Xu Mu had one hand in his pocket and held a black longsword in the other, completely unscathed.
Bang, bang, bang...
The next moment, dense frost and ice shards suddenly began to emerge around Gu Yongming's body.
Clearly, he had blocked this attack.
However, upon dispelling the ice, he stared at Xu Mu in disbelief. Why hadn't his Earth-tier cultivation technique caused any damage to him at all?
Ah!
Right then, Fang Chu's agonized scream echoed over.
Gu Yongming immediately turned around and saw that Fang Chu was currently surrounded by an earthen shield, but the surrounding ice spikes had pierced right through it.
The shield shattered, leaving Fang Chu's body riddled with numerous bloody holes, blood dripping continuously.
[Destiny Power -100]
Xu Mu!
Fang Chu let out a low growl and clenched his fists tightly, causing dust to swirl around him.
Countless grains of sand flew toward the wounds all over his body, temporarily sealing them to prevent his blood from flowing out uncontrollably.
Gu Yongming first looked at Xu Mu, then turned back to stare at Fang Chu. Impossible! Does the Demon Guardian have this kind of ability?
Who knows?
Xu Mu shrugged. He glanced at Fang Chu; now was the best time to kill him.
But he didn't make a move. At least for now, Fang Chu couldn't die.
His Star Shift technique could only transfer damage to a third party. If Fang Chu died, there would be no third party left.
If he suffered another attack from Gu Yongming, he would have to endure it himself.
You are truly bizarre! You really cannot be allowed to live!
An ice longsword appeared in Gu Yongming's hand once again. This time, he prepared for close-quarters combat.
Whoosh!
Gu Yongming arrived by Xu Mu's side, his longsword slashing down continuously.
Xu Mu used his own longsword to parry. In just a few seconds, the two swords had clashed dozens of times.
Gu Yongming was already trembling with shock. As a dignified Transcendent Realm expert, not only was his rapid assault unable to land a hit on Xu Mu...
...but he was actually being suppressed by Xu Mu's swordsmanship.
Just who exactly was this man before him?
While fighting, Xu Mu suddenly closed his eyes purely out of instinct.
Senior, hurry!
In the distance, Fang Chu, who was lying on the ground, raised a finger.
This time, it wasn't just the ears; he also controlled the surrounding dust to attack Xu Mu's eyes.
Gu Yongming stomped his foot on the ground.
Crack!
A layer of ice suddenly appeared on the ground, freezing Xu Mu's legs in place.
You can't move anymore!
Gu Yongming's figure suddenly flickered, appearing behind Xu Mu. Just as he was about to thrust his longsword out...
...he realized that Xu Mu's figure had vanished before his eyes.
Gu Yongming initially thought it was a stealth technique and didn't stop his attack.
But when he slashed his sword across, he found that he hit nothing but air.
Looking over at Fang Chu, he saw that Fang Chu's legs were the ones frozen instead.
Suddenly, Gu Yongming immediately bent down as a flash of light appeared right above his head.
Swish, swish, swish...
A sheet of ice formed around Gu Yongming's body, and then countless spikes shot out in all directions.
Clearly, he intended to restrict Xu Mu from getting close.
However, Xu Mu had already executed his Cloud Step and retreated out of range.
He suddenly recalled Xie Wangwei, whom he had encountered earlier. Although both were in the Transcendent Realm, the oppressive pressure Xie Wangwei gave him was unimaginably stronger than this Gu Yongming.
Previously, when Xu Mu faced Xie Wangwei, even though they only exchanged a few moves, he knew very well that he absolutely couldn't win.
Yet, facing this Gu Yongming, a thought even sprouted in Xu Mu's mind.
With a bit of luck, he could heavily injure him, or perhaps even kill him.
Interesting. I'm truly embarrassing myself. To deal with a mere Grandmaster Realm, I actually need to use my full strength. Perhaps, I really am getting old.
Gu Yongming took a deep breath.
Seeing this, Xu Mu's expression instantly grew solemn. This man was about to get serious.
