The first wave of Five-Color Brilliance had barely settled when the second wave appeared, taking the form of a horizontal Five-Color Giant Sword that simultaneously swept toward Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen.

Xiao Mu didn't even think, he immediately retreated, his Life-Death Step quickly shifting backward.

Du Wenzhen was faster than Xiao Mu; with his Earth Escape Technique deployed, he instantly passed Xiao Mu and reached behind him.

Spurt!

The speed of the Five-Color Brilliance was too fast, and despite Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen's swift evasion, they were still swept across by it.

Both Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen's bodies were nearly severed at the waist, and blood spurted wildly.

"Who dares to ambush your grandpa!"

Du Wenzhen cursed loudly, enraged.

The ambush had been so sudden that both he and Xiao Mu were injured before they could react.

Xiao Mu's expression remained calm as he immediately used Life Force to repair his body.

The wound at his waist contained an abundance of Five Elements Power, hindering the repair of Xiao Mu's body and making the healing process exceedingly slow.

This was Xiao Mu's first encounter with an enemy from the True Realm since entering it himself.

Under the effect of divine techniques, even Life Force was constrained, proving to be extremely ineffective.

Spurt!

The Five-Element Divine Light transformed into a Five-Color Giant Sword once again, chasing after Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen. This sword seemed incredibly sharp, cutting through the air and, while doing so, it spread five different scents.

Bang!

Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen struck at the same time.

Xiao Mu raised his head, with five divine lights rising high behind him, towering like giant swords.

Boom!

The five divine lights at Xiao Mu's back suddenly transformed into a Five-Color Divine Bell and descended from the sky, enveloping both him and Du Wenzhen within.

The Five-Color Divine Sword struck the Five-Color Divine Bell, making a colossal sound that scattered like a nuclear explosion.

The passage was destroyed, and the flying stones instantly shattered, transforming into Five Elements Power and dissipating.

Only the Evildoer Suppression Stele and its immediate surroundings remained unaffected.

Apparently, the site had been established by an ancient Mountain God, inherently possessing divinity. Faint divine light radiated outwards, protecting several zhang around it.

Spurt!

Simultaneously, Du Wenzhen extended his hand and infused Earth Power into the soil. The ground instantly churned, and ordinary soil seemed to become Five Elements True Soil, spreading forward and covering everything like a tomb, as if to bury the ambusher.

Boom!

A Five-Color Divine Bell fell from the sky, cutting off the path of Du Wenzhen's Earth Concealment Technique.

At this point, Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen finally got a clear view of their assailant.

It was a short, thin, and dark man whose appearance was no different from an ordinary person. However, he was surrounded by a flickering Five-Color Light, with the Five Elements Power swirling around him.

Furthermore, Earth Power surged under his feet, clearly mastering the most powerful Earth Escape Technique within the Five Elements Escaping Technique.

"Someone from the Five Elements Sect?"

Xiao Mu's expression darkened.

The thin and dark man's strength didn't seem very impressive, yet his ambush from the shadows had caused both him and Du Wenzhen to be injured.

The thin and dark man gave a sneer, his voice grating like metal scraping, "Humans?"

He appraised Xiao Mu from head to toe, his face showing a hint of surprise as he sneered, "I didn't expect there to be others in the human world who cultivate the Five Elements Power. Too bad your Five-Color Divine Light isn't authentic and lacks the might of mine."

"Heh heh!"

Xiao Mu chuckled lightly but didn't respond.

The thin and dark man was dismissive of Xiao Mu's demeanor and immediately inquired, "Human, how did you discover this place? Is there anyone else who knows this secret?"

"Old Xiao, give me a hand. Damn it, you're really selfish! Only caring about healing yourself."

Du Wenzhen suddenly transmitted his voice to Xiao Mu in a low tone.

His waist was injured just like Xiao Mu's, but only having cultivated Earth Power, he lacked the ability to heal.

Spurt!

Xiao Mu waved his hand, and a mass of Life Force entered Du Wenzhen's body, gradually healing his waist injury.

"Life Force? You've actually cultivated Life Force too?"

The thin and dark man turned his attention to Xiao Mu using Life Force, his surprise clear as he looked over.

As one of the most potent forces beneath the supreme powers, the Two Forces of Life and Death were almost exclusive secret arts of the Life and Death Sect, difficult for most people to cultivate.

And there were even fewer individuals who cultivated both the Five Elements Power and the Two Forces of Life and Death, no wonder the thin and dark man was surprised.

Before Xiao Mu could answer, Du Wenzhen was already shouting at the thin and dark man, "You little scamp, I was momentarily careless, which allowed your ambush to succeed. Now, pay for it with your life."

Before his words finished, he made his move. A flick of his hand infused divine light into the earth, turning the underground power into Five Elements True Soil that spread toward the thin and dark man.

"You think you can match me?"

The thin and dark man had a look of disdain on his face, then he raised his hand, and five colors of Divine Light stood up behind him.

The Divine Light of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth spread out like a fan behind the thin and dark man, eventually dividing into three streams: one of Water Power, one combining Wood Power and Earth Power, and one combining Power of Gold and Fire Power.

The Water Power instantly reversed, casting a shimmering divine light water membrane around the thin and dark man, protecting him.

The Wood Power and Earth Power surged upward, transforming into a Two-Color Divine Bell that descended with a crash, cutting off Du Wenzhen's Earth Concealment Technique.

The remaining Gold and Fire Powers, however, transformed into a sharp Flaming Giant Sword, cleaving directly at Du Wenzhen.

Du Wenzhen's face changed color, as he retreated using an Escape Art and loudly called for Xiao Mu, "Damn! Old Xiao, you're just standing there not lifting a finger!"

When you talked just now, you sounded so confident, I thought you could thrash him!

Xiao Mu was left speechless by Du Wenzhen but immediately made a move, with Five Elements Power surging from his back, deploying the same method as the thin and dark man. He protected himself with Water Power while using Wood and Earth Powers to form a Divine Bell to block the thin and dark man's Golden Fire Giant Sword and simultaneously swept a Gold and Fire Dual Forces sword toward the thin and dark man.
