Chapter 606 The General Realm

“You…” Meng Changhun struggled fiercely, feeling extremely mortified.

The Sword Qi in his body raged madly. He was dying to turn over and fight back.

“Wham!”

Li Mu raised his hand and punched again. In such a simple and brutal way, he directly knocked Meng Changhun’s head into the ground.

Then, the handsome Traceless Autumn Wind Sword famous in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region completely lost his vitality. He lay on the ground with his limbs spread out, motionless as a dead body.

No one knew if he was really knocked out, or fainted because of such huge humiliation, or was simply pretending to be dead.

Anyway… he had lost.

There was another burst of cries of panic, as though a weasel had barged into a henhouse.

No one would have thought of such a scene.

What was going on?

Didn’t they say that Li Mu the Wild Broadsword was in the Worm Realm? At most, he only had the combat capability of the Mortal Realm. But how could Li Mu have assaulted an expert in the Soldier Realm like Meng Changhun the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword so effortlessly as if he was spanking his son?

The one who was most appalled was none other than Mu Shun.

He was also the quickest to cotton on.

Seeing that even Meng Changhun had been knocked down by Li Mu with a single punch, Mu Shun’s first reaction was to flee.

A wise man should not stand by a wall that was about to collapse.

But the moment he turned around, a glowing flying broadsword, which was perfectly curved like a willow leaf, appeared in front of him like an old friend who had long been waiting for him. Its tip pressed against the spot between his eyebrows, and the fierce aura it was emitting seemed ready to pierce through his forehead.

Mu Shun’s body stiffened at once.

As the glowing flying broadsword slowly pressed forward, Mu Shun could only back off step by step.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t, I…” He broke out in cold sweat, unable to say anything coherently.

In the end, he was forced to Li Mu’s side by this flying broadsword.

“The antidote,” Li Mu looked at him and demanded.

Shivering all over, Mu Shun answered, “What Elder Meng said… is… is true. Once the poison on the Star-demolishing Arrow entered the heart, even an immortal would find it hard to cure the patient…”

Before his voice died away—

The blade of the glowing flying broadsword already cut through the skin between his eyebrows bit by bit.

Blood flowed out.

“No, no, no, don’t kill me. I’m the only one who can prove your innocence. You…” Mu Shun was alarmed and begged for mercy in a hurry. He was afraid that Li Mu would kill him right off. So, testifying for Li Mu’s innocence was the only trump card he could use.

“My innocence?”

Li Mu frowned.

Ding Yi had asked him to check the Immortal Net through the message token. It seemed that something big had happened. But since Li Mu was in a hurry to save people’s lives, he hadn’t had time to log onto the forum. “Is there really something about me I don’t know?”

Seeing Li Mu’s hesitation, Mu Shun breathed a sigh of relief in his head and hastily said, “Believe me, I am the only one who can help you. Please spare me. I’ll cooperate with you. I…”

“Swoosh!”

The flying broadsword directly pierced through Mu Shun’s skull.

Mu Shun’s eyes widened, and the look of disbelief on his face froze. Then, he slowly fell on his back.

At this juncture, on the premise that he had made it clear that he could help Li Mu clear his name, Li Mu still killed him without wavering? Did Li Mu really not care about his reputation being ruined?

Mu Shun’s body slowly fell backward onto the ground.

His eyes gradually dimmed.

He felt just aggrieved.

All his schemes had gone fruitless. He had not even seen Li Mu being chased and forced to escape. All he had done was arouse public indignation against Li Mu. It was like he had spent a lot of effort to rehearse a play, but before it could be staged, he suddenly kicked the bucket.

What a pity!

Mu Shun’s consciousness plunged into darkness.

The Great Heat Broadsword Intent of the 24 Solar Terms burnt his body into ashes, which then dispersed into the air and completely disappeared.

“Li Mu, you really don’t know how to repent. How dare you kill more innocent people!”

“You’re a fiend, a d*mn fiend.”

“Come on, let’s kill him!”

“There are so many of us. Why should we be afraid of him?”

