Chapter 170: Mu Yangzhe Panicked
“Li Mozi, have you gone mad? Do you really want to see the Blazing Immortal Saber Sect fall because of you?” Zou Zheng exclaimed in shock.
He was not afraid of Li Mozi; rather, he was worried that Lan Xiaobu would strike when Li Mozi made his move.
If he hadn’t taken Lan Xiaobu seriously before, now he regarded him as a demon.
In the world of his magic tools, the recorded crystal ball had captured every detail, and he hadn't sensed anything.
Such cunning and tactics were truly frightening.
Boom! As he tried to stop Li Mozi, Zou Zheng summoned his Wanxiang Bell.
The bell transformed into an array of stars that collided with Li Mozi's saber light.
The starry brilliance shattered beautifully, and the space around them trembled with each impact.
Yuyi clearly understood Zou Zheng’s predicament and rushed out, while Mu Yangzhe’s expression darkened as he also summoned his magic tool.
If Li Mozi dared to strike, he would absolutely take action to eliminate him.
After Lan Xiaobu, this insignificant ant, caused a commotion, everyone now dared to provoke his Nine Provinces Mountain.
What Mu Yangzhe didn’t expect was that Yan Zetao, the deputy sect leader of Tianyuan Sword Sect, also summoned his Purple Rainbow Sword and charged at Zou Zheng, forcing Yuyi to intercept Yan Zetao.
Mu Yangzhe's face changed.
They had only seven Immortal Realm fighters, and now two were on Lan Xiaobu’s side, planning to deal with his Nine Provinces Mountain.
Xue Nie was heavily injured and out of the fight, and the members of Western Kunlun Sect would never intervene.
This meant that the strength of Nine Provinces Mountain seemed to be on par with Lan Xiaobu’s.
“Yan Zetao, what do you mean? Do you think my Nine Provinces Mountain is easy to bully?” Mu Yangzhe realized he had to act.
If Western Kunlun Sect sided with Lan Xiaobu, then Nine Provinces Mountain would truly be in danger.
It wasn't impossible for Western Kunlun Sect to ally with Lan Xiaobu; they had heard that Liu Li from their sect was entangled with Lan Xiaobu.
Though Western Kunlun claimed Liu Li had left the sect, that was just their side of the story.
“Haha...” Yan Zetao laughed heartily, but his face radiated with murderous intent.
"Mu Yangzhe, am I blind? Just now, in the footage provided by Lord Lan, my disciple Yan Xinjian was indeed following Zuo Subo. Although it was fleeting, I am confident I saw it clearly. My disciple Yan Xinjian disappeared afterwards; clearly, he saw Zuo Subo getting killed and was silenced by that old pervert Zou Zheng."
Lan Xiaobu would never let such an opportunity slip by.
He hurled his Void Profound Spear towards Mu Yangzhe, saying, “Old man, save your breath until after I teach you a lesson!”
Lan Xiaobu would not allow Mu Yangzhe to disrupt Li Mozi and Yan Zetao as they dealt with Nine Provinces Mountain.
Seeing Mu Yangzhe blocked by Lan Xiaobu, Li Mozi and Yan Zetao showed no hesitation.
One of them ensnared Zou Zheng while the other restricted Yuyi.
Though Nine Provinces Mountain had killed an important disciple from their sect, this did not drive them to irrationality against Nine Provinces Mountain.
But today was different.
Today, Lan Xiaobu had already taken down Xue Nie.
Although Xue Nie hadn't been killed yet, he had clearly lost his combat ability.
Furthermore, as Lan Xiaobu kept Mu Yangzhe entangled, if they didn’t seize this opportunity, they would never be able to get back at Nine Provinces Mountain.
If they didn't retaliate, once this incident spread, their sect would lose all face.
Their core disciple had been harmed, and they couldn’t even seek revenge—what sect would dare to face them then? The status of a Five-Star Sect would plummet.
As for whether this event would get out, Lan Xiaobu’s style of action made it clear.
