Huang Shengyi's skin and bones were soon burned to ashes.
His Divine Soul Avatar was exposed.
What surprised everyone was that Huang Shengyi's soul was different from that of an ordinary person. There were strands of black mist attached to it, as if there were snakes and insects inside. It emitted an evil and gloomy aura, with a faint rotten smell. It was wrapped by Taoist True Fire and burned. When he roared, he made two sounds, one was Huang Shengyi's own wail, and the other was like a devil or a beast. The roar he made was ear-piercing and extremely terrifying …
"He even sold his soul to the Extra-terrestrial Devil …"
Seeing this scene, everyone understood.
The black ghostly fire Huang Shengyi cast at the last moment was almost comparable to that of a real Sage. It turned out that the source of his power came from that.
"Ah … Immortal Master, help me, help me …" Huang Shengyi's soul was still begging at the last moment. But the black and gloomy power that had penetrated his soul could not protect itself at all. It was burned by the Taoist True Fire. As it struggled, it turned into a ferocious face and roared. Then, it dissipated like a puff of smoke.
Huang Shengyi's soul, together with the Extra-terrestrial Devil that had eroded his soul, was completely refined into ashes.
The Semi-Sage, who had been in control of everything, was blown away by the wind and rain and died in the world.
The drastic changes before and after were shocking.
Standing on the Samsara Knife, Li Mu also felt that it was too easy today.
He had been prepared to fight a protracted war or a guerrilla war.
However …
Huang Shengyi was also unlucky.
In today's battle, if Li Mu had encountered anyone else, even if that person was a Sage, he would have been defeated at most. He wouldn't have been unable to escape. After all, the deal between him and the Extra-terrestrial Devil was still there. Li Mu hadn't used all the real evil means yet. That was the power that could even fight against a real Sage. But as it turned out, Li Mu had burned all of them with the Taoist True Fire.
"This is fate."
"I'm destined to be your nemesis."
Li Mu silently mourned in the direction where Huang Shengyi was burned to ashes.
Then —
"In ten breaths of time, all of you scram."
Li Mu looked at the yellow series experts in the distant sky, then looked at the panicking experts of the various sects and the imperial court's army below, and shouted without any trace of politeness.
Sou Sou Sou.
All the experts who swore to be loyal to Huang Shengyi before, including the bald and strong expert with an axe, were like frightened rabbits. They didn't even dare to say a word and directly turned around to flee, for fear that Li Mu would catch up with them and hack them.
On the ground, the experts of the sects who had been forced to attack the Yue Mountain Faction had long given up the idea of fighting. At the sight of such a scene, they were overjoyed. They also dropped all kinds of weapons used to attack the mountain and retreated like the tide.
Only the Imperial Guards, who were ordered to attack the mountain, did not retreat.
The saber light flashed.
Li Mu's figure directly appeared in front of the Flying Arrow Battalion.
Creak.
The sounds of countless Yuan Breaking Crossbows being pulled rang out.
Countless arrowheads were subconsciously aimed at Li Mu, who was floating at a low altitude of 10 meters.
"Still not retreating?" Li Mu glanced at the general in front of the formation and said, "The Flying Arrow Battalion has 6,000 archers, 2,000 shield soldiers, and 2,000 spear soldiers. Fully armed, how many times can they block my saber?" Under his feet, the Samsara Knife was overflowing, bursting out transparent saber light, which seemed to distort the light in the surrounding space.
Horrible pressure pervaded the air.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down the temple of that general.
Everyone in the Western Qin Army had heard of the fame and deeds of Lord Taibai Li Mu, the poetic and martial genius of Chang 'an.
Qiu Yin, the Broadsword Man, was also a famous martial arts master. But his fame was more or less related to the Guanshan Pasture. Moreover, Qiu Yin was a chivalrous man and never did anything too outrageous. He always acted within the rules. But the man in front of him was different. He was unscrupulous and only acted according to his own likes and dislikes. At a word of disagreement, the crown prince and the prince were all beheaded, and Huang Shengyi and his grandson became ghosts under his saber.
Would such a man be afraid of the majesty of the Imperial Guards?
Even if the head of the Flying Arrow Battalion was kicked by a donkey, he would not think so.
Yes, how many sabers could the 10,000 elites of the Flying Arrow Battalion withstand?
Two?
Or three?
In the end, the commander of the Flying Arrow Battalion took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said, "Since it is Lord Taibai's order, how dare I disobey? Give the order to retreat. "
With a wave of his hand, the Flying Arrow Battalion of the Imperial Guards retreated like a tide.
Li Mu's other identity was that he was a lord of the Western Qin Empire. Although it was only an honorary title, it was not impossible to use it as an excuse to withdraw the troops at this time.
There was no need to fight for nothing.
In the twinkling of an eye, all the forces besieging the Yue Mountain Faction had retreated.
Li Mu rode on his broadsword, turned into an arc of light, and arrived at the top of the Yue Mountain.
The tactical deployment was opened.
Xu Yue, Head of the Yue Mountain Faction, and others, as well as Qiu Yin and Xu Sheng, all came out to greet him.
"Greetings, Lord Taibai."
"Third Brother, you came so fast."
"Haha, little brother, you defeated a million soldiers with one strike. How delightful!"
