The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 646 Our People Can Never Be Wiped out

“Xuan’er!”

At once, Shan Tian’s wife let out a heart-wrenching scream and madly rushed toward her daughter’s body, which was lying on the cold ground.

She held her daughter tightly in her arms, whose body was still warm. Tears rolled down her face like a downpour as she cried her lungs out.

Shan Tian also trembled violently.

He felt like he could not breathe. And he refused to believe what just happened in front of him.

Dao Lan’s eyes turned red.

Wei Ximin looked at Shan Tian and said with a smile, “Brother Shan, I’m sorry. Your wife and daughter are kind of useful to me, so...” He reached out and seized Shan Tian’s wife by the head. With a burst of his strength, the head of this delicate woman, who had been in excruciating pain due to her daughter’s tragic death, exploded with a bang, and scarlet blood splashed everywhere.

“I’ll fight you to the death!” Shan Tian dashed over as if he had gone mad.

“Be patient. For now, I have no intention to kill you.” Wei Ximin waved his hand, and Shan Tian was sent flying backward. He hit the mainmast and fell, coughing up blood. Looking at the struggling Shan Tian, Wei Ximin added, “I still need you to help me find Li Mu.”

“Swoosh!”

Beams of sword light shot toward him like bitter rains.

Dao Lan launched another attack regardless of his own safety.

Wei Ximin smiled and said, “Are you angry? Idiot! You can hardly control your emotions. Your Sword Intent is tangible but spiritless. Given your current state, I strongly doubt if you can live up to the title of the top genius of the Dark Yellow Army.”

He pointed at Dao Lan with the tip of his index finger. Instantly, a black snake was looming around his fingertip.

“Bam!”

Dao Lan was sent flying.

Although Dao Lan had regained the Great Way after so many years of effort, it did take too long, and his injuries were not fully healed yet. Thus, how could he be the match for Wei Ximin, who had reined the Ziwei Star Zone for so many years?

Wei Ximin was indeed worthy of being known as the otherworldly genius of the Demonic Snake Abyss Tribe. After so many years, his strength had become inconceivably strong.

“You really disappointed me.”

Wei Ximin sighed with a look of despondency.

“You’re too weak.”

In the sky, a big battle had started.

The Black-armored Demonic Snake Abyss Army locked horns with the Dark Yellow Army. The new battle instantly erupted with the most dazzling sparks.

Roars and shouts filled the air.

Screams and howls shook the heaven.

Compared to the armies of the major sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region such as the Heavenly Devil Sect, the combat strength of the Black-armored Demonic Snake Abyss Army was clearly dozens of times stronger. Although their individual combat strength was still not as good as that of the Dark Yellow Army, the armored fighters continuously appeared from the blood-colored gate as if the army was endless. In terms of numbers, the Black-armored Demonic Snake Abyss Army had had an absolute edge over the Dark Yellow Army.

The two parties had been in a stalemate since the beginning of the battle.

However, as time passed, the members of the Black-armored Demonic Snake Abyss Army acted as if they had no fear. They kept charging to the frontline one after another in a frenzy. As a result, the advance of the Dark Yellow Army was obstructed. Soon, the latter was forced to retreat slowly as they had been put at a disadvantage.

Wei Ximin’s gaze swept across the armored soldiers of the Dark Yellow Army who were roaring that they would fight to the death. He sighed with emotions and muttered, “This is the last army of the sinners. It’s said that the Dark Yellow Army shall not have more than 10,000 members, otherwise, it will be utterly invincible. It used to be one of the top three armies in the Ziwei Star Zone. Sadly, the sinners are hated and suppressed by everyone in the universe. No matter how strong the Dark Yellow Army is, it is just a piece of wood without roots or a stream without a source. It’s already quite impressive that it has managed to survive till today.”

Like a mad tiger, Dao Lan pounced on Wei Ximin again.

The latter casually lifted his hand.

“Rumble!”

Dao Lan was thrown to the air again.

Blood dyed the sky.

He crashed into the cabin of the “Sword of Freedom” before he hit the mainmast and knocked it down.

