The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 870 More Powerful than Imagined

“What?

“The founder of Chunyang Clan has died in the battle. How is it possible?”

Li Mu was really shocked.

“Was the battle that fierce?

“What kind of god has the Wind Clan summoned? How could he be so terrifying? He’s even killed the head of one of the four major clans.

“Does that mean all the people of Chunyang Clan other than the Immortal Taoist have been killed?”

The stupid dog listened for a long time. In the end, he couldn’t help complaining, “Alas, your master is really interesting. He named you Athanasia and Immortal in the hope that you would be undying and indestructible, but now, you are about to be completely annihilated.”

“Get lost.”

Li Mu directly kicked the stupid dog into the air.

“Don’t be so cynical at this time.”

Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly saw flashes of light in the distance. In the blink of an eye, tens of figures came flying, landed in the abandoned garden, changed position, and encircled him and the Immortal Taoist.

Their leader was Yu Jingfeng, a peerless genius of the Wind Clan.

Feng San, an elder of the Wind Clan in the Deity Realm, who was fought off by Li Mu and fled in panic, was also among them.

The others were mostly the people of the Wind Clan. Li Mu was surprised to find that there were even three people wearing the Taoist robes of Chunyang Clan, who were obviously the disciples of Chunyang Clan.

“There he is!”

Feng San pointed at Li Mu with a look of hatred on his face, saying, “This bastard is here to ruin our plan again. He’s had a lucky escape. It seems that he has come across some opportunities, and his strength has improved a lot. Be careful, everyone.”

Surprisingly, his severed arm hadn’t grown back yet.

Li Mu’s Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword had caused severe damage to Feng San, and his golden primordial Qi could inflict serious physical harm to masters in the Deity Realm.

Among the people who came this time, there were two masters at the elementary level of Deity Realm from the Wind Clan. To Li Mu’s surprise, Yu Jingfeng’s aura was surging like raging waves in a vast ocean, and he has set foot in the Deity Realm.

“Li Mu, you’re courting death.” Yu Jingfeng stared fixedly at Li Mu and sent a secret message to other masters of the Wind Clan telling them to prepare a tactical formation quietly.

The people of the Wind Clan were quite puzzled about Li Mu’s strange way of escape. Therefore, Yu Jingfeng was more cautious this time. He decided to create a tactical formation as a barrier to prevent Li Mu from escaping.

The chasers dispersed to create a formation.

Li Mu watched silently without batting an eyelid. Without responding to Yu Jingfeng, he glanced at the three Taoist monks of Chunyang Clan wearing Taoist robes.

“Are you really the disciples of Chunyang Clan?” He said, “So, you’re in league with the Wind Clan now. You have turned your back on your masters and ancestors and betrayed the Chunyang Clan, haven’t you?”

“Have we turned our back on our masters and ancestors? Ha-ha, we are actually the disciples of the Wind Clan in the first place. We’ve been lying low within Chunyang Clan for several hundred years. That’s why we finally have the chance to make some contribution to the Wind Clan today. How can you say that we’ve deceived our masters and ancestors? Ha-ha-ha,” a middle-aged Taoist priest with a long black beard and an immortal aura roared with laughter. He had the malevolence unique to the disciples of the Wind Clan.

The other two disciples of Chunyang Clan began to laugh with him.

The Immortal Taoist was blind, but he could tell from the three people’s voices who they were. Shocked and angry, he said, “Senior Fellow Apprentice Zhou, Senior Fellow Apprentice Zheng, and Senior Fellow Apprentice Wang, you... Our master treats you as his own children. How can you... you...”

“His own children?” The Taoist priest surnamed Zhou with a long beard smiled faintly and said, “Chun Yang is an old bastard! He treats you and the Athanasia Taoist as his own children, and he has always been on guard against us. Anyway, he’s died at my hands. I know he’s given all the secret skills and Cultivation Method books of Chunyang Clan to you. As long as I can take you down and search your soul today, all the magic methods and skills of Chunyang Clan will belong to the Wind Clan.”

