Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 599 - 356
Chapter 599: 356
Just now, he cooperated with Yu Shouxuan, deliberately discussing so many court secrets with Chen Mu, in order to attract Chen Mu’s mind and distract his attention. This allowed Tan Jingguang, who is adept at the Earth Escape Technique, to stealthily approach from behind Chen Mu and block his escape route.
Within the Earthly Abyss, escaping underground is ultimately very difficult, even for a grandmaster like Tan Jingguang. In order not to alert Chen Mu, he had to stick close to the surface of the wasteland and take a big detour to arrive behind Chen Mu before finally making his move.
However.
Chen Mu was indifferent to Tan Jingguang, who had emerged from the ground to block his retreat, and paid no heed to Yu Shouxuan, who was slowly approaching from the front. He only fixed his gaze on Liu Wanzheng and said softly, “It’s a pity for the Liu Family of Yu State, who will inevitably be implicated by you.”
“Once you die here, no one will be aware of those secrets,”
Liu Wanzheng said indifferently.
...
Yu Shouxuan ‘heh’ed, having stepped forward and now stood just over thirty yards away from Chen Mu, “Peak Master Chen couldn’t possibly think he can still escape to heaven, could you? You forgot, I, Yu Shouxuan, am also listed among the grandmasters of the world. In these Cold North Eleven States of yours, apart from the Absolute Blade, the Jade Flute Guest, and the Longevity Sword, I’m afraid no one else could possibly defeat me.”
On the grandmaster level, it is easy to win but hard to kill.
If no one had blocked Chen Mu’s retreat, Yu Shouxuan wouldn’t have been sure he could stop Chen Mu. But now, with Chen Mu’s youth and carelessness, his path blocked, and as long as Yu could slightly hinder him, Chen Mu would have no chance to escape from under his sword!
Hiss!
Almost in the very next moment.
A cold light flashed in Yu Shouxuan’s eyes, and he burst into action.
Having decided to take Chen Mu’s life, he naturally did not hold back, and his full-powered strike was filled with a murderous aura. The fierce and chilling Taiyin True Qi was concentrated on the delicate, soft edge of his sword and thrust toward Chen Mu.
Liu Wanzheng, Tan Jingguang, and the others could clearly see the true extent of Yu Shouxuan’s power. Such a sword strike previously had almost inflicted heavy damage on an Eighth Rank serpent, even the top three of the Wind Cloud List could not withstand it!
The Taiyin Sword,
Yu Shouxuan!
One of the top grandmasters in the world, ranked thirty-first!
However, facing the sword thrust by Yu Shouxuan, which contained chilling True Qi and a sharp, fierce edge, Chen Mu’s movements were extraordinarily casual. He didn’t even draw his own Spirit Weapon, simply raising his right hand with his two fingers together.
Clang.
Cutting through the Power of Heaven and Earth all around and splitting the oppressive force of the Earthly Abyss, the beam of sword light, like a slithering snake, landed between Chen Mu’s two fingers, even locking Yu Shouxuan’s Taiyin Sword in his grasp.
The piercing coldness and the sharpness concentrated at a point on the blade of the Taiyin Sword were effortlessly locked between Chen Mu’s two fingers, disintegrating inch by inch until it couldn’t advance any further!
“Yu Shouxuan? Never heard of him,”
Chen Mu said calmly, looking at Yu Shouxuan in front of him. After effortlessly shattering the attack with his Taiyin Sword with his fingers, a magnificent surge of the Power of Heaven and Earth arose, casting a dazzling glow over his two fingers.
As soon as Yu Shouxuan’s sword strike was effortlessly caught between Chen Mu’s two fingers, a storm of shock arose in his heart. In Central Prefecture, he was one of the formidable top-ranked grandmasters, and that sword strike had been delivered with his full force, without any reservation. Even those peerless grandmasters in the top ten of the ranking wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous against his sword strike.
But Chen Mu, not only did he catch it, he did so with such ease!
It was as if a grandmaster faced a junior who had just accomplished Tendon Changing and Bone Tempering, casually capturing the strike with a flick of his fingers. How unimaginable this was for one of the top grandmasters in the world, who, apart from the Blood Exchange Realm, could do such a thing!
This is bad.
The storm in Yu Shouxuan’s heart surged as he felt the terrifying force suddenly burst from Chen Mu’s fingertips. His heart violently twitched, wanting to withdraw his sword and retreat, but it was completely stuck, and he felt Chen Mu’s fingers, like iron, lock his Taiyin Sword in place, immovable as mountains, all his strength unable to pull it an inch backward.
Nevertheless, Yu Shouxuan, being one of the top grandmasters, had survived countless life-and-death crises. In that moment, he made a decisive choice without hesitation, releasing his hand to decisively abandon his Spirit Weapon and planning to rapidly retreat and flee!
But it was too late.
Just then, the True Qi gathered at Chen Mu’s fingertips shone faintly, and his indifferent eyes then pushed forward, passing the Taiyin Sword in reverse towards Yu Shouxuan and exploding forward with a bang.
Propelled by only two fingers, the rebounding Taiyin Sword flew faster and more fiercely than the Exec Moon Bow or the Breaking Star Arrow, two Spirit Weapon bows and arrows. Although there was no perceivable aura above, this situation was even more terrifying; it was the Yuan Gang Inner Strength and force concentrated to a single point and taken to the extreme!

At this moment, Yu Shouxuan had just released his grip and begun to retreat. Facing this blow, he had no chance to dodge and was forced to bring together two antique gray palms with long fingernails in front of his body, concentrating Taiyin True Qi in his palms, trying to catch it.
“Ah!”
A scream was heard.
The rebounding Taiyin Sword, with just a touch of its slender handle, ground right through the Taiyin True Qi concentrated in Yu Shouxuan’s palms. Then it continued into and pierced a huge hole through both palms, with no reduction in momentum, as it crashed into his chest, forcefully stabbing into him, penetrating through his back, splattering blood into the void.
