Chapter 553: Chapter 492: Extremely Dangerous

"Old Dog Chu, you forced my hand!"

Seeing that Chu Xuanji was unfazed by his threat, Wu Mu, like a cornered mad dog with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression, roared furiously, "Even if I die, I’ll take your disciple down with me!"

As his roar subsided, a terrifying Mind Power burst forth from Wu Mu’s forehead, silently shooting toward Ye Fan.

Mind Attack!

Wu Mu had half a foot in the Peak of Gang Qi, his consciousness far stronger than Ye Fan’s. His Mind Power Attack was terrifying; even cultivators at Innate Great Perfection who lacked Martial Arts Will found it hard to resist.

Yet Ye Fan was only at the Peak stage of Innate, so in his view, using Mind Power to kill Ye Fan was as easy as flipping his hand.

In an instant, the terrifying Mind Power that Wu Mu stimulated shot into Ye Fan’s forehead, rushing towards his consciousness.

Hmm?

Even though Ye Fan had already prepared to resist after hearing Wu Mu’s earlier roar, Wu Mu’s Mind Power was overwhelmingly powerful. As soon as it entered his body, it caused his consciousness to tremble.

"My mind is as unyielding as a rock!"

At this critical moment, Ye Fan immediately pushed his own will to the limit, forming an invisible fortress to protect his consciousness, allowing his originally trembling consciousness to stabilize.

At that moment,

Wu Mu’s Mind Power, like a torrent, silently struck against Ye Fan’s consciousness.

Upon collision, the fortress formed by Ye Fan’s will instantly shattered, his consciousness trembling severely, and his face turning somewhat pale!

"What’s happening?"

"Why hasn’t the Crimson Golden Crown appeared?"

Ye Fan had assumed the Crimson Golden Crown would appear as usual to help him resist the Mind Attack and counterattack the opponent when his consciousness was under severe attack.

Seeing that the Crimson Golden Crown hadn’t appeared, he was shocked and a panic arose.

The panic was momentary; Ye Fan dared not place all his hopes on the Crimson Golden Crown but quickly eradicated any distractions in his heart and reaffirmed his Martial Arts Will to guard against Wu Mu’s second Mind Attack.

Whoosh!

Simultaneously, Chu Xuanji’s expression suddenly changed!

Having witnessed Ye Fan resisting the Heavenly Tribulation and the power of the Crimson Golden Crown within Ye Fan’s body, Chu Xuanji hadn’t been worried that Wu Mu’s Mind Attack would severely injure or even kill Ye Fan.

But now,

seeing that there was no golden light on Ye Fan’s forehead and instead his face was somewhat pale, Chu Xuanji realized that the Crimson Golden Crown hadn’t helped Ye Fan resist Wu Mu’s Mind Attack!

"Wu Mu, you bastard, you’re courting death!"

Amidst his shock and concern, Chu Xuanji dared not let Wu Mu continue his Mind Attacks on Ye Fan. He roared loudly, his consciousness moved, and once again, he maneuvered the Xuanye Flying Blade to assassinate Wu Mu.

Besides, he once again accelerated to his limit, bursting towards Wu Mu with a murderous aura.

"Old Dog Chu, I’ll give you one last chance, either stop or collect your disciple’s corpse!"

Wu Mu, both astonished and pleased by Ye Fan’s ability to resist his Mind Attack, was shocked by the strength of Ye Fan’s will among cultivators of the Innate realm, but pleased that, while Ye Fan had resisted, it was clearly very strenuous and even slightly injurious - something likely to instill some fear in Chu Xuanji.

Sure enough, upon hearing Wu Mu’s words again, Chu Xuanji’s eyebrows instantly knitted together, his worry unmistakable.

At this moment, although he held a clear advantage, he couldn’t kill Wu Mu in an extremely short span.

And Wu Mu could take this opportunity to continue his Mind Attacks on Ye Fan!

In Chu Xuanji’s view, if the Crimson Golden Crown inside Ye Fan suddenly failed, Ye Fan, with his level of will, would find it hard to resist another Mind Attack from Wu Mu.

"Master, just go ahead and kill him, I can handle it!" Ye Fan shouted urgently as he saw Chu Xuanji slowing down.

Although he didn’t know why the Crimson Golden Crown failed to appear, based on past experiences, he still believed that if his consciousness faced destruction, the Crimson Golden Crown should appear.

Alternatively, even if the Crimson Golden Crown didn’t appear, he was confident in resisting Wu Mu’s Mind Attack once more!

After all, not only did he practice Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, but his will far surpassed that of other cultivators in the same realm. Moreover, he had undergone rigorous willpower training, especially during the last Heavenly Tribulation, which had significantly strengthened and solidified his will to a level comparable to that of a Half-step Gang Qi realm cultivator!

"Okay!"

Chu Xuanji, unaware of Ye Fan’s actual situation, thought Ye Fan was using this opportunity to train his will, deliberately not using the Crimson Golden Crown. His worry instantly vanished.

With his concerns gone, Chu Xuanji once again pushed his speed to the limit, transforming into a ray of light, chasing after Wu Mu.

"You little beast, since you want to die, I’ll grant your wish!!"

Wu Mu was completely enraged. If he had underestimated Ye Fan and hadn’t used his full strength before, this time, he was truly intent on killing!

As his words fell, he once again stimulated his Mind Power, but did not launch the attack immediately, instead continuously compressing the Mind Power.

"Die!!"

