Chapter 848
Dragon and Snake Rise from the Land
Qian Guanyu and Qian Wudi looked at each other in bewilderment.
By the time they realized what was happening, Su Mu had already disappeared.
"Wait a minute, Ancestor Guanyu, are we just going to let him go like this?"
He did accept our gifts, after all.
It took Qian Wudi a while to react and he couldn't help but speak.
Qian Guanyu frowned, still wondering what Su Mu meant.
"Invincible, did he just say that he's not going to break through to the Primordial Realm?"
From what I'm hearing, it seems like he can break through to the Primordial Realm anytime he wants.
Qian Guanyu said with a frown.
"It seems like—that's the meaning."
Qian Wudi thought for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
Although he also felt that Su Mu was bragging, Su Mu's expression just now did indeed convey that meaning.
"No, no."
Qian Guanyu shook his head. "That's absolutely impossible."
Breaking through to the Primordial Beginning Realm is definitely not easy. In the vast world, reaching the half-step Primordial Beginning Realm is already the limit. To completely break through, there are only a few places where it can be done.
Su Mu could never have that ability.
Moreover, how could someone who has broken through to the Primordial Realm choose to give up?
Qian Guanyu did not believe it.
He himself had been working hard for many years to break through to the Primordial Realm.
Not only him, but he had seen countless martial artists, all of whom were striving for a higher realm.
They pursue the highest level and will stop at nothing to achieve it.
For this, he gave up the throne of the Great Qian Dynasty, as well as wealth, honor, and beautiful wives and concubines.
He didn't believe anyone could resist the allure of the Primordial Realm.
“Ancestor Guanyu, Su Mu is an extremely cunning man. He is deliberately using words to confuse our thinking.”
Qian Wudi said with certainty, "Even you, Ancestor Guanyu, failed to break through to the Primordial Beginning Realm, so what makes Su Mu think he can?"
I think he deliberately came to steal our treasure.
He took our sincerity, but now he doesn't really want to submit to the Great Qian Dynasty, so he pulled this stunt.
If you ask me, we should act now, capture Su Mu, and then torture him mercilessly until we tear him apart and extract all his secrets!
"Qian Wudi said with murderous intent."
He had disliked Su Mu for a long time.
He wished he could kill Su Mu immediately.
Qian Guanyu still had a frown on his face.
He certainly wanted Su Mu's secrets too, and now he wanted them even more than before.
He really wanted to know what Su Mu meant by those words he had said earlier.
Does Su Mu truly have the confidence to break through to the Primordial Realm?
If that's true, then things will get really serious.
Su Mu actually mastered the method to break through to the Primordial Beginning Realm!
If he could obtain this secret, not only would his own strength increase greatly, but the Great Qian Dynasty would also gain another trump card.
"Invincible".
Qian Guanyu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "You should immediately mobilize the army of the Great Qian Dynasty and launch a war against Su Mu's Great Xuan Dynasty."
I will corner him, then personally capture him.
"Invincible, I obey!"
Qian Wudi clenched his fist and said in a deep voice.
…………
Su Mu had just returned to the Great Xuan Dynasty when he received news of the outbreak of war.
Luo Anning, Dongfang Liuyun, and others gathered together, their expressions all serious and solemn.
"The Great Qian Dynasty has overturned our previous ceasefire agreement and launched a full-scale military campaign against us."
Dongfang Liuyun said with a wry smile, "Our Great Xuan Dynasty is alright, but the Yanfu Sect is the first to bear the brunt."
Senior Lu has already led the powerful members of the Yanfu Sect to the front line.
We've just received news that the entire Yanfu Sect is under attack.
Since the start of the war, the Jambudvipa sect has suffered repeated defeats.
This time, the Great Qian Dynasty was like a tiger baring its fangs, wreaking havoc on the battlefield.
Previously, the Yanfu Sect could fight the Great Qian Dynasty to a standstill.
But now, the situation is almost one-sided.
Even with the addition of Lu Yin and a group of Dao Realm experts, the situation could not be salvaged in the slightest.
Now everyone can see clearly that the Great Qian Dynasty was indeed harboring bandits to enhance its own power.
Lu Yin is right; the Great Qian Dynasty has always used Yanfuzong as a whetstone.
When the Great Qian Dynasty realized it no longer needed this whetstone, it revealed its true power.
