The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 427 Can’t Withstand a Single Blow

“Don’t run away, everyone. Fight with me,” Wei Wubing yelled.

He was suspended in the air with a ferocious expression on his face, no longer as gentle and polite as before. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and his body was gathered together once more. He roared, “If you want to live, protect me. Let me execute a secret technique to kill this man.”

He quickly flipped through the Divine Book and saw lines of words flying out of it, which all penetrated his body, as if they were a rune chain. His body suddenly became transparent.

An indescribable power flowed out of the Divine Book and then poured into Wei Wubing’s body.

In the end, the entire obscure book was integrated into his body.

The experts from the various ancient sects and well-known families saw that they were no longer able to escape, like birds in a cage. Seeing that they had no hope of escaping, they became enthusiastic. With anger, they turned around and rushed over to protect Wei Wubing, who was displaying his Extreme Dao technique.

He was their last hope.

But at this critical moment, Li Mu stopped with interest.

He watched Wei Wubing’s qi increase as if he was enjoying an exciting acrobatics show, and he was looking forward to seeing if there would be something more exciting happen next.

Wei Wubing’s figure expanded after a few dozen breaths.

Silver characters shone from his robes one by one and released a strange power. The words circulated, and each character contained a great amount of power. The different handwritings moved in Wei Wubing’s body, continually adding up a variety of terrifying power.

“Haha, Li Mu, you’re too arrogant. How dare you allow my ‘Character-made Taoist Figure’ to take shape?” Wei Wubing laughed loudly with confidence. His every move seemed to be able to tear apart the heaven and earth, and he said, “Now, I’ve obtained a power that you can’t imagine. Even if an expert of the Breaking realm has arrived, he can’t defeat me, hahahaha!”

Li Mu didn’t say anything.

He opened his Third Eye and a faint light circulated around it as he observed the manifestation of the Taoist characters in Wei Wubing’s body, which was rather interesting.

This was the power of characters, since different characters, when combined together, could form different auras of power. The Wendao Academy’s cultivation method was completely different from that of other sects.

The old faker had once said that the Taoist runes flowing in the sea of stars were actually the characters of the gods and demons in ancient times, so they could communicate with the power of heaven and earth. However, they were gradually outdated. If the characters in this era could communicate with the power of the stars in the universe, their true power could be exerted.

It was a pity that the old faker was on the Earth of the destruction era and the conditions were so poor that he had no way to study it.

Li Mu didn’t expect that the Wendao Academy had actually developed the rudiment of this method. The handwriting flowing in Wei Wubing’s body contained the true meaning of the words, and different combinations, just like the cooperation of different moves, would have different powers.

However, the prototype was just a basis, and it was incomplete.

Using his Third Eye, Li Mu vaguely felt that Wei Wubing did not really exert the power of this method and it was only superficial. Moreover, most of its power was still dependent on the thread-bound ancient book called “The book of Heaven and Earth”.

“Do you know? Li Mu, your biggest mistake is that you are too confident and allowed me to finish my practice.” Wei Wubing laughed again.

He only felt that his whole body was full of power, as if he could destroy the world in a flash. He was full of confidence, so he was not in a hurry to take action, but he looked down at Li Mu and said, “Today, you are destined to die here.”

The experts of the Ancient Clans, who had barely managed to save their lives, heaved a sigh of relief.

“Is the situation finally going to be reversed?”

It was extremely difficult.

They had learned their lesson before, so they did not say anything malicious. However, they looked cruel and were thinking about how they would vent their anger when Li Mu was killed by Wei Wubing.

All the remaining soldiers of the Great Moon Army had to die, and Taibai City should also be occupied. It was said that the Yue Mountain Faction had a good relationship with Li Mu, so they would wipe it out…

No matter what, they had to take revenge.

Li Mu squinted and was still observing.

Wei Wubing, who did not receive the expected regret and caution from Li Mu’s expression, felt a little disappointed. He felt uncomfortable, as if he had gathered his strength but punched nothing but air.

“Do you have any last words left at the last moment of your life?” Wei Wubing scoffed coldly.

Without waiting for Li Mu’s reply, he sneered and said, “Of course, if you want me to let go of the army of the Great Moon Empire, you’d better keep your mouth shut. The kind of evil ghosts that are revived should have been wiped out long ago. If they stay in this world, they will only bring chaos and death. I’ll let them follow you to the netherworld.”

“Idiot.”

Bai Mochou looked at Wei Wubing as though he was looking at a fool.

She looked at Xu Wan’er and others who were worried, and secretly transmitted words to her: “Don’t worry, this bastard won’t die…” Were all the Nine Superbs in this world such idiots?

Xu Wan’er and others breathed a sigh of relief and inexplicably felt at ease.

Bai Mochou was usually unreliable, who even tried to flirt with them from time to time. But at the crucial moment, this 10,000-year-old female ghost was unfathomable and her judgment was very reliable.

Qin Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief.

“The result is settled, and we can go back.”

