Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 987 - 509: What? The Target Is Him! (3)

But it’s the peak of the eighth layer!

Li Shen, having just broken through his realm, remained unstable. If he could leverage the formation, suppressing Liu Sheng would be possible. With both of them working together, their chances of eliminating Liu Sheng here wouldn't be low.

Yet, he appeared so composed... "Do you have any hidden tactics?"

Li Mu pondered internally.

"It seems you have intentions of moving against this old man?" Liu Sheng inquired calmly. He could sense from Li Mu's expression, despite the internal conflict, that acting was indeed the intent.

"How about this?" As Liu Sheng uttered these words, a figure detached itself from his body, manifesting as an identical duplicate before Li Mu's very eyes.

A doppelganger! Chen Xuan's expression turned grim; this clone was also at the late stage of the Dao Realm's eighth layer.

If Li Mu had harbored any thoughts of making a move earlier, they vanished completely at this moment.

The formation could only suppress one individual.

Even if Liu Sheng's main body was suppressed to the late stage of the eighth layer, facing two individuals at the late stage of the eighth layer made the probability of retaining Liu Sheng... extremely slim.

"Liu Sheng, I never imagined you'd bring a doppelganger into the Stone Cave. Are you not concerned about meeting a mutual end?" Li Mu, with his intention to act no longer present, felt significantly more at ease and proceeded to taunt.

"Without such courage, no wonder your Li Family lost its kingdom." Liu Sheng responded with disdain.

The primary reason the Qin Family could annihilate a substantial portion of the Li Family was the Li Family's own internal shortcomings. Consequently, Liu Sheng held no regard for members of the Li Family.

"Hmph!" Li Mu let out a cold snort, his gaze fixed on Liu Sheng with icy eyes.

"Let's depart!" Liu Sheng grew weary of the exchange. He placed a hand on Chen Xuan's shoulder, allowing his doppelganger to escort Chen Xuan away first while he remained to observe the situation.

His doppelganger instantly enveloped Chen Xuan in a beam of light, vanishing from their sight in a flash.

"Do not cause any trouble, or this old man will cleanse this entire area along with others," Liu Sheng stated, before slowly receding into the air.

Li Mu's eyes blazed with fury as he watched Liu Sheng's figure gradually fade into the distance.

"Enough....!" At that precise moment, Liu Sheng's silhouette abruptly materialized behind Li Shen, unleashing a full-powered punch!

"Bang!" With that single, forceful blow, Liu Sheng exerted his complete strength. Li Shen, who had just reached the peak of the Dao Realm's eighth layer, was instantaneously obliterated, scattering into a mist of blood.

"Liu Sheng...." Li Mu's eyes widened in disbelief as he roared, torrents of Spiritual Power surging forth. Simultaneously, two crimson beams of light descended from the heavens; one enveloped Li Mu, while the other shot directly towards Liu Sheng, who had already retreated a thousand meters.

"Hehe!" Liu Sheng chuckled, casually waving a hand and shrouding himself in several spatial rules before vanishing completely.

The red beam then impacted the bluestone ground below.

"Boom!" Dust billowed upwards, and the entirety of the royal city trembled.

At this juncture, Liu Sheng's form reappeared before Chen Xuan. "Hahaha... Slew a peak of the Dao Realm's eighth layer, let's go!" He directly encompassed Chen Xuan, and his doppelganger rejoined his main body.

Instantly, they transformed into a streak of light, soaring towards the Chasm.

"Kid, your Rule of Space has made a significant contribution this time!" "Your audacity is truly remarkable!"

Chen Xuan could only shake his head in resignation.

When he overheard Liu Sheng requesting him to condense some spatial rules, he had suspected a significant scheme was brewing, though he initially believed it was merely for a surprise attack.

He never anticipated such a grand ploy: feigning departure, then utilizing the rule of space for a sneak assault precisely when Li Mu and his brethren let their guard down.

It even led to the direct obliteration of Li Shen.

"However, there's one minor issue; the rule of space cannot remain in this old man's possession for too long!" Liu Sheng expressed a slight tinge of regret.

If he could have retained the rule of space for an extended period, the possibilities for amusement would have been endless.

Still not satisfied? Chen Xuan was rendered speechless. Had his rule of space not already been mastered to forty percent, he would have been incapable of transferring the rules directly into Liu Sheng's grasp.

Let alone enabling its use.

But...

"Li Mu must be utterly beside himself, wouldn't you agree?" "Heh heh!"

Liu Sheng suddenly let out a smirk. "More than beside himself; didn't you witness it? His eyes nearly devoured this old man whole."

That was precisely why he had not made a direct move against Li Mu. Li Mu was already in a state of frenzied rage, and with the formation amplifying him to the peak of the Dao Realm's eighth layer, remaining would have undoubtedly resulted in him being suppressed to the late stage of the eighth layer.

Confronting a maddened Li Mu, Liu Sheng admitted to feeling a degree of insecurity.

This was the reason for his swift departure. He avoids engaging with lunatics! He values his own life!

Meanwhile, within the imperial city, Li Mu's every last bit of Spiritual Power abruptly erupted. Each thread of his Spiritual Power became increasingly volatile, wantonly wreaking havoc across the imperial city.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The very ground was torn asunder into abyssal chasms by the unleashed Spiritual Power.

Several grand structures were pulverized by the Spiritual Power, collapsing in successive ruin.

In mere moments!

The entirety of the imperial city was reduced to a desolate wasteland, dust plumes soaring over ten meters high, eclipsing the sun's rays.

At long last!

The bloodthirsty fury in Li Mu's eyes slowly receded, replaced by returning lucidity.

He abruptly raised his head, fixing his gaze towards the direction of the Chasm, his stare malevolent and terrifying. Even though his entire aura was utterly suppressed at this juncture, and his Spiritual Power fully retracted.

Still, the imperial city was enveloped by a bone-chilling coldness.

Li Mu slowly shut his eyes, his mind replaying the harrowing image of Li Shen being obliterated by Liu Sheng's singular punch, his features contorting once more in anguish.

After meticulously plotting for countless years, even achieving his ultimate ambition.

Li Shen had ascended to the zenith of the Dao Realm's eighth layer, and henceforth, the Stone Race would be under the dominion of his Li Family. Yet, in the end.....

"Ah——"

Li Mu could no longer contain his anguish, letting out a furious roar. He desperately needed an outlet, fearing that he would succumb to madness otherwise.

After a considerable duration!

He finally managed to regain his composure.

Drawing a deep breath, his very appearance underwent a transformation, assuming the likeness of the Great Ancestor.

Initially, with Li Shen, who had supplanted the Second Ancestor's position, in charge, managing the Stone Race would have been far simpler. After all, Li Shen was intrinsically of the Stone Race, with only his Divine Soul being usurped.

But that was no longer feasible. He had no choice but to undergo this transformation himself. Though fraught with peril, it was the sole viable path given the current circumstances!

To the Chasm!

A radiant beam of light ascended, hurtling towards the main encampment of the Human Race!