The Jambudvipa sect thus became extremely vulnerable.
"Is there any news about the Eternal Heaven?"
Su Mu asked in a deep voice.
Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei of Da Luo Tian, and others have already submitted to him and set off to reclaim Da Luo Tian.
If they could take control of the Great Luo Heaven, they would gain another base of operations.
They would naturally have more confidence when dealing with the Great Qian Dynasty.
"No. Changshengtian has vanished without a trace, and no one knows where he has hidden himself."
Dongfang Liuyun said, "It's going smoothly on King Yang's side, which is perhaps the only good news recently."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
They had thought that reaching a ten-year truce with the Great Qian Dynasty would usher in a period of rapid development.
As a result, after only two years of peace, the Great Qian Dynasty turned against them.
However, the current strength of the Great Xuan Dynasty is insufficient to fight the Great Qian Dynasty to the death.
If it weren't for the divine weapons that Su Mu had brought back before, the situation would probably be even worse now.
"The Great Qian Dynasty seems to have gone mad; they are going all out, as if they want to defeat us completely in one fell swoop."
Tu Shan Hanyu analyzed, "When dealing with Da Luo Tian before, Emperor Qian seemed crazy, but in reality he was still holding back."
Now, the Great Qian Dynasty is indeed going all out.
"Senior brother, this time, we may really have to fight the Great Qian Dynasty to the death."
Luo Anning also spoke with a serious expression.
Su Mu nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.
Were Qian Guanyu and Qian Wudi angered and embarrassed?
But thinking about it, it makes sense. They already know I have a secret, so why would they let me go?
But with his current cultivation level, it wouldn't be so easy for them to kill him.
That's why they adopted this approach.
They attacked the Yanfu Sect and the Great Xuan Dynasty to force him to remain on the battlefield.
Everyone knows that the Yanfu Sect and the Great Xuan Dynasty are his core forces.
He would never allow the Yanfu Sect and the Great Xuan Dynasty to perish.
He could come and go freely on his own, but with the addition of the Yanfu Sect and the Great Xuan Dynasty, he had nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.
"You really think you can control me like this? You're underestimating me, Su Mu."
Su Mu sneered inwardly.
"Since that's the case, then I'll start by targeting you, Qian Guanyu."
"I'd like to see if your Great Qian Dynasty dares to continue after Qian Guanyu dies!"
A surge of murderous intent suddenly erupted from Su Mu's body.
In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees, and everyone involuntarily shivered.
It wasn't until Su Mu withdrew his killing intent that they realized what had happened, and they were filled with horror.
Just how strong has Su Mu become now?
Everyone was curious, but they also felt somewhat reassured.
With Su Mu around, they have a pillar of strength.
"Let the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty support the Yanfu Sect."
Su Mu said in a deep voice, "In addition, the Hengshan Sect can also make a move."
You don't need to worry about anything else. I want you to do your utmost and hold on for a while longer.
"How long is a period of time?"
Dongfang Liuyun asked in a deep voice.
"Three months."
Su Mu said slowly.
…………
While the Great Xuan Dynasty was discussing countermeasures, Lin Nianchu also found the sect leader of the Danxia Sect.
"Sect Master, now is the time for us to make a decision."
If we help the Great Qian now, and if the Great Qian falls in the future, we will lose all our opportunities.
Lin Nianchu advised.
"If we help Su Mu now, can you guarantee that Su Mu will win in the end?"
The Great Qian Dynasty has never truly been defeated.
The millennia-old foundation of our Danxia Sect cannot be destroyed in our hands.
I'm even starting to regret marrying you off to Su Mu.
The sect leader of Danxia Sect sighed.
He sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.
At first, he only thought Su Mu was a promising genius. Who would have thought that Su Mu would cause so much trouble?
In just a few short years, Su Mu has already become an enemy of the Great Qian Dynasty.
And it has caused such a huge uproar.
Emperor Qian has already ordered the Danxia Sect to participate in the war.
The Danxia Sect now has to choose one side.
But this is just too difficult to choose.
One is the Great Qian Dynasty, which has dominated the world for countless years.
The other one is a rising star, but Su Mu is young and strong. As long as he doesn't die, he will definitely become a hegemon of the Great Thousand World in the future.
In fact, Su Mu is already a regional overlord.
