Asura Mad Emperor

Mu Liuyun's arms flowed with azure light, as Great Dao Rune Patterns emanated from him, rippling out waves of emptiness.

"What a terrifying move!"

"He's actually at the intermediate stage of the Life Spring Realm!"

The faces of Mo laogui and his three companions were unpredictable. They distanced themselves from Mu Liuyun, but were still shaken by the powerful aura of his Life Spring level cultivation.

"These three young people are no match for Mu Liuyun!"

A light burst from the eyes of the White Ghost from the Black and White Ghosts duo. "Mo laogui, should we help these three youngsters and join forces to take down Mu Liuyun, and then evenly divide the bounty?"

Her mind was nimble. Knowing that Mu Liuyun was haughty and wanted to monopolize the bounty, she proposed the idea upon seeing the conflict arise between Mu Liuyun and the three young people.

Neither the four of them nor the three young men could be sure of defeating a Life Spring Realm cultivator on their own, but a joint effort by seven cultivators at the late peak stage of Dao Palace would certainly stand a chance against Mu Liuyun.

A sinister glint flashed in Mo laogui's eyes as he communicated telepathically, "There's no rush. Although Mu Liuyun is strong, these three are not weak either. They have all reached the peak of the Dao Palace's late stage; they should be able to hold Mu Liuyun off for a few moments at least."

"Are you saying we should just watch as things unfold and wait for the fight to escalate before we snatch up this kid?" Black Ghost immediately grasped the meaning of Mo laogui's words.

"Exactly. No matter how strong Mu Liuyun is, he won't be able to suppress these three in a short time!"

But before Mo laogui could finish speaking, a sudden "Ah!" rang out.

A mournful scream echoed from the void.

Next, they saw Mu Liuyun fly backward like a Great Roc with broken wings.

With a "bang," he crashed into the street, creating a huge stone pit.

"Can't he take a hit?" Ji Huo'er, clutching her Embroidered Fist, pouted discontentedly and said, "I haven't even started to exert my strength yet. How did you fall so easily?"

It seemed she had blasted Mu Liuyun into the ground with a punch without even putting much force into it.

"What?"

"One punch! He was suppressed by one punch?"

Mo laogui and his companions were utterly shocked and turned their gazes toward Ji Huo'er in amazement.

Originally, they had planned to take advantage of the fight between Mu Liuyun and Qin Chuan to kidnap Wu Bing directly, then pry information from Wu Bing.

But to everyone's astonishment, the fight was over before it had even begun.

And it was Mu Liuyun, at the intermediate stage of the Life Spring Realm, who was defeated by a female junior at the peak of Dao Palace's late stage with an overwhelming punch.

It was not unheard of for a cultivator above the Spirit Martial Realm and below a saint to fight across levels, but the ability to suppress an opponent with one punch across levels was exceedingly rare.

Moreover, the opponent was Mu Liuyun, the genius of the Dusky Cloud Sect.

"You... you... who are you?"

Mu Liuyun struggled out of the pit, his voice filled with alarm as he asked.

He was a genius of the Dusky Cloud Sect, who even had the prospect of being named Saint Heir in a couple of years, but he had now been defeated by a young girl with a single punch, which greatly shook his self-confidence.

"You're not worthy of knowing my name!" Ji Huo'er raised her fist and declared, "I'm taking this guy with me. You all don't have any objections, do you?"

She was speaking not just to Mu Liuyun but also glanced at Mo laogui and the other three, her threatening intent clear without needing to be spelled out.

Mo laogui and the others immediately changed complexion again.

"Mo laogui, Black and White Ghosts, and that big dumb one there, let's join forces and take this young girl down! We'll split the bounty four ways!" Mu Liuyun secretly communicated to Mo laogui and his companions.

The faces of Mo laogui and the others shifted continuously, having originally thought that Mu Liuyun was their biggest rival, but now they were faced with an even stronger unexpected challenger.

