Thus, after killing Kong Xi, Xiao Mu's attention immediately focused on He Zhuo.

At this moment, He Zhuo hadn't escaped too far.

Xiao Mu immediately manipulated the Cloud of Five Elements and began the pursuit.

A multicolored Cloud Mist appeared beneath Xiao Mu's feet, and his pursuit speed was fast. Initially, there was a distance between him and He Zhuo, but this gap closed in the blink of an eye.

"You... You dare!"

In shock and panic, He Zhuo turned his head to take a glance and saw Xiao Mu pursuing him, his face turning pale with fear.

However, before he could say anything, Xiao Mu had completely caught up.

He reached right behind He Zhuo and struck directly.

The True God Realm condensed, the Domain Suppression Platform appeared, firmly suppressing his own True God Realm. At the same time, the Ruyi Spiritual Light flashed, and the Trinity of God Patterns began to converge.

And simultaneously, Xiao Mu immediately used the Creation Divine Axe.

His True God Realm began to transform, manifesting a slight protrusion resembling the form of an axe.

"I'll fight you!"

Seeing Xiao Mu had already caught up, realizing he couldn't escape, He Zhuo turned back in anger and fear, choosing to confront Xiao Mu head-on.

Boom!

The brilliance of Retribution flickered, and He Zhuo also deployed his True God Realm, gathering the power of the Domain Suppression Platform, opting to confront Xiao Mu head-on. He also started to use the Ruyi Spiritual Light.

The two different Ruyi Spiritual Lights collided in mid-air, True God Realm against True God Realm, both individuals' True God Realms shook simultaneously.

However, Xiao Mu's True God Realm, having cultivated the Creation Divine Axe, was evidently sturdier, resulting in each collision causing He Zhuo's True God Realm to shake violently.

With continuous shaking, He Zhuo's True God Realm began to crack and showed a tendency to be split apart.

He Zhuo's face immediately turned ashen. He finally realized he was no match for Xiao Mu and began to regret descending to this realm.

Boom!

At this time, after experiencing multiple intense collisions, He Zhuo's True God Realm finally couldn't withstand it and was directly shattered by Xiao Mu.

And the moment He Zhuo's True God Realm was broken, Xiao Mu immediately unleashed the Ruyi Spiritual Light, directly targeting He Zhuo's body in a powerful impact.

Bang!

He Zhuo's body, like Xu Ling and Kong Xi, was directly cut in half by Xiao Mu.

Energy Points +40.

He Zhuo's realm was evidently one level higher than Xu Ling and Kong Xi; after Xiao Mu killed him, he directly obtained two more Energy Points.

In the sky, two clouds of mist were rapidly flying this way, hastily coming to support Xiao Mu, it was Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan.

Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan arrived just in time to witness Xiao Mu killing He Zhuo, leaving them stunned.

Based on their long experience battling the Heavenly Court, they immediately recognized who Xiao Mu had killed.

From surveying the entire battlefield, besides He Zhuo, the other two corpses were also recognized by the two; they knew one was Kong Xi, and the other was Xu Ling.

Kong Xi, Xu Ling, He Zhuo, the three of them joined forces, yet all were killed by Xiao Mu. How strong is Xiao Mu's power?

Their expressions changed; they suddenly realized Xiao Mu's strength was far greater than they had imagined.

However, the difference was that Zhu Ke was delighted, while Wang Yuan was terrified.

Zhu Ke's delight was naturally due to having someone as strong as Xiao Mu supporting the Eastern Desolation, making its defense evidently easier.

Wang Yuan's fear was because of his previous conflicts with Xiao Mu, where he had mocked Xiao Mu multiple times.

With Xiao Mu's current display, while shocked, he couldn't help but feel secretly relieved that he hadn't directly clashed with Xiao Mu back then.

Otherwise, if a conflict had really occurred, he doubted whether he could still be alive today.

