The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 719 One Can’t Avoid One’s Enemy

“Tell me the truth, why did you come back?” Li Mu asked.

He couldn’t buy the Gold and Silver King’s story about leading its army of blood bats back to rescue him.

In the distance, the army of blood bats appeared to be in a flap. They were clearly running for their lives.

“Er, Big Brother, what are you talking about? Big brother, how could I be that sort of person? Course it’s because I’m concerned about your safety...” The Gold and Silver King forced a smile and defended himself.

Before his voice died away—

“Rumble!”

The earth quaked and the mountains swayed.

In the distance, a giant demonic ape towering into the clouds was marching toward them step by step. With its every step, the earth trembled. Li Mu only felt like he was watching the scene through a shaking camera.

In the hands of the giant demonic ape was a black flood dragon. The flood dragon was still struggling and trying to bite the hand. Yet, like a small snake captured by a human hunter, it could not escape at all.

With a shrill howl, the demonic ape eventually chewed up and swallowed the black flood dragon as if eating spring onion.

By this time, the giant ape was already less than 10 kilometers away from Li Mu.

“Ahhh, run...”

The Gold and Silver King screamed and fled like mad with his subjects.

Li Mu saw that as soon as the giant demonic ape opened its mouth and inhaled, countless blood bats were sucked into his mouth from 10 kilometers away. It was as if a giant was gulping water.

“What f*cking monster is this?”

Li Mu felt his hair stand on end.

Even from 10 kilometers away, he could still clearly smell the terrifying aura of the giant ape. It was definitely far stronger than the energy fluctuations emitted by a Peak-stage King Realm cultivator. The energy fluctuations of the five Peak-stage King Realm Resentful Spirits he just encountered were far inferior to that of the giant demonic ape.

“Is the ape in a realm higher than the King Realm?”

Li Mu almost cried out in alarm.

“For crying out loud...”

He suddenly understood why the Gold and Silver King had run in this direction with its subjects.

“It must have been chased back by the formidable giant demonic ape.

“Sure enough, the wimpy Gold and Silver King can’t be trusted.”

Li Mu looked back and found that the wimp had long gone with its subjects.

Li Mu repressed the urge to observe the giant dragon-eating ape with his Third Eye. He decided to run for it first.

Because this gruesome giant creature was surrounded by an invisible evil aura, which was absolutely fatal. The horrible energy fluctuations it produced, even if just spreading aimlessly, were powerful enough to quietly turn King Realm cultivators to powder.

Anyway, Li Mu had already obtained the Soul-replenishing Heavenly Herb, so he no longer had any special expectations for the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.

Fortunately, the giant dragon-eating ape did not notice Li Mu.

Step by step, it headed in the direction of the now picturesque mountain of bones.

About 20 minutes later.

Li Mu fled to somewhere tens of thousands of miles away. Then, he felt slightly relieved.

He skidded to a halt. Standing in the air, he looked in the direction of the mountain of bones.

“That giant dragon-eating ape is really terrifying. But the direction it is heading for... Could it be that it is going to challenge the 100-meter-tall giant sitting on the top of the new mountain of bones?”

Nonetheless, whether it was the demonic ape or the 100-meter-tall giant, they were not the existences that Li Mu could assess.

“This is too appalling.

“The danger in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm is really far beyond imagination.

“Something terrible had really happened.”

Li Mu was still badly shaken. After thinking for a while, he decided to stay away from that area and find a relatively safe place to stay until the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm closed.

Even though he was extremely curious, Li Mu warned himself inwardly that he must not go back to watch the battle between the two horrible existences. That was definitely not something he could watch with his current strength and cultivation. If he was not careful, he would die and lose his cultivation for good.

He knew that curiosity killed the cat.

Just as Li Mu prepared to leave, there was suddenly a flash of light in the distance.

It turned out that the Gold and Silver King had once again flown back with its subjects.

“Big Brother...” The Gold and Silver King’s eyes brimmed with tears when he saw Li Mu. “Big Brother! Are you all right, Big Brother?”

Li Mu was puzzled.

“What the hell is going on?”

“Big Brother, after doing some thinking, I realized I still couldn’t bear to leave you behind. What matters most in brotherhood? Loyalty, of course!” The Gold and Silver King fluttered over and shouted, “That giant dragon-eating ape is too terrifying. Big brother, I’ll go hold it up for you. You should run. Quick!”

After saying that, without waiting for Li Mu’s response, it turned into a streak of gold-and-silver light and dashed along the way it came.

The dense swarm of bats followed closely behind it like a tornado.

Li Mu was bemused.

“Could it be that its conscience finally stirred and so it doubled back to bring up the rear?

“Seems that this female bat is not really that heartless.”

As Li Mu mused, he suddenly felt a strange energy fluctuation. He looked back at the place where the Gold and Silver King came from and saw that in the sky hundreds of miles away, a nine-headed divine bird with colorful tail feathers and a pair of huge wings that looked like drooping clouds was flying toward him.

The nine-headed divine bird was emitting a destructive aura. In its wake, a colorful divine flame set everything on fire. Black marks were burnt in the space barrier. Like the tail gas of a jet plane, the long streak of flame was burning the sky and the earth.

“D*mn it!”

Li Mu cursed in his mind and turned to run at once.

