After a brief consideration, Xiao Mu said, "Brother Li, how about you deal with Eternal Ancestor while I take on Tai Cang?"

"Dealing with Eternal Ancestor, I indeed have a better chance of winning. Alright, let me take on Eternal Ancestor." Li Jiesheng did not insist on facing Tai Cang and nodded in agreement.

"Brother Xiao, what about me? Which one should I take on?" Yu Wen'en asked seriously, and added, "Brother Xiao, don't go easy on me just because I was once defeated by Tai Cang. Even if Tai Cang is stronger than me, it's only by a little. He won't be able to do much to me in a short period of time."

Xiao Mu thought for a moment, "I would like to ask Brother Yu to deal with the gray-bearded woman. Are you confident?"

The reason for this arrangement was mainly due to the issue of strength. Yu Wen'en was slightly weaker, and the gray-bearded woman's strength wasn't high either, so it should not be a big problem for Yu Wen'en.

"Is that a woman?"

Yu Wen'en looked at the gray-bearded woman with a strange expression, then nodded vigorously, "I always thought that was a man. Anyway, however Brother Xiao arranges it, I will do it. I'll take on that strange woman."

Li Jiesheng asked solemnly, "Brother Xiao, you've only arranged for the strange woman and Eternal Ancestor. There are still the two strongest opponents, Tai Cang and Qing Jie, unassigned. How do you plan to arrange them?"

"Tai Cang and Qing Jie, I'll take them on myself. My strength has improved recently. I want to see just how strong these two really are."

Xiao Mu looked eagerly at Tai Cang and Qing Jie, the Thunder God, his tone brimming with confidence.

"Ah~"

Yu Wen'en was stunned on the spot.

"Fellow Daoists, leave the strange woman and Eternal Ancestor to you."

Using Divine Sense Communication, Xiao Mu suddenly stepped forward and charged directly towards the undying temple, roaring, "Tai Cang, Qing Jie, come out and fight!"

"Does Fellow Daoist Xiao not fear death?" Tai Cang chuckled while slowly stepping forward, slightly surprised by Xiao Mu's actions.

Qing Jie, the Thunder God, acted differently from Tai Cang. He roared and rushed out to meet Xiao Mu, taunting, "Xiao Mu, you're courting death, but I will grant you that—give you a chance for death."

Qing Jie, the Thunder God, stopped after only three to four hundred meters out of the temple. He looked up at the sky, where thunder flashed in his eyes, emitting a thunderous rumble.

On his body, the Destiny Point of Retribution suddenly expanded rapidly. From the depths of the mysterious ancient well, the Retribution Lamp flickered with ten rays of retribution brilliance representing past, future, present, unknown, and other aspects.

Crack! Boom!

Terrifying dark thunder exploded around Qing Jie, the Thunder God, and above his head, high in the sky, under the refraction of the Retribution Lamp, dark clouds rapidly gathered, concentrating toward the middle.

"Thunder Strike!"

Qing Jie, the Thunder God, clenched his right hand, and struck with Lei Gong's Thunderous Attack towards Xiao Mu from afar. Boom, a bolt of lightning shot out from Lei Gong's Thunderous Attack, and the sound of thunderbolts suddenly erupted from within Xiao Mu.

Crack, boom!

Xiao Mu's body exploded from the inside, chunks of flesh burst out, emitting a charred stench.

"Scram! Crack!"

Xiao Mu waved his hand and cast a white light of Creation. Qing Jie, the Thunder God's figure instantly disappeared from its position, vanished without a trace.

Xiao Mu used the power of Creation to twist the space, just like what he did with Eternal Ancestor, sending Qing Jie, the Thunder God, to another place.

"Using the power of Creation again, it seems you're set on a one-on-one with me."

Tai Cang watched as Qing Jie, the Thunder God, was sent away, showing no panic, but instead walked leisurely towards Xiao Mu with his hands behind his back.

"Stop acting tough!"

Xiao Mu shouted angrily and attacked Tai Cang directly. With a hum, the Judge Pen flew out from above his head.

Ever since obtaining the Xuan Yang Flame Gold Robe, Xiao Mu's authority had become even more complete, already possessing three of the city god's treasures—the Life and Death Book, Judge Pen, and the Xuan Yang Flame Gold Robe.

"One Stroke of Life and Death! Hiss!"

The city god avatar held the Judge Pen in the right hand and the Life and Death Book in the left, and with a mere flick towards the Tai Cang city god, he followed by erasing the name of the Tai Cang city god—Wu Cang—upon the book with the agate-red Judge Pen.

