Boom!
Golden light transformed into countless scattered rays, completely filling the cage.
But just then, Li Poshan realized that he had swapped positions with Xu Mu.
The endless golden light was now surging toward his body.
"Release!"
At this moment, Fu Jinyu, who was also inside the cage, entered combat mode.
She appeared in front of Wu Tian, the six blades on her back slicing toward him.
Bang!
Dazzling golden light erupted from Wu Tian's body again, blocking Fu Jinyu's blades.
"Kill! Kill them all! Kill every last one of them!"
Wu Tian was already flying into a humiliating rage, completely blinded by anger.
He no longer cared about so-called beauties like Fu Jinyu. Now, anyone who dared to stop him from killing Xu Mu—every single one of them—had to die.
Buzz!
The Qi on Xu Mu's body instantly expanded, but in a flash, the terrifying power he released retracted and vanished.
With his hands behind his back, a compressed small ball of flame appeared in his palm.
Just now, he had unleashed a god-tier technique: The Final Spark.
Consuming a full fifth of his Qi, he refused to believe he couldn't kill Wu Tian.
Rumble!
Controlling Wu Tian's body, Li Poshan knocked Fu Jinyu back with a single strike, then charged toward Xu Mu.
But right at that moment, Li Poshan once again swapped positions with Xu Mu.
He immediately looked around, searching for Xu Mu, only to see a marble-sized ball of flame falling to the ground.
"Oh no!"
Wu Tian and Li Poshan cried out almost simultaneously.
It should be known that during the previous Martial Arts Summit, both of them had been present and naturally knew the power of this move.
Li Poshan immediately exerted all his strength, defending while retreating.
But even so, the firelight burst forth, completely enveloping his entire body.
This wasn't Kunlun Mountain, so there were no defensive formations. The scorching blood-red flames transformed into a massive pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky.
The snow within a kilometer radius was completely evaporated by this attack.
The radiating power forced Tong Guoguo and Yue Wangshu, who were far away, to use their Qi to defend themselves.
Thud!
Wu Tian's figure flew out of the flames. His entire body was covered in burn marks.
Especially his already injured neck, where the wound was now charred black.
Mandate of Heaven Power -30
Li Poshan glanced back at Xu Mu, controlled Wu Tian's body, and immediately shot into the sky. The lingering golden light slowly dissipated.
Xu Mu instinctively chased after him but couldn't catch up at all.
However, he hadn't given up; this was a great opportunity.
He continued to cast The Final Spark, multiplying the Qi he could release. After all, he could rely on the Mandate of Heaven Power to recover.
The Mandate of Heaven Power gained from eliminating a male protagonist would be far greater than what he consumed.
Whoosh!
His body continued to release energy. The blood-red flames were about to catch up to Wu Tian, but they reached the entrance of the ruins.
Wu Tian took out a formation sword, sliced open the high-altitude barrier with a single strike, and left the ruins.
Seeing this, Xu Mu didn't pursue any further.
The opponent had already left the ruins, and outside was a village town. Fighting out there would cause too much collateral damage.
He let out a breath and watched the high-altitude exit slowly disappear. At least he knew how to leave this place now.
Returning to his previous position, Xu Mu found Fu Jinyu, Tong Guoguo, and Yue Wangshu huddled together, their bodies wrapped in a single cotton quilt.
"Xu Mu! Is it resolved?"
Tong Guoguo asked curiously upon seeing Xu Mu return.
"No, he got away."
Xu Mu shook his head slightly, his expression somewhat helpless.
"You really show no mercy! I was right nearby, yet you dared to use that kind of move. I fought him without taking much damage, only to end up blasted by you."
Fu Jinyu said to Xu Mu indifferently.
"It was exactly because you were there that I didn't dare use my full strength."
Xu Mu waved his hand. If it had been just him and Wu Tian around...
The Qi he gathered just now wouldn't have been just a fifth; he definitely would have used a hundred percent.
However, it was too late to say anything now. The guy had already run away.
"Xu Mu, what is going on with that Wu Tian? He's clearly only at the Grandmaster level, so why could he erupt with a realm no less than mine?"
Yue Wangshu looked at Xu Mu and said, "Of course, the power you just erupted with was even stronger."
"He has the soul of a powerful expert residing in him, which can help him at crucial moments."
Xu Mu put his hands in his pockets and looked indifferently at the bundled-up Yue Wangshu. "However, you really treated yourself as an outsider, didn't you?"
"What did I do?"
Yue Wangshu was confused.
"Wu Tian tried to kill me at every turn. I finally managed to heavily injure him this time, yet you didn't help me deal with him."
Xu Mu paused and glanced at Tong Guoguo. "Guoguo has an excuse. Her realm is lower than Sister Empress, so she's no match for him. But you just stood there watching."
"I didn't know you two had such a huge grudge. Wouldn't it have been too much for me to take it upon myself to help you kill him?"
Yue Wangshu was somewhat surprised.
She hadn't known before that Wu Tian and Xu Mu had such deep hatred.
"As expected of someone from the Hua Snake Tribe. I think you let him go on purpose. How ungrateful! Xu Mu just saved your life."
Hearing this, Fu Jinyu kicked the quilt away.
Stepping out from inside, she no longer wanted to share warmth with this woman.
Back in the Inner Realm, she remembered clearly that it was Wu Tian who took the initiative to try and kill Xu Mu.
"I didn't! I really didn't know their grudge was that deep."
Yue Wangshu retorted.
In truth, she had only told half the story. First, as she said, she truly didn't know the two sides had reached a point where one had to die.
Secondly, regarding what just happened, she knew Wu Tian saving her was secondary; his real goal was likely lusting after her body.
But regardless, he had still intended to save her life.
Yue Wangshu hated him, but not enough to want him dead.
It made her feel a bit uneasy to blindly attack him.
"Xu Mu, don't dwell on this anymore. Although Yue Wangshu is strong, she dislikes killing."
Tong Guoguo also emerged from the quilt.
Regarding the three ancestors of the Myriad Races Valley, Tong Guoguo had previously obtained information about them from Wang Hun.
This Yue Wangshu was indeed somewhat indecisive. That was just her personality; she definitely couldn't be like Fu Jinyu.
"I'm not dwelling on it. It's just that there was a clear chance to finish him off, and in the end, he got away. It feels like a pity."
Xu Mu shook his head slightly and walked over to where Wu Tian had just been.
He squatted on the ground and studied it carefully, sure enough, finding a formation there.
It seemed that either Wu Tian or the old man inside him knew about formations.
Yue Wangshu put away the quilt, her face looking a bit unpleasant. She understood how Xu Mu felt.
He had finally managed to heavily injure Wu Tian. If she had intervened, they most likely would have taken him down, yet she had remained indifferent.
"Xu Mu, I'm sorry. If there's a next time, I will definitely help you finish him off."
Yue Wangshu took the initiative to approach Xu Mu, her face full of apology.
Compared to Wu Tian, Xu Mu had genuinely saved her life.
"It's open!"
Xu Mu ignored Yue Wangshu, having found the weak point of the formation.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
