The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 608 Killing Them All

The intelligence was wrong!

Liu San and Zi Xiao’er immediately realized that today’s battle was definitely not as simple as they had imagined before.

Li Mu threw aside the four halves of the broken swords, feeling quite sorry for destroying such a precious treasure.

Each supreme Taoist Treasure was worth a lot of money.

However, in this dire situation, Li Mu had no time to think about money. All that mattered to him was to repel the enemies.

“Now I’ve seen the four elders of the Tianyi Palace, I can say that the elders are nothing more than I give them credit for.” Li Mu stood proudly and said, “If you want to kill me, you’d better ask your Sect Leader to come out and deal with me.”

Scandalized, Zi Xiao’er said, “You’ve met Elder Feng Zhen! He...”

“He has already gone to hell one step ahead of you.” Li Mu had no intention to hide anything. With a cold laugh, he said, “It is all thanks to him that I made it to the Mortal Realm. Speaking of which, I really should thank the Tianyi Palace.”

“Elder Feng is dead?”

“You killed him?”

The crowd cried out in astonishment.

In particular, Liu San and Zi Xiao’er were appalled and enraged beyond description.

The four elders of the Tianyi Palace had always been in the same boat. Although they were not bosom friends, they shared a fairly good relationship as fellow disciples. But to everyone’s shock, one of the four elders had already died.

“Let’s hold him back and wait for Sect Master to come... The Ruthless Nebula Sword! Kill him!”

Another big sword appeared in Liu San’s hand, which was another extraordinary treasure. As the sword vibrated, endless beams of sword light shot out from it and completely submerged Li Mu.

In the meantime, there was a crazy look flashing in his eyes. Liu San swiftly approached Li Mu as if he were a mad dragon coming out of his nest, his sword madly hacking at Li Mu as he performed his best moves.

At the same time, Zi Xiao’er, who had a tacit understanding with Liu San, transformed into numerous phantoms. With the sword light swirling in her hand, she arrived at Li Mu’s side faster than Liu San, even though Liu San had a head start. Countless phantoms surrounded Li Mu, attempting to hit his major acupoints.

Just as Li Mu was ready to punch the woman into the air, Liu San’s sword immediately arrived with unparalleled momentum.

The cooperation between the two was extremely smooth. It was as though they had combined into one. Zi Xiao’er had adopted the ethereal and elegant strategy, while Liu San had taken on the fierce and domineering style. With them complementing each other, their power was multiplied. The moves they made even secretly conformed to some kind of sword formation.

Li Mu’s fists and arms were as indestructible as divine weapons. Having opened his Third Eye, he was able to foresee the enemies’ moves. His bare palms continued knocking the sword and the phantoms away, keeping a perfect defense.

“The four elders of the Tianyi Palace must have created a kind of sword formation enabling the four to attack in unison. The joint strikes launched by Liu San and Zi Xiao’er have already generated a certain wonderful reaction. If the four elders were here and joined forces, I’m afraid the formation would be even stronger.”

Li Mu thought to himself.

Moments later, all of a sudden—

“Swoosh!”

A stream of sword light suddenly erupted from somewhere afar. It rapidly zoomed over, aiming at the vital part of Li Mu’s back.

It turned out that Meng Changhun the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword, who had been knocked out, abruptly bounced back and launched a strike. And his timing was just impeccable.

As for Liu San and Zi Xiao’er, they seemed to have anticipated Meng Changhun’s strike. They started to attack Li Mu from left and right respectively, making it impossible for Li Mu to escape and call for help.

“My Sword is as traceless as the autumn wind!” Meng Changhun cried out in rage.

By performing his best sword move, Meng Changhun stabbed Li Mu in the middle of the back. The handsome man’s face was ferocious and distorted by wrath. After being humiliated by Li Mu like that, the moment to kill Li Mu with one strike finally arrived. Therefore, Meng Changhun mustered every bit of his power and made the most powerful move, the Traceless Sword in Autumn Wind. His power burst out without reservation and continuously attacked Li Mu in the back along the blade of the sword.

“Drop dead! Let me wash away my shame with your sinned blood.”

In fact, when Liu San and Zi Xiao’er launched the second round of attack, Meng Changhun already communicated with them through their sect’s secret communication method.

