After all, the Xiantian Skill and the Zhenwu Boxing that Li Mu practiced were immortal skills, and the Martial Emperor's Immortality Scripture was also the Taoist magic arts of Master Bodhi, which were many times more brilliant than the martial arts and combat skills in this world. Therefore, they could not be measured by the martial arts realm and combat power in this world. That was also where Li Mu's trump card lay.
However, there was an upper limit to defy the laws and fight sages.
Li Mu's current combat capability could rival that of experts who had just entered the Sage Realm.
When facing Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, the God of Killing among Sages, there was only one word for him — GG.
"That's enough. Back off."
With a stir of his mind, Li Mu turned into a stream of light and retreated.
"Humph." Yingshan Snow-eagle sneered with a sneer.
His figure suddenly disappeared on the bow of the Flying Whale Shuttle. In the same instant, he crossed a hundred meters and appeared behind Li Mu as if he had teleported. Then, his palms, which looked like the claws of a dead man, reached for Li Mu's shoulder.
This speed was simply unimaginable.
Li Mu's hair stood on end.
At that moment, he felt as if endless mountains were pressing down on him. The natural qi of the Southern Fire Emperor in his body began to stagnate and could not circulate smoothly. At the same time, his body was slowed down as if it had sunk into a swamp. In that instant, he even felt the coldness of Yingshan Snow-eagle's five fingers on his shoulder.
"Humph, the so-called genius …"
Yingshan Snow-eagle's pale eyes were calm. He exerted force in his palm, ready to smash Li Mu into pieces.
However, it was also at this moment that Li Mu seemed to be unable to bear the pressure. He slightly lowered his shoulders and made a very strange movement similar to a somersault.
Yingshan Snow-eagle felt his vision blurred. His palm smashed a vivid shadow, but the real Li Mu had disappeared.
"What's going on?"
Yingshan Snow-eagle was also stunned.
He did not realize what had happened.
He was determined to win that grab. But his opponent got away in such a weird way?
When he looked up again, Li Mu had already returned to the All-side Starlight Deployment. He raised his hand and waved. The five-colored divine light that filled the sky shuttled back and forth like flowing light. The 24 flying broadswords broke the sound barrier and returned to his hand, reassembling into the Samsara Knife.
"Third brother, are you all right?"
"Brother Li …"
"Prince."
A group of people gathered around and were all worried about Li Mu.
Just a moment ago, Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, had already cast his Spiritual Qi Confinement and almost captured Li Mu. Qiu Yin, Xu Sheng, and the others were all shocked by the scene. But to their surprise, at the last moment, Li Mu made a weird movement similar to a monkey doing a somersault, which produced a miraculous effect. In a split second, he was freed from the confinement of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and returned to the formation.
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye, and almost no one could react in time.
Li Mu heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm fine."
Only he knew how dangerous it was just now.
At the last second, Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword's murderous aura had penetrated into his body. If he had not cast the Somersault Cloud to escape in time, he would have become a pile of minced meat by then … The strength of the God of Massacre of the Western Qin Empire was really dreadful. He was far more powerful than any of the opponents he had met before.
It was too much.
Li Mu reflected on himself.
At that time, the qi of the Southern Fire Emperor was in disorder inside Li Mu. A stream of weird, bloody, murderous power was wreaking havoc in his meridians. Had it not been for his strong physical body, he would have been seriously injured and passed out.
"Humph, you're fast at escaping."
Yingshan Snow-eagle was, after all, a man who had weathered too many storms. Although he was surprised, he did not dwell too much on Li Mu's escape.
He looked down at the gate of the Yue Mountain Faction. A trace of madness gradually appeared in his pale, bloodshot eyes.
The horrifying Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth converged on his body like a raging tide.
He raised his hands in front of his chest. Layers of blood-red star deployment glittering with dense symbols rippled and expanded between his hands. The pressure of the ultimate move covered the area within a radius of several kilometers. In an instant, he had gathered an immeasurable amount of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. His holy will was surging, like a reservoir in a storm that was accumulating water, or a fiercely boiling underground fire that was about to erupt …
"Crap, he is going to crack the formation by force …"
Xu Sheng came to his senses, and his expression changed dramatically.
The All-side Starlight Deployment of the Yue Mountain Faction was marvelous and well-known on the Divine Land. It was even comparable to the national protective deployments of the major empires. But it was a deployment of a faction, not an empire, after all. First of all, its energy accumulation was not as good as that of an empire. Secondly, the deployment was set up by the predecessors. Since then, after a thousand years, the descendants of the Yue Mountain Faction had gradually lost masters of tactical deployments. As a result, the All-side Starlight Deployment lacked necessary maintenance. Under the attack of the torrent of time, it had many flaws. And after Huang Shengyi's continuous attacks and polishing, it could be said to be an arrow at the end of its flight.
Could the All-side Starlight Deployment in such a state still withstand the bombardment of Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword?
No one could guarantee that.
And once the deployment was breached, the entire Yue Mountain Faction would be wiped out in an instant.
"It can't." Li Mu, who was proficient in tactical deployments and had personally tested Yingshan Snow-eagle's power, made the judgment at once. He said, "This deployment can't withstand a strike from the Emperor's Broadsword. Head Xu, why don't you open the deployment at full speed?" He could tell that there were still many mysteries in the All-side Starlight Deployment that had not been released. He thought the Yue Mountain Faction was deliberately preserving its strength.