There are even rumors circulating outside that Su Mu is now the strongest person in the Great Thousand World.
Most importantly, the Danxia Sect had invested a lot in Su Mu before. Even their most talented disciple became Su Mu's Daoist partner.
If they side with the Great Qian Dynasty now, wouldn't their previous investments be wasted?
But if they help Su Mu now, and Su Mu is defeated, their Danxia Sect will definitely be implicated.
This matter concerns the life and death of the Danxia Sect, so he cannot afford to be careless.
"Sect Master, risks and rewards go hand in hand. Su Mu is currently facing difficulties, and helping him is like sending charcoal in snowy weather."
But in the Great Qian Dynasty, our presence or absence makes little difference.
Lin Nianchu said, "Since it's all risky anyway, why not choose the one with the greater potential reward?"
The Danxia Sect Master's expression changed slightly.
He remained silent for a moment, and finally made a decision in his heart.
"Alright, then I'll take a gamble!"
He said in a deep voice, "At this time of great change, our Danxia Sect has no choice but to rise with the wind or decline. It all depends on today."
…………
boom!
A mushroom cloud rose into the air.
Several figures were sent flying backward, and after landing, they staggered back dozens of steps before barely managing to regain their balance.
Everyone's face showed horror as they stared in terror ahead.
A figure stood before the army, looking at them indifferently.
Lu Yin glanced at his companions, his expression extremely solemn.
With a single strike, not only was he repelled, but so many Dao Realm experts were also repelled at the same time.
Lu Yin originally thought that he was already at the pseudo-Primordial Realm, and if not invincible, he should at least be hard-pressed to find an opponent.
In fact, since he took action, he has indeed repelled the attacks of the Great Qian Dynasty several times and even successfully killed a general at the Dao Extreme Realm.
Just as he was preparing to lead the Yanfu Sect army in a counterattack, this person arrived.
This person's strength is unfathomable; even he is no match for him.
"It seems that Su Mu has indeed mastered some special method. This method can not only be used by himself, but also by others. Very good."
Qian Guanyu looked at Lu Yin and nodded.
Lu Yin's realm was somewhat superficial, but he had indeed touched upon the power of the Primordial Realm.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't have happened.
The only explanation is that Su Mu's method of rapidly increasing cultivation level can also be applied to others.
Qian Guanyu believed that it must have been Su Mu's help that enabled the person in front of him to reach such a level.
This shows that the secrets Su Mu possesses are more valuable than he imagined.
His efforts were worthwhile.
“Your strength is not bad. You should be considered an important figure under Su Mu. Killing you should make Su Mu feel bad.”
Qian Guanyu spoke slowly, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion.
It was as if killing someone was as easy for him as killing an ant.
Even if the opponent is Lu Yin, a pseudo-Primordial Realm cultivator.
Lu Yin was also enraged by the other party's attitude, and a fierce killing intent appeared on his face.
"If you want to kill me, you'll have to pay a heavy price!"
Lu Yin let out a long roar, and in the blink of an eye, he had already made the first move.
Lu Yin has a somewhat kind personality, but his martial arts skills are definitely not weak.
Lu Yin's ability to establish the Yanfu Sect from scratch was not solely due to his ability to win people's hearts.
He experienced countless battles throughout his life, and in terms of combat experience, he was even superior to Su Mu.
Before breaking through to the pseudo-Primordial Realm, he was already one of the strongest experts in the world.
Besides, he is now at the pseudo-Primordial Realm, so even if he is not as good as his opponent, the difference is not significant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Yin unleashed his full power, his attacks like a raging storm.
Qian Guanyu's face also dropped its disdain and began to become serious.
The two started fighting.
The aftershocks of the battle stirred up gusts of wind, causing both armies to retreat continuously, leaving the entire battlefield to the two powerful figures.
This place is the front line of the Yanfu Sect's resistance against the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Yanfu Sect has a large number of experts, but the Daqian Dynasty has even more.
Even Emperor Qian Wudi personally led the expedition.
Now, Qian Wudi stands in front of the military camp, looking at Qian Guanyu and Lu Yin from afar.
He was naturally familiar with Lu Yin.
He had fought Lu Yin several times before, and the two sides were evenly matched.
Lu Yin's cultivation level has never been lower than his.
Now, Lu Yin's cultivation level has surpassed his.
However, Qian Wudi felt no jealousy whatsoever.
