Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 985 - 509: What? The Target Is He!

Liu Sheng cast an indifferent glance, offering no words.

"Damn it!" Li Mu seethed inwardly; this turn of events had completely disrupted his carefully laid plans. It also meant the Li Family's sacrifice would occur prematurely.

"Big brother, what shall we do?" the Third Ancestor inquired through a sound transmission, while the Second Ancestor also turned their gaze towards him.

"Is this truly the case?" The Great Ancestor narrowed his eyes, his voice growing hoarse. Truthfully, he was swayed. A century of stability could indeed be the Stone Race's chance to ascend, but did his word hold weight? And if he were to break his promise, then...

"I've told you, whether you believe it or not is your choice. So... you decide if you wish to gamble or not?" Liu Sheng stated coldly.

"You might not be able to kill me either?" Li Mu interjected at that crucial moment. It was evident the Great Ancestor was tempted, which was unfavorable news for Li Mu.

"Take action!" In that instant, the Great Ancestor made his decision and launched his attack.

Of course, facing an experienced master at the peak of the eighth layer of the Dao Realm was an even more significant concern; he lacked complete confidence. Even if he managed to kill Liu Sheng, the repercussions for the Stone Race would be unbearable. Furthermore, if he killed Li Mu, the suppression would vanish, and at that point... victory wouldn't be assured.

"Attack!"

"Immediately!"

The three great ancestors of the Stone Race and Li Mu clashed. Four masters, each at the eighth layer of the Dao Realm, engaged in a devastating battle that shattered the very fabric of space. Despite harboring a fear of the imperial majesty surrounding Li Mu, the survival of their race compelled the three Stone Race ancestors to forcibly overcome this apprehension.

"Bang bang bang...." Li Mu unleashed a long whip formed from spiritual power, striking and obliterating the lower half of the Third Ancestor's body. However, the Great Ancestor retaliated with a punch that tore a gaping hole through Li Mu's chest, causing blood to erupt like a geyser.

"Hiss...." Chen Xuan watched the terrifying spectacle unfold, his teeth gritted and his eye twitching uncontrollably. Was this the sheer power of someone in the late stage of the eighth layer of the Dao Realm? The Third Ancestor couldn't even withstand a single strike of spiritual power! How utterly brutal.

However... "Chief Eunuch, is everything proceeding so smoothly?" A sense of unease inexplicably settled upon him. The Stone Race's swift agreement seemed almost too convenient.

Liu Sheng, however, remained remarkably composed, his gaze intently fixed on the four combatants. "Rest assured, I have everything under control!" This was not mere arrogance. Before arriving at the Stone Cave, he had personally consulted the Hall Master of the Star Hall for a divination. The outcome indicated peril, but ultimately, no fatal danger.

This was the reason behind his calm demeanor. Naturally, a divination was just that—a prediction; unforeseen circumstances could still arise. Therefore, he maintained a vigilant watch over the participants, prepared for any unexpected developments.

"Boom..." At this exact moment, the Great Ancestor of the Stone Race's physical form suddenly expanded, transforming into a colossal Stone Man nearly a thousand meters tall. A blinding yellow light enveloped his entire being.

"I will suppress him!" With these booming words, a pair of immense hands descended from above, targeting Li Mu!

"Begone!" Streams of spiritual power surged outward, attempting to parry the descending hands. Yet, the Great Ancestor's might intensified as he reverted to his original form, already nearing his peak strength at the eighth layer. Though the consequences of this action would be severe, he could no longer afford to hesitate. He had to vanquish Li Mu swiftly. Once Li Mu was dead, the formation would collapse, allowing him to fully regain his peak eighth-layer Dao Realm strength. Facing Liu Sheng then would be a different matter. And this was the Stone Race's royal city.

Taking such a gamble might even present an opportunity to eliminate Liu Sheng as well. To slay a titan of Great Yu... the blow to Great Yu would be immense... hehe! This was precisely why he had come to an agreement with Liu Sheng.

"Bang bang bang!" Spiritual power streams were unceremoniously crushed by the Great Ancestor's colossal hands. Li Mu's expression shifted dramatically; he instantly ignited his vital energy, causing his spiritual power to surge uncontrollably, barely managing to withstand the pressure of the Great Ancestor's two massive hands.

At this critical juncture, one of the Great Ancestor's hands hovered a hundred meters above Li Mu's head, while the other was positioned a hundred meters below his feet. Though Li Mu held his ground, he was effectively pinned, immobilized in mid-air by the crushing force of the Great Ancestor's hands.

"Old Second, strike!" the Great Ancestor roared. This was his true objective: not to kill Li Mu, but merely to contain him, creating an opening for the Second Ancestor to deliver the decisive blow. Instantly, the Second Ancestor comprehended his elder's intention.

Turning his attention to the Third Ancestor, he commanded, "Quickly, channel all your power to me!" As he spoke, his body softened as if melting, morphing into a giant stone entity several dozen meters in size. In the subsequent moment, this stone form transformed into a formidable spear.

Meanwhile, the Third Ancestor's crystal stone detached from his body! A dazzling white light shot forth, striking the spear that the Second Ancestor had become. Suddenly! The spear began to vibrate intensely, and ominous blood patterns materialized on its sharpened tip.

"Chief Eunuch, if we were to step in now..."

Liu Sheng swiftly cut off Chen Xuan's sound transmission, retorting, "What are you thinking, you brat? The aura of the Stone Race's leader has been fixated on me this entire time!"

"The moment I make a move, he'll undoubtedly abandon Li Mu and shift his attention to me!"

"This is the Stone Race's royal city; do you truly believe they lack any hidden trump cards?"

"Uh—"

Chen Xuan was taken aback; his assessment of the situation had indeed been far too simplistic.

It turned out Liu Sheng had been under scrutiny the whole time, yet he hadn't detected it in the slightest, mistakenly assuming...

He offered a bitter smile.

He was so weak that others didn't even bother to acknowledge his presence.

"How humiliating!"

Shaking his head, this was the very first time he had experienced such a feeling.

"It's all up to you now, Old Second!"

The Third Ancestor bellowed hoarsely, though his voice carried an extreme frailty. In the subsequent moment, the crystal stone lost its radiance, transforming into a streak of white light that retreated back into his body.

"Kill!"

The Second Ancestor's roar reverberated throughout the entire royal city.

The spear vanished instantaneously, its trajectory aimed precisely at the suppressed Li Mu!

"Not good!"

Li Mu shrieked in alarm as he witnessed the spear imbued with killing intent. Gritting his teeth fiercely, he once again ignited his vital energy, causing his spiritual power to surge dramatically.

"Clang! Clang! Clang..."

The potent spiritual power collided violently with the Great Ancestor's colossal hands, producing resounding clanging noises and even etching cracks onto them.

Observing Li Mu's desperate struggle to break free from his confinement.

The Great Ancestor amplified the power of the crystal stone within his body to its absolute limit, urging, "Quickly, Old Second!"
