Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1038 - 523: For My Use! (Part 2)

A chill coursed through Chen Xuan's very being.

"Pervert!"

His head was obliterated, yet beyond a slight dissipation of his aura, no other harm befell him.

Zhan Tian, however, had anticipated this, his overwhelming aura completely engulfing the expert from the Tree-man Race.

"Perish!"

Zhan Tian roared, his powerful arms ensnaring the Tree-man expert. Utilizing his immense strength and robust physique, he disregarded the incoming attacks, gradually crushing his opponent.

"Bang!"

Under the sheer force of Zhan Tian's formidable body, the peak eighth-layer expert of the Tree-man Race detonated, dissolving into a cloud of verdant blood mist!

Defeated!

"Huff huff huff..."

Zhan Tian gasped for air, his once-robust body now heavily wounded.

After all, he had faced a peak eighth-layer adversary!

He downed an entire bottle of pills, and shortly thereafter, his spiritual presence began to slowly mend.

"Dead?"

Even witnessing it firsthand, Li Mu struggled to process the event.

A peak eighth-layer expert had been utterly annihilated by Zhan Tian in an instant; it was common knowledge that the Tree-man Race possessed extraordinary regenerative abilities, making them notoriously difficult to kill.

Yet, before Zhan Tian, through a combination of surprise and brute strength, he had been completely overwhelmed.

"Is Elder Zhan unharmed?"

Chen Xuan approached, his voice laced with concern.

"Hoo—"

Zhan Tian exhaled deeply, "I'm fine now. Damn it, they're incredibly tough to eliminate!"

This method of victory was akin to withstanding the self-detonation of a peak eighth-layer cultivator.

Had it not been for his exceptionally resilient body, he too would have been obliterated in a blinding flash!

Just look at Liu Sheng.

"Not good!"

"The Tree-man Race has detected us!"

Three formidable presences were rapidly converging on their location.

"Elder Zhan?"

Chen Xuan's expression tightened as he glanced towards Zhan Tian.

"Fight!"

He sensed the approaching auras; they were indeed peak eighth-layer cultivators.

Despite this, not a hint of fear entered his heart. They would fight!

Just a little longer!

He needed to engage in a monumental battle, a fight for survival!

"You remain here. Should things turn dire, escape immediately!"

With those words, he charged out of the grand hall.

"Boom boom boom...."

Instantly, the thunderous sounds of a fierce battle erupted from outside, the sheer power of which caused the entire hall to tremble.

"You're still not leaving?"

Li Mu expressed a touch of surprise; his cultivation was only at the early eighth-layer, insufficient for this escalating conflict.

"Are you intending to intervene?"

Chen Xuan posed the question.

"Frankly, I had considered it. If it weren't for you, the Stone Race would already be under my dominion."

"Then why did you aid us?"

Li Mu offered no response, clearly unwilling to divulge his reasons.

"We are all members of the Human Race. If I am to fall, I would prefer it be at the hands of my own kind."

"Is that so?"

"Moreover, the elder was once associated with the Imperial Family!"

"Have you been told that your tongue is exceptionally bothersome?!"

Li Mu directed a cold glare at Chen Xuan.

He harbored a genuine desire to eliminate Chen Xuan, a deep-seated animosity.

"The elder is merely jesting. Had you truly intended to strike, you would have done so already, why waste words with a mere youth?"

"If you are amenable, I can assist you in departing from this place. As for what comes next, that rests entirely with you!"

Li Mu was taken aback by this proposition, his eyes widening in astonishment.

Who was he?

A loyalist of the previous dynasty, according to the Great Yu empire!

And this individual was a subject of Great Yu, offering him assistance to escape?

This was a transgression punishable by death!

How could Great Yu possess such a minister?!

"I must confess, I find you rather formidable."

Chen Xuan smiled faintly at this admission, then inquired in return, "Senior’s courage is not insignificant, is it?"

"Hmph!"

Li Mu snorted coldly, "What is your price?"

"Serve me!"

Chen Xuan stated his demand calmly.

Extending aid was certainly not without cost; he was no saint, nor even a benevolent soul.

He only offered salvation to those who proved useful!

A Spirit Cultivator at the late-stage Dao Realm eighth-layer was undoubtedly of great value.

"Do you not fear I will report you to Great Yu?"

"If that were to occur, Senior would face eternal damnation without so much as seeing the ancestors of the Li Family!"

Chen Xuan harbored no apprehension regarding this threat.

The Li Family's dominion had been usurped by the Qin Family; what concern was that to him?

"Hurry, my patience wears thin; this is but a fleeting whim."

The commotion outside intensified.

Chen Xuan had no inclination to prolong this exchange.

"What about my people from the Li Family?"

If he were to depart alone, his kin would undoubtedly perish.

Chen Xuan's brow furrowed. "No more than ten."

He calculated the number, deeming it his absolute limit.

"Very well!"

Li Mu ultimately assented; he had little choice, especially considering one of the peak eighth-layer Tree-man Race experts had already met their demise here, leaving him with an untenable explanation.

A smile touched Chen Xuan's lips, certain that Li Mu would accept his proposition.

"You've made the wise choice. Given Great Yu's current standing, abandon any thoughts of national resurgence. Your survival is paramount; only by living can you seize future opportunities!" Chen Xuan advised.

Li Mu remained silent, fully grasping the weight of Chen Xuan's words.

It was a realization that had dawned on him during his long, subservient years in Stone Cave. He could only sigh, a sense of resignation washing over him.

Perhaps this was the predetermined path for the Li Family.

"Let's depart," Chen Xuan declared, a hand landing on Li Mu's shoulder as they stepped into the spatial rift. "Where are your family members being held?"

"They are under the watch of the Tree-man Race within the Three Judicial Departments," Li Mu replied.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan moved with haste, instantly appearing above the Three Judicial Departments. He focused his senses, pinpointing the location of the Li Family's people.

"Two Dao Realm cultivators at the mid-eighth-layer are present. I will eliminate them without delay," Chen Xuan stated.

With a mere flick of his wrist, Li Mu surged out of the spatial rift, no words necessary.

In a flash!

Two Tree-man Race experts were instantly obliterated by his potent Spiritual Power.

His targets were decisively chosen.

Back within the spatial rift, Chen Xuan gestured, manifesting a colossal palm constructed from Spiritual Power. It reached out, drawing the Li Family members into the rift.

Shortly thereafter!

Thousands of miles distant!
