Chapter 533 - An Unexpected Change



Chapter 533 An Unexpected Change

“Hum? This is…”

Hiding in a naturally well-concealed small cave at the foot of the Desktop Peak and constantly cultivating, Li Mu felt a sudden impulse and stopped running his cultivation method, for he had just sensed a very familiar wave of energy fluctuations coming from the east.

“It’s impossible.”

Li Mu looked extremely shocked.

This kind of energy fluctuation was the same as that of the life-saving jade that he had given to some important figures of the Chinese Martial Arts Alliance when he was on Earth. If those figures were in danger, they could activate the jade to conjure a shield for protection that would last for some time while sending a message to Li Mu for help.

“Someone is activating the jade. And he or she seems to be very close to me. What’s going on?”

The power of the jade was indeed very impressive on Earth. Li Mu could sense its existence in any corner of the earth as long as it was activated. But now, as Bitter Star was at least 1.3 billion light years away from Earth, it was supposed to be impossible for Li Mu to feel it.

This was odd.

Very odd.

Li Mu also could not understand this.

“Let’s go and have a look.”

Li Mu stopped cultivating and turned into a stream of light, which zoomed out of the cave. Ride the flying broadsword, he pelted in the direction of the activated jade piece.

“Retreat, retreat now!”

Gu Lang, Head of the Ancient Yue Sect, one of the Seven Sacred Sects, was so angry that his eyes felt like they were about to split. He roared, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face distorted by indignation.

Behind him were more than a dozen experts of the Chinese Martial Alliance and the military. Each of them was injured, and several people had died in battle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The thermal weapons in the hands of the military experts were firing wildly.

This specially-made thermal weapon was extremely powerful. It kept firing and formed a fire net. Several figures swooping over from the opposite side let out a few muffled groans. With blood splattering all over their bodies, they were sent flying back. Only when this scene occurred did the people charging at them feel a bit of apprehension.

“Be careful! The weapons of the Devil Cult are quite weird!”

“Besiege them!”

“Shields! Shields are needed…”

The people launching the besiegement were experts from the West Sea Sword Sect, one of the Three Grand Sword Sects in the Ancient Star World.

Dozens of seconds ago, after encountering a group of cultivators from Earth, the experts of the West Sea Sword Sect quickly made a judgment that these people were the evil remnants of the Devil Cult, and they immediately launched an attack. The group of Chinese cultivators from Earth was caught off guard and so suffered heavy losses in a trice.

In the face of this unfamiliar thermal weapon, after losing several disciples in the Great Master Realm, the rest of the attackers learned to leap to the air and constantly changed their positions. Their movements were as fast as lightning, so the thermal weapon held by the military experts could no longer hit the targets accurately.

But fortunately, the eruption of thermal weapons at least held back the momentum of the West Sea Sword Sect’s slaughter.

The two experts from the Martial Alliance eventually brought back the heavily injured Gu Lang, the head of the Ancient Yue Sect, who had taken a blow from the opponent in order to cover the others.

“Who are you?” Gu Lang shouted angrily, “Why did you attack us?”

The attack came as such a surprise that they had yet to completely pick up the situation. They could not understand why all of a sudden there was such hostility and killing intent coming at them.

A burst of shouts came from the opposite side, as though they were responding.

However, Gu Lang and the others could not comprehend what the other party was shouting about.

Because they spoke in a completely different language.

But judging from their body language, they did not seem to have any intention of compromising. Instead, it appeared that they wanted to kill all of them.

Soon, more than half of the experts of the Chinese Martial Alliance and the military were lost, leaving behind more than 20 survivors. They were surrounded by a ring cliff, relying on the cover of thermal weapons to prevent the other party from rushing in. Nevertheless, they had no chance to rush out either.

Whoosh!

A beam of light reflected by a hidden weapon flew over.

A young military expert that was aiming at the enemies gave a muffled grunt as he fell to the ground with an iron sword pierced into his forehead.

“What should we do?”

Gu Lang was burning with anxiety.

