Chapter 939
Blood of the Emperor Ancestor
"You don't have that ability?"
The words of the Chicken Protector stunned Su Mu.
In all honesty, Su Mu did not test the Chicken Guardian.
He genuinely wanted to leave this place, thinking it was better to avoid trouble.
He was almost certain that Black Dragon Ao Kun had been tricked by Master Xuanxuan, and this place was definitely not Master Xuanxuan's treasure trove.
Su Mu always maintained a high degree of vigilance towards Master Xuanxuan.
He had a gut feeling that this was no good place.
Therefore, he only wanted to leave this place and did not want to get involved in Master Xuanxuan's affairs.
Unexpectedly, the chicken protector said it was not capable of sending them away.
Is this place still a prison?
If it's a prison, then who is imprisoned here?
What was the matter that the Chicken Protector was talking about?
"You're unlucky to have run into me."
Just as Su Mu was pondering, the chicken protector spoke up, "Trying to play any tricks or schemes in front of me? You're dreaming!"
"You can all die!"
Before he finished speaking, the Chicken Protector had already taken a step forward and let out a sharp crowing.
hum!
In an instant, visible sound waves appeared in the air.
At the same time, countless chicken feathers made of light shot out from the Chicken Protector's body. Those chicken feathers transformed into small swords, which rained down on Su Mu and his two companions.
This chicken protector was so confident that he wanted to take on three opponents by himself.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Su Mu's face.
Why do you have to provoke him?
He really didn't want to kill anyone.
Why force him?
No sooner said than done.
Su Mu had just let out a sigh when Black Dragon Ao Kun made the first move.
"You little chick, how dare you lay a hand on me?"
Black Dragon Ao Kun roared, and his thousand-foot-long body instantly expanded, blocking Su Mu and deflecting all the feathered swords.
With a series of clanging sounds, the scales on the surface of the black dragon Ao Kun's body remained completely undamaged.
It stretched out its claws and reached out to grab the chicken guardian.
Its cultivation level had previously fallen, so it was bullied terribly, and even abyssal creatures could force it to fight desperately.
Now that it has recovered to the peak of the Dao Saint Realm, how could it tolerate this kind of treatment?
Rumble.
The two instantly engaged in combat.
In an instant, a powerful gust of wind arose, and yellow sand filled the sky.
They went all out from the start, each wanting to kill the other, so they held nothing back.
The power of a peak Dao Saint Realm cultivator colliding in the air would have shattered a planet if it happened anywhere else.
But here, only tiny cracks appeared in the space; even the power of a peak Dao Saint Realm cultivator couldn't shatter the void.
The spatial barriers here are as thick as mountains, and even the power of a peak Dao Saint cannot completely destroy them.
The advantage of this is that peak Dao Saint Realm experts can move freely here without worrying about damaging the space.
The downside is that even a peak Dao Saint might not be able to break through the void and leave this world.
No wonder the Chicken Protector said it had no way to send the people away from this place.
If one wanted to open a spatial passage on their own as before, the power of a Dao Saint might not be enough to do so.
Su Mu pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Xuanwu.
"Xuanwu, go help Ao Kun and capture this Chicken Protector alive."
Su Mu spoke up.
"You think I'll go just because you tell me to?"
Xuanwu said irritably, "Why should I take your orders?"
"If you don't want to die here, you'd better listen to me."
Su Mu said calmly, "Otherwise, I guarantee you won't survive a single day here."
"Do you think I'm easily scared?"
Xuanwu raised his voice, his face full of disdain.
Even as it said this, it still slowly began to move forward.
It began to have some doubts; this place was strange, and it had a bad feeling about it.
The Chicken Protector was ready to fight and kill right from the start, clearly not someone to be trifled with.
It wasn't familiar with these guardians, but Su Mu and the black dragon Ao Kun were old acquaintances.
Fine, it'll help these two guys one more time.
Xuanwu reassured itself that it wasn't following Su Mu's orders; it had decided on its own to help these two.
boom!
Xuanwu suddenly accelerated, appearing directly above the Chicken Guardian and sitting down on its bottom.
The Chicken Protector was so angry that his face turned red, and he launched a series of attacks upwards.