Several people came up to greet Li Mu.
The tension in the hearts of the entire Yue Mountain Faction was finally loosened.
That must be the prestige earned by a martial arts master. For the Yue Mountain Faction, it was almost a disaster. But for Li Mu, it was a piece of cake that could solve the problem with a single hack. He could turn the tide, prop up the skyscraper, stand at the head of the tide, resist the current, kill a sage with one hack, and drive the enemy away with one word …
That was the charm and strength of a real peerless genius.
Countless young disciples of the Yue Mountain Faction were looking at Li Mu with admiration and respect.
"Brother Xu, what are you …" Seeing Xu Sheng's arms were cut off, Li Mu was shocked and angry.
Xu Sheng's cultivation was all in his fists. Now that his arms were cut off, how could he perform his boxing skills?
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I don't need my fists, but I can practice my legs." Xu Sheng was in a good state of mind. He was an open-minded person. Now that the disaster of the Yue Mountain Faction was over, he was happier than anyone else.
"Third brother, this time, you got involved in this whirlpool," Qiu Yin said with a guilty look.
In the Guanshan Pasture, the imperial army and the Executive Group showed up. This was no longer just a competition for the position of the head of the Holy Clan. Just thinking about the murderous intent behind it would send a chill down one's spine. In such a vortex, even a Sage would be swallowed up by the karma if he was not careful.
"Second brother, don't say that. We are brothers, and we are brothers. Do you think we became brothers just to share wealth?" Li Mu said seriously.
The whole Yue Mountain Faction was celebrating.
Xu Sheng said, "It's not too early to be happy. This thing is not as simple as it looks. I'm worried that the Guanshan Pasture and the imperial family will soon come back. The mastermind behind all this will never give up so easily."
Qiu Yin nodded and said, "Yes, we need to make plans early. We can't stay here for long."
Hearing that, Li Mu also asked, "What on earth is going on? If it's just the internal strife of the Guanshan Pasture, why did the imperial army and the imperial Executive Group get involved? "
He came in a hurry, so he did not know what was going on.
Qiu Yin told him the cause and effect of the matter. Then, he said, "It's the devil's dance. I'm afraid we didn't notice it before, but the extraterrestrial devils have quietly descended and infiltrated many places. The situation is much worse than we thought."
Li Mu stopped, turned around, and shouted down the mountain, "Yuan Hou, go and find out what's going on outside."
A long and clear howl came from the foot of the mountain. Then, a golden light streaked across the sky and chased after the Flying Arrow Battalion.
Before that, Yuan Hou, the golden ape, had never shown up. Originally, Li Mu planned to let it help him and the others escape. But to his surprise, it killed Huang Shengyi and scared off a group of people. Therefore, since they did not need to escape for the time being, he could let it explore the way.
However, the development of the matter was far beyond Li Mu and the others' expectation.
Less than an hour later, the ape returned with injuries.
Everyone knew the reason before it reported anything.
The imperial army of the Flying Arrow Battalion returned, along with the other six elite battalions of the imperial army.
In the void, the Flying Feather Battalion, the elite of the elite of the imperial army, also showed up. There were as many as 5,000 elite armored soldiers riding eagles. Like a swarm of locusts, they surrounded and guarded three hundred-meter-long airships. On the leading airship, there was a huge flag with a black nine-headed bird on it. The flag fluttered in the wind, giving off a solemn, dignified, and murderous aura. That was the totem flag of the royal family of the Western Qin Empire. Only the big shots in the royal family who held great power would carry such a flag when they went to war in person.
At the sight of the nine-headed bird flag, many senior experts of the Yue Mountain Faction paled.
The imperial family went to war in person, and they would not stop until one of them died.
Moreover, that was not all.
Those sects that had retreated before, the experts of the Huang family, the disciples of the Guanshan Pasture, the Executive Group of the Imperial Family, and the experts of the Supervisory Department, were now dozens of times more numerous than before. Like a black tide, they besieged Li Mu from all directions. Compared with the time when Huang Shengyi led his people to besiege Li Mu, the scene this time was many times more terrible … Both the number and the quality of the enemies were hopeless.
The Yue Mountain Faction activated the All-side Starlight Deployment at once to protect the main gate.
The long and drawn-out sound of the bugle and the continuous beating of the military drums resounded between heaven and earth.
The murderous aura was spreading and boiling.
In the Yue Mountain Range, all the birds and beasts were trembling with fear and frantically fleeing.
In front of the main hall, countless disciples of the Yue Mountain Faction showed despair on their faces.
The oncoming scene had already surpassed the limit of what a sect could withstand.
It was also beyond the upper limit that Lord Taibai Li Mu could resist.
Because on the three giant flying ships, there were three sage-level auras no less than Huang Shengyi's spreading out. The black demonic aura swirled around like dark clouds, bringing only eternal darkness to the land. That was the outbreak of the power of an empire. Not only was there one sage, but there were also demons among them.
"According to the imperial edict of the emperor, the Yue Mountain Faction is guilty of rebellion and should be executed. No one will be spared. Trample the gate and destroy the world forever."
A cold and cruel voice, as cold as the judgment of the god of death, came from the leading flying ship and echoed between heaven and earth.