He had not expected to run into such powerful native cultivators during his exploration in the Heaven. Furthermore, the cultivators were such terrifying martial arts experts. Their average strength was much stronger than that of him and his team.

As a matter of fact, when the Chinese Martial Alliance teamed up with the military, they arguably became the top force on Earth. No one could fight against them, nor was there any force from any country that could compete with them.

However, when they came across the native cultivators, they were demolished in no time.

These native experts seemed extremely frenzied, brimming with killing intent and the desire to battle. They continued shouting and roaring, but unfortunately, the Earth team did not understand a word.

“If it goes on like this, we will be completely wiped out.”

Gu Lang was the head of one of the Seven Sacred Sects on Earth, as well as the chief director of the Chinese team conducting this exploration of the Mount Shu Heaven. Seeing the young soldiers and the experts of the Martial Alliance collapsed one by one, he felt pricks of guilt, and his eyes were widened to the bursting point.

These people were all cherished talents of the country. They were the martial arts talents the country had painstakingly fostered. Yet, they were killed as easily as grass being mowed. That made his heart bleed in pain.

If risking his life could prevent this, he would have long charged forward.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Hidden weapons continued to fly over.

Gu Lang acted as if he didn’t care about his own life. He stood in front of everyone and brandished the sword in his hand to throw off the hidden weapons. But soon he was hit by several weapons in a row, having multiple sharp blades cut into his flesh.

Even so, a force that he did not know where it came from had supported him in resisting at all costs. Even though his blood was running down like a stream, he did not retreat.

“Master, master…” Ding Ke, his disciple, tried desperately to pull him back.

The battle was fierce.

“Stop killing. Catch them alive!”

In a distance, Lin Zhen, a low-level presbyter of the West Sea Sword Sect, shouted.

He was excited because he would be granted a handsome reward if he seized these strange people of Devil Cult and brought them back to the Desktop Peak.

“The military troops, cover the others. Members of the Martial Alliance, break out of the encirclement! Get at least one person out of this!” The commander of the military sighed.

This decision meant that the military force might all be buried here. However, they were military men. At the most dangerous moment, they must rise to the situation. That was the mission of military men.

“It would be great if only God of Massacre Li were here.”

A young expert from the Martial Alliance said loudly.

“Certainly.”

Everyone thought so.

Pitifully, everyone was also aware that God of Massacre Li did not enter the Mount Shu Heaven.

However, though the Martial Alliance and the military launched several strikes to break out of the encirclement, all of them failed miserably. What was more, as time passed, the ammunition the military possessed had been used up. Now, the weapons had almost no deterrent effect on the enemy.

More than 50 disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect had surrounded Gu Lang and others from all sides.

“Kneel down and surrender. Otherwise, we will take your heads back to exchange for rewards.”

Lin Zhen stood in the void, overlooking the people on the earth, feeling empowered to take their lives.

Although Gu Lang and his men failed to pick up the meaning of the other party, they still sensed a certain kind of ridicule and disdain, as well as the contempt as if looking at animals from their eyes and tone of voice.

“Who are you on earth?” Demanded Gu Lang in deep anger and grief. He stood bolt upright, the end of his sword propping against the ground.

“Kill him.” Lin Zhen frowned slightly.

He could see that this old man was the leader of the “evil remnants of the Devil Cult”, and he was quite tenacious. It was useless to keep this kind of person alive, so Lin Zhen decided to simply take his head to the Desktop Peak for the reward.

A disciple at Natural Realm of the West Sea Sword Sect struck at once. His sword thrust forward like a jet of light and hacked at Gu Lang.

Even though the other Earth cultivators and soldiers wanted to save him, it was already too late.

Natural-level experts were so powerful that it was impossible for them to fight against them.

In the blink of an eye, the sword light was about to hit Gu Lang and cause his head to fly off. Suddenly, a jet of blade light appeared and caught up with the sword light. In a flash, the sword light shattered and exploded. With a bang, the disciple of the West Sea Sword Sect who had launched the attack was instantly blasted into a mist of blood and dispersed.