However, the tortoise shell on Xuanwu's body was even more formidable than the defense of the black dragon Ao Kun. When those attacks landed on Xuanwu, it felt nothing at all.
Xuanwu, with water dragons all over its body, sat down on the chicken protector.
Faced with the combined attack of two powerful figures, Protector Chicken had nowhere to defend himself.
It was pressed directly back onto the ground.
Xuanwu's attack may not be very damaging, but it is extremely humiliating.
How could a dignified Chicken Protector tolerate having his buttocks almost slapped across his face?
In its anger, the chicken protector emitted thousands of golden rays.
Amidst the popping sounds.
The scales on the black dragon Ao Kun and the tortoise shell on the black tortoise were also riddled with small holes.
Fresh blood began to flow out.
They were both enraged.
The two of them teamed up and were still injured by a chicken protector. If word got out, wouldn't they lose all their face?
Enraged, Black Dragon Ao Kun and Xuanwu no longer held back and used their most powerful abilities.
The three powerful figures were locked in a fierce battle.
In just a short while, all three powerful figures were injured.
The chicken protector, in particular, was in a terrible state, with wounds so severe that the white bones were visible beneath.
Su Mu stood there with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and serene.
Although he didn't make a move, the presence of him forced the Chicken Protector to divert some of his attention to guard against him.
This threat constantly haunted the Chicken Guardian, making it difficult for him to fully focus on dealing with Black Dragon Ao Kun and Xuanwu.
It was already at a disadvantage against two opponents, and with its mind unsettled, it was now completely at a disadvantage.
If it weren't for Black Dragon Ao Kun and Xuanwu's desire to capture the other alive, the Chicken Protector would probably have been beaten to death by now.
Seeing that the Chicken Protector was about to be completely defeated, Su Mu suddenly frowned slightly.
The next moment, his figure soared into the sky.
The instant he took flight, the sand where he had been standing suddenly sank, revealing a huge mouth.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have been swallowed whole by that mouth.
As its mouth closed, a rat, a hundred feet in size, sprang out from the ground and shot towards Su Mu like lightning.
Its speed was no less than that of the Chicken Protector!
Su Mu snorted coldly in his heart.
The rat arrived suddenly; Su Mu hadn't noticed its movements at all before it appeared.
That ability to stealth alone is enough to impress people.
However, it was still a bit short of being able to ambush Su Mu.
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mu stepped down.
Boom!
A loud bang.
Su Mu's foot struck the opponent's nose precisely, the violent force exploding outwards and sending the opponent tumbling away.
Even within the same realm, there are differences in strength.
Although Su Mu was still at the Dao Saint Realm, his power had become unimaginably strong.
Even Su Mu himself didn't know just how powerful he really was.
Because no one has ever been able to force him to unleash his full power.
Even the Black Dragon Ao Kun, who had previously used his trump card, couldn't push Su Mu to that extent.
Su Mu simply didn't want to fight to the death with Black Dragon Ao Kun; it didn't mean he was no match for Black Dragon Ao Kun at all.
With that kick, Su Mu only unleashed 80% of his power, yet he still sent this rat, who was very likely one of the twelve guardians of this place, flying.
The other person rolled hundreds of times before barely managing to steady themselves, tears streaming down their face.
It wasn't that it wanted to cry, but that it couldn't control itself after being kicked in the nose.
The force of that kick was so great that it shattered its nose.
It is a powerful being at the peak of the Dao Saint Realm, and its body is as solid as diamond!
Even knives and axes might not be able to harm it in the slightest.
Now, his nose has been shattered by a seemingly frail human?
"Rat Protector!"
Black Dragon Ao Kun shouted, "Su Mu, be careful! This Rat Protector is the most treacherous of the twelve protectors. I knew it was full of evil schemes when I came here last time!"
Before Ao Kun, the Black Dragon, could finish speaking, the Rat Protector disappeared into the ground with a whoosh and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Su Mu stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.
After the Rat Protector disappeared into the yellow sand, it remained completely still, without even a trace of its breath.
Being able to deceive the senses of a peak Dao Saint Realm expert is no ordinary skill.
As expected, the protectors trained by Master Xuanxuan could not be dealt with so easily.
"Your skills are good, but not enough."
Su Mu said calmly.
Suddenly, he threw a punch downwards.
