Instant Kill

Xu Mu raised his hand, originally intending to call out to Xianling Nan, but it was already too late.

As a tenth-rank Tianming woman, she was indeed formidable; she dispatched those guards without causing large-scale destruction, every strike a fatal blow.

Xu Mu glanced at Li Chenshuang beside him, and they entered together.

Once inside the tower building, Xu Mu's Soul-Devouring Sacred Gu acted like a cleaner, devouring all the corpses around. Eventually, they arrived before a stone stele inside.

Xianling Nan stood there, with eyes one black and one gold, smiling at Xu Mu. "The Commander of the Wu tribe, Wu Tu, is at the fourth-tier of realm-breaking. Are you ready?"

"Don't worry, we won't need to intervene. Just the two corpses by my side are enough to annihilate him."

Li Chenshuang walked forward with a smile. "But how should we split the treasures here?"

"You really are insatiably greedy. I've given you two such powerful corpses and a ninth-rank heavenly treasure—are you still not satisfied?"

Xu Mu said flatly.

"I was just making a passing comment. If you want them, I wouldn't dare take anything."

Li Chenshuang replied with a grin.

"Alright, next step is to meet this Wu Tu. Both of you follow my orders completely!"

Xu Mu said to the group.

...

At the same time.

Deep within the ruins, Wu Tu was taking a nap in a grove outside the palace.

He was a fat man weighing about two hundred twenty pounds, with a square face, lying on the grass.

Around him were several attending servants; some were giving massages, others were gently waving fans, and one knelt before him, occasionally feeding grapes into his mouth.

"It's a pity we don't have electricity here. You probably don't know what air conditioning is, do you? That thing can lower the temperature a lot without needing Qi or spirit stones."

As Wu Tu spoke, he grabbed the chest of the servant in front of him and chuckled.

"Commander, don't let the wives see."

The servant said shyly.

"What if they see? Do they really think a Commander can only marry nine? If the patriarch blames me, I'll just say you don't have a formal title, but within our circle, your status is the same as theirs."

Wu Tu didn't let his hand go. "Besides, I'm sworn brothers with the new patriarch. He won't interfere with me."

"Commander!"

Just then, a man in armor ran over quickly from a distance.

Wu Tu lowered his hand and said flatly, "What is it? Acting so rashly—where are your manners?"

"Commander, this is serious. A man named Xu Mu is requesting an audience. He has kidnapped the Holy Maiden—no, I mean, Xianling Nan."

This man reported frantically.

"What? Xianling Nan?"

Wu Tu jumped to his feet, and the force of his movement sent the nearby servants flying.

He frowned deeply. "Xu Mu? Why does that name sound so familiar? Forget it—bring them here!"

"Yes!"

The man withdrew.

Wu Tu got up from the grass and walked over to a stone chair nearby, sitting down to wait quietly.

Before long, a group appeared in the distance.

Besides Xu Mu and the others, there were also some experts from the Baishi tribe.

Wu Tu immediately spotted Xianling Nan, whose hands were bound behind her back. He burst into laughter.

He hadn't expected to land such an important catch. If he sent Xianling Nan to Lao Jiexiang, that would surely earn him a massive merit.

Then he turned his gaze to Xu Mu. Upon seeing this person's appearance, he realized it was the genius of the Yan-Huang descendants.

Every year, they watched the martial arts ranking videos from the inner world, and this Xu Mu left a deep impression on him.

Wu Tu couldn't help stroking his chin. His luck was incredible—netting two major figures at once.

If he killed Xu Mu, the treasures he'd obtain would certainly surpass those from Xianling Nan.

Xianling Nan was just a patriarch's reward, but Xu Mu was different; the bounty on his head was paid jointly by many races.

"Are you the leader here?"

Xu Mu asked, looking at Wu Tu before him.

"How dare you! Kneel before the Commander!"

A middle-aged man beside Xu Mu barked coldly.

But Wu Tu waved a hand slightly. "No need. I want to know—what's your situation?"

"Simple. My friends and I were training here, and this woman tried to kill me. Later, I learned this Holy Maiden could be exchanged for quite a few treasures, so I found the nearest stronghold, and that happened to be yours."

Xu Mu said to Wu Tu. "I'll hand this woman over to you, and you give me two ninth-rank heavenly treasures."

"Hahaha!"

Wu Tu threw his head back and laughed. He pressed his hands on the arms of the chair as he stood up. "Xu Mu, right? Two is too few—she's worth at least six or seven, and they'd be the top-tier ninth-rank ones."

"I didn't expect the Holy Maiden to be so valuable. Then give me six, and keep one for yourself."

Xu Mu said flatly.

"You've misunderstood me. What I meant is that you and Xianling Nan combined are worth that much."

Wu Tu waved his hand with a grin. "What are you waiting for? Seize them all!"

Boom!

People around them burst out with their powers and rushed towards Xu Mu and the others.

Xu Mu showed a smile. "Now I can attack without any hesitation!"

Xianling Nan easily tore the rope apart. She also unleashed her power. "Then let's start and finish this quickly!"

Seeing this, Wu Tu was stunned at first, and then grinned. "So it was a pre - planned move. But what can you ants achieve?"

Boom!

Wu Tu's power reached its limit. The trees behind him were blown away by the emitted power.

Water vapor appeared around his body.

Whoosh!

He rushed towards Xu Mu at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

Boom!

A large area of white light enveloped Xu Mu.

"Be careful!"

Li Chenshuang immediately controlled two corpses and made them move.

However, all the white light suddenly disappeared after touching Xu Mu.

The next moment, a large area of white light suddenly appeared above the head of a first - order Boundary Breaker who was fighting with Xianling Nan.

Rumble!

In an instant, the white light fell on this first - order Boundary Breaker, beating him to a bloody pulp on the spot.

Seeing this, Li Chenshuang showed a faint smile. This Xu Mu was really a tough guy!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two corpses started to move, attacking Wu Tu from the left and the right.

"Just a bunch of clowns!"

Wu Tu sneered. Just as he was about to make a move, the grass under his feet suddenly turned white, and an extremely powerful pressure instantly hit him.

Boom!

Xianling Cui punched Wu Tu in the face. The terrifying power erupted in an instant, knocking Wu Tu flying.

Xianling Bu was already ready in the air. He held a white spear and stabbed it forcefully.

Rumble!

A circle of ripples erupted in the sky, shattering all the surrounding buildings.

The spear also penetrated Wu Tu's body. Wu Tu's face turned pale. He flew towards Xianling Nan regardless of everything.

Hum!

Suddenly, Wu Tu found himself back in front of Xianling Cui again, and Xu Mu's figure was in the air.

Obviously, the two had swapped positions.

"Damn it!"

Wu Tu saw Xianling Cui's heavy punch. Before he could defend himself, he was hit again.

There was a thunderous sound in the air, and his chin was shattered.

Swish!

Xianling Nan flashed behind Wu Tu and forcefully stabbed the white spear into his ear.

"You all deserve to die..."

Wu Tu let out a roar and finally fell to the ground unwillingly.

Wu Cancan, who was coming from a distance to check, was so scared that she hid behind a building. Seeing her father's tragic death, tears welled up in her eyes.

She couldn't believe who these people were. They had killed her fourth - order father in such a short time.

Li Chenshuang was also extremely shocked. She had never thought that a fourth - order expert could be instantly killed by the joint efforts of these people.

Especially Xu Mu. Every time he made a move, it was extremely crucial. If it weren't for him, Wu Tu would definitely have escaped.

This man was really terrifying.