After compressing nearly half of the Mind Power in his Mind Power Seed, he launched another Mind Power Attack at Ye Fan, this time several times stronger than before, determined to kill Ye Fan with a single blow!

Whoosh!

Facing Wu Mu’s frightening strike, before the compressed Mind Power could even slam into Ye Fan’s consciousness, merely entering his body caused his will to start disintegrating, his consciousness trembling nonstop!

It felt as though a mouse had seen a cat, his mind completely enveloped by a sense of impending death!

"No!"

"I can’t back down!"

"Block it!!"

In this critical moment, Ye Fan didn’t rely on the Crimson Golden Crown, instead desperately reaffirming his own will, trying to withstand Wu Mu’s Mind Attack with his own strength.

The next moment.

The terrifying mind power silently crashed upon Ye Fan’s consciousness.

Ye Fan’s will had resisted for less than a second before it completely collapsed.

With the resistance of the will gone, that terrifying mind power breached his defenses like a flood, rushing into Ye Fan’s consciousness and destroying it.

"Ahhhh..."

Ye Fan felt as if his consciousness was being ground up, his head splitting in pain, his face contorted, and he screamed uncontrollably.

"Xiao Fan!!"

Hearing Ye Fan’s scream by his ear and seeing him in excruciating pain, Chu Xuanji’s expression drastically changed, and he swung a punch toward Wu Mu!

This punch, delivered by Chu Xuanji in a rage and with no reservations, was a direct strike of "Qi Rushes to the Sky" at the ninth layer!

"Whoosh!"

A terrifying Gang Qi burst out from Chu Xuanji’s punch, turning into a beam of light, and swiftly bombing toward Wu Mu.

"No!!"

A sensation of death completely enveloped Wu Mu, giving him an inevitable feeling of doom — no matter how he tried to dodge, he couldn’t avoid Chu Xuanji’s punch!

However—

Driven by an intense unwillingness and the desire to survive, he frantically manipulated the magic in his flying boat!

"Swoosh—"

In the blink of an eye, Wu Mu abruptly shifted sideways, his speed suddenly increasing as he streaked across like a beam of light.

"Snap!"

The Gang Qi from Chu Xuanji’s punch passed where Wu Mu had just been, shattering the afterimage he left behind!

"Haha... Hahahaha... Hahahahaha!"

Having dodged Chu Xuanji’s lethal attack, Wu Mu started laughing wildly as if invigorated, "Peak of Gang Qi! I finally broke through to the Peak of Gang Qi! Chu Xuanji, I really have to thank you! Without your relentless pressure, I wouldn’t have broken through so quickly!!"

Whoosh!

Chu Xuanji’s expression changed again!

Originally, Wu Mu was just half a step from the Peak of Gang Qi but now, in a moment of crisis, he had made a breakthrough, increasing his strength several folds!

Given this, even possessing the Black Iron Set, Ghost Ring, and Xuanye Flying Blade, it would be very difficult for him to kill Wu Mu now!

After all, Wu Mu had a top-grade High-level Magic Artifact, Soul Summoning Banner, and a Mid-level Magical Artifact, Flying Boat!

"Swoosh—"

Realizing all this, although Chu Xuanji was furiously enraged, he did not continue attacking Wu Mu but instead, darted toward Ye Fan in a flash.

Ye Fan had taken Wu Mu’s horrifying strike, seriously injuring his consciousness with crevices forming that could shatter at any moment.

If it shattered, he would be obliterated both physically and spiritually, turning completely into a living dead!

"I cannot die!"

"I cannot die!!"

Halfway up Martial Saint Mountain, Ye Fan was curled up on the ground, clutching his head, his eyes bloodshot, his face distorted, drenched in cold sweat, desperately holding on with the desire to live and the belief not to give up, preventing his consciousness from completely breaking apart.

"Chu Xuanji, I have to admit, the will of this disciple surpasses my imagination, but... his life ends here!"

After breaking through and enhancing his strength, Wu Mu no longer feared Chu Xuanji, instead he burst with confidence, and seeing Chu Xuanji rushing towards Ye Fan, he knew Chu Xuanji was going to save Ye Fan and sneered immediately.

Swoosh—

After sneering, a new wave of mind power shot from Wu Mu’s forehead and entered Ye Fan’s forehead in a flash.

With the additional mind power from Wu Mu, Ye Fan’s struggles were easily crushed, his beliefs were thoroughly smashed, and the cracks in his consciousness began to spread, spreading out like a spider web.

At this moment, considering Ye Fan’s condition, not to mention an attack from Wu Mu’s mind power, even a single attack from an Innate Mage would completely destroy his consciousness!

Just then...

The previously absent Crimson Golden Crown appeared!

The Crimson Golden Crown turned into a golden vortex, instantly absorbing Wu Mu’s mind power and vanishing it into nothingness.

Immediately after, a drop of golden liquid flowed out from the Crimson Golden Crown, flowing into Ye Fan’s initially shattered consciousness, repairing the damage at a terrifying speed!

"Whew~"

Seeing the dazzling crimson gold light flickering from Ye Fan’s forehead, Chu Xuanji suddenly stopped and took a deep breath.

"What... What’s happening?"

Wu Mu’s face was full of confusion—despite his extensive knowledge, he had no idea what that flickering crimson gold light was.

"Swoosh—"

Without an answer, an almost tangible crimson gold light suddenly shot from Ye Fan’s forehead, carrying a deathly aura, targeting Wu Mu!

This was the first time the mysterious Crimson Golden Crown had launched an attack on its own!