“From today on, the Dark Yellow Army will become a grain of dust in history.”

A hint of zeal climbed onto Wei Ximin’s face. But soon, he calmed down. Smiling, he remarked, “The honor of personally finishing off the last army of you sinners belongs to me now. But your performance is gravely disappointing. You are too weak, too weak to even arouse my interest in killing you. And I don’t even want to torture you anymore. Back then, you were a figure equally famous as me. Now, let me ask you, do you really measure up to that kind of fame?”

Dao Lan struggled and growled in wrath.

The huge crimson centipede-like scar on his waist burst open. Black blood flowed out. There were even many absurd and terrible things that looked like thin black snakes swimming in the blood.

“Are you furious?”

Gazing at the battlefield that had spread across the sky, and the soldiers of the Dark Yellow Army collapsed one after another while their blood dyed the sky red, Wei Ximin sighed with emotion.

“Fury can wake people up to reality and make them stronger. But in your case...” He looked at Dao Lan and said, “Haha, you used to be called my mortal enemy. But now, you are weaker than a dog. What can you do however furious you are? Remember this, the fury of the weak is both pitiful and sad.”

Dao Lan charged at him again.

Once more, Wei Ximin nonchalantly held up a hand and sent him flying backward.

“Open your eyes and look carefully. Those soldiers of the Dark Yellow Army who fell on the battlefield all died because of you. Originally, they might have been able to survive for a while longer.” Wei Ximin deliberately provoked Dao Lan with words. His heart-rending remark made Dao Lan almost lose his mind and slip into a violent rage.

Dao Lan roared like a beast.

He madly dashed forward, brandishing his sword.

But Wei Ximin sent him flying again and again.

“Don’t, don’t go attack him anymore...” Shan Yunxiu rushed over and held Dao Lan around the waist, saying, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have blamed you. It turns out that you’ve suffered so much.”

At this time, Shan Tian rushed out of the ruins, the rims of his eyes red.

“I’m gonna kill you...” Seeing the bodies of his wife and daughter, Shan Tian completely lost his sanity and charged over like crazy.

Wei Ximin stretched out his hand and grabbed hold of Shan Tian’s neck.

“Brother Shan, I’m sorry. But you should also feel the pain of losing your loved ones.” After saying that, he unceremoniously tossed him to the side. “I won’t kill you, for now, okay?”

“Bam!”

Shan Tian slammed against the deck. With loud cracking sounds, countless of his bones were broken.

Lying in a pool of blood, Shan Tian could not stand up. All his bones had been broken. Even so, he still held up his head with all his strength. His eyes were burning with flames of anger. He stared at Wei Ximin as if he were putting the most vicious curse in the world on him with his eyes. The look in his eyes could really make people shudder.

Wei Ximin, however, turned a blind eye to his glare.

“Do you know that back then, my family died at the hands of sinners?” His eyes flickered to Shan Tian, to the incensed Dao Lan, to Shan Yunxiu, and then to the sailors of the Sword of Freedom that were speeding over to shield Shan Tian. Then, he said, “The pain of losing one’s loved ones that I’ve tasted is not a bit less than what you’ve felt. When I held my four-year-old little sister who was lying in a pool of blood and watched my parents being murdered by sinners, I swore that one day, I would hang all the sinners in the universe and tear them to pieces.”

As he spoke, a black mist in the shape of a small snake shuttled through the space.

One after another, the sailors of the Sword of Freedom fell down with a look of pain on their faces.

They collapsed beside Shan Tian.

At this, Shan Tian became so infuriated that his facial features ghastly twisted.

These sailors were his old friends and buddies who had been by his side for many years. They were brothers to him.

Now, they fell in front of him one by one.

“Brother Shan, you really, really shouldn’t have helped Li Mu, a sinner.” Wei Ximin looked at Shan Tian calmly met his cursing glare as he said, “In fact, I admire the way you conduct yourself very much. You are a free man who travels in the universe and always follows your heart. I won’t hesitate to kill any of the people in the Shan family. But you’re an exception. You were not on my to-kill list at first. But you just have to do that kind of thing. So, I’d like to let you have a taste of the feeling of losing your family.”