This perfect opportunity to launch the lethal attack was, in fact, purposefully created.

The sword light and the phantoms suddenly disappeared.

The figures came to a halt.

Liu San’s and Zi Xiao’er’s faces lit up with joy.

Drop by drop, a kind of red liquid dribbled down Meng Changhun’s sword from the middle of Li Mu’s back.

The crowd who were watching the battle also widened their eyes.

“Is he dead?”

“Has this demon finally been killed?

Li Mu stood still on the spot, as though he had lost the ability to fight back.

All of a sudden, Liu San noticed something, and a startled expression appeared on his face. He opened its mouth and shouted in alarm, “Oh no, retreat now...”

Before his voice died away—

Li Mu reached for his back and grabbed Meng Changhun, who hadn’t smelled the danger, as though he was a rag doll. Then, Li Mu said, “Moron, how could I fail to notice your little trick? You’re so conceited... Go to hell.”

A wave of Broadsword Intent instantly burst out from Li Mu’s palm.

Meng Changhun screamed in horror, but it didn’t help. The Broadsword Intent of the Great Heat invaded his body, and he immediately turned into a ball of fire.

It was not until the last moment of his life that this handsome Soldier Realm cultivator in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region found that he was only holding half of his sword. The red liquid that flowed down the blade before was not Li Mu’s blood, but the other half of the sword that was directly melted by the terrible heat. In other words, his sword was directly liquified by an incomprehensible high temperature the moment it touched the middle of Li Mu’s back.

The blade didn’t even pierce into his flesh at all.

“Rumble!”

Meng Changhun’s body was reduced to ashes in Li Mu’s palm.

“Retreat!”

“Quick, run!”

Lui San, who had been known for his arrogance and pride, and Zi Xiao’er, who had mesmerized all the men who met her, lost the will to fight at the same time.

Li Mu’s strength was far beyond their expectation. He was simply a monster. Now that he couldn’t be killed in this way, he was definitely not someone they could deal with.

After Li Mu built the Life-and-Death Bridge and advanced to the great completeness of the Mortal Realm, not only did his strength grew, but also the speed of his Somersault Cloud powered by the natural qi of the Mortal Realm was considerably increased. Now, Li Mu was absolutely not a man they could outrun.

In the face of Li Mu, who had made up his mind to kill them all, how could they really escape?

The crowd around abruptly saw a blur. The next moment, two Li Mu suddenly appeared. The two simultaneously threw a punch at Liu San and Zi Xiao’er from opposite sides. Then, Liu San and Zi Xiao’er, who had barely run 100 meters away from Li Mu, were hit by the blows. The former turned into raindrops and evaporated, whereas, Zi Xiao’er’s body was shattered into snowflakes, fluttering and scattering in the void.

This scene was both beautiful and dangerous.

Then, the two Li Mu instantly merged into one.

The three cultivators in the Soldier Realm from the Tianyi Palace had joined forces to kill Li Mu. As far as the masses knew, it was supposed to be an absolute doom for Li Mu. However, in less than a quarter of an hour, the three cultivators were all slaughtered. Seeing that, the surrounding cultivators who had initially vowed to kill Li Mu felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Their hands and feet were now freezing cold. Like a poisonous serpent that had completely woken up when the spring arrived, the fear in their hearts could no longer be retained. It erupted like a volcano and then drowned them like a flood.

When Li Mu’s eyes swept over them, some people immediately turned around and fled. How they wished that they could be born with an extra pair of legs!

Second Senior Fellow Apprentice, who was watching the battle from the side, also dropped his jaw.

What just happened?

How come Li Mu, who was still on par with him in Gold Town, had become so fierce?

The pig spirit vaguely felt that he was now looking at a man that remotely resembled a person who had already become a little hazy in his memory.

Could Li Mu be that person’s reincarnation?

He was wild!

Li Mu looked up at the sky.

The battle among the three General Realm masters was still going on.

The divine flames that hellish three-headed dog breathed had burnt half of the sky. Its three heads were still barking, trying to tear up the enemy. The Dharma-laksana Projection of the mining slave was manipulating the black rocks, which constantly ground the mass of Primeval Qi the “Celestial Master” was hiding in like huge millstones. Meanwhile, jets of sword light and silver threads continued to shoot out from the mass of Primeval Qi. The mining slave still appeared to be indestructible as a mountain.

