Chapter 603 Launching a Bloodbath
Li Mu had become stronger.
Much stronger than before.
“You can’t use the same move twice against the Saint Warrior.” Li Mu raised his hand and crushed another Sword Qi Feng Zhen launched. Then, he looked at Feng Zhen with a smile and said, “You really brought me great luck…”
Feng Zhen was so angry that he was trembling from head to foot.
What the h.e.l.l was the Saint Warrior?
All he knew at this moment was that the Immortal Elixirs that he had looked forward to and put so much effort into were unlikely to come back to him.
The result caused his limbs to get cold. As if he had swallowed a dead mouse and couldn’t spit it out, he was anxious and heartbroken.
“Go to h.e.l.l!”
Feng Zhen turned on the Sword Gale. The Sword Qi around him swirled, and his Cultivation Method was activated to the extreme. He raised a hand, and the fingertip turned into a sword. In an instant, he approached Li Mu and pointed directly at Li Mu’s forehead.
In the previous battle in the rainy alley, he employed the same method to bombard Li Mu to the ground and kicked him about like a ball.
“Old man, you’re poking me again? Do you have a thing for that?”
Li Mu stood still on the spot and let Feng Zhen’s finger hit his forehead.
“Crack!”
Some bones fractured.
A look of astonishment appeared on Feng Zhen’s face.
Because what was fractured was not Li Mu’s skull, but his finger.
The pale finger bones had pierced out from under his skin. It was a ghastly sight.
The flickering flexible Sword Gale was also shattered along with his finger.
Before feeling the sharp pain of the broken finger, Feng Zhen’s mind was full of shock and confusion. At this moment, his mind was stuck, because the most unlikely thing had happened. Even if he pointed at a top-grade Spiritual Treasure, it was impossible to break his finger. Moreover, it was him who was attacking.
Li Mu still stood rooted to the spot, completely motionless.
As though he had been hit by a leaf, the attack did not seem to be a big deal to him.
The power of a Soldier Realm expert was so great that even a 10,000-meter-high mountain would be knocked away after taking that strike. Such a scene did not conform to the Divine Way.
“You can’t even scratch my skin. You’re too weak.”
Li Mu took a bow step forward and threw a punch at Feng Zhen’s stomach as fast as a flash of lightning.
The mighty expert in the Soldier Realm bent over like a shrimp and flew backward, slamming into the wall of the Elixir Room.
To prevent himself from being interrupted in the process of refining the elixirs, Feng Zhen not only strictly ordered that no one was allowed to enter the Elixir Room no matter what happened but also put in a lot of effort to set up the strongest tactical deployment and restriction in the entire Elixir Room. At this time, it had become a cage that kept him imprisoned. When he hit the stone wall, the elixir room vibrated. He spat out a mouthful of blood and then slumped down, no longer able to stand on his feet.
“This kind of physical strength… Is it the power of the Soldier Realm?”
Feng Zhen’s body was surrounded by his Sword Qi, which formed small cyclones visible to the naked eye. Each cyclone was formed by a beam of flowing sword light. All those thick cyclones surrounded Feng Zhen layer upon layer, protecting his body. Feng Zhen then asked, “Have you entered the Soldier Realm? You skipped a whole realm and directly jumped to the next realm, didn’t you?”
While giving off unparalleled pressure, Li Mu approached him step by step.
“The Soldier Realm? Not yet. But it seems that I’m powerful enough to deal with you.”
As Li Mu spoke, he threw another punch.
“How arrogant!” Feng Zhen sneered. “The real power of the Soldier Realm is not something you can imagine. Don’t think that you can kill me as soon as you made it to the higher realm.”
In his hand, A long sword made of white jade materialized, flas.h.i.+ng with terrible energy fluctuations. The sword light and sword qi were constantly stretching and drawing back as if a silver dragon flicking out its tongue. An extremely dangerous aura spread out. Instantly, the sword broke through the air and cut at Li Mu’s fist.
