Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 635 - 372 Repelling Yuwen Hao_2

Chapter 635: Chapter 372 Repelling Yuwen Hao_2

Yet his expression remained exceptionally grave.

“Chen Mu…”

He directed his gaze toward the darkness behind him.

Indeed, in times of chaos, demons are born, and even a monster like Chen Mu has silently emerged, capable of battling in the Marrow Cleansing Realm against those in the Blood Exchange Realm—such a thing has never been heard of before, not even the Qiankun Grandmasters of earlier years could achieve this extent.

Their Sky Demon Sect had lain dormant for hundreds of years, hiding and cultivating in secret in the bitterly cold lands of the Border Pass, finally waiting for this chaotic era where they could dominate an entire state. Yet unexpectedly, a character like Chen Mu had appeared. If in a few decades he were to reach the Blood Exchange Realm and become a figure like the founding Martial Emperor of Da Xuan, their Sky Demon Sect would likely be completely swept out beyond the borders!

Even more so,

...

with the repeatedly occurring enmity between Chen Mu and the Sky Demon Sect, even if they fled beyond the Border Pass, they would not necessarily be able to live in peace!

This event simply could not be allowed to happen!

A chilly light flashed in Yuwen Hao’s eyes, although with his current strength, he could scarcely defeat Chen Mu, fortunately, Chen Mu’s power was only comparable to his own and had not yet grown to a truly untouchable state, nor had he reached the Blood Exchange Realm!

As long as Chen Mu had not yet reached the pinnacle of power to challenge the world, there was still a chance to nip him in the bud, but they would need well-thought-out long-term plans and to discuss strategies with people like the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the leaders of foreign races beyond the borders.

He was not the only one who did not wish to see Chen Mu rise abruptly, becoming the second Qiankun Martial Saint.

At this moment, Yuwen Hao even felt a sense of relief, relieved that at this juncture, he had come to recognize Chen Mu’s true strength, realizing how formidable Chen Mu was, with still a chance to extinguish him. If it were delayed by another ten years, it might truly become unmanageable, unstoppable by anyone!

“…”

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Yuwen Hao took a deep breath, intending to leave.

But

almost at that moment, his pupils suddenly shrank a fraction.

He sensed a ripple quietly oscillating through the nearby void, a surge of the robust Strength of Qian Heaven rolling in as a figure abruptly appeared, a slender, delicate hand gently pressing towards his heart.

Yuwen Hao had been pondering over Chen Mu, and was thus distracted. Faced with this sudden strike, he could not muster a proper counter in haste and had to turn his body sideways, crossing his arms in front of him in an attempt to parry.

Boom!!!

Unable to react further in time, the palm hit him squarely. Although he managed to block with his arms and call upon demonic power, it was a hurried defense, and he immediately suffered a significant blow. With a muffled grunt, he felt an impact spreading through him, staggering several steps backward.

An internal injury he had sustained from Chen Mu, which had been close to healing, was now aggravated again. Unable to contain it, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes glaring hatefully at the figure who had appeared before him.

“Qin Mengjun!”

The assailant, shrouded in flowing, light garments, with an exceptionally beautiful face, was none other than Qin Mengjun, the new Blood Exchange Realm Supreme of the Seven Profound Sect. Her demeanor was mild, but her attack was ruthless. After landing the first blow, she delicately stepped forward, lifting her slender hand again, pressing down with another palm. This time even a small seal on her chest fluttered up, gathering the Strength of Qian Heaven.

“Did you just… mention the name of my disciple?”

Qin Mengjun struck swiftly, one move after another without respite, yet at the same time, she casually posed the question.

“Hmph.”

Yuwen Hao snorted coldly. Despite being wounded and facing consecutive deadly moves from Qin Mengjun, he was not flustered. He had revealed flaws because he had been preoccupied with Chen Mu and his own injury, which gave Qin Mengjun the opportunity to strike suddenly. However, now that he had regained his composure, even injured, he was not intimidated by a newly-advanced Blood Exchange Supreme like Qin Mengjun.

Nevertheless, he did not wish to engage Qin Mengjun in battle. His hands waved continuously, stirring up billowing gray Demon Qi to obscure all directions. After forcibly parrying a Heaven Cap Seal from Qin Mengjun, he took advantage of the momentum to flee far away, transforming into a shadowy gray figure that darted into the distance.

Whoosh!

Qin Mengjun waved her sleeve, dispelling the spreading gray Demon Qi, then looked towards the escaping figure of Yuwen Hao. She did not pursue but appeared thoughtful.

After all, Yuwen Hao was a Heavenly Demon, and even though she had now reached the Blood Exchange Realm, her strength was quite on par with his.

In fact, not long after she had first advanced to the Blood Exchange Realm and traveled about, she had encountered and exchanged a few moves with Yuwen Hao, aware that there was not much difference in their respective strengths. After a brief exchange, Yuwen Hao had quickly fled.

“Chen Mu…”

Qin Mengjun had been close by, sensing the fluctuations of Yuwen Hao’s Demon Qi and had stealthily approached after concealing her own aura, noticing that Yuwen Hao seemed to be injured, and made a split-second decision to unleash a strike. Even though they were almost equal in strength and her move was effective, causing injury to Yuwen Hao, it was still far from enough to subdue him.

Especially in the Earthly Abyss, she was somewhat restricted, and her speed was not as fast as Yuwen Hao’s.

It was only that she overheard Yuwen Hao seemingly mentioning ‘Chen Mu’s’ name – could it be that the injury he wore was inflicted by Chen Mu? It certainly was a possibility. However, Chen Mu, having engaged in combat with Yuwen Hao, would not be able to keep his strength hidden any longer.

With this thought,

Qin Mengjun couldn’t help but turn her gaze in the direction from which Yuwen Hao had come, her eyes flickering with a trace of faint light.

Everything Chen Mu had done in the past was right; when weak, he used various means to conceal himself. But after all, he was on the Qiankun Path, on a journey to reach the peak of power. Without experiencing changes and tumult, one cannot transform into a dragon. There is no one in the world who can quietly achieve the Blood Exchange Realm without anyone knowing. Whoever reaches that realm does so through all sorts of trials, eventual enlightenment about life and death.