“Gold and Silver King, you son of a b*tch!

“Hell with your loyalty!

“It’s obvious that you bumped into this terrifying nine-headed divine bird on your way to escape and had to double back to save your neck. You said you were back to bring up the rear. What a lie... Well, I was moved for nothing.”

The nine-headed divine bird’s energy fluctuations were not any weaker than those of the giant dragon-eating ape from earlier. It was also an existence that surpassed the King Realm.

“What on earth is written on the almanac today? How did I keep running into such big potatoes?” Li Mu muttered as he fled.

If the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm was really this dangerous, then the major clans and forces in the Ziwei Star Zone definitely would not have sent their best Heavenly Legends in here for the so-called opportunities, for that would be equivalent to sending them to get killed instead.

All the previous incidents considered, Li Mu was basically sure that there had been some changes in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm that the entire Ziwei Star Zone had not known about yet.

This type of unforeseen change was extremely deadly.

Perhaps, it could alter the fate of the entire Ziwei Star Zone.

The nine-headed divine bird seemed slow. However, it gave one an absurd feeling that it could transcend time and space.

Li Mu did not dare to flee in a straight line. He could only pick another direction and flew as fast as he could.

Thankfully, the nine-headed divine bird had no interest in hunting other creatures.

Obviously, it had spotted Li Mu.

Nevertheless, it only turned one of its heads to take a casual glance at him.

But this one glance gave Li Mu the terrible illusion that he was targeted by Death, which almost caused him to fall from the sky.

By the time the nine-headed divine bird flew away, Li Mu was already drenched in a cold sweat.

He resisted the fear inside and looked back. To his surprise, the nine-headed divine bird was also flying in the direction of the new mountain of bones.

“Huh? That giant dragon-eating ape and this nine-headed divine bird... are both heading toward the mountain of bones. Are they all going to challenge the 100-meter-tall giant sitting on the top of the mountain of bones? Are they really preparing to challenge him? Or perhaps worship him?”

Li Mu was really curious to the extreme.

However, he forcibly suppressed his curiosity, chose a direction, and continued to flee.

There was no doubt that to get as far away from the mountain of bones as he could was the absolutely safe plan.

Li Mu flew dozens of kilometers away again.

What he would never have imagined was that the same thing happened again.

The Gold and Silver King, who’d previously fled without a trace, had once more led his flock of bats flying furiously toward him.

“Big brother? Haha, what a coincidence! Here we meet again.” The Gold and Silver King’s smile was exceedingly wretched. “Haha, this must be the design of fate.”

“D*mn your f*cking fate!”

Good-tempered as Li Mu was, he involuntarily wanted to swear.

“Can you be more shameless?

“No. This is not right.”

He suddenly realized that this bat had turned around and doubled back again. “Could it be...”

“Rumble!”

“Rumble! Rumble!”

He felt heaven and earth shake again.

Li Mu looked in the direction that the Gold and Silver King fled from and saw a colossal figure in the distance. It was striding step by step toward him. With each step, it crossed 10 kilometers, and the earth trembled under his feet.

“Could it be that the giant dragon-eating ape has come back?”

Li Mu was alarmed.

But when he took a closer look, he found that it wasn’t that giant dragon-eating ape.

“It is... a headless...

“A headless corpse!

“What the hell?”

Soon, Li Mu saw clearly that it was the body of an enormous human-shaped creature. Its head had been cut off, and its neck was gushing with inky black demonic qi. It was holding a mottled ancient stone ax in one hand and a strange straw shield in the other. Weird sounds were coming out of its belly button. Step by step, it was marching in his direction.

“A headless demonic corpse?

“This headless demonic corpse is not any smaller than the giant dragon-eating ape.

“The most important thing is that its energy fluctuations are not slightly weaker than those of the flood dragon demonic ape and the nine-headed divine birds either.

“It’s another existence that has gone beyond the King Realm?”

Li Mu felt numb at the back of his head.

“Are the monsters above the King Realm gathered for a meeting today?”

“What the hell is going on? Is this the so-called Divine War?” Li Mu turned around and asked the Gold and Silver King.

But the next moment, Li Mu was exasperated.

The wimpy Gold and Silver King had already fled several hundred miles away without so much as a backward look.

Li Mu performed the Somersault Cloud and chased after it in the direction it fled.

Cowards all had one specialty, which was that they were particularly good at escaping. They were naturally sharp in picking a direction to escape.

Thus, following the cowardly Gold and Silver King should be the safest choice.

However, before they had even flown 300 miles, numerous figures appeared ahead. An extremely exquisite flying shuttle was zooming directly toward them. On the deck of the flying shuttle stood a figure in a snow-white robe. He was handsome, unrestrained, and possessed an extraordinary bearing.

Li Mu’s pupils quickly contracted.

“The young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan?

“Well... One really can’t avoid one’s enemy.

“Walking at night too often, one would inevitably run into ghosts. Can’t believe I’ve encountered my rival in love again at this juncture.”

Li Mu clearly knew that in Imperium Vulpes, the divine city, Huangfu Chengdao had offered a bounty for his life to all the people qualified to enter the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. Now this young master had bumped right into him, how could he let him go?

Most importantly, Huangfu Chengdao surely had an extremely terrifying protector by his side.

A sense of crisis swept over Li Mu.
