Chapter 256 Battle at Shouyang Mountain, Li Mu’e’s Change (5K)

The battle at Shouyang Mountain detonated the entire Shengyuan Kingdom.

The grand tour of onlookers kicked off as the news spread.

Upon hearing the news, countless warriors traveled thousands of miles to the Ziyang Sect, waiting to witness the shocking battle.

"Grandpa, can we go back after watching the competition?"

I thought the war was over, but things took a turn for the worse. Not long after the grandfather and grandson left Shouyang City, news of the battle at Shouyang Mountain spread.

Xiaoxing heard that there was still fun and excitement, but now she had no intention of going back and wanted to join in the fun.

The old man took Xiaoxing's hand and looked at his granddaughter's pitiful expression. After all, he was too soft-hearted and agreed.

"Okay, we made an agreement this time. If the big brother hasn't come in a month, we have to go back, otherwise your mother will be worried."

The old man made preparations in advance so that they would not waste much time one month after another.

But in his opinion, in a month, Xiaoxing's happiness will be in vain again.

This young man named Su Chen would have appeared long ago.

The news of the battle at Shouyang Mountain has spread throughout the Holy Yuan Kingdom. Su Chen has not appeared yet, and the chance of appearing in a month is even slimmer.

Of course, he didn't care about Su Chen's attitude of temporarily avoiding the edge.

Even he had to admit how powerful Yuan Wu and others were.

Even with just a quick glance, he could feel the edge of the younger generation of warriors from the Holy Yuan Kingdom.

Not to mention that Su Chen didn't understand the true meaning of martial arts. Even if he did, he still wouldn't be able to compete with so many talented warriors.

Naturally, Xiaoxing didn't know what the old man was thinking. After asking for permission, he nodded with a smile: "Well, listen to grandpa."

The two of them turned back and stayed temporarily in Shouyang City.

The old man did not realize the advantages of having many people, but the disadvantages followed one after another.

Even though he was an alchemist, he couldn't help but feel that it was expensive to spend the night in Shouyang City.

Fortunately, he brought enough elixirs with him. After a trip to Wanhai Chamber of Commerce, he sold the elixirs he had and exchanged them for Lingyuan Dan, and rented a house in Shouyang City for a month.

During this period, in order to prevent Xiaoxing's mother from being too worried, he asked someone to bring the news back.

A month is not a long time, but with the time before and after, this trip to find medicine is already long enough.

It’s time to report that you are safe.

…

Ziyang Sect.

Su Chen only lived in the other courtyard for less than a month.

Shang Shuo, Zu Peng, Zhu Yan, Xie Sui and other people who knew Su Chen gathered here.

Everyone frowned and the atmosphere was solemn.

Jie Sui comforted Zhu Yan and the others and said, "Zhu Yan, you don't have to worry too much. Su Chen may not show up in half a month."

"Well, if Brother Su doesn't show up, I'll be even more worried." Unlike Zhu Yan, Zu Peng hoped to get some news about Su Chen.

After all, more than ten years had passed and there was no news from Su Chen, so he couldn't help but worry.

What if something happens to Su Chen?

After hearing this, Shang Shuo said firmly: "Su Chen will be fine. He didn't show up. Maybe he was comprehending the true meaning of martial arts and didn't know about it."

Even so, he was still a little worried inside.

Su Chen, please don't let anything happen to you. I'm still waiting to defeat you with my own hands.

He also wanted to challenge Su Chen, but unlike Yuan Wu and others to wash away their shame, he wanted to verify his progress over the years.

Three years of experience in the secret realm allowed him to make great progress while also suffering.

He needed to defeat Su Chen to prove that he had lived up to the hardships he had endured over the years, and he also wanted to prove that his efforts were not in vain.

But not now, he will look for opportunities to challenge Su Chen alone.

Zhu Yan on the side interjected: "My benefactor will be fine, there is no need to worry about that. What I am most worried about is that my benefactor will go to the appointment after learning the news."

"What's there to worry about?" Xie Sui was puzzled. Wouldn't it be better for Su Chen to go to the appointment?

Zu Peng understood what Zhu Yan meant and asked, "Are you worried that Brother Su has not understood the true meaning of martial arts?"

Zhu Yan nodded, and everyone fell into silence.

"Based on my understanding of my benefactor, if he learns of this, even if he does not understand the true meaning of martial arts, he will appear, and then..."

Zhu Yan did not continue, but everyone thought of the result.

