The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 653 Baiyu Dynasty

When Li Mu d appeared at Mingyue Hotel wearing a mask, a Bi Dou game had just ended.

The first master Shooting Star Axe Zhu Mengyang from Heavenly Horse Star had killed Axe-chopping challenger Wind-fire Boxing Feng Haotai with his axe.

The blood on his axe was still wet. In the past few days, Bi Dou in the Governed Star Central City had started in three major hotels. Mingyue Hotel was one of them. It had set up a challenging arena so that the geniuses from the major planets in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region could start the challenge here.

Whoever won ten games in a row could enter the ranking list. There was still a fight for those on the ranking list.

Whoever finally made it to the top ten would be eligible to be recognized by the messenger of Heavenly Fox Clan and go to the home planet of Heavenly Fox Clan to participate in the little princess Daji’s martial arts contest for her hand in marriage. This rule had also made by the Heavenly Fox Clan.

Li Mu was sitting in the lobby of the hotel. He heard the discussion from everyone around him, and gradually understood this rule. “The Heavenly Fox Clan has so many stages of selection. How does it feel like the high school entrance examination on the earth? It’s a bit difficult.”

The arena was in the back straight of the hotel. As one of the three major hotels in Governed Star Central City, Mingyue Hotel was operated by the Baiyu Dynasty, a branch of Heavenly Fox Clan. It occupied a huge area. The back square was like a small drill ground. The temporary arena was rumoured to be big enough to withstand a full blow from the first stage general-level expert.

Only Heavenly Fox Clan could have come up with such a grand gesture. “Who else?”

The tall and thin Zhu Mengyang, with his hands reaching below the knees, was standing in the arena and challenging everyone around him aggressively. He had won eight games in a row.

Shooting Star Axe was a deadly weapon and he was cruel, and he was now only two games away from ten consecutive victories. No one around dared to respond.

“Haha. What a bunch of losers and cowards!” Zhu Mengyang sneered. His weapon, Shooting Star Axe, was a special weapon. Its blade body was like a giant axe, but it had no axe handle and was connected by a chain. There were two axes, which could be used for close combat or long-distance attack. It was unpredictable and adaptable to his own Half-Step general-level cultivation. Its ferocity was unparalleled.

Zhu Mengyang clamored for a moment, and another young swordsman came up to challenge. After a hundred moves, the swordsman was lost.

“I’m giving up.” The swordman quickly withdrew his sword and backed away. Zhu Mengyang laughed loudly, “Since you’re on stage, how could you expect to go back alive?”

Shooting Star Axe took a circle in the air, like two arms, directly forcing the young swordman who had already jumped out of the arena back. “Why the rush to kill? I have already surrendered, I...” The young swordman panicked.

Zhu Mengyang had a cruel smile on his face, “If I don’t kill you, how can I show how good I am? Especially for a man as insignificant as you. Do you really think you can challenge me casually?”

Finally, the young swordman was cut in half by Shooting Star Axe and died on the spot. “We have a winner in the ninth game.”

A clerk of Heavenly Fox Clan was recording the winning streak. “Kill one more, that will be enough.”

Zhu Mengyang was so fierce. He scanned the entire square, but no one dared to look at him. He waited for a while, but no one dared to come up on stage.

Zhu Mengyang was a little anxious. He stared directly at the monks in the square one by one. When other people met his fierce gaze, they all instantly bowed their heads.

There was only one exception... “You? Well, how dare you look at me? Are you not convinced? Come on stage to fight me.”

He pointed to a figure wearing a silver faceless mask and shouted coldly. It was Li Mu.

Li Mu had intended to go on stage, but he hadn’t expected that Zhu Mengyang directly challenged him. “Why? If you don’t dare to, you’d better kneel and apologize to me, and I will spare you. Otherwise, after my ten victories, I will go to kill you.” Zhu Mengyang was arrogant and unreasonable.

Li Mu smiled. Although he was wearing a faceless mask, others couldn’t tell his expression at all, but somehow everyone thought that he was smiling.

Under the gaze of countless men, Li Mu went up to the arena. Zhu Mengyang was a little surprised, “Very well, I didn’t expect you to have the nerve to come up.” His gaze swept over the stone knife on the back of Li Mu, smiled mockingly, and said, “That’s your weapon. Draw it and let me see what kind of knife it is.”

Li Mu shook his head, “Whoever has seen my knife is dead.”

He was imitating Li Yidao’s style. “Huh? You’re bragging. Are you kidding me?”

Zhu Mengyang laughed like he had heard the funniest joke. The Shooting Star Axe with two chains dragged slowly swam like two violent pythons who were targeting the prey.

“Go to hell.” In a loud shout, Shooting Star Axe suddenly accelerated, blurring the light and shadow, and came towards Li Mu.

Li Mu held the handle of the knife behind him on his backhand. A blade of light flashed away.

The faint light and shadow of Shooting Star Axe stopped abruptly and then broke into pieces. “You...” Zhu Mengyang stared at Li Mu in disbelief.

The knife in Li Mu’s hand had long been back in the scabbard. Or it hasn’t been out of the sheath at all?

Zhu Mengyang was a bit confused. It was too fast.

“I...” Zhu Mengyang wanted to say something. Suddenly, blood lines burst out from his body, like a fountain of blood.

His slender body and long arms suddenly dislocated.

His whole body turned into twenty pieces of average size that were piled up on the arena. After a brief silence, there was an uproar in the square behind Mingyue Hotel.

The clerk of Heavenly Fox Clan also stood up in shock. He stared at the arena and looked at Zhu Mengyang’s body with a lingering fear. After a long while, he asked, “Who are you?”

