"Awooo~"
The old man howled at the sky, stretching out both hands.
Boom!
High above the heavens, as if answering the call, a massive blood-colored pillar of light suddenly reappeared. It descended from the sky, targeting the old man's back, targeting Xiao Mu, crashing down with immense force.
Crack!
With a flash of white light, Xiao Mu harnessed the Power of Creation to retreat, effortlessly evading the attack of the massive blood-colored pillar unleashed by Gray Beard once again.
But just as the light pillar landed, there was another crack!
Xiao Mu activated the Creation Axe once more, unleashing the Power of Creation again.
This Power of Creation fused directly into the Bridge of Creation, supporting his body as he instantly arrived behind Gray Beard.
"Fellow Daoist, be careful!"
Xiao Mu warned aloud, and at the same time, two Yama Hammers flew out again.
"Ah~"
The old man let out an enraged roar, his body flickering as he raised a shield of Bloodlight Protection around himself. He stepped on a Yin-Yang Cloud, promptly flying to the left-front to evade.
Bang! Bang!
Xiao Mu's two Yama Hammers pounded onto Gray Beard's Protective Blood Light one after the other.
As the shield was shattered by Xiao Mu's strikes, Gray Beard managed to avoid a critical hit by quickly using the art of Riding Clouds and Mist, but the residual force of Xiao Mu's two hammers struck him squarely on the back.
Thud!
Gray Beard opened his mouth wide, spitting out several mouthfuls of fresh blood. Half of his body was even smashed into a pulp.
Crack!
The third sound of Creation followed immediately.
"Xiao Mu, you shameless devil!"
The old man roared in fury, cursing. The third strike of the sound of Creation nearly scared his soul out of his body.
Xiao Mu's mastery of the Power of Creation was too eerie, too horrifying!
Without a second thought, from beneath the old man, the Yin-Yang Cloud erupted with two streaks of brilliance, one Yin and one Yang, surging into the sky.
The two beams of brilliance spiraled around him, and the old man's figure melted like smoke, vanishing directly into the swirling clouds above.
In the next moment, the clouds dispersed, and Gray Beard's figure reappeared amidst the crowd of Heavenly Court Mutated Beings up ahead.
"Fellow Daoist, a moment ago you called me a frog at the bottom of the well and declared you'd capture me outright and execute me on the spot. Now here I am standing before you. Why do you keep running away?"
Xiao Mu stood at the head of the Bridge of Creation, glaring down as he questioned Gray Beard in the crowd.
"Xiao Mu, don't get cocky! You're not invincible. Even if I can't deal with you, someone else surely can!"
Gray Beard refused to back down, raising a hand to point angrily at Xiao Mu.
"If that's the case, why don't you personally come and try?"
Xiao Mu sneered coldly, gripping the Creation Axe and slashing out once again.
Crack!
The moment Gray Beard saw the Creation Axe, his face changed dramatically. Without hesitation, he stomped his feet, and a Yin-Yang Cloud rose to carry him as he attempted to flee into the distance.
"My Power of Creation disregards space, disregards distance—how could I let you escape?"
Standing firm on the Bridge of Creation, Xiao Mu extended the bridge, and at the very moment his words finished, he once again arrived behind Gray Beard.
Gray Beard almost passed out in fright. He leapt directly off the Yin-Yang Cloud, diving into the throng of Heavenly Court Mutated Beings, while shouting orders at the top of his lungs, "Block him! Block him!"
"Xiao Mu, this is no place for your presumptuousness!"
"Xiao Mu, stop right there!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The surrounding Heavenly Court Mutated Beings responded in unison, surging forward to surround him. At least dozens of them charged forth.
Streaks of brilliance soared into the sky, Divine Weapons danced wildly, and Divine Treasures radiated dazzling light.
Dozens of attacks, using their most powerful and lethal techniques, converged on Xiao Mu, both to assault and intercept him.
"Haha!"
Xiao Mu broke into uproarious laughter. With a crack, the White Light of Creation flashed again.
His figure vanished instantly, evading the combined assault of the entire Heavenly Court Mutated Beings group in a single breath.
Not only that, the next instant, his figure reappeared directly behind Gray Beard.
"This time, I bid you farewell on your journey!"
With a buzzing sound, two Yama Hammers merged into one in Xiao Mu's hands, crushing toward the back of Gray Beard's head.
Bam!
Gray Beard's body shattered on the spot.
A ball of gray-white brilliance lingered momentarily in the air before being dispersed by Xiao Mu's twin hammers.
The Power of Destiny!
