Chapter 829 Rupture-Slaughter
Li Mu held the brass tripod foot in his hand and gasped for breath.
His energy had been greatly consumed by the continuous battles just now.
“God descendants are regarded as decent cultivators. Don’t you feel ashamed that you’re trying to rob me of this tripod foot?” Li Mu looked at them.
“The divine artifact is of the utmost importance, which ought to be managed by us. If it falls into your hands, there will be a great calamity,” another divine general of the Thunder Clan said arrogantly. “Li Mu, you’d better hand over the tripod foot instead of pushing your luck. Otherwise, if you go against our six clans, won’t it be a pity that your cultivation will be reduced to nothing in one blow?”
“You’re just a mortal without enough virtue, so how could you keep the divine artifact?” A divine general of the Cloud Clan said aggressively. “Don’t make a mistake. I’m doing this for your own good. Hand it over, and I’ll reward you handsomely.”
“Right. A man’s wealth is his own ruin. Li Mu, be smart and don’t get yourself into trouble.” A divine general of the Ghost Clan, who was like a ghost, said in a grating voice which sounded like two pieces of rusted iron rubbing against each other. “Such an event, which involves the fate of immortal sects, is beyond your capability to tackle. You’d better restrain yourself and leave the tripod foot.”
Li Mu was surrounded by at least dozens of people several layers deep, all of whom were elites from the Clans of Cloud, the Mist, the Ghost, and the Thunder.
“Divine descendants of your clans have already acquiesced in my blocking one of the six traitorous devils. Besides, I’ve made an agreement with Athanasia Taoist of the Chunyang Clan before.” Li Mu barely suppressed the anger in his heart.
Although these people were greedy, they were clans of god descendants after all. So the on-going problem was their internal conflict.
Therefore, Li Mu didn’t want to make the situation so rigid that it could not be reversed.
A divine general of the Thunder Clan smiled dismissively. “When did Chunyang Clan become the leader of our six clans?”
A divine general of the Ghost Clan chuckled. “Idiot. Don’t count on the Chunyang Clan or its Taoists. They can’t control us.”
“If you refuse, it’ll be difficult for you to leave this place alive.” The Cloud Clan General’s killing intent was evident.
A female General of Mist Clan pressed Li Mu harder. Her beautiful face was infused with chilling killing intent and frosty indifference, as well as a hint of a threat. She threatened, “if you hand it over, my Mist Clan will still remember our friendship. Otherwise, if you offend us, you’ll have nowhere to hide in the world. To tell you the truth, even if you escape successfully, you will be pursued for all eternity by god descendants. It’s better to make a manful decision. What’s more, the tripod foot is as useless as a piece of trash in your hands.”
“Hand it over.”
“Hurry up.”
“Hand it over or you’ll die!”
Cries of threats and promises rang out one after another.
Li Mu took a deep breath.
“Tigers have no intention of harming people, but humans have the intention of harming tigers.”
He had already made up his mind and laughed aloud.
“Bah, a group of stinky fish and shrimps. I tried to uphold your reputation and regard you as immortal generals. If you turn against me, you’re even worse than dog shit. Listen, I’ll say this only once. Get out of my way. I can forget what happened just now. Otherwise, my Samsara Knife will not care about any immortal generals or traitorous devils. If you continue to pester me, I’ll send you to the hell.”
Holding his broadsword, Li Mu stood there with a stern look after he spoke.
“Humph, you’re yearning for death.” The General of Cloud Clan didn’t like Li Mu at all. Because Li Mu had rebelled and attacked the Cloud Light Saintess twice at the Sword Competition Square. The General waved his hand and said, “Go ahead and kill him.”
“It’s a pity that you chose the wrong answer.” The female General of Mist Clan shook her head with a cold look.
Masters of the Cloud Clan swarmed to attack Li Mu.
Li Mu roared, “You forced me.”
The so-called god descendants of famous decent sects were no different from the six major traitorous devils.
He unsheathed his broadsword and its blade shone dazzlingly white, like snowflakes.
Puff!
Clink!
Blood and bones scattered everywhere. Weapons and armors were shattered.
Experts of the Cloud Clan who rushed over were all swept into the maelstrom of Li Mu’s broadsword movements in an instant. Li Mu didn’t show any mercy and seven or eight experts were hacked into pieces.
“Li Mu...” the General of Cloud Clan snarled, “how dare you?”
“All right. Even if you hand over the tripod foot, you’re a dead man for sure. No one can save you.” The General of Ghost Clan said dauntingly.
Li Mu was cold and calm. He slashed at his enemies, as easily as cutting grass.
“Bring these words to the Underworld.”
Since he had made his move, he wouldn’t show any mercy.
The other Generals seethed with rage.
“Li Mu, a mere mortal, dared to defy the authority of Divine Clans. What he did was absolutely unforgivable.”