“Li Yidao of Songyang.”Li Mu said.

The real Li Yidao was born in Songyang Star. There was another noise in the small square.

Some didn’t know who Li Yidao was. Some had heard of Li Yidao. But even those who knew Li Yidao had never thought that Li Yidao, who had always kept a low profile before, burst out with such a brilliant performance when he killed Shooting Star Axe Zhu Mengyang without the slightest effort. It was Zhu Mengyang with nine wins in a row.

Yet he couldn’t withstand the knife. The clerk of Heavenly Fox Clan stared at Li Mu for a while, nodded, and sat back again.

The name of Li Yidao was hung on the side of the arena. According to the rules, the next ten wins were needed for him to enter the ranking list.

For Li Mu, it wasn’t difficult at all. Among the next nine opponents, five were dead and four were injured.

Death or injured all happened in a swing of his knife.

Just as his name Li Yidao suggested, no matter what kind of opponent he encountered, he could end the battle with only one swing of his knife, victory or defeat, life or death. He won ten games in a row.

The name of Li Yidao was successfully put on the ranking list of the Heavenly Fox Clan. He ranked 21st.

His fighting style was too simple and neat, so it was difficult for outsiders to grasp his true strength. It seemed that he had not encountered any tough battles, so Heavenly Fox Clan was actually unable to learn the true combat strength of Li Mu. This ranking was just a rough guess. But it also had a certain reference value.

Li Mu got a pass. With the pass, Li Mu could go to the palace in the centre of the Heavenly Fox Clan. He made a preliminary shortlist.

This governed star was ruled by a dynasty named Baiyu established by the bloodline of Heavenly Fox Clan. The palace was the residence of the emperor of the White Jade Dynasty, and it was also the largest building complex in the entire star. It was magnificent and extravagant. Fox Clan temporarily had requisitioned it as a camp to promote geniuses.

The Heavenly Legends who had entered the ranking list could get a pass like Li Mu, and then enter the palace with it. Li Mu came to the outside of the palace, showed his pass, and was received by someone.

“Young hero, please come with me.” A graceful and charming palace maid took Li Mu into the palace, walked through the official checkpoints, and finally stopped in front of a stone hallmarked with a number twenty-one at the door.

“Young hero, this is where you will temporarily rest and exercise. Then there will be a cruel competition of 60 to 10. You need to be more careful and prepare early.”The head palace maid introduced. Li Mu followed the maid into the stone hall.

The stone hall was clean and tidy, and all kinds of daily exercise supplies were available. There was even twenty gold-colored fairy crystals as training resources.

It surprised Li Mu greatly. Twenty gold-colored fairy crystals were worth a fortune.

Heavenly Fox Clan was indeed a big family in Ziwei Star Region, and they were so generous. “If you need anything, you can call me at any time. My name is Bi Yan, and I’m the private servant maid prepared for you by His Majesty. I will be completely yours from now on.” The young and beautiful head palace maid was very respectful.

Li Mu had seen that the palace maid named Bi Yan was a fox demon in the form of a human. But she was not a white fox, but a green fox, whose cultivation base was in the Mortal Realm. If she were elsewhere, she could have been considered a junior master.

But here, she was just a maid without status or dignity. Judging from her expression, even if Li Mu asked her to be naked right now, she would completely obey without hesitation.

Baiyu Dynasty was known for its rigid class barriers. The white fox had the highest status, followed by the variegated fox race and various devil races and human races. Technically, as a member of the Green Fox Clan, Bi Yan’s status was not low, but she was given away directly, which was worthy of pondering.

It could be seen that Baiyu Dynasty was quite optimistic about the Heavenly Legends who had made it to the ranking list this time. Maybe this was also a political investment.

“You may leave.” Li Mu waved his hand. He was not a womanizer after all.

“About three days later, the big event of sixty to ten will be held, and the arena will be set in the palace. If you’re interested, you can summon me at any time and I will take you to investigate the situation.” The young and beautiful maid bowed and left

Li Mu was thinking in the stone hall. Why did Heavenly Fox Clan work so hard to recruit a husband for Daji?

He found it strange.

When the princesses of Heavenly Fox Clan got married before, they didn’t make such a big fuss.

This time, the entire Ziwei Star Region knew that the little princess of Heavenly Fox Clan was going to be married. What was the purpose of Heavenly Fox Clan?

Li Mu was puzzled.

However, in addition to visiting little Daji, he went to Heavenly Fox Clan for another reason. He hadn’t heard any news about Hua Xiangrong and Wang Shiyu in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. So they were probably somewhere else in the Ziwei Star Zone. He was thinking of taking advantage of the great event of Heavenly Fox Clan where all parties gathered together to inquire about the whereabouts of the two girls.

In the following time, other Heavenly Legends of the right age who made it to the rankings continuously got the pass and entered the palace.

Li Mu was surprised when he met a few acquaintances. The boy in black with a sword stayed in the sixteenth stone hall.

The younger one of the two sisters who were not as tall as a scimitar lived in the ninth stone hall. Li Mu was a little confused when he saw the girl.

“What’s going on? This is the little princess of Heavenly Fox Clan looking for a husband, and not the little prince of Heavenly Fox Clan. Why can even women get the pass? Could it be that lesbians have become popular in this galaxy? Are they really so open-minded??” Li Mu was in a daze.

She seemed to sense Li Mu’s gaze. The girl turned her head, glanced at Li Mu, and said angrily, “What are you looking at? A girl can’t marry another girl? The opposite sex is to breed offspring, and the same sex is for true love... If you look at me again, I will kill you.”

Li Mu quickly ran away. The girl was still so audacious.
