The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 785 A God on Land

However, Marshall’s joy only lasted less than three seconds.

When the short sword hit Li Mu’s forehead, it produced a burst of sparks and made a ringing noise like a metal hitting another metal object. Finally, it bounced off Li Mu’s forehead and flew four or five meters while vibrating in mid-air.

“What?

“Even this skill doesn’t work…”

Both Marshall and Konrad were shocked.

“That is the Great Snake Sword, a divine artifact of the Eastern Island. It is said to be a forbidden weapon that can slaughter gods, but it was sent flying just now… Is Li Mu’s forehead made of immortal gold or divine iron?”

The clear, melodious cry of a bird came from the sky.

A shadow was cast on the ground.

A giant blue bird with beautiful feathers appeared in the sky. It had a wingspan of over twenty meters and looked like a phoenix in the myths. On its back was a beautiful girl with long hair and a cold look on her face, looking like a white porcelain doll. She produced a seal with her hand. An ancient silver oval mirror floated behind her. The mercury-like surface of the mirror emitted beams of cold light that covered Li Mu.

She was Xingye Nanzi, known as the Goddess of Swords of the Great Peace Association and the renowned top master in the martial arts circles on the Eastern Island.

She was young, beautiful, mysterious, cruel, cold-blooded, and powerful.

That was the impression she left on others.

When she showed up, everyone thought that she posed the greatest threat to Li Mu.

“Li Mu, I’m going to take revenge for my master and kill you today.”

A clear, cold voice unique to women from the Eastern Island rang out, tinged with killing intent.

“Your master?” Enveloped by the cold light emitted by the mirror, Li Mu did not feel uncomfortable at all. He asked, “Who is that?”

Xingye Nanzi’s eyes flamed with anger.

“This man killed my most respected master, but he doesn’t even remember that.”

“Kill!”

She thrust her Great Snake Sword at Li Mu again.

Flashing with cold light and killing intent, the sword slashed through the air like a hot knife cutting through butter and almost sliced the space barrier open. Numerous hair-like black cracks appeared and propagated in the void.

Marshall and Konrad were both shocked.

“Has the power of this Goddess of Swords from the Eastern Island reached such a level?

“This should be… the Great Void-breaking Realm…”

The move caused the void to vibrate.

“Child’s play.”

Li Mu shook his head.

He gently raised his hand, grabbed the Great Snake Sword——a famous divine artifact on the Eastern Island, and kneaded it into a metal ball, as if he were crumpling a piece of paper.

“What?”

Marshall and Konrad’s eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Li Mu’s skill was simply not something that they could imagine.

it was so powerful.

It was so terrifying.

Now, Li Mu was like a Celestial Demon in their eyes. If they had known that Li Mu was so powerful, they wouldn’t have come to seek revenge and kill him.

“Pfft!”

When the Great Snake Sword was destroyed, Xingye Nanzi’s face turned pale, and blood came out of her mouth and nose.

Li Mu waved his hand.

The Eight-foot Mirror flew into his hand.

He crushed the mirror, another divine artifact on the Eastern Island, into pieces, as if it were a piece of trash.

“Ah…” Xingye Nanzi slumped down onto the back of the blue bird.

“Chirp.”

The giant blue bird realized that its master was in danger. It flapped its wings and flew up, trying to escape with its master.

How could Li Mu let it go as it wished?

He raised his right hand, curled his five fingers up slightly, and reached his hand into the void. The dark clouds in the sky above Dunhuang City suddenly gathered and turned into a giant gray hand that was several thousand meters long. The giant hand swiped at the bluebird as if it was swatting a mosquito and pinched it with its fingertips.

“Chirp!”

The blue bird struggled desperately to free itself.

Li Mu never had a good impression of the people from the Eastern Island. Although the woman on the bird’s back was beautiful, he didn’t want to let her go. He would never show mercy to any foreign practitioners that had entered Dunhuang City.

However, just when he was about to kill the blue bird and this woman, a light green flame suddenly shot out of the blue bird’s mouth and darted at him.

“Hmm?” Li Mu was a little surprised.

It was not because of the power of the flame was. He was surprised because the flame’s aura seemed somewhat familiar to him.

It was very similar to the aura of the flames spurted out by the nine-headed divine bird that he saw in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.

“Could it be that this giant blue bird is a descendant of the Phoenix Clan?”

Li Mu was a little unsure.

The Phoenix Clan was one of the few major clans that had not betrayed the Dark Yellow Army back then. At that time, Feng Jiu, the chief of the Phoenix Clan, transferred the immortal runic divine fire in his body to Li Mu in order to protect the latter. It would be fair to say that the Phoenix Clan did the Dark Yellow Army and Li Mu great favors.

At the thought of this, Li Mu released his grip.

The blue bird soared into the sky, turned into a small black dot, and disappeared from sight carrying Xingye Nanzi on its back.

“If that blue bird was really a descendant of the Phoenix Clan, I would have to make a trip to the Eastern Island sometime in the future.”

This thought flashed through Li Mu’s mind.

The Phoenix Clan was now on the verge of extinction in the Star River. It would be great if that blue bird could carry on the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan. However, that giant blue bird chose to submit to Xingye Nanzi, which was one of the reasons why Li Mu let this woman from the Eastern Island go.

