Chapter 857 Mu Shen Vs Guiyan Family [I]

"I'm Mu Shen, and I do not belong to any sect! I've come to rescue our friend, Qin Xuzi!"

Mu Shen exclaimed coldly, with a much more powerful momentum surging from him as he faced this man's aura.

Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling behind Mu Shen also raised their cultivation bases to their highest level, showing that they were with Mu Shen.

"Qin Xuzi?"

The man frowned as he realized that this person's name was vaguely familiar, as if he had heard it before. But at the same time, this man sought knowledge about whether there was any powerful Mu family in the south state.

This young man, who was barely in his 20s, clearly had a high level of cultivation, showing that he was a genius at his age, but if he did not belong to any sect, then he must have come from some ancient family.

"There is no person with that name in the Guiyan family, so it's a mistake to have meddled in this place. You have to pay for your crimes!"

After a couple of seconds of consideration, the man finally made up his mind and focused his gaze on Mu Shen. His aura increased much more and covered Mu Shen completely.

Without any endorsement that he belonged to any sect or distinguished family, this young man should be a lone cultivator who probably had some chance encounter and, coupled with his talent, managed to cultivate to such a level.

With his current cultivation level and his identity as an external elder of the Guiyan family, he was enough to take care of this matter. He was currently being watched by several internal elders, so poor performance would undoubtedly bring him consequences.

"Bullshit! I know she's here! You had her as a servant and slave! But a few days ago you forced her to be a bait with other people in the Devil Plain so that your young master could be saved!"

Mu Shen roared with anger and contempt, further increasing his momentum as he saw that this man also did not want to reason.

Although he was not afraid of him, Mu Shen understood that this Guiyan family belongs to the rank of first forces of the capital, a force that contained several Nascent Soul cultivators and even some Body Condensation realm ancestors.

If he could, Mu Shen would rather avoid fighting with this family and talk to reach an agreement. He didn't care if he had to give up much of his possessions, just for the sake of rescuing this person. With his current cultivation, he wouldn't be able to face those Body Condensation realm cultivators.

However, this world was not his world of birth, that small world, the divine star contient where things could be settled with words and agreements.

But in this world it only mattered who had the strongest fist, so he had to adapt and survive without expecting help. Cultivate himself and reach the top of the world with his and his wives' strength.

Mu Shen's momentum finally reached the Golden Core Late Stage, but surprisingly he didn't stop, rising towards the top and going straight to the next realm. His aura was rising neither too fast nor too slow, with a steady pace as if he was waiting for something.

"The young master?" The man frowned, finally becoming slightly worried when he noticed that the aura of this young man in front of him was about to catch up to him, meaning that they had the same level of cultivation with a steady and stable aura and which was probably a secret technique to increase his strength temporarily.

Half-step to Nascent Soul!

At such an age and with such a level of cultivation, this young man was undoubtedly a genius. Compared to the young master of the family, Mu Shen was a genius without a doubt and with great talent.

"If I say that person is not here, then he is not here!"

The man finally said coldly as he felt the inquisitive gazes on him from inside the building, knowing that he was not doing his duty.

The man's aura reached its limit and likewise, a dark fog emerged from him. But unlike the middle-aged man who had performed the same attack, this man's dark mist was a bit lighter and blacker.

The mist took the form of a giant hand that rushed towards Mu Shen, while at the same time the remaining dark mist enveloped him completely, preventing him from escaping.

"[Limitless Darkness]!"

The man growled fiercely, enveloping Mu Shen with all of his dark mist.

This ability covered the opponent's senses, preventing him from escaping while being besieged by his other attacks!

* Slash! *

The light sound of the sword being waved in the air clearly spread out, as if it contained an extremely terrifying edge that seemed to cut through the very sky.

The giant hand made from the dark mist was sliced in two, and the slash was directed towards the man who was shocked.

"This is the power of a half-step genius to the nascent soul realm?!" The man exclaimed full of horror before dodging the sword slash. His back had been drenched in cold sweat as he felt the breath of death for a moment.

