Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 990 - 496: One Hand Subdues the Heavenly Demon_2

However, since Chen Mu has already focused his attention on the desert and noted the situation of the demonic qi invasion, they indeed no longer need to concern themselves further. The most important thing now is to quickly return to Yunlu Pass because, apart from Chen Yue, almost everyone else is injured.

At this moment, Wen Yuan also looked pale. Although he hadn’t suffered material damage, he was the closest to the demonic qi and the Heavenly Demon earlier, so the impact on his soul heart was not light.

He exchanged glances with Kang Naiwu, Liang Xiao, and the others, and couldn’t help but see a hint of bitter smile in their eyes. This desert patrol was truly fraught with calamity and upheaval. Yet fortunately, no one lost their lives, and the anomaly in the desert had caught Chen Mu’s attention. The subsequent matters would be handled by Chen Mu, the Supreme Martial Saint.

"Let’s go."

Xiahou Yan coughed again, spitting out some blood, then looked at Kang Naiwu and the others and spoke in a deep voice.

At this moment, the group set off together, swiftly heading back towards Yunlu Pass.

The area they were in was not very far from Yunlu Pass, less than a hundred miles away. Despite Xiahou Yan and others being injured, they were all martial artists of the Six Viscera Realm. After suppressing their injuries, they did their best to travel and soon arrived before Yunlu Pass.

At this moment.

Above Yunlu Pass, a figure stood tall. Although dressed in a long robe and of a slender build, not particularly tall, standing atop the pass he seemed to connect the heavens, exuding an overwhelming grandiosity that filled the heart.

This figure was none other than Chen Mu!

He was far away in the Seven Profound Sect, and after entering the Half-Step Divine Realm, his soul heart merged with the heavens and earth. Upon sensing the situation in the desert, he immediately intervened from afar, setting off from the Seven Profound Sect to rush towards Yunlu Pass.

Although the distance from the Seven Profound Sect to Yunlu Pass was far, his speed was now unparalleled, even faster than Xiahou Yan and the others, arriving earlier at Yunlu Pass.

At this moment on Yunlu Pass.

Several Commanders-in-chief and Squadron Leaders were standing respectfully behind Chen Mu, their heads lowered. Some border city guards of Yunlu Pass were even cautiously and curiously observing Chen Mu.

Upon Chen Mu’s arrival at Yunlu Pass, he was instantly recognized by a Commander-in-chief who had fought alongside him against a demonic catastrophe many years ago, exclaiming in astonishment, followed by shock.

Da Xuan’s Martial Saint Chen Mu!

Now was not like many years ago when Chen Mu supported Yunlu Pass against the demon disaster. Today, Chen Mu has become a legendary figure throughout the world and remains a legend at Yunlu Pass!

Many of the old city guards who had witnessed Chen Mu’s prowess and fought alongside him at the time proudly recount those experiences during drinks, discussing the events from when the young Chen Mu defended the pass.

"Brother."

From afar, Chen Yue saw Chen Mu on Yunlu Pass.

Xiahou Yan and the others also saw Chen Mu. Kang Naiwu, Liang Xiao, and the others showed a few expressions of respect, while Xiahou Yan gazed at that figure with a few sighs.

The five were still several thousand zhang away from Yunlu Pass.

At this moment.

Chen Mu’s gaze was initially cast deep into the desert, his eyes profound as if observing something. Suddenly, he shifted his gaze, looking towards Xiahou Yan and the others, then suddenly raised his hand and made a virtual gesture.

Xiahou Yan and the others, who were running toward Yunlu Pass, suddenly felt a daze in their minds, their vision momentarily blurred, as if in an instant, the heavens and earth changed, and everything shifted.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves standing atop the walls of Yunlu Pass!

Kang Naiwu and the others couldn’t even clarify how they had suddenly traversed several thousand zhang and appeared on the walls. Such god-like means left them all internally stunned.

The only one not too shocked was Chen Yue. As Chen Mu’s sister, she had long experienced Chen Mu’s supreme powers multiple times and quickly recovered, calling out to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu nodded slightly towards her, then turned his gaze to Xiahou Yan and the others, lifting his right hand to point remotely several times.

Swish! Swish! Swish!!

Several threads of invisible qi force spread out, instantly piercing through the bodies of Xiahou Yan and the others.

"Puff."

