Chapter 399: Chapter 153: Dimensional Strike! Merciful Su Tailai!_1

With the slight hindrance of Vine Wood Escape, Mu Xun’s body flew backwards, retreating a considerable distance and avoiding the strike. Seeing the huge crater formed where he had been standing, the corner of his eye twitched with horror in his heart!

“Is this… an Innate Level attack? Is this kid an Innate Martial Artist?” Mu Xun broke into cold sweat. If he had been hit directly, he would have undoubtedly been smashed into meat paste on the spot. His heart was filled with extreme terror.

Mu Xun, among the Mu Family’s disciples, was considered neither good nor bad. When he was young, his Cultivation progress was not slow, but even within the Mu Family, the amount of Innate Qi was limited. Only those who performed the best in fierce competition were qualified to obtain Innate Qi.

However, Mu Xun failed in the competition and didn’t obtain the coveted Innate Qi. Moreover, as he grew older, it was even less likely for the Mu Family to grant him Innate Qi, thus stalling his Martial Arts journey and making it impossible for him to ever reach the Innate realm.

Even so, having reached the peak of the Qi-Blood Realm and coupled with his noble lineage’s special bloodline, he could easily sweep away all martial artists below the Innate level!

But the power the young man unleashed, whether it was a Martial Arts technique or a bloodline Divine Skill, was definitely at the Innate Level. To daringly take it head-on, one would either die or be crippled!

“But this kid seems very weak… Kill him!”

On Mu Xun’s aged face was a fierce expression. He could feel that Su Changkong standing there was genuinely weak, not feigning it, so he opted for offense as defense!

“Die!”

Mu Xun’s face twisted fiercely, he stomped his foot on the ground, veins protruding on the skin, all turning into a ghastly green color, as power from his bloodline surged forth.

“Hiss hiss hiss!”

Beneath Su Changkong’s feet, vines bristling with thorns crazily sprouted, coiling and attempting to strangle him.

The Mu Family’s unique bloodline seemed related to the wood attribute, and their Divine Skills were associated with it too. Su Changkong had previously seen Mu Jin demonstrating this.

Mu Xun’s strategy was admittedly correct. Su Changkong’s Form Transformation relied on nature’s spiritual energy. Although he was physically weak, he had long been prepared.

“Screech!”

The Giant Ape, shifting from offense to defense, contorted and transformed into a crane with a red crest and white feathers. With a wingspan of nearly forty feet, its wings beat at a speed beyond what the naked eye could capture. Instantly appearing behind Su Changkong, its claws grabbed his shoulders, whisking him away with a swift flight.

Where Su Changkong stood, those vines only managed to shred his afterimage, without touching a hair on him!

The Five Animal Frolics, with the Five Animal Form Transformation, were marvelously mystical. Even though Su Changkong was in poor physical condition, his actual combat strength was far greater than during his peak period!

“What kind of technique is this?”

Mu Xun, watching as the crane illusion carried Su Changkong away, easily neutralizing his killing move, was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend this unimaginable martial skill.

The crane illusion, after flinging Su Changkong away, landed him gently on the soft snowy ground, while it itself flew above Mu Xun’s head. Spiritual energy twisted, and its form changed again into a Giant Ape Illusion, muscles bulging with a palm’s height and pale golden fur; its massive foot came crashing down!

“This is bad! Divine Wood Palm, Ten Thousand Woods Resurgence!”

Mu Xun’s scalp tingled. Gritting his teeth, and with a roar, he combined True Qi with his bloodline’s power. He lashed out with a palm towards the Giant Ape Illusion’s descending foot. Along with the strike, a multitude of thick vines, sharp as spearheads, shot up from the ground, aiming at the Giant Ape Illusion from all sides.

“Puff puff puff!”

Vines pierced the Giant Ape Illusion’s body, but it was all in vain. This illusion of the Giant Ape was nothing more than the manifestation of Su Changkong’s intent and the drawing of nature’s spiritual energy through human essence. It wasn’t a body of flesh and blood, and such attacks were useless against it.

“Crack crack crack!”

At the same time, the Giant Ape’s massive foot stomped down. Mu Xun groaned, feeling an invincible great force crushing down on him, forcing his knees to buckle involuntarily, leaving him kneeling on the ground. His right palm, and the arm with it, shattered, blood and bone fragments splattering. The tremendous force pulverized his bones, with blood spouting from his mouth.

When the Giant Ape lifted its foot, Mu Xun lay collapsed within a vast crater, blood spraying continuously from his mouth, an arm shattered, a sight of grievous injuries.

In reality, Su Changkong held back, or that strike would have been enough to kill Mu Xun on the spot!

The Five Animal Frolics at level 10 allowed for the free transformation of tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird, a world of difference from the level 9 Five Animal Frolics.

Be it Mu Jin or Mu Xun, formidable masters sweeping aside other martial artists within Dafeng State City, they were easily incapacitated and left powerless before Su Changkong’s Five Animal Frolics, a dire sight indeed.

Mu Jin and Mu Xun, despite their special bloodlines, were in fact only at the Qi-Blood Realm. Su Changkong, who had begun harnessing nature’s spiritual energy, was on a different level. Defeating them was like an adult picking on a child, no difficulty at all!

“How could such a monstrous talent… lurk in a remote Dafeng State City?”

The horror in Mu Xun’s heart was indescribable. A monster, a fearsome monster indeed, the identity of this mysterious, disguised person remained unknown, but in reality, he was but a young man in his twenties. Within the millennium-old Mu Family, only the most monstrous few, with the richest bloodlines, could rival him!