Although they had the same cultivation level, this young man's power undoubtedly far surpassed his own strength.

They had the same level of cultivation, but they were not at the same level of power!

The slash Mu Shen threw pierced through some buildings, shattering large parts of their structures and finally alarming the entire residence of the Guiyan family.

"Kid! Now don't even think about getting out of here alive!"

A furious voice full of murderous intent quickly emerged as several figures appeared in front of Mu Shen, exuding terrifying auras that seemed to shake the very space.

"Elders!"

The previous man who managed to dodge Mu Shen's attack was stunned at the sight of these figures and quickly bowed in respect and fear as he clenched his fists together.

"This lowly one apologizes for not being able to protect the Guiyan family house!" The man trembled slightly, not daring to lift his face. He even prostrated himself before these figures.

"You are a disgrace as an external elder of the Guiyan family!" An old man in his 60s growled with contempt without even looking at the man, adding, "Go to the punishment hall for 50 lashes! Then pack your things and leave!"

The man paled when he heard this but did not dare refuse, he could only shakily nod his head and in a low voice: "Yes, elder..."

"Nascent soul middle stage..." Mu Shen frowned as he looked at this 60-year-old old man who exuded a much more terrifying aura than the previous man. This old man was the most powerful than the others present, but his aura seemed slightly unstable, as if he had just broken through.

Mu Shen's mind quickly thought of various plans, at this rate, he had undoubtedly alarmed the entire Guiyan family. The chances that the most powerful elders, as well as the leader and ancestors would come out to confront him were very high. It would not be strange if they were watching him at this moment and he could not perceive them.

After all, once he defeats the weaker ones the strong ones will come out, so that, in the end when he defeats these strong ones as well, the biggest and most powerful ones known as the ancestors will come out.

"I only have one chance if we are to escape..."

Mu Shen muttered to himself as he located a talisman inside his storage ring. That talisman had been given to him by Hao Zhentian, for them to use as a last resort.

But using it meant that they would have to run and thus abandon Qin Xuzi. Mu Shen could not afford it.

Mu Shen looked at Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling, who these three women nodded to him without a trace of hesitation.

Whatever Mu Shen was going to do, the three of them would support him completely.

"Brat, I hope you're ready to leave your life here!"

The 60+ old man looked gloomily at Mu Shen, raised his hand and a dozen swords formed from dark mist surrounded Mu Shen.

It seemed that the dark mist was a particular technique of the Guiyan family. But the higher one's cultivation level, this skill showed a different level, much stronger and more terrifying when the caster had a higher cultivation level.

The other figures beside the 60+ old man raised their hands and spiritual weapons, throwing it towards Mu Shen, Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling.

This wave of attacks would undoubtedly destroy a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core, even a cultivator who had just reached the Nascent Soul realm would be killed if he was careless.

Mu Shen finally snorted coldly and stopped withholding all his cultivation.

His momentum increased drastically in an instant, soaring unhindered as his aura rapidly spread out.

Quickly, Mu Shen's cultivation base reached the nascent soul early stage and did not stop there, his momentum continued to increase and crossed the middle stage, finally reaching the Nascent Soul realm Late Stage.

Mu Shen raised the sword and poured all his cultivation essence into it. The sword seemed to vibrate and shook the space slightly, as if it could barely resist Mu Shen's immense power.

The sword was shaken again and this time, the space was shaken briefly as the sword slash collided with the Guiyan family elders' other attacks.

"What?"

The elder with an appearance of over 60 years old was stunned once the smoke dispersed and saw Mu Shen unharmed, with the attacks of all of them nullified.

Mu Shen's aura showed itself unreservedly, making several elders gasp coldly once they clearly perceived it.

"Nascent soul late stage!"

The 60-year-old elder exclaimed as he felt Mu Shen's terrifying coercion upon him, realizing that this aura could only belong to a cultivator who had a strength beyond his own.

This young man had clearly reached the Nascent Soul realm Late Stage at such a young age!
