Time passed by the minute.
With a clear mind, Su Mu’s terrifying comprehension of one hundred and fifty points came into play again. The whole person seemed to merge with the chaotic Wang Family, then his mind expanded to cover the entire Qi Feng Town.
In the town, there were not only fires soaring into the sky and the chaotic Wang Family, but also the awakened people applauding with joy, those fearing repercussions from Wang Family’s actions, and others who were indifferent to the situation. People held different thoughts and were diverse.
Using the town as a scroll, Su Mu vaguely saw a character in the night, the crescent moon and three stars.
Crescent moon and three stars symbolize the heart!
"Boom——"
At this moment, seventy-nine strands of Vast Qi within Su Mu surged, releasing outside, transforming into a bright mirror reflecting countless images of Su Mu before forming a profound character.
It was at this moment that the members of the Wang Family and the townsfolk of Qi Feng Town looked up and saw a scene they would never forget.
From the sky over the town suddenly descended a hundred feet of scarlet glow like a blood silk spreading out, with ancient seal patterns faintly visible amid the surging cloud sea.
The mountains and rivers of Cangshan County simultaneously trembled, the water of Canglan River surged like a pen stroke, vaguely forming a grand river in the shape of the character ’Heart’.
At this moment, the blade soldiers of the martial artists in Cangshan County wailed inexplicably, all pointing their red tassels towards the Wang Family’s location.
Outside Cangshan, the ancient texts of Qingzhou Academy trembled continuously. Among them, hundreds of ancient texts related to ’Nurturing Vast Qi’ floated in the air, flipping their pages, revealing again and again the character ’Heart’.
In a candlelit study room within the inner mansion, a girl about nine years old watched the ancient texts escape her hands, exclaimed in surprise.
"Mr. Liu, what has happened?"
With a jade-like face, Mr. Liu glanced at the floating ancient texts in the air before gazing out into the night with surprise.
"Someone within Qingzhou is condensing their Life Character... this character is extraordinary!"
The perceptive young girl was stunned by his words. It was the first time she felt such intense emotional fluctuation from Mr. Liu, who she usually viewed as calm and collected.
"But it’s a pity..."
"A pity?"
The girl instinctively asked, but Mr. Liu stared deeply into the night without explaining any further.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying and a few others who had just turned direction and hurried to the Wang Family also saw the scene. Wang Qi looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky above the town, feeling the mournful spirit of the blade soldiers at his waist, screamed in shock.
"What, what is that?"
Zhou Ying’s mind also trembled; he couldn’t discern what it was either. Just as everyone was shaken to the core, the phenomenon covering the whole town abruptly ceased.
"Disappeared, disappeared?!"
Within the Prince’s Mansion, the strange phenomenon was drawn into the Cyan Flame Grand Bell containing a figure.
At this moment, Su Mu’s body trembled violently.
Everything since his crossing appeared before Su Mu, the battles, near-death experiences, falling into the depths, and the rebirth through Fire Sparrow Blood.
Silhouettes of Zhou Mountain, Uncle Li, Xiaohu, Uncle Wu, the three masters, Yan Xiaolan, and others also appeared before Su Mu’s eyes.
From Zhou Mountain, Uncle Li, and the three masters, Su Mu saw a righteous and peaceful white ’Heart’ character.
As the scene shifted.
Figures of Sun Li, Gongsun Li, Wang Xuantian, and others emerged.
"If I am a demon... you are a monster, you and I are indeed fellow travelers!"
Wang Xuantian’s words echoed once more in Su Mu’s ears. Su Mu saw the clear, demonic black ’Heart’ character.
The two ’Heart’ characters intertwined, merged, and clashed, filling with contrasting emotions like slaughter, rage, protection, and kindness until they gradually reached a temporary stability.
Seventy-nine strands of pure Vast Qi in Su Mu’s Dantian poured out, and then a glass-like ’Heart’ character slowly emerged on his chest, though only one spot glowed, the rest remained dim and inconspicuous.