Li Mu’s eyes were burning with the desire to fight.

Staring at the hellish three-headed dog, he observed it with his Third Eye, trying to determine its strength.

“Wait a minute. Sect Master, you can’t be...” Astounded by Li Mu’s expression, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice said, “You can’t be thinking about suicidally challenging the General Realm masters, can you? You are carried away by your ego! The power of the General Realm masters way surpasses that of the Soldier Realm. It’s at a much higher level. You really can’t...”

Before his voice died away—

Out of the blue, Li Mu attacked.

His palm stuck into the void beside Second Senior Fellow Apprentice as if it had penetrated the surface of the water. As the ripples of the void spread, a dark figure directly emerged from the transparent void.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”

A sharp cry rang out.

That figure had a rat-like face, slender limbs, and silver-gray hair all over his body. His voice also sounded like that of a rat. He must be a rat spirit. A moment ago, he was hiding in the void, ready to launch a sneak attack on Second Senior Fellow Apprentice. However, his plot was discovered by Li Mu, and he was caught right on the spot.

“The Void Rat!”

“He is a natural assassin, but Li Mu has caught him...”

The surrounding cultivators who had not left yet exclaimed when they saw the big rat spirit.

The members of the Void Rat Clan were extremely scarce in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, but they were tyrants in the Ziwei Star Zone. Relying on their horrifying reproduction ability, innate magic power to conceal themselves, and strong vitality, they could survive in many dilapidated places with tenacious vitality. They often took action in groups and were extremely good at assassination. It could be said that it was impossible to defend against them. Hence, they were also notorious for their ferocity.

It was really surprising that a Void Rat was seen at today’s battlefield.

He must have also come to kill Li Mu and win the bounty.

The Void Rat gripped by Li Mu’s hand was screaming fiercely. His small black eyes flashed with a fierce and vicious light. He struggled several times, but couldn’t break free. Then, he turned his head and opened its mouth, sinking his teeth that were as sharp as a knife into the back of Li Mu’s hand.

But the next moment, his squeaking voice turned into a cry of pain.

Blue frost extended along its teeth and instantly reached its mouth and its body.

It was the Broadsword Intent of the Great Gold.

It was the coldness of the bitterest winter that could freeze everything.

This Void Rat was instantly turned into an ice sculpture.

Li Mu gently pinched it, and the huge rat turned into pieces of ice and fell to the ground.

Second Senior Fellow Apprentice was dumbfounded. A look of shock and fear appeared on his face.

Had it not been for Li Mu’s help, he would have been bitten by the big rat spirit.

At this time, in the surrounding void, a hubbub of ear-splitting rat creaking was heard. Then, like a tide rising from the flat ground, faintly discernible transparent shadows appeared from all sides and started to dash here and there like flickering light spots.

Inexplicable horrible killing intent abruptly wrapped Li Mu and the other two in like a tornado.

“Ah...” Second Senior Fellow Apprentice screamed at the top of his voice.

The one thing he feared most was rats.

Upon further detection, Li Mu realized that there were at least hundreds of Void Rats nearby. He then furrowed his brows and took on a look of impatience.

“Kill!”

Twenty-four flying broadswords shining ominously flew out of the case on Li Mu’s back. They swept across the void and annihilated everything in their path. Blood spots started to appear in the void, and the shrilling screams of rats were heard.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak, Li Mu... How dare you harm my fellows. Squeak, squeak. You’re now my sworn enemy!”

A giant, hideous face flashed in the distance. The figure cursed furiously and then turned tail and fled.

He ought to be the king of these Void Rats.

Void Rats were gregarious creatures. They usually attacked and retreated together. So, there had to be a Rat King to lead the rat pack. The strength of the Rat King practically determined the strength of the whole Void Rat Pack. The strength of this Rat King was around the medium stage of Soldier Realm. If it had not been for his great talent in hiding himself in the void, he would not have been able to escape from Li Mu at all.

As the Rat King fled, the creaking sounds of the rat pack quickly died away.

Li Mu did not chase after him.

Instead, he leaped into the air and flew straight toward the hellish three-headed dog.

Today, he would fight those in the General Realm!
