Chapter 476: Chapter 443 Rainbow Martial Emperor_1
“Who are you? It’s you!”
The three instinctively asked who Xu Mu was, and as soon as they finished their question, they immediately guessed their identities without waiting for Xu Mu’s response.
Anyone who could kill a Martial Saint right under their noses and still look so young could only be Xu Mu. They could not think of anyone else.
Damn! Didn’t they say he was undetectable? He’s already at our doorstep!
The three of them cursed the Snake Scorpion Martial Saint as a fool in their hearts, but what was the use of cursing when the man was already dead.
“Are you three going to make a move on me?”
Xu Mu calmly looked at these three Martial Emperors standing at the pinnacle of the continent, without the slightest fear.
The three Martial Emperors did not answer, exchanging a glance out of the corner of their eyes.
It was the Rainbow Martial Emperor who spoke first.
“We mean no harm to you. We only heard that you have the legacy of the Martial God and wanted to exchange it.”
“Right, we just want the method to initiate a breakthrough. As long as you’re willing to trade, everything can be discussed.” The Silver Wing Martial Emperor said.
He was the oldest and the strongest Martial Emperor among the three.
Their cordial behaviour was naturally due to the fear instilled in them by Xu Mu’s earlier actions.
Before they could ascertain Xu Mu’s exact strength, it was better to exercise caution.
“You three seem to have changed tune quite quickly.”
Xu Mu’s mouth twitched slightly, looking at them as if they were three clowns, which greatly irked the trio.
“With your talent, you will surely become a Martial God in the future. We certainly do not want to offend you. We really want to do this trade.” The Silver Wing Martial Emperor showed a warm smile.
The ability to step back is a sign of strength.
“If you’re sincere about trading, why play such tricks?”
With a flick of Xu Mu’s finger, a wisp of flame emerged, burning a faint white powder at his fingertips.
“Attack!”
The Rainbow Martial Emperor’s face changed slightly, and she immediately issued a cold command.
Their earlier exchange of words was more or less to stall for time, allowing her to poison him.
Of course, if Xu Mu hadn’t noticed and would have peacefully proceed with the trade, that would have been the best situation.
However, having lived for so long, they knew better than to trust anyone on matters concerning the Martial God’s inheritance. They needed to seize and interrogate him thoroughly to completely ease their minds.
No matter what, they would attack sooner or later, it was just a matter of whether they were adequately prepared or not.
Now that Xu Mu had noticed, they could wait no longer.
Success often comes to those who act decisively.
As the words of the Rainbow Martial Emperor fell, it was the always silent Purple Scale Martial Emperor who made the first move. With a gentle stomp of his foot, numerous purple petals started to rain down from the sky. However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that these were not petals, but small scales, sharp as knife edges.
The scales danced around Xu Mu like a finely tuned meat grinder, sealing off all directions.
Xu Mu remained motionless, his hand formed a spell, and a faint golden light enveloped him. The purple scales, which could easily cut through steel, squeaked as they touched the gold barrier, as if they were scratching against metal. Despite using all their force, they could not penetrate it.
“It’s my turn!”
The Silver Wing Martial Emperor leaped into the air, unfurling a pair of silver wings that, when joined together, formed a tremendous blade that sliced viciously towards Xu Mu.
The force of this attack was so intense that it split the ground within a ten-mile radius into two. Its strength was self-explanatory.
Although martial arts in this world are not as mystical as cultivators, in terms of pure attack, they are not inferior to cultivators of the same level. In some respects, they even exceed them.
Crack!
Boom!
Under this powerful attack, cracks appeared all over the golden light around Xu Mu, which then shattered with a loud noise.
Along with the shattering of the golden light, the power of the Silver Wing Martial Emperor’s wing-slash was completely dissipated.
“Great opportunity!”
The Rainbow Martial Emperor’s eyes flashed, and she transformed into a creature with rainbow-colored butterfly wings, antennae sprouted from her forehead, and her body underwent a certain transformation, looking like she was covered in oil paints.
Once the transformation was complete, she hesitated not a bit and turned into a seven-colored rainbow, rapidly swirling around Xu Mu.
The rainbow was like a thin ribbon, wrapping Xu Mu layer by layer, quickly cocooning him in a rainbow-colored cocoon.
Seeing Xu Mu enveloped by the rainbow, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Having sparred with each other countless times, they were well-acquainted with each other’s skills.
The Rainbow Martial Emperor’s rainbow silk was definitely one of the most difficult divine skills to deal with. The only way to counter it was to escape from it as it was closing in, otherwise, there would be no way to break free.
Now that Xu Mu was not only entangled, but also wrapped layer by layer, there was no way he could escape.
“This kid, just because he got a bit of an inheritance, thinks he can look down on us, standing there without dodging or flashing, really brainless!” The Rainbow Martial Emperor couldn’t help but sneer.
From the fact that Xu Mu suddenly appeared without them noticing, it was clear that Xu Mu was extremely fast. She did not have much confidence in trapping Xu Mu just now. Yet, Xu Mu seemed to show no concern for her attacks, allowing her to succeed easily.
“He doesn’t know how powerful you are, Rainbow. He must be regretting it now.” The Silver Wing Martial Emperor stroked his beard, laughing heartily.
Being able to control the opponent without seriously injuring them increased their chances of obtaining His inheritance. From the moves Xu Mu had shown, there was a high probability that he really had gotten the inheritance.
If they could get that inheritance, they might truly be able to break through. Their mood naturally improved.
After breaking through to become a Martial God, one could live up to 500 years.
“I didn’t expect to succeed so easily, saving us a lot of preparation. I’ll let the others know they can retreat.”
The Purple Scale Martial Emperor also wore a smile on his face.
Now that they had caught him with only an irrelevant Martial Saint dead, it was undoubtedly the best outcome.
“Are you three senile? Are these your tricks to catch me?”
A faint voice sounded in their ears, causing them to shudder. Their supposedly inescapable rainbow cocoon was torn apart by Xu Mu like a piece of rotten cloth.
“Impossible!!!”
The Rainbow Martial Emperor gasped, her eyes bulging with shock.
She was well aware of the binding strength of her rainbow cocoon, and considered Xu Mu’s easy escape virtually impossible.
The Purple Scale Martial Emperor and the Silver Wing Martial Emperor were just as shocked, albeit a tad better than the Rainbow Martial Emperor.
“If these are your only tricks, then you can die.”
Xu Mu had no inclination to explain to the three, and he disappeared instantly. The Rainbow Martial Emperor’s body jolted because Xu Mu was already in front of her. She instinctively displayed her divine skill, layering the rainbow-colored silk in front of her, intending to block Xu Mu’s attack.
Rip!
The next moment, the rainbow silk, a hundred times stronger than golden silk, was torn apart by a sharp claw, which without stopping, went straight towards the Rainbow Martial Emperor’s chest.
