A chilly breeze spread through the forest. Tens of thousands of citizens of Chi Luo Prefecture, led by a commandant, left the city with their families and headed in the direction of Winter Frost City. Chi Luo Prefecture could no longer be lived in. This small coastal city would soon be affected by the flames of war and would be repeatedly harassed by pirates. Staying here would only mean waiting for death.
Sobbing sounds could be heard everywhere. How sorrowful it was to leave one's home. Everyone knew that leaving one's home was especially miserable. Who would leave their home unless they had no other choice?
In the forest several kilometers away, the clamorous sound of horse hooves could be heard. It was the escapees of the North Stream Mercenary Group. Approximately two thousand cavalrymen and five hundred infantrymen had left Chi Luo Prefecture in a hurry. Their leader, Song of the North, had been killed by an even stronger expert. This was like a nightmare that lingered in everyone's hearts. At this moment, these mercenaries didn't even have the time to carry the wealth and women they had plundered. They had already left the "spoils of war" city in a hurry.
"Vice-captain, are we really going to leave just like this?"
A man with two scars on his face gripped his saber unwillingly and said, "That person is only one person. Why should we be afraid of him? Everyone, let's attack together. I don't believe that we can't kill him. Vice-captain, even you … are an expert with the cultivation of a Saint Martial Venerable. Why are you afraid of him? "
The vice-captain was a cold-looking young man. As he spurred his horse forward, he licked his lips and said, "That person isn't as simple as you think. Let's just forget about it. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Sooner or later, we'll get even with him! When that time comes, I'll cut him into a thousand pieces! "
The wind swirled and howled like a ghost.
The galloping crowd was immediately startled. The cavalrymen at the front all stopped their horses in unison. Lightning flashed in the sky and a figure wearing a white robe appeared. It was Lin Muyu.
"You!"
The vice-captain's face was filled with shock and he said, "Are you trying to kill us all?"
Under the moonlight, Lin Muyu's handsome face appeared extremely clear and bright. He raised his hand and slowly pulled out the Ice Origin Sword. His eyes were cold as he spoke clearly, "You've killed so many people in Chi Luo Prefecture. Do you still want to leave Chi Luo Prefecture alive?"
"You alone want to kill thousands of us?" The Deputy Guild Leader sneered. "You are too arrogant! Brothers, let's go! Archers, kill this idiot for me! Use the Demon Heart Arrow! Hehehe … "
One by one, the archers quickly reloaded their arrows with the Demon Heart Arrows. However, they did not know that although the Demon Heart Arrows were the natural enemy of Godly State experts, they were nothing to Gods who had awakened their God Walls. If they could not even penetrate the God Walls, they would not be able to seize God Power.
Lin Muyu looked at the horses they were riding and couldn't help but laugh, "A bunch of motley crew, but their horses are not bad."
"Nonsense!"
The deputy team leader sneered and said, "We spent a lot of money and effort to buy these warhorses from the plains of the Thunder Flame Sect. Prepare to die. This time, no one will be sneak attacked by you."
"Is that so?"
"Release the arrows!"
The arm strength of the Northern Stream Mercenary Group's mercenaries was quite outstanding. One arrow after another pierced through the air, and even Lin Muyu couldn't help but be secretly shocked. She had seen the strength of the Pixiu Mercenaries, and in terms of combat power, this group of Northern Stream Mercenaries was clearly a notch above them. It was no wonder that they dared to land ahead of the Blackstone Empire Mercenary Group and plunder the cities of Shattered Cauldron Realm.
Weng!
The golden wall of the gourd pierced through the air and blocked all the arrows. Meanwhile, Lin Muyu took a deep breath, raised her sword, and turned into a bolt of lightning as she pounced at the deputy team leader. She roared, "Die!"
The light intensified, and the starlight became resplendent. It was Initial Starlight.
Furthermore, after cultivating the Formless Elephant Art, Lin Muyu's attack aura became even sharper and bitingly cold. The moment she slashed out with her sword, the deputy team leader couldn't even move on his horse and had no way to dodge. The surrounding power of heaven and earth had already been completely controlled, and he couldn't even urge his horse to retreat. He could only block the attack head-on.
When he raised his sword, he felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the Ice Origin Sword was bitingly cold, and with a clang, it broke the deputy team leader's sword. The sword light flashed, and a head flew into the air. With just one Initial Starlight strike, a Sacred Heaven Realm expert had already been beheaded!
"Heavens, the deputy team leader is dead!"
"Deputy team leader!"
"We will help you take care of your twelve concubines!"
…
The group of mercenaries was in chaos, and the archers forgot to continue shooting. They now knew that the strength of this sneak attacker was worlds apart from theirs. It wasn't something that could be changed by a few thousand people. Moreover, even the most powerful Sacred Martial Supreme level deputy team leader had been beheaded. How could the others have the ability to resist?
"The deputy team leader is dead. Everyone, disperse and run!"
Everyone suddenly scattered.