In the clouds, Guo Yuqing looked away from the Longcheng Pass below.

“Is Xiao Mu all right? His injury…” Liu Zhiyuan was still a little worried.

Guo Yuqing smiled and said, “My third brother just had a little problem with his mentality, but now he has completely recovered. His cultivation has been improved and his Taoist Heart has reached a higher level. As for his physical injury, it is not worth mentioning.”

He remembered that day in the cave of the Nine-dragons Fall, Li Mu’s physical body was almost smashed into a pile of rotten meat, but it was incredibly recovered. Obviously, his third brother had mastered a peerless method of restoring his physical body.

In comparison, he was more worried about his second brother, Qiu Yin.

Since Li Poyue died and Guanshan Pasture was occupied, Qiu Yin had a lot of pressure. Although he looked calm and was working hard, he was quite angry.

Both he and his third brother had the capability to revive Guanshan Pasture, but they didn’t make a move.

After all, this was the only thing that could be done by Qiu Yin.

This was his responsibility as well as his pride.

“Let’s go back.” Guo Yuqing came from the prairie. Originally, he was ready to help, but at this time, he was very gratified. He didn’t need to do it.

“Isn’t it necessary to worry about Wei Wubing and the others?” Liu Zhiyuan sighed with emotion. She was from the Wendao Academy, and she had once been its saintess. But because of some things, she had lost her sense of recognition of the Academy.

“The martial artists of this world were short-sighted, and Wei Wubing is just a relatively powerful one,” Guo Yuqing said emotionally. “The Divine Way has collapsed, and foreign enemies have descended. Now, our third younger brother is invincible. No one can match him in this world. From those in the Wolf Temple, I can’t defeat him.”

The clouds drifted away.

“You deserve to be proud of yourself. You forced me to use this last killing move.” Wei Wubing stared at Li Mu, thinking that he had the absolute advantage, so he was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he teased Li Mu on purpose.

Li Mu was still observing the power of the Taoist characters on this man’s body.

He was very interested in this.

This attitude enraged Wei Wubing.

“Li Mu, are you stalling for time? You have to know that no one can save you in this world…” Wei Wubing continued to provoke Li Mu with words.

At this time, Li Mu suddenly nodded and said, “Oh, I see.”

He looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

“What?” Wei Wubing was confused.

Li Mu suddenly raised his head, looked at him, and said, “Do you know what does it mean when someone dies from talking too much?”

“What?” Wei Wubing seemed to have sensed something.

At this time, Li Mu’s figure suddenly moved like a stream of light, instantly approached, and directly punched out.

This punch was earth-shattering.

The fist, with overwhelming power that was neither too fast nor too slow, locked onto all of the angles and positions around Wei Wubing. Before Wei Wubing could react, it smashed all the Taoist runes on his body, as well as the silver light that protected him.

“Boom!”

Wei Wubing’s body below his head had been completely blown up…

Blood was dripping like flying arrows, and bones were falling like white snow.

“He is… unable to withstand a single blow.”

Li Mu’s figure, in a flash, returned to its original place.

“No…” Wei Wubing roared in anger, shock, and despair in midair. It was hard for him to accept this.

In the blood rain, the thread-bound ancient book, which had completely dimmed, fell to the ground.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and directly took it from the air.

The book was heavy, as if it weighed hundreds of thousands of pounds. There were only nine pages in total in this book with a light-blue book cover and yellow pages, nor were there any handwritings, which was quite strange. Li Mu casually turned it over and put it away.

This book was a treasure, which should not belong to this world. When obtained by someone like Wei Wubing, only 0.2% of its power could be exerted.

“Why is this happening?” Wei Wubing was terrified and lost his wits.

His body had been regathered, but his qi had been greatly damaged. He was no longer as proud as before, and had no courage and qualifications to fight again.

Li Mu’s punch just now blew him up in his peak state, along with his heart of martial arts and his belief of victory.

He was directly confused by this punch.

What he had just possessed was the invincible power under the Breaking realm. Even when fighting against any one of the Nine Superbs, he was still able to win. However, under Li Mu’s punch, he was directly crushed without even having a chance to fight back, stand up, or even dodge.

“No reason,” Li Mu said, “It’s just because you’re too weak, and your knowledge is as shallow as a piece of paper.”

As soon as he finished speaking, rays of yellow light suddenly burst out from Li Mu’s body.

Celestial Being’s five kinds of qi appeared and collected in the mind.

As the five elements were followed, the spleen and the spirit contained the meaning; the world was an illusion; the nature was a belief; the emptiness was the desire; the will was the earth element in the center of the Yellow Emperor’s spirit.

At this moment, the yellow brilliance that flowed out of Li Mu’s body lit up his body like a spotless golden glass. At this moment, all the wounds on his body completely faded away.

The divine light was so bright that he looked like a fairy Buddha.

At this moment, the third step of the Celestial Being was successfully cultivated.

One thought, one step.

It was silent all around.

Wei Wubing’s expression froze as if he was dead.
