Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 37: Seeking Death

Whoosh!

A fireball shot out from Xu Mu's fingertips, landing in front of Li Moqing and exploding with a bang, splattering dirt and leaving a fist-sized hole.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what do you mean by this?" Li Moqing stopped in her tracks, her face looking unpleasant.

"Tell the person behind you to leave. He is not welcome here!" Xu Mu said indifferently.

Li Moqing's face slightly changed, and she forced herself to remain calm. "Fellow Daoist Xu, I don't understand what you mean!"

Xu Mu couldn't be bothered with her nonsense. Another fireball shot out, instantly breaking the invisibility technique of the person behind him.

A resentful gaze, dressed in a robe, a face full of killing intent, a young man appeared!

"If you pretend not to know, perhaps you can survive. But now, you can only die!" The young man's voice was cold as frost.

Before his words fell, a fiery red long sword flew out from the storage bag at his waist and shot towards Xu Mu.

"I'll give you a piece of advice too. If you don't make a move, I can pretend I didn't see anything. But since you've made a move, you're bound to die!" Xu Mu flicked his finger, and fire elements quickly gathered in front of him, condensing into a flaming flying sword, colliding with the young man's fiery red long sword.

The two swords tangled and collided in the air, temporarily deadlocked.

"Fire Manipulation Technique? Azure Dragon Sword Art? How is this possible?!!"

The young man was filled with shock.

He didn't find it strange that the other party knew the Azure Dragon Sword Art, as it was widely circulated. Not only the Azure Dragon Sword Art, but the other sword techniques practiced by several other families were not secret techniques, especially at the Qi Refining stage.

What truly shocked him was that the fire sword condensed by the other party's Fire Manipulation Technique could actually contend with his third-grade flying sword.

This was beyond his imagination!

To what extent had this person cultivated the Fire Manipulation Technique?

Could it be the legendary transcendent level?

How could there be such a leisurely person in the world, who actually cultivated a low-level spell to the transcendent level!

Xu Mu had no interest in the young man's shock. He controlled the flying sword that was fighting against the young man and suddenly exploded.

Boom!

The young man's third-grade flying sword was directly blasted away, falling to the ground with a dim light, continuously emitting a buzzing sound, but unable to fly.

"Damn it! This kind of sword can still be used like this!"

The young man was once again deeply shocked.

Before he could take out a new flying sword, Xu Mu's figure had already disappeared from the rooftop, and when he reappeared, he was already above his head, holding a first-grade flying sword in his hand, fiercely slashing down.

Bang!

A layer of white light appeared on the young man's body, blocking Xu Mu's attack from above.

However, under the force of the powerful attack, the young man was still sent flying, directly crashing into a nearby wall, causing it to collapse.

"A third-grade defensive magic weapon!"

Xu Mu frowned slightly, but didn't stop on the ground. The ground trembled, and his figure disappeared once again from the original spot.

"Attack!" The young man shouted loudly.

Li Moqing, who was standing still, finally reacted. He clenched his teeth and showed a fierce expression. He slapped his pocket hard, and several green flying knives flew out, turning into flowing light and shooting towards Xu Mu.

"You don't know your own limits!" Xu Mu said indifferently.

Only to see him stretch his fingers, as if grabbing something forcefully from the void, a blood-colored flame python appeared.

The python opened its bloody mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and shot towards Li Moqing like an arrow, directly knocking away the flying knives along the way.

Terrified, Li Moqing hurriedly cast a protective spell on herself.

By this time, the blood-colored python had flown in front of her. It twisted its body, dodging the attack of the talisman, and entangled her body along with the protective spiritual light.

Crack! Crack!

The powerful entangling force suddenly erupted, the protective spiritual light flickered violently, and shattered with a loud bang.

When the python wrapped her body, Li Moqing felt a terrifying heat, like magma.

"Don't... Ah..."

Just as she managed to let out a scream, Li Moqing's face twisted, and in the blink of an eye, her whole body was burned into a charred corpse.

To put it simply, it only took two breaths of time.

If it weren't for being distracted, dealing with someone like Li Moqing at the third level of Qi Refining wouldn't even take a single breath.

The young man didn't feel any remorse for Li Moqing's death. Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was delayed, he immediately took out several talismans and slapped them on himself, then turned around and ran.

If he played all his cards, maybe he would have a chance to kill Xu Mu, but in doing so, he would expose himself completely, and pursuers would soon catch up.

So when he realized that Xu Mu was difficult to deal with, he decided it was better to leave first.

"Now you want to leave? Dream on!"

Since he had already taken action, there was no possibility of leaving anyone alive.

He didn't want someone lurking in the dark thinking about him every day.

Boom!

Xu Mu's figure disappeared from the original spot!

A dull thunder sounded in his ears, and the young man felt his body uncontrollably being slashed and flew out again.

Just as he was about to get up, another sword fell!

The intense fluctuations of the defensive magic weapon seemed like it would shatter in the next moment.

"Let me go! Let me go! I'll leave right away, I'm from the Song family..."

Crack!

The long sword in Xu Mu's hand, entwined with scorching flames, tore through the void and finally broke the defensive magic weapon. Before the young man could finish speaking, Xu Mu cut his body in half.

"You want to leave at this time? Why didn't you leave earlier!" Xu Mu said coldly.

He didn't want to cause trouble, so he warned the other party to leave.

But the other party wanted to kill him to silence him, so he had no reason to hold back.

"This first-level flying sword is so useless! It took three strikes to break through!" Xu Mu couldn't help but complain as he looked at the flying sword in his hand, which had twisted and deformed due to excessive force.

When his Thunder Sword Art had just reached the perfect stage, he could already break through a third-level defensive spell with a single strike.

