The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 820 The Cloud Light Saintess

Elder Jian returned to his peak state by executing a secret skill. His vigorous Qi and power made many people on the swordsmanship contest square feel excited. At first, they thought that he would reverse the situation, but unexpectedly... He was killed in the blink of an eye in the end.

Thud!

His head fell to the ground.

Then his body slowly collapsed.

Blood gushed onto the mirror-like stone floor.

The eyes of many practitioners nearly popped out of their heads.

The people of the so-called immortal sects in Mount Shong World were just scattered soldiers and mobs on the battlefield many years ago. Those minions were not even comparable to powerful masters like the young Taoist priest from the Chunyang Clan named Indestructible. How could they be a match for Li Mu?

“The Divine Alliance of the Five Great Mountains?”

Li Mu looked at the people at the place where Elder Jian used to be seated.

“All of you are the people of the Divine Alliance of the Five Great Mountains, right? Do you have anything to say?”

The faces of those people changed.

The Divine Alliance of the Five Great Mountains was a generic term for the various sects based in Mount Shong and the other four great mountains in Hero Country, but it did not include all the sects in these five great mountains. Elder Jian became the leader of the alliance with the support of some major forces and relying on his own strength. He conquered all the people of those sects.

These people were once defeated by Elder Jian. However, although Elder Jian was very powerful and in his prime, Li Mu defeated him with just one move. How could they dare to stand up for Elder Jian now?

“Go back to your own worlds and don’t make any mistakes.”

Li Mu said.

His voice sounded resolute and unquestionable.

These people were like hyenas in Xuantian Mountain. They couldn’t do anything right. Maybe they would turn around and help the wicked when the people of the six major clans came through the Gate of the Ancestors.

However, Li Mu could not start killing just because of his conjecture.

Therefore, the most feasible plan was to drive them back to their respective worlds in various famous mountains.

All the practitioners of the Divine Alliance of the Five Great Mountains looked embarrassed and a little hesitant.

How could they be willing to return when they had such a rare opportunity?

They would feel ashamed if they were so easily scared away by a few words.

However, if they didn’t go back, none of them could withstand Li Mu’s broadsword attack.

They were caught in a dilemma.

They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha, are you Li Mu?”

A hearty laugh rang out. With a flash of black light, a tall and thin young man with a pair of red horns on his head appeared on the square.

This man’s face was the color of red dates, his eyebrows were crimson, and his long face looked ferocious. He glanced at Li Mu, clapped his hands, and said, “Good broadsword skill. Considering the strike you made just now, you are indeed qualified to have a place in Xuantian Mountain.”

Li Mu stared coldly at the lanky young man.

Previously, when he scrutinized Xuantian Mountain with his Third Eye from the sky, he saw numerous columns of Qi soaring into the sky. Amongst them, ten of the columns were the most powerful, looking like divine pillars supporting the sky and representing some powerful masters at high cultivation levels. Judging from the lanky young man’s aura, he was one of those masters.

“I’m Dongguo Qi. I’m very happy to discover that your broadsword skills are amazing. I would like to learn something from you. May I?” The lanky young man stared at Li Mu with a smile on his face.

However, there was cold killing intent in his smile. Although it was not obvious, it was still bone-chilling cold.

Li Mu could clearly feel Dongguo Qi’s deep hostility toward him.

Just then, laughter could be heard from the stone steps.

“Ha-ha, Mr. Li, let me introduce him to you. This is Young Master Dongguo. He is one of the contemporary successors of the Dongguo Family. He specializes in the broadsword-using methods and is known as one of the top ten broadsword-using masters in the 3,000 small worlds. He is not to be underestimated.”

A figure flashed by.

The handsome young Taoist priest named Indestructible walked up, clad in his Taoist robe.

Li Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Obviously, the young Taoist priest was reminding Li Mu that Dongguo Qi was a very powerful master with a strong background instead of someone whom minions and mobs like Elder Jian could be compared to, and therefore, Li Mu had to be careful.

“What do you mean? Do you want to get involved?”

Dongguo Qi asked the young Taoist priest. His crimson eyebrows furrowed tightly, which made them look like a long broadsword the sky.

“No. I’ve already had a competition with Mr. Li.” The young Taoist priest made a salute with one hand and smiled.

“Oh?” Dongguo Qi said, “So, have you gotten the Pure Yang Sword?”

“No.” The young Taoist priest shook his head.

“Oh?” Dongguo Qi said, “Did you lose the competition?”

The young Taoist priest was about to say something.

Just then, Li Mu said, “I lost.”

A faint smile flashed across Dongguo Qi’s face. He said, “It is said that your God’s Right Arm has the power to kill gods and devils. Therefore, it is not surprising that you can defeat Li Mu, who performed the broadsword skill just now. Now that you can defeat him, so can I.”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Mu and said, “Bring it on. Draw your broadsword.”

The young Taoist priest named Indestructible had a hunch that something bad was about to happen.

He stepped up to ease the tension between Li Mu and Dongguo Qi and prevent them from fighting so that Li Mu would not provoke the entire group of immortal sects. After all, there were some grudges between Senior Yu and many immortals sects back then. He didn’t want the same thing to happen again. However, he didn’t expect that he would fail to ease the tension and make the situation worse.

Li Mu said, “Okay.”

He directly launched a strike with his broadsword.