“I’ll teach you that what a real Spiritual Treasure…”
Before he could finish his words—
“Crack!”
The sword made of white jade snapped inch by inch.
But the force of the punch did not recede. Once again, Feng Zhen vomited blood and flew backward before slammed into the stone wall.
“No way…” He could not believe what he had just seen.
“Why can’t even a Spiritual-tier treasure cut Li Mu’s fist? Is his body even tougher than a Spiritual Treasure?”
Although this white jade sword itself was damaged and could not be regarded as a complete spiritual treasure, it should not be broken by a human body on any account.
“Nothing is impossible.”
Li Mu looked at his fist. Seeing that it didn’t even sport a white dent, he became more relaxed.
After this elixir refining, he might have really become a human-shaped Magic Treasure. Being invulnerable was no longer a laughable longing to him.
If one’s physical body could not be damaged, one would be invincible in the face of any opponent.
Li Mu realized that he had really gained a great reward for taking the risk of staying in the furnace to go through the refining this time.
Fortunately, the whole process was an injury-free venture.
If it were anyone else without the Xiantian Skill and the Zhenwu Boxing, they would have been really refined into the Immortal Elixirs by Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword.
Feng Zhen’s eyes flashed with madness. A black armor made of dragon scales appeared on his body. The scales overlapped and covered his whole body. The chains of black Taoist figures swirled around him. This was a precious armor that he had treasured. It was half a step away from the spiritual tier. He had spent a lot of effort to collect the complete set of this armor on the Immortal Net. The armor was quite costly. It was his last resort to save his life at the critical moment when fighting with an expert at the same level. But now, he had no choice but to use it.
At the same time, a long sword appeared in his hand. The blade was carved like a black dragon. It was the Spiritual-tier Black Dragon King Sword.
This was the most prized weapon he had collected.
As an expert in the Soldier Realm of a large sect, Feng Zhen definitely had a load of trump cards in case he was in danger.
“I didn’t intend to use these treasures. But you forced me into this…” Feng Zhen grinned viciously and rushed to Li Mu wielding his sword.
Li Mu strode forward without fear and said, “So what if I forced you?”
“Rumble!”
The fist and the sword collided, and the sound of the collision was as deafening as the collision of gold and iron.
“Buzz, buzz!”
The Black Dragon King Sword vibrated violently. Feng Zhen felt a weird force surging toward him and he could no longer hold the hilt of the sword. As the long sword flew out of his hand, he was sent flying by this bizarre force for the third time. He again smashed into the stone wall of the elixir room and spat out a mouthful of blood.
If it weren’t for the protection of the black armor, all his bones and muscles would have been broken.
This was a crus.h.i.+ng defeat.
Li Mu reached out and grabbed the Black Dragon King Sword.
He casually brandished the sword.
“Swis.h.!.+”
A streak of Sword Gale darted out.
This was purely generated by his terrifying physical strength.
“Give me back my divine sword…” Feng Zhen was now desperate.
This sword was the result of his painstaking efforts.
“Fine.” Li Mu raised his hand and threw it to Feng Zhen, saying, “Here you are.”
“Swoos.h.!.+”
The Black Dragon King Sword turned into a beam of red light and shot toward Feng Zhen.
Feng Zhen stretched out his hand to take it.
“Snap!”
His wrist was instantly fractured.
The Black Dragon King Sword was too fast, and its weight was too heavy, which were far beyond what his palm and wrist could take. Hence, it broke his wrist, pierced through his chest, cut open the black armor made of dragon scales, and pinned him to the stone wall…
This was no longer about the disparity of the cultivation realms, cultivation methods, or combat skills. Instead, it was about the absolute strength, the crus.h.i.+ng blow brought solely by physical strength.
“Too weak.”
Li Mu shook his head.
The natural qi in his body was raging, and the divine bridge had just formed in his Sea of Consciousness.
When others built their divine bridge, they did it step by step. First, they started from the head of the bridge, then moved on to the piers, the main part, and then the ending part. The completion of the bridge was also what distinguished the Mortal Realm cultivators at the great completion from those at the lower, middle, and high levels. Only by building a perfect divine bridge would one be at the great completion of the Mortal Realm.