A Five-Star Sect could threaten others but could never threaten him.
They had to seize the opportunity, and Lan Xiaobu was equally determined not to let it pass.
Mu Yangzhe's face darkened.
Initially, he had come to reprimand Lan Xiaobu as easily as one would crush an ant.
Now, the situation had flipped drastically.
Xue Nie was incapacitated, and Zou Zheng and Yuyi were being blocked by two Immortal Realm fighters.
If he couldn’t kill Lan Xiaobu, Nine Provinces Mountain would be in danger in the future.
Even though he realized this situation was very bad for Nine Provinces Mountain, faced with Lan Xiaobu’s spear, Mu Yangzhe had no choice but to strike.
The Liuyan Searing Flame transformed into circles of brilliant fire, sealing off all the space around Lan Xiaobu.
A violent and scorching murderous aura surged forth, shocking both Li Mozi and Yan Zetao, who were fighting in the distance.
If they faced Mu Yangzhe, they would have no choice but to flee as far away as possible.
This terrifying fire not only locked down Lan Xiaobu's space but also sealed off all his escape routes.
A powerful Immortal field pressure bore down, making Lan Xiaobu feel as if his divine sense was slowing down, and even his true essence felt stagnant.
Lan Xiaobu was profoundly shocked.
He realized that this was likely the Immortal domain that Feng Han spoke of.
It was his first encounter with an Immortal fighter who possessed a domain, and the suppression made it hard for him to breathe.
It was even stronger than his God Locking and Essence Suppression Strangling Formation.
Among Immortals, compared to Feng Han and Xue Nie, Mu Yangzhe was like a powerful fighter among trash.
Mu Yangzhe quickly realized that Lan Xiaobu lacked a domain and naturally would not let this opportunity slip.
The Liuyan Searing Flame transformed into circles of fierce fire, with each circle releasing a fireball that shot towards Lan Xiaobu, carrying an overwhelming intent to kill.
Just after being released, it split into two, and then into four fireballs.
When the fireballs multiplied to sixty-four, they almost covered most of the space Lan Xiaobu could escape to.
Lan Xiaobu understood that he couldn’t let the fireballs multiply any further; otherwise, when they approached, it could reach close to ten thousand...
The Void Profound Spear soared, unleashing a flurry of spear lights in retaliation, while several soul thorns shot towards Mu Yangzhe.
Mu Yangzhe sneered inside; right now he was certain that Lan Xiaobu was not an Immortal, but rather a virtual divine realm fighter.
A virtual divine realm fighter could scare others with a few moves, but he could not intimidate Mu Yangzhe.
Did he think that his Liuyan Searing Flame only involved fiery light?
Lan Xiaobu had just stepped back a few meters when the fiery circles slammed into his back.
The Void Profound Spear and the fireballs exploded together, releasing an immense murderous aura that seemed ready to tear the space apart.
Bang! The flames struck Lan Xiaobu from behind, and Mu Yangzhe watched with certainty, knowing Lan Xiaobu was done for.
Once hit by his Liuyan flames, he would be completely extinguished beneath his myriad fireballs.
He had overestimated Lan Xiaobu; he had merely been putting on a show.
However, Mu Yangzhe quickly sensed something was amiss.
When his Liuyan flames encircled his opponent, they would typically burn away the opponent’s skin and trap their true essence, causing his fireballs to continuously tear their flesh and soul apart.
Yet, just moments ago, when his flame circle clearly hit Lan Xiaobu, it seemed like Lan Xiaobu had only suffered a moderate injury, and the power of the Void Profound Spear only grew stronger.
The notion of burning away his opponent’s skin appeared non-existent.
This was definitely top-tier refined body flesh! As Mu Yangzhe realized this, a terrifying killing intent suddenly surged, aimed directly into his sea of consciousness.
Not daring to split his fireballs any further, Mu Yangzhe frantically swept his divine sense to block the thorn aimed at his primordial spirit.
