The Tail

Chen Xuan looked at Liu Ge over there. He immediately threw the woven bag onto the ground and went to meet him, carrying a woodcutter's blade.

Boom!

Their bodies did not touch, but their externally released Qi clashed first, creating a sound like thunder in the air.

After the collision, the surrounding buildings, just like before, first shattered but returned to their original state the very next moment.

Under this force, Chen Xuan's figure was sent flying backward.

Liu Ge was in the Grandmaster realm. Relying solely on a contest of Qi, Chen Xuan was definitely no match for him.

However, as Chen Xuan flew backward, electric currents appeared on his body once again.

Facing someone who surpassed him by an entire major stage, he could only activate the Woodcutter Domain.

Liu Ge sneered, I will kill you first!

As he spoke, he charged toward Chen Xuan.

On the other side.

Xu Mu and Zi Wangyou were engaged in a fierce battle.

After merely exchanging a few blows, Xu Mu could clearly sense that the Qi released by his opponent was much stronger than his own.

Therefore, he had no intention of fighting Zi Wangyou head-on.

He had already activated his Stealth Barrier, constantly moving around to launch sneak attacks.

Zi Wangyou's face grew increasingly irritated. Her Qi was obviously so much stronger than this man's, yet she couldn't manage to land a hit on him.

You are just a fly! Watch me swat you to death!

Zi Wangyou suddenly lowered her hands, her expression turning piercingly cold.

Whoosh!

Xu Mu's black longsword suddenly thrust toward Zi Wangyou's neck from behind.

The longsword struck the defensive Qi surrounding Zi Wangyou.

Hum!

Suddenly, a white tail appeared behind Zi Wangyou.

The tail was furry and looked to be about as thick as a person's calf.

But upon closer inspection, one would find that this tail was formed by Qi and wasn't a physical entity.

Like a python, this tail wrapped tightly around Xu Mu's body.

Oh no!

Xu Mu was deeply shocked.

He had attacked from behind precisely to leave himself time to escape.

For Zi Wangyou to attack him, she would have to turn around.

And during the time it took her to turn, Xu Mu could retreat.

But he never expected that this Zi Wangyou actually had a tail.

Caught you!

Zi Wangyou broke into a wide grin. Her figure suddenly flashed in front of Xu Mu, and she threw a heavy punch.

Boom!

Purple flames transformed into a wave of energy, blasting Xu Mu away.

Xu Mu crashed through a building, his body flying out onto the street outside the brothel. He executed the Cloud Step, stepping on thin air, and landed steadily on the ground.

Before his eyes, the shattered building instantly returned to its original state.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the newly restored building shattered once again. Zi Wangyou's body burst through it and landed in front of Xu Mu.

She looked at Xu Mu in front of her, her eyes narrowing into slits. You are unhurt?

She hadn't held back just now; that punch had landed solidly on Xu Mu's chest.

Furthermore, she had the advantage of realm suppression. If it were an ordinary person, their bones would have been shattered, but the Xu Mu before her seemed to have taken no damage at all.

I am. Your attack just now actually hurt a little.

Xu Mu lightly shook his body.

Hmph! You must have Thick Earth Grass on your body too, right?

Zi Wangyou coldly snorted. But you don't have it on your head. My next attack will land right on your face!

Whoosh!

Zi Wangyou charged at Xu Mu again, the white tail behind her still present.

Xu Mu lightly cracked his neck. The Qi on his body instantly covered him entirely, and soon, a golden glow flowed around him.

His body was completely encased in golden armor, and the battle helmet on his head featured a pair of horns.

Xu Mu was surprised to find that his current armor was different from the one he had manifested before.

Now, there were many dark red lines running across the armor.

It seemed that as his realm improved, this Heaven-tier technique would also continue to strengthen.

Zi Wangyou, who was just about to attack, suddenly stopped. Looking at Xu Mu in his golden armor inlaid with dark red, holding the black demonic longsword, she was momentarily stunned.

She had to admit, this getup was quite intimidating.

But after only a brief pause, she charged at Xu Mu once again.

Absolute power overcomes all tricks; battles in this world were ultimately decided by the strength of one's Qi.

Her realm was higher than Xu Mu's, so naturally, she wasn't afraid.

Slash!

The purple longsword in Zi Wangyou's hand swung toward Xu Mu first.

Xu Mu immediately blocked it with his black longsword.

Whoosh!

Zi Wangyou's tail, like a loosed arrow, instantly darted toward Xu Mu's face.

Just as Xu Mu prepared to dodge sideways, he was surprised to see two more identical tails appear behind Zi Wangyou.

Nether Fire!

Zi Wangyou shouted sharply.

The two white tails suddenly turned purple, erupting with intense purple flames.

The flames instantly crashed into Xu Mu's body.

Sizzle...

Xu Mu was now engulfed, turning into a man of fire as the purple flames continuously burned his body.

Seeing that Xu Mu had been hit, Zi Wangyou said indifferently, This is our clan's Earth-tier technique, Nether Fire. Unless you can forcefully dispel it with your own power, the flames will continue to burn until you are reduced to ashes.

Saying this, Zi Wangyou flashed a very affable smile. With your realm, can you dispel my Earth-tier technique?

Hehe.

Hearing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh as well. He rested his black longsword on his shoulder and simply looked at Zi Wangyou.

What? Are you surrendering without a fight?

Zi Wangyou was speaking when her eyes suddenly widened. She felt an intense burning sensation across her body, a feeling similar to the Nether Fire.

However, there were clearly no flames on her.

Boom!

Zi Wangyou immediately erupted with power, trying to dispel this scorching heat.

But no matter how much power she unleashed, she couldn't stop the burning sensation on her body.

Could it be... another illusion?

Zi Wangyou said in a low voice.

But as soon as this thought appeared, she knew she had guessed wrong.

Because the leather jacket and pants she was wearing were gradually melting, emitting a pungent smell.

This meant that flames were truly burning her body.

You brat!

Zi Wangyou's eyes practically split with rage. With a forceful jolt, she shattered her leather clothes, but her body was not exposed; instead, it was covered in a purple glow.

Whoosh!

Zi Wangyou launched another attack at Xu Mu. Unlike her previous breezy demeanor, she was now bordering on madness.

As Xu Mu met her attack, he felt the Demonic Protection on his body and noticed that the armor had already been melted into several holes.

Facing a high-realm Earth-tier technique, being able to hold on until now was already pretty good.

Xu Mu had no intention of testing it with his own flesh. He immediately executed Star Shift.

Hum!

In an instant, the flames on his body vanished.

Zi Wangyou, who was in the midst of fighting, was dumbfounded. Just who exactly was this man in front of her?

With his realm, it should be absolutely impossible for him to dispel the Nether Fire.

She watched as Xu Mu flew backward, arriving at Chen Xuan's side. Old Chen, get out of the way!

Crackle!

Chen Xuan transformed into a golden electric current and instantly retreated.

Liu Ge still had no idea what was happening when he suddenly saw purple flames appearing right above his head.

This... could it be!

Liu Ge's body was instantly engulfed by the flames. Ahhh!

He let out an agonizing howl.
