The Role of Divine-Level Techniques

Zi Wangyou's eyes widened in disbelief. Before she could react, Chen Xuan was already in front of her.

The woodchopping knife in his hand slashed out in an instant.

Seeing this, Zi Wangyou immediately used her longsword to block.

Boom!

Their weapons clashed at that moment, golden electricity and purple flames colliding with each other.

The terrifying ripples from the explosion spread out in all directions, causing the nearby buildings to collapse with a crash.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate for only a second or two before Chen Xuan's Qi was clearly overpowered. Just as he was about to be sent flying, he suddenly transformed into a current of electricity.

Relieving the pressure on his body, he passed through Zi Wangyou and appeared behind her.

"Mountain Cleaver!"

Boom!

Golden arcs of lightning instantly wreaked havoc upon Zi Wangyou.

Zi Wangyou's body was sent flying. She adjusted her posture in mid-air and finally landed steadily on the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Mu nodded to himself. As expected of the male lead, he was indeed formidable.

Zi Wangyou gently swayed her body, and the zipper of her leather jacket automatically slid down a few inches.

"Interesting..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Xuan charged at her once again.

Zi Wangyou continuously swung her sword within the area, but Chen Xuan's figure was like lightning, flickering rapidly around her.

Even Zi Wangyou, who was a whole major realm above Chen Xuan, found it difficult to catch him.

But Zi Wangyou did not stop. Her attacks were incredibly graceful, as if she were dancing, relentlessly chasing after Chen Xuan's figure to strike.

Obviously, she understood one thing.

Her cultivation realm was much higher than Chen Xuan's, and while Chen Xuan was using a high-level cultivation method, she was merely accelerating her slashes.

Chen Xuan's Qi would definitely deplete rapidly. Once his Qi was exhausted, it would be his time to die.

She was not wrong in her thinking, but she had overlooked one person: Xu Mu.

Swish!

Zi Wangyou, who was continuously pursuing Chen Xuan, suddenly widened her eyes as a black longsword pierced through her leather jacket from behind.

Zi Wangyou immediately dodged into the distance, a smile still lingering on her face. "I almost forgot about you, you sneaky bastard. Are you curious as to why you didn't hurt me?"

Xu Mu also furrowed his brows slightly. He had used his Qi just now, and he hadn't held back his strength at all.

Zi Wangyou unzipped her leather jacket, revealing the brownish-yellow inner armor she wore underneath.

"An eighth-grade natural treasure, the Thick Earth Grass?"

With a single glance, Xu Mu recognized the raw material of this armor woven from brownish-yellow plants.

"You really are knowledgeable. That's right, what I'm wearing is the Thick Earth Grass. Although it's a type of grass, it has incredibly strong resilience. The key is that it's lightweight. Almost anyone capable has one."

Before Zi Wangyou could finish speaking, Chen Xuan attacked her again.

But this time, she didn't choose to engage Chen Xuan. Instead, she locked her target onto Xu Mu.

Compared to the others, Xu Mu was much harder to deal with.

"Old Chen, hold off your attack!"

At this moment, Xu Mu held his longsword, quietly waiting for Zi Wangyou.

Just as Zi Wangyou was about to reach him, Xu Mu suddenly took a step back and executed the first stance of the Void Afterimage Sword.

Mirror-Breaking Sword.

Although Xu Mu had fully mastered the divine-level technique he had acquired and knew how to execute it,

he didn't know what kind of effect it would have on the enemy.

The last time, he had used it on the red A-class wanted criminal, Xie Wangwei.

It seemed to make Xie Wangwei see his former boss. Xu Mu hadn't dared to follow up with an attack, as the opponent was simply too strong.

But facing this Zi Wangyou, Xu Mu could use it boldly and without worry.

Seeing Xu Mu swing his sword, Zi Wangyou instinctively blocked.

As the two swords clashed, the clanging sound of metal rang out first.

In the next moment, the space around Zi Wangyou's body seemed to shatter.