"The authority is not weak, and there is no shortage of treasures, Xiao Mu, it seems I underestimated you." Seeing Xiao Mu unleash the power of the three divine treasures at once, the Tai Cang city god's pupils contracted slightly, revealing a mix of surprise and suspicion as Xiao Mu's strength had exceeded his expectations.

Buzz!

Although the Tai Cang city god's demeanor remained leisurely, his expression had become much more solemn. With a thought, an avatar of the city god identical to his own appearance materialized above his head.

The avatar of the Tai Cang's city god had complete authority, not only holding the Life and Death Book and Judge Pen in each hand but also wearing a Xuan Yang Flame Gold Crown on his head, Xuan Yang Flame Gold Boots on his feet, and the Xuan Yang Flame Gold Robe on his body. His entire being radiated a golden majestic halo, carrying with him a dazzling golden glow.

This golden glow looked like a sun shining with golden brilliance, dazzling to the eyes.

"Hiss!"

The Tai Cang city god employed the same One Stroke of Life and Death Authority Technique as Xiao Mu. Inside him, a total of eleven points lit up in the city god authority matrix, signifying that his realm had reached the Early Stage of the True God Realm.

Each of the eleven points glowed with Brilliance, connected to each other, and ultimately, the power from all eleven points converged together, turning into a mass of Dark Light. The Dark Light, like a column of water shot from a high-pressure water gun, surged through Tai Cang city god's right hand, flowing directly to his Judge Pen.

As the Tai Cang city god gently tapped his Judge Pen towards Xiao Mu, the ball of Dark Light, like a swift arrow, blasted towards Xiao Mu's body.

Boom! Bang!

The Dark Light released by Xiao Mu's Judge Pen collided with the one released by the Tai Cang city god mid-air, and the power of both authorities exploded in the sky. The blackish light, tinged with Death Qi, exploded spherically outwards, resembling an unparalleled explosion in the air.

Xiao Mu had foreseen this and took the opportunity to shake his Xuan Yang Flame Gold Robe. The authority's power struck the robe, and the deadly Dark Light spread, penetrating the Xuan Yang Flame Gold Robe and rushing into Xiao Mu's body.

Xiao Mu's body began to emit a foul smell, the shadow of death appearing above his head, and suddenly spread at an extremely fast pace towards his feet.

One Stroke of Life and Death, the Authority Technique of the city god, one stroke to sever life from death. When the shadow spreads throughout the body, that is the moment of death. The way to escape is to run as quickly as possible, to flee the range of the death shadow before it spreads across the entire body.

However, Xiao Mu had no intention of fleeing. His body was engulfed with intense thoughts of death, and death was already spreading to his neck, continuing its spread towards his feet.

Far from fleeing, Xiao Mu, with the shadow of One Stroke of Life and Death upon him, used the Five-in-One Escape to charge toward the Tai Cang city god like lightning, bursting out with a thunderous roar from his mouth, "Tai Cang, let's go again!"

The Tai Cang city god wasn't faring well either, at least not much better than Xiao Mu. While using the One Stroke of Life and Death Authority Technique and colliding with Xiao Mu's stroke, faced with the impact of Xiao Mu's One Stroke of Life and Death, Tai Cang city god chose to brace with the Xuan Yang Flame Gold Robe, just like Xiao Mu.

However, when the Dark Light struck the Xuan Yang Flame Gold Robe, a thunderous roaring sound ensued, followed by the Tai Cang city god being thrown out uncontrollably like a common man hit by a cannon, his entire body flying out like a shattered stone.

A 'crack' sound of bones breaking came from his chest; his sternum completely collapsed, his front pressing tightly against his back. Xiao Mu's One Stroke of Life and Death Authority Technique contained terrifying immense strength, instantly causing him serious injury.

"What... What kind of Authority Technique is this?" Tai Cang city god was shocked. He couldn't understand how besides authority, Xiao Mu's One Stroke of Life and Death could carry such a terrifying assault, like a Divine Weapon standing tall.

"Tai Cang, let's go again!"

Xiao Mu erupted with another thunder-like roar, charging at the Tai Cang city god once more, swinging the Judge Pen to draw a large black X in the air towards the Tai Cang city god.

The Gates of the Underworld open!

Wu wu!

The gates of the Underworld were about to open, and woeful wails were already emanating from the Netherworld.

"Xiao Mu, you're not afraid to die!"

Seeing Xiao Mu allowing death to spread unrestrained, the injured Tai Cang city god was immensely surprised. He was stronger than Xiao Mu in both realm and authority—his authority neutralized Xiao Mu's, yet his injuries left him worried.
