Chapter 460 Who Answers, Who Dies
Sun Ji was in the Soldier Realm.
He had passed the Life and Death Bridge and rose above the ordinary life. Even in the vast universe, he could already be regarded as an elite fighter.
In the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy, a man in the Soldier Realm was considered a big shot. But Sun Ji was beheaded by Li Mu with his broadsword. His Primordial Spirit was directly annihilated by the killing intent in the fine Taoist instrument and Li Mu’s own Broadsword Intent, so he had no chance to revive anymore.
The excellent expert in the Soldier Realm had really died of humiliation. Li Mu just killed him like killing a pig.
The entire process was quick and neat. Those extraterrestrial practitioners were too overwhelmed to react. And there was utterly no time for them to rescue him.
When Li Mu stomped Sun Ji’s body with the blood-stained broadsword clenched in his hand and invited the others to challenge him once again, everybody gasped in trepidation.
The toughness of the indigenous sinner sent a chill through their spines.
“Soliciting the help of external devices does not represent your own strength.” Fairy Emperor of Light raised a hand and tapped the Fallen-soul Bell. Waves of energy rippled and Taoist figures swirled, which sealed the power of the Fallen-soul Bell at once.
Li Mu sneered.
“How shameless!”
“This is no combat contest. Why bother ranting about fairness?”
But Li Mu knew clearly that it was no use arguing with Fairy Emperor of Light. Since the other party had made it clear that his intention was to torture Li Mu, how could he be reasonable with his victim then?
Without the Fallen-soul Bell, Li Mu was like the tiger with its teeth pulled out, or the poisonous snakes with its venom squeezed dry. At that thought, the eyes of those extraterrestrial practitioners gleamed with excitement again.
Fairy Emperor of Light pointed a finger at a man in the crowd at random and commanded, “Go, kill this sinner for me.”
The person being picked was the head of the Gold Sun Sect in Brilliance Immortal Galaxy.
He was a bald man with a horrible scar on his face. His bulging muscles made him look like the reincarnation of King Kong. His cultivation was at the initial stage of the Soldier Realm, only a little lower than that Sun Ji from the Tianyi Palace.
“Senior, thank you for granting me the golden opportunity.” The head of the Gold Sun Sect rejoiced at the task.
He was in the ecstasy of catching a huge fairy crystal falling from the sky.
While the others, such as Zhangsun Changkong, the Demon Broadsword from the Heavenly Devil Sect, felt their hearts sink with disappointment. Having been robbed of the first opportunity by a member of the Tianyi Palace, this time, Zhangsun Changkong was ready to volunteer. However, Fairy Emperor of Light changed the rules and went picking the next candidate without asking anyone for their opinions.
“Boy, don’t blame me. If you have to, blame your fate.”
The weapon of the head of the Gold Sun Sect was a pair of exceptional-looking gilded hammers. The thickly-dotted Taoist figures on it were vaguely visible. As he activated his natural qi, the pair of drumsticks became as heavy as mountains. Plainly, his combat style was fierce and explosive.
Li Mu did not say a word. He merely held his broadsword backhand and disparagingly motioned the man forward with one index finger.
“You’re courting death!” The head of the Gold Sun Sect hoisted his drumsticks up.
The next moment, the figures flickered and the battle broke out.
Having learned a lesson from Sun Ji, this time, the head of the Gold Sun Sect obviously went all out, not reserving any ounce of strength. He kept attacking one hammering after another. Each hammer had a ground-breaking power and carried the True Fire of the Sun, which made it infinitely powerful. With every hammering, the air within several hundred meters was smashed.
But Li Mu did not budge.
He drew from the storage space a boutique-looking thick-bounded short broadsword he had collected in the outskirts. With the long broadsword in the right hand and the short one in the left, the blades flashed like flying snowflakes and dashed out to fight off that pair of hammers the head of the Gold Sun Sect was brandishing.
On the battlefield, sparks sputtered and the clinks of metal sounded nonstop.