Crack!

The space was like thin, transparent glass. After it shattered, the surroundings returned to normal.

Zi Wangyou was still Zi Wangyou; her appearance hadn't changed, but her eyes were now filled with a hint of terror.

Xu Mu didn't show any mercy. Taking advantage of her distraction, his longsword instantly thrust toward her neck.

Seeing the scene today, he, who never liked to meddle in other people's business, had decided to eliminate a menace for the people and eradicate this Immortality Research Institute.

Clang!

Zi Wangyou knocked Xu Mu's black longsword away with a strike of her own.

Seeing this, Xu Mu narrowed his eyes. He had originally thought it would be something like an illusion array, making people see what they feared the most.

The goal was to distract the enemy and then attack their vitals.

Now it seemed he had guessed wrong.

Take Zi Wangyou for example; after being hit by the move, she instantly reacted and blocked the attack.

Xu Mu carefully recalled the ability of this divine-level technique. The first stance, the Mirror-Breaking Sword, shattered the enemy's cognition.

Could it be...

Xu Mu suddenly lunged at Zi Wangyou.

Using his black longsword, he continuously attacked Zi Wangyou above her neck.

Zi Wangyou struggled to parry the blows.

In Xu Mu's eyes, her combat skills were also incredibly strong, almost on par with Ye Chen's.

"Your sword is broken!"

Xu Mu suddenly said.

"Kid, you're bull... Impossible, how could my weapon..."

Zi Wangyou looked down at the longsword in her hand and immediately let go.

After the longsword left her hand, it reverted back into a bracelet pendant.

Seeing this, Xu Mu finally understood. To put it bluntly, this move was a mental attack.

Mental strength was very difficult to cultivate, so when facing this kind of technique, even those with very high cultivation realms would find it hard to cope.

There is no harm without comparison. Compared to the previous Xie Wangwei, this Zi Wangyou was truly worlds apart.

After being hit by the move, Xie Wangwei had immediately used vines to wrap himself up airtightly.

Clearly, he knew he had been hit and chose to protect himself at once.

On the other hand, Zi Wangyou probably still didn't know what had happened even now.

"Both of your legs have been pierced by me, and you still want to run?"

Xu Mu quickly chased after her.

Zi Wangyou, who was flying backward in retreat, looked down at her legs.

Her eyes widened, and she stumbled, falling directly to the ground.

She looked at her legs. Both of her knees had been pierced, blood was gushing out, and pain spread throughout her entire body.

"Impossible! At my realm, how could I be beaten like this by him? This is an illusion array!"

Watching Xu Mu attack again, Zi Wangyou suddenly reached out and grabbed the blade of Xu Mu's sword.

Blood from her palm dripped down her wrist. The real, intense pain instantly woke her up.

She looked down at her legs; they were perfectly fine.

"Why aren't you wearing any clothes? Hurry up and cover yourself with your hands!" Xu Mu continued.

"Like hell I am!"

Zi Wangyou roared in anger, and the Qi on her body erupted to its limit.

Purple light, with her at the center, swallowed everything in all directions.

Boom!

Xu Mu was also sent flying by this force.

Zi Wangyou looked back at Xu Mu, panting heavily. She broke out in a cold sweat. This kid was too bizarre!

He gave her a sense of fear. Even though she clearly had the advantage in cultivation realm, she didn't dare to fight Xu Mu at all.

What was that move just now?

She clearly hadn't seen him carve any array formations, so how could she have hallucinations?

She quickly fled toward the depths, disappearing from the area in the blink of an eye.

Swish!

Chen Xuan immediately chased after her, but the difference in their speeds was too vast; he couldn't catch up at all.

Xu Mu was extremely excited at this moment. As expected of a divine-level technique.

As long as he could master this, it might become his killer move in the future.

He also rushed toward the depths, suddenly noticing Liang Yi, whose face was covered in blood, being besieged by Jiang Huihui and Dai Xingluo.
