The son-in-law of the first wealthy family

As for the origin of the Xiang family, one person has to be mentioned.

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Although the Xiang family is not a direct relative of Xiang Yu, they also belong to the lineage of the Xiang family in the former Chu state.

In the end, although they were defeated by the Han, some of the Xiang family was spared by the King of Han, including the ancestors of the current Xiang family.

After that, the Xiang family didn't show it in front of people, firstly, to avoid suspicion, and secondly, they deeply understood that the luck of the emperor and the family didn't last as long as the aristocratic family.

So the Xiang family gradually hid themselves and became the first batch of aristocratic families.

Not many people have seen the background of the Xiang family, they only know that it must have a lot of elders of the eighth rank of profound practitioners.

Now the head of the Xiang family is called Xiang Jing. No one knows Xiang Jing's cultivation level, but the elder who has been helping the Xiang family with affairs abroad is Xiang Hui.

Xiang Hui's cultivation base is at the late stage of the seventh level of Xuan Zhe, but this is the cultivation base and combat power that Xiang Hui showed when he made a move more than ten years ago, and now he doesn't know how strong it is.

Mu Sheng recalled what Shan Yuwen told him when he was in Shan's house and told Shan Yuwen.

The origin and strength of this family are not simple.

Mu Sheng didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Although this person's combat power was not the highest in the Xiang family, he was not something he could underestimate.

Xiang Hui had been waiting for Mu Sheng to make the first move, because he had a higher level of cultivation and was older, so he shouldn't make the first move.

But Musheng has been thinking about how to defend and win this battle, so he didn't make a move immediately.

Seeing that Mu Sheng didn't make a move, Xiang Hui couldn't wait anymore, so he picked up the halberd and struck away.

Seeing Xiang Hui jumping into the air, Mu Sheng cut down the halberd vertically, and retreated directly.

As soon as the halberd was struck, a crack opened in the ground in an instant, and all this was only an instant thing.

That Xiang Hui was fine if he didn't make a move, but when he did, he was as swift as the wind.

The halberd danced a whirlwind in his hand, and Mu Sheng's double swords slashed left and right to block it, only to see the halberd attacking in various tricky directions of Mu Sheng.

It was the first time for Musheng to meet such a strong opponent.

Even if he regained his memory and recalled the geniuses in the ancient sect of the ancient snake sect that he had encountered, it would be difficult to compare with Xiang Hui's current strength.

After all, Xiang Hui's strength is at the peak of the seventh level of Xuan Zhe, and the geniuses of those ancient sects are only at the fifth and sixth level of Xuan Zhe.

Moreover, the martial arts and exercises of Hui's life were all passed down from the Xiang family of Chu State thousands of years ago. It must be powerful to stand out in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Xiang Hui swung the halberd, and every blow was accompanied by a gust of wind.

Moreover, Mu Sheng also collided with Xiang Hui's halberd head-on, and Mu Sheng felt that the strength had surpassed the level of the seventh-order Xuan Zhe.

This strength must have touched the edge of the eighth level of the mysterious person. If Mu Sheng received the blow abruptly, he would at least take three or four steps back.

In this way, if Mu Sheng didn't dodge every blow of that Xiang Hui, he would always be repelled.

But Xiang Hui fought more and more fiercely. If Xiang Hui continued to fight like that, the opponent's morale and combat power would definitely reach a peak state. At that time, Mu Sheng would be beaten all the time, and sooner or later he would be defeated.

Therefore, Mu Sheng must disturb Xiang Hui's morale accumulated step by step.

I saw that Mu Sheng no longer had any reservations this time, and all his moves needed to be used.

Relying on his positive strength alone, Mu Sheng had to admit that he couldn't beat Xiang Hui. Xiang Hui had already half-stepped into the early stage of the eighth-order Xuan Zhe.

Even if he is against the sky, it is impossible to fight beyond the three major stages in terms of hard power.

So when he touched his waist, a stone ball came out around his body.

The corners of Mu Sheng's mouth curled up slightly. Seeing Mu Sheng's smile, Na Xiang Hui seemed to have anticipated something bad, so he quickly stopped the momentum he was shooting, and then retracted his halberd and stepped back.

At this time, Mu Sheng put the stone ball in front of him, and a huge stone spur rose from the ground.

"Mage formation? I forgot, you are still a formation master."

The Xiang family, Xiang Hui, looked at the stone thorn rising in front of Mu Sheng, and immediately remembered the information about Mu Sheng that he had read.

The formation master is impressively displayed on it.

"What? Are you not allowed to use formations? This is part of my strength, but it has not been used for a long time, and it is a bit rusty."

Mu Sheng's amnesia in the past few months, naturally he has not used the formation to assist in the battle, and he has not released his holy dragon energy.

He also thought of the rewards he got from the Ancient Snake Sect, which he hadn't used yet, and Xiao Bai, who he took with him when he entered the Guan family, and then he didn't know where he went.

Only after he regained his memory did he realize that it was a reward given to him by the Ancient Snake Sect.

But all of this has to wait until the battle is over before Mu Sheng can deal with it slowly.

Now the most important thing is to force the nine families back.

"Hmph, my Xiang family doesn't even allow people to use formations, but even if you use formations, you may not be able to fight me today."

Na Xiang Hui is extremely conceited and has no fear of Mu Sheng at all, but he already has such capital.

Half a foot into the cultivation base of the eighth-order profound practitioner is enough to make him stand out from the crowd.

Among the people present, apart from the stewards and the Fu family of the other two big families, there is really no one who can compare with him.

It's just that Mu Sheng has the upper hand in the formation.

"Try it and you'll know. I don't think it's a problem to force you to retreat."

Musheng is also in a state of fiery fighting now.

He has been fighting with these nine great families for so long, and the fighting state has entered the best level, and he really wants to try it out, how much difference is there between himself and the eighth-level Xuan Zhe.

"Let's meet my newly learned formation."

Mu Sheng smiled slightly. He thought about this formation for a long time on the road after leaving the ruins of the desert in the northwest, and then he barely copied several formations of the Yingshui Sect formation that he had learned.

"Mountain moves!"

Mu Sheng let out a roar, and saw a large number of stone thorns stabbing out of the ground instantly, and Mu Sheng didn't just use formations on the spot.

The formation he learned is more powerful than the formation master of the Shadow Water Sect because he directly uses stone balls to activate the formation. Although the number and formation may not be enough, the power of a single target must be enough.

Then cooperate with his double swords to attack the opponent when he is dodging the stone thorns. Under such circumstances, the opponent will definitely be injured.

As expected, Xiang Hui saw stone thorns protruding from the ground, so he had to dodge these stone thorns in a hurry.

Then Mu Sheng ran around between the stone thorns, and his figure was blocked by the stone thorns in the direction of travel.

Suddenly, Xiang Hui didn't pay attention, and Mu Sheng stabbed him directly from behind with a sword.

But I have to say that Xiang Hui is really a formidable enemy. In this sudden situation, Mu Sheng's sword that pierced his chest was actually blocked by Xiang Hui at the last moment and deviated.

It just scratched his arm, and then he slashed horizontally, cleared the surrounding area, and then flew back.
