Things have gotten tricky, the situation has escalated. At this moment, he was not just dealing with Qi Ping and Liu Tong's ambush. The critical issue was the failed plan to attack Xiao Mu.

Both Qi Ping and Liu Tong wore expressions full of killing intent, ignoring the Wood Spirit God completely.

The two attacked simultaneously, each raising their Divine Weapons.

Divine light surged into the sky, the Divine Weapons were fiercely powerful, each aimed at an ordinary Divine Spirit disciple of the Five Elements Sect.

Boom! Bang!

The Divine Weapons descended, and two unprepared Divine Spirit disciples of the Five Elements Sect were crushed to death on the spot.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A five-color brilliance emerged at each of Qi Ping and Liu Tong's feet. After killing the two disciples, they didn't hesitate for even a moment. They immediately used their Escape Art, turning around to flee.

The five-color escape light enveloped their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, they were miles away.

"Xiao Mu, we saved your life. You owe us!"

Qi Ping's shout quickly followed, reaching Xiao Mu's ears.

Xiao Mu was taken aback upon hearing this. I owe you? What do you mean?

He had no idea that, having been previously dismissed as weak, Qi Ping and Liu Tong still held grudges.

We're weak? Isn't it us weak ones who saved you?

"Damn you, Qi Ping and Liu Tong! Damn you both!"

The Wood Spirit God was furious—absolutely enraged.

Qi Ping and Liu Tong, those two old ghosts, had ambushed him from the shadows and managed to kill two of his Divine Spirit disciples in a single strike.

How could he tolerate this? He was instantly consumed by anger.

But before he could react further—

Boom!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Three half-golden hammers shot into the sky—Xiao Mu's Yama Hammer had been unleashed.

The moment Qi Ping and Liu Tong succeeded in their ambush, the Five Elements Sect members revealed themselves, and the Fate Talisman's concealment of their movements was negated.

Xiao Mu immediately seized this opportunity and unleashed the Yama Hammer.

Three and a half hammers struck simultaneously. In the air, the three and a half Yama Hammers interwove, their golden light blending into a single stream. In an instant, more than half the sky was dyed pure gold by the Yama Hammer.

Boom!

Xiao Mu extended his hand, gripping all three and a half Yama Hammers tightly with the True Force. Without hesitation, he aimed them at—no, aimed at four ordinary Divine Spirit disciples of the Five Elements Sect—and swung downward.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four strikes landed, killing three ordinary disciples of the Five Elements Sect instantly.

Power +7, Power +8, Power +8.

Three corpses fell to the ground.

The last half of the Yama Hammer, being slightly weaker, descended more slowly. As it fell, one of the Five Elements Sect disciples reacted. With his face pale, he swiftly retreated backward.

While retreating, the disciple unleashed his Five Elements Divine Light. The five-color divine light exploded from within him, forming a sturdy energy shield around his body.

Bang!

The half-Yama Hammer smashed into the sturdy energy shield around the disciple. The shield shattered on the spot, and the lingering power of the Yama Hammer sent the disciple flying backward.

The disciple was injured but not killed.

"Xiao Mu! It's Xiao Mu!"

"It's really Xiao Mu himself!"

"Damn it!"

The Five Elements Sect members cursed loudly, especially the four True God Realm Divine Spirits.

The four reacted immediately, cursing as they simultaneously attacked Xiao Mu.

Five-color divine light shot forth from their bodies. Each of them used different secret battle techniques. In the air, a five-color axe, a five-color spear, a five-color silk scarf, and a five-color flaming hammer rapidly materialized. They vibrated and hummed in unison as they hurtled toward Xiao Mu.

"Haha!"

Xiao Mu laughed as he retreated. The moment his ambush succeeded, he had already planned his departure.

A five-color brilliance surged from beneath his feet. Xiao Mu activated the Five Elements Escaping Technique, transforming himself into a ball of five-colored light. Instantly, he distanced himself and dodged the attacks of the Five Elements Sect members.

Yet, before fleeing, Xiao Mu made a swift move to retrieve the three corpses of the Five Elements Sect disciples he had killed. He stored them in his Earth Seal Space.

The bodies of these three disciples all carried Storage Boxes, which must contain treasures. These could be used to settle his debt of twenty Secret Manuals owed to Headquarters.

As for the corpses themselves, it went without saying—they were clearly tied to authority.

Boom! Bang!

The attacks of the four Divine Spirits missed their mark, striking the ground instead. Ultimately, they failed to hit Xiao Mu.