Dongguo Qi guffawed and put his palms together. Then, he pulled out a spinning Buddhist broadsword from the front of his chest. It seemed that the broadsword came out of nowhere. He gripped the handle of his broadsword with one hand and thrust it at Li Mu in an extremely casual manner.

Clang!

The Samsara Knife collided with the Buddhist broadsword.

They separated as soon as they collided with each other.

Li Mu held the Samsara Knife in his hands and stood there motionless.

However, Dongguo Qi’s arm trembled slightly, and the broadsword in his right hand shook nonstop. The veins on the back of his right hand rippled like crawling maggots. In the end, the Buddhist broadsword started to shake more violently, as if it were controlled by an invisible terrifying force. He tried to stabilize the broadsword with his right hand, but he could not stop it from shaking with only one hand.

He looked at Li Mu in shock, pressed his left hand on the back of his right hand, and exerted more strength to stabilize his Buddhist broadsword.

After a long time, the vibrating sound from the Buddhist broadsword finally stopped.

It wasn’t until then that the red marks and blue veins on the back of Dongguo Qi’s hands began to fade away.

At a glance, the crowd immediately understood that Dongguo Qi, the successor of the Dongguo Family, had completely lost the fight.

Although most practitioners couldn’t find out the secret and truth of the fight, they were greatly surprised that Li Mu was able to defeat Dongguo Qi, who was known as the “Small Knife Demon”, with just one strike. Having witnessed Li Mu’s terrifying power, they no longer dared to regard him as a nobody from the mortal world who they thought made a name for himself purely by luck.

The young Taoist priest named Indestructible also felt quite surprised.

He knew Li Mu’s background. Previously, he thought that Li Mu would not be defeated, but now it seemed that Li Mu was more than invincible.

The little Taoist novice sitting on the stone seat supported his chin with his hands and murmured to himself, “Ah, it’s getting more and more interesting.”

Amidst the exclamations and discussions around the square, Dongguo Qi’s face was as red as blood.

“Good, very good.” He stared at Li Mu and said, “I was careless. I will surely do something about my defeat in the future. Li Mu, we will meet again. Today, I feel ashamed to stay here any longer.”

After that, he directly turned into a stream of light and flew out of Mount Tianxuan.

He left directly.

Li Mu felt greatly surprised.

“Dongguo Qi is quite interesting.”

“Mr. Li, let’s call it a day.” The young Taoist priest named Indestructible hurriedly reminded Li Mu. “Just wait for the Gate of the Ancestors to open.”

Just when Li Mu was about to say something, another voice rang out.

“How can you call it a day? I’m afraid this is just the beginning.”

A figure sitting cross-legged in the void three feet above the stone steps in the east suddenly opened one of her closed eyes.

“When did the mobs from the mortal world ever get away with challenging the authority of an immortal sect? Indestructible! The Chunyang Clan is one of the immortal sects. Don’t forget your own dignity and honor!”

The figure stood up. She was a graceful and slim woman with a divine halo floating behind her head. As she walked slowly through the void, white pistils appeared under her feet and fairy flowers grew in the void. Her snow-white feet were surrounded by white pistils, and she looked just like a fairy among flowers.

In an instant, the entire swordsmanship contest square quieted down.

All the people were looking at the figure walking among the flowers with awe in their eyes.

“She’s the Cloud Light Saintess.”

A trace of fear flashed across the eyes of the young Taoist priest named Indestructible.

“Li Mu is not an ordinary person. He is Senior Yu’s successor.”

Noticing that the situation took a turn for the worse, he hurriedly revealed Li Mu’s identity.

That was not a secret anyway.

“Ha-ha, so what? That old fella committed countless crimes and caused a lot of trouble for the immortal sects relying on his high cultivation level. If it hadn’t been for the fact that our ancestors had something important to attend to, they would have killed him long ago. That old man deserved to be killed. Now, his successor has shown unbearable arrogance and monstrousness. They are the same kind of people, and we should kill them to defend the authority of immortal sects.”

The voice of the Cloud Light Saintess was very cold.

The face of the young Taoist priest named Indestructible changed drastically.

He still wanted to say something, but the Cloud Light Saintess glanced at him and shouted, “Indestructible, why don’t you step back?”

“Be careful.”

The young Taoist priest glanced at Li Mu, turned around, and returned to his seat.

Obviously, he was extremely afraid of the Cloud Light Saintess. It was not only because she was very powerful, but also because her status was much higher than his.

“Kill yourself.”

The Cloud Light Saintess stared coldly at Li Mu.

Li Mu could vaguely guess that the woman floating in the air should be a high-level figure among the descendants of gods. The way she talked and behaved gave people the impression that she was like a queen who ruled over everything.

“Why do you want me to kill myself?” Li Mu smiled. “How could I do that just because of a word from a crazy woman like you?”

“How dare you call me a crazy woman?”

The pupils of the Cloud Light Saintess instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip. With a cold look on her face, she said, “Ha-ha, no one has ever dared to talk to me like that. You’re just a nobody from the mortal world. What a shame! You don’t even know what awe is. You deserve to die... Who will kill him for me?”

Her last word was meant for the practitioners around the swordsmanship contest square.

“I’m willing to kill this madman for you.”

A figure came out of the crowd. It was a white man dressed in a white tuxedo and he wore a top hat. He was dressed like a western gentleman living in the Middle Ages. He had a black beard and an aquiline nose. His appearance was in line with the western aesthetic standards. He could be regarded as a handsome man in the western world. He held a pure gold deer-head cane and had a fawning smile on his face.
