Xian Linnan revealed a brilliant smile. “Just a bunch of trash like you?”

The moment she finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of white light and charged at the middle-aged man.

“You dare call me trash? I’ll make you see my ferocity soon enough!”

The middle-aged man also burst forth with power.

Boom!

Their forces clashed violently. In the pitch-black mountain forest, a flash of white lightning appeared, briefly illuminating the surroundings before darkness fell again.

The entire mountain trembled under the force of the collision.

A pure clash of Qi boosts was simply a contest of who had the higher cultivation level.

Xian Linnan’s body was sent flying backward, but she quickly adjusted her stance midair, landing with both feet on a distant slope.

Boom!

The slope caved in violently, and she used the recoil to charge at her opponent once more.

In midair, she swung her arms repeatedly, sending two white javelins flying like arrows toward the middle-aged man.

Boom!

The man’s power erupted again, his white radiance making him shine like a lantern in the dark night.

Whoosh!

The air vibrated as he caught one of the javelins with a single hand.

A contemptuous smirk crossed his face. “You’re just a worthless peak early Transcendent realm piece of trash, and you think you can show off against me, a late Transcendent realm expert? Who gave you the nerve?”

As the second javelin approached, he raised his other hand to catch it.

But the moment his hand touched the javelin, the Qi in his palm was instantly dispersed, and his entire hand became a bloody pulp.

The javelin moved with incredible speed, reaching him in the blink of an eye. He dodged hastily, but it still grazed his cheek.

No blood flowed—the wound was completely cauterized, leaving a three-finger-wide gap on the side of his face.

“A Earth-rank technique! White Mountain Stab!”

The middle-aged man touched the gap on his face, his eyes blazing with fury. “You bitch! You actually used it alongside an Yellow-rank technique, the Sword Lance!”

Whoosh!

While the man was still shouting, Xian Linnan had already closed in, launching another attack.

Inside the cave, Xu Mu didn’t go out, but his perception saw everything clearly.

No wonder she was a top-tier ten-level destiny heroine—she had an incredible grasp of combat. She was simultaneously executing two techniques, one Yellow-rank and one Earth-rank.

And when she used them, her movements were completely identical, and the forms they took were nearly the same.

First, she let the weaker technique strike the opponent first, lowering their guard, then the stronger one followed close behind.

While the two fought, the remaining three members of the White Stone clan discovered the cave where Xu Mu was hiding.

One of the elders immediately flew over and saw the two people inside.

Li Chenshuang smiled and patted Xu Mu on the shoulder. “You stay put here. Leave the rest to big sister.”

Xu Mu nodded. The old man before them was a Breakthrough First Realm cultivator, no match for Li Chenshuang.

“Didn’t expect to find a beauty here. When you get older, you start craving some fat meat.”

The old man gazed at Li Chenshuang’s figure, utterly captivated. Smiling, he said, “Judging by your looks, you’re from the Jiuli clan, right?”

“That’s right. How dare a mere White Stone clan show disrespect to my Jiuli? In the old days, you would have knelt and bowed to me.”

Li Chenshuang’s noble, flawless face suddenly erupted with thick, magma-like flames.

Boom!

The viscous magma surged like water out of the cave.

The White Stone elder instantly unleashed his power and retreated.

Li Chenshuang walked step by step along the path of magma, magma constantly dripping off her as she moved.

Her noble features added even more presence to the scene.

Xu Mu lay back down again. No wonder she was the leader of the second tribe of the Jiuli clan—she carried herself differently.

He closed his eyes and used his perception to watch the battle outside. Those two women were more than enough to handle the four opponents, especially since Li Chenshuang still had two even stronger corpses at her disposal.

The ground kept shaking, and Xu Mu noticed chunks of dirt falling from the cave ceiling.

But through his perception, he saw that the battle outside was essentially over.

What surprised Xu Mu was the strength of these two women.

Li Chenshuang didn’t even use the corpses on her side. She crushed the old man with sheer power alone, severely injuring him after just two or three exchanges.

As for Xian Linnan, she had successfully fought above her level.

With her peak early Transcendent cultivation, she had killed the late Transcendent middle-aged man. Still, she was wounded.

But Xian Linnan didn’t stop. Still burning with rage, she turned her gaze to the remaining two.

They looked younger, with weaker cultivation, and before her, they were doomed to instant death.

Boom!

Just then, the ceiling above Xu Mu’s cave suddenly shattered. The old man from earlier burst in, grabbed Xu Mu by the shoulder, and flew out.

“Both of you, stop right there!”

The White Stone elder, clutching Xu Mu’s neck, yelled while coughing blood. “Make another move, and I’ll kill this man!”

Xian Linnan, who was about to strike, stopped when she saw Xu Mu captured.

Li Chenshuang, still radiating magma, smiled and asked, “Little brother, you need help, just say the word.”

“Are you really that carefree? I’m just a mere early Transcendent realm caught by a Breakthrough realm expert, and you can still laugh?”

Xu Mu said helplessly, “Listen, old-timer, grabbing me is useless. I’m just a lackey tagging along with them.”

“For now, you’re still useful. Those two did stop fighting, didn’t they?”

The White Stone elder sneered. “You two women, if you don’t want him dead, kneel down immediately!”

“Are you joking?”

Xian Linnan said flatly. “Xu Mu, don’t worry. After you die, I’ll avenge you.”

“Xu Mu? That name sounds…”

“It sounds familiar, right?”

Xu Mu stood at a distance, facing the elder with a smile.

“Indeed… wait, how did you—?”

The elder’s face twisted in shock as he looked down at the person in his arms. Somehow, without him noticing, it had become a junior from his own clan.

Xian Linnan’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t noticed the switch either.

Whoosh!

Li Chenshuang suddenly appeared above the two, swinging a fist.

Boom!

Viscous magma turned into a rolling wave, instantly engulfing the elder and the young man in his grasp.

The scattered shockwave carried thick flames that sprayed in all directions.

Where the flames hit trees and rocks, they didn’t ignite—they corroded.

Large trees collapsed one after another, and rocks were eaten away into gaping holes.

“Don’t kill me! I was wrong!”

Beneath the magma, the elder collapsed to the ground, begging.

The young man had died on the spot.

Severely wounded, the elder’s injuries smoked with black fumes, and the intense pain made his body tremble.

“Please! Spare me!”

“I’ll spare you—if you tell me who sent you here!”

Xian Linnan stepped in front of the elder and demanded.

Li Chenshuang walked over as well. She raised her hand, and the magma on the elder’s wounds slowly receded. “Speak.”

"It's the clan leader who sent me. He said there are rebels here, and ordered us to investigate. This is his secret decree."

As he spoke, the old man took out a white orb from his person, raised it toward the two women, and suddenly crushed it.

Boom!

The white smoke produced by the shattered orb engulfed all three of them.

Li Chenshuang and Xian Lingnan simultaneously erupted with power to defend themselves, then retreated.

Xu Mu furrowed his brow. That thing felt somewhat familiar. "Not good! Expel your qi immediately!"

"What?"

Li Chenshuang had already retracted the defensive qi back into her body.

Xian Lingnan did the same.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this, the old man threw his head back and laughed heartily.
