The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 823 - A Divine Artifact?

Chapter 823 A Divine Artifact?

“You are so impudent! How dare you attack Your Highness Cloud Light Saintess?”

“You are courting death!”

“Kill him!”

All the cultivators on the stone platforms around the Sword Competition Square suddenly became furious. They immediately besieged Li Mu.

It was obvious that Cloud Light Saintess enjoyed a high status.

“Humph, a bunch of bootlickers.”

Li Mu brandished his broadsword and met the attacks head-on.

Six or seven experts besieged Li Mu at the same time.

Boom!

The Samsara Knife blocked spears and halberds. Li Mu ducked, but his back was hit by a hammer. Feeling a sharp pain, he suddenly staggered back.

Different Potential Realms confronted each other in the air.

When these martial arts law emerged, the energy erupted.

“All of them are powerful.”

Li Mu was shocked.

The seven or eight people who launched the attacks were stronger than Cain and the Wolf God.

“Were they cultivators above the King Realm?”

“Is this the Upper King Realm that the old faker mentioned?”

Li Mu felt the pressure of their realm.

“Well, do you powerless shrimps in the human world want to throw the heaven into turmoil?” A horse-faced Taoist in a bright yellow Taoist robe with three long yellow whiskers said with a sinister smile. He spread his hands, and a knife with three blades flew toward Li Mu like a meteor storm.

Clink! Clink! Clink!

Li Mu blocked the blow with his broadsword.

His blade light glinted like a snowflake, which sent the thrown daggers flying.

Puff!

Blood gushed from the cut on Li Mu’s shoulder.

A dark blue spear scraped Li Mu’s shoulder, then shot toward his neck like a poisonous snake.

The person holding the spear was a bulky man clad in a suit of golden armor, whose face was hidden.

“Get out of my way!”

Holding the spear tip with his left hand, Li Mu exerted a sudden force and lifted the spear as well as its holder. He brushed off the spear without much effort. The spear and a young man who wore a purple crown who had rushed over to fight, were directly sent flying.

Others around were surprised by the scene.

Li Mu’s physical strength was really tremendous. He was simply a human-shaped fierce beast.

But at the same time, his back was hit by another hammer.

“Puff…”

Li Mu staggered, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

“Ha Ha. A piece of divine iron could easily be smashed into a pancake, let alone your flesh and body.” The person holding a long-handled hammer was a red-haired Immortal General clad in scarlet armor. His cold face manifested a terrifying aura.

Li Mu had no time to fight back.

Because another attack was coming his way.

He was in a very passive position.

Waves of attacks kept coming at him.

The battle was the most dangerous one that Li Mu had fought; it could be likened to battling against six ancestors that day. The seven or eight people who besieged him were in the Upper King Realm, which was higher than his cultivation level. They suppressed Li Mu in terms of natural qi, while they were not weaker than him at all in combat skills and weapons.

Puff!

A tip of a sword stuck out of Li Mu’s left shoulder.

As he shouted, Li Mu’s muscles tensed and snapped the sword.

Clink!

The long sword was broken directly with half of it still embedded in his shoulder.

He threw a punch.

Boom!

A woman in red, who was holding a short sword, was hit and she spat blood as she flew out.

However, at the same time, three or four streams of blood spurted from Li Mu’s waist, and he was seriously injured again.

“We can’t leave him to do this alone…” The Immortal Taoist stood up and was about to say something, but he was stopped by the Taoist child named Athanasia next to him.

“Senior fellow apprentice?” The Immortal Taoist looked at the little Taoist child.

The little Taoist shook his head and said, “Just watch.”

The Immortal Taoist said hurriedly, “But…”

“Watch.” The Taoist child repeated his words.

There was an unquestionable tone in his voice.

The Immortal Taoist had no choice but to sit down.

In the field, Li Mu was already bathed in blood now.

The eight or nine god descendants surrounding him were also injured, and their weapons were broken.

They didn’t expect that they had spent such a long time jointly fighting against Li Mu, but still did not manage to defeat him. It was a total shame for them. Although Li Mu was injured and bathed in blood and was in a miserable state, he was still full of vigor. His strength had not weakened at all, and his fighting will was even stronger.

Cloud Light Saintess’s face clouded over.

“A bunch of trash. You can’t even defeat a mortal after taking such a long time.”

She looked at the others beside her and said coldly, “What are you waiting for?”

Before her voice faded away, a series of shrill cries suddenly sounded.

An unexpected change occurred.

The arm of the Immortal General with the long-handled hammer clad in scarlet-armor had been hacked off and showed no signs of recovery at this time. There was a strange golden luster, like gold powder, covering the wound, which was extremely strange.

In addition, the warrior with the spear also lost a hand.

The others exclaimed and retreated and did not dare to approach Li Mu.

In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed. The eight or nine soldiers who besieged Li Mu were all injured and stepped back in horror, not daring to compete with him. All at once, another two people were injured, and they bled copiously and their strength dissipated like ordinary people. They lost their fighting capacity as well as their recovery skills.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone looked over and saw Li Mu holding a strange four-bladed long knife in his left hand, which was light gold in color and glowed with golden light. As he waved it, Sanskrit characters floated all around it. His weapon was truly indestructible. Those masters in Upper King Realm were as fragile as clay sculptures when they faced this strange knife. They would be injured or smashed once they touched the knife…

“What weapon is that?”

The Immortal Taoist’s eyes widened all of a sudden.

The other cultivators around the Sword Competition Square were also boiling with excitement.

