The power of Qi and blood?
A flicker of thought crossed Mu En's heart, and he immediately stopped holding back. Golden light erupted in his eyes, and he blasted out a punch, as if carrying the will of the entire world, striking Poison Undying directly!
Poison Undying did not dodge or evade, crossing his arms to meet the blow head-on.
"Boom—!"
Poison Undying was smashed away like a cannonball, spitting out fresh blood. Dense cracks appeared on his chest, making it seem as if his entire body was about to split open down the middle.
However, Poison Undying merely adjusted his posture slightly in mid-air before landing easily, light as a swan feather.
Gently shaking his body, the terrifying injuries on his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Qi and blood around him remained as vigorous as a raging fire!
"Hahaha! Is this all the strength the Dragon God Douluo has?!" Poison Undying wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed arrogantly.
Mu En frowned, remaining silent. His figure on the wheelchair was motionless, yet he continued to blast out punch after punch!
The power of light, which purifies evil, was added atop the fist shadows of Reign Over the World, then rained down upon Poison Undying!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Poison Undying was forced to retreat step by step, blood blossoms constantly bursting on his body, and the sound of cracking bones was clearly audible.
However, at this moment, Poison Undying seemed to truly possess an immortal body. No matter how severe the injury he sustained, the vast power of Qi and blood would instantly surge forth, forcibly repairing the damage!
As Poison Undying endured the beating, he laughed wildly, "Mu En! If your body were whole and you were at your Peak, I would naturally turn and leave! But with your crippled body now, how long can you sustain a full-power attack?! How many times can you still use your Seagod's Light?!"
Mu En punched him into the ground, his voice icy: "Killing you a few times is enough."
Poison Undying climbed out of the pit, covered in blood, yet his Aura did not diminish, instead growing stronger. He sneered:
"Kill me a few times? Then come! Your mere Seagod's Light is only enough to make me struggle on the verge of death! Enough for me to escape! Enough for me to recover and make a comeback! How many times can you still use your Seagod's Light?! How much longer can an old fellow like you live?!"
His voice was booming, carrying a vast Aura, drilling into Mu En's ears:
"How many moves do you think that trash Xuan Zi can block me for?! And how long do you think it would take me to slaughter your entire Shrek lineage, if I wished to?!"
Every word was aimed at the heart.
Mu En's attack stopped. He remained seated in his specialized wheelchair, his aged face flickering between light and shadow under the moonlight. He was silent for a long time.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of exhaustion: "What is your true purpose in coming to Shrek City?"
Poison Undying chuckled:
"It's all because your Shrek people don't follow the rules and tried to forcefully seize the property of our business partner. I'm just here to act as a backer for our partner's business and seek justice!
"Our Body Sect is merely here in Shrek City to conduct business honestly!"
Mu En looked at him calmly, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny. After a long silence, his hunched figure slowly became illusory, eventually vanishing into the night, leaving only an aged voice echoing in Poison Undying's ear:
"Poison Undying, I know the location of your Body Sect. I am a man who is about to die anyway. If Shrek suffers misfortune because of you. I don't mind creating more slaughter before my death."
Poison Undying remained silent, his imposing figure standing motionless. After waiting for a full hour and confirming that Mu En had truly left, his expression immediately twisted.
"Damn it, dying is impossible, but the pain is really goddamn awful."
Poison Undying exhaled deeply, but excitement dominated his face.
The amplification from being a "Body Cultivator" was greater than he had imagined. Having mastered Qi and blood, he now possessed the strength not only to fight Mu En one-on-one without being defeated but also to gradually touch the outline of the ultimate level. Breakthrough had already become a possibility!
And as long as he achieved Breakthrough, he could live for several more decades! That would be enough time for the little fellow in the Sect to grow up!
Tsk. Although the process was a bit strange, no matter what, the Body Sect shall prosper!
His figure flashed, returning to the convoy. He waved his massive hand, his voice like a great bell:
"Members of the Body Sect, follow me into the city!"
...Inside the golden ancient tree in Shrek City,
Mu En's figure quietly appeared. Not a trace of his presence leaked out; he seemed the same as before.
However, anyone present who possessed the cultivation of a Super Douluo could sense that Mu En's Aura was now somewhat dimmer than when he left.
Everyone paused, then immediately surrounded him, their faces filled with concern and solemnity.
"Elder Mu, you're back!"
Xuan Zi, who was standing nearby, was the first to approach, but his face still bore bruises that had not fully faded, and his Aura seemed somewhat weak.
This was the result of an incident a few days ago, when he encountered a conflict between Body SectDisciples and Shrek students outside the city. He had intended to forcefully suppress them, but unexpectedly, Poison Undying suddenly appeared and severely wounded him.
It was precisely because of this that the person who stepped forward today to directly intercept Poison Undying was not him, but Mu En.
Mu En slowly sat back down in his reclining chair, his cloudy gaze sweeping over the crowd, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue:
"Poison Undying is more difficult to deal with than expected. He seems to have completely mastered the power of Qi and blood. Although I can defeat him, I cannot kill him outright. A prolonged stalemate would be detrimental to Shrek."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. If even Elder Mu could not deal with Poison Undying, it meant that the Body Sect, this troublesome nail, would truly be firmly embedded in Shrek City.
Mu En's gaze swept over the crowd, pausing briefly on Xuan Zi, carrying a hint of disappointment that was hard to detect.
The Gluttonous Divine Ox Spirit was undoubtedly a top-tier Spirit. Although it wouldn't guarantee reaching the ultimate limit, it still held a slight chance.
But, in Xuan Zi, he did not see that slight chance.
After a slight pause, he still encouraged him: "Xuan Zi, you must focus on cultivation and achieve a ninety-ninth-level Breakthrough as soon as possible, so you can truly support the Academy."
Xuan Zi looked ashamed and bowed his head in affirmation.
Mu En's gaze then swept over the crowd, lingering briefly on the figure standing relatively further back.
Zhang Lexuan.
In this child, he still saw that slight possibility.
The day the Grand Competition ended, she achieved a level seventy Breakthrough, and then forcefully skipped a grade level to absorb a seventy-thousand-year spirit ring. Although she was injured, she quickly recovered.
And her cultivation speed had not slowed down during this time. In the year or so since the competition, her cultivation had already reached level seventy-four.
Without a doubt, Zhang Lexuan might be able to become a Titled Douluo before the age of thirty. If she could absorb one or even two more hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, reaching level ninety-eight would be guaranteed, at the very least.
Coupled with this child's character, she might also be able to keep Shrek clean.
Mu En lowered his eyes in thought. This, perhaps, was Shrek's last possibility.
After a moment of silence, Mu En sighed and instructed: "Pass down the order: all teachers and students of the Academy must act discreetly in the near future and try to avoid conflict with the Body Sect and its associated forces."
Everyone answered in unison, but their expressions varied slightly, the most prominent emotion being unwillingness.
Their Shrek Academy had dominated the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years, recognized as the number one academy in the world. Who would have thought they would be reduced to this posture now?
The crowd fell silent, the atmosphere sinking into a deathly stillness. Then, upon Mu En's instruction, they all withdrew.
The room returned to its usual silence, leaving Mu En alone, looking out the window, his figure slightly desolate.
