Chapter 146 Annihilation of All Desires
A myriad of sinister magical powers surged in the sky, passing over Bai Tianxiong and crashing towards the distant Mu Mountain.
"What should I do?"
Bai Tianxiong stood there, stunned, for a long time before he could react.
Now that Mu Shan and Luan Mo Huang Lou of the Demonic Sect are clearly fighting amongst themselves, isn't this the perfect opportunity for him to escape?
The sinister magic swept towards Xiangmu Mountain, accompanied by the howls of a hundred ghosts, stirring up a monstrous yin energy that turned the sky a hazy gray.
"The Book of Chaotic Burial, the Book of Ghosts and Skulls?"
Mu Shan licked his lips, held his magic sword upside down, and despite watching the Chaotic Demon and the Desolate Skull launch a sneak attack on him with their supernatural powers, he was not in a hurry at all.
"Mu Shan, you have indeed betrayed our Demonic Sect long ago. Now you can recite the cultivation techniques we practice at a glance, which clearly shows that you planned to attack us. Today, we two will definitely kill you, this traitor who betrayed the Demonic Path, here for the sake of our sect."
The demon chuckled loudly.
No wonder he was so confident and so rampant.
Because cultivators reach the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, they can use their comprehended supernatural abilities to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, and with a single hand, they possess the power to burn mountains and boil seas.
At this moment, he and Luanmo unleashed their most powerful and deadly moves, making it seem like killing Mushan was a sure thing.
"Chaos Demon, your divine power [Fate Severance] is indeed extraordinary. You can actually stir up the death aura on Mu Shan with just a few gestures. It was worth it for us to try to coordinate and calculate the timing of our attack before entering the secret realm."
The desolate skeleton smiled in an equally sinister way.
"Don't forget our agreement. After you kill Mu Shan, you can devour all the destiny within him, but you must leave his soul behind."
"Of course I know about this."
Luan Mo nodded slightly. The distribution of Mu Shan's treasures, supplies, and food had already been planned when they entered the secret realm, so the two of them did not argue about it at all.
"After all, without fellow Daoist, we wouldn't have been able to kill Mu Shan so easily."
The cultivation method practiced by the Chaotic Demon is a superior method of the demonic path, the "Chaotic Burial Scripture," although it can only be cultivated to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
However, his supernatural powers are unpredictable and unpredictable, making him second to none in the Qingchi Demonic Sect.
【Soul Burial】 grants the Chaotic Demon Daoist the ability to attack a cultivator's soul even at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, while 【Fate Severing】 can draw upon the death energy within a cultivator, directly severing their fate.
Combined with the "Life-Serving" technique cultivated by the Desolate Skull Taoist, it can further restrict Mu Shan's magic power and soul within his body, leaving him only able to wait for the Chaotic Demon and the Desolate Skull's killing moves to land on him.
If Mu Shan had noticed something amiss with the two of them beforehand, he would have had a chance to use his swordsmanship and unleash his divine powers to break free from their restraints.
But by then, they had launched a surprise attack, and it was too late for Mu Shan to react!
Therefore, in the eyes of the Chaotic Demon Taoist and the Desolate Skull Walker, Mu Shan was already a dead man.
"You've really given me a good show today."
Mu Shan muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips as he watched the strange magical power approaching.
He licked his lips and said sarcastically, "It's just a pity that your years of cultivation don't seem to have improved your wisdom. You dare to compete with the bright moon with the light of ants, doing something that will lead to your own destruction."
"What?!"
Seeing that Mu Shan could still so easily mock them, Luan Mo instinctively sensed something was wrong.
However, before he could remedy the situation or escape, the next moment...
His bad luck came true.
A pitch-black sword intent slashed out from Mu Shan's hand, engulfing the surrounding air, light, and even space layer by layer, growing ever darker as it hurtled towards the three of them.
"You actually mastered that supernatural power, and you're using it so skillfully!"
The demon couldn't help but widen its eyes in horror as it watched the sword energy unleashed by Xiang Mushan.
"Demon Chaos, this time we may have to risk our lives."
The desolate skeleton also froze, solemnly urging its magic power to quickly defend itself.
Bai Tianxiong was stunned by the situation. Just a moment ago, he was confident of victory, but now these two demonic cultivators looked like they were about to die.
Moreover, he only wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
Why is Mu Shan so persistent in pursuing him?
Even when ambushed by someone from his own sect, he didn't forget to unleash his supernatural power to take him along!
Bai Tianxiong swallowed hard.
Although he couldn't quite grasp the power of Mu Shan's sword strike, the lesson Mu Shan had taught him before was far too great.
Moved by this thought, Bai Tianxiong quickly suppressed his physical discomfort and activated his divine power [Crimson Lotus Devourer] again, hoping to weaken Mu Shan's sword intent.
However, it happened in an instant.
boom!
A violent commotion erupted amidst the clash of numerous supernatural powers.
The demon, the desolate corpse, and Bai Tianxiong all revealed despair in their eyes.
The smoke and clouds vanished.
The three men's struggles were as fragile as paper, easily extinguished by Mu Shan's sword.
puff!
Both the Chaos Demon and the Desolate Skull coughed up blood and flew backward.
Bai Tianxiong was in utter agony, his internal organs were burning, and his entire body was ravaged by the dark sword intent, leaving him only able to struggle barely.
"How is this possible? How could the gap between us be so vast?!"
The demon spat out a mouthful of blood in agony and was the first to ask the question that everyone had.
However, Mu Shan merely shook his head, still scoffing, "Since you guessed that I had mastered this divine ability, why bother with such thoughts? Your supposedly powerful but merely flashy divine abilities will inevitably crumble before absolute strength, won't they?"
"What a Mu Shan! What a 'Seven Desires and Delusions Sutra'! As expected of the Supreme Daoist lineage, he easily shattered our decades of hard work with just one move, 'Embers of Ten Thousand Desires'."
The demon gritted its teeth, its eyes filled with despair.
However, amidst his despair, a hint of ferocity lingered:
"However powerful you may be, you are still just one person. We three, at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, are here. Even if we have to fight to the death today, what do we have to fear!"
"Three people?"
Mu Shan raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the furtive Bai Tianxiong, his sarcasm becoming even more pronounced.
Following Mu Shan's gaze, Huang Lou finally saw Bai Tianxiong, who was curled up and secretly activating the white bone artifact. He immediately glared at him angrily.
"You idiot! Mu Shan's swordsmanship is unparalleled, and the Heavenly Slaughter Sword in his hand is an ancient artifact. If the two of us are killed by him here, do you think you can escape?"
"Fellow Daoist is right. Everyone has the right to kill that monastery of Mushan. Even if we die today, we will certainly not let them get away with it!"
Bai Tianxiong coughed twice, gave the angry Chaos Demon and the Desolate Skull an awkward smile. After the Chaos Demon revealed the situation, he quickly exhaled slowly, pressed on his internal injuries, and extinguished the thought of finding an opportunity to escape.
Meanwhile, Bai Tianxiong secretly groaned inwardly.
He even regretted coming to this secret realm.
"Let's settle this with our skills."
Seeing the three of them reunite, Mu Shan finally became somewhat interested. He slowly drew his Heavenly Slaughter Sword, and boundless black light condensed within it.
The atmosphere on the field instantly became tense.
But just then, a mocking voice came.
"Eh! You're all fighting amongst yourselves. It seems my timing is rather unfortunate."
Everyone's gaze fell upon it, and their feelings immediately varied.
This person was actually a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator of the righteous path—Jin Hua Dao Ren!
