Chapter 120: A Clay Ox Entering the Sea

As soon as Bu Chengyang spoke these words, aside from the lingering ripples and surging waves in the deep pool, everyone fell silent.

Li Musheng glanced at the other party, raised an eyebrow slightly; at this moment, the other party had actually become quite tough.

But seizing the Bronze Giant Sword seemed to have almost nothing to do with the other party; it was all him acting on his own to provide for himself.

However, Li Musheng did not care too much about this; having a Heaven-and-Mortal Realm practitioner speak on his behalf, his aura of prestige suddenly rose considerably.

All in all, it could be said to have some effect, more or less.

At the same time, the faces of Qingshan Lou and the others were all somewhat grim; the purple-robed elder's gaze swept back and forth between Li Musheng and Bu Chengyang, clearly hesitating and undecided.

If it were only Bu Chengyang, they would not have placed him in their eyes, but adding Li Musheng to the mix, he found himself unable to make a decision.

Although Li Musheng looked young and had no fluctuation of Martial Way True Qi on his person, judging from the other party's attack just now, who knew which old immortal from the Jianghu had disguised himself?

Even though his heart desired to seize the Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword, he still could not decide whether to take the risk.

Just then, two old eunuchs from Dali nearby suddenly exchanged glances, then stood up together, shouting sternly at Li Musheng and the others:

"The Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword is a divine artifact of our Dali; your forcible seizure is an act of injustice. Even if this old servant dies here today, I will absolutely not allow anyone to take the sword away from this place!"

Upon hearing this, someone among Qingshan Lou and the others became displeased and immediately shouted in anger:

"You old castrated dog, speak your dog's nonsense! The Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword was forged by our Great Qi Empire, yet it was snatched away by you shameless ones; now you dare claim it belongs to Dali!"

Hearing this, the two old eunuchs snorted coldly and said indifferently:

"A group of stubborn remnants of Great Qi, do you not see what year it is? Your Great Qi perished long ago; the Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword and the world belong to the capable. I advise you not to indulge in the foolish dream of restoring your kingdom."

At this moment, seeing Qingshan Lou and the others arguing with the two old eunuchs of Dali, Li Musheng suddenly spoke to interrupt both sides, nodding slowly with a smile:

"What the two old eunuchs said indeed makes sense; the Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword belongs to the capable, so now this thing clearly belongs to me."

Saying this, he once again, in front of everyone, manipulated the Bronze Giant Sword to swirl several sword flowers on his own in the water, causing the pool water to surge violently and the waves to roll.

But at this moment, Li Musheng suddenly frowned slightly, looked at everyone with suspicion, and said:

"However, I have a question: why is this sword made so large? Is it meant for a person to use?"

Upon hearing this, the two old eunuchs squinted their eyes together, their disheveled white hair floating in the water, and said in a deep voice:

"Since Your Excellency does not even know how to use the Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword, it would be better to leave the sword behind!"

As the words fell, the chilling True Qi around the two old eunuchs suddenly surged; leaving only an exploding wave of water at the spot, their figures transformed into two lightning-like afterimages in the dark water, rushing directly at Li Musheng.

At the same time, seeing this, the purple-robed elder of Qingshan Lou finally darkened his gaze and made up his mind.

He waved his hand, signaling the other members of Qingshan Lou to follow closely behind.

Clearly, they intended to join forces with the two old eunuchs of Dali to first eliminate the greatest threat, Li Musheng, and then continue to plot for the Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword.

In an instant, the other experts of Qingshan Lou and the purple-robed elder all attacked together without holding back.

The oppressive pressure Li Musheng exerted on them was truly too great; moreover, the other party had Bu Chengyang, a practitioner of the Heaven-and-Mortal Realm, assisting them. If they did not attack with full force, their chances of victory were likely slim.

In a mere instant, the water of the entire deep pool boiled, with terrifying waves of Martial Way True Qi rising like a violent wind and tsunami, creating rolling giant waves.

Eleven Martial Way experts all employed their strongest methods; in the blink of an eye, they reached Li Musheng's vicinity and attacked with full power without hesitation.

"Northern Qi Divine Palm!"

"Myriad Phenomena Return to One Strike!"

"Iron Palm Shatters Bone Imprint!"

Figures shouted in unison, with surging Northern Qi Shen Qi flowing endlessly; dark palm imprints several zhang wide, dense and terrifying fist shadows, cold and sharp blade lights...

filled the waters surrounding Li Musheng; at the same time, five powerful auras from Heaven-and-Mortal Realm experts all locked onto Li Musheng tightly.

Five vastly different, vast True Qi streams instantly constructed a prison that sealed the heavens and cut off the earth, imprisoning Li Musheng in the waters where he stood, leaving him not a single chance to escape.

Simultaneously, the five Heaven-and-Mortal Realm practitioners all employed their strongest Martial Way Divine Techniques, attacking Li Musheng, who had already been imprisoned.

In an instant, the waters of the entire pool were stirred into towering, terrifying waves, surging out from the pool opening in the Bronze Palace above to a height of dozens of meters; the terrifying impact force caused the Bronze Palace itself to crack and collapse.

And the True Qi of heaven and earth in the pool waters at this moment was all absorbed by the five Heaven-and-Mortal Realm practitioners with full effort, completely exhausted in an instant.

These eleven people, in order to deal with Li Musheng with full force, even abandoned Bu Chengyang, clearly holding the thought of resolving Li Musheng with a single thunderous strike.

"The five of us, Heaven-and-Mortal Realm practitioners, joining hands, have completely isolated the True Qi of heaven and earth around you. Even if your Wu Gong is unparalleled, a clever housewife cannot cook without rice; now that the True Qi of heaven and earth is gone, let us see what means you have to withstand our five Heaven-and-Mortal Realm practitioners' attack?"

The purple-robed elder revealed a sinister smile on his face.

They and the two old eunuchs had been enemies before, but now uniting to target Li Musheng and seal him off, they surprisingly thought alike; the strength they jointly exerted was indeed unexpectedly powerful.

Without the support of the True Qi of heaven and earth, Li Musheng relying solely on the Martial Way True Qi accumulated within his body could not possibly be their match.

Indeed, given the current situation, he was confident that even an absolute top-tier expert of the Heaven-and-Mortal Realm far surpassing them would likely find it difficult to contend with them.

But at this moment, facing the eleven people around him, Li Musheng remained calm and unmoved.

He looked at the purple-robed elder who was speaking, shook his head, and said:

"Clearly, you are thinking too much."

As he spoke, the attacks from the three Heaven-and-Mortal Realm experts of Qingshan Lou and the two old eunuchs of Dali had already descended.

Five terrifying forces all struck Li Musheng's body, seemingly intending to smash him into dust with a force that sweeps away rotten wood.

However, Li Musheng simply let everyone's killing moves strike his body, standing motionless in place with a blank expression.

And in the next moment, the two old eunuchs of Dali and the purple-robed elder of Qingshan Lou and others suddenly frowned.

Because they were shocked to discover that the vast Martial Way True Qi they had struck with full force, upon entering Li Musheng's body, disappeared completely like a clay ox entering the sea, not stirring even the slightest ripple.

And Li Musheng remained completely unharmed from beginning to end!
