Chapter 40：Spear of Heaven

Whoosh!

As Mu Xuyang reached for the treasure spear, a blue figure flew out of the palace gate and appeared on the platform in front of the gate.

The three individuals who had been scared out of their wits by Mu Xuyang's revealed strength quickly bowed respectfully and greeted the young man who had just come out of the gate, "Greetings, Senior Brother Liu!"

The young man, who was referred to as Senior Brother Liu by the three, was named Liu Xinling. He was the most powerful disciple of the younger generation in the Thunderhawk Hall in terms of combat strength. He had fought Lin Dong countless times, and every time he had ended up losing.

"Is this spear yours?" Liu Xinling asked coldly, his gaze fixed on Mu Xuyang after stepping out of the gate.

"Yes, it's mine. Throw it over to me quickly, and I'll let you all leave!" Mu Xuyang said arrogantly.

"This is a weapon intended to assassinate me. If you want me to hand it over, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so," Mu Xuyang sneered disdainfully.

"Good, good. You've got guts, daring to hold onto my things. You're just looking for death," Liu Xinling snorted coldly and flew towards Mu Xuyang, throwing a punch at him.

As Liu Xinling flew through the air, his figure was as fast as a meteor. In an instant, he had arrived in front of Mu Xuyang and slapped out a burst of golden energy that was powerful enough to block off an area of more than a dozen meters, enveloping Mu Xuyang within it.

The moment Mu Xuyang's body was enveloped by the golden energy, Liu Xinling transformed his palm into a claw and grabbed at Mu Xuyang's head.

"A person at the level of Law Power Realm is indeed much more difficult to deal with than someone at the Body Refinement Realm or Manifestation Realm. The magic power released can seal the space around the opponent, making it impossible for the opponent to move or dodge and putting them in a passive situation of being beaten up. Unfortunately, the golden energy you applied to me is too limited, and it can't hold me back at all. I can see that you're trying to kill me. Since you've decided to make your move, don't blame me for being ruthless," Mu Xuyang sneered as he saw Liu Xinling's eagle-claw-like hand attacking and directly wielded his long spear, thrusting out twenty-four phantom images to attack twenty-four critical points on Liu Xinling's body.

"What kind of spear technique is this? A single thrust can attack twenty-four critical points simultaneously. Could this be the highest level of the advanced spear technique martial skill 'Phantom God Spear'?" Liu Xinling had just come into contact with advanced spear techniques, and the advanced spear technique he had chosen to practice was exactly the 'Phantom God Spear.' This made him very familiar with the various attacking moves contained in Mu Xuyang's thrust.

When he saw the twenty-four figures brandishing their spears and rushing towards him, Liu Xinling was taken aback. He quickly stopped his attack and retreated at high speed, landing back on the platform, thus avoiding Mu Xuyang's attack.

"Are you still fighting?" Mu Xuyang didn't pursue his advantage after forcing Liu Xinling back with a shot. He knew very well that his martial arts skills and speed were almost on par with Liu Xinling's. While he could dominate his opponent in a fight, Liu Xinling was already a practitioner of magic and could not only fly on his treasure but also launch long-range attacks with spells. Although he wouldn't lose in a battle with Liu Xinling, it was unrealistic to expect to defeat him.

"You're quite skilled, no wonder the elders of the sect took notice of you and made an exception to accept you as a disciple. However, your cultivation level is too low to fly with your treasure. Next, I'll use my advantage of higher cultivation level to launch long-range attacks against you with spells. Let's see how you handle it." Liu Xinling sneered and took out another long spear from his storage bag, then flew to Mu Xuyang's head with the help of his treasure and released a gold elemental power that condensed into flying knives with golden light, shooting towards Mu Xuyang.

"Your spell is more than enough to deal with cultivators at the Body Refining and Nascent Soul realms, but it's unrealistic to use it against me." Mu Xuyang was not alarmed by the flying knives that were condensed with gold elemental power and shot towards him. He swung his long spear, smashing all the flying knives into pieces, and dispersed them into golden elemental power.

"Not bad, but that spell was just an appetizer. It won't be so easy to handle the next one. Spear of the Heavenly Breaker, come out and strike hard!" Liu Xinling was surprised to see Mu Xuyang easily dissolve his spell attack. He didn't think that he had an absolute advantage in cultivation level and that his opponent couldn't fly. However, he thought that Mu Xuyang was in a passive position and unable to defeat him.

As Liu Xinling's voice fell, a burst of golden elemental power spewed out from his body, forming a spear that released a bright golden light above his head. Then, he wielded it with the help of his hand seals, and under his control, it whistled and stabbed towards Mu Xuyang.

The Spear of the Heavenly Breaker emerged, and Nie Yifan and Ao Qing, who were not far from Mu Xuyang, were directly hit by the oppressive force contained in the golden light and fell to the ground, unable to move.

"Although the Spear of the Heavenly Breaker is powerful, it consumes a lot of magical power. With your cultivation level in the late stage of the magical power realm, you can only use this spell once at most. Since you're so arrogant, thinking that you can defeat me by using this spell, you've overestimated yourself and underestimated my abilities. When your magical power is exhausted, and even your ability to fly is lost, I'll see how you deal with the next crisis."

Since Mu Xuyang learned about the mysterious thing that existed in his mind, which could be the "Qimen" treasure he designed, he knew that ordinary spells and attacks posed no threat to him. Instead, they would help the mysterious thing in his sea of consciousness grow.

When he saw the spear condensed from the power of gold coming to kill him, Mu Xuyang did not dodge but leapt up directly, wielding his spear and thrusting it towards the spell's power spear that was attacking him.

Bang!

Mu Xuyang's spear hit the spell's power spear, and there was a deafening explosion. Then, everyone present saw the spell's power spear immediately collapse, turning into a powerful gold force that swept towards the surrounding space.

Mu Xuyang, who had destroyed the spell's power spear with his spear, was also immediately engulfed by the powerful force of gold. Nobody knew whether he was alive or dead.

"You used most of the spell's spear condensed from the magic power in your body. Its power is tremendous. Even a mountain would be leveled to the ground. I don't believe that you can survive under such a powerful attack. You intend to steal my treasure, which means you are in the wrong. Even if I kill you, the sect will only punish me with a few years of confinement." When he saw Mu Xuyang's figure being engulfed by the power of gold, Liu Xinling immediately showed a cold smile on his face.
