Beast!"
Boom!
The green light instantly exploded, transforming into a massive light sphere over ten meters wide, devouring everything within it.
Outside the light sphere, a hurricane-force wind swept up, uprooting many trees.
Bang!
Du Yan's body was blasted out from within the light sphere.
His janitor's uniform was in tatters, his entire body covered in blood.
"Did I go too far?"
Xie Wangwei, who had just started walking towards Du Yan, immediately turned his head.
Swish, swish, swish...
Rows of vines suddenly shot up from beneath his feet, weaving together into a shield.
Bang!
A loud crash echoed as the shield blocked the attack.
Xie Wangwei stomped his foot on the ground, and the earth within a radius of over ten meters began to writhe slightly.
"You stepped on my vines."
Xie Wangwei suddenly looked in the direction where Xu Mu was.
"What?"
Xu Mu quickly performed Cloud Step, leaping into the sky, but the moment he jumped up,
vines burst from the ground, entangling his single foot.
Whoosh!
Xie Wangwei charged towards Xu Mu's location. Xu Mu's mind raced, suddenly remembering he still had one divine-level technique.
Perfect to test on this person.
He pushed the Qi energy of his Divine Passage late stage to its limit, executing the first form of the Ethereal Phantom Sword technique, Mirror-Shattering Sword.
He gripped the black longsword tightly and slashed forcefully towards Xie Wangwei.
Crack!
No sword energy was visible, only the sound of shattering glass seemed to be heard.
Xie Wangwei, who was about to attack, suddenly stopped, staring in shock at the person who had appeared before him.
"Damn! Boss! How did you get here?"
As soon as the words left Xie Wangwei's mouth, he shook his head vigorously, "No! Didn't you get crippled?"
He rapidly unleashed his power, causing more vines to erupt from the ground, wrapping around him like a cocoon.
Closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, the vines that were entwined around him gradually dispersed.
He looked back and saw that Du Yan, who had been lying on the ground, had disappeared.
"What kind of technique is this?"
Xie Wangwei slapped his own head, "Could it be that seeing this kid Xu Mu made me think of the past? Hah, nostalgia is an art I can't quite manage yet."
He smiled and turned to walk deeper into the ruins.
...
Xu Mu was currently running back, carrying Du Yan over his shoulder. He spotted Chen Xuan in the distance at a glance.
"Old Chen, what are you doing here?"
"Are you kidding? Did you think I'd let you be here alone?"
Chen Xuan saw Du Yan on Xu Mu's back and sighed, "Brother Mu, you're terrifying."
"Terrifying my ass! I almost died."
Xu Mu had been trapped by the opponent, who had clearly used a killing move.
Xie Wangwei wasn't an Adept, but a Transcendent Realm expert.
If he had actually been hit, it wouldn't have been a simple matter of feeling some pain.
However, he still didn't understand the effect of his own move.
It seemed that after he swung his sword, he heard Xie Wangwei shout "Boss."
Did the move just make people see illusions? Did he see his former leader?
Xu Mu shook his head slightly. It was better to retreat for now.
Finally, the group made it out of the ruins again.
As soon as they emerged, Xu Mu saw janitors gathering in the distance.
"Xu Mu!"
From within the crowd, Jiang Huihui blew a bubble and walked over quickly.
When she saw Du Yan on Xu Mu's back, her jaw dropped on the spot, "This is... how is it possible? Who could beat Du Yan into this state?"
The many janitors gathered around also noticed Du Yan.
Those who had originally intended to enter were all stunned upon seeing this.
"Damn! What's going on? Even Du Yan is seriously injured, how could any of us survive?"
"But, who exactly is this guy? Du Yan is badly hurt, yet he's fine."
"That's obvious. Du Yan must have been injured protecting them."
...
Amidst the discussions of the surrounding crowd, a tall, slender man walked over.
His long hair was tied in a topknot, and his features leaned towards the delicate side.
He appeared to be around thirty-five or thirty-six years old. On his arm hung a white armband with the character "Four" written on it.
"What happened?"
This man came up to Xu Mu and asked.
Seeing the other's armband, Xu Mu was inwardly surprised. It was actually the captain ranked fourth in the sequence.
He used his Divine Eye to glance at him.
Name: Ma Henggu
Identity: Janitor, son of the Patriarch of the Taichu Hall
Favorability: 0
Destiny Level: 5 (Max 10)
He was inwardly shocked. So it was him.
This person had been given significant characterization in the plot.
Because it was precisely the Taichu Hall that taught the Dragon King, Ye Chen, a lesson in the mid-stage of the plot.
Xiao Ran died saving Ye Chen, and Ye Chen remained despondent for half a year.
But, being the main character after all, he later buckled down and, disregarding the janitors' opposition, wiped out the entire Taichu Hall.
And the conflict between Ye Chen and the Taichu Hall originated from just a minor incident.
It happened in an ancient ruins where Ye Chen and several disciples of the Taichu Hall were competing for a treasure.
Both sides fought fiercely. Ye Chen killed a few disciples and seized the treasure.
But then a Taichu Hall elder took the treasure back.
Although Ye Chen managed to escape, he held onto this grudge.
After all, in Ye Chen's eyes, what he saw was his.
Xu Mu looked at Ma Henggu. This was someone worth interacting with.
He said calmly, "There's a Red Grade-A fugitive from the Sanitation Department inside."
