Chapter 144 is not worth mentioning.
"Mushan!"
When Bai Tianxiong saw the newcomer, he was startled, as if he were a frightened rabbit. At this moment, he could no longer care about breaking through; surviving was the most important thing.
"【Frosty Swift Edge】!"
Bai Tianxiong hurriedly activated his supernatural powers to block Mu Shan's sword.
Simultaneously.
He inwardly groaned repeatedly:
"Mu Shan's cultivation is extremely high. If I don't break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, how can I possibly be his match? Why is my life so miserable? I finally found an opportunity to break through, a spiritual place for breakthrough, only to have Mu Shan seize this fatal chance!"
"Even that renowned black-robed deacon from the Yunxia Upper Sect is no match for Mu Shan, let alone this old man?"
boom!
The icy blue sword energy collided with the sword intent that Mu Shan was slashing at, creating a deafening roar that then stirred up layers of air waves that swept towards Bai Tianxiong.
During the day, cold sweat beaded on Xiong's forehead.
Fortunately, he did manage to devour Zheng Zhizhuo's corpse and use Zheng Zhizhuo's cultivation as resources.
Therefore, despite the hasty response, he only coughed up a couple of mouthfuls of blood and did not suffer any major damage.
The sword energy dissipated.
Bai Tianxiong, who had narrowly escaped Mu Shan's attack, felt no joy whatsoever.
Instead, his face was filled with fear.
"Back then, Mu Shan easily killed the black-robed deacon who had cultivated two divine abilities by merely unleashing one. Now, I, who have also cultivated two divine abilities, am only managing a draw by using one of his ordinary sword techniques!"
"No, get out of here! The wind's blowing hard, I have to run!"
Bai Tianxiong retreated while pondering a countermeasure.
Distant sky.
Mu Shan raised his eyes, his killing intent intensifying.
"That old man actually has some skill."
No wonder Mu Shan wanted to kill him.
When one reaches the half-step Foundation Establishment stage in cultivation, the most important thing is one's own Dao heart.
Back in Pingyang Market, Bai Tianxiong actually snatched Zheng Zhizhuo's corpse right in front of him and stole the spiritual vein and essence, completely stealing the fruits of Mu Shan's years of planning.
His plan to absorb the Pingyang spiritual vein came to nothing.
Mu Shan had reviewed the events of that year countless times.
Countless times, his killing intent was chilling.
Bai Tianxiong was satisfied, but despite the fact that everyone in the Bai family was dead, he himself escaped in a sorry state.
But he gained all the benefits: the spiritual veins and essences fell into his hands, and the corpse of his enemy Zheng Zhizhuo was snatched away right before his eyes.
As for Mu Shan, what did he gain?
Having obtained the corpses of his subordinates, the Zheng family and Pingyang spiritual vein, who should have surrendered, were all rendered useless!
Mu Shan had held a grudge against him for decades over this matter.
Seeing Bai Tianxiong now, both old and new grudges surged up at once!
Bai Tianxiong looked at Mu Shan cautiously and said, "Fellow Daoist Mu, I have no grudge against you, and my past conflict with Zheng Zhizhuo had nothing to do with you. Would you be willing to do me a favor today?"
"If you spare my life, I, Bai, am willing to serve you as your loyal hound, running errands for you in this secret realm without complaint. Furthermore, I will do everything in my power to help you establish your foundation, offering all the resources at my disposal!"
As Bai Tianxiong spoke, he felt he didn't have enough leverage, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to swear an oath of Dao heart. Even if you ask me to make you my master, it wouldn't be impossible?"
"No need!"
Mu Shan snorted coldly. Bai Tianxiong's pleading posture not only failed to arouse his pity, but also reminded him of the old codger Niu Gao.