In an instant.
A huge vortex appeared on the ground, spinning violently and drawing in all the surrounding yellow sand.
The whirlpool continued to expand, swirling up more and more yellow sand, as if forming a river of yellow sand leading to the sky.
Without the yellow sand to conceal his body, the rat guardian reappeared before Su Mu's eyes.
Without giving it another chance to hide, Su Mu appeared in front of it in a flash.
Bang! Bang! Spray!
Su Mu kept punching the rat guardian.
His moves are brutal and direct.
But the Rat Guardian had no way to avoid it and was forced to retreat step by step by Su Mu.
The Black Dragon Ao Kun and Xuanwu, who were fighting the Chicken Guardian, were also stimulated by this scene.
Two against one, how could they possibly be no match for Su Mu?
They are all top-tier experts, and they don't think they are weaker than Su Mu.
Especially Ao Kun, the Black Dragon.
It was once a Dao Ancestor Realm expert.
Lao Tzu has become weaker, but not weaker than anyone else.
"You little brat, why don't you just die?"
Black Dragon Ao Kun roared, and a blinding light burst forth from his body.
In an instant, even the space around it crackled and shattered.
An indescribable power erupted from the black dragon Ao Kun.
Previously, Black Dragon Ao Kun's cultivation level had dropped too much, so he could no longer use many of his former methods.
It has now recovered to the peak of the Dao Saint Realm, and can now barely use some of the methods of the former Dao Ancestor.
It didn't use it just now because it was still a bit too much for it to use such a powerful supernatural ability with its current cultivation level.
However, it was provoked by Su Mu and it didn't want to be looked down upon by Su Mu.
As the black dragon Ao Kun unleashed its power, even Xuanwu's face showed horror, as it felt a deadly threat rushing towards it.
Instinctively, he flew back several miles, watching helplessly as the chicken protector's figure was swallowed up by a ball of light.
Xuanwu muttered to himself, "Ao Kun's strength is just too abnormal."
Luckily, I was smart enough not to go against them.
Otherwise, I would be the one like the Chicken Protector now.
The Chicken Protector was only facing Black Dragon Ao Kun.
If Black Dragon Ao Kun and Su Mu join forces—
Xuanwu secretly glanced at another battlefield and felt a chill run down his spine.
The Rat Protector was being beaten by Su Mu and was running away with his head in his hands.
Literally, they ran away with their heads in their hands!
From Xuanwu's perspective, Su Mu is more terrifying than the Black Dragon Ao Kun.
It's understandable that Black Dragon Ao Kun is so strong, after all, Black Dragon Ao Kun was once a Dao Ancestor Realm expert. Now, it has only experienced a decline in cultivation level, but its experience remains.
But what about Su Mu?
Su Mu is not a fallen hero.
Although Xuanwu was lazy, it wasn't blind. It could tell that Su Mu was young and had only recently become a Dao Saint.
How could someone who has only recently become a Dao Saint be so powerful?
You can't afford to offend someone like that.
Just as Xuanwu was muttering to himself, he saw Su Mu punch the Rat Protector on the head, slamming him heavily to the ground.
Just as the Rat Guardian was about to struggle to his feet, Su Mu had already stepped on him.
Su Mu grabbed the Rat Protector by the ear and began to deliver punch after punch, each one landing squarely on the skin.
Even a powerful guardian like the Rat couldn't break free from his grasp.
Xuanwu's eyelids twitched as he watched.
In just a few breaths, the Rat Protector had been beaten until his head was bleeding profusely.
Meanwhile, the Chicken Protector lay in a deep pit, his entire body almost completely devoid of intact skin.
Its eyes were lifeless, and its breath was barely perceptible. Although it was not dead yet, it was on its last breath.
Black Dragon Ao Kun was panting heavily and spat out a mouthful of saliva.
"You dare to talk back to me? Back when I was invincible, you were just an egg!"
Black Dragon Ao Kun cursed, "Even that bastard Xuanxuan doesn't dare to lose his temper with me, so what are you?"
The chicken protector twitched, but was too weak to refute.
"Stop hitting him, stop hitting him."
Over there, the Rat Protector shouted, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have ambushed you."
"Let me go, and I'll tell you anything you want to know!"
Those who know the current affairs are handsome.