If, as Zhu Yan said, Su Chen showed up without understanding the true meaning of martial arts, then what would greet him would be crazy revenge from Yuan Wu and others.

His fate can be imagined.

Failure is not terrible, but being defeated by his former subordinates, and being defeated by dozens of people on the same day, may leave an indelible impression on Su Chen's martial arts path, and even directly affect Su Chen's martial arts aspirations.

Once a warrior's ambition to practice martial arts becomes lax, he may not be able to achieve success even if he has a great opportunity, and his path to martial arts will definitely stop at this moment.

This is the scariest thing!

"But what if he understands the true meaning of martial arts?" Xie Sui asked.

He and Su Chen had not been together for a short time, but there was a feeling that the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water.

Although this probability is very low, it is not impossible.

Everyone still said nothing, but Zhu Qingyou rolled her eyes and explained.

The divine realm is not the realm of Yuanshen. You can win by relying on the strong Yuanli and the power of Yuanli.

Even if Su Chen understood the true meaning of martial arts and came to keep the appointment, how could he defeat so many people by himself?

It should be noted that what Yuan Wu understood was not the true meaning of entry-level martial arts, but the true meaning of perfect-level martial arts.

Among the disciples who entered the secret realm, he was the well-deserved first person.

What's more, it's not just Yuan Wu who wants to deal with Su Chen, but also Jue Wuya and others.

The true meaning of martial arts they comprehend may not be as good as Yuan Wu, but it is still very powerful.

A martial artist in the divine realm can only comprehend one true meaning of martial arts. No matter how talented Su Chen is, he cannot comprehend two.

If they are all about the true meaning of martial arts, the competition will naturally be the understanding of the true meaning of martial arts. How can Su Chen regain his former glory?

Once he appears, all that awaits him is the humiliation of Yuan Wu and others.

While everyone was worried, there were also people discussing this matter on the other side.

Yin Sisi looked at the timid and waxy Fang Rou with dissatisfaction, and raised her voice a bit.

"Junior sister, for your sake, it's good that I don't challenge Su Chen with Yuan Wu. How can you ask me to help Su Chen for your little man? It's too much!"

Thinking back to the swollen face back then, it was a lifelong pain that she still can't erase.

She had already promised Fang Rou not to cause trouble for Su Chen with Yuan Wu and others, but the junior sister she loved the most went even further and asked her to help Su Chen in turn, which really made her feel heartbroken!

Fang Rou stood aside with her head lowered, her mouth pursed, her face flushed, but still pleading, staring at Yin Sisi eagerly.

The dark thoughts turned away from his head, not wanting to look further, lest he become soft-hearted.

After a while, Yin Sisi couldn't stand Fang Rou's eyes anymore and said softly: "Even if I go to help your Brother Su, I can only resist one person!"

"No, there are Zhu Yan, Zu Peng, Shang Shuo and others. If that doesn't work, can Senior Sister also call me Nie Long?" Fang Rou shook her head.

Yinsi thought: "..."

It's not enough to call yourself Nie Long. It's really too much to deceive others!

"roll!"

After a while, Yin Sisi couldn't help roaring, which scared Fang Rou and ran out of the room.

…

As time passed, more and more warriors gathered in Ziyang Sect.

At the foot of Shouyang Mountain, a large number of warriors count the remaining time with their fingers every day.

Ten days, seven days, five days...three days, until the day before the battle.

"Tomorrow is the deadline. If Su Chen doesn't show up yet, I'm afraid he won't show up."

"I thought I was going to have a good show, but now it seems like I wasted a month."

"It's Su Chen's fault for this. Even if he doesn't come, I should tell everyone in advance. There is no shame in admitting defeat."

"..."

As the day of the battle approaches, the buzz about whether Su Chen will appear gradually decreases.

At this time, many people thought that Su Chen would not risk appearing. Although they were disappointed, they still held on to weak hope.

This hope lasted until the last day of the deadline.

The next day, it was dawn.

The entire Shouyang Mountain became extremely lively, and tens of thousands of warriors rushed to Shouyang Mountain like locusts passing through.

Such a crowd directly covered Shouyang Mountain for hundreds of miles.

The rising sun rises in the east, and when the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on everyone's faces, the peaceful Shouyang Mountain becomes restless.

A talented warrior appears!

"It's Duan Feng!"

A tornado rolled up not far away, and there was a figure in the tornado. Everyone quickly recognized each other's identity.

