"Human, you...how dare you!"

The frantic King Daluo decisively rushed towards Xiao Mu, utilizing the second type of Secret Arts with both hands.

He extended his hand, pointing at Xiao Mu.

Black light flashed above Xiao Mu's head, and a small grass broke through, growing rapidly.

The grass was fervently extracting the Life Force from within Xiao Mu's body. It started as a bud, but in the blink of an eye, it was nearly a fully-grown plant.

Xiao Mu was taken aback.

The technique used by King Daluo was strikingly similar to the one used by the Evil Ghost he had encountered in Evil Spirit Ridge.

This type of Secret Art, which plants grass on one's head and effortlessly drains the life force from the human body, could unknowingly lead to death.

If he hadn't cultivated the Two Forces of Life and Death, he wouldn't stand a chance of surviving once hit by this Secret Art.

"Human, under the Art of Life-draining of this king, let's see how long you can hold on."

As King Daluo shouted, he launched another attack towards Xiao Mu. He unleashed the Life and Death Line, slashing towards Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu didn't dare to be careless. He moved his feet, displaying the Yin and Yang Tai Chi Diagram. His figure flickered, teleporting continuously within the ancient palace to avoid being sliced by the Life and Death Line.

Having been previously sliced by the Life and Death Line, Xiao Mu knew well that any contact with it would split his existence into life and death, half alive, half dead.

At this point, due to Xiao Mu having already been cut in half by King Daluo's Life and Death Line, half of him was alive while the other half was in a state of death.

Therefore, King Daluo, who was again using the Life and Death Line, directly targeted the half of Xiao Mu that was still living.

He wanted to slice again, continuing to split Xiao Mu's body into life and death.

But if sliced again, half of the part of Xiao Mu that remained alive would be instantly lost.

Luckily, Xiao Mu, who knew the Tai Chi Steps, continuously teleported within the ancient palace under the crazy rotation and expansion of the Yin and Yang Tai Chi Diagram, preventing King Daluo's Life and Death Line from hitting him.

At the same time, the five fingers of Xiao Mu continued to pull, transforming more of King Daluo's body into the basic Five Elements, making his body even more ethereal.

"What skill is there in only running away?"

Repeatedly failing to lock onto Xiao Mu with the Life and Death Line, King Daluo, in a fit of anger, gripped the Death-Expediting Clock, inputting a surge of power into it. This immediately accelerated the speed at which the clock drained life, and correspondingly, Xiao Mu's aging speed also increased.

At the same time, he extended his hand and activated the Life-absorption Art, and the speed at which the small grass on Xiao Mu's head drained life also sped up.

Under the simultaneous action of these two techniques, the Death-Expediting Clock caused Xiao Mu's life force to flow away, directly draining the life force within Xiao Mu's body, while the Life-absorption Art directly used Secret Arts to drain away Xiao's life force.

Not to mention, King Daluo was continually pursuing Xiao Mu, persistently using the Life and Death Line to cut into Xiao Mu's body, trying to further divide him into life and death based on the original division.

King Daluo had already used two Secret Arts related to the Power of Life and Death, with one more stimulated by the power of a Life and Death artifact.

However, Xiao Mu, who had mastered the Tai Chi Steps, wasn't anxious; the enormous Yin and Yang Tai Chi Diagram was his home turf. With the slightest thought, he could move anywhere, making King Daluo's Life and Death Line-cutting attempts fail.

In the meantime, his fingers were moving, continuously extracting the Five Elements Power from within King Daluo's body, making it more and more ethereal, further changing into the Five Elements Power.

"Damn it!"

Unable to hit Xiao Mu many times, King Daluo cursed in frustration, but Xiao Mu was just too fast. With the flipping of Yin and Yang, he was continually evading.

In his anger, King Daluo shot out a series of Life and Death Lines attempting to block Xiao Mu's escape route.

"Ghost Servant, come out!"

Xiao Mu promptly unleashed his Ghost Servant.

The Ghost Servant emerged from the ground, appearing as an ancient official, wearing a black gauze hat, dressed in an official robe, and holding a judge pen, writing in the air:

You accumulated Yin Virtues, may you be Blessed with Good Luck!

A flash of Golden Light appeared on Xiao Mu, protected by Yin Virtue.

Instantaneously, King Daluo's Life and Death Line deviated its course, unable to hit Xiao Mu.