The sound of each frontal collision of the strong weapons was thunderous, pounding the eardrums of some spectators.
Those extraterrestrial experts all looked surprised.
The head of the Gold Sun Sect had specialized in the field of body refining in the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy. He was known for his infinite strength. In the past, a top member of the Gold Sun Sect once blasted an unmanned meteor with a single punch. That made the Gold Sun Sect famous in the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy overnight, which also demonstrated how impressive the Gold Sun Sect’s corporeal Cultivation Method was.
Many practitioners asked themselves inwardly that if they could confront the head of the Gold Sun Sect in such a “diamond cut diamond” fashion. The answer they came to was all negative.
The sinner called Li Mu was just an aboriginal. But with one long broadsword and one short broadsword, he fought the head of the Gold Sun Sect head-on without yielding an inch. He seemed to equally powerful.
“How can this be?”
Many people came to realize that they had really underestimated the sinner before.
The head of the Gold Sun Sect himself was getting more and more surprised as the battle went on.
He had always triumphed over the others by dint of his strength. Even when fighting against an expert of the same level, no matter how clever the adversary’s offensive art was, he could practically blow away the opponent with a hammer. Thus, he was notorious for cracking martial techniques with raw physical power.
With such great strength, he could bully other people as he pleased.
But to his astonishment, the strength of the indigenous sinner was not any less than his. Li Mu could totally rival him. Despite the relatively less mighty weapons, Li Mu surprisingly fended off all his blows.
What shocked him even more was that the counterforce generated from Li Mu’s two broadswords was steadily increasing.
“What? This nasty piece still has some strength left?”
The head of the Gold Sun Sect was mystified.
By contrast, Li Mu gradually calmed down as if he had taken a sedating pill.
Under the effect of the Grand Demon-subduing Formation and the pressure within the Five-finger Mountain, the inner strength those experts in the Soldier Realm were proud of was forced back into their bodies. For that reason, many of their magical powers could not be cast, so they could only employ combat techniques to confront the enemy. For Li Mu, it was undoubtedly his favorite fighting method.
Previously, he, Guo Yuqing, and Qing Feng had calculated how much fighting power an expert in the Soldier Realm could cast in that circumstance. They also obtained an upper and lower limit by estimation, but that was merely theoretical.
By the point, however, Li Mu also had a more specific answer.
“The game will end now.”
The long broadsword in Li Mu’s right hand suddenly hacked at the enemy at the speed of lightning.
The heart of the head of the Gold Sun Sect thumped with a start. To his horror, the force of that broadsword increased several times in an instant. Just as he made to change his moves, he felt that the force of that long broadsword rushed out like an endless flood, which unstoppably parted his pair of hammers, making his chest exposed without defense…
“Crap…” He hollered in alarm.
The next second, the figures flashed at dazzling speed.
In a fraction of a second, Li Mu held the short rasped in his left hand backhanded and slashed at the exposed vital part of the head of the Gold Sun Sect.
The blade of the broadsword glinted.
Then, a man’s head flew to the air.
“How could such power exist… You… why?”
As the head of Gold Sun Sect’s master fluttered in the air with disbelief written all over his face, he voiced his question with emotion. The burst of power Li Mu cast at the last moment was beyond his imagination, and he found it hard to believe it.
“Don’t blame me. If you have to, blame your fate.” Li Mu replied with what he had said before.
“I can’t take this! How regretful I…” The head of the Gold Sun Sect was in deep remorse. Shortly, his head fell to the ground with a thud, and his headless body flopped to the ground. By then, he had thoroughly followed in Sun Ji’s steps.
Li Mu withdrew his broadswords and straightened up.
His face was slightly pale, and his breath was somewhat uneven. Obviously, he had wasted a lot of energy when battling the head of the Gold Sun Sect and was now sort of weary.
But such combat skills were enough to scare the life out of many extraterrestrial practitioners.
Before, Li Mu quickly attacked Sun Ji with the Fallen-soul Bell when he was off guard and finished the battle in an instant. But this time, Li Mu directly vanquished the head of the Gold Sun Sect head-on with his unmatched individual force.
