Chapter 164 The War Begins
"If you still can't arouse my interest, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Young friend Mu, are you perhaps joking with this old man?"
Niu Gao's eyes twitched, and his brows furrowed.
He looked at Mu Shan with a puzzled expression. He had thought that he and Mu Shan had formed some kind of tacit understanding, but it seemed that he was wrong.
Niu Gao asked, puzzled:
"I thought you, like me, were already wary of the person behind it all. Yet here you are, behaving this way? Do you really intend to fight me to the death, only to let someone else reap the benefits?"
"After we entered this Green Wood Secret Realm, we were deliberately separated. In these three mountains and seven valleys, we could originally see one or two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators."
"However, we have been fighting for so long, yet not a single person has come to our aid."
"We've clearly been outmaneuvered, so why waste time on pointless arguments?"
"So that's what you were thinking?"
Mu Shan sneered, his eyes indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about Niu Gao's words.
Then, to Niu Gao's disbelief, he swiftly swung the Heavenly Slaughter Sword and slashed at Niu Gao.
"I thought you wanted to show me some amazing moves, or that you had prepared some kind of surprise for me, but I never expected that you would be just like those chaotic demons and desolate skeletons, nothing but boring."
"In that case, let me see you on your way."
Upon hearing this, Niu Gao wanted nothing more than to curse.
Just as Mu Shan had said, he never held back with that sword strike.
Carrying a fierce killing intent, it suddenly slashed at him!
"You're a madman! You're a madman!"
Niu Gao cursed loudly, not daring to slacken in the slightest. He quickly formed hand seals and used his supernatural powers to fight against Mu Shan.
Fighting is not an option.
Because what this madman said was actually true!
Mu Shan never cared whether there were any ulterior motives behind the secret realm. From beginning to end, all he wanted was to fight him. Even when he was waiting for him to devour Qian Shu's life force to refine the magic sword, he was still waiting for him to do so.
It was all so that he could become even stronger.
Niu Gao had no doubt that if he dared to slack off in the slightest, Mu Shan would immediately lose interest and finish him off.
Supernatural powers collide, and magical powers surge against each other.
In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky. These dark clouds were formed from the evil aura on Mu Shan's body. Only a trace of golden light remained on the ground where Niu Gao was, constantly surging towards the surrounding black mist.
At the mountaintop, Lu Qingyun's view was obscured by the dark clouds, making it impossible for him to see what the two people inside looked like.
However, he was not in a hurry, after all, Niu Gao and Mu Shan were not easy to deal with, and the two of them would not die so easily.
Once the dust settles, he will naturally have his chance to make his move.
Meanwhile, in a certain hall within the secret realm, where Master Qingmu resided.
The silver mirror reflected Lu Qingyun and Niu Gaomushan's images.
It was unclear when it happened.
The rest of the cultivators had completely disappeared from the entire silver mirror.
Master Qingmu took out a blood-red pill, activated his magic incantation, and shouted, "Blood, come! Blood, come!"
A rift suddenly appeared in the sky, and streams of scarlet blood essence flowed from all parts of the secret realm like a crimson ribbon into the hands of Daoist Qingmu.
Seeing this, he immediately activated the Sand Fire again, refining the blood essence of the tens-of-meters-long river into the Blood Curse Pill.
"This pill is extremely dangerous; it will surely kill countless people."
Qian Shu looked at the bizarre Blood Curse Pill and couldn't help but sigh.
"Fellow Daoist's nature is still too pure. Eagles chase rabbits, tigers devour deer; this is the natural order of the world. Those who came to seize opportunities ended up at my hands and were used by me. How can you speak of whether they were dangerous or not?"
Master Qingmu raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"I thought that after experiencing such a life-and-death situation, my fellow Daoist would have undergone some changes in his heart, but I never expected that he could still maintain such a state of mind."
Qian Shu was silent for a moment, then sighed:
"That's not entirely true. It's just that people's hearts are hard to change. They will always feel sorry for these people's fate and harbor resentment."
"However, fellow Daoist, rest assured, I know that these people died because they brought it upon themselves, and I will not criticize you for anything."
