There had never been such silence on the battlefield.
Both the Huangji Cliff and the Dongxuan Celestial Sect shuddered at the sight of the man in white holding the head of the enemy.
What kind of person was that?
He single-handedly defeated the army of an Immortal Dao force.
If Liang Zhen and Zhao Yiqiu were both 'nobodies', then Wei Xianshan was a veteran Golden Immortal whose name shook the entire Moon River Prefecture.
And the result?
He couldn't last more than 30 moves under Mu Mu's sword.
Other than being killed instantly, he was basically crushed.
Crushed like a dead tree branch.
Throughout the whole process, Wei Xianshan was completely suppressed from the beginning to the end. He didn't have any chance to fight back until he died.
"Who else?"
Li Mu glanced around and asked calmly.
On the Xuan 'ge, the experts of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect were scared out of their wits. Someone screamed and fear flooded them. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Instantly, beams of light leaped from the Xuan 'ge, turned into arcs of light, and fled.
As for the rest of the Dongxuan Immortal Gate army, their faces were ashen as they retreated in a panic.
"Too weak."
Li Mu tossed Wei Xianshan's head to the side and, in a flash, returned to the city walls of Sunset City.
Whoosh!
His figure landed.
A terrifying murderous aura swept out.
The generals of the Extreme Emperor Cliff could only feel the smell of blood rushing towards them. The murderous aura made them all fearful and instinctively retreated.
Li Mu looked at Zhou Kefu and said, "What are you waiting for? Give the order to pursue while we're winning?"
Zhou Kefu steadied himself and glared at Li Mu. "I am the general. Why do I need you to teach me?"
"Do we pursue or not?" Li Mu asked.
Zhou Kefu's expression turned vicious. He yelled, "Guards, where is the military judge? Take down this arrogant man who insulted the general and disregarded military discipline. Kill him on the spot! "
The guards around him unsheathed their weapons.
The atmosphere suddenly heated up.
Li Mu was startled. He said calmly, "Oh? Are you sure you want to kill me? "
Zhou Kefu gritted his teeth and said, "So what if I kill you? You have no respect for military discipline, contradicted the commander-in-chief, and went to battle without permission … Any one of these crimes is enough for your entire family to be executed. If I kill you, do you dare not accept it? Don't tell me you dare to commit treason? "
Li Mu looked at Zhou Kefu as if he was looking at an idiot.
It wasn't without reason that the Extreme Emperor Cliff had fallen to such a state.
The ministers of the imperial court held high positions, but they were all afraid of death. They begged for peace but did not dare to fight.
The generals in the army were all in cahoots with each other. They were arrogant and greedy for achievements. They were xenophobic and short-sighted. When they encountered difficulties, they would avoid battles and retreat. When they saw those who stood out, they would not think of protecting and promoting them. Instead, they would make things difficult for them.
Even as a trusted aide of the Emperor and a favored person of the new dynasty, it was still so difficult. One could imagine how difficult it was for those generals and soldiers of ordinary backgrounds to make contributions and stand out.
This Zhou Kefu, the so-called famous Huangji Cliff's God of War, saw that he had made such a great contribution and turned the tide of the war, and the first thing that came to his mind was to kill him.
What was he planning?
Li Mu was not a fool.
If he admitted his guilt and was executed, then who would get the credit for defeating Wei Xianshan and repelling the invading army of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect?
It was clear that he had some crooked thoughts and wanted to snatch the credit.
This battle was under the watchful eyes of millions of people.
Zhou Kefu and his men dared to have such an idea. It was obvious how arrogant they were.
Killing intent rose in Li Mu's heart.
"Touch me? Haha, who dares? "
Li Mu sneered and glanced around arrogantly.
The guards around him, who had already unsheathed their swords and were about to rush up to that man with ferocious faces, felt a fierce aura blowing on their faces as Li Mu's eyes swept over them. The terrible pressure almost made them kneel on the spot.
They immediately came to their senses.
This was not right.
This Mu Mu was not a pushover. He was a ruthless person who killed an expert like Wei Xianshan. Wouldn't they be courting death if they charged at him?
"Mu Mu, do you really dare to rebel? His Majesty has done you a great favor. How dare you be so arrogant? "Zhou Kefu shouted fiercely.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was a little too hasty just now.
Ordinary generals would naturally have no ability to resist his methods.
But this Mu Mu was too powerful.
If he forced this person to rebel, how could he explain to the emperor?
Thinking of this, Zhou Kefu's expression softened a little. He said, "Mu Mu, since you have made a great contribution today, I will reluctantly atone for your crimes. You may be spared from the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment. If you surrender, I will not make things difficult for you. I will explain everything that happened today and report it to His Majesty. I will ask His Majesty to make a decision."
This was a signal.
The surrounding generals immediately understood what was going on.
"Yes, Mu Xianfeng, you are still young. Don't be reckless."
"Marshal Zhou is a wise man. If it's yours, it's yours. No one can take it away from you. However, you've violated the military law. If you persist in going your own way and defy the military law, even His Majesty won't be able to save you then."
"You have to be flexible."
"Mu Xianfeng, don't be impulsive."
A group of generals, with an expression that said "we are actually doing this for your own good", said one after another.
Li Mu looked up and laughed.
