Desperate Fang Chu

Gu Yongming felt his brain short-circuiting. Damn it! Is this guy even human?

If they were at the same cultivation realm, he could barely understand something like this happening.

But he had the advantage of realm suppression!

A full major realm of difference! Yet his attack had only scraped off a layer of skin, revealing just a bit of red underneath.

Not even a drop of blood was shed. Was this a sick joke?

Xu Mu was also marveling inwardly. As expected of the Transcendent Realm, it was truly powerful. Truth be told, this was the first time his skin had been broken in a fight.

Not only that, but the high-intensity combat just now, combined with the continuous use of three Heaven-tier cultivation techniques, had drastically depleted the Qi in his body.

He opened his storage space, took out a Qi-Replenishing Pill he had refined earlier, and popped it into his mouth.

This thing came in handy right about now.

"I don't believe I can't kill you!"

Gu Yongming charged at Xu Mu once again.

The two sides began a new round of battle. This time, Xu Mu deliberately kept the fight close to Fang Chu. Whenever a technique came his way, he immediately deflected it onto him.

[Destiny Points -30]

[Destiny Points -50]

[Destiny Points -100]

...

Fang Chu was utterly dumbfounded. Facing the onslaught of attacks diverted onto his body, he managed a few miserable shrieks at first, but eventually, he couldn't even make a sound.

He had always believed his luck was exceptionally good, even fancying himself a true Child of Destiny.

Since childhood, he had displayed formidable talent, hailed as a genius within his family. Even the elders treated him with great respect.

When his family was annihilated, he was the sole survivor who managed to escape.

After recuperating, he resolved to seek revenge and fortuitously inherited a Heaven-tier cultivation technique.

Later, due to his impatience, he suffered from Qi deviation, only to be coincidentally saved by the patriarch of the Guo family.

The Guo family patriarch practically gifted him a wife. Although he had to endure his mother-in-law's eye-rolls during his years as a live-in son-in-law, he at least never had to worry about food and shelter.

During his three years of biding his time, he met several women and felt he had cultivated a pretty good relationship with all of them.

Let alone recovering his cultivation base, even if he didn't, given enough time, he could have gathered them all into his harem and made them his.

But as fate would have it, Xu Mu appeared.

He ruined his plans at every turn. He felt that Xu Mu was his absolute bane.

As long as Xu Mu was around, his luck had never been good.

"Fuck! Fuck!"

Fang Chu let out a shrill scream, erupting with all the Qi in his body.

He slammed both hands hard onto the ground. "Kill him for me!"

The surrounding dirt and dust trembled violently. Xu Mu immediately closed his eyes, relying on his perception to react.

However, he found that this time, it wasn't just his ears and eyes; countless grains of dust drilled into his nasal cavity, blocking his windpipe.

In that brief moment of distraction, Gu Yongming had already arrived in front of him, thrusting his five fingers toward Xu Mu's chest. "Let's see you dodge this! Frigid Blood Sword!"

Swish!

Gu Yongming's five fingers burst open, his blood transforming into five sharp spikes that instantly pierced into Xu Mu's body.

Boom!

Xu Mu reacted, kicking Gu Yongming square in the face and sending him flying.

Xu Mu looked down at his chest. Five finger-thick bloody holes were slowly dripping blood.

Seeing this, Gu Yongming shuddered. Why was Xu Mu's physique so incredibly tough?

A Heaven-tier technique, the Frigid Blood Sword.

It was Gu Yongming's ultimate trump card, using blood as a sword to pierce through anything.

Yet it had merely pierced into Xu Mu's body; it hadn't even come out the other side.

Xu Mu immediately opened his storage space, took out a healing pill, and swallowed it.

It seemed that keeping Fang Chu alive had its pros and cons. His Heaven-tier technique was too powerful and had disrupted him several times already.

But if he killed him, he wouldn't be able to divert Gu Yongming's attacks anymore.

Just as Xu Mu was weighing the pros and cons, a string of black text appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for getting injured]

Seeing this sentence, dark lines formed on Xu Mu's forehead.