Xu Yue, the head of the Yue Mountain Faction, said with a wry smile, "It's not that we don't want to open it, but we can't. This All-side Starlight Deployment was built by the founder of our faction. No one can inherit the legacy of the founder. So … this is the best we can do in the past thousand years."
"What should we do?" Qiu Yin's expression also changed.
A sense of helplessness rose in everyone's heart.
There was a limit to one's strength.
Xu Sheng sighed and said, "Get ready to run. As long as one of us can make it out alive, our Yue Mountain Faction will definitely rise again one day …"
Everyone's faces were filled with sorrow.
At that moment, Li Mu said, "Don't be so pessimistic … Let me have a try."
He leaped into the air and came to a height of a hundred meters above the main hall. Then, he opened his Third Eye. A beam of divine light shot out from between his brows and scanned the entire deployment. He saw a lot of things that others could not see. The light penetrated the void, penetrated the earth, and found all the flaws and flaws in the deployment. Then, he pinched his hands into a seal and raised his hands again and again. Streaks of jade-colored light shot into every direction of the Yue Mountain Faction.
Every time the jade-colored light shot into a place, the light shield of the All-side Starlight Deployment grew a little brighter.
By the time Li Mu shot out 21 beams of moonlight in a row, the protective shield of the All-side Starlight Deployment had become dozens of times brighter than before. The Taoist patterns that had dimmed before also began to circulate in the protective shield. The originally dull and obscure deployment seemed to have come to life in an instant and was full of Spiritual Qi.
"Boom!"
At the same time, Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, finished preparing his ultimate move. He put his hands together in front of his chest. The translucent blood-colored light swirled. The horrifying Spiritual Qi in his hands combined and formed a blood-colored broadsword a thousand meters long. Star patterns sparkled and light swirled, carrying the power to destroy everything. With the momentum of his hands, the broadsword split the sky and directly chopped down at the All-side Starlight Deployment.
The ground within a radius of hundreds of miles around the main peak of the Yue Mountain began to shake violently.
Some of the precipitous and towering peaks were unable to withstand the shockwaves and directly collapsed with a loud bang.
Layers of energy clouds centered at the point of impact radiated in all directions. The area within a hundred meters of the main peak was instantly razed to the ground. Peaks big and small, as well as boulders, were directly flattened. The whole mountain range was turned into a flatland. Those martial artists who helped to attack the main gate did not even have time to escape. Swept by the shock waves of radiation, they were instantly burned into ashes like straws in a fire …
By the time the smoke and dust dissipated, the area within a hundred meters of the main peak of the Yue Mountain Faction had been flattened and covered with gravel.
But the All-side Starlight Deployment was still there. Although its color was much dimmer than before, it was still stable and firmly protected the core of the Yue Mountain Faction.
Li Mu landed in front of the main hall. With beads of sweat on his forehead, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's blocked."
"It's actually blocked."
"That works?"
Many disciples of the Yue Mountain Faction could hardly believe their eyes.
Xu Sheng opened his mouth wide. After a long while, he said, "Bro, you are also proficient in tactical deployments … Is there anything you can't do?"
Qiu Yin did not know what to say, either. "Third Brother, are you still a human?"
He once again confirmed that Li Mu really had the halo of miracles. No matter how dangerous the situation was, he seemed to be able to turn it around.
Bursts of cheers came from every corner of the Yue Mountain Faction.
Only those who had experienced despair, when they saw the All-side Starlight Deployment glowing again, could understand how precious it was to escape from a hopeless situation. Everyone in the Yue Mountain Faction was determined to fight to the death, but it did not mean that they did not want to survive.
Li Mu said, "I seem to have seen this tactical deployment somewhere. So, I hurriedly launched the Taoist pattern jade to make up for some of its shortcomings and increase its power. That's why I managed to block Yingshan Snow-eagle's strike. But don't be too optimistic. It's just an emergency. It won't last long. If you want this tactical deployment to give full play to its power, you need to rest and rearrange it."
In the sky.
Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, did not make another move after that strike.
His dead fish-like eyes were fixed on Li Mu, as if he was getting to know the young man all over again.
"Humph." Finally, he gave a cold laugh and said, "I'll remember you."
With that, Yingshan Snow-eagle flashed back to the Flying Whale Shuttle.
"Eunuch Yingshan …" The crown prince came over with a hint of respect and fear.
Previously, he only knew that the Head Eunuch was a trusted aide of his Imperial Father, and that he was extremely powerful. However, he never imagined that the Head Eunuch would be this powerful. The Head Eunuch was like a demonic god. With a single strike, the Head Eunuch exploded forth with a power that could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.
The other experts on the Flying Whale Shuttle were also in awe.
"Keep attacking and consume the energy of the tactical deployment. Although Li Mu has strengthened it, it's just a small part of it. I've already isolated the Spiritual Qi in this area. This tactical deployment won't last long." Yingshan Snow-eagle sat on a chair carried over by two young eunuchs.
His face grew paler and paler. He waved his hand in a feeble manner.
"In three days at most. As soon as the tactical deployment is broken, we'll break into the gate and kill every last one of them. Leave that Li Mu alive for me. I want to drink his blood." He still held a grudge against Li Mu.