However, Lin Muyu stood majestically in the air. She suddenly stomped on the void with one foot, and with a bang, the ground turned deathly white. A formless and tyrannical domain aura spread out, making it impossible for the escaping people to move. Moreover, it was as if Lin Muyu's stomp had stirred up a storm, and the white ground was filled with whirling wind blades. If one escaped, they would definitely die or be injured!
"No one is allowed to leave!"
Lin Muyu was in the air, and she shouted in a low voice, "All of you, dismount!"
The group of mercenaries was dumbfounded. They all dismounted from their warhorses and knelt on the ground. The mercenaries in front of them all begged for mercy. "Milady, please spare us. All the evil was done by Song of the North Liuhe. We were just trying to make a living!"
"I know. I didn't plan to kill all of you."
Lin Muyu raised her palm lightly, and wisps of supreme godly power rose up. She said with an imposing aura, "Those who stepped into the Shattered Cauldron Realm and killed people from the Shattered Cauldron Realm, all of you, step forward."
Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at each other.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but fly into a rage. She said, "I've long awakened the power of a godly strategy, and I can see through people's minds. If you think you can deceive me, then go ahead and try. But if I see through you, the consequences will be eternal damnation. I can even destroy your soul!"
In this day and age, it was impossible not to deceive!
In any case, the cultivation of the mercenaries in front of her was very low, and they couldn't see that Lin Muyu was only at the thirtieth celestial layer. Even if she told them that she had awakened the power of a godly strategy, they would still believe her.
As expected, nearly two hundred people walked out of the crowd one after another. Their faces were filled with shock, but they didn't dare to go against Lin Muyu's orders. If they did, they would probably suffer even worse consequences.
"Who … did you kill?" Lin Muyu asked indifferently.
A burly man carrying a battle axe said carelessly, "Milord, we didn't kill any soldiers. We only killed some worthless hunters and fishermen."
"Why did you say they were worthless?" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
The burly man was a smart man. He said, "Milord, from your attire, you should be one of the commanders of the Shattered Cauldron Realm's Qin Army. Although I'm not very familiar with the structure of the Qin Army, I know that a commander must have great foresight. A hunter and a fisherman can only bring three to five silver coins in taxes to the Qin Empire every year, but it's different for the soldiers. The training, equipment, and supplies of each soldier cost a lot of money. So … we only killed some worthless commoners. Please forgive us, Milord … As long as Milord doesn't hold grudges against us, I'm willing to surrender to the Qin Empire.
Unfortunately, he felt the wrong pulse. He didn't know what kind of person Lin Muyu was.
"You only killed commoners, right?" Lin Muyu asked.
Nearly two hundred mercenaries nodded in unison. "Yes, Milord, please forgive us!"
Lin Muyu smiled. His handsome smile looked like the smile of a devil in the eyes of the others. He slowly raised his palm and said, "If you killed soldiers on the battlefield, I could still respect your dignity as soldiers. But you killed commoners. Just based on this, you are not qualified to be soldiers of the Qin Empire. All of you … go to hell!"
With a wave of his sword, countless starlight whizzed out. No one expected that Lin Muyu would directly end these executioners with a tyrannical Seven Glorious Stars Transformation!
"Boom, boom, boom …"
Countless amounts of Astral Energy fell to the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere. The hundreds of mercenaries within the range of the Astral Energy were howling in pain. The Astral Energy penetrated through their bodies, evaporating their flesh and blood. Even their armors were completely melted. In the blink of an eye, not a single one of the nearly two hundred mercenaries was left alive. What was left was a huge pit filled with blood and broken bones.
"Oh my … God …"
The remaining group of mercenaries were dumbfounded. How was this the power of a god? It was simply the power of a devil!
Seven Glorious Stars Transformation was the unique skill of the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor. Thinking about what kind of person the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor was, he was a wanton and unrestrained demon. How could he care about the ethics of the world? He was born to kill. The Seven Glorious Stars Transformation that he created was naturally tyrannical and filled with the aura of an expert. Moreover, if these two hundred people didn't kill commoners indiscriminately, perhaps Lin Muyu wouldn't have used this skill.
The divine power in his body circulated. Lin Muyu slowly sheathed the Ice Origin Sword. This time, he felt much better. After stepping into the Divine King Realm, the Astral Transformation only consumed half of his divine power. Even the backlash wasn't as strong. This proved that his soul force and divine power had greatly increased. Perhaps, when he stepped into the Divine Emperor Realm, he wouldn't have any backlash when using the Astral Transformation.
… …
Looking at the group of scared Northern Stream mercenaries, Lin Muyu's gaze was cold. She said, "Now, I'll give you a chance. I'll let you become captives of the Qin Empire. After transformation, you'll become soldiers of my Qin Family. Are you willing? If you are willing, stay. If not, leave immediately. I won't make things difficult for you. Go back to the Blackstone Empire. This isn't a place where you should stay. "
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Very soon, many people wanted to leave.
"Wait a moment. Leave the warhorses behind. We'll walk."