Duan Feng rode the tornado and became the first warrior to reach Shouyang Mountain.

He looked around and landed on a small hill at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the rest of the group to arrive.

Not long after, several more warriors appeared, scattered near Shouyang Mountain, waiting quietly.

"There are so many talented warriors. I never thought that Su Chen could offend so many warriors back then."

Some people looked at the talented warriors who appeared one after another and exclaimed in surprise.

The old man on the side was deeply touched.

Half an hour later, he had already seen hundreds of talented warriors appear, each with extraordinary strength, which really surprised him.

Moreover, it is not over yet, there are still a steady stream of warriors coming from all directions.

Several hours passed, and the expressions of the many onlookers' warriors had changed from surprise at first to numbness now.

It's just that this numbness is also mixed with a bit of hope and disappointment.

As the sun rose and hung high in the sky, batches of warriors arrived, but they still didn't see the expected figure.

"Look, Zhu Yan and the others have appeared."

Near noon, Zhu Yan and his party flew across the sky. Under the gaze of everyone, they arrived late.

Duan Feng and others, who were sitting cross-legged and closing their eyes to relax, couldn't help but open their eyes when they heard the sound of Zhu Yan's appearance.

"There are so many people!" After scanning around, Xie Sui couldn't help sighing.

There were so many people that they could hardly find a place to stay.

"Jue Wuya and others are also here."

Not long after Zhu Yan and the others appeared, a light and shadow suddenly passed across the sky, descending with unparalleled momentum.

Immediately afterwards, several more terrifying auras came.

A sharp sword flew across the sky, penetrated the void and fell. The Sword Sect, Sword Wu Xiaoren and Sword merged into one and landed in one place.

The Golden Cloud Eagle crowed, and the sound pierced the sky. The huge figure covered the sky and the sun, and slowly fell down with the spirit demon sect Shi Tianyi.

Xuanyin Sect Yin Sisi, Dragon Elephant Sect Nie Long, Corpse Puppet Sect Jie Wuyou, Yuanbing Pavilion Bei Xiaotian... appeared one after another.

"Zhu Yan, do Su Chen dare to come?"

Jue Wuya's eyes are like lightning, and there is no need to deliberately release them. His aura is extremely compelling and cannot be ignored.

As soon as he appeared, he turned his attention to Zhu Yan and the others not far away, and asked coldly.

The voice was urgent and also full of dissatisfaction.

The rest of the people also stared at Zhu Yan and others with varying expressions, all with indifference.

"If you want to fight, just come over!" Zhu Yan did not shy away from expressing his dissatisfaction with Jue Wuya.

In order to lure out his benefactor, this guy actually wanted to take advantage of Hong Ming and Li Mo. He wanted to beat them up.

Jue Wuya sneered after hearing this: "After I defeat Su Chen, you and I will naturally have a chance to fight."

"It's just you?" Zu Peng mocked, "You may not even be able to beat me, but you still dare to challenge Brother Su?"

"Hmph, a sharp-tongued guy is worthy of being so arrogant in front of me?"

Jue Wuya took a step forward, and his whole body seemed to be on fire.

Hearing his roar, a beam of fire suddenly shot up into the sky, with the force of a fierce oven, and landed accurately on Zu Peng's body.

Facing Jue Wuya's offensive, Zu Peng sneered at the corner of his mouth, then waved his hand, and a drop of crystal water condensed on his fingertips.

With a flick of the finger, water droplets rose out of the air, and the moment they came into contact with the firelight, they melted into it instantly.

The originally majestic furnace fire was covered in blue light in the blink of an eye, and disappeared silently between heaven and earth.

Seeing this scene, Jue Wuya's pupils shrank slightly. He only knew that Zu Peng was Su Chen's friend, but he never imagined that he was so powerful.

But then a wave of doubt arose in my heart.

Zhu Yan can compete with him because he has gained a lot in the secret realm, but this person has not entered the secret realm, so why should he compete with him?

Just when he was about to fight Zu Peng again and let him see how powerful he was, there was a sudden rumble in the sky not far away.

He followed the sound, and his eyes suddenly froze. Through the heavy light, he saw a terrifying figure coming.

Wherever it passed, it seemed as if even the sky was collapsing.

Behind him, there are endless surging clouds and mist, making him look like a god, covered in light.

"Yuan Wu!"

No one else but Yuan Wu could appear in such a shocking and sensational way.