Such strength of his was too daunting.
And Li Mu’s combat method was too fierce and brutal.
Although they all understand that it had something to do with the omnipresent repression in the air that diminished the strength of experts in the Soldier Realm, no one could deny that Li Mu was truly tough like a fierce tiger.
“That’s the practitioner from the galaxy? Haha.” Li Mu laughed coldly.
“Who is the next one?”
He was grasping one broadsword in each hand. The long broadsword was pointed at the front, while the short one was directed at the back. One broadsword was held out forward, while the other one poised before his chest. That posture was rather strange. And drenched in the blood of the experts in the soldier Realm, Li Mu looked as sinister as a devil.
All the other experts altered their expressions.
Such imposing grandeur made their hearts tremble despite themselves.
Fairy Emperor of Light still kept a cool face, only that his eyes revealed a hint of mockery. He did not speak but pointed at someone in the crowd again.
The person being picked this time was the contemporary master of the Wind Sword Party.
The Wind Sword Party was a very influential sword sect in the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy. It had a great number of members, and was known for its exquisite swordplay.
Their contemporary master was a man who had a great achievement in the 3,100 styles of the Wind Swordsmanship. It was said that he had simplified that complex set of swordsmanship into just 36 styles, which was a marvelous art excelling nature. Although the master’s cultivation was not very high, his brilliant swordplay alone was enough to rank him among the top five of all the swordsmen in the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy.
“Thank you, senior.”
The master of the Wind Sword Party appeared to be an elegant middle-aged man. After being picked, he was elated internally.
“Isn’t this a ready-made prize waiting for me to pick it up?”
He thanked Fairy Emperor of Light right away, and then pulled out his long sword and marched towards Li Mu.
Li Mu said nothing but also stepped forward with the two broadswords in his hands.
Exuding confidence, the master of the Wind Sword Party said with a smile, “That’s it. I’ve carefully observed your broadsword-using method. Though it has the simplicity of the Great Way, it’s still too immature and full of flaws. Unlike that, you can never understand my swordplay, not to mention that you’ve lost quite a sum of energy when you fought against the head of the Gold Sun Sect by force. I wonder how much strength is left in you…”
Swoosh!
A flash of broadsword light shot out.
And the head of the master of the Wind Sword Party also flew to the air.
The Wind Sword in his hand was cut in four pieces.
“What a chatterbox!” Li Mu snapped. He pulled back his broadswords and stood still.
He killed his opponent in a trice.
The pale complexion, uneven breathing, and weariness he displayed before completely vanished at that moment. He was once again robust, vigorous, and extremely fierce.
Apparently, he had faked that weariness. In the fight against the head of the Gold Sun Sect, he did not exert his real power at all. That led the master of the Wind Sword Party to misjudge the situation and be killed by an eruption of Li Mu’s true strength in an instant.
The rest of the extraterrestrial practitioners were all dumbstruck.
“What the hell?”
“This indigenous sinner… Are sinners all that terrifying?”
They almost started doubting that their eyes had deceived them. If at that time someone claimed that Li Mu was an orthodox future leader of a large faction in the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy, or say, the future leader of an influential faction in the Ziwei Star Region, nobody would have any doubts about it.
Despite his young age, his combat ability could almost rival an ancient divine beast!
It should be noted that though the experts in the Soldier Realm were all affected by the tactical deployment in the tomb, Li Mu was no exception at all. Yet, he still savagely killed the three experts in the Soldier Realm in a row and remained unscathed in the three battles. If such a record ever spread to the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy, Li Mu could definitely be among the top of the Talent Ranking of the star region overnight.
“Who else?” Li Mu asked, clutching his broadswords.
It was the fourth time he asked that question.
During the first three times, the extraterrestrial practitioners did not find the question much frightening. However, on the fourth time, some people could not help but tremble in their boots and then get washed over by horror. Now, that question sounded like an incantation voiced by Death.
Whoever answered him would die.