However, Li Mu finished building the divine bridge in his Sea of Consciousness at one go and instantly reached the great completion of the Mortal Realm.
In addition to his daily acc.u.mulation of strength, the most important thing that enabled him to achieve that was the strong support Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword had provided. Feng Zhen had fed Li Mu all kinds of magic herbs and precious medicines, which were worth no less than a thousand gold-colored fairy crystals. It could be said that Feng Zhen had thrown all the wealth he had acc.u.mulated in his life into the furnace. The energy in the furnace was too rampant, and in an instant, it forced the riping of Li Mu.
And the key of the process was Li Mu’s body being refined with the elixir-refining fire. Just like an elixir, Li Mu had actually been refined into a human-shaped Magic Treasure.
His physical body was unbreakable.
Forty-nine days ago, Li Mu found that the pressure emitted by Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword was extremely horrible. It was not something he could overcome. But 49 days later, when Li Mu faced Feng Zhen again, what he felt was completely different. Not only did he not feel any sense of oppression, but he felt that he could defeat Feng Zhen easily.
When he said that Feng Zhen was too weak, he truly felt so. It was not because he was deliberately putting on airs to provoke his opponent.
At this time, Feng Zhen finally realized that he was no match for Li Mu anymore.
Although he did not want to admit it, the huge sense of oppression and danger made him completely lose the courage to fight again.
But Feng Zhen was also a fierce man. He raced forward and pulled out his body from the Black Dragon King Sword, leaving a hole in his left chest, which was as big as the size of a bowl. The Black Dragon King Sword was still pinned on the wall.
Blood gushed out like a spring.
Feng Zhen didn’t even have the time to pull out his Black Dragon King Sword. He simply whipped around and fled towards the entrance of the Elixir Room.
But Li Mu was faster.
When Feng Zhen rushed to the door, Li Mu was already there. With a lift of his hand, he directly grabbed the neck of the former expert in the Soldier Realm.
Li Mu, who was in the Mortal Realm, now moved several times faster than before when he performed the Somersault Cloud. An ordinary cultivator in the Soldier Realm was no longer his match.
At this time, it could be said that he had defeated Feng Zhen in all aspects of strength.
Or in other words, Li Mu, who was in the Mortal Realm, could completely crush ordinary cultivators in the Soldier Realm in terms of combat capability.
Now, the Sect Master of Mount Shu was a real freak.
Feng Zhen struggled but failed. He could only stare at Li Mu with horror and resentment.
Li Mu said, “Don’t blame me. It’s all your destiny. You really brought me great luck. Thank you for giving me so many divine herbs and precious medicines to help me break through. You are such a good person.”
Feng Zhen was so mad that he felt like he was going to die of grievance.
Was there anything in the world more sorrowful than that?
He had saved up those herbs bit by bit for a lifetime, gone through all kinds of troubles to learn elixir refining skills, and even borrowed money to collect all the ingredients the ancient elixir prescription required. But as it turned out, he created a killer with his own hands. He lost all his wealth and his life all for Li Mu’s benefit. If others knew about it, he would become the biggest laughingstock in the entire Brilliance Immortal Star Region over the past tens of thousands of years, wouldn’t he?
But he could do nothing about it.
“Don’t think that you can laugh till the end as long as you kill me. Haha, you still have no idea. You…” Feng Zhen laughed viciously.
Before he could finish his words—
“Crack!”
Li Mu immediately wrung Feng Zhen’s neck.
The Broadsword Intent of Drizzle flowed and instantly invaded Feng Zhen, whose body quickly melted into raindrops and wetted the Elixir Room.
This time, Li Mu entered the Mortal Realm and start a bloodbath.
Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword, an expert in the Soldier Realm, got enmeshed in a web of his own spinning. All the efforts he made ended up benefiting his enemy. Just like that, he died in his own elixir room without a sound.
