Chapter 54 - 54: 54 How Could You Not Have Dispersed Your Skilli

Translator: 549690339

Seeing that all the martial artists had appeared behind him, Chen Pengyi looked at the distant Mu Changtian and said, “Teacher, it’s really unexpected that, at this point, there is still someone willing to save you.”

“It seems the teacher isn’t as loyal and patriotic as he appears to be on the surface.”

“If the teacher were truly loyal and patriotic, he should commit suicide right now.”

As his words fell, Chen Pengyi kicked off the ground, and his body instantly charged towards Mu Changtian, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

Then he swung his sword.

A white light flashed in front of Mu Changtian.

Just when Chen Pengyi thought Mu Changtian was undoubtedly doomed, suddenly, a force burst forth from Mu Changtian’s body, followed by a mass of gas that enveloped him.

The next moment, Mu Changtian raised his hand and caught Chen Pengyi’s sword blade barehanded.

Witnessing this scene, Chen Pengyi was stunned, even the two grandmasters and the other martial artists who came to kill Mu Changtian were also shocked.

They had heard that the emperor had given Dissipate Power Pills to the males of Duke Mu Residence, and that the men of the Mu Family no longer had any skill in their bodies—now they were at most slightly more robust and a bit stronger than ordinary people.

But the aura emitted by Mu Changtian suggested anything but a lack of skill; he clearly was still a master.

There are differences between masters, and the Great Xia Dynasty had many, but why could Mu Changtian become the so-called Sky King?

It wasn’t just because he had supported the Sum Emperor’s rise to the throne that was so simple; within the Master Realm of the Great Xia Dynasty, there were few who could match Mu Changtian. That’s why he had been able to become the Sky King.

Chen Pengyi, somewhat in disbelief, said, “You… how could you possibly not have dissipated your skill!”

Chen Pengyi’s voice trembled a little. As Mu Changtian’s disciple, he had followed Mu Changtian into many battles and was very clear about Mu Changtian’s strength.

He had thought removing Mu Changtian this time would be a very easy task and would also make the Sum Emperor trust him more, but he had not expected that Mu Changtian had not dissipated his skill.

What a joke!

Mu Changtian was a god of war!

He was known as an invincible existence among masters of the same realm!

When they had arrested the entire Duke Mu family in the Capital City, even the Grandmaster State Preceptor Situ Ce had to take action himself, or else how could the Great Xia Dynasty have easily captured Mu Changtian.

But now they were telling him that Mu Changtian had not lost his skill? Wasn’t this endangering his own life?

Panic appeared on Chen Pengyi’s face, and he knew very well that he was no match for Mu Changtian. If Mu Changtian had not lost his skill, he had almost no chance of winning.

However, at that moment, one of the grandmasters behind Chen Pengyi spoke up, “No! Mu Changtian has not fully recovered his strength! His protective Gang Qi is unstable; at most, he can only exert the strength of a half-step grandmaster!”

After all, they were all masters, and they could tell at a glance whether Mu Changtian’s strength had fully recovered.

And indeed, Mu Changtian had not fully recovered his strength. Although the Great Returning Pill could help Mu Changtian recover his skill, Mu Changtian only needed some time to adjust to return to his peak, but there simply hadn’t been enough time.

Being able to display the strength of a half-step grandmaster was already quite impressive, given there wasn’t enough time for Mu Changtian to recover.

Hearing the words from the grandmaster behind him, the panic on Chen Pengyi’s face was swept away in an instant, replaced by a reckless smile.

“Teacher! You really gave your disciple a fright!”

“Just perfect, as the teacher hasn’t lost his skill, let your disciple experience your strength!”

As he spoke, Chen Pengyi suddenly exerted force in his arms, directly pulling the sword from Mu Changtian’s hand, then swung his blade at Mu Changtian again.

The sharp wind of the sword swept towards Mu Changtian in an instant, but this time Mu Changtian did not take it head-on and instead dodged it.

At the same time, the two Grandmasters behind Chen Pengyi also immediately joined the battle.

Although Mu Changtian was at the end of his strength, they wouldn’t let their guard down until Mu Changtian was dead.

After all, Mu Changtian had been the Sky King of the Great Xia Dynasty. To kill Zhou Wangtian back then, the Great Xia Dynasty even mobilized a Grandmaster.

Now, although Mu Changtian’s skill had declined, he was still not easy to deal with.

Seeing Mu Changtian being besieged by three Grandmasters, Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping rushed over, intending to help Mu Changtian.

The two of them had at most the strength of Ninth Grade, naturally no match for Grandmasters, but they could relieve some of the pressure the other two Grandmasters put on Mu Changtian.

As Mu Xingping and Mu Jingwu joined the fight, the martial artists brought by Chen Pengyi also started to make their move.

Sounds of swords clashing and fierce combat continued to erupt from the inn’s backyard.

Fortunately, the mysterious martial artists dressed in red protected the Mu Family relatives. Although Mu Changtian and the others were being suppressed by three Grandmasters, Chen Pengyi’s people were completely unable to approach the relatives of the Mu Mansion.

However, after all, Chen Pengyi’s side had three Grandmasters, and there were several Ninth Grade experts as well. Those in red were quickly outmatched.

At this moment, Mu Changtian, due to a moment of carelessness, was struck by one of the Grandmasters and stumbled back over a dozen steps until he hit the wall of the courtyard and stopped.

Seeing Mu Changtian injured, Chen Pengyi said with a mocking laugh, “Old man, it seems you’ve really gotten old!”

Hearing this, Mu Changtian snorted and then said, “Chen Pengyi, even if 1 die today, I’ll make sure to take you down with me!”

As he spoke, Mu Changtian’s aura suddenly surged.

Chen Pengyi’s face changed, and he immediately said, “No good, he’s going to use the Blood Ignition Skill!!!”

“Quick, stop him…”

“All… pfft…”

Just as Chen Pengyi wanted his two Grandmasters to stop Mu Changtian from using the Blood Ignition Skill, a sword instantly pierced Chen Pengyi’s body before he could even release his Protective Gang Qi.

Chen Pengyi struggled to turn back, wanting to see who had stabbed him, but before he could, the person who assassinated him stabbed him again from behind.

Everyone present was stunned by this scene.

One of the Grandmasters on Chen Pengyi’s side immediately cursed, “Wei Chao! What are you doing!”

At this moment, Mu Changtian was also dumbfounded; he had been ready to use the Blood Ignition Skill and fight to the death with Chen Pengyi and his men, but suddenly a Ninth Grade martial artist emerged from the crowd and stabbed Chen Pengyi in the back.

What was going on?

How come he couldn’t understand?

Then, one of the Grandmasters on Chen Pengyi’s side immediately thrust his sword at Wei Chao, who had stabbed Chen Pengyi.

Wei Chao’s Qinggong was extremely impressive; in an instant, he used that Grandmaster’s sword to leap onto his shoulder and then again onto the roof.

Grinning at Mu Changtian, Wei Chao said, “Duke Mu, the Blood Ignition Skill shouldn’t be used carelessly! If the Prince sees you’ve been seriously injured, I’m afraid we’ll be punished by the Prince.”

Hearing Wei Chao’s words, Mu Changtian instantly realized that this Ninth Grade martial artist was also one of the Mysterious Prince’s men.

Who exactly was this Mysterious Prince, able to place such an important figure next to Chen Pengyi?

The appearance of Wei Chao deepened Mu Changtian’s curiosity about the Mysterious Prince..