“Kill him!”
“Charge! Kill this mortal who dares blaspheme against our divine might!”
“Kill him.”
The other three Generals also took action instantly.
The experts of Divine Clans swarmed toward Li Mu.
Another bloody battle had begun.
Li Mu was so angry that his anger stimulated his combat capability. Then, he attacked mercilessly.
Blood splattered everywhere in an instant.
Desperate shrieks were heard.
Li Mu slaughtered everyone and everything in his path as he fought back.
Experts of the Divine Clans were killed one after another.
“Li Mu, you stupid mortal, how dare you to be so presumptuous?”
The divine general of Cloud Clan roared and pointed a finger at Li Mu. It was the Three Heaven-shocking Fingers, a unique skill of the Cloud Clan. As the deployment laws swirled, a divine finger poked down from the sky, which was condensed by the clouds and pressed down upon Li Mu.
“You are foolish because of your self-righteousness.”
Li Mu switched to the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword.
He had discovered that this strange sword was exceptionally lethal to god descendants.
Puff!
He raised his hand and slashed with his broadsword.
The General of Cloud Clan was chopped in half.
“Ah, you...” The General was shocked beyond belief.
“Go to hell.”
Li Mu kicked him away and the General exploded in the air. However, Li Mu took on the spiritual finger. His body swayed, and he spat out blood. The sounds of his cervical vertebra and scapula breaking were heard.
Li Mu was forced to go down on one knee.
He activated the Xiantian Skill forcefully in order to nurse his blood and qi as well as to recover from his injuries.
At the same time, ghost shadows flickered.
A devil sword pierced into Li Mu’s back silently.
“Ha Ha, pitiful mortal, you’re dead.”
The General of Ghost Clan let out a sinister chuckle.
In order to defeat Li Mu, whose body was physically strong, he brought the Blood-devouring Sword, the magic weapon of Ghost Clan.
The Blood-devouring Sword was a sophisticated weapon. Only when the cultivation was integrated with the weapon, could the General pierce through Li Mu’s physical body.
Though Li Mu spat out blood, he was calm as if he was oblivious to the pain caused by the long sword piercing into his body. He punched back and blew up the General.
Exerting his muscles forcibly, he forced the Blood-devouring Sword out and threw it backward.
Swoosh!
The female General of Mist Clan was caught off guard. With a scream, she was pierced through and nailed to the void by the sword.
“What?”
The General of Thunder Clan was greatly shocked.
“Cover me.”
He shouted while he formed some hand sealing techniques at the same time. Then, he began to chant, using a mental cultivation method to unleash Thunder Magic.
Sounds of thunder echoed while lightning converged in the sky. They faintly condensed into an Apocalyptic Thunder Snake, which blew with unparalleled terrifying power.
As the General of Ghost Clan gathered his body form, his Ghost Qi was considerably reduced. It was obvious that he had been seriously injured. But he had no time to heal himself. With a hand wave, he grabbed the Blood-devouring Sword and rushed forward desperately. Together with masters from other clans, he fearlessly attacked Li Mu to gain time for the Thunder General.
It needed some time to weave the devastating Thunder Magic.
It was the biggest flaw of the Thunder Magic that was said to be powerful enough to kill Buddhas and immortals.
“Help, help, I don’t want to die...” Black devil blood poured forth from the chest of the Mist Clan General. Her breath instantly weakened and she slowly slid down into the void. It seemed that she was on the verge of death.
The devil sword, Blood-devouring Sword, was a forbidden weapon of the Ghost Clan. Even the General of Ghost Clan on the battlefield could not save her.
Li Mu felt the threat of Thunder Magic. So how could he give General of Thunder Clan enough time to cast the magic?
Ignoring the numerous swords hacking at him, Li Mu wielded the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword with internecine intent and swept across all the experts. In a trice, he approached the General of Thunder Clan and hacked at him with his broadsword.
Cling!
The sparks sputtered.
The General of Ghost Clan blocked the attack with his Blood-devouring Sword as if he had teleported.
Li Mu’s tremendous force shocked the Ghost General greatly, which made him lose his grip on his weapon. The devil sword, Blood-devouring Sword, flew out again.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed in the sky. A lightning snake about thousands of meters long emerged, looking very much alive.
Li Mu flashed to grab the Blood-devouring Sword, and stabbed toward it.
Swoosh!
The Ghost General, who was still recovering, was directly cut into several pieces.
“Ah...” The Ghost General was stupefied. Then, he shrieked with a terrified look, “Li Mu, please let me off!”
The Blood-devouring Sword could also restrain the experts’ power of Ghost Clan.
Li Mu was indifferent. His hair was stained with blood and he showed no mercy at all.
