Chapter 5 - Bleeding sky

"That's him Wang Si, he's the one who took away Ancestor Wang Jian's Heavenly Dao of seven rivers technique and the Stone of inheritance." 

Wang Chung blurted out. 

At this moment, who doesn't know of the legendary Heavenly Dao of seven rivers technique, even the Wang family's stone of inheritance wasn't that important than that Technique. Wang Si's expression changed. Ling Xuan's expression changed, Xuan Qi's expression changed, Yuan Shi's expression also changed. 

Zhao Ran was horrified, but then all their faces turned icy cold in an instant that it caused the Tower from within to rumble, however the defense of the Tower of fifth is something that even peak powerhouse cannot crumble on a whim. 

"Give it back!" Wang Si said through gritted teeth.

However, Mu Shen was still as calm as a still lake, it was impossible to sense his aura. The Blessings of the Sixth Sense Technique had made it Impossible for others to brazenly detect his aura. In fact, he just looked so ordinary that it was hard to differentiate if he was a cultivator or not. 

"I've already crushed the jade and the Stone of inheritance is not with me presently." 

All of a sudden, the air around was immediately seethed with an intense bloodlust that it was almost impossible to breath. The air was frigid, almost crispy and tangible. 

The air formed thin threads that slapped at their faces when they moved. This was due to the change in the humid of the atmosphere.

Mu Shen did not care. He looked out of the Tower where the iron bars had locked. He hoped that Si Cheng would not die out there. He is the only friend he had gotten after his transmigration. 

Suddenly Ling Xuan attacked as a massive sword replaced the sky. The air was cut apart, and the void around seem to displace. Mu Shen closed his eyes and then, moved to the left.

Blessings of the Sixth Sense Technique allowed him to escape the range of the descending sword sky. The sword cut everything apart, but it missed Mu Shen and Ling Xuan was shocked. 

Whenever his sword replaces the sky, it is always impossible to dodge, but Mu Shen had done just that. Ling Xuan's eyes flickered and changed. He raised his hands.

"First sword." 

That moment, the air was replaced by vitality which moved in a synchronized pattern. Mu Shen's expression changed while the aura of Blessings of the Sixth Sense Technique skyrocketed. 

These geniuses were not to be underestimated and Mu Shen dare not overestimate himself or he would face death in the worst possible way.

Before coming to try the contest at this Tower of fifth, he had used up almost five hundred star crystals. Si Cheng had done the same, only that the improvement was more visible in Mu Shen than it is in Si Cheng.

Mu Shen moved to the left as the first sword descended upon him with so many synchronized vitality that came directly from the universe. 

The Invasion of impulsive vitality caused his entire body to turn numb.

'What the hell is this?' 

This is universal vitality. Infusing a battle Technique and the vitality that came from the universe is only what a talented genius would be capable of. The Ling family was proficient in sword techniques and their ancestor, Ling Gong had been an invincible powerhouse back in the days, these powerhouses must have lived ten thousand years or more and it must have taken them a lot just to get the recognition of the universe.

Mu Shen moved not directly using any technique or brute strength. Mu Shen's strength was strange enough already with which someone in his domain relm is not supposed to possess.

Then, Ling Xuan moved the first sword in an arc and there was sparks of light that went flying in the air and it was split in two, fours and eights. 

Now, eight phantoms of the first sword stabbed at Mu Shen the void shaking at their approach.

Mu Shen's eyes became cold. 

The moment when he realized that the eight sword phantoms were almost few centimeters away from him, he took direct action. 

He slapped his hands at the air and it was suddenly pushed back. A ripple suddenly moved from the force of his slap and all eight sword phantoms were shattered in an instant. 

Ling Xuan was shocked. Mu Shen wasn't done and he raised his hands and dragged at the air and something suddenly collapsed. 

Xuan Qi, Yuan Shi, Zhao Ran, Wang Chung and Wang Si suddenly retreated. 

"That's Horizon Drop!" Yuan Shi's expression was not looking good. All of the them had to retreat or else they would be caught up in the terrifying power of Horizon Drop.

"How did he learn the Horizon Drop? That's Ancestor Wang Xiaoyu's battle technique." Wang Si was surprised. But then, their expressions changed yet again.

"The Wang family's stone of inheritance!"

Meanwhile, Ling Xuan was horrified. 

The third sword manifested, but it was crushed under the immense pressure of Horizon Drop. Ling Xuan did not expect that he would be defeated so easily. The moment the power of Horizon Drop dissipated, Yuan Shi, Wang Si, Zhao Ran, Xuan Qi immediately joined the fray. 

Yuan Shi was an unstoppable force. 

Zhao Ran was someone adept in the power of Illusions that destroys spiritual force.

Wang Si was skilled and almost unrivaled.

Xuan Qi is the feather God Master. 

These four we're unstoppable. 

But then, Mu Shen's eyes flickered and he raised his hands and a wave of red covered the sky. 

From where Wang Chung stood, his expression changed drastically.

"Crap, I totally forgot about the bleeding sky."

Even Wang Chung was unable to escape it's range. Every faces under it was pale.

'How can one man be so powerful?' 

Yuan Shi was starting to question his existence, wondering why Mu Shen was powerful. But then, the bleeding sky turned deep red and the pressure descended. 

When the red sky dissipated, all faces were pale but Mu Shen was no where to be found. 

Wang Si was pale, "we need to tell the ancestor about this. I can't defeat him." 

Everyone remained silent.