Motherfucker, I'm the one who got hurt, what the hell are you congratulating me for?

[Please unlock a new ability, host]

Seeing this line of black text, Xu Mu immediately checked the system, and a rush of memories followed.

After reviewing them, Xu Mu nodded inwardly. So that was it. He hadn't expected that the Destiny Points he acquired could also turn bad luck into good fortune, just like a protagonist.

However, his usage was different from a protagonist's.

A protagonist's Destiny Points worked to avoid danger beforehand, whereas Xu Mu's healed his body.

He decided to give it a try.

[Destiny Points -50]

Of course, this didn't appear above Fang Chu's head, but was his own Destiny Points being deducted.

Looking down at his body, the injuries had completely healed, returning to their original state.

If it weren't for the bloodstains left behind, Xu Mu would have thought he was never injured in the first place.

"I see. Calculating it this way, I basically have the ability to continuously bounce back."

Xu Mu muttered softly.

From now on, no matter how strong the opponent he faced, unless his Destiny Points were completely depleted, Xu Mu would not die.

"Senior! What are you standing there for? Xu Mu is injured! Press the advantage!"

Fang Chu yelled from the sidelines.

Only then did Gu Yongming snap out of his daze, launching another assault on Xu Mu.

Right at that moment, array runes and characters suddenly appeared high in the sky.

The next instant, the glowing lines connecting these characters abruptly shattered, and a black portal opened in the sky above.

Two figures descended from the black hole.

It was none other than Meng Wanyue and Fu Jinyu.

"Brother Mu! You're hurt?"

Seeing the holes in Xu Mu's clothes and the bloodstains, Meng Wanyue immediately ran over.

"It's fine. My hair isn't messed up, which means the injury isn't serious."

Xu Mu chuckled and patted his chest, then looked at Fu Jinyu. "You're finally here. If you had taken any longer, I'd be a goner."

Fu Jinyu pushed up her sunglasses, surveying the rocky ground around them. It was completely devastated, littered with sword marks and deep fissures.

As for the surrounding buildings, they had collapsed beyond recognition.

She then swept her gaze over everyone present, finally resting her eyes on Xu Mu.

This kid... is unfathomable!

His opponent was a Transcendent Realm expert. From the sheer destruction around them, it was obvious they had been fighting for quite some time.

Yet Xu Mu, a mere Grandmaster Realm cultivator, was still alive and kicking.

Swish!

Gu Yongming lunged at Xu Mu once again, determined to at least complete his mission this time.

"Ant! This kid is under my protection. Other than me, no one touches him!"

Fu Jinyu's figure flickered, instantly blocking Gu Yongming's path.

"Then I'll kill you first!"

Gu Yongming viciously slashed down with the ice sword in his hand.

Fu Jinyu looked up and caught the ice sword barehanded.

Boom!

With a deafening boom, the ground beneath the two abruptly caved in, causing Fu Jinyu's long hair to whip wildly in the air.

Gu Yongming's eyes widened in disbelief. Just as he was preparing a follow-up attack, black feathers materialized around Fu Jinyu's body.

Whoosh, whoosh...

The feathers transformed into streaks of black light, instantly piercing through Gu Yongming's frozen body.

Bam!

Fu Jinyu executed a high roundhouse kick, landing a devastating blow on Gu Yongming's neck.

His body was abruptly sent flying, crashing into a pyramid-like structure in the distance.

Fu Jinyu pushed up her sunglasses and calmly walked toward Gu Yongming.

Even though Meng Wanyue had just witnessed Fu Jinyu's move, she was still utterly shocked.

As for Fang Chu, he was already in complete despair.

Watching Xu Mu walk toward him, he continuously backed away.

"Xu Mu, spare me! I was wrong. I'll never cause trouble for you again. How about we cooperate? We can deal with Ye Chen together."

Fang Chu's eyes were filled with horror. He never expected the woman Xu Mu brought along to be even stronger than Gu Yongming.
