In the blink of an eye, Wang Liu appeared right in front of Xu Mu. Just as he was about to attack, Xu Mu's figure vanished from his sight once again.
"This trick again! I've already figured out a way to counter it!"
Wang Liu sneered. Crossing his fingers, the Qi on his body suddenly erupted, expanding outward for a full twenty meters.
Buzz...
Suddenly, the Qi he had released into the surroundings transformed into a cluster of water droplets, floating in all directions.
With a single glance, Wang Liu spotted a human silhouette formed within these water droplets.
No matter how well he turned invisible, his physical body still existed.
Swish!
Wang Liu turned into a streak of light and charged at Xu Mu.
Boom!
The Qi of both sides collided abruptly, and the ground beneath their feet instantly caved in.
After holding on for a few seconds, Xu Mu's body flew backward uncontrollably.
In terms of pure Qi, he was indeed far inferior.
Leaving the range of his stealth technique, his figure finally revealed itself.
"Kid, let me tell you, there is absolutely no way you are escaping today!"
Wang Liu pointed at Xu Mu and declared.
"Is that so? Do you really dare to fight me here?"
Xu Mu smiled, then turned around and dashed toward the building behind him.
"Brat!"
Wang Liu roared in anger, pushing his power to the absolute limit.
His speed was so fast that the air popped and crackled. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xu Mu again.
At the same time, a long saber appeared in his hand.
Seeing this, Xu Mu took a step back and drew out his black longsword.
Clang!
The weapons clashed, and Xu Mu was once again sent flying by Wang Liu's immense strength.
In the distance, Zi Wangyou saw the black longsword and became even more certain that this person was Xu Mu.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to have a spatial ring too. Don't worry, after you die, I'll wear it on my own finger!"
Seeing Xu Mu produce a longsword out of thin air, Wang Liu knew exactly what was going on without even having to think about it.
Xu Mu had no intention of fighting him. His goal this time was very clear: to obtain the natural treasures.
Swish!
Wang Liu attacked again. The terrifying power he exuded shattered the surrounding tempered glass.
The floor and ceiling of the building simply could not withstand the power of the Transcendent Realm, all collapsing in its wake.
There were many researchers inside. They might have achieved great things in the medical field, but very few of them knew anything about cultivation.
Faced with the collapsing roof, they had no way to survive.
Yet Wang Liu didn't hold back in the slightest. The lives of these people didn't matter; as long as Mr. Soul was still around, he could always train and guide a new batch.
As long as he protected the natural treasures here, that was enough.
Of course, the most important thing was to catch this intruder.
Even if the ruins were lost, as long as he saved Mr. Soul's woman and captured the organization member hiding in the Immortality Research Institute, Mr. Soul definitely wouldn't blame him.
Suddenly, Wang Liu, who was in the middle of hunting down Xu Mu, stopped in his tracks, because Xu Mu had disappeared from his sight once again.
At this moment, wails of agony echoed all around. Many researchers who hadn't been crushed were fleeing outside.
Wang Liu's eyes carefully scanned these people, but he couldn't find the Xu Mu from just moments ago.
Xu Mu had already changed his appearance and followed the crowd out. Now, an ID badge hung from his chest.
Just now, while casting his stealth technique, he had snatched several badges. If he was discovered, he would simply change his identity again.
Xu Mu had already left the building, while Wang Liu was still searching inside.
He looked at Yuli and Zi Wangyou not far away. If he wanted to get out, he could grab them again, but there were more important things to do right now.
Yuli looked at the panicked researchers and said quickly, Everyone, follow me!
As a researcher herself, the last thing she wanted was to see any casualties among them.
Xu Mu followed them as they all headed toward the depths of the ruins to take shelter.
Zi Wangyou also stayed close to Yuli. She had already figured it out; saving Xu Mu right now was meaningless.
It wouldn't be too late to save him later, when he was caught and facing a true life-and-death crisis.
Wait here. I'm going to gather everyone from the other buildings so we can all take shelter inside the array in the depths.
Yuli said to Xu Mu and the others wearing white coats. Then she patted Zi Wangyou on the shoulder, Wangyou, come with me.
Okay.
Zi Wangyou nodded.
Xu Mu spread out his perception. Seeing the two of them leave his perception range, he revealed a smile.
He took out a dagger and pointed it at a Rank-Five researcher next to him. Speak. Where are all the precious natural treasures kept here?
The others around them widened their eyes upon seeing this. Was there another intruder?
A Rank-Two young man pointed at Xu Mu and said, You're not Zhang Dawei!
Obviously, he had looked at Xu Mu's name tag and realized it didn't match his face.
That's right, which is why I'm asking you where the things are. I'll only count to three, and then I'll start killing.
Xu Mu didn't give them any time to react and directly started, One! Two...
Don't kill me! The treasures are inside the array in the depths of the ruins, but the most precious items are in the Ruins Chief's spatial ring.
The Rank-Five old man said in a panic.
Xu Mu thought about it carefully, and it made sense. Nothing was safer than being hidden on the strongest person.
However, even a mosquito's leg is still meat. Xu Mu planned to collect the natural treasures in the depths first.
His figure moved like a ghost, passing by these people.
Swish, swish, swish...
Everyone here fell to the ground, blood gushing from their legs.
Xu Mu's purpose in doing this was to prevent them from running back to report, which would give him more time.
Of course, killing them all would naturally be a better choice.
But for the current Xu Mu, killing so many people at once was something he still felt a bit resistant to.
One's state of mind always had to be tempered little by little.
Let's go!
Xu Mu grabbed the Rank-Five old man and rushed toward the depths of the ruins.
It wasn't long before he crossed the hill on this side and saw the deepest part of the ruins.
In the distance was a tall, cylindrical building with a top shaped like a giant umbrella.
The things are in there.
The old man said, pointing at the distant building.
Xu Mu nodded and quickly sprinted over.
On the outskirts of the building was a group of guards, led by a short but very muscular middle-aged man.
He possessed the strength of a peak mid-stage Grandmaster.
The other party saw from afar that the two were sprinting toward them.
The short middle-aged man immediately came forward and shouted into the distance, Who are you? Stop right there! Believe it or not, I'll chop your legs off!
Not only did Xu Mu not stop, but he actually began to accelerate.
When he was only a dozen meters away from the middle-aged man, his figure suddenly disappeared.
The old man in Xu Mu's grasp lost his balance and crumpled to the ground.
The middle-aged man glanced around. Before he could even react, a black longsword pierced through the back of his neck and erupted from his throat.
At that moment, Xu Mu's figure materialized. When dealing with someone like this, he would feel embarrassed if he couldn't finish them off in an instant.
The surrounding guards were scared out of their wits when they saw this. A peak expert at the mid-Grandmaster stage had actually been instantly killed by this guy?
You've got to be kidding!