Thus, he looked at Xiao Mu with eyes filled with unease, beginning to worry about Xiao Mu seeking retribution.

Xiao Mu also noticed Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan arriving, and he let He Zhuo's corpse fall, standing on the cloud's edge and saluting Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan, "Grand Elder Zhu, Grand Elder Wang, you two arrived just in time. Earlier, I encountered three Heavenly Court powerhouses. Do you recognize them? Take a careful look, were these three the ones who attacked you?"

"Grand Elder Xiao's strength is truly formidable, defeating He Zhuo, Xu Ling, and Kong Xi on his own. I'm beginning to doubt whether your strength is really just at the mid-stage of True God. Grand Elder Xiao, aren't you actually at the late-stage of True God?"

Zhu Ke looked at Xiao Mu with a serious expression, from which his thoughts could clearly be discerned.

Wang Yuan's face was dark, unable to say a word.

Xiao Mu's displayed strength surprised him immensely, making him naturally dare not speak recklessly.

Upon hearing Zhu Ke's words, Xiao Mu couldn't help but laugh; he could naturally recognize Zhu Ke's words as indirect praise, and he responded with a smile, "Grand Elder Zhu is joking. I am genuinely at the mid-stage of True God, unambiguously so; advancing to the late-stage is still a long journey ahead."

"Remarkable!"

Zhu Ke didn't hold back on his praise due to Xiao Mu's humility; he even raised his thumb and continued to laud Xiao Mu, "Grand Elder Xiao's strength is incredibly surprising; performing at the late-stage power with mid-stage True God strength. If you ever reach the late-stage True God, I can't even imagine how strong you'd be."

"Haha!"

Xiao Mu laughed, gaining a new understanding of Zhu Ke, realizing he was not only easy to get along with but exceptionally articulate. He laughed again and said, "Grand Elder Zhu, please take a closer look, are these three the ones who attacked you?"

Zhu Ke shook his head, then nodded, "Among these three, only He Zhuo participated in the attack against us. Xu Ling and Kong Xi didn't join."

"Strange, where have these three been hiding? Why did they suddenly appear now?"

He was evidently puzzled by their movements, having guarded the Eastern Desolation but never encountered the Heavenly Court following that attack.

Meanwhile, Xiao Mu had just arrived and was attacked by Feng Ping, whom he countered and killed. Now, not long afterwards, Xiao Mu encountered He Zhuo, Xu Ling, and Kong Xi. Is this too coincidental?

Or maybe Xiao Mu attracts hatred more easily than himself?

Xiao Mu didn't find it strange; he calmly explained, "Feng Ping had landed in the north, maybe by chance. He was out to kill and collect souls, which led to me killing him. As for He Zhuo, Xu Ling, and Kong Xi, they should be seeking revenge for Feng Ping."

"Seeking revenge for Feng Ping? That explains it. But Grand Elder Xiao, your strength truly is impressive. If it were me, they would have succeeded in their revenge."

Zhu Ke finally understood why He Zhuo and the others targeted Xiao Mu; if they were avenging Feng Ping, it all made sense.

But even so, he couldn't help but be shocked by Xiao Mu's strength. He Zhuo and his group arrived well-prepared for revenge.

Yet, despite being well-prepared, they still couldn't withstand Xiao Mu and were all killed, making Xiao Mu's strength undeniably terrifying.

"Grand Elder Zhu overpraises me!"

Xiao Mu modestly accepted, promptly shifting the topic, "Heavenly Court retaliating is quite unexpected for me. But precisely because of this, I feel we can use it to bait out other Heavenly Court powerhouses and capture them all."

"What?"

"What did you say? Bait out the Heavenly Court and capture them all?"

Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan were both astonished, Xiao Mu's words simultaneously rattling both.

This Grand Elder Xiao is audacious; facing the Heavenly Court, while they would retreat, he instead wanted to lure them out.

Is he afraid his opponents aren't strong enough, or worried he won't die quickly enough?