“Ha Ha Ha, Li Mu, you’re dead meat... Apocalyptic Thunder Snake, kill him for me!” The General of Thunder Clan cackled gleefully. His Thunder Magic was finally done. Then, he cast a seal in his hand and manipulated the huge long thunder snake to attack Li Mu.
Li Mu’s face was calm like a block of ice.
Brandishing the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword, Li Mu instantly approached the General of Thunder Clan by riding the Somersault Cloud.
The broadsword flashed.
The Thunder General’s head was lopped off from his shoulders. The smile on his face hadn’t faded away yet.
Boom!
The Apocalyptic Thunder Snake swooped down and opened its mouth to swallow Li Mu.
Boom!
The thunderstorm spread.
Without its master to control it, the thunder snake gradually became mad and turned into a terrible turbulence of thunder and lightning. It exploded and overflowed in the void, crazily thrashing around it like a storm. All those dead bodies, broken limbs, white bones, blood, the dying Mist General and experts of other clans, who had not managed to escape, were directly turned into ashes by the thunder and lightning plasma.
The entire void became a land of death.
A figure as black as charcoal stumbled out of the center of the lightning storm.
It was Li Mu.
“Ko Ko...” When he coughed, bits of lightning plasma and thunder came out of his mouth.
An unprecedented weakness enveloped Li Mu.
It had undoubtedly been a tough battle.
In the battle against Ancestor of Heavenly Deity Clan, Li Mu’s triumph could totally be attributed to the powerful physical strength and qi brought by the Zhenwu Boxing skill, which helped Li Mu exhaust the Ancestor to death. However, he was badly injured as well. Just now, in order to get rid of the four divine Generals and experts as quickly as possible, he lost a lot of energy again. In the end, he was swallowed by the Apocalyptic Thunder Snake. He relied totally on his physical strength to stay alive.
But Li Mu was almost a spent force now.
He was in a very miserable state right now.
His body was as weak as a rag doll and riddled with scars. His skin was seared by lightning and was black and cracked, like a dried riverbed. It was extremely horrible. As he moved, blood flowed out of the cracks. White bones could be seen from the cracked skin.
He had almost been cooked through.
“I have to leave as soon as possible.”
Li Mu took out a lot of elixirs and magical herbs from his storage space and swallowed them.
As he ran the cultivation method to heal himself, he was trying to figure out a way to leave the place.
If he left for Mount Tianxuan, he would definitely be ambushed again.
He had openly offended four clans this time. Even the Chunyang Clan wouldn’t be willing to get involved.
What the four divine clans had done, was no different from behaving like bandits. Besides, the attitude and behavior of Cloud Light Saintess and the others made Li Mu realize that he could not put too much hope on these arrogant god descendants. They didn’t show any sympathy to the human world at all, instead they only showed their contempt and disregard for their lives...
There seemed to be no difference between these people and the six traitorous clans.
Li Mu flexed his body and endured the pain bitterly.
The cracked carbonized skin began to fall off inch by inch, as if it was peeling.
“The tripod foot is to blame. I wonder what kind of tripod did it fall from.”
Li Mu held the brass tripod foot and observed it carefully.
His expression changed all of a sudden.
“It... seems to be Bi Yan. Is she in danger?”
Through the tripod foot, he could vaguely see a strange scene-Cloud Light Saintess was fighting with a woman in another strange dimension. The woman was covered in bloody wounds. She was dressed in a long green palace dress, with disheveled hair. Her tragic state failed to conceal her beauty. Who else could it be if not the Green Fox God, Bi Yan?
“What’s going on?”
Li Mu took a closer look at the tripod foot.
However, he found that the scene had disappeared.
How could he see that scene?
“Was that an illusion, or an ongoing truth?”
Li Mu’s thoughts flashed like lightning.
He realized that it was not simple.
The tripod foot was one fragment of the key. Athanasia Taoist Child had said before that if the six clans wanted to enter the solar system and land on Earth, the key was a must to break the tactical deployment of Star Graveyard. Each fragment represented a passage. In that case, the strange space where Li Mu was in, was one passage created by the tripod foot.
The other five fragments were held in the other five traitorous clans.
In other words, there were five similar spaces.
“Green Fox God, Bi Yan, is an immortal of the Heavenly Fox Clan and one of the leaders of six traitorous clans. The six major clans try to invade Earth in the solar system, so the Green Fox Tribe must have arrived. That is to say... Bi Yan must have come as well.”
As he thought of this, Li Mu’s heart shuddered.
He realized that what he saw just now was definitely not an illusion.
Bi Yan must be fighting with Cloud Light Saintess in another space at the moment.
She was in great danger.
Six fragments of the key were originally an integration. So they were connected to each other. It was the tripod foot that enabled Li Mu to see the scene in another space.
“What should I do?”
Li Mu was caught in a dilemma all of a sudden.
