Chapter 546: Chapter 493: Deep into the Mysterious Territory_1

Xu Mu had barely flown far when he suddenly felt a strong presence coming from ahead.

A chill went down his spine, and he quickly concealed his aura, hiding behind a large boulder.

Soon enough, a huge demon appeared within his sight.

The demon was tall, several tens of meters high, and it exuded a powerful aura that seemed to make the air tremble.

It had a pair of giant wings, each feather as sharp as a sword, shimmering with cold light under the sun.

The demon’s eyes glowed like two burning flames, as if they could melt everything around them.

Xu Mu was secretly surprised. This demon’s cultivation was definitely not inferior to his own, even more formidable.

With great caution, he observed the demon, trying to find its weaknesses.

However, the demon seemed incredibly alert. A powerful pressure emanated from it, enveloping everything around.

Knowing he could not linger, Xu Mu instantly made himself invisible, quietly leaving the place.

But as Xu Mu fled, the demon suddenly sensed something. It let out a sky-shattering roar, exuding an intense aura as it chased after Xu Mu.

Feeling the terrifying presence behind him, Xu Mu knew he had been discovered. He immediately stimulated his mana, attempting to escape as fast as he could.

But the demon’s speed was incredible. It caught up quickly, its gigantic wing thrusting through the air, sending a violent gust towards Xu Mu.

Xu Mu dared not resist the gust directly and immediately deployed a skill to defend himself.

By this time, the demon had already flown overhead. Its giant claws furiously swooped down towards him.

Xu Mu sidestepped the attack and simultaneously retaliated.

Although his cultivation was inferior to the demon’s, Xu Mu’s agility and skills were extremely formidable. For a moment, the battle was at a standstill.

The demon did not seem eager to attack, it was employing a guerilla strategy, trying to exhaust Xu Mu’s mana.

Realizing the demon’s tactics, Xu Mu immediately started to take the initiative in attacking.

With his body enlarged, a giant battle-axe appeared in his hands, swinging it fiercely towards the demon.

The demon was taken aback, it hadn’t expected such an aggressive attack from Xu Mu. However, it reacted quickly, letting out a loud roar and throwing two heavy punches at Xu Mu.

Without any attempt to ram into the punches, Xu Mu evaded them and followed up with another attack.

His combat experience was vast. Throughout the fight with the demon, his attacks and defense were calculated and impeccable.

The demon, overwhelmed by Xu Mu’s relentless attack, was momentarily unable to retaliate with full strength.

During the intense fight, Xu Mu gradually discovered the demon’s weakness.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, he swung the battle-axe in his hand, sending a massive energy blade flying towards the demon.

Although the demon managed to dodge the critical hit, it was still struck. It shook its giant wings violently, shattering the energy blade.

But now, Xu Mu had already stepped in close, launching a flurry of attacks on the demon with his battle-axe.

The demon tried hard to resist but was still struck multiple times by Xu Mu, spurting out fresh blood.

Letting out a mournful roar, the demon seemed to understand that it can no longer resist Xu Mu’s attack and immediately turned around to escape.

Xu Mu wouldn’t let it escape easily and immediately launched a pursuit.

Not far away, disciples from other sects saw the scene and cheered.

They had witnessed Xu Mu’s strength and courage and admired him greatly.

Xu Mu pursued relentlessly and soon caught up with the demon.

He swung his battle-axe down fiercely, decapitating the demon directly.

Just as Xu Mu decapitated the demon, there came a commotion from not too far away.

He turned to see several disciples from other sects hurriedly rushing over.

Among them, one even charged directly at him, a deadly glow emitting from the sword in his hand.

A cold sneer appeared on Xu Mu’s face, anticipating such a situation. So, he calmly took a step back without any change in his expression.

At this moment, the disciples had already rushed in front of him, one even launching a direct attack on him.

Xu Mu sneered, with a swift strike of his battle-axe, a powerful energy blade was launched at the disciple.

The disciple did not anticipate Xu Mu’s move. He was struck directly by the energy blade before he could react.

He screamed as he was struck by the energy blade and sent flying back.

The other disciples, seeing the situation, all took a step back, looking at Xu Mu with fear.

Xu Mu coldly swept his gaze over them and said, “I killed this demon. Who wants to snatch it?”

The harsh stare made them feel uncomfortable, each retreating a few steps back.

One of them hesitated and then said, “Why be petty brother? Although you killed the demon, we also contributed. We should share the benefits.”

“Exactly, we don’t want to be your enemy. We are all sect disciples; we should cooperate and help each other,” another chimed in.

Xu Mu silently sneered. It seemed these disciples wanted to pretend to negotiate before attacking him.

Xu Mu scoffed. He certainly wouldn’t tolerate these disciples trying to steal his hard-earned credit.

With a flash of his figure, Xu Mu suddenly appeared in front of the one who had spoken first. With a brutal swing of his battle-axe, he attacked.
