Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 480: Chapter 447 Intense Battle_1

“Is it him?”

Xu Mu turned to Yue, asking.

Yue shook his head.

Xu Mu couldn’t help but frown.

The silhouette of this white-haired being filled him with a strong sense of danger. This was the first being he’d encountered since arriving in this world that posed a threat to him.

And if Yue said that it wasn’t him, it meant there existed even stronger beings.

Could it be that one existence he had sensed inadvertently?

If it really were that existence, his reckless approach could potentially be life-threatening.

Xu Mu remained silent, while Xiao Tian Yuan and others dared not utter a word. As a result, the scene was eerily quiet.

“You are seeking death.”

White Hair slowly rose from the ground, turning around to look down.

It was then that everyone realized that the creature was not a human, but a white ape dressed in human clothes.

The white ape was tall, nearly 10 feet high, and dressed in a voluminous robe. Although not having a human face, it gave one the impression of a kindly old man.

However, from its unyielding tone, it was clear that it was not a benevolent creature.

Of course, what was even more astonishing was that the creature was wearing human clothing and could speak.

Although it was said that when a wild beast reached the Martial Ancestor realm, it would possess high intelligence, speaking human language was a first for them.

The white ape had been emanating a powerful and mysterious aura since its appearance.

The white ape was ignoring everyone else on the scene: its gaze was only focused on two people – Yue and Xu Mu.

Its gaze was calm when looking at Yue, but it carried a hint of coldness when looking at Xu Mu.

“I wish to meet this predecessor. Please show me some leniency.”

Xu Mu took a step forward and said, clasping his hands together in a salute.

“You despicable human, you are not qualified to see the Ancestor.”

The white ape reached into the air with both hands, and a green stick appeared in his hand, made from an unknown material.

“If you are unwilling to go, then die here.”

As the words hung in the air, the figure of the white ape had already vanished from everyone’s sight.

“Get out of the way!”

With a light push of Xu Mu’s left hand, an invisible force field enveloped Yue, propelling her hundreds of feet away.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tian Yuan and the others still didn’t know what was happening, only that an unimaginably terrifying pressure had descended upon them.

The strongest person, Xiao Tian Yuan, could only withstand it for a single breath before being forced to his knees.

As for the others, they were directly pressed to the ground, unable to resist at all.

The only ones able to stay standing were Xu Mu and Yue.

Yue was exempt due to special reasons, combined with her distance from the conflict, leaving her completely unaffected. Xu Mu, on the other hand, was able to withstand the pressure.

As for the three-tailed purple mink, it was already shaking in fear and continued to run away with Yue.

“So strong!”

The corners of Xu Mu’s eyes flashed brilliantly. The moment he felt the death aura from his opponent, he realized that this time, he had finally met his match.

The enormous internal energy he possessed could no longer be concealed. An aura completely alien to Xu Mu was unleashed.

His right fist tightened, and a series of beast souls, appearing like tattoos, appeared on it. He then swung his hand harshly towards the sky.

By this point, the white ape had already swung the green stick at Xu Mu’s head.

Boom!

As the two forces collided, a terrifying shockwave, like a tidal wave, surged madly towards their surroundings.

The layers of earth beneath Xu Mu’s feet shattered, as if countless earth dragons were creating havoc. The surrounding wind was raging, as if countless wind dragons were howling.

The countless beast souls sealed within his prosthetic limb were melting at a rapid rate under the impact of the mysterious force of the green stick, like ice under a blazing fire.

Even the Emperor-Level beast souls faded and lost their light.

Crack crack!

The prosthetic limb made up of numerous rare metals also twisted slowly under the impact of the green stick.

A tremor passed through Xu Mu’s feet as he dissipated the force and then quickly retreated.

This was the first time that Xu Mu had retreated in combat since his arrival in this world.

Unfortunately, everyone present was under too much pressure to even breathe and they had no energy left to express their astonishment.

The white ape’s eyes flickered with surprise. It was somewhat astonished that Xu Mu had been able to block the blow, and it seemed that his arm was artificial.

However, none of this would cause it to stop. Its feet treading on thin air as if stepping on invisible stairs, it chased after Xu Mu, initiating its attack once again.

Xu Mu kept passively blocking, continuously retreating, and his prosthetic right arm gradually twisted out of shape.

The terrifying vibration transferred into his body through the prosthetic limb. A trace of crimson blood trickled from the corner of Xu Mu’s mouth.

Not only was the white ape the first to make him retreat, but it was also the first to injure him.

“Human, now that they’re already out of range for sustaining injuries, you better use whatever else you have up your sleeve. Otherwise, you will die with the next strike.”

The white ape’s voice was still calm as ever, but its aura soared even higher. A torrent of green fluid gathered around it, looking like nebulous mist.

Xu Mu’s eyes widened in surprise. He hadn’t expected that the white ape had seen through his intentions and was itself concealing its true strength.

“In that case, allow me to be blunt!”

Xu Mu squeezed the Finger Jue, his original form’s phantom appeared and quickly fused with his physical body.

“Hm?”

The white ape’s brows furrowed. It probably hadn’t expected that Xu Mu’s beast spirit would be a human.

But none of that mattered. After all, in the end, it would just be another dead man.

The white ape once again disappeared from its spot, suddenly reappearing in front of Xu Mu. The green stick in its hand silently aimed at Xu Mu’s chest, and he struck.

Xu Mu’s left hand reached out like a specter, silently gripping the white ape’s green stick. No sound was made.

At this moment, it seemed as if all resistance in the world had disappeared.

Their speeds were so fast, yet so silent, totally unlike their previous earth-shattering moves. They seemed more like phantoms than real entities.

The spectators watching from a distance felt a surge of nausea.

Xu Mu’s brow furrowed. He had originally intended to use a Divine Skill and other skills against the white ape. But the white ape’s speed was too fast, and with the help of the green mist around it, it could make unpredictable movements. This left Xu Mu in a constant state of defense, with no chance to use his Divine Skills.

Just as everyone thought the fight would continue for a while, the white ape swung its stick again at Xu Mu’s chest. Xu Mu instinctively swung his hand to block, but a surge of invisible force suddenly chained his body, creating just a brief moment of lag. But this was enough for the white ape to seize this opportunity.

Thud!

Crack!

Xu Mu was violently sent flying by the green stick. He spat out blood, with numerous broken ribs in his chest, looking utterly miserable.

Taking this opportunity, the white ape did not hold back, caught up to Xu Mu and attacked again. Already wounded, Xu Mu had brief moments of delay each time he tried to defend.

The white ape seized the opportunity, constantly hitting Xu Mu, who quickly became covered in wounds, looking utterly miserable.

“Big brother!”

Yue’s eyes were filled with worry.

Everyone else was also apprehensive. They had not expected Xu Mu to be at such a disadvantage and at risk of falling at any moment.