"Audacious!"

Enraged, King Daluo's cold eyes swiftly shifted from Xiao Mu to the Ghost Servant.

Next moment, he moved his feet, and in an instant, reached in front of the Ghost Servant, immediately letting loose the Life and Death Line towards the Ghost Servant.

Even though the Ghost Servant was a Yin Spirit, once cut by the Life and Death Line, it would still be divided into life and death, half continuing to exist as a Yin Spirit, the other half inevitably succumbing to death.

"HOHO!"

The Ghost Servant let out a strange laugh from his throat and suddenly disappeared underground, entering the Netherworld, causing King Daluo's Life and Death Line to miss, without causing him any harm.

Blessed with Good Luck, everything will go smoothly for you!

The next moment, the Ghost Servant reappeared from underground, appearing on the other side of the Ancient Palace.

In his hand, he held the Judge Pen and once again wrote towards Xiao Mu.

The golden words formed in the air, transforming into power that entered Xiao Mu's body.

Golden Light flashed on Xiao Mu. His body seemed to undergo a transformation after being Blessed with Good Luck.

So much so, that even King Daluo's Life-absorption Art lost most of its effect, failing again and again to drain Xiao Mu's life energy.

Similarly affected was the Death-Expediting Clock. It seemed to have malfunctioned, failing numerous times.

Even more terrifying was Xiao Mu's body, which had been cut by King Daluo's Life and Death Line. Originally, one half of his body was alive and the other half was dead.

At this time, after being Blessed with Good Luck, the living half of his body suddenly grew stronger, and the dead half sporadically revived.

Xiao Mu's other hand suddenly moved. His five fingers mimicked the actions of his other hand.

He grabbed the other end of another five threads attached to King Daluo's body.

These five threads were also lines of the Five Elements, connected to the Five Elements Power within King Daluo.

And as Xiao Mu's five fingers pulled on the Five Elements' threads, King Daluo's body quickly transformed into the Five Elements at an accelerated rate, becoming faded faster.

"How can I possibly die at your hands!" exclaimed King Daluo.

King Daluo's face changed as Xiao Mu sporadically came back to life, tugging on his body's Five Elements threads, causing the speed of his body's fade to increase.

Although the increase in speed was not significant, it still posed a great threat, leaving him in constant fear of death.

Furthermore, as his body became faded, his power was rapidly decreasing and the strength of the Life and Death Line significantly reduced.

You are blessed with immeasurable merit, may you live a peaceful life!

The Ghost Servant wielding the Judge Pen appeared again from another direction and he wrote in the air once more.

Golden words transformed into golden light and entered Xiao Mu's body again.

Xiao Mu, who had been blessed, appeared to be clothed in a golden dress, blocking a large amount of negative impact.

Neither King Daluo's Life-absorption Art, the Death-Expediting Clock's extermination technique, nor King Daluo's Life and Death Line could affect Xiao Mu again.

Moreover, the frequency of revival of the half of Xiao Mu's body that had been cut by the Life and Death Line and was originally dead, also began to speed up.

Xiao Mu's hands moved together, causing King Daluo's body to fade even faster.

By this time, at least half of his body had turned to Xu Wu and he became transparent.

King Daluo finally felt fear.

He suddenly screamed and attacked with both hands, frantically sending out more than a dozen Life and Death lines.

The Tai Chi Yin-Yang Diagram glowed brightly, Xiao Mu moved quickly to avoid all the lines.

After his attacks failed, King Daluo turned to flee, suddenly throwing a seed onto the ground of the Ancient Palace.

The seed immediately sprouted into a peculiar vine-like plant that deeply penetrated into the ground.

The plant spread numerous strands of Life and Death Power. This power formed lines that grasped King Daluo and pulled him downwards.

"Humans, I will be back!"

Just before his body disappeared, King Daluo roared at Xiao Mu, his voice filled with resentment.

"Too bad you won't have the chance to come back."

The Yin Diagram suddenly flew out from Xiao Mu's body. Imbued with Chaos-like Power, it severely slashed at the vine's root.

Thump!

The vine made out of Life and Death Power could not block the slash of Chaos-like Power and was instantly severed.

King Daluo, whose body had already faded more than half, immediately turned pale.

Xiao Mu pointed with his hand, and the Yin Diagram cut through King Daluo, his head immediately fell to the ground.