Because he has already seen his future path. His Great Qian Dynasty has a profound foundation, and he is invincible. Sooner or later, he will reach the Primordial Realm.
Most importantly, he could clearly see that although Lu Yin's cultivation had broken through, it was still no match for Ancestor Guanyu.
Previously, when Ancestor Guanyu and Su Mu fought, they were clearly evenly matched.
However, Lu Yin is now being suppressed by Ancestor Guanyu, and the difference in strength between the two is obvious.
Although Lu Yineng's ability to fight against Guan Yu Lao Zu was quite impressive, that was all he could achieve.
Before long, Lu Yin will be completely defeated by Ancestor Guanyu and die on the battlefield today.
His death will be the prelude to Su Mu's defeat.
Qian Wudi became increasingly smug the more he thought about it.
He couldn't wait to personally peel off Su Mu's skin, pull out Su Mu's bones, and crush Su Mu's soul.
Just then.
A loud bang.
Lu Yin was knocked to the ground from the air by Qian Guanyu.
A deep crater was smashed into the ground.
Before Lu Yin could get up, Qian Guanyu had already descended from the sky and stepped down.
Lu Yin crossed his arms and blocked Qian Guanyu's kick.
The two sides clashed and remained locked in a stalemate.
Lu Yin's face contorted, and his body bent over repeatedly.
Qian Guanyu, on the other hand, sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.
How can a skill acquired through opportunism compare to the strength honed through countless trials?
Even if their cultivation levels are similar, their actual strength is worlds apart, like heaven and earth.
If he can't kill Su Mu, can't he at least kill the mere figurehead Su Mu trained?
"Give it to me, and die."
Qian Guanyu snorted coldly in his heart, and the power belonging to the Primordial Beginning Realm erupted.
In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and a devastating thunderous sound could be faintly heard in the air.
Even when he fought Su Mu before, Qian Guanyu did not use this power.
Because he knew at the time that even if he used that power, he couldn't do anything to Su Mu.
Neither he nor Su Mu actually used their full strength at the time; they were both testing each other.
Having reached their level of cultivation, they already knew whether or not they could kill their opponent.
He couldn't kill Su Mu, but he was extremely confident in defeating Lu Yin.
Therefore, he used such power without holding back at all, even at the risk of breaking taboos.
This person's cultivation level is not low; he must have been carefully nurtured by Su Mu. Killing him would be equivalent to breaking Su Mu's arm.
If Su Mu gets angry, he will lose his composure and will surely be defeated by his own hand.
Qian Guanyu had already foreseen the future outcome.
Click!
Lu Yin's arms were broken, and Qian Guanyu stepped on his chest.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and his body fell backward uncontrollably.
Just as Qian Guanyu continued to stomp down, about to crush Lu Yin into a pulp.
suddenly.
Qian Guanyu's hair suddenly stood on end, and a chill instantly rose from his back to the top of his head.
躲！
A thought popped into my head.
Qian Guanyu had a gut feeling that he had to hide.
If he doesn't dodge, he will die along with Lu Yin!
With Qian Guanyu's status, how could he possibly perish together with an unknown person?
Almost instinctively, Qian Guanyu instantly shifted several feet to the side.
While avoiding the sneak attack, they also failed to deliver the final blow.
Lu Yin survived.
Qian Guanyu narrowed his eyes, a hint of annoyance flashing deep within them.
Who can save the people that Qian Guanyu wants to kill?
He suddenly turned his head, and Qian Guanyu's pupils contracted.
He saw a young man standing in front of Lu Yin, looking at him expressionlessly.
That person was none other than Su Mu.
“Su Mu”.
Qian Guanyu uttered two words.
"Qian Guanyu".
Su Mu looked at Qian Guanyu with icy eyes and uttered a name.
"Have you decided how you want to die?"
Su Mu spoke calmly, his clothes fluttering even without wind.
An invisible killing intent instantly spread out, even stirring up gusts of wind.
Qian Guanyu was furious.
How dare a junior speak to him like that?
That's absolutely unforgivable!
"I was hoping to let you live a few more days, but since you've come to me of your own accord, you can't blame me."
Last time, the battle ended inconclusively. This time, I'll show you that you have no right to be so insolent before me.
Qian Guanyu took a step forward, and his aura instantly soared into the sky. (End of Chapter)
