Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 782 - 431: One Against Seven!_2

If one were to speak of these masters, standing at the pinnacle of the Blood Exchange Realm, whose bodies harmonized with heaven and earth, wielding the Power of Heaven and Earth with each gesture, then Chen Mu’s physique was as solid as mountains, as vast as the Vast Ocean, his very being seemingly an embodiment of the Qiankun!

How could he be so strong?

Incredulity filled the eyes of the Pavilion Master of Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion.

As a master of the Blood Exchange Realm who dominated the world, he had encountered Celestial Humans and even experienced their tactics firsthand; abilities that could shatter his Cycles of Years, destroy the seven Spirit Talismans on his body, and injure him severely. Even a Celestial Human was only so capable!

For someone in the Marrow Cleansing Realm to possess such strength was utterly illogical!

Just as the Pavilion Master of Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion coughed up blood, forcibly gathering his chaotic energies, the converging deadly strikes of the three masters, Purple Bamboo Guest, Chu Changhua, and another, all from the Blood Exchange Realm and perfectly synchronized, sealed off all escape routes and capitalized on the moment Chen Mu faced the Pavilion Master, leaving no room for Chen Mu to dodge.

"Heaven and Earth Blaze."

"Cloud Sea Sunset."

"Diancang Nine Decisions!"

Blazing flames swept in all directions, the Five Elements arising and perishing all feeding the ferocity of the fire.

A section of a purple bamboo staff descended from the Cloud Sea like the setting sun, immensely vast.

Diancang Nine Decisions, Ultimate Unifying Finger, within inches, transforming the mountains and rivers.

The masters of the Blood Exchange Realm were those who had reached the pinnacle of the Body Tempering Martial Arts; even if they couldn’t grasp the third step of Artistic Conception or ascend to the path of Celestial Human, they weren’t widely separated from Celestial Humans, and their cultivated techniques were of astonishing power. Even a true Celestial Human master, facing the attacks of three great Blood Exchange masters, would have to treat it seriously and not dare to be careless.

Chen Mu faced these three deadly strikes yet his expression did not change. After shattering the Pavilion Master’s Cycles of Years with a palm strike, he did not pursue further. At this moment, facing the approaching three of the Blood Exchange Realm, the power of the Qiankun Domain he had not mobilized earlier suddenly wove together, instantly ensnaring heaven and earth and causing the winds and clouds to change colors.

"Heaven and Earth Cycles."

A hum.

The mighty Power of Heaven and Earth surged forth, centering around Chen Mu’s Qiankun body, combining with his Vigorous Inner Breath, transforming into the power of Eight Phases of Heaven and Earth Cycles, causing the incoming three deadly strikes to sink like into a morass, their speed suddenly slowing.

Using the Qiankun Power to slightly delay these three strikes for a moment, Chen Mu’s figure immediately soared upward, leaving only a fading afterimage. He had escaped the lock of the three strikes and appeared tens of meters above in the air.

Hiss!

The attack had not yet ended when suddenly, through a crack in the void, a shaft of Flying Needle appeared abruptly in front of Chen Mu, aiming straight for his brow - it was indeed the Void Flying Needle from the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion!

Simultaneously, a ghostly trace, soft and nearly imperceptible, emerged noiselessly behind Chen Mu, like a lingering shadow lightly landing on Chen Mu’s back, the chilling cold and murderous intent contained within enough to freeze the ocean’s currents within a hundred meters into ice!

Ghostly Nether Absolute Palm!

"I wondered who this seventh person was; it turns out to be the Ghostly Nether Sect Master from Xiang State of Mist Hidden Pavilion. Those royal figures have truly degraded, to ally with such a figure from the demon path."

Chen Mu was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the Void Flying Needle. Although the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion had been concealed to the side, he had been evident in the open; only the seventh person, who had remained hidden until now, had been unclear, but now his identity was undoubtedly revealed.

Another top master of the Blood Exchange Realm, and moreover from an evil sect once wanted by the Imperial Court, especially the Ghostly Nether Sect Master himself, who, in his youth, had cultivated using unorthodox methods, detested by the Martial World, who gradually rose to Grandmaster status, and ultimately reached the summit of Blood Exchange Realm, leaving only his notorious fame in the Martial World, even Chen Mu had heard of him before.

Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion!

Ghostly Nether Sect Master!

Although neither of these two masters was a Celestial Human, they were almost the most skilled existences in covert changes and shadow assassinations of the current era. The two of them collaborating in a kill would strike terror into any master of the Blood Exchange Realm.