Xiao Mu's Divine Eye immediately discerned that Gray Beard had just now used a Destiny Talisman, borrowing the Power of Destiny to alter his fate and evade a lethal blow.
However, how many Destiny Talismans could there be?
How many times could Gray Beard save himself?
With a flicker of his Divine Eye Technique, Xiao Mu sighted Gray Beard once again, retreating desperately into the crowd of Heavenly Court Mutated Beings.
"A moment ago, you boasted openly of the power to capture me, Xiao Mu."
"Now, when I deliver myself to you, why persistently flee instead of facing me head-on?"
Xiao Mu cast a mocking glance at Gray Beard as he relentlessly pursued.
Gray Beard's face turned ashen, unable to reply.
Xiao Mu, however, paid no regard for his struggles. He drew out the Creation Axe and swung lightly.
Crack!
The White Light of Creation flashed, and Xiao Mu's form disappeared once more.
A moment later, it reappeared.
The moment Xiao Mu swung the Creation Axe, Gray Beard's face twisted in terror. Without waiting for Xiao Mu to approach, he desperately grabbed a late-stage Divine Spirit man from his side and thrust him forward as a shield.
Bam! Bam!
Xiao Mu's twin Yama Hammers struck almost simultaneously on the Divine Spirit man being used as a scapegoat by Gray Beard.
The late-stage Divine Spirit man didn't even have time to scream before being killed outright by Xiao Mu.
Power +7.
Meanwhile, Gray Beard used the moment to escape again.
His form flickered as Yin Yang Power surged from beneath his feet. At the same time, a blood-colored river appeared below his body.
With a swift dive, Gray Beard merged directly into the blood-colored river.
The next moment, his figure re-emerged in the distance, once again creating a gap between himself and Xiao Mu.
"Block him! Block him! Stop Xiao Mu!"
Finally managing to escape momentarily, Gray Beard spun around, roaring orders at the Heavenly Court Mutated Beings, commanding them to intercept Xiao Mu.
"Kill!"
"Xiao Mu, stop right there!"
"Kill!"
The boisterous cries of dozens surged as beams of light rose sharply into the heavens. Divine Weapons, Divine Treasures, and Secret Technique Weapons danced once more, hurling ferociously at Xiao Mu.
But Xiao Mu remained composed, taking out the Creation Axe and slashing casually.
Crack!
His form disappeared yet again. In an instant, he dodged the collective assault of dozens of Heavenly Court Mutated Beings and swiftly closed in on Gray Beard's position.
Golden Light soared to the skies as Xiao Mu, wielding his twin Yama Hammers, struck at Gray Beard from behind once again.
Thud! Gray Beard once again dissolved into a gray-white Light of Fate and vanished where he had stood, reappearing elsewhere.
Once more, the Power of Destiny!
"Heh, since Fellow Daoist won't come to kill me, I'll simply kill you personally!"
Xiao Mu chuckled coldly. The number of Destiny Talismans usable for substitutions was limited; how many more did Gray Beard have?
With a swing of the Creation Axe, the crack of its power resounded as Xiao Mu instantaneously teleported, continuing his relentless attack on Gray Beard.
"Block him! All of you block him!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Gray Beard fled desperately while issuing commands for the Heavenly Court Mutated Beings to stop Xiao Mu in his tracks.
However, relying on the Power of Creation, Xiao Mu easily maneuvered, ignoring both space and distance. How could any ordinary Mutated Beings halt his pursuit?
Before long, Gray Beard was caught by Xiao Mu three times in quick succession.
To Gray Beard's credit, his cunning tactics and numerous methods allowed him to narrowly escape each time.
Once, he used another ordinary Heavenly Court Mutated Being as a shield. Another time, he transformed into a pool of crimson blood, swapping bodies in a way strikingly similar to Xiao Mu's Changeable Divine Technique. And once more, he used a Destiny Talisman to elude capture.
Three consecutive times, Gray Beard evidently exhausted all his resources. His face was now contorted with fear as blood ran like sweat down his body. He was utterly terrified.
Meanwhile, over on the Human Camp's side, those watching the battle were utterly dumbfounded.
Xiao Mu, singlehandedly chasing an entire station of Heavenly Court Mutated Beings into retreat... How terrifying!
So overwhelmingly terrifying!
As for Xiao Mu, he paid no heed to their astonishment. His sole focus was catching Gray Beard and killing him.
Gray Beard was clearly a key figure of the Heavenly Court. If Xiao Mu could slay him, the Heavenly Court's morale would surely take a tremendous hit.
