I am grinding experience in another world

Chapter 522 - 513 Destruction

"Ghost Gate Secret Method is so important, and it’s really hidden in such a small scripture?" Shang Yang was half-doubtful.

"This scripture is indeed extraordinary," said Chen Mu, his face solemn, "We not only comprehended the Ghost Gate Refining Method from it but also learned other secret techniques."

Shang Yang raised an eyebrow, took the scripture, and flipped through several pages, realizing that its content was indeed profound. A continual look of joy appeared in his eyes.

"What a treasure!"

Chen Mu also revealed a smile, "Once the lord has comprehended the cursing method, we will head to Beyond Heaven."

"No problem." Shang Yang carefully placed the scripture into his waist’s Qipouch and immediately revealed a chilling smile.

He then clenched his right fist, with grey air swirling around it, and violently smashed it down towards the top of Chen Mu’s head.

Boom!

The air exploded, white air waves rolled, and dust scattered in every direction.

"Running quite fast," Shang Yang whispered with a sneer as he withdrew his fist and looked towards a spot fifty meters away.

Chen Mu set down Lü Liang and Lü Thirteen, anger across his face, "I already gave you the scripture that records the Ghost Gate, why are you still attacking?!"

"What scripture? I don’t know what you’re talking about!" Shang Yang sneered coldly.

Chen Mu’s face twitched.

So shameless?

"Aren’t you afraid the scripture I gave you is fake?" Chen Mu was puzzled. Wasn’t this betrayal a bit too abrupt?

"No matter." Shang Yang smiled nonchalantly, "After I kill you, my great-nephew will tell me any secrets willingly."

"Tsk, it seems you never intended to let me live from the start," Chen Mu said, surrounded by black smoke, the corners of his mouth curving upward, "Luckily..."

"Luckily, I had the same idea!"

His entire being suddenly vanished, appearing silently beside Shang Yang, his right fingers joined like a knife, fiercely stabbing towards Shang Yang’s waist.

Clang!

A layer of grey air appeared on Shang Yang’s body, and Chen Mu’s hands were firmly blocked outside the grey air.

Chen Mu’s expression changed.

As expected of the Divine Fetus Yin Spirits, the protective strength of his personal energy is truly formidable!

He flashed immediately, turning into a shadow that rapidly circled Shang Yang.

With both hands shaping like knives, he continuously jabbed and slashed at the vital points all over Shang Yang’s body.

Clang clang clang...

Sparks flew in all directions, a series of dense metallic collisions spreading far and wide.

"Not being a Divine Fetus Yin Spirit yet possessing protective energy similar to the Dharma Aspect Energy, no wonder Lü Laogui left you to guard Feng’an City," Shang Yang said with admiration, and then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, "But this is as far as you go. Yin Soldiers are just Yin Soldiers after all!"

Snap!

Shang Yang’s huge palm suddenly grasped Chen Mu’s wrist, followed quickly by his knee, wrapped in dense gray air, striking fiercely into Chen Mu’s chest and abdomen.

Clang!

With a loud noise, Chen Mu’s body was lifted by the knee strike, arching like a shrimp, breaking through the air, uncontrollably flying towards the clouds.

Before his momentum slowed, Shang Yang’s towering figure suddenly appeared beside him.

His right leg went high up in the air, covered in dense grey air, and a gigantic one-horned beetle shadow flashed behind him.

Bang!

Like a long whip, Shang Yang’s right leg, wrapped in white mist, viciously struck Chen Mu’s back.

Chen Mu flew like a baseball, whistling through the air and fiercely smashing into the ground. A tremendous impact sound echoed, and the land by the River of Oblivion trembled faintly.

A shadow flashed, and Shang Yang appeared next to Lü Liang, wearing a grim smile, "After taking my full-powered strike, that man is undoubtedly dead."

"Nephew, your backing is gone. You know what to do; I don’t need to say it, do I?"

Lü Liang’s face turned pale, dumbstruck as a wooden chicken.

Shang Yang couldn’t help but grin.

But before his smile fully bloomed,

a soft sound came from not far behind.

Shang Yang’s expression froze, and he quickly turned his head, only to see a figure slowly emerging from the dusty pit in the distance.

"Is this the true power of the Divine Fetus Dharma Aspect?"

Chen Mu’s clothes were spotless, and not a single hair was out of place.

"You’re quite far from Li Wuyou," Chen Mu said with a mouth wide open, revealing a chilling smile.

He suddenly vanished from his spot, and the next moment, he appeared right in front of Shang Yang.