As for the others…

Li Mu withdrew his gaze from the sky and saw the elite members of the Fierce Tiger Gang several thousand meters away. They were fleeing in all directions. Marshall, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, was already in the desert tens of miles away, hiding in the air and fleeing like crazy.

Li Mu smiled faintly.

“Are you scared now? It’s already too late.”

With a flick of his fingers, he launched the High Wind Broadsword, which corresponded to one of the 24 Solar Terms and killed over ten elites of the Fierce Tiger Gang that were several thousand meters away from him. Their bodies turned into light breezes and disappeared.

Faint wisps of black mist emanated from their bodies and dissipated in the air.

“Come back.”

Li Mu reached his hand into the air.

Marshall, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, who was tens of miles away, suddenly felt dizzy. Then, he reappeared in front of Li Mu outside the scenic area of the Mogao Caves.

He was scared out of his wits.

“You…”

He looked at Li Mu, his face ashen. He couldn’t understand what had just happened.

Li Mu didn’t want to talk to a nobody like Marshall. He directly reduced Marshall into black blood mist with one punch. As expected, the black mist was the same as the mist from other members of the Fierce Tiger Gang, but it was denser than the latter.

Li Mu examined the black mist with his Third Eye and discovered the secret.

The black mist was actually an external force that could increase the power of the members of the Fierce Tiger Gang. It should be the evil force that the so-called god supporting the Fierce Tiger Gang had injected into their bodies.

However, besides the black mist, Li Mu also discovered a dazzlingly bright ball of silvery light in Marshall’s body, which seemed to fit well with the air between heaven and earth.

“It’s a power that is similar to the law. It seems that Marshall’s ability to control the air originates from this ball of silvery light.”

Li Mu remembered that he once killed an eagle on the snow-capped peak of Mount Qilian. The Spiritual Qi in the eagle’s eyes could be extracted. In the end, he extracted the Spiritual Qi and gave it to his disciple, Xiao Dong. With the Spiritual Qi, Xiao Dong gained an ability that was similar to the supernatural ability of a clairvoyant.

Like the Spiritual Qi extracted from that eagle’s eyes, this ball of silvery light could enable its owner to control the air.

Li Mu thought to himself, “Perhaps the foreign practitioners’ superpowers follow the same principle. Could it be that they have those superpowers because they have obtained some fragments similar to the power of law by accident?

“This is a new discovery.

“Does it mean that if I kill those foreign superpower holders who have evil intentions and remove the superpower laws from their bodies, I can transfer these superpowers to the hot-blooded disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance?”

Li Mu sealed the ball of silvery light temporarily.

Then…

“Get back here.”

He reached out his hand and grabbed at the air.

The dark clouds in the sky instantly turned into a giant divine hand that was several thousand meters long. The giant hand grabbed Konrad, the prince of the Blood Race, who had escaped to a distance of several hundred miles and who thought that he was safe.

Ah…

Konrad screamed in horror as he performed the Blood Escape Skill to escape from the giant hand.

However, it was not that easy for him to escape this time.

When he turned into blood mist, dissipated and took form again, he was shocked to find that he was still in the giant hand.

He turned into mist, dissipated and took form once again.

It was still the same.

He turned into thousands of small bats flying in different directions.

As long as one small bat could fly out of the giant hand, he would be able to make a successful escape.

However, although those small bats could fly several thousand meters with a flap of their wings, all of them failed to fly out of this giant hand through the gaps between its fingers that looked as wide as large gullies.

In several breaths of time, the small bats gathered and took on human form.

The giant hand held Konrad and sent him to Li Mu.

“No, please don’t kill me. In the Blood Race, there are the other eleven princes, the Progenitor Cain, and…”

Bang!

With a flick of his finger, Li Mu directly smashed Konrad into pieces.

Clouds of blood mist appeared, shining with golden light.

Li Mu condensed the blood mist into a golden blood ball about the size of a fist with his Taoist magic arts. The blood ball was suspended in the air in front of Li Mu. Inside the blood ball, Konrad’s image was flashing, and he looked ferocious, as if he were cursing while begging for mercy.

Snap!

Li Mu snapped his fingers.

A ball of Emperors’ Fire appeared out of the blue and wrapped itself around the golden blood ball, which made a sizzling sound. All memories and marks related to Konrad inside it had been completely refined and dispersed.

Countless golden patterns looking like frightened dragons flashed inside the blood ball.

“This blood ball contains the secret about how this vampire preserved his Source Energy and increased his power multiple times. If I could interpret this secret, I would be able to fight the ancestors of the six major clans and have a chance of winning the fight in the future.”

That was the biggest surprise for Li Mu today.

He opened his mouth, swallowed the blood ball, and put it in his Mud-pill Palace to nourish it.

The people standing at the entrance to the scenic area, including Tang Tian, Lu Xun, and Song Youyan, were completely dumbfounded.

The result of this fight and the power that Li Mu showed during the fight were simply at the level of gods. They didn’t know what the gods’ cultivation levels and magical skills were like and they couldn’t think of any words to describe Li Mu’s skill.

“He is a god.

“He is a true god on land.”
