The Way of The Dao

Chapter 863 Didn't I Tell You That This Is A Problem Of The Younger Generation? [II]

"Aaahhggg! Shit!"

Guiyan Han roared painfully, backing up several meters when Mu Shen had wounded him. He raised his other arm and grabbed the opposite shoulder, feeling that if he made any sudden movements his whole arm would be separated from his body.

"Haa...Haa..." Mu Shen gasped heavily, leaning on his sword as he watched Guiyan Han coldly.

"I want you to die!"

Guiyan Han shouted fiercely, exploiting all of his cultivation essence at the same time as his spiritual force.

"[Dark World]!"

With a low and dark voice, Guiyan Han waved his good arm for a moment before grabbing his other arm again. He quickly ate a medicinal pill, beginning to recover from his wounds.

The spear filled with his aura, forming small wisps of dark mist, while a powerful spiritual force spread throughout, enveloping Mu Shen and the others.

The day quickly turned to night, all around was dark, enveloping Mu Shen in darkness and clouding all his senses.

"[World Sword]!"

Once again, Mu Shen took a deep breath and mobilized the spiritual force in his consciousness sea, forming a small sword which he materialized in front of him.

The small sword let out a small glow that shook the darkness for a moment before slashing towards the sky.

* Crack! *

The sound of paper tearing was quickly heard, when the next moment, a light flashed from the sky, illuminating the entire space and eliminating the darkness.

"Even if you removed the restriction, it's already too late!"

Guiyan Han had appeared behind Mu Shen and with his spear aimed for his head. The soul skill he had cast served to confuse and cover the enemy's senses, so just one second of being defenseless would be enough to kill him!

"It's not the first time I've faced someone like you!"

But Mu Shen coldly snorted and his head had already moved to the side without needing to turn to look behind him.

This was not the first time Mu Shen had been in such a situation. So many fights and encounters with many cultivators in this world had enriched his battle experience, developing a great intuition for fighting.

Mu Shen's body turned and his sword swung at the speed of a blink of an eye.

Cultivation essence poured onto the sword, piercing through the chi guard on Guiyan Han's body, cutting through his other healthy shoulder and wounding his chest much more.

Guiyan Han's healthy arm holding the spear was slashed fiercely, falling on the ground as it detached from his body.

Guiyan Han lost his balance and rolled on the ground. One of his arms had been severed almost from the shoulder, while the other hung limply from his other shoulder, losing all ability to fight.

This scene was recorded in front of all the Guiyan family members and spectators, watching how the patriarch of the Guiyan family had been crippled by a lone cultivator with a cultivation inferior to him.

"F-father!"

The young master Guiyan called out fearfully before raising his arm and pointing at Mu Shen with his whole body trembling. Having witnessed everything that had happened, he clearly knew that Mu Shen had the strength to destroy the entire Guiyan family except for the ancestors.

"H-he hurt my father! Kill him! You have to kill him!" The young master Guiyan screamed with ferocity and fear.

The Guiyan family elders swallowed saliva with difficulty at the sight of Mu Shen, hesitating whether or not to actually attack.

After all, the patriarch of the Guiyan family was more powerful than them, an expert who had reached the body condensation realm while they were barely at the nascent soul realm.

That this young enemy could defeat the patriarch showed that his strength was superior to the patriarch himself.

To go against this young man was clearly to seek death.

"What are you waiting for? Attack him all together! He must be exhausted by now and must not have much strength left! He won't be able to resist all of you together!" The young master Guiyan yelled angrily when he saw that no one was moving.

The elders looked at each other and saw a spark of hope.

When confronted against the Guiyan patriarch, this young man had clearly used great strength, so he was not at his peak. In such a case, they had a great chance of winning.

The elders and experts who had reached the nascent soul realm finally moved toward Mu Shen. They took out their spiritual weapons and made their cultivation essences flow.

But Mu Shen only gave them a cold glare and and waved his sword, severely wounding several elders in one move!

"Catch those women!"

"Yes, young master!"

Seeing that Mu Shen still had enough strength, several elders had decided to take Hu Wenxin and the other women hostage so that Mu Shen would surrender.

Unexpectedly, Mu Shen did not move and just coldly watched what was happening.

This time, Hu Wenxin coldly snorted and the sword in her hands glowed as she poured her cultivation essence into it.

The aura of a nascent soul realm mid-stage expert spread out as she waved the sword and caught several of the enemies, some of them obtaining serious injuries and others becoming crippled as their meridians were destroyed.

The complexion of the young master and the Guiyan family members paled, realizing that this young man's female fellows were also strong.