Niu Gao and the Cui family, those old fogies, all act just like Bai Tianxiong—hypocritical, shameful, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
Mount Mu hung high in the sky, his eyes cold and indifferent, like an emperor who held the power of life and death. He looked at Bai Tianxiong and said in a cold voice:
"What I want, I will take myself. Your loyalty is worthless to me, your anger is worthless to me. The only thing that can please me is your death. Bai Tianxiong, today is your death day!"
boom!
A dark sword intent was instantly unleashed by Mu Shan, and the surrounding space shattered inch by inch under the pressure of that sword intent.
"not good!"
Bai Tianxiong's face immediately changed color, his old face turning half green and half white.
"This sword intent, this sharpness, is clearly the same divine power that killed the black-robed deacon back then—the [Delusional Emotion Slash]!"
"The Seven Desires and Delusions Sutra truly lives up to its reputation as a supreme technique derived from the Supreme Heavenly Demon Sutra. Observing this young man wields his supernatural sword intent with effortless ease, it's clear he has made further breakthroughs compared to before!"
Bai Tianxiong's body trembled.
"How can I dare to fight? How can I dare to engage? No, I must flee immediately!"
Years of cultivation are not empty talk; Bai Tianxiong's experience of over a hundred years of cultivation allowed him to respond quickly.
boom!
Bai Tianxiong quickly put his hands together in prayer.
A lotus flower, half red and half blue, sprouted from his hand, half of it frozen in frost and half ablaze with flames.
It was after refining Zheng Zhizhuo that Bai Tianxiong obtained the second divine power of the "Mysterious Frost Devouring Flame Technique"—the Crimson Lotus Devouring Technique!
Despite activating his supernatural powers, Bai Tianxiong's expression remained solemn.
He quickly spat out his essence and blood, activating a human bone artifact, which was transformed from the leg bone of his old acquaintance Zheng Zhizhuo, and was refined by him according to the secret method in the "Mysterious Frost Devouring Flame Technique".
As soon as the human bone artifact floated in the sky, Bai Tianxiong hurriedly pulled his beloved granddaughter Bai Yuechan onto it and rode on top of it.
Then, he instantly unleashed his divine power to meet the sword intent unleashed by Mu Shan.
Sword Wave magic surged behind him.
Bai Tianxiong didn't dare to look away, and quickly activated the human bone artifact, fleeing into the distant sky.
The lotus flower and the sword intent collided in the air. Just as Bai Tianxiong had predicted, the supernatural power he had painstakingly refined using the corpse of an old acquaintance could not withstand even a single move from Mu Shan.
boom!
A tremendous roar resounded as the sword intent destroyed the lotus flower, its power undiminished as it slashed straight towards the cliff.
Once the smoke cleared, the solid second-tier spiritual land was completely hollowed out by Mu Shan's casual divine power.
Rocks flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
Bai Tianxiong, who was watching with bated breath, felt as if his soul had been ripped away.
Bai Tianxiong swallowed hard, still feeling a lingering fear.
"Oh, what a misfortune! What a misfortune! How did I end up with such a vicious person!"
"If I hadn't run away just now, I'd probably be reduced to ashes like that rocky cliff!"
With a thud, the white bone artifact was activated by Bai Tianxiong, sacrificing its lifespan, and its speed suddenly increased several notches.
"Hmph! That old geezer, he can still run as fast as he used to!"
Mu Shan's eyes were as cold as frost. Back then, Bai Tianxiong had escaped from his grasp by relying on his speed. Now, decades later, how could he not have made a response?
"Heavenly Slaughter!"
Mu Shan gave a cold shout, and the unremarkable black ancient sword at his waist was immediately drawn.
Although it did not reveal any sharpness, even Bai Tianxiong, who was exhausted from running around, felt a stab in his mind when he sensed it.
"What kind of sword is this? What kind of monster is this?!"
Bai Tianxiong's face turned deathly pale as he desperately poured his magical power into the human bone artifact.
Because he truly sensed the impending doom emanating from that ancient sword, even though he was still on the human bone artifact and fleeing at top speed!