Cold Clad!
Gu Yongming's body was suddenly frozen. Around his body, an extra layer of blue ice clothing appeared.
His hands were completely frozen at this moment, extending outward into ice swords nearly one and a half meters long.
Gu Yongming's body was still emitting a freezing aura.
With every step he took, frost appeared on the ground beneath his feet.
Seeing this, Fang Chu, who was lying on the ground, had a look of wild ecstasy in his eyes. You are ranked third on the Death Roll, Cold-Clad Twin Swords! One Madman, Two Cripples, Three Killers, Four Wealthy Families... You are one of the Three Killers! Gu Yongming!
Xu Mu stared at Gu Yongming in front of him. His face seemed to be frozen stiff at this moment, covered with many tiny ice crystals.
Swish!
In an instant, Gu Yongming's body appeared right in front of Xu Mu.
Xu Mu's eyes widened. He immediately activated his Concealment Barrier and vanished from Gu Yongming's sight.
Gu Yongming forcefully thrust his twin swords into the ground.
Rumble!
The earth within a radius of more than ten meters shattered instantly, and countless pieces of rubble splattered in all directions.
Gu Yongming observed his surroundings, then his figure suddenly lunged forward, slashing out with a sword.
Xu Mu immediately parried it.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Xu Mu's body was suddenly sent flying, crashing into the pyramid-like structure in the distance.
Before Xu Mu could react, Gu Yongming had already leaped over, thrusting his twin swords toward Xu Mu's body.
Xu Mu executed the Heaven-Burning Sword Art once again, and Heaven-Burning Qi appeared on his black longsword.
Bang!
His longsword clashed with Gu Yongming's twin ice swords.
Xu Mu's body was pushed deeper into the cracks of the stone. He immediately activated the Demon Guardian, erupting with his own power.
Boom!
The surrounding stones all shattered. His longsword, coated with Heaven-Burning Qi, sliced through one of Gu Yongming's ice longswords.
However, the severed ice sword instantly regenerated.
Clang, clang, clang...
The attacks of both sides continuously clashed. As Gu Yongming swung his twin swords, large swaths of afterimages appeared.
He basically ignored Xu Mu's Demon Guardian, and the reflected damage only caused ice shards to appear on his body.
Boom!
Xu Mu's body jolted violently, and he was sent flying backward once again.
He executed the Cloud Step, stepping on thin air to land steadily on the ground.
Buzz!
Red threads began to appear on his body, fluttering in the wind and making him look like a puppet.
Many traces of fine threads also appeared on his armor.
Spirit Vein Armament.
Whoosh!
Gu Yongming didn't stop at all, attacking again in the blink of an eye.
Xu Mu swung his sword forcefully, and a blast of sword aura suddenly shot out.
Gu Yongming also swung out a sword aura, but the sword aura he unleashed was instantly sliced apart, and Xu Mu's sword aura appeared right in front of him in the blink of an eye.
He quickly used his twin swords to block it, but after only resisting for a second, his twin swords were also sliced through.
His expression changed, and he quickly ducked, allowing the sword aura to fly right over his head.
By this time, Xu Mu had already arrived in front of Gu Yongming.
Clang, clang, clang...
The two sides clashed once again.
Gu Yongming's heart had begun to tremble. What on earth was going on with this guy?
After fighting for so long, his strength had actually increased.
Damn it!
Gu Yongming roared in anger, elevating his power to the absolute limit, with every strike causing the air to detonate.
Xu Mu gradually began to struggle. His body was sent flying once more, crashing into the stone structure in the distance.
Swish, swish, swish...
Before Xu Mu had time to dodge, several ice spikes had already flown toward him.
Not good!
He was very far from Fang Chu at this moment, completely out of time to transfer the damage.
Even though he used his longsword to strike down a few, one still pierced through his defense and hit his body.
Xu Mu looked down, his eyes filled with shock. Good heavens, it actually broke my skin?
In the distance, Gu Yongming was utterly dumbfounded. What the hell was this situation?

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints.

And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