At this moment, facing a pincer attack from both the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion and the Master of the Ghostly Nether Sect, Chen Mu’s expression finally changed, but it was not panic—it was a sudden flash of coldness deep within his eyes!

With one palm strike, he crushed the Pavilion Master of Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion. He had not used his full strength.

Facing the combined attack of Chu Changhua and the two others, he was still able to contend against them. The reason he chose to retreat was to lure out the Master of the Blood Hidden Pavilion and the Master of the Ghostly Nether Sect, for these were the first he needed to deal with!

Zi.

Suddenly, Chen Mu reached out with his left hand, two fingers together, and in a flash of lightning, forcefully shattered the void and shook out a Void Flying Needle from the void, trapping it between his fingers!

At the same time, he did not expend his remaining strength but swept his right hand in an arc, evoking the transformation of Qiankun, as if a dragon swinging its tail, to meet the Ghostly Nether Absolute Palm attacking from behind!

Boom!!!

A thunderous roar shattered the void in an instant.

The shadowy figure, which had appeared ghost-like with only a blurred outline, was forcefully driven out of its ghostly state by Chen Mu’s palm strike. The figure, in a black robe with eyes filled with a trace of shock, was indeed the Master of the Ghostly Nether Sect!

Before he could react further, Chen Mu’s palm pressed fiercely backward—a surge of overwhelming Qiankun Gang Strength swept forward, crushing the bone-chilling power of the Ghostly Nether Absolute Palm!

"Pu."

Despite first bearing the brunt of Chen Mu’s strike, then having Chu Changhua and two others restrain Chen Mu’s domain power, followed by the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion’s Void Flying Needle forcing Chen Mu to divide his strength to defend, Chen Mu’s palm still contained an unstoppable colossal force, pressing forward like an awe-inspiring heavenly might.

The Master of the Ghostly Nether Sect spewed blood from his mouth, was flung a hundred yards away, and crashed hard into the distant sea, creating a dent in the sea surface and immediately splashing up waves hundreds of feet high!

It wasn’t that the Master of the Ghostly Nether Sect wasn’t strong enough, but his strengths lay in concealment and ghostly movement techniques, similar to the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion, meaning his physique was a weak point. Despite not being hit with the full brunt of the power, the impact was not much better than that on the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion Master or Xiang Yuan, and even the injuries were more severe!

Seven Blood Exchange Realm masters conspiring to kill Chen Mu might seem like a complex confrontation, but in reality, from the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion Master’s initial strike being crushed by Chen Mu to the Master of the Ghostly Nether Sect being overwhelmed, it all happened in a flash.

At the level of the Blood Exchange Realm, there is often no delay in power accumulation; every move is as fast as the wind and as decisive as thunder.

In just a short exchange of moves.

Xiang Yuan defeated, Mysterious collapsed, and Ghostly Nether wounded… Three out of the seven Blood Exchange experts were successively injured!

And the one who caused such a situation was merely a person of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, a being who had not yet stepped into the Blood Exchange Realm. Such an unbelievable scene unfolded, causing even those like the Dragonwood Island Master, watching from tens of miles away, to feel a surge of shock.

"Blood Concealment Single Finger!"

In this moment of shocked silence, a blood shadow abruptly emerged close to Chen Mu—surprisingly it was the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion!

Seeing how Chen Mu, in his movements, had successively crushed and injured Xiang Yuan, the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion Master, and even controlled the impact of the Void Flying Needle, and as one of the best assassins of the era, though he knew Chen Mu’s physique had been trained to an unimaginably terrifying level, he, instead of retreating, courageously pressed forward to Chen Mu!

No expert of the Blood Exchange Realm was easy to handle, especially a figure like the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion who had extreme control over the battle. His timing was exact, targeting the greatest opening in Chen Mu’s moves when he was fully overpowering the Master of the Ghostly Nether Sect!

Facing the deadly strike of the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion, Chen Mu’s gaze remained unchanged, his left hand trapping the Void Flying Needle, though unable to counterattack, he still let his arm dangle down, using his forearm to block in front of the Blood Hidden Pavilion Master’s finger.

Chi!

To the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion, the finger felt as if it had struck a drum skin so thick it was indescribable. Only after almost exhausting all his strength did he manage to break through Chen Mu’s defense, leaving a bloodstained finger print on Chen Mu’s arm, spreading out like a spider web!

Seeing this, the Master of Blood Hidden Pavilion’s eyes finally flashed with a glint of light.