Hearing Mu Liuyun's proposition, they only deliberated briefly before exchanging glances.

"Let's go for it!"

"No choice but to fight! It seems this girl also wants to monopolize the bounty."

"Though this girl's punch looks formidable, the four of us, together with Mu Liuyun, makes five. Perhaps we have a fighting chance!"

At this point, everyone had no other option. They couldn't just watch as the bounty that was within their grasp slipped away again.

"Kill!"

The five exchanged glances and leapt up, their Divine Skills dazzling and bright, their Magic Artifacts and Divine Skills erupting simultaneously, crushing down towards Ji Huo'er's head.

They intended to suppress Ji Huo'er at the first opportunity.

The next moment, Huo'er moved, her figure turning into a blur as she charged towards the four.

"Bang," "Bang," "Bang," "Bang," "Bang"

Five dull thuds sounded.

The ground now bore five human-shaped craters.

Without any surprises, Ji Huo'er punched Mo Laogui and the other four including Mu Liuyun into the ground below.

"Ah, you guys are too weak, you can't even take one punch from me!"

Ji Huo'er stood proudly in midair, her nose in the air as she disdainfully looked down at the figures lying spread-eagled in the pits, shaking her head continuously, "So boring, really too boring!"

Mu Liuyun and others lay in the pits. The punch hadn't injured them, but Ji Huo'er's disdainful and contemptuous words caused a wave of frustration, making them cough up blood.

"I... I've remembered now... You, are you from Thousand Fox Mountain?"

It was only now that Mu Liuyun finally grasped the situation, stammering his question.

Ji Huo'er had hidden her spell roots well with her first punch, and he hadn't noticed her magic foundation.

But the second time, when the five of them attacked together, even as a genius Ji Huo'er had to use three parts of her strength against the group assault, which made him recognize her immediately.

"Thousand Fox Mountain!"

Mo Laogui and others were shocked, they looked at each other and then came to a sudden realization.

"No wonder this little girl is so monstrous, turns out she's a genius from Thousand Fox Mountain!"

The four of them instantly felt a pang of bitterness. Since Ji Huo'er was from Thousand Fox Mountain, it meant that news regarding the Bronze Stone Coffin was beyond their reach.

"Now that you know this lady is from Thousand Fox Mountain, why don't you scram!"

Ji Huo'er narrowed her eyes menacingly and swung her fist again.

"Turns out it's the Immortal from Thousand Fox Mountain, we were indeed rash this time! This lowly one will leave at once!"

Having recognized Ji Huo'er's background, Mu Liuyun's attitude did a complete turnaround.

The news of a new Great Emperor born in Thousand Fox Mountain had long been spread everywhere, and even the Imperial Family had to give way, but Dusky Cloud Sect lacked even a Quasi-Emperor to stand fast, and he wouldn't dare offend someone from Thousand Fox Mountain even if he had a hundred times the courage.

"Just leave, right away!" Mu Liuyun wore a grin, unable to show any temper after being pounded by Ji Huo'er twice.

Then truly, he beat a hasty retreat.

Seeing Mu Liuyun scurry away, Mo Laogui and the others naturally didn't dare linger either, reluctantly taking one last glance at Wu Bing cornered and trembling in an alley.

Ultimately, they left helplessly one after another.

"Hehe, big brother, Huo'er's strength has improved, right?" Seeing the five of them scatter, Ji Huo'er bounced over to Qinchuan, seeking praise.

"You've already received the inheritance of the divine, there's nothing worth being happy about in dealing with a few lackeys!" Qinchuan glanced at her indifferently and poured cold water on her excitement.

Ji Huo'er's enthusiasm immediately dampened a notch.

Qinchuan paid her no mind and walked over to where Wu Bing stood trembling, looking at him indifferently, and coldly spoke.

"Even as a disciple of a Sect with a million years of legacy, to falter so in crisis is truly a disgrace to your Sect!"