“Junior fellow apprentice, you are a smart person. If you are willing to hand over our sect’s secret mental cultivation method, I may let you have a decent ending,” the Taoist priest surnamed Wang said without expression.

Li Mu was shocked to hear what the three traitors said.

“The Wind Clan has deployed spies in Chunyang Clan...

“They’re so good at playing such tricks. Does that mean the Wind Clan already started to plot against the other divine clans of the Celestial Court hundreds of years ago?

“Can this be considered their foresight?”

Li Mu became more aware of the fact that the divine clans of the Celestial Court were not as united as they seemed, but instead, they were actually scheming and intriguing against each other.

“What’s the point of talking so much to them? Let’s just catch them, cripple them, crack their meridians, destroy their Dantian, and search their souls for secret skills. We can find whatever mental cultivation method we want,” the Taoist priest surnamed Zheng wearing a Taoist robe said with strong killing intent.

Broadsword Qi swirled around Li Mu.

With a stir of his mind, he created a tactical deployment with his invisible Broadsword Intent to protect the Immortal Taoist, who had basically lost the strength to fight. Then, he walked slowly toward Yu Jingfeng and the others.

“I’ve always wanted to ask you a question. Do you ever feel guilty for killing innocent mortals like that?” He asked the question word by word.

“Killing them is just like cutting the grass. Why should we feel guilty?” Yu Jingfeng sneered.

“Grass? They are living beings just like you, and they have parents and relatives too. You declare yourselves to be the masters of immortal sects. Do you really have no sympathy for them?” Li Mu found it really difficult to understand why those practitioners of immortal sects were so cold-blooded.

Yu Jingfeng sneered coldly. “The Great Way itself is ruthless. Sacrificing some mortals to help me attain it is no big deal, isn’t it?”

Right at that moment, someone made a gesture to him.

Finding that the tactical deployment was completed, he started to sneer with a murderous look on his face.

“Li Mu, you are just an ordinary mortal who gets lucky. I don’t need you to tell me what to do. Today, I will let you know the difference between immortals and mortals. Even though you’re highly talented, what can you do about it? You are doomed to be trampled by me. I will not only take you down, but also humiliate you and cut you into pieces with my sword.”

Yu Jingfeng expressed his jealousy and hatred toward Li Mu to his heart’s content.

He believed everything was under his control.

He had heard about how Li Mu defeated Feng San.

Although Li Mu had defeated a master at the elementary level of Deity Realm, Yu Jingfeng didn’t believe that Li Mu could defeat three masters in the Deity Realm plus more than ten practitioners at the peak level of the King Realm and Upper King Realm. Most importantly, Yu Jingfeng was already a master in the Deity Realm.

He wanted to take back the glory that Li Mu took away at the Immortal-Devil Assembly, and he was determined to make Li Mu suffer hundreds of times the humiliation he suffered that day.

He believed this should be the consequence of offending him.

“Kill him!”

Yu Jingfeng confidently waved his hand.

Two elders at the elementary level of Deity Realm beside him took action at the same time.

Instead of moving about to dodge the attack while fighting back, Li Mu chose to face the two elders head-on holding the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword in his right hand and the Samsara Knife in his left hand.

“Alright, let me ‘cut some grass’ too.”

Li Mu activated all his power without reservation.

Golden rays of divine light shot out of his body and surrounded him, making him look like a heavenly deity in Divine Armor.

Swoosh!

The rays of broadswords streaked through the sky.

“Ah...” In the first face-to-face encounter, one of the elders in the Deity Realm brandished his sword and took Li Mu’s strike head-on. As a result, his sword was broken, and he was directly cut in half at the waist. His face was distorted with sharp pain and shock, and blood squirted from his wound.

“What?”

When the other elder in the Deity Realm saw what happened, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

“I’ve heard from Feng San that Li Mu’s strength has improved a lot, but it’s beyond my expectation that it has improved to such an extent. Li Mu has just killed a master in the Deity Realm with only one strike. That’s simply crazy. After all, he was only a practitioner in the King Realm when he attended the Immortal-Devil Assembly. Is this the formidable side of a peerless genius who has ranked first on two lists and gotten on the Heaven Rankings List?”

