Chapter 136: Imperial List Powerhouses

With the emergence of "Claws Piercing the Sky," three peak Ninth Stage Imperial Realm martial artists were taken out simultaneously. With such strength, even challenging the lowest rank on the Imperial List would require considerable effort.

But in just a moment, the sounds of battle abruptly ceased, and two figures swiftly approached, causing Mu Rongyi's expression to darken to the extreme.

Though they were far away, he could sense that these two were not from the Pill Saint Palace.

In other words, "Claws Piercing the Sky" and his group failed to defeat their opponents and were instead annihilated.

Even Mo Qingqing furrowed her brows slightly, a trace of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

Mu Rongyi, bringing these people here, knew their strengths well. Though "Claws Piercing the Sky" was not an Imperial List powerhouse, he was close to that level. If their rankings were doubled, "Claws Piercing the Sky" would undoubtedly make the list.

For such individuals to be unable to even momentarily stop their opponents and be directly annihilated was shocking.

Who were these newcomers, ranked so highly on the Imperial List?

"Uncle Li."

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared by Mo Qingqing's side, his expression vigilant as he stared ahead, causing a slight tremble in Mo Qingqing's heart.

Mo Li, one of the elders of the Wan Dao Sword Sect, at the peak of the Imperial Realm, ranked sixty-fifth on the Imperial List.

Now that he had shown up, could it be that the newcomers were targeting the Wan Dao Sword Sect? Were they trying to seize the Wheel of Reincarnation?

Was Mu Rongyi just a pawn in their game?

"Uncle Feng."

However, Mu Rongyi didn't dwell on it, speaking softly instead.

Instantly, a middle-aged man appeared seemingly out of nowhere, rising into the air to confront the newcomers.

Mu Rongyi's Fourth Elder, Feng, ranked sixty-sixth on the Imperial List, was evenly matched with Mo Li. 

"Who dares to kill members of my Pill Saint Palace? Are you trying to provoke us?"

Mu Rongyi's voice echoed across several miles, clearly reaching Ye Chen and the others as well as those who were trying to watch from a distance.

"It's Mu Rongyi, an Imperial List powerhouse. It seems these two are going to be stopped."

Mu Rongyi's appearance shocked the crowd, and their expectations for Ye Chen and the others diminished. However, their astonishment couldn't be hidden:

"I have to say, these two are really strong, winning three consecutive matches and defeating even peak Ninth Stage Imperial Realm martial artists in an instant."

"What's even more terrifying is how young they are. When did such geniuses appear in the Nine Hades Realm?"

"Even if they lose to an Imperial List powerhouse, it's still honorable."

"Are they really going to lose?"

Suddenly, someone expressed a different opinion, instantly drawing attention and even disdain: "With Imperial List powerhouses involved, how can they win?"

"Have you not heard any rumors lately?" The person spoke softly, perplexing the others.

Rumors? What rumors?

"Are you talking about... the Lower Three Hades?!" In the next moment, someone's expression changed drastically, and more and more people recalled those rumors, their faces turning pale.

The rumors of the Lower Three Hades spoke of a stunning talent who, at only seventeen years old, had first annihilated the Northern Cold Palace and then exterminated all the elites of the Purple Sky Sect and the Golden Cicada Sect, single-handedly dominating the Lower Three Hades, where everyone submitted to him.

This news not only shocked the Lower Three Hades but also spread like wildfire, reaching other regions.

However, when people from other regions learned about it, they mostly scoffed, refusing to believe it.

After all, such a dazzling figure had not appeared in thousands of years in the Nine Hades Realm, not even in the most prestigious cycles of the Wind and Clouds List.

Could such a prodigy emerge in the Lower Three Hades?

Everyone focused their eyes, almost questioning, on Ye Chen.

Could he be the legendary Ye Wujin of the Lower Three Hades?

"Halt immediately, or there will be no mercy!"

Seeing the two figures not slowing down, Mu Rongyi's expression darkened further, icy and chilling. With a flick of his wrist, a long spear appeared, thrusting directly towards them.

Instantly, spear radiance rained down, each beam carrying endless killing intent, causing the sky to change color and the formidable momentum to kill Ye Chen and the others in an instant.

Mu Rongyi's move attracted a lot of attention, but most were still watching Ye Chen, awaiting his response.

If this person was indeed Ye Wujin, Mu Rongyi would have no chance.

But Ye Chen didn't move. Instead, Qingxue continued to attack, and the Gravity Mountain roared out, tearing through the sky and enveloping the rain-like spear radiance.

The space trembled, almost rupturing, under the terrifying crushing force, sweeping down and causing many spear radiance to collapse one after another, making Mu Rongyi's pupils contract and shocking everyone even more.

"Good Heavens, this maid can actually contend with an Imperial List powerhouse!"

Qingxue's strength exceeded everyone's expectations, shocking all. If she was this terrifying, how formidable was her master?

Could he truly be Ye Wujin of the Lower Three Hades?

"Get out of my way!"

Mu Rongyi roared in anger, and the spear radiance became even brighter, as if a spear dragon appeared, soaring in the sky, once again attacking Qingxue.

At this moment, the rain-like spear radiance converged, and it seemed like a spear dragon was flying in the sky, its imposing aura several times stronger, pressing down forcefully.

The Gravity Mountain began to tremble, Qingxue's speed was hindered, feeling a mighty force surging towards her through the Gravity Mountain, causing her whole person to retreat under the force.

"Dream World — Dream Entry!"

Qingxue suddenly shouted, and the airflow in the space began to fluctuate, an invisible force tearing through the space and rushing towards Mu Rongyi.

In an instant, Mu Rongyi's speed stagnated, the long spear solidified in the air, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face, looking extremely eerie.

At the same time, Qingxue stepped forward, and the Gravity Mountain directly collided with the long spear.

The terrifying impact caused Mu Rongyi's entire body to tremble violently. He suddenly woke up, wanting to counterattack, but found himself powerless. The long spear in his hand bent, almost breaking, and his whole person, like a kite with a broken string, flew backward.

Mu Rongyi was forced to retreat!

This shocked everyone, and there was a moment of silence.

Even Mo Li's pupils constricted, becoming more alert.

His strength was on par with Mu Rongyi's. At this moment, to see Mu Rongyi being forced to retreat, didn't it mean that this woman had the strength to fight him?

If she was indeed here for the Wheel of Reincarnation, the Wan Dao Sword Sect must not be careless.

As for Mu Rongyi

, his expression turned extremely ugly. He came to the Wan Dao Sword Sect to capture Mo Qingqing, but now, he had suffered consecutive defeats. Even Mu Rongyi was at a disadvantage, let alone Mu Feng. It was like being slapped in the face.

Mu Rongyi had never been so humiliated in the Dark Hades.

"Soul attack, you're a peak Dan Emperor!" Mu Rongyi retreated a hundred zhangs before stabilizing his body, his expression solemn as he stared at Murong Xue.

He didn't expect this woman to be a peak Dan Emperor!

"Peak Dan Emperor!"

In the Dark Hades, peak Dan Emperors were few and far between. Even in the entire Nine Hades, there weren't many peak Dan Emperors. This woman was so terrifying?

Mu Rongyi's fame was far-reaching, but he had only reached the middle stage of the Imperial Level when he was nearly thirty years old. In comparison, his glory seemed dim, without any brilliance.