At this moment, the Gu Insect beneath Su Mu’s chest quivered, showing extreme dread towards the glass ’Heart’ on his chest.
The Jade Pendant also trembled, with the figure inside displaying a complex expression while watching it all, eyes deep and turbulent, contemplating something.
"Not yet having reached Middle Third Grade in Confucian Family, but already peeking into his Life Character, even the Literary Courage appears... this boy’s talent in the Confucian Dao surpasses that in the Martial Dao."
"Confucian Dao... Martial Dao..."
The figure in the Jade Pendant frowned slightly, alarming himself with the first discovery he couldn’t see through Su Mu. This unknown aspect of Su Mu gave rise to a touch of unease.
At this moment, five figures swiftly charged into the Wang Family. Seeing these figures, the Wang Family members seemed to find their backbone, collectively showing great joy.
"Tributor Zhou, the patriarch and several elders have returned!"
"Patriarch, this is the person who attacked our Wang Family at night, quickly dispatch him!"
A person from Wang Family immediately spoke. Previously, Su Mu’s influence on the phenomena was horrifying, and now he hadn’t awakened, clearly still in some mysterious realm, making this the perfect moment to dispatch him.
The Wang Family elders naturally noted Su Mu’s current state, Wang Qi instantly gave a signal to someone beside him. Immediately, a plump Wang Family elder erupted in rage, shouting fiercely.
"You dare to slaughter people of my Wang Family, tonight you shall be buried here!"
The Wang Family elder’s Qi Blood surged, smoke of Qi Blood rising high. He smelled the danger from the two-zhang-high Cyan Flame Grand Bell and dared not be careless, igniting his Qi Blood directly.
With Qi Blood ignited, the Wang Family elder’s black hair flew wildly, his momentum continued to rise, stirring the air into gusts of wind, forcing ordinary Wang Family disciples to retreat several steps, then they channeled their Power to stabilize themselves.
"Such strength, this is the power of the Sixth Grade!"
"Elder Qi ignited his Qi Blood for this strike, that guy is doomed!"
The Seventh Elder of the Wang Family fiercely drew his saber, the saber light slashed through the sky, and the surging Qi Blood and Power transformed into a dazzling saber light, even half a zhang away, it made everyone’s skin tingle painfully.
Mad Demon Saber Technique!
The dazzling saber light mercilessly struck towards the neck of the figure inside the Cyan Flame Grand Bell, just as the saber light fell upon the Cyan Flame Grand Bell.
Dong!
A majestic bell sound reverberated through the Wang Family Inner Mansion, and suddenly, an unparalleled violent energy shattered the saber light.
Crack!
The long saber infused with power and Qi Blood instantly shattered into countless fragments, the saber fragments erupted like pear blossoms in a storm, and the violent energy instead rebounded fiercely.
"Oh no!"
The Seventh Elder of the Wang Family instantly wanted to retreat, but it was too late, his fat body only managed a scream, his saber-wielding right arm exploded directly, then his whole body became a bloody mess, the ignited Qi Blood extinguished instantly, and he was killed on the spot by the Cyan Flame Grand Bell.
The countless saber blade fragments shot out fiercely, causing Zhou Ying, Wang Qi, and several Sixth-Grade Martial Artists to narrow their eyes, they swiftly performed their body techniques to retreat while madly channeling their power to protect themselves.
"Puff, puff, puff—!"
The sound of blades piercing flesh and severing muscles reverberated endlessly, the Wang family disciples in attendance couldn’t even emit a scream, their bodies stiffly frozen, eyes wide open, their bodies already pierced with blood holes, with corpses falling one after another, truly a river of blood.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the devastated scene with hundreds of Wang Family disciples, Wang Qi and a few others were furious, veins bulging, but seeing this scene, no one dared to make a move, utterly terrified.
"What the hell is this damned bell technique, how can this person still manipulate it without waking up?!"
