Chapter 449: Chapter 417: Mutated Martial Saint_1

“It’s the grown man’s lifebound spirit beast, the Purple Crystal Demon Ape. I never thought I would see it again!”

Two Martial Ancestors looked at the terrifying body of the Purple Crystal Demon Ape, their emotions a mix of excitement and exhilaration.

At Xiao Tian Yuan’s level, there were few who could force him to call forth his spirit beast. The once famous Purple Crystal Demon Ape had not appeared in the world for over a decade.

Now, after laying dormant for more than a decade, the power of the Purple Crystal Demon Ape was not only undiminished, but it seemed stronger than at its peak.

“The venerable Xiao Tian Yuan indeed!”

As the two people trembled in awe and excitement, Xiao Tian Yuan, who had transformed into the Purple Crystal Demon Ape, clenched his fist and struck at Xu Mu.

Facing an attack that was like a mountain bearing down on him, Xu Mu merely extended his left hand, adopting a posture of support.

He didn’t raise his hand because he wanted to counterattack–he merely feared messing up his own hairstyle.

Boom!

The Purple Crystal Demon Ape’s fists came crashing down, and a terrifying energy emanated from beneath its fists. The ground trembled, and the soil was swept up and around like a tidal wave.

The city walls a hundred feet away collapsed from just the residual shockwave of the strike.

This was not the end, the Purple Crystal Demon Ape’s eyes shone a bright purple as it lifted its fist and smashed down again.

Punch after punch, for more than a dozen blows, the soil on the ground was thrown up like sand and stones, obscuring the sky and earth.

Using their formidable strength, the two Martial Ancestors saw the situation at the centre of the field first. The ground attacked by the Purple Crystal Demon Ape had sunk at least a dozen feet, as though a meteorite had struck. The surrounding rocks showed signs of melting due to the friction.

And in the midst of this, Xu Mu, a figure as tiny as an ant, was caught in the midst of the Purple Crystal Spirit Ape’s fist, as formidable as a mountain.

The incongruity of the scene made the two of them feel like they were about to vomit blood.

“How is this possible!!!”

Not only do the two not believe it, even Xiao Tian Yuan, who had launched the attack, didn’t believe it.

He had exerted his full strength, even if a Martial Emperor faced such an attack, it wouldn’t be possible to come out unscathed, even more inexplicable was that Xu Mu did not summon his own lifebound spirit beast throughout.

In this world, only when a spirit beast is called upon does it represent the loss of full strength.

This means, Xu Mu, who had blocked the attack, didn’t use his full strength.

“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!”

The scene before him caused Xiao Tian Yuan’s impregnable martial arts heart to almost collapse.

This was such a blow to his spirit!

The greatly shocked Xiao Tian Yuan, his rationality was immediately engulfed in anger; his transformation into the Purple Crystal Demon Ape quickly shrank, reappearing as his own body, his body started to grow fur, evolving into a half-human, half-ape form.

“Did Martial Saint go mad? How is this possible!!!”

Looking at the transformation taking place in Xiao Tian Yuan, the two Martial Ancestors were too shocked for words and felt as though the sky was falling.

The Martial Saint himself is the strongest person in the country, now with him going mad and his body mutating, no one in the entire Da Xia Nation could stand up to him?

Unless a Martial Emperor steps in to organise, the entire Da Xia Nation will face a total disaster.

Such an event is not unheard of in history, every time it happened it was a catastrophe.

If it were a Martial Emperor undergoing such a transformation, it could herald an even greater disaster.

But when one reaches the level of a Martial Ancestor or Martial Saint, their minds are as firm as rocks and indestructible. Even if they were to go mad suddenly, even if they were unable to stop their transformation, they could opt to take their own lives ahead of time, so such occurrences are very rare.

Only if the martial artist intentionally lets themselves go mad does it happen.

Now, in front of these two, such a disaster that had not occurred in hundreds of years was unfolding.

They’re finished now!

The two sighed inwardly in despair.

The two Martial Ancestors did not know the extent of the shock Xiao Tian Yuan had undergone, and thus were unable to understand his decision.

Moreover, Xiao Tian Yuan, who had lost his sanity, only wanted to defeat Xu Mu, even if it meant risking his life.

He couldn’t believe that his painstakingly cultivated martial arts could be so vulnerable.

“Roar!”

Letting out an angry roar, Xiao Tian Yuan moved under his feet, his figure instantly vanished from the spot, and as it disappeared, the ground immediately cracked like a spider web.

When Xiao Tian Yuan reappeared, he already struck downwards from a commanding height.

Although his body had shrunk a hundredfold now, his power had not diminished much. On the contrary, due to excessive condensation, his power had increased several times over.

This seemingly ordinary hand chop was enough to split a small mountain in half.

Bang!

Xu Mu reached out to easily block it again, even eliminating all its power, as if it were just two ordinary people simply touching hands together.

“Roar!”

This action completely enraged Xiao Tian Yuan, who had already lost most of his reason. Now, he had completely lost his rationality.

Crack, crack!

The transformed Xiao Tian Yuan stepped back violently, his body began to crystallize into a purple color. Connected together, they formed a formidable armor. Moreover, a purple crystal staff began to form in his hand.

“How is that possible? He can still use martial techniques after demonization?!”

The two Martial Arts Grandmasters were so shocked that they had become somewhat numb.

After a martial artist transforms, only instinct remains. Although their physical strength is enhanced, they are unable to use martial techniques.

This was the only advantage ordinary martial artists had when facing transformed martial artists.

Now, Xiao Tian Yuan shattered this conventional wisdom.

How powerful would a transformed martial artist be if they could still use martial arts?

A Martial Emperor? Or the legendary Martial God?

The two didn’t know. All they knew was that this strike shook the heavens and the earth.

Xiao Tian Yuan gripped the golden staff tightly and smashed it violently towards him. This strike had a feeling of creating the heavens and the earth.

The void became white, the ground cracked, the wild current hidden all around swept away. The two watching Martial Ancestors could hardly stand still. The intense friction generated endless lightning, and even the clouds in the sky were dispersed by the aftermath.

Who could block this shocking strike? Who could resist?

“It seems somewhat decent.”

Xu Mu, who had remained indifferent throughout, gently nodded his head, then extended a finger.

Ding!

Just like the collision of metal and stone, the piercing sound made the brains of the two Martial Ancestors dizzy, losing their hearing in an instant.

However, at this moment, the two had no interest in this.

They both widened their eyes, seeing that ordinary finger simply blocking that earth-shattering strike.

“How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible?”

Everything that happened today was beyond their understanding. It seemed like they were watching not a battle between two top fighters, but a farcical drama.

To block a strike comparable to a Martial Emperor with one finger, if anyone told them this was the truth, they would undoubtedly slap the person without hesitation.

But now this fact was right in front of them.

Without giving the two time to react, the transformed Xiao Tian Yuan’s dual eyes emitted a ghostly light, starting to launch a furious attack on Xu Mu.

The purple crystal staff in his hand turned into countless illusions, covering Xu Mu’s entire body.

Ding, ding, ding!

The endless ringing lasted for several breaths.

The two Martial Ancestors were directly shaken with stars in their eyes, blood flowing from their ears and noses.

And then everything suddenly stopped the next instant.

Xiao Tian Yuan’s purple crystal staff was caught in Xu Mu’s hand.

“Three hundred strikes have gone by, it’s my turn now.”