Blood splattered on the faces of Lin Zhen and the others.

“Who’s there?”

Horrified, Lin Zhen subconsciously turned his head to check.

But he did not spot anything.

However, when he turned back, he saw a tall figure dressed in the clothes of a handyman standing in front of Gu Lang and his lot. Lin Zhen could not see what this person looked like because he was facing him with his back. Even so, Lin Zhen’s instincts told him that he should be very young.

It was Li Mu.

When Gu Lang and the others saw Li Mu, they couldn’t believe their eyes. Yet, all of them were immediately overwhelmed by ecstasy.

The Eastern God of Massacre!

He was the symbol of omnipotent.

“Senior Gu, how… how come you’re in this world?” Li Mu also found it a bit unbelievable as he saw Gu Lang and the others.

This was the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, a place was more than 1.3 billion light years from Earth.

How come dozens of Earth people just appeared in front of Li Mu out of the blue? It felt like a dream. Did they also come here from the Space Vortex at the Nie Dragon Mountain?

No way!

Didn’t they also have to go through the Heavenly Tribulation?

Moreover, Li Mu had warned the Earth people not to enter the vortex in Qinling Heaven. Before leaving, he had sealed it with a tactical deployment again, so other people should have no way to go into it.

“Your Excellency, who are you? How dare you shield the evil remnants of the Devil Cult?” Lin Zhen came to his senses and questioned in a booming voice.

At the same time, he signaled the disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect with his eyes to surround Li Mu.

Lin Zhen felt that Li Mu’s energy fluctuations were not strong, so he had no fear. He was under the impression that another expert of the Devil Cult nearby had heard the news and rushed to help his fellows, allowing him to arrest one more sinned man and earn another great merit.

Swoosh!

A flash of broadsword light dashed by.

Before the disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect could react, they saw Lin Zhen’s head suddenly fly up in the air. Then, like two pieces of deadwood, the two pieces of his body fell down before he could utter a word.

“Crap…”

The other disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect turned pale with fright when they saw this.

With their elder being crushed, they realized that they had met an absolutely powerful expert. In an instant, they lost their will to fight and turned tail to flee.

“Run!”

“This man is a high-level leader of the Devil Cult!”

“Hurry up and report this!”

The disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect scattered in all directions.

Li Mu, however, did not even look back.

With a stir of his mind, the broadsword light flickered.

In just a couple of seconds, more than 50 disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect were killed by the broadsword, and none of them escaped.

The Emperors’ Fire circled around them and burned them all into ashes, leaving no trace behind.

“God of Massacre Li, we… You finally…” Gu Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief. But when he said only a few words, suddenly, his vision went black and he couldn’t hold on any longer. Then, his legs become limp and he directly fell forward.

Li Mu caught Gu Lang in time. As he was about to say something, abruptly, his face changed. Noticing something, he said, “Someone is coming. Come with me. Let’s get out of here first.”

He brought everyone out of this place as quickly as possible.

Moments later.

Several streams of light twinkled.

Several elder-level experts of the West Sea Sword Sect cladding in brocade robes sped to the battlefield. Then, flashes of sword light appeared. Hundreds of disciples of the West Sea Sword Sect above the Natural Realm rapidly surrounded the area from all directions.

“Hum? How could they escape so quickly?”

“This is the place where Lin Zhen’s aura of life dissipated in the end.”

“Although Lin Zhen was just a low-level presbyter, he was already half a step away from the Celestial Being Realm. But he did not even have time to send a warning before he was killed. That shows the enemy was very strong, at least a Sect-keeping Elder of the Devil Cult.”

“Let’s chase them. They can’t get far,” a high-level elder of the West Sea Sword Sect in a brocade robe said coldly. “How dare the people of the Devil Cult to go out of White Emperor City? Mount Shu is already a tight dragnet. Even those in the Void-breaking Realm will find it hard to escape. Well, those evil remnants of the Devil Cult really don’t know how to spell the word ‘death’.”