The mere appearance brought heavy oppression to everyone, and some weak warriors did not even dare to look directly at the intruder.

Like everyone else, Yuan Wu was looking for Su Chen shortly after he fell.

But after he glanced around, he found that there was no disgusting figure on the field.

This discovery did not make him as angry as Jue Wuya, but instead gave him a sneer as expected.

"Haha, you have no guts!" Yuan Wu shook his head and said contemptuously.

The voice was not loud, but it was extremely sarcastic. It fell in the ears of Zhu Yan and Zu Peng, instantly igniting their dissatisfaction.

"What did you say?"

Two angry voices sounded at the same time, and Zhu Yan and Zu Peng looked at Yuan Wu dissatisfied.

Seeing the menacing looks of the two of them, Yuan Wu raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Why, am I wrong?"

"Of course not. How can a defeated general like you have the qualifications to say this?" Zu Peng asked solemnly, with a very serious expression.

As soon as the words 'defeated general' came out of his mouth, Yuan Wu, who was originally indifferent, had a sharp look in his eyes: "What did you say?"

After hearing this, Zu Peng repeated obediently, and then added: "Don't be angry, I have always been upright and only tell the truth."

It's okay if you don't say it, but when you say it, even Jue Wuya and others on the side have dissatisfied expressions and angry eyes.

"Zu Peng, it's useless to talk at this point. If you have the ability, let Su Chen come out and fight with us!" Jue Wuya said angrily.

After hearing this, Zu Peng seemed to have made up his mind and took a step forward: "Why do you need Brother Su to come forward? I will do it!"

"And me!" Zhu Yan said immediately.

Shang Shuo didn't say anything, but took a step forward and stood side by side with the two of them.

Jie Sui glanced at Zhu Qingyou and received her unconditional support, so he also stepped forward.

Fang Rou, who was not far away, saw her and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Yin Sisi, whose eyes signaled her not to act rashly.

Under the gaze of everyone, the four of them stood side by side, their eyes firm, and their bodies exuding determination.

"Okay, Zu Peng, since you want to fight, then I will follow your wish!"

Hearing these words, Jue Wuya could no longer hold back, and blasted out with a palm. The majestic Yuanli had no skills at all, but was much stronger than ordinary Yuanshen realm warriors. With one move, a fire dragon suddenly appeared. Keep everyone in sight.

"Well done!"

Zu Peng's eyes were fixed, and he was about to take action when he was suddenly startled.

A huge sword appeared suddenly, standing in front of him, blocking Jue Wuya's attack.

Then came a sassy figure, his eyes were like deep pools of ink jade, and his eyebrows were like a crescent moon.

She is wearing a purple dress, which not only highlights her voluptuous figure, but also reflects the snow-colored skin.

Dressed like this, not only is there not the slightest bit of charm, but there is also an air of heroism inside and outside. When she appears, the light dims a bit.

"Who are you?" Zu Peng asked curiously, looking at the beautiful figure standing in front of him.

Zhu Yan answered his question: "Li Mu'e!"

"Who are you?" Jue Wuya asked in a deep voice, curious but also solemn.

He could sense that the person in front of him was not simple.

Li Mu'e said nothing. The demon-slaying sword trembled violently, and a vast force of divine weapon surged out.

Caught off guard, Jue Wuya was hit unprepared and took a few steps back in a panic.

"you……"

Jue Wuya's eyes fell on the demon-slaying sword, showing a bit of surprise, and then his face darkened.

"Su Chen is really lucky. I didn't expect another person to come to help, but he is so cowed. What's the use of more people coming?"

Yuanwu guessed Li Mu'e's identity and spoke calmly.

Li Mu'e withdrew her demon-slaying sword, looked at Yuan Wu calmly, and said, "You don't need to talk nonsense, Su Chen will be here soon!"

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, thunder exploded on the ground, shaking all directions. Everyone exclaimed in amazement when they heard the words.

"When will he arrive?" Yuan Wu's eyes were focused, and his voice was filled with urgency that even he had not noticed.

The rest of the people also stared at Li Mu'e intently, with different expressions on their faces.

But without exception, there was a look of expectation deep in his eyes.

Hearing this, Li Mu'e did not speak, but cast her gaze in a certain direction with a complicated expression.

There, she seemed to see a desolate and lonely figure with stooped steps.

Step by step, he slowly and steadily moved towards Shouyang Mountain.
