Everyone was curious, wondering who possessed such power that their sword energy could carve such a deep and long trench in the bamboo forest path of Xiaozhu Peak.
Lin Caogen was also startled! If that sword energy had struck him, he would probably be dead already! With his current physical strength, he was not able to withstand such a powerful attack.
Zhong Kui said coldly, "So it's Junior Sister Mu. What do you intend to do?"
Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized the newcomer as Mu Wanqing.
At this moment, Mu Wanqing was still dressed in a blue veil and wearing a veil over her face.
Zhong Kui felt that Mu Wanqing's aura had suddenly increased today. The fluctuations of Yuan Qi released by her body told everyone that Mu Wanqing had broken through her cultivation and was now at the fourth level of the Core Formation stage.
The graceful woman slowly said, "Senior Brother Zhong, are you starting to bully the weak now? From now on, in the Wuwu Sect, I will protect Lin Caogen! If Senior Brother Zhong is not convinced, please sign a life-or-death contract now, and we will go to the dueling arena to compete for supremacy!"
Zhong Kui was stunned! He roared, "Mu Wanqing, what's wrong with you? What does my beating up Lin Caogen have to do with you!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing fell silent. She simply swung her sword and slashed at Zhong Kui's forehead again!
A thirty-meter-long sword aura, carrying terrifying force, pressed down directly on Zhong Kui's head! If Zhong Kui were to dodge, the dozens of disciples behind him would surely die!
Zhong Kui never expected Mu Wanqing to act so domineeringly, completely disregarding the lives of the other disciples when she made her move. Zhong Kui recognized this move as the Azure Sky Cloud-Piercing Slash, a divine technique from Cold Moon Peak.
This immortal technique has only one move, and it is a high-level Earth-rank technique. To unleash this technique, one must gather most of their vital energy.
Mu Wanqing is determined to settle the score with Zhong Kui right here with one move!
The disciples of Dazhu Peak were utterly terrified. The pressure of death instantly enveloped each and every one of them.
Zhong Kui had no choice but to take the attack head-on. He not only had to withstand the attack, but also protect his junior brothers behind him. If his brothers were killed by Mu Wanqing today, he would be implicated! He had heard that Mu Wanqing was powerful and influential, and even the sect leader dared not offend her. He could only blame his bad luck for getting involved in this mess with Niu Gao.
Despite his anger, Zhong Kui still used the Xuanhuang Defense Technique!
This Xuanhuang Defense Technique is also a high-level Earth-rank immortal technique. Once it was used, it drained Zhong Kui's entire immortal essence.
A yellow, arc-shaped shield appeared in front of Zhong Kui! This shield had a radius of ten meters and a thickness of 0.5 meters, completely protecting the disciples behind him.
There was a loud crack!
Mu Wanqing's Azure Sky Breaking Cloud Slash cleaved the yellow shield into pieces. Although the sword energy was greatly reduced, a small portion still struck Zhong Kui's chest!
Zhong Kui and dozens of his disciples were cleaved away by the remaining sword energy. Zhong Kui coughed up three mouthfuls of blood, and the other disciples suffered broken bones and coughed up blood as well.
Zhong Kui never expected that Mu Wanqing's sword strike would be so powerful after she broke through to the fourth level of the Core Formation Realm.
He spat out another mouthful of blood and roared, "Mu Wanqing! Do you intend to become an enemy of my Great Bamboo Peak?"
"So noisy!"
Mu Wanqing was particularly annoyed by Zhong Kui's constant talking, so she directly drew her sword and unleashed another Azure Sky Breaking Cloud Slash at Zhong Kui and the others!
Zhong Kui did not expect Mu Wanqing to be so ruthless, showing no regard for the bond between fellow disciples.
At that moment, he sensed death approaching and broke out in a cold sweat.
Having already been injured, how could he possibly withstand Mu Wanqing's second move, Azure Sky Breaking Cloud Slash?
All the disciples of Dazhu Peak were terrified. They never expected Mu Wanqing to be so ruthless and merciless. The first sword strike had injured everyone. The second strike would leave even Senior Brother Zhong Kui vulnerable! All the disciples, including Niu Gao, were filled with dread. Death had never been so close to them before.
At this critical moment.
Just as Mu Wanqing's Azure Sky Breaking Cloud Slash was about to kill Zhong Kui and the others, it was suddenly blocked by a similarly yellow shield.
The power of the Azure Sky Cloud-Piercing Slash was not as strong as before; when it encountered the yellow shield, it only produced an astonishing vibration.
The surrounding vegetation was then scattered by the shockwave.
Mu Wanqing focused her gaze and saw that it was Elder Niu Chongtian from Dazhu Peak who had come to block her attack.
"Elder Niu, you are shameless and disrespectful to your elders! How dare you interfere in the martial arts competition between us juniors! Have you lost your face?"
Mu Wanqing spoke very harshly, launching into a soul-searching interrogation of Niu Chongtian.
Niu Chongtian roared, "Mu Wanqing, if I had arrived a moment later, my son Niu Gao and the disciples of Dazhu Peak would all be dead under your sword right now!"
Mu Wanqing sneered: "So what? Your son was inferior in skill and was injured by the aftershock of my sword energy. He deserved it! Elder Niu wants his entire family wiped out, doesn't he?! If you're not satisfied, you can make another move!"
Niu Chongtian roared, "Mu Wanqing, I think you've gone too far! Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
After saying that, Niu Chongtian formed a hand seal and pushed a Prajna Palm towards Mu Wanqing.
Niu Chongtian was also enraged by the scolding from Mu Wanqing, a junior. This Prajna Palm was enough to injure Mu Wanqing, who was at the fourth level of the Core Formation stage. Moreover, Mu Wanqing's previous two Azure Sky Cloud-Piercing Slashes had already drained all of his immortal energy.
Just as the Prajna Palm transformed into a giant handprint and crashed towards Mu Wanqing's chest, a leaf suddenly flew out and passed directly through the materialized Prajna Palm print.
The earthen-yellow Prajna palm print vanished in an instant, and then the green leaf pierced Niu Chongtian's shoulder, severing his shoulder blade.
Niu Chongtian screamed in agony as blood streamed down his shoulder. The green leaf, after piercing through Niu Chongtian's shoulder blade, continued flying out and embedded itself directly in Niu Gao's thigh behind him.
Niu Gao felt a sharp pain in his thigh and looked in disbelief at his hairy thigh. At that moment, there was a bloody green leaf on his thigh, which was inserted five centimeters deep.
