The golden eyes of Hou flared with coldness.
He glanced at the head in his hand and suddenly hurled it viciously toward Mu Tianyin.
Mu Tianyin’s eyes narrowed rapidly, and he slashed at the flying head with his heavy sword, splitting it in half, scattered at his feet.
"Go all out and finish the battle quickly!" Mu Tianyin commanded the remaining two with cold, ruthless eyes.
He had brought four followers, believing it a foolproof plan, yet they suffered injuries one after another.
Mu Tianyin’s expression was terrifyingly somber; he wanted to win and make everyone present regret opposing him!
Heeding his order, combined with the tragic death of their companion, Mu Tianyin’s two followers increased their ferocity.
Instantly, Mu Chen, Mu Peng, Jiang Li, and Yuanyuan felt tremendous pressure.
The four fought while retreating, accumulating damage on their bodies.
Hou rushed toward Mu Qingge, intending to confront Mu Tianyin.
However, halfway through his charge, Mu Qingge shouted to him: "Go help them!"
This shout stopped Hou in his tracks, his eyes flickering slightly, and he turned his direction, charging toward the opponent of Jiang Li and Yuanyuan’s Golden Realm Sixth Layer.
This wasn’t Mu Qingge holding her ground stubbornly, nor was she ignorant of the strategy to capture the leader first.
It was because Mu Tianyin’s cultivation was evidently the strongest among the remaining three. If Hou faced him, it might be hard to determine a victor for a while, and the pressure on the other two fronts wouldn’t lessen at all, making little difference whether a person was killed earlier or not.
So instead of that, it was better to let Hou first eliminate the weaker ones, leaving only Mu Tianyin. Then she would surely win!
And she, relying on her formidable physique and self-healing ability, could still manage to entangle with Mu Tianyin for a while. Besides, he desired the Divine Strategy, unwilling to kill her straight away, and would only try to torment her.
Mu Qingge’s eyes were cool, having quickly analyzed all situations in her mind while fighting Mu Tianyin.
As long as she continued holding on, letting Hou deal with the remaining two, she would be able to kill Mu Tianyin!
Hou’s midway return signaled his understanding of Mu Qingge’s thoughts, which was why he didn’t charge towards her.
With Hou’s help, the pressure significantly eased on Jiang Li and Yuanyuan.
The two temporarily caught a break; Jiang Li immediately consumed the elixir given by Mu Qingge for healing. Yuanyuan, possessing the Abnormal Fire Body, hadn’t suffered any injury but had depleted much of her strength. She too needed a moment to breathe.
"You do have some scheming." Mu Tianyin snorted coldly at Mu Qingge.
Her words to Hou conveyed Mu Qingge’s strategy to Mu Tianyin too.
Mu Qingge’s eyes remained clear, without responding to his words, continuing her relentless assault, even though her attacks couldn’t harm Mu Tianyin physically; she needed to force him into concentrating on her, unable to focus on others!
Mu Tianyin’s attacks repeatedly landed on Mu Qingge, most blocked by her armor, while a small portion hit her.
"Courting death!" Mu Tianyin spun, unleashing countless sword shadows around him, rushing towards Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge’s face, hands, and robe exposed beyond the armor got slashed by these sword lights, blood seeping from the wounds.
Yet, in just a moment, those wounds healed automatically, restored to their original condition!
This scene caught Mu Tianyin’s attention, his eyes flashing, sneering: "To have such a strong healing ability, no wonder you dared to battle me alone."
With that said, he thrust another sword fiercely, the light as if connecting heaven and earth, charging at Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge grasped the Linglong Spear to defend, but couldn’t withstand it, retreating continually, stirring layers of snow mist behind her.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The formidable power shattered Mu Qingge’s defense formed by spiritual power, hitting her directly, forcing her to swallow three mouthfuls of blood.
Now, her entire skeleton crackled, seemingly about to break.
Mu Qingge embedded the Linglong Spear into the snow, wiping away the blood from her mouth, looking at Mu Tianyin with cold eyes.
Mu Tianyin remarked mockingly: "If I recall correctly, the Divine Level Armor on you has already blocked two of my full-fledged attacks."
He was reminding Mu Qingge that if it happened once more, her Divine Level Armor would shatter.
And she, thoroughly exposed before him.
Once unable to withstand his attacks, she would fail. Even though her healing ability was extraordinary, she couldn’t keep up with his attack speed.
"Do you think having incredible healing is equivalent to possessing an Undying Body? Ridiculous!" Mu Tianyin sneered, raising his heavy sword to charge toward Mu Qingge again.
Mu Qingge’s eyes focused, raising the Linglong Spear to meet the attack.
Jiang Li quickly finished adjusting his breath and saw the increasingly alarming battle with Mu Qingge, then turned to Yuanyuan, saying: "You have a pact with Qingge, once you’re ready, quickly go help her, I’ll assist Mu Chen and Mu Peng."
As long as they could stall until Hou handled one opponent, they would have a chance to win this.
With that said, Jiang Li swayed his tail, rushing toward Mu Chen and Mu Peng. His addition couldn’t kill the Golden Realm Sixth Layer opponent, but it could dramatically reduce the pressure on Mu Chen and Mu Peng.
His cold and fierce eyes turned grim, a murderous glint erupted from his gaze, he frantically channeled Spiritual Power, repairing the burned portion of the armor. He tossed the heavy sword upwards and quickly executed techniques with both hands.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed, a world-destroying power erupted from his hands, tearing through the air as darkness suddenly enveloped the space.
This shocking scene prompted Mu Qingge to be on high alert, the flames around her intensified.
The sudden darkness of the sky alarmed others as well.
The Hou struck his opponent, causing them to vomit blood, then looked up at the sky with foreboding. He shouted towards Mu Qingge, "This guy is about to use a spell, run quickly!"
Saying this, he rushed towards Mu Qingge.
However, as soon as he moved, Mu Tianyin’s subordinate blocked his path with a sinister smile. "Want to save someone? I might not be able to kill you, but I can certainly stop you!"
The Hou, furious, raised his hand and attacked!
A spell!
Mu Qingge’s heart trembled; she looked up at the darkening sky, a power beyond words seemed to lurk within, feeling as destructive as the apocalypse.
This power was beyond any martial arts!
Even the Heavenly Level martial arts she had learned, the Thousand Thunder Technique, could not gather such formidable power.
"Daring to use a spell with a cultivation of the Golden Realm Sixth Layer, are you not afraid of a backlash!" The Hou, entangled and unable to escape, could only threaten Mu Tianyin with words.
"A spell!"
Amidst another battle, Jiang Li heard the Hou’s words and exclaimed in shock.
Unexpectedly, the person at the Golden Realm Sixth Layer, hearing her exclamation, mocked in return, "You ants naturally do not understand what a spell is. Once my Young Master casts a spell, none of you will leave here alive!"
His words caused Jiang Li’s expression to change, and she shouted at Mu Qingge, "Qingge, run quickly!"
Flee! You must flee!
In fact, without any reminders, Mu Qingge already felt the irresistible force within her heart.
If she were to stubbornly resist, the final outcome would likely be her annihilation!
"You Middle Ancient Realm folks, prepare to die--!" Mu Tianyin’s eyes were sinister as he gave Mu Qingge a fierce grin.
Then, an apocalyptic power gathered in his palms, forming a huge hand that directly reached for Mu Qingge...