“Is it a treasure or a divine artifact?”

All of a sudden, all eyes were focused on the four-bladed strange knife in Li Mu’s hand.

A trace of astonishment could be seen on Cloud Light Saintess’s emotionless but perfect visage.

“Kill him!”

Li Mu defeated the people around him speedily. Instead of wasting time trying to kill them, he immediately cast the Somersault Cloud. He was as fierce as a dragon and his weapon was like a rainbow. He flew straight toward Cloud Light Saintess, as fast as a stream of flowing light.

If you want to round up the gang, you must get the chief first.

This woman was the real culprit.

As he waved the Four-Bladed God Killing Broadsword, strange Sanskrit sounds echoed all around, manifesting an inexplicable power.

Just now, he hurriedly took out the strange weapon obtained from the North and South Buddhas in the scenic area of Donghong Mogao Caves to confront the enemy. When he blocked the hammer strike, the hammer was smashed unexpectedly, like crushing a mass of scattered sand.

Li Mu immediately realized that power of the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword was far beyond his imagination.

“Go to the hell!”

Killing intent erupted in Li Mu’s heart. He pointed the blade straight at Cloud Light Saintess.

“Ho Ho. Idiot.”

Flower petals swirled beneath her feet and Cloud Light Saintess floated into the air. The petals morphed into a curved shield in no time that blocked her from the brunt of the attack.

Boom!

The round shield shattered in an instant.

The power of Li Mu’s Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword was obviously far beyond her imagination.

“He actually…”

Her expression changed slightly. Then, she stretched out an index finger, which was as delicate as jade, white and tender, and pointed at the top of Li Mu’s weapon.

Boom!

Loud bangs were heard.

Li Mu felt an irresistible power springing out of his defense. Then his body flew backward again.

“Ur…” Cloud Light Saintess grunted.

A golden blood drop slowly dripped from the fingertip of her right hand.

There was a trace of disbelief and astonishment on her face.

“How could it be?”

She looked at the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword in Li Mu’s hand and asked, “What kind of weapon is that?”

Without bothering to reply, Li Mu pointed the strange blade directly at Cloud Light Saintess. The sharp killing intent erupted like a tangible airflow. His stern expression and blade direction revealed everything.

“Don’t think you can defeat me with a piece of scrap metal.” Cloud Light Saintess smiled derisively. Palm downward, she took the blood drop that had dripped onto the ground back into her fingertip. “You’re dead meat today.”

She slowly floated forward and said, “Poor little bird, I’ll teach you a lesson on what irresistible power of heaven is like. I’ll beat you to death and nail your body at the foot of Mount Qinling. That’s one way to show all the mortals the consequence of provoking immortal sects.”

Flower pistils under her feet flowed and fluttered, strand by strand.

The other cultivators stepped back as well. It was hard for them to bear the pressure from Cloud Light Saintess. Her strength exceeded their imagination.

Li Mu was also shocked.

“Was this the strength of cultivators in Upper King Realm?”

“Or was it… above Upper King Realm?”

The pressure this woman put on him was even greater than those from the ancestors of the six major clans.

“Had elites among god descendants already become so powerful?”

“Unfortunately, despite being so strong, she was devoid of human kindness and was like a cold-blooded animal. She also possessed great enmity toward the human world. Was she a traitor or a warrior in the Dark Yellow clan back then?”

Li Mu’s will to fight was ignited.

He still had another ace card, but there was no need to use that for the time being.

In order to figure out the maximum power of Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword, Li Mu wanted to try it out on this woman.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

It was a moment of life and death.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

“Amen. When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured. Since both of you are Dark Yellow descendants, why not give up fighting and turn hostility into friendship?”

A little Taoist child, full of Spiritual Qi, ignored the oppressive aura from two experts and slowly walked to the square.

“Hmm? The Athanasia Taoist of Chunyang Clan?” Cloud Light Saintess came to a halt and frowned slightly. “So, do you want to stick up for this base and arrogant mortal?”

The little Taoist child smiled and said, “I’m willing to settle the battle. Why not laugh it off? Both of you are heroes, so why do you insist on fighting and killing?”

“Ho Ho. The sword, the most valuable treasure of your clan, was taken away by that old fish spirit back then. But now you’re speaking up for his disciple? Chunyang forefather’s temper wasn’t as mild as yours, was it?”

Cloud Light Saintess snickered.

Li Mu could tell that although she spoke rudely, she was slightly more polite to the little Taoist child than to Immortal Taoist and was even a little afraid of him.

He suddenly realized that he had misjudged him.

It turned out that the status of the little Taoist child named Athanasia, was even higher than that of the Immortal Taoist.

“Even your temper will change.” The Athanasia Taoist Child smiled and said, “Saintess, you’re not able to hurt Li Mu today. Why don’t you give up?”

“I can’t hurt him?” Cloud Light Saintess snickered. “I can turn him to dust in three blows.”

Athanasia Taoist Child said, “The Three Heaven-shocking Fingers of the Cloud Light Temple was unparalleled in the world. It can shatter stars, which boasts boundless power. However, Your Highness Saintess, can you tell the origin of Four-blade Knife in Li Mu’s hand?”

“It’s just a piece of sharp scrap metal. Can it block me?” she huffed.

The child smiled slightly. “No. Your Highness, have you ever heard of the God-killing Broadsword?”

“Of course, I’ve heard of it. A divine weapon like that… Wait, what do you mean?” Having said this half way through, she showed a stunned expression for the first time in her life. “Is that the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword in his hand?”