"B-bring back the ancestors to take care of this guy who wants to destroy the Guiyan family!"

"B-but young master... the ancestors can't participate in the battle..."

"Call them! That man is long gone! Besides, do you think he would dare to face the forces of the entire capital if he let some kids destroy the Guiyan family? Even if he is a powerful expert, there are still people stronger and more powerful than him and wouldn't dare to say anything!"

The young master shouted in despair, this young man had to die, because if indeed the ancestors did not move then Mu Shen would most likely kill him. He did not want to die.

"B-but..."

"The young master is right!"

One of the family elders hesitated when a somber voice interrupted him. He looked up and was stunned.

Mu Shen's intuition of danger had alarmed him once again before the voice of the ancestors spoke, so he tried to approach Hu Wenxin and the women to use the talisman and escape from the place.

Mu Shen was not so stupid and naive to believe that these ancestors would really stand idly by once the man wearing the fox mask left. And even if the fox mask man was still present, Mu Shen understood that he could not completely trust him.

But as he was about to activate the talisman, a terrifying aura had quickly enveloped him. He raised his head and his pupils shrank.

The three ancient ancestors of the Guiyan family had appeared again, not one, but all three. Even the ancestor who was injured by that mysterious expert appeared as well. His hand had been attached to his body apparently, but it was completely pale.

"That man left the capital without a doubt!"

One of the ancestors said coldly. The hidden formation he had around the entire capital, as well as the informants placed at the entrances of the capital had confirmed that the man with the fox mask had left the capital while riding on his flying sword.

"Killing you won't be enough!"

The ancestor who was wounded and had attacked Mu Shen earlier roared furiously as his gaze fell on Mu Shen. His eyes were red like that of a wild beast, with boundless madness.

Although he had no trouble reattaching his hand to his arm, he had to burn quite a bit of blood essence and consume various medicinal treasures he had ready to use when facing his heavenly tribulation.

Mu Shen did not hesitate to burn so much of his cultivation essence while spitting out three mouthfuls of blood on his sword. His cultivation base that ranged from late to mid stage, dropped to early stage at the same time as his aura completely weakened. His face paled in an instant.

However, a split second later, Mu Shen's momentum rose dramatically, reaching a strength that surpassed the limit of the nascent soul realm and reached the body condensation realm, reaching the early stage and even surpassing the middle stage!

The sword rose heavily to barely meet the Guiyan family ancestor's sword that had already appeared in front of Mu Shen.

"Tricks in the face of true strength are insignificant!"

Sensing Mu Shen's powerful momentum, the Guiyan family ancestor snorted sneeringly and swung his sword that he was using with his healthy hand.

* Boom! *

An explosive ripple spread to the surroundings, with cultivation essences scattering everywhere.

Mu Shen's sword shattered and he flew out, impacting several walls of the nearby buildings.

* Crackle... *

Surprisingly, the sword held by the ancestor cracked as he himself had stepped back several meters before steadying himself, his face red with shame and somewhat resentful.

Although his strength had been reduced by the wound he had received earlier, he was still an expert at the peak of the body condensation realm. That he couldn't kill a mere brat at the nascent soul realm meant that his strength was a joke and his entire cultivation time absurd.

"Shen!"

Hu Wenxin rushed over to help Mu Shen, while Deng Xie and Fu Ling supported Qin Xuzi as well, rushing towards Mu Shen.

"Don't even try to escape!"

Another one of the ancestors extended his aura and locked up the five young people.

Mu Shen could barely lean on his sword, while being supported by Hu Wenxin as well. His vision was somewhat blurred as he gasped heavily, feeling that his body was heavy and at any moment he might faint.

But in an instant he gathered all his energy and focused his spirit sense on the talisman to get out of here the instant he could break the coercion on them even for a moment.

"It's a pity you're not part of the Guiyan family, but you can't get out of here alive!"

The old man who had confronted Mu Shen sneered and walked towards him. His eyes stared at Mu Shen's storage ring, imagining himself obtaining the [Double Spirit Root] and subsequently breaking through to the separation and reunion realm.

He would be the first expert in the entire south state!

"Didn't I tell you that this is a problem of the younger generation?"

Suddenly, the same hoarse voice echoed through the place.

A shivering sensation and the breath of death blowing his nape enveloped the ancestor standing in front of Mu Shen. His body trembled with fear and terror, he raised his arm and waved the sword around him as he expelled all his power, wanting to create a distraction for a moment so that he could escape using some secret techniques.

* Flash! *

A faint flash crossed the ancestor as the next moment his head fell to the ground.