A Wang Family Elder exclaimed in disbelief, everything before them exceeded their understanding, they couldn’t comprehend how someone could maintain the use of martial techniques while unconscious, and the grade of this martial arts was definitely not low!
"Useless, a bunch of useless!"
Zhou Ying looked grimly at Su Mu within the Cyan Flame Grand Bell, his eyes flashed with greed as they landed on the Sumeru Ring in Su Mu’s hand, although he did not know what caused the recent anomaly, he knew it was certainly triggered by the person before him.
Moreover, this Protective Bell before them wiped out nearly a hundred Wang Family disciples in one strike, proving this person exceptional, this guy must possess great fortune.
If the person before him was still in a conscious state, Zhou Ying might have turned and left, he wouldn’t want to fight with a conscious Su Mu, but now this guy is clearly in a state of epiphany, as long as he eliminates him, this fortune would belong to him, Zhou Ying.
"The Li Family is a branch of the Ancient County Li Family, this person must be a direct descendant of the Donglai Li Family... Heaven truly favors me, Zhou Ying, sending me such a gift from the Li Family!"
Zhou Ying thought to himself, the greed in his eyes growing stronger.
"This scoundrel has slaughtered my Wang Family disciples, please Tributor Zhou, take action to eliminate this villain!"
At this time, Wang Qi spoke viciously, they had witnessed the power of this Cyan Flame Grand Bell, none of them dared to make a move again, but beside them stood Zhou Ying, a Daoist Cultivator.
If power cannot break it, perhaps Daoist means like spiritual power or flying sword attacks could be used to kill, even if unable to kill, disrupting this person’s epiphany would certainly cause backlash, at that point, they could certainly eliminate him.
"Humph, I, Zhou Ying, act without your guidance."
Zhou Ying snorted coldly, Wang Qi’s expression changed slightly, finally speaking softly, "I dare not."
"You all step back."
After these few complied, Zhou Ying’s eyes flashed silver, instead of urging the flying sword in his hand, he summoned another entirely black flying sword with a thought.
The moment the flying sword was summoned, Zhou Ying beside several Sixth-Grade Martial Artists including Wang Qi shivered all over, only felt a chill drilling into their hearts, all of them simultaneously feeling intense danger.
"This old man’s flying sword is forged with part of Cold Yin Wood, having the unique effect of eroding the divine soul."
Zhou Ying was full of confidence, he had used this flying sword to assassinate several Daoist cultivators of the same grade, even had once joined with the Zhou Family to ambush a Fifth-Grade Daoist Cultivator of the Li Family, even a Fifth-Grade Daoist cultivator couldn’t resist the ambush of this flying sword infused with Cold Yin Wood.
Let alone a mere martial artist not cultivating spiritual power, moreover one unconscious.
"To die under this old man’s sword, you can be proud!"
Zhou Ying quickly formed a seal with one hand, the next moment, the black flying sword transformed into a black streak shot out.
Sizzle!
The black flying sword shot like a snake flicking its tongue, the moment the sword tip touched the Cyan Flame Grand Bell, the bell’s cyan flames flared up, but couldn’t stop the black flying sword.
"It pierced through, he’s doomed now!"
Seeing this, the Wang family members had just begun to rejoice when a sudden change occurred.
The flying sword that pierced half a fingertip into Su Mu’s brow was suddenly blocked by the black and white light bursting from Su Mu’s heart, then a mysterious black and white intertwined ’Heart’ character appeared, floating and spinning.
Instantly!
The flying sword trembled violently as if struck by lightning, it stopped completely at Su Mu’s brow, unable to advance, then the sword body cracked like a spider’s web and suddenly fell.
"Pfft!"
Outside the Golden Bell, Zhou Ying’s eyes bulged dramatically, his previously smug and greedy expression frozen, his body trembling violently as he ’pfft’ vomited several mouthfuls of black blood.
Then, Zhou Ying staggered three steps, blood spouted from his seven orifices, his body toppled backward, lifeless.
