Facing the simultaneous attacks of the four people, Xiao Mu remained calm and composed as he suddenly took out the Five Elements Lamp.

The Five Elements Lamp released the Five-Color Light Spectrum, instantly enhancing all of Xiao Mu's Five Elements Power.

Consequently, whether it was Xiao Mu's divine light of the Five Elements or his Earth Escape Technique, their power increased by about thirty percent over their original strength.

An enhancement of about thirty percent in power was enough to give one an overwhelming advantage over an opponent of originally comparable strength.

Seeing the Five Elements Lamp in Xiao Mu's hand, Duanmu Lang and the others' expressions changed slightly.

With their knowledge, they recognized at a glance that the Five Elements Lamp in Xiao Mu's hand was a rare treasure that could enhance the power of any Five Elements Category cultivation methods and divine techniques.

But before they could react,

Hum!

Suddenly, the divine light of the Five Elements behind Xiao Mu shone with increased brilliance.

Xiao Mu waved his hand, and the divine light transformed into the Five Elements Divine Bell descending from the sky, enveloping Xiao Mu within it.

Dong! Bang! Boom! Pfft!

The attacks from Duanmu Lang and the other three struck the Five Elements Divine Bell at the same time, causing the Five-colored Light to fluctuate simultaneously, while the Earth Power released a powerful Divine Texture that interwove into a Divine Net at first contact, diffusing a formidable Divine Power and covering the surface of the Five Elements Divine Bell.

The divine light of the Five Elements trembled, the Divine Net formed by the Earth Power swayed, and outside the Divine Bell, it formed a layer of yellow Divine Membrane. This Divine Membrane was incredibly tough, sparkling and flowing like water, and the attacks of the four assailants were blocked.

"Brother Duanmu, be careful, now it's my turn,"

said Xiao Mu with a smile, as he suddenly launched the Earth Escape Technique.

Swish!

Xiao Mu's body instantly turned into a stream of yellow brilliance marked with deep Divine Textures, moving around the area at a speed surpassing lightning.

Duanmu Lang and the others were stunned on the spot; Xiao Mu's speed was simply too fast.

Even if it was the same Earth Escape Technique, when executed by Xiao Mu, it was at least 1.5 times the speed of an average person.

This speed far surpassed their Wood Escape Technique and Metal Escape Technique.

"Gentlemen, I appreciate your forbearance,"

Before Duanmu Lang and the others could react, each person felt a chill on their neck, the threat of death instantly spreading throughout their bodies.

This sent chills down their spines.

Amid the smile, Xiao Mu emerged from the yellow light, holding a Divine Sword formed by the Five Elements Power.

Tiny drops of blood gently fell from the Divine Sword.

Duanmu Lang and the others were greatly alarmed and, on instinct, touched their own necks, finding a fine line of blood on each of their necks.

Undoubtedly, Xiao Mu had just executed the Earth Escape Technique, circling around them faster than they could react, and lightly grazed their necks with the Divine Sword formed by the divine light of the Five Elements.

Clearly, Xiao Mu had shown mercy; otherwise, at least two of the four would have died just then.

Shocked, the four of them fell silent simultaneously, unable to utter a word for a moment.

Cultivating the same divine light and Earth Escape Technique, Xiao Mu was far more powerful than Du Wenzhen.

Of course, this was ultimately because Xiao Mu's Earth Escape Technique was too fast, exceeding their expectations and allowing him to easily get the upper hand in the sudden encounter.

If they had been on guard in advance, perhaps they would not have been defeated so easily.

But a defeat was a defeat, and there was nothing the four could say.

"Brother Duanmu, what do you say now?" Xiao Mu asked, retracting the brilliance of the Five Elements.

Duanmu Lang's face was ashen, and he said dejectedly, "We've lost; Brother Xiao's strength is beyond our imagination. Sigh!"

With a sigh, he continued, "If only we'd known Brother Xiao was so strong, we would never have humiliated ourselves. We'll leave now, and won't bring up the Mutation Method of the Escape Art again."

"Brother Duanmu is a man of his word,"

Xiao Mu said with a smile, offering praise.

"It was Brother Xiao who spared us. Hao Zun, Tian Jing, Fang Mei, let's go,"

Duanmu Lang made the obligatory gesture, calling out to Hao Zun, Fang Mei, and the others to leave.

Hao Zun, Tian Jing, and Fang Mei felt unwilling but dared not say anything further.

Xiao Mu's strength had intimidated them.

"Excuse us!" Duanmu Lang apologized to Xiao Mu once more before leading Hao Zun, Tian Jing, and Fang Mei away.

"Old Xiao, why let them go just like that? Why not give them a thorough beating?" Du Wenzhen came over and grumbled to Xiao Mu unsatisfied.

"Why don't you give them a thorough beating? They haven't gone far,"

Xiao Mu glared at Du Wenzhen.

"Come on! Old Xiao, that's not fair, you know I can't take on all four of them,"

grumbled Du Wenzhen, backing down on the spot.

Xiao Mu shook his head and stopped arguing with Du Wenzhen.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to make more enemies; having too many enemies brought trouble wherever one went.

Besides, Duanmu Lang and the others had followed him all this way just to seek the Mutation Method for the Escape Art and had not really done anything to him.

As for the one who had instigated them from behind, Qi Shan, Xiao Mu believed that after taking such a loss, they would surely deal with him severely when they returned, saving Xiao Mu the trouble of taking action.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Mu casually emitted a burst of Life Force to heal Du Wenzhen's injuries. Then, using the Earth Escape Technique, they entered the Ancient God Forest.

With Du Wenzhen familiar with the area, he led the way, and after some twists and turns, they arrived at a gigantic pit.

This pit seemed like a Bottomless Pit, seemingly endless and deep, reaching down into the Netherworld, with Netherworld Qi and Yin Qi continuously rising from within.

However, it seemed that due to some special factors, the Yin Qi and Netherworld Qi coming from the pit were not only light but also sparse, giving off the impression that Divine Spirits hadn't resided for long in this divine dwelling.
