Great Li Martial God

However, the next instant, the dark shadow before him abruptly split into two.

Dazzling blade light burst forth from that shadow, incredibly fast, directly targeting his arms with the force of thunder.

Yu Changlu was immediately alarmed. The true qi in his body erupted as he tried to dodge by moving his body.

But at this time, another blade light arrived diagonally with urgent whistling sounds, locking onto his throat.

The intense crisis of death told him that if he dared to dodge, when this blade fell, it would surely separate his head from his body!

Yu Changlu was shocked and stunned. Just as he hesitated, two streaks of blood already spurted from his arms.

The sudden loss of strength caused his arms to drop heavily, and the giant hammers in his hands also fell thunderously like rootless wood.

Yu Changlu lowered his head. A cold, slender blade stopped at the side of his neck, and at this moment, he could no longer feel any sensation from his drooping arms.

"External release of true qi? You're a Martial Dao Master?"

Yu Changlu looked up in terror, gazing at Cang Yinyue standing quietly before him. At this time, a mountain breeze blew past Cang Yinyue's slender figure. From beneath that gently fluttering veil came a cold voice, "Not quite there yet. Can only be considered half-step."

In martial Dao cultivation, the Acquired Realm could be divided into three minor realm levels according to the number of meridians a practitioner had broken through and connected.

The Innate Realm was likewise divided into three realms.

Connecting the Ren and Du meridians and absorbing heaven and earth's true qi into the body, one could be called an Innate expert. This was the first realm of Innate.

Using martial Dao true qi internal rotation as the foundation, externally releasing true qi condensed almost like substance, one could be considered to have reached the second realm of Innate. In the martial world, this realm was also called the Martial Dao Master realm.

Any Martial Dao Master already had quite a high status in the martial world. In the Blood-Bathed Alliance, they would be equivalent to an elder-level existence.

The two dark shadows Cang Yinyue had just split into were a combination of the puppet shadow body from her cultivation of the "Lingcang Shadow Art" and her martial Dao true qi taking form.

It was just that she still couldn't completely achieve true external release of true qi. This move was merely borrowing momentum and taking advantage, unable to be sustained long-term.

However, even so, with this technique, even facing a true Martial Dao Master, she wouldn't be much inferior.

"What does Miss Cang plan to do with them?"

At this time, Li Musheng's voice sounded from behind Cang Yinyue.

He sat on the mule-horse, thoughtfully observing Yu Changlu whose hand tendons had already been severed.

Hearing this, Yu Changlu instinctively glanced at him, his gaze then turning to look at his subordinates.

But he only saw that his subordinates stood one by one on the mountain path like statues, completely motionless.

For a moment, a strange feeling arose in Yu Changlu's heart.

When he had exchanged blows with Cang Yinyue just now, actually in a brief glance, he had paid attention to his subordinates' situation.

However, from beginning to end, he never saw this young man make a move.

The other party seemed to have merely ridden that mule-horse of poor quality over, and his subordinates had become like this without any warning.

Cang Yinyue shared the same feeling as Yu Changlu.

She had never taken the roadblock Yu Changlu seriously, so while making her move, she had completely enough attention to spare to observe Li Musheng's situation.

Cang Yinyue wanted to watch from an observer's perspective and see with her own eyes what that acupoint sealing technique that even she found difficult to resist was all about.

She even thought about whether she could find a way to counter it.

However, what extremely surprised her was that this time, she didn't see any signs of Li Musheng making a move.

But those people from the Blood-Bathed Alliance still had their acupoints sealed.

"How did you do it?"

Cang Yinyue didn't answer but asked instead, her sharp gaze staring at that handsome face with a trace of unruly cynicism.

"How did I do what?"

Li Musheng was stunned first, then reacted, turning his head to glance behind him, "You mean them?"

Then he turned back around, saying lazily, "Of course it was the Sunflower Acupoint Sealing Hand. Didn't I tell you last time? It's a martial art I created myself."

Cang Yinyue frowned and shook her head, "But I didn't see you make a move."

Li Musheng smiled lightly, "That can only mean your martial arts are still lacking. You should practice more diligently in the future. Honestly, I moved quite slowly just now."

Hearing this, Cang Yinyue sneered coldly and spoke bluntly, "You're really showing off!"

The implied meaning of the word "showing off" was something she had heard from Li Musheng. Using it on him now was perfectly fitting.

Li Musheng spread his hands, somewhat helplessly, "Then I'll demonstrate for you one more time. I hope you can see clearly this time."

At these words, Yu Changlu beside them, who had already lost his ability to resist, stirred. His eyes immediately fixed tightly on Li Musheng.

He also hadn't seen Li Musheng make a move just now, so he was also very curious about what methods this young man before him had used to restrain his subordinates.

However, what he found extremely strange next was that after Li Musheng finished speaking, sitting on his horse, he showed no intention of moving at all. Instead, he very abruptly asked, "Miss Cang, did you see clearly this time?"

Before Yu Changlu could figure out what was happening, he suddenly heard the woman before him cry out in shock.

"How exactly did you do it?"

At this time, Cang Yinyue's eyes were full of shock.

Because she discovered that right after Li Musheng finished speaking, her body suddenly couldn't move. The acupoints throughout her body were sealed, and even the true qi in her dantian couldn't circulate.

All of this happened in an instant. She simply didn't see Li Musheng make a move. He just sat there on the horse's back, as if he had never moved.

"Just practice makes perfect."

At this time, Li Musheng modestly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Cang, don't be discouraged. As long as you practice diligently, one day in the future, you'll definitely be able to see clearly."

Having said this, he flicked his finger and Cang Yinyue discovered she could move freely again.

Her expression changed for a while. She looked deeply at Li Musheng, then withdrew the slender sharp blade that had been at Yu Changlu's neck into her sleeve.

"I underestimated you."

Cang Yinyue lightly exhaled a breath of stale air, "Martial arts that can seal acupoints from a distance are extremely rare in the martial world, and you've clearly practiced this technique to perfection. It's reasonable that I can't see your technique clearly."

Saying this, her gaze looked at Yu Changlu before her, her eyes becoming sharp, "With such a protective technique, even if Master-level experts from the martial world attacked, they probably couldn't harm you. Our chances of forcing our way out are quite high for the rest of this journey."

At this time, Yu Changlu still hadn't recovered. He didn't know whether what this pair of young man and woman just sang in harmony was true or false.

In any case, from his perspective, Li Musheng hadn't even moved his hand.

As for whether he had truly sealed Cang Yinyue's acupoints from a distance and instantly subdued a half-step Master expert, he had no way of knowing and didn't dare ask more.

However, he could guess Cang Yinyue's purpose in not killing him.