Broadswords flashed.

Li Mu brandished his two broadswords like a killing god.

The elder in the Deity Realm kept losing ground. He did not dare to take Li Mu’s blows head-on at all.

“Something... seems wrong. How could this mortal be so terrifyingly powerful?” Yu Jingfeng found that something was not right. He was shocked, jealous and angry.

In the past tens of days, he didn’t agree with the people saying that he and Li Mu were two comparable geniuses among their peers.

He wanted to be the only top genius.

He wanted glory and honor all to himself. How could he allow Li Mu to be on a par with him?

“Everyone, let’s work together to besiege him with the Long Wind Tactical Formation and kill him,” Yu Jingfeng shouted with a gloomy look on his face.

As the future leader designated by the current lord of the Wind Clan, he had a special and high status. Even the ordinary elders of the Wind Clan at the elementary level of Deity Realm had to follow his instructions and orders.

Figures crisscrossed.

The people of the Wind Clan around him took action at the same time and created a tactical formation, ready to attack Li Mu together.

Feng San, who was scared out of his wits when he was overwhelmingly defeated by Li Mu, summoned up his courage and joined forces with the elder in the Deity Realm to attack Li Mu.

The fight was becoming increasingly intense.

Time went by quickly.

Li Mu could feel his golden primordial Qi surging wildly and endlessly in his body. It circulated in his meridians and surged through all the muscles and bones in every part of his body.

The strong power of golden runic chains surged through his entire body.

He made every move with unprecedented ease.

Clank!

His Samsara Knife broke the long sword in Feng San’s hand into pieces.

Amidst the light of flashing broadsword, Feng San had no time to free himself and retreat. As the golden light flashed, he suddenly stiffened, and a thin line of blood appeared from his left shoulder to his right thigh and then became thicker. His body was cut in half and collapsed to the ground.

“How could these golden runic chains be so powerful?”

Li Mu was pleasantly surprised.

He entered the Upper King Realm unknowingly while he was in a coma, so he had no idea about the most important process of runes refining. That was what he was most worried about.

The process of runes refining was very important for martial arts practitioners in the Upper King Realm. It was no less important than the process of feeling their internal power and primordial Qi for ordinary martial arts practitioners, and it was the cornerstone of the road of martial arts practice for those in the Upper King Realm and at higher levels. How far a martial arts practitioner could go on this road depended on the success or failure of the process of runes refining and the magnitude of the power contained in the runes.

Li Mu had previously speculated that after he reached the elementary level of Upper King Realm, he would probably be invincible among the practitioners in the Upper King Realm and could probably fight masters at the elementary level of Deity Realm, but it would be difficult for him to deal with those masters who were at the intermediate and high levels of Deity Realm.

“It seems that I underestimated myself at that time.

“I should be able to overwhelmingly defeat masters at the elementary level of Deity Realm.”

“Go to hell!”

Li Mu became more adept at controlling his power.

He moved like a flash of light.

As he changed position, he left behind a golden shadow at each position. That was just an optical illusion created by his fast motion. As the broadswords flashed, several masters of the Wind Clan fell to the ground. Although they had created a tactical formation, it was difficult for them to resist the power of Li Mu’s broadswords. They were chopped like melons and vegetables.

“No...”

The Taoist priest surnamed Zheng screamed in despair. Half of his body was lying on the ground.

He was less powerful than the elders in the Deity Realm. His body was cut in half by Li Mu’s broadsword, and the power of Li Mu’s golden runic chains almost took his life, leaving him no chance to recover at all.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The light of broadswords swirled.

Several masters of the Wind Clan had been knocked out by Li Mu, and Feng San and the other two masters in the Deity Realm had lost the ability to fight.

“You said you would trample me under your feet, didn’t you? Come on and make a move! I’ll give you a chance to do that,” said Li Mu.

With that, he walked slowly towards Yu Jingfeng like a killing god from hell.