The rat guardian was clearly much more agile than the chicken guardian.
It realized that if it didn't beg for mercy, Su Mu would really kill it.
That fist was heavier than a mountain.
The key is that the fist carries a sealing power that seals away all the power within its body.
It, a powerful Dao Saint Realm expert, was beaten into nothing more than an ordinary rat.
"Killing me won't do you any good, so let me help you instead."
Aren't you here for the blood of the Emperor Ancestor?
"I can help you obtain the blood of the Emperor Ancestor."
"That's what the Rat Protector said."
The chicken guardian over there twitched again, seemingly agitated. It spat out blood, kicked its legs, and fainted completely.
The Rat Protector didn't care at all and continued to look at Su Mu, saying, "You couldn't have succeeded without my help."
"To obtain the blood of the Imperial Ancestor, brute force alone is not enough."
"Ao Kun!"
Su Mu shouted.
With a flick of its tail, the black dragon Ao Kun swam up to Su Mu, a fawning smile on its face.
Xuanwu curled his lips and said, "Ao Kun, have you no shame? You act like this just because you see how fierce Su Mu is?"
Don't you care about the dignity of the strong?
"Have you ever heard of the blood of the Imperial Ancestor?"
Su Mu asked.
"of course."
Black Dragon Ao Kun said, "Xuanxuan actually hid the blood of the Emperor Ancestor here?"
There were rumors back then that Xuanxuan had obtained the blood of the Emperor Ancestor; it turns out it was true.
"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what the Blood of the Ancestor Emperor is."
Su Mu interrupted Black Dragon Ao Kun and said.
"The blood of the Emperor Ancestor is the blood of the Emperor Ancestor."
Black Dragon Ao Kun didn't mind and said, "Oh, the Emperor Ancestor is a transcendent being from our universe."
Before transcending, it left behind a few drops of blood, saying that whoever obtains its blood will receive the treasure it left to future generations and have the hope of becoming a transcendent being.
Back then, countless powerful figures fought to the death for the Emperor Ancestor's blood.
Later, those few drops of the Emperor's blood disappeared without a trace. I had long suspected that Xuanxuan had some, but he denied it.
"The blood left behind by those who have transcended?"
Su Mu's face showed a thoughtful expression as he slowly spoke.
"Such an important item, even if it really is in Master Xuanxuan's hands, how could he let others know about it?"
Su Mu sneered inwardly.
Although he had never met Master Xuanxuan, he could tell from various clues that Master Xuanxuan was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
How could someone like that not take good care of something so important?
Putting yourself in Su Mu's shoes, if the blood of the Emperor Ancestor fell into his hands, he would absolutely not let anyone know.
With Xuanxuan Shangren's strength, he should have used the blood of the Emperor Ancestor immediately after obtaining it.
Why keep it and let someone else benefit from it?
This is definitely not the way Master Xuanxuan does things.
Just by looking at the experiences of Black Dragon Ao Kun, it's clear that Master Xuanxuan is playing a grand game.
He even suspected that the reason he, Black Dragon Ao Kun, and Xuanwu were here might be because of the shadow of Master Xuanxuan.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that he broke through the spatial barrier of the abyss and appeared directly in this place.
And coincidentally, this place contains something called the blood of the ancestral emperor.
As Black Dragon Ao Kun had said before, Master Xuanxuan had always been pursuing transcendence, and the blood of the Emperor Ancestor was precisely something that could help people transcend.
The atmosphere of conspiracy was so thick that it could no longer be concealed.
Su Mu's first reaction was to stay out of it.
He would never be led by the nose by Master Xuanxuan.
"The Rat Protector, is that it?"
Su Mu said, "How about we make a deal?"
"No problem."
The Rat Protector replied decisively, "Any deal is fine, as long as it's within my power, I'll have no objections."
“I can spare your life and that of the Chicken Protector, but you two must pretend you’ve never seen us before.”
Su Mu said slowly, "You and your other Dharma Protector brothers, just pretend we never existed."
As for the blood of the Imperial Ancestor, you can fight over it however you want, we will not interfere.
"That's it?"
The Rat Protector looked bewildered. Was this considered a condition?
Why don't you ask me for something else?
And so, I felt a little panicked. (End of Chapter)