Xiahou Yan’s face was already somewhat pale, with bloodstains still lingering at the corners of his mouth and on his body. At this moment, Chen Mu’s Finger Force suddenly pierced through his body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Meanwhile, Kang Naiwu, Liang Xiao and others shared the same plight, their faces abruptly turning pale as each spat out a mouthful of blood with a shout.

At the city pass.

The many commander-in-chief and city guard of Yunlu Pass, standing behind them, were visibly shocked upon witnessing this scene. Unsure of what was happening, they saw Xiahou Yan, Kang Naiwu, Liang Xiao, and Wen Yuan, after spitting out their mouthfuls of blood, black glows quietly seeping from their mouths and noses!

As these black glows appeared, they emitted an terrifying aura that stung the mind. Looking at them, it was akin to gazing into an abyss, giving an extreme fear as if one’s soul was being drawn into it!

Pahtz.

But just then, the black glows were drawn into Chen Mu’s open hand with a casual gesture from afar, and with a simple pinch, all the glows crumbled away, dissipating into tiny dots of light and vanishing.

Witnessing this, the only person not penetrated by Chen Mu’s Finger Force, Chen Yue, showed a hint of horror in her eyes. Undoubtedly, these black glows were remnants left by the Heavenly Demon, yet she had no idea when Xiahou Yan and the others had been affected!

Even Kang Naiwu and others, after spitting out blood and having the dormant black glows forcefully expelled from their bodies, each displayed a look of shock, equally clueless about when they were affected. Perhaps it was when the Heavenly Demon exposed its Qi, or when Chen Mu made his move to seize it, totally unaware throughout the process.

The means of the Heavenly Demon are terrifying!

Had it not been for Chen Mu to see through it with one glance and intervene to dispel it, the consequences might have been unimaginable.

The only person not assailed by the Heavenly Demon’s means, Chen Yue, likely relied on some treasures gifted by Chen Mu to escape unscathed.

"Cough, cough..."

Xiahou Yan was already severely injured, merely suppressing his wounds forcibly. When Chen Mu’s Finger Force expelled the remnants of the Heavenly Demon, his internal Qi instantly collapsed, his Five Viscera and Six Viscera seemed to shatter gradually.

But at this moment, after squeezing the black glow to nothingness, Chen Mu waved his sleeve again, a breeze instantly swept across everyone, especially enveloping Xiahou Yan.

Within this breeze, there was a stroke of vibrant green light, seemingly drawn from the forces of the earth, forcibly infused into Xiahou Yan’s body. In just a breath, it stabilized his injuries, followed by a few more breaths, causing his injuries to rapidly improve, his face recovering its color from paper-white to rosy.

"All done."

Chen Mu watched as the Qi of Xiahou Yan and others stabilized, then lowered his sleeve and nodded slightly at them, saying, "Brother Xiahou, I’ve dispelled the remnants of the Heavenly Demon’s means for you, go back and recuperate, I’m aware of the turmoil in the desert, I’ll handle it here."

"Alright... I’ll leave it to you then."

Xiahou Yan’s complexion had much improved. While nodding at Chen Mu, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration.

Years ago, Chen Mu was immensely talented but just emerging, still needing growth. Later, during the battles in the Ice State, he became unreachable, and now stands at the pinnacle of the world. Even with the great upheaval in the desert, Chen Mu’s mere arrival offers an unexplainable sense of assurance.

It’s as if the events of the world cannot cause any disturbance beneath his hands.

"Yue’er, you should return to the sect as well. This training has benefited you greatly, and you’ve experienced a Heart Gate trial. Seclude for two to three years, and you can attempt to breakthrough to the Mysterious Pass."

Chen Mu turned his gaze to Chen Yue.

"Hmm..."

Chen Yue nodded, then cautiously asked, "Did some major upheaval occur in the desert? Do be careful."

Despite Chen Mu now being the Supreme, Invincible Martial Saint, she couldn’t help but voice her concern.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu smiled calmly and said, "There have been some upheavals, but they are simply demons and ghosts."

With that said.

He directed his gaze once more toward the depths of the sand sea, showing a trace of profound glow, and took a step forward, instantly vanishing from Yunlu City Pass.

Everyone at Yunlu Pass felt an overwhelming Qi as if slicing through heaven and earth, crashing into the boundless Sand Sea!