"Hahaha, haha …"
Suddenly, the laughter stopped.
Bang!
Li Mu suddenly made a move.
He stepped out and hit Zhou Kefu's chest.
Crack.
The sound of the sternum breaking.
And the sound of blood splashing.
Zhou Kefu did not even have time to react. With a look of disbelief, he flew out and hit hard on the watchtower of the city gate. Smoke and dust filled the air, and the watchtower collapsed.
"I have said that I will give you face and call you General. If I don't give you face, you are nothing … But you have a bad memory."
Li Mu shook his head and said regretfully.
His figure sped forward.
Before Zhou Kefu could get up, he was directly stepped by Li Mu again.
"Is that all you have?"
He stepped on Zhou Kefu's chest, looked down, and said disdainfully.
Although it was a sudden attack, Zhou Kefu's reaction was far worse than Wei Xianshan's. They were both experienced Golden Immortal experts and were equally famous. Everyone thought that they were on the same level. But now, it seemed like the so-called army god of Extreme Emperor Cliff was a little lacking compared to Wei Xianshan.
Indeed, power and fame could make people decadent and degenerate.
Obviously, it was no different.
Zhou Kefu might be really strong in the past.
But after he became the so-called God of Army, he was obsessed with power and management. Instead, he lost the watermelon to pick the sesame seed, which led to the decline of his cultivation, and he lost the heart of an immortal cultivator.
Zhou Kefu felt humiliated. His face was flushed, and he struggled with all his strength. Anger burned his reason, and he roared, "You are rebelling! Mu Mu is rebelling … I will never forgive you. Mu Mu, I will kill you … I swear, I will kill you! Ahhhhh!"
He madly swore in his heart that from today on, no matter who begged him, no matter what price he had to pay, he would find a way to kill Mu Mu. He must make Mu Mu live a life worse than death.
But Li Mu decided that he wouldn't give him any chance.
Anyone who stood in his way had to die.
"Don't swear, old thing. You have no chance."
The Phoenix Sword pierced through the air.
The sword light flashed.
The sword edge swept over his neck.
Zhou Kefu's roar stopped abruptly.
His expression froze on his face.
His head rolled down like a ripe watermelon.
Blood gushed out.
The other generals who were about to come to help Zhou Kefu were petrified on the spot. They were all stunned.
Indescribable shock and anger came.
Uncontrollable fear grew.
The huge shock was like a tidal wave, drowning them.
The commander was dead.
The vanguard killed the commander.
It felt like the sky was falling.
They couldn't believe their eyes.
Too arrogant.
Too crazy.
Who gave this Mu Mu the guts to do this?
Did he know what he was doing?
On the city wall.
Only the gurgling sound of Zhou Kefu's blood could be heard clearly.
Li Mu put the bloodstained commander token on the tip of the sword and turned to look at the crowd.
"I was ordered by His Majesty not only to be the vanguard general, but also to supervise the army in secret. I have the power to kill first and report later."
Li Mu opened his mouth.
"Zhou Kefu was old and muddle-headed. He was afraid of the enemy and could not be of great use. In the court, he formed a clique for personal gain and caused trouble to the army. His Majesty wanted to get rid of him long ago. Today, I killed him under His Majesty's order.
Who dares to object? "Li Mu continued.
The surrounding generals looked bitter, but the fear in their hearts didn't diminish at all.
Who would believe that?
But who dared to ask Li Mu to show evidence?
Li Mu glanced around and saw the people around him. He no longer wanted to resist and said, "From now on, I am the commander of the Western Expedition Army. Send my order. The army will go after the remnants of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect. We will not take prisoners.
The generals looked at each other in dismay.
But when they saw the commander token on the tip of the sword, they gradually lowered their heads.
They could only go with the flow.
Mu Mu was simply a lunatic.
Resisting him would only lead to death.
Their status was far lower than Zhou Kefu's. Their strength was also far from Zhou Kefu's. Zhou Kefu was killed like a bug. What else could they do?
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir."
A series of responses that went against their will.
Under the pressure of Li Mu's powerful strength, the entire Western Expedition Army quickly reorganized and split up to pursue.
From Setting Sun City to the west, a cruel and merciless chase began.
Li Mu personally supervised the battle.
Any Dongxuan Celestial Sect disciple who was slightly stronger was killed by Li Mu.
As for the other ordinary disciples, with Wei Xianshan, Zhao Yiqiu, and the others dead and the Dongxuan Celestial Sect defeated, they couldn't do anything. They were directly killed.
In the meantime, several elders of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect came to help and tried to organize a counterattack. But in the end, they were all mercilessly killed by Li Mu.
Under such a rhythm, in less than a day, the invading army of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect completely collapsed and fled frantically.
The territories that the Huangji Cliff lost were also completely recovered.
"Continue to march into the territory of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect. Let them have a taste of the scorched land of their homeland."
Under Li Mu's order, the Huangji Cliff's army was like a raging tide. They didn't stop and directly crossed the Yuechuan Prefecture and killed their way into the territory of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect.
"Blood for blood, a tooth for a tooth."
The soldiers of the Huangji Cliff were already completely intoxicated by the wonderful feeling of victory. They shouted their slogans and were like locusts. Wherever they went, they did everything they could to loot and destroy. They also enjoyed the pleasure of invading.
