Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 986 - 509: What? The Target Is Him! (Part 2)

With an urgent plea.

He could no longer hold back the surging power.

Fifty meters away!

Ten meters!

In an instant!

The spear was merely a hair's breadth from Li Mu.

"Kill!"

The Great Ancestor roared, his voice booming. Once Li Mu was eliminated, Liu Sheng would pose no significant threat, thus resolving the Stone Race's dire crisis.

However... the spear narrowly grazed Li Mu's head.

Vanishing instantly!

It reappeared directly at the chest of the Stone Man the Great Ancestor had transformed into.

"Bang!"

The spear plunged through.

"Second..."

The Great Ancestor stood utterly bewildered. The Second Ancestor had actually attacked him?

Could this entire affair be a conspiracy orchestrated against him?

Why would they do this?

They were all part of the Stone Race; he held the esteemed position of the Great Ancestor!

"Why?"

The Great Ancestor reverted to his original form, a gaping void where his chest should be. Beside him, the Second Ancestor held a Crystal Stone, his gaze fixed upon him with chilling indifference.

"Why?"

"I am not your Second Ancestor!"

The Second Ancestor stated impassively.

"Hahaha....."

Li Mu erupted into maniacal laughter, his form blurring as he swiftly moved to stand beside the Second Ancestor.

This was the culmination of his meticulous plan.

His ultimate target was none other than the Great Ancestor of the Stone Race. As for the Second Ancestor, he had been under Li Mu's control for quite some time.

"Quickly refine his Crystal Stone!"

Li Mu urged.

"Understood!"

The Second Ancestor promptly swallowed the Crystal Stone whole.

This astonishing turn of events left Chen Xuan gaping in disbelief, his mind struggling to process the rapid developments.

Even Liu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly.

An unforeseen outcome!

"That old man is terrifying!"

Chen Xuan blurted out, thinking that this stratagem was cunning enough to lead to his own demise.

But... Liu Sheng turned, fixing him with a fierce glare.

Collateral damage was clearly not on his mind.

Chen Xuan swiftly silenced himself!

"Boss, are you alright?"

At this crucial moment, the Third Ancestor arrived by the Great Ancestor's side, channeling the remaining energy from a Crystal Stone into his body.

"It's no use; the Crystal Stone is gone. I cannot survive!"

The Great Ancestor's voice was filled with despair as he shook his head in reluctant acceptance.

He had faithfully protected the Stone Race and was unafraid of death, yet he never anticipated such a conclusion.

But... what would become of the Stone Race?

His gaze drifted towards Li Mu, "When did you make your move?"

He had kept Li Mu under constant surveillance; how had he managed to slip through his grasp within the royal city?

"When you reached the Peak of the Eighth Realm!"

Li Mu responded with a smile, commencing his explanation.

"At that very moment, the Second Ancestor had just broken through to the Late Stage and was still unstable. It presented the sole opportunity, and I seized it!"

Though he spoke now with a calm demeanor, the precariousness of that situation, where a single misstep could have doomed the entire Li Family, was palpable.

Yet, his gamble had paid off!

"Boom——"

Just then, the Second Ancestor's aura surged dramatically. "Fusion!"

A powerful shout echoed!

Instantly!

The two Crystal Stones within his being merged into one. This was a unique advantage of the Stone Race; Crystal Stone fusion could amplify power, but it necessitated stones from the same race and those purer than one's own.

Otherwise, if weaker stones were fused, the Stone Race would have perished long ago.

"Boom!"

The aura of the Peak of the Eighth Layer Dao Realm erupted with immense force.

"Good, good, good!"

Li Mu gazed at him, emotion swelling as he uttered the word "good" thrice. The sacrifices made by his Li Family, even his own son, had culminated in this moment, making it all worthwhile!

Witnessing this spectacle, the Great Ancestor finally grasped the grim reality: the Stone Race was doomed!

"Later, I will use the ancestral array to teleport you away. From this moment forth, the fate of the Stone Race rests upon your shoulders!"

The ancestors of the Stone Race had indeed left behind a contingency array, a secret known only to him.

He had never imagined it would be needed in his lifetime, but who could have foreseen...hehe!

A bitter smile touched his lips!

"Big brother!"

The Third Ancestor of the Stone Race, his eyes welling with tears, could no longer contain his emotions.

"Who exactly is he?"

The Great Ancestor fixed his gaze upon Li Mu, seeking this final answer, for without it, he could not find peace even in death.

"I am his twin brother! Li Shen!"

After enduring such a prolonged period of concealment, he could finally declare his name openly.

"Good, truly good. I never expected you to hide so deeply,"

The Great Ancestor slowly closed his eyes.

In the subsequent instant, his body disintegrated, transforming into stone.

"Bang!"

The stone monument shattered violently.

Li Mu observed the scene, a slight frown creasing his brow, an ominous premonition stirring within him.

The fragments of stone scattered like meteors in every direction. The Third Ancestor beside him, enveloped in starlight, vanished from the royal city in a flash.

The dispersed starlight instinctively sought out various members of the Royal Family, adhering to them before disappearing from sight.

"This is bad!"

Li Mu exclaimed, realizing it was a forbidden technique passed down by the Stone Race's ancestors, a power he was now helpless to prevent.

"Big brother!"

Li Shen's celebratory mood vanished, his countenance darkening considerably. They had been deceived by a man on his deathbed.

The Great Ancestor's feigned reluctance was merely a ruse to buy time.

"Damn it all!"

Li Mu cursed with immense fury, regretting his own negligence.

"Search everywhere! Even if it means tearing apart the entire Stone Race, those individuals must be apprehended!"

However, even with a thorough search, the immediate crisis demanded attention.

His gaze shifted towards Liu Sheng.

"What? You dare lay hands upon an elder? You've only just reached the Eighth Layer of the Peak, how formidable can you truly be?"

"Or perhaps you believe your mere Eighth Layer of the Late Stage Dao Realm is enough to intimidate an old man like me?"

Liu Sheng's expression dripped with disdain.

He clearly didn't consider the Li brothers to be any real threat.

"Arrogant!"

Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration, recognizing this as a true colossus of Great Yu.

"What do you think, Elder Brother?"

Li Shen projected his thoughts.

Li Mu was also in a state of indecision. Liu Sheng, one of Great Yu's most powerful figures, remaining here would undoubtedly be a severe blow to their domain.
