Da Xuan Martial Saint

"Dead..."

"A high-ranking expert from the Wind Cloud List..."

The entire city district fell dead silent.

People from various factions, as well as some officials from Yu County, all looked towards the area where Chen Mu and Situ Shu were located. They could sense the chilling winter air dissipate in an instant, along with Situ Shu's breath.

Many stewards and disciples exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a hint of shock.

Situ Shu!

A towering figure among the high-ranking experts of the Wind Cloud List, he had dominated the Cold North Path for decades!

This was not any ordinary figure from the Six Viscera Realm; even in the face of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he possessed some self-protection ability, making him a significant figure who ruled over several states. And now, he had perished on the spot!

Chen Mu was indeed ruthless and decisive. Even with a grandmaster from the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion making an appearance, he still brazenly faced the grandmaster's presence, killing Situ Shu under the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, completely disregarding the dignity of a grandmaster.

You must understand.

Although the high-ranking experts of the Wind Cloud List could dominate and were unafraid of most grandmasters, aside from the top few, they merely possessed the ability to protect themselves under a grandmaster's hand. Even those among the top ten on the Wind Cloud List were said to be able to defeat some weaker grandmasters, but in reality, there were no truly weak grandmasters. It was simply that they had only just stepped into the Marrow Cleansing Realm and had not yet fully solidified their Martial Bodies.

The majority of grandmasters were not weak; confronted by such from the Wind Cloud List, they often proved to be more than a match, with only a slight chance of self-protection and the possibility of retreat.

"..."

Fu Jingyuan, an elder wearing a Mysterious Robe and standing on the corner of a rooftop, looked towards the place where Situ Shu had died, his expression somewhat ugly.

If it had been just any common protector from the Six Viscera Realm, Chen Mu's killing him would have been of little concern. He would not have intervened. But Situ Shu was a high-ranking expert on the Wind Cloud List, almost close to a grandmaster's strength, capable of retreating from under a grandmaster's hand – a rarity in the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, only two of such stature existed, their ranks and status only below that of the elders.

And now, he had been mercilessly killed by Chen Mu with a Fist Seal!

On the scene,

Chen Mu, who had just killed Situ Shu, ignored the cold gaze from Fu Jingyuan and coldly walked towards the pit where Situ Shu had died. With a motion of his hand, the Cold Soul Spirit Blade flew out from the ground into his grasp. With a flick, the blood and flesh splashed away, leaving the blade as pristine as if new

"Not bad,"

Chen Mu weighed the Cold Soul Spirit Blade, giving it a scrutinizing glance.

His Flowing Fire Blade had shattered, and this Cold Soul Spirit Blade seemed a suitable temporary replacement. From his brief observation, the quality of this blade was only slightly inferior to the Evil-Breaking Thunder Spear, and it was better than Jiang Yifei's Peach Divine Sword, making it one of the exceptionally good spirit weapons.

There are no clear distinctions like superior or low-grade among spirit weapons because the power difference between different spirit weapons is a smooth curve, not a step-like fluctuation. For example, the spirit weapon used by Chu Jingsui was of the most ordinary power. The Peach Divine Sword was slightly stronger, the Cold Soul Spirit Blade stronger yet, and the Evil-Breaking Thunder Spear even stronger. Beyond that was the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Diagram of Zuo Qianqiu.

The Cold Soul Spirit Blade was essentially in the 'mid-range' category among spirit weapons, the Evil-Breaking Thunder Spear being upper mid-range, and without a doubt, the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Diagram was one of the top-rated spirit weapons. Beyond that were those top-notch divine weapons listed in the 'Da Xuan Spirit Weapon Catalogue.'

Swipe.

After briefly weighing the Cold Soul Spirit Blade in his hand, Chen Mu paid no attention to the two grandmasters in standoff through the air. Instead, he directly turned his gaze towards Duanmu Chun and other protectors from the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, who were still engaged in a fierce battle with Yan Jingqing,

Then, he took a step and vanished from the spot, heading straight for Duanmu Chun and the others.

"Enough."

Fu Jingyuan had been watching Chen Mu's actions with an icy gaze. Seeing Chen Mu take the Cold Soul Spirit Blade and avoiding any interjection, only when Chen Mu rushed towards Duanmu Chun and the others did he finally call out coldly, a mighty pressure permeating the surroundings.

However, Chen Mu, as if he hadn't heard, took a step down and had already charged into the battlefield where Yan Jingqing and Duanmu Chun were confronting each other. Then, raising the Cold Soul Spirit Blade in his hand, a slash was directed towards several protectors of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion behind Duanmu Chun.

"Not good!"

The several protectors maintaining the Four Seasons Formation from the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, sensing a terrifying pressure sweep across, were all greatly alarmed. Almost without needing command, they all concentrated their Artistic Conceptions and Yuan Gang, combining their strength in one place.

In an instant, the Power of Heaven and Earth fluctuated, a burst of brilliance emanated from several people, converging into a brilliant Seasonal Sword, with the glow of the four seasons flowing over it, and a faint oppressive force spread out, facing the slash from Chen Mu.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion sounded.

But there was Chen Mu, his expression cold, the Cold Soul Spirit Blade in his hand flickering with Blade Qi, the Cycle Mark of Eight Phases revolving, the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal flashing past, the Qiankun Eight Phases and the Four Seasons clashing violently in the air, but almost in an instant, his Cold Soul Spirit Blade had crushed that brilliant section of the Seasonal Sword, a grand Blade Qi bursting forth, a slash directed at several protectors below.

Seeing this, Fu Jingyuan's expression turned very ugly. He stepped forward, about to lift his sleeves to sweep away that blade light, but before his step fell, a figure blocked in front of him, it was Feng Hongsheng, the Elder of the Seven Profound Sect.

"Feng Hongsheng, your Seven Profound Sect has gone too far!"

Fu Jingyuan's figure blocked, and seeing the Blade Qi from Chen Mu's side already sweeping down, covering the terrified faces of numerous protectors from the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion into its midst, a spray of fresh blood flew, his expression completely darkened as he looked at the figure before him.