"Scoundrel!" The Wood Spirit God cursed angrily.

"Damn it!" The irascible Fire Spirit God trembled all over.

The Earth Spirit God's expression was gloomy, and the Water Spirit God looked equally displeased.

In the blink of an eye, the plan to ambush Xiao Mu had failed, resulting in them being ambushed instead. Five disciples were killed at once.

For them, who had only brought a dozen disciples into the Sealed Land, this was a devastating blow!

"Chase them!"

The Fire Spirit God hesitated only briefly before deciding to lead the pursuit.

But barely had she started the chase before coming to a halt.

Xiao Mu's speed was too fast. Catching up to him was impossible.

Qi Ping and Liu Tong, on the other hand, might still be within reach if they tried chasing them. But, Xiao Mu's sudden reappearance and ambush had caused them to miss their chance to pursue Qi Ping and Liu Tong.

The four Divine Spirits fell silent, each wearing a dark expression as waves of killing intent radiated from their bodies. Clearly, they were all furious.

They had underestimated the situation. With one careless mistake, they were ambushed. Not only had the tables turned against them, but five disciples were also lost.

Five disciples!

If this kind of scenario continues, in just three encounters, they'll have no one left.

"That Xiao Mu is so cunning. As for Qi Ping and Liu Tong, they all deserve to die!" The Wood Spirit God roared angrily.

"Sigh!"

The Water Spirit God sighed. "Honestly, I hadn't expected people from the human world to be so cunning. We were careless. Wood Spirit God, I think there's no need to keep fighting with Xiao Mu and the others."

"Although we have numbers, many of our members are weak. While the strong ones can barely hold their own, the weak ones cannot withstand a single blow. Our advantages and disadvantages are equally evident."

The Wood Spirit God nodded. Bai Suqin was right. "What do you suggest we do?"

"In my opinion…"

The Water Spirit God, Bai Suqin, paused in thought before she spoke again. "We should head to Quake Mountain and wait for them. Xiao Mu and the others will have to go to Quake Mountain eventually. When they do, they'll surely encounter us."

"Additionally, if we can meet up with Luo Zhan and Su E, our strength will greatly increase. With seven True God Realm allies working together, we'll have a better chance against Xiao Mu and his group."

"Xiao Mu's ambushes rely primarily on the weakness of our disciples. Being easily killed in one strike allows him to succeed repeatedly."

"If everyone on our side were in the True God Realm, could we still be ambushed successfully? Could they still kill one of us instantly in a single attack? Could they still escape after attacking us?"

Her series of rhetorical questions left everyone silent once again, deep in thought.

Soon, the Wood Spirit God nodded and said, "You're right. If no one objects, let's proceed as you suggested. Wait a moment—I'll contact Luo Zhan to see if we can use the Power of Destiny to teleport ourselves there ahead of Xiao Mu and his group."

"Haha!"

Boom! Bang!

Laughter erupted near the group as a white brilliance shot skyward. The Power of Destiny rippled in the air, and calamity began to spread.

In an instant, a figure appeared at the edge of the group, next to one of the Divine Spirits.

"Xiao Mu!"

"Xiao Mu is back!"

The Five Elements Sect members roared in rage, especially the four Divine Spirits, their fury reaching unprecedented heights.

Bang!

Before the four could react, Xiao Mu struck with his Disaster Knife, slicing toward a nearby ordinary Divine Spirit disciple.

Shhh!

That disciple was split in two with a single swing, his head sliced cleanly from his neck.

The severed head flew, blood spouting from the neck.

Power +8.

Laughing wildly, Xiao Mu wasted no time. He reached out again, swiftly gathering up the corpses of three sect members—including the two killed by Qi Ping and Liu Tong—and stored them in the Earth Seal Space.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Five-colored light flared, and Xiao Mu once again used his Escape Art to flee.

In mere moments, he had fled miles away.

"Since you're here, don't think you can leave. Listen up, Four Divine Spirits—I'm going to ensure you all die here."

Xiao Mu's voice echoed from afar, piercing the ears of the Four Divine Spirits.

"Ah… Ah… Ah… Ah… Xiao Mu, I'll kill you! I swear I'll kill you!"

The Fire Spirit God roared toward the sky, overcome with boundless rage, furious to the brink of madness.

The other three gods wore bitter expressions, their faces dark.

They had let their guard down. After Xiao Mu fled earlier, they hadn't expected him to return. He ambushed them again, killing another disciple and seizing three corpses.