His right knee, wrapped in black smoke with silver star spots, blazed in front of him as the phantom of the Five Dragon Dharma Body suddenly manifested in the air behind him.

As if history was repeating itself, Chen Mu’s knee fiercely struck Shang Yang’s midsection.

More importantly, he needed to know how these people managed to conceal their presence.

Chen Mu looked down at Shang Yang, who was unconscious at Lü Liang’s feet.

Before this man descended from the sky, he had detected nothing, had the bald head really evaded the Truthful Listening Technique’s surveillance?!

...

"It’s an Extinguishing Breath Stone."

By evening, next to the River of Oblivion, inside a new, spacious and bright stone house,

sitting on the left side of the square table, Shang Yang spoke softly. While speaking, he took out a dark, egg-sized goose stone from his sleeve and placed it on the middle of the square table.

"This was provided by a spy from Qingyang City. It should be a certain spy’s innate divine power, capable of concealing presence."

An Extinguishing Breath Stone?

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, focusing on the cracked stone.

Soon he saw a feather-like pattern on the surface of the pitch-black goose stone.

Upon closer inspection, he realized within each fine feather of that feathered pattern were even more intricate pathway patterns.

As he watched, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

"A mere triad Light Law Prohibition?"

Chen Mu couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

Yin Spirit Divine Power truly was unreasonably powerful, a common divine skill that could conceal one’s aura as if it were a Forbidden Law.

However...

"Surely, this small piece of stone alone can’t block the energy of your Divine Fetus Yin Spirit, right?" Chen Mu disbelieved.

"I also employed my unique Secret Technique on seventy-three acupoints, sealing my own power and reducing my aura."

"Moreover, they give me a new one every day, rotating them out, which is how I’ve been able to evade the Secret Technique’s detection for so long."

Shang Yang, with a bruised and swollen face, honestly confessed.

He had no choice but to be honest.

He couldn’t defeat them!

"You used this thing to conceal the aura of the River of Oblivion, helping Li Wuyou reach the Ghost Gate?" Chen Mu asked with a dark face.

"I didn’t know, I just took the Extinguishing Breath Stone from them," Shang Yang hurriedly waved his hands to deny.

"I really did want to seize the Ghost Gate and go to Beyond Heaven, the matter of sabotaging the Ghost Gate has absolutely nothing to do with me!" He kept shaking his head, his bald head covered in purple bruises shaking like a rattle-drum.

He explained with a wry smile on his face, "Lord Lv of Qingyang City has been trapped defending the Yin God realm for hundreds of years; he seems to have comprehended some Secret Method from the origin stele, and to become the Ghost King, he wants to practice the art using people."

"The blockade of Feng’an City was aimed at Lord Lv. If I didn’t run, I would have been captured by him sooner or later."

"I truly desired to seize the Ghost Gate to head to Beyond Heaven."

Abducting people to practice the art? A Ghost King?

Chen Mu suddenly realized; no wonder they had surrounded without attacking, they indeed had schemes against Lord Lv!

"So, if we start repairing the Ghost Gate, Qingyang City will definitely send someone to cause trouble?" Chen Mu’s expression turned ugly.

Shang Yang carefully observed Chen Mu’s expression but couldn’t help but nod reluctantly.

Chen Mu couldn’t help clenching his fists at once.

They were trying to trap them to death on the banks of the River of Oblivion.

"If that Lord Lv successfully advances to Yin God and returns, can he relieve our current predicament?"

"It might be a bit difficult?" Shang Yang shook his head, "Lü Laogui has already reached the Perfection of Yin God; he probably has some means to suppress a newly ascended Yin Spirit."

Chen Mu’s expression grew uglier, and he glared fiercely at Shang Yang.

"Since you need the Ghost Gate, wouldn’t it be better to just cooperate honestly?"

"I’ve already given you the Ghost Gate with all sincerity, what is this fuss about?"

"Now look, with the Ghost Gate destroyed, we’re all doomed!"

Shang Yang felt his blood boiling with unspeakable frustration.

Sincerity and earnestness?

Being earnest and yet showing me that damned Longevity Scripture?

Have you no shame?!

I know it’s wrong for me to want to murder and rob treasures, but aren’t you also scheming and conspiring with the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed?

Damn your so-called sincerity!

Shang Yang cursed inwardly, wishing he could kill this bastard.

Unfortunately, as soon as he came to his senses, he was forced by Chen Mu to recite the Longevity Scripture over ten times.

With the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed inside him, it was hard for him to even make a move.