Now his Thunder Swordsmanship has reached the level of a grandmaster, and he actually used three swords to break through the third-level defensive artifact.

Although the power of the defensive artifact is much stronger than that of talismans, the gap is still too big.

A good sword really enhances the Thunder Swordsmanship!

If he used the Crimson Gold Sword, maybe two swords would be enough to end the battle.

But to avoid exposing too much, Xu Mu didn't dare to use it.

Even when using the Fire Control Technique, he was very restrained. Otherwise, with a sword of fire, he could turn the two of them into ashes.

He collected the bodies of the two people, along with the fallen flying swords, and took a Qi-replenishing pill to restore his spiritual power before returning to the rooftop to keep watch.

As for the gains, he would look at them later when he had time!

"That young man just now is only in his twenties, and he has already reached the sixth level of cultivation. He must be from a prominent family!"

"He mentioned the Song family, so he must be from the Song family!"

"Unfortunately, the information I obtained doesn't have a portrait, so I don't know which young master of the Song family he is!"

"But I never expected that the Song family would actually become the target of annihilation!"

Xu Mu sighed in his heart.

The Song family used to be the ruler of Baishi Fang City, with power over everyone and the ability to control the lives and deaths of ordinary cultivators. Just the Song family's medicine shop alone made him envious.

But now they were wiped out in the blink of an eye!

Then he thought of the Qinghe Sword Sect.

Compared to the Qinghe Sword Sect, what was the Song family?

The world is ever-changing, who can see through it?

Just as Xu Mu was feeling emotional, three cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, riding flying swords, rushed towards him at high speed.

Xu Mu's face changed slightly.

"Right here!"

The three of them landed from the sky, and one of them holding a compass artifact spoke.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist, have you seen a young man in blue clothes pass by here?"

One of the short, elderly men in their sixties or seventies smiled and asked Xu Mu on the rooftop.

"He went in the direction of Baihe Forest," Xu Mu replied calmly.

"Thank you for letting us know! Let's go!"

The old man turned and said to the other two.

But in the instant he turned around, a thin needle, as thin as a cow's hair, flew out from his sleeve and silently shot towards Xu Mu.

Clang!

Xu Mu swept his long sword and knocked down the hidden black poison needle, his expression cold.

"To be able to detect my Scorpion Tail Needle, you really are something!"

The old man turned around, his face extremely cold under the moonlight.

The other two immediately split up in two directions, surrounding Xu Mu, with flying swords swirling around them and protective spiritual light shimmering on their bodies.

"Ah! I rarely show kindness, why do you insist on seeking death!"

Xu Mu sighed.

He really didn't want to cause trouble!

"Looking for death? Hmph! Aren't you the one who's going to die? Hand over that kid, Song Gui, immediately, and I can give you a quick death!" The old man sneered.

They had three cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage, all of them seasoned warriors. The other side was just a mid Qi Refining cultivator, yet he actually wanted to kill them. It was truly wishful thinking.

Moreover, they had been waiting for so long and finally caught a big fish. How could they let it go so easily?

The young man was an important figure in the Song family, and he must have some precious treasures on him, perhaps even the Foundation Building Pill they had been longing for.

For this, they would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!

Xu Mu couldn't be bothered to argue with them. In order to avoid leaving any survivors, he formed hundreds of blood-red flying knives in an instant and shot them towards the three men simultaneously.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

"Insolent little...!"

Boom!

As the flying knives approached, they suddenly exploded, engulfing the three men, who were filled with astonishment, in a surging blaze.

They probably never imagined that the Fire Manipulation Technique would have such tremendous power.

When everything dissipated, the three men had turned into half-cooked meat paste. Their storage bags were all shattered, and their contents were scattered on the ground. Most of it had turned to ashes, with only one or two magical treasures lying dimly on the ground.

"The power of the Fire Manipulation Technique has indeed greatly increased. It's unlikely that anyone in the Qi Refining stage can withstand it, but it's a pity about the things on them!"

Sometimes, excessive power is not entirely a good thing.

Xu Mu sighed and immediately returned to the house, preparing to leave with the three adults and one child.

The commotion just now was too loud, and it probably attracted the attention of others. It would be troublesome if the Luo family found out.

Although the chances were slim, Xu Mu didn't want to take any risks.

The three people hiding in the house had no idea what had happened outside, only hearing a series of intense explosions.

After Xu Mu called them out and they saw the ruins around them, they were all shocked speechless.

Lan Shijin looked at Xu Mu with a gaze full of suspicion and doubt.

But she was smart enough not to ask too much.

Leng Yue remained silent as usual, while Ye Yingying only cared about whether Xu Mu was injured. Only Xiao Ling'er, upon seeing her father, wanted to hug him carefree.

The unfortunate neighbors whose houses had collapsed nearby pretended not to hear the commotion outside. They would rather be buried in the ruins than make a move!

Raising his hand, Xu Mu released a fire dragon, destroying the house they had lived in for over a year. Xu Mu, along with the three adults and one child, quickly disappeared into the night.

It took a long time before someone poked their head out of the ruins, wanting to see what had happened.

...

The three of them walked a long distance and finally found an abandoned house near the direction of Baihe Forest to temporarily stay in. They would wait until dawn to meet up with the Chi family.

The chaos in Baishi Fang City continued until the next day, with another major explosion occurring in the middle of it, but no one knew what caused it.

The slum area was also affected, and many places turned into ruins. Countless people died overnight.

After daybreak, while the three adults were grooming themselves and feeding Xiao Ling'er, Xu Mu hid in the adjacent room and began sorting through the things he had obtained from the young Song Gui.

As for the corpse, it had long been burned to ashes!

Got it!