When the people around saw that Li Mu had killed Mu Shun of the Tianyi Palace without explanation, they were all shocked and couldn’t control their fury. Being surrounded by so many people, Li Mu was still so unscrupulous. But no matter how strong he was, how could he fight so many opponents at the same time?

What was more, there was the Dharma-laksana Projection of a cultivator in the General Realm in the sky, who was keeping an eye on the situation.

“Senior, please take action and kill this vicious beast.”

“Senior, I wish that you would take pity on the citizens of the Star Wind City and kill this remaining sinner.”

Some people bowed to the Dharma-laksana Projection of the General Realm cultivator in the sky and pleaded with him to kill Li Mu so as to rid the folks of a scourge.

The Dharma-laksana Projection of the General Realm cultivator covered half of the sky. Just his face alone occupied an area with a radius of hundreds of miles. His pair of eyes seemed to be suspended in the sky like two suns, which shone brightly with the majesty of the Great Way and contained no trace of the regular emotions of a living creature. The projection had been staring intently at Li Mu since he showed up.

In the face of the people’s earnest requests, the General Realm cultivator did not speak.

On the ground, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice was still holding Li Mu’s thigh with both arms. On the surface, he cried out in sorrow, but in fact, he was whispering in an undertone, “Sect Master, leave while the going is still good. Stop putting on airs. We should find a way to retreat first. Otherwise, once the General Realm master makes a move, we’ll be screwed.”

Li Mu looked up at the colossal Dharma-laksana Projection in the sky.

He had noticed something odd when he arrived here.

Moreover, when Li Mu defeated Meng Changhun the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword and killed Mu Shun, most of his attention was actually focused on the projection of this deemed General Realm cultivator, in case he suddenly started to attack him. However, although this deemed General Realm cultivator had put Li Mu under enormous pressure, in fact, he did not give Li Mu the suffocating feeling showing that he was unbeatable.

Therefore, Li Mu did not flee as soon as he felt the pressure.

If he wanted to save Ding Yi and the pig spirit, he would have to face this General Realm cultivator.

There was no way around it.

“You nonentity,” the Dharma-laksana Projection of the deemed General Realm cultivator spoke.

His voice was full of grand willpower. The Taoist aura began to circulate, causing the Spiritual Qi tide between heaven and earth to surge as if a hurricane was taking shape. His eyes, which were like two suns floating in the sky, were still fixed on Li Mu.

“The descendant of sinners, how dare you behave wildly in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region?”

The crushing will of the General Realm cultivator descended, prompting a drastic weather change.

Undaunted, Li Mu raised his head and glared at the sky, saying, “Who gets to decide who is sinned?”

“How dare you! You, humble as an ant, have the sinned blood flowing in your veins. Still, you don’t repent. And now you’re starting to question me?” The deemed General Realm cultivator was furious when he heard Li Mu’s words.

Clouds surged wildly, and the weather soon changed.

A giant divine palm composed of dense glowing Taoist figures reached down from the sky. Vortexes visible to the naked eye incurred adverse currents on both sides of the palm. Just like a giant spirit was catching a chicken, the huge palm directly grabbed at Li Mu.

At this moment, the entire Star Wind City started to tremble.

Everyone sensed a kind of suffocating pressure, as though they were all going to die.

The primitive natural qi in Li Mu’s body started to circulate. Every brick engraved with Taoist figures of his divine bridge was gleaming with sacred light. The power in his entire Sea of Consciousness was connected with his physical body. When his essence, qi, and spirit were united, he was instantly in his peak form.

Just as he was about to make his move…

Another voice sounded.

“Bullying a junior with spooky means? You’re really a piece of work.”

In the sky, a piece of the void was torn. Then, imperious energy fluctuations rippled across the sky. A battered banner stuck out from the broken void and thwacked the giant palm. In an instant, the dominating vibe created by the deemed General Realm cultivator was completely shattered and dissipated along with the giant palm.

“Stinky Taoist, how dare you show up again?”

A scandalized look appeared on the face of the enormous Dharma-laksana Projection.

“Why wouldn’t I? I am a Celestial Master, whereas, you’re just a defeated opponent of mine.”

