Whoo-hoo!

The black wind blew down from the hillside, instantly turning the corpse of the man at the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm into ashes, with his Solidified Authority being released.

The Solidified Authority of the man at the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm was somewhat greater than Qiao Hu's.

Xiao Mu sat down and began the Absorption.

No, that's not right. Xiao Mu had just sat down, and before he could start the Absorption, he suddenly felt uneasy.

Xiao Mu's complexion changed; he felt as if he was being targeted by some terrifying creature.

That ferocious gaze was so focused on him that it caused his entire body to feel a sharp pain as if countless needles were pricking his body from different angles.

What...what is this thing?

Are there really terrifying beings on this mountain?

Xiao Mu's Mind trembled, feeling oppressed, and even panicked.

The horrifying creature lurked in the shadows, watching him, and even without showing itself, it radiated a terrifying aura that made him suffer unbearable prickling pains with just one look.

What is it?

Xiao Mu, feeling uneasy, shifted his gaze and scanned his surroundings, but in the end, he found nothing.

Aside from desolation, oppression, and eeriness, Kui Mountain showed no signs of any living beings.

At that moment, the oppressive and terrifying sensation suddenly disappeared.

Thank goodness!

Xiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, that horrific creature didn't appear; maybe it was just passing by.

He steadied his mind and continued with the Absorption of Solidified Authority.

It didn't take long for him to finish the Absorption. Now his Yama Hammer was even more solid and was already over halfway to being fully condensed.

That's great. With the same authority, two or three more times, and my second Yama Hammer will be able to condense successfully. At that point, my direct assassination combat power will be greatly enhanced.

Against the people from Five Elements Sect, I'll be able to ambush two at a time.

"Not good, the people from the Five Elements Sect are catching up!"

Xiao Mu's Divine Sense suddenly stirred. He felt movement from down the mountain and quickly stood up, concentrating his spirit and releasing his Divine Sense to explore the outside. He then detected the tracks of the people from the Five Elements Sect.

Qin Zhong led the people from the Five Elements Sect as they pursued in his direction.

"They're quite fast in their pursuit!"

Xiao Mu thought for a moment and decided to directly utilize his Escape Art to flee.

The strength of the people from the Five Elements Sect was still far superior to his own. It was too unwise to meet them head-on. It would be better to continue looking for an opportunity to ambush.

In an instant, Xiao Mu initiated his Escape Art, continuing to flee uphill.

"He's escaped again, and fast at that!"

Luo Zhan looked down at the Dust that used to be the body of the man at the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, his eyes emitting a five-colored flame of fury.

"You may escape once, but you won't escape a second time. Luo Zhan, Xiao Mu is heading up the mountain."

Qin Zhong held the Five Elements Heaven Pointing Needle and pinpointed Xiao Mu's movements.

"Chase him!" Bai Su'e commanded with determination and a somber face.

One who dares to slay a person from the Five Elements Sect cannot be allowed to go free.

"Wait a moment!"

Luo Zhan, with a contemplative look on his face, suddenly halted the others, then after pondering for a moment, he used a soul transmission to say, "Everyone, Xiao Mu's Escape Speed is too quick; we simply can't keep up with him by chasing. Why not change our approach?"

"Change our approach?"

Qin Zhong was puzzled.

Bai Su'e, understanding Luo Zhan's intelligence well, asked, "Luo Zhan, what good plan have you thought of?"

Luo Zhan said seriously, "Since we can't keep up with Xiao Mu, why don't we just wait for him to walk into the trap himself?"

"Xiao Mu's goal is to kill our people, right? Since it's to kill us, even if we don't chase after him, will he voluntarily come to us?"

"This..."

Qin Zhong pondered.

Bai Su'e's eyes lit up, obviously guessing Luo Zhan's thoughts.

Luo Zhan continued with a smile, "Since Xiao Mu will come to us on his own, why should we go looking for him? Isn't it better to wait for him to find us?"

"Moreover, with the Five Elements Heaven Pointing Needle, Qin Zhong can accurately monitor Xiao Mu's movements. So, the moment Xiao Mu arrives, we will immediately know."

"But Xiao Mu doesn't know that we have grasped his whereabouts. If we pretend to be unaware of his movements and wait for Xiao Mu to come, while making preparations when he attempts his next ambush, everyone strikes at once, what do you say, can we not kill Xiao Mu?"

Bai Su'e smiled, Luo Zhan's plan matched his expectations.

Qin Zhong's eyes brightened, and the breathing of the others suddenly became rapid.

This plan seemed to be highly feasible.

But then, Mo Ling couldn't help but speak, "Respected Envoy Luo Zhan, I have some doubts, could I express them?"

"Speak!"

Luo Zhan, in a good mood, looked at Mo Ling with his hands behind his back.

Mo Ling said, "Xiao Mu also has considerable strength, not to mention his many special techniques. What methods do you think we should use to kill Xiao Mu, Respected Envoy Luo Zhan?"

"Five Elements Heaven Opening Technique. Everyone will use the Five Elements Heaven Opening Technique together," Luo Zhan said with utmost confidence.

"What? The Five Elements Heaven Opening Technique!" Mo Ling was startled.

※※※

"Those guys from the Five Elements Sect, they caught up quickly, but too bad, with your Escape Speed, you'll never catch up to me."

Xiao Mu used his Escape Art to leave and soon stopped.

He was fully aware of how powerful his Escape Art was. There was no way for the people from the Five Elements Sect to catch up to him.

"Once I take a detour, I'll continue to go back for an ambush. Just killing three more, or even two, and I can successfully condense my Yama Hammer."

Thinking this, a smile appeared on Xiao Mu's face. He used his Escape Art, took a detour, and began to retreat, looking for traces of the Five Elements Sect people.

※※※

"That's right, the Five Elements Heaven Opening Technique. It's one of the most powerful offensive moves of the Five Elements Sect, burning the True Force, and in an instant, displaying twice or even three times one's own combat power."