“Kaboom!”

In the distance, a sudden earth-shattering energy explosion was heard.

A figure covered in a black cloak rapidly broke through the battle formation of the Black-armored Demonic Snake Abyss Army and frenetically rushed toward the Sword of Freedom like a ship sailing through wind and waves.

It was the leader of the Dark Yellow Army.

“Kill!”

Zhan Wuji the All-devouring Demon, who was also the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Devil Sect, bellowed and darted forward to fight him.

The two masters collided in the air.

All of a sudden, a series of frantic whoops came from the air.

The Dark Yellow Army, which had been losing grounds, suddenly reached the indescribable climax of their counterattack and began to pelt in the direction of the Sword of Freedom.

“Hold on, Dao Lan.”

A voice rang out from a silver flying ship that was far away.

A Taoist wearing a Taoist robe, holding a horsetail whisk in his left hand and a long sword in the right, blazed a way through the layers of the battle formation of the black-armored Demonic Snake Abyss with his sword and rushed toward the Sword of Freedom.

“A Celestial Master? Well, here comes another turtle trapped in the jar.”

Wei Ximin’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Behind him, a black shadow materialized and sprinted toward the old Taoist like a demon.

A terrifying battle between two men in the General Realm broke out in midair.

Wei Ximin laughed out loud and exclaimed, “That’s great. The more sinners appear, the better. It makes it easier to wipe them out in one go.”

Dao Lan roared, his eyes as scarlet as blood.

He shook Shan Yunxiu off his back and raced to Wei Ximin again.

The sword move he was performing had become messy.

“Never thought you’d want to die so badly. Unfortunately, I don’t want you dead for the moment.” Wei Ximin pointed a finger at him.

Shan Yunxiu moved like a bolt of lightning and darted in front of Dao Lan even though she set off late.

“Bam!”

“Ah... Ow!”

Between Shan Yunxiu’s chest and abdomen, there appeared a hole, which had penetrated her body. She clashed into Dao Lan’s body before flying out and falling on the deck.

The smile on Wei Ximin’s face was like that of a devil. He then remarked, “Dao Lan, you gotta stay alive. I want you to watch the last force of the Dark Yellow Army be wiped out. After that, I will take you to watch the massacre on your last home planet. Haha, do you really think that I have no idea where you have been hiding like mice all those years?”

“Yunxiu, Yunxiu...” Dao Lan held his dying lover in his arms, tears of blood running down his cheeks. But the scarlet color in his eyes gradually faded.

Wei Ximin watched this scene with great interest.

Carrying Shan Yunxiu in his arms, Dao Lan slowly got to his feet.

There was a trace of enlightenment in his eyes.

“Someone will avenge us. The descendants of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang can never be wiped out. The people of divine dragon lineage can be found everywhere in the universe.” He stared at Wei Ximin and said, “Today, even if the whole Dark Yellow Army is destroyed, even if that Celestial Master, the Primordial Stone, and I die here, you won’t be able to kill all the descendants of the divine dragon. The dragon’s roar will be heard forever in this universe.”

Wei Ximin’s expression slightly altered.

Dao Lan looked up at the battlefield in the sky and growled, “Don’t mind me! Retreat! Retreat!”

Wei Ximin’s eyes gradually turned cold. “Retreat? No one can leave... Today, no one can escape...”

Before his voice died away—

All of a sudden, something strange happened between heaven and earth.

Outside the silver tactic deployment, the dense Ghost Qi and Yin Qi abruptly surged like raging waves.

One by one, inky ghost ships parted the raging blocks of Yin Qi. Like the king sharks swimming in the sea, the ships were approaching the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.

The ghost ship at the very front was made of giant spirits’ white bones. On the top of the mainmast, a flag patterned with a large white skull was billowing. The flag was shrouded by the Ghost Qi. And three balls of ghost fire were flickering and swaying, forming three words—

“Bone Sacred Mountain!”