There was an edge of obscenity and arrogance in the voice of the Taoist, which was quite unbecoming to the powerful strength he had demonstrated. However, the banner soon hid behind the void, leaving a cluster of Primeval Qi in the sky, blocking his body and appearance out of sight.

Li Mu had a curious feeling about the Taoist.

The Taoist’s voice was a little familiar. Li Mu felt that he had heard it somewhere before.

“Hey, Sect Master, we have other help? Why didn’t you tell me before?” The eyes of the Second Senior Fellow Apprentice lit up.

Well, even though Li Mu was very good at causing trouble and had even provoked someone in the General Realm, the person who had come to help him also seemed to be a powerful figure. Judging by that thwack, the pig spirit was sure that this person who claimed to be a Celestial Master had great strength.

Li Mu gave him an awkward look and said, “I didn’t know we had help either.”

At this time, a new change was taking place in the sky.

“Haha, stinky Taoist, your timing couldn’t be better. In the previous battle in the space outside the Bitter Star, you and your helpers fled in all directions just like defeated dogs. Now, I’ve lured you out with small bait. You really can’t stay calm, can you? Don’t go. You must stay with me today.”

The giant Dharma-laksana Projection as imperious as an ancient god laughed loudly.

When he made his move again, a huge, irregular black rock giving off a strong smell of blood and decay started to spin and roll toward the mass of Primeval Qi that the “Celestial Master” was hiding in, attempting to crush it.

No one knew what the huge rock was exactly. It simply carried the aura of the Primordial Stones in the forbidden mining area. Instantly, the Spiritual Qi tide and the Divine Way were disrupted. The cultivators and the flying shuttles that had been suspended in the void immediately fell to the ground like dumplings being thrown into the pot. Screams of horror erupted.

Li Mu’s eyes were fixed on the black rock, and a sense of fear welled up in his heart.

“Hehe, you’re really good at flattering yourself. In the battle outside the Bitter Star, you ambushed us and tried to make up by numbers. That wasn’t fair. Moreover, you didn’t win the battle anyway. One of your men died and four were disabled. How could you have the face to bring that up? Hehe, the skin of you mine slaves is really thicker than the crust of the rocks in the forbidden mining area.”

The unique, obscene voice of the Celestial Master rang out.

The bamboo pole of the banner once again stretched out from the mass of the Primeval Qi and poked at the black rock, causing it to fly backward. However, the bamboo pole also exploded with a bang and dissipated.

This was a battle between immortals.

Those in the General Realm were beyond reach for those in the Soldier Realm. At present, the cultivators in Star Wind City at this time were no more powerful than those in the Soldier Realm, and most of them were still in the Mortal Realm or even the Worm Realm.

Therefore, it could be said that none of them could see the wonders of the seemingly primitive battle in the sky. They only felt that it was mysterious and mystifying.

Li Mu watched the battle for a few moments and was slightly relieved to see that the “Celestial Master” was not at a disadvantage in front of the deemed General Realm cultivator. So, he turned around to examine Ding Yi’s injury.

The poison the Star-demolishing Arrow carried was specially made for harming cultivators, which was not ordinary poison. Therefore, once the poison attacked the heart, the consequences would be serious.

Fortunately, the Cultivation Method Ding Yi had practiced was quite special, and he was fed the divine herb by Li Mu just in time, so he was still alive for the time being. Yet, his condition was not very optimistic.

Li Mu asked Second Senior Fellow Apprentice to hold Ding Yi in his arms and take care of him. Then, he grabbed Meng Changhun the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword, who was lying on the ground faking his death, and slapped him to wake him up. Then, he directly demanded, “How to save him?”

Meng Changhun covered his face with both hands and opened his eyes, feeling extremely humiliated. But in the face of Li Mu, who was violent and didn’t play by the rules at all, he didn’t dare to show any hint of unyielding heroism. He hurriedly said, “He can’t be saved unless you get him the ‘Great Reset Elixir’, a third-grade Spiritual Elixir.”

Huh?

Li Mu felt that he had heard the name of this elixir somewhere before.