Despite his efforts, one soul thorn broke through Mu Yangzhe’s defenses and struck his primordial spirit, causing him to emit a muffled groan.
He patted his waist, and a massive, fierce centipede shot out, opening its bloody maw to bite down at Lan Xiaobu.
Initially, Lan Xiaobu thought that his soul thorn could stop Mu Yangzhe’s fireballs from splitting.
He intended to unleash the Seven Sounds Kill to finish off Mu Yangzhe since right now, he wasn't fighting alone; he had two allies.
To his surprise, a grotesque beast emerged.
Not only was it disgusting, but it was also clearly several levels stronger than anything else in the ancient path.
Forcefully retracting the Void Profound Spear, he channeled his violent true essence against the centipede.
Crack! The giant centipede actually bit down on the Void Profound Spear, its own ferocious power flowing back towards Lan Xiaobu from the spear tip.
In that moment, Lan Xiaobu felt keenly that his skills were too few and his killing moves were limited.
A Heavenly Slash surged towards the giant centipede, and simultaneously, Lan Xiaobu forcefully ignited his true essence, reclaiming the Void Profound Spear.
The giant centipede, struck by the Heavenly Slash, fell momentarily into a daze, giving Lan Xiaobu the chance to swing the spear directly at its head.
As the Void Profound Spear was about to pierce the giant centipede’s skull, Mu Yangzhe’s Liuyan came just in time, crashing into the spear.
The fierce explosion of essence sent shockwaves through the space, causing both Lan Xiaobu and Mu Yangzhe to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Mu Yangzhe managed to shield his beast from a fatal blow, but the residual force of Lan Xiaobu's attack still landed on the giant centipede.
Poof! With a burst of filthy blood, the giant centipede let out a shrill cry before quickly turning to flee.
In that moment, Lan Xiaobu revved his true essence furiously; realizing the opponent's beast was heavily wounded, he was intent on sacrificing some of his health to take out Mu Yangzhe.
He was ready to withstand Mu Yangzhe’s counterattack.
He had plenty of good things on him, and having completed his body refinement, he didn’t believe he couldn’t eliminate Mu Yangzhe at the cost of some injuries.
This was still his home turf, and his God Locking and Essence Suppression Strangling Formation was yet to be deployed.
The only reason he hadn’t activated it was due to his concern that Li Mozi and Yan Zetao would misunderstand him.
With the sound of the Void Profound Spear ringing out, Lan Xiaobu prepared to unleash the Seven Sounds Kill.
When it came to ruthlessness, Lan Xiaobu had never feared anyone.
But soon, Lan Xiaobu realized that Mu Yangzhe was retreating.
What did this mean? Lan Xiaobu knew all too well that in their recent encounter, he had even taken a slight loss.
Mu Yangzhe had faced injury, while he had sustained true harm.
Lan Xiaobu quickly saw that Zou Zheng was being pressured by Li Mozi; despite having many magic tools and tactics, he was evidently outmatched by Li Mozi’s deep comprehension of saber intent.
With every strike, Zou Zheng had to concentrate all his attention, and one careless mistake could see him eliminated.
Lan Xiaobu silently thought this was a classic case of overreaching ambitions.
Though Zou Zheng was an Immortal, he aimed to master everything.
In comparison to the saber-focused Li Mozi, he was clearly not specialized enough.
Although Zou Zheng could still challenge Li Mozi somewhat, Yuyi appeared even more beleaguered under Yan Zetao’s hands.
Yuyi had clearly not been in the Immortal Realm for very long.
Her true essence was not as strong as Yan Zetao’s, and her techniques were significantly lacking.
Lan Xiaobu noticed immediately that if Yan Zetao truly wanted to kill Yuyi, he could have done so long ago.
It seemed Yan Zetao was hesitating to make a move.
Heh, in that case, let this young master help you out.
Lan Xiaobu wasted no time and sent several soul thorns crashing towards Yuyi’s sea of consciousness.
