Even though Li Mu was smiling, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and now it’s gone with just a word from Chen Xuan!

What?

This was all Li Mu’s scheme!

The Stonemason suddenly became furious and shouted, "Ancestor!", simultaneously retreating rapidly to widen his distance from him.

Li Mu was a master above the Eighth Layer of the Dao Realm, and the Stone Race’s sea of consciousness was inherently weak; with a single stroke of his Spiritual Power, he could explode it.

"Lin’er, run!"

Even at this moment, he did not forget to remind Shi Lin.

"Sigh!"

Li Mu sighed, sometimes even feeling pity for these Stone Race people, as if their brains had evolved incorrectly.

Wasn’t it obvious enough?

Even Chen Xuan could only shake his head helplessly.

"Fool! She’s not Shi Lin!"

The Great Ancestor in midair wished he could strangle him to death—was he really that dense?

"You two hold on; I’m going to kill Li Mu!"

Before the two could reply, his figure flashed and charged at Li Mu.

"Activate the array!"

Faced with the Great Ancestor at the Peak of the Eighth Layer, Li Mu remained composed and casually said, and instantly the royal city started to tremble.

Centered around him, a terrifying aura shot up to the sky, and the Great Ancestor charging at him let out a muffled snort.

The aura on his body was instantly suppressed.

He immediately halted his advance.

"You and I are the same now; I’m at the late stage of the Eighth Layer, and you’re suppressed to the late stage of the Eighth Layer. This is what fairness means!"

Li Mu smiled as he looked at him.

"You’ve actually controlled the city’s array!"

The Great Ancestor’s face turned ashen; the array was the Stone Race’s greatest reliance, always manned by his people—how could it have been infiltrated?

"It’s a bit difficult, but not impossible either."

Li Mu said blandly, then unleashed his Spiritual Power, with thick strands bursting forth exuding a killing intent.

The space around was forced to yield!

Chen Xuan’s expression tightened—was this the Spiritual Power of the late stage of the Eighth Layer?

"Get lost!"

The Great Ancestor shouted furiously, and a burst of Crystal Stone energy blocked the Spiritual Power a foot away from his body.

"Boom, boom..."

Li Mu’s Spiritual Power was blown apart by the Great Ancestor’s repeated punches, but the next moment, another wave of Spiritual Power poured in.

It seemed endless!

Instantaneously, the two were locked in a stalemate.

"Li Mu, even if I’m suppressed, I’m ultimately still at peak strength. I can outlast you if I must!"

As for the ’Shi Lin’ beside him, he didn’t even care about—just a mere Fifth Layer Dao Realm level.

Still, he ordered, "Stonemason, go kill her!"

"Yes!"

No matter how dull he was, he had reacted by now.

He struck towards ’Shi Lin’ with a palm!

However... "Peak of Seventh Layer, huh?"

Chen Xuan looked calmly at the Stonemason advancing on him with anger.

A jade-colored radiance slowly appeared around him.

"Boom!"

The Stonemason’s punch landed squarely on Chen Xuan’s chest.

But... he didn’t budge an inch; his brow didn’t even furrow.

"What!?"

The Stonemason exclaimed in shock, completely stupefied. He landed a solid punch, but it caused no damage at all. This...

"Run!"

The only thought in his mind now was this one.

The next moment, his figure retreated rapidly.

"Run?"

Chen Xuan’s expression was contemptuous, and his figure disappeared, reappearing directly behind the Stonemason. "Can you run?"

To the Stonemason, Chen Xuan’s calm voice was a death sentence.

He transformed his hand into a claw!

Directly piercing through the Stonemason’s chest.

"You..."

The Stonemason looked down, seeing a hand grabbing his Crystal Stone, all happening in the blink of an eye—he didn’t even have time to react.

"Off you go!"

Chen Xuan gave a slight push; the Stonemason’s body slowly fell, facing upwards, eyes bulging.

Even in death, he couldn’t comprehend why he died so easily. He was the Stone Race’s king, only beneath the three ancestors.

"Stonemason!"

The Third Ancestor roared, watching helplessly as the Stonemason died just like that.

"Who are you?"

He shouted angrily; if not for being restrained by the Holy Land, he would have torn the ’Shi Lin’ before him to pieces.

To think their Stone Race’s strongest king died so easily.

Even Li Mu was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to be so strong.

The Stonemason at the Peak of the Seventh Layer Dao Realm couldn’t withstand a single punch from him.

"Not bad!"

Chen Xuan completely ignored the Third Ancestor, feeling very satisfied with his strength after the transformation, thinking he could now contend with a Peak of the Eighth Layer.

But this place was a land of trouble.

It was best not to linger!

"Boy, you’d better not have other thoughts. If you dare to run, I’ll immediately withdraw!"

"Compared to me, you’re in much greater danger."

Li Mu had been watching him all along. How could his little schemes escape Li Mu’s notice?

"Senior, this situation is too high-level; I’m a bit scared!"

Li Mu shook his head, finding the boy incredibly shameless.

Even at this juncture, he dared to consider running away.

He withdrew all his Spiritual Power and stood there, "He is the most outstanding of the Human Race’s generation. Didn’t you see? He’s a greater threat than I am."

"Why not kill him first, and then we can resolve our own matters, how about that?"

Uh—

Chen Xuan was dumbfounded; he just had a thought, and this old guy just disengaged, leaving the Great Ancestor to deal with him first.

"If he wants to kill? You must die too!"

"Forget the Holy Land; today, all of you shall be killed, all of you!"

He was already completely consumed by anger.

A dog, beaten into fleeing by the Human Race, now dared to bite back—damned creature.

And that man too!

His gaze turned towards ’Shi Lin’!

The most outstanding of the Human Race’s young generation? Then let him fall to the Stone Race.

"Big brother!"
