Soon, the four of them retreated, seeking refuge within the Grand Hall where Sheng Si was located.

They turned around and blocked Xiao Mu's path.

Xiao Mu drove the Fire Dragon Vehicle, intending to force his way through.

He didn't dare to stay longer in the room that was lit by the Divine Wrath Fire, otherwise, he was certainly doomed.

"Hehe!"

"Hehehehe!"

"Xiao Mu, there is no escape for you now!"

Turning around, the four Ghost Words blocked Xiao Mu's way, staring at him with a sneer, as if Xiao Mu was already a dead man.

Xiao Mu stopped the Fire Dragon Vehicle, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ghost Servant, confronting the four Ghost Words.

The atmosphere became instantly tense, with Xiao Mu not making the first move.

"Xiao Mu, take this attack!"

Niu Mang was a man of action, so he attacked first.

The Spirit Fork trembled in his hands, extending to be several feet long in an instant.

Holding the gigantic fork, Niu Mang was like an ancient giant that shook the world, wielding his fork as if to pierce the sky, as he stabbed fiercely at Xiao Mu.

Niu Mang was full of confidence; he took great pride in his ability.

The Spirit Fork was a middle-grade artifact, as well as his Lifebound Treasure.

Once he unleashed his full power, one thrust of his fork could blast a mountain top, its power was boundless, making it nearly impossible to resist.

"One can reduce ten meetings with brute force", the best strategy against such a fierce attack would be to prevent Niu Mang from making his move, by not giving him the chance to strike.

Even a Mutated Being at the peak of the Fourth Realm would suffer losses if he blatantly faced such brute force.

When the Spirit Fork was unleashed, the confidence on Niu Mang's face reached its peak, "Xiao Mu, today, I will reduce you to ashes."

There was not a trace of fear on Xiao Mu's face. Instead, he looked closely at the Spirit Fork, which was oppressively mighty and aimed at him, with a sense of appreciation.

He nodded his head approvingly, "Worthy of a middle-grade artifact, its power is indeed extraordinary. When I first broke through mid-stage of the Fourth Realm, indeed I couldn't handle it, but now...."

Xiao Mu did not finish his sentence, a faint smile appeared on his face and he suddenly stretched out his hand, taking out an object and wrapping it around himself.

The object was a Door-God Painting. As soon as he put it on, divine power was unleashed, and the illusion of the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui appeared, the virtual painting acting like Protective Treasure Clothes, Xiao Mu was immediately wrapped in it.

Buzz!

The Door-God Painting trembled as if it sensed the power of the Spirit Fork, and its divine power spread out. The space around Xiao Mu's body suddenly became blurred, as if many different folded spaces had appeared.

Bang!

The extremely powerful Spirit Fork collided with the Door-God Painting, but it seemed to fall into some kind of extraordinary space, its boundless strength was quickly absorbed, as if it was dispersed into many different spaces.

The Door-God Painting only quivered once, and it blocked the Spirit Fork, protecting Xiao Mu without any harm.

"How...how is this possible?"

Niu Mang was dumbfounded and could hardly believe it.

His all-out attack with the Spirit Fork was blocked by a mere painting, not harming Xiao Mu in the slightest.

How is that possible?

Crack!

Xiao Mu seized the opportunity to strike, slashing at Niu Mang with the Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram.

Boom!

The Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram hit Niu Mang, knocking him down on the spot.

"Ah...."

Niu Mang screamed in pain, got up with a swollen face, and could not believe that he was wounded by Xiao Mu in a single face-to-face encounter.

Xiao Mu's expression also changed slightly.

This Niu Mang obviously practiced a certain body-refining secret technique, his physical strength was terrifying. Otherwise, his Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram would have killed him on the spot.

"Xiao Mu, I didn't expect your strength to be so great that you can battle across realms. I admit that I underestimated you."

Ghost Words stared closely at Xiao Mu, his expression becoming grave, "However, we're not just comparing our abilities- only one of us will survive and there's no reason to follow a one-on-one fighting rule."

"Let's all attack together and kill Xiao Mu."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ghost Words attacked, not giving Xiao Mu any chance to respond.

He retrieved a black Ghost Face Banner from thin air. Once unfurled, it turned several feet long, like an iron-blooded battle flag. With each wave, it blotted out the sky and ground, covering Xiao Mu.

Underneath the Ghost Face Banner, it seemed like countless vengeful spirits were howling, wanting to devour the living soul, and swallow Xiao Mu alive.

Red Sky Child, holding his Purple Twin Blades, swung them releasing an abominable blood aura. With horizontal and vertical cuts, he intended to dismember Xiao Mu.

Niu Mang wielded the Spirit Fork once again, charging at Xiao Mu.

He Bei morphed into his original form, a Spirit Crane, and the moment he spread his wings, they transformed into two giant battle blades. As the blades rose, they emitted a dazzling halo, slashing across the sky irresistibly.

The four of them joined forces, intending to quickly kill Xiao Mu.

"Ghost Servant!"

Xiao Mu did not panic, simply issuing a command to Ghost Servant.

"Yes, master!"

The Ghost Servant knew Xiao Mu's intention instantly. After yelling in agreement, the golden Soul Armor on his body released a halo of light that protected his entire body. Following this, he swung the Soul blade, causing the Blade Aura to slash several feet long like ribbons, and charged at the strongest among them, Ghost Words.

Whoosh!

The Ghost Servant's Soul Knife slashed, bursting out a Blade Formation.

The power of the Soul Knife immediately doubled, and directly targeted Ghost Words' head.

Ghost Words was taken aback and had to turn to save himself. He recalled the Ghost Face Banner to strike back at the Ghost Servant.

"Leave Xiao Mu to you, I'll deal with Ghost Servant."

At the same time, Ghost Words shouted to He Bei and Niu Mang.

"Rest assured, the three of us together are more than enough to kill Xiao Mu."

He Bei shouted confidently, believing Xiao Mu was as good as dead.

"Let's see how you'll kill me!"

Xiao Mu remained calm.

He stretched out his right hand, plucked the Door-God Painting from his body and flapping it in the wind.
