Before Liu Hanyan became Yuzhen Zi's disciple, and before Li Mu clung to the Empress' thigh, he was very frugal with his fights of magical power.
Not to mention that there was no Fu-lu at that time, even if there was, Li Mu would not bear to use it.
At that time, he was carrying out missions, and getting injured was a common thing. Occasionally, he would even be seriously injured.
But ever since Liu Hanyan entered Fu-lu School and Li Mu became the Empress' close vassal, the situation completely changed.
Fu-lu School naturally did not lack Fu-lu. Li Mu could not even imagine how rich the Empress' treasury was. Now, he had the capital to be extravagant.
If he was poor, he would use his tactics, and if he was rich, he would use his firepower to cover. In any case, if he ran out of Fu-lu, Liu Hanyan would give it to him. If his transcendent artifact was broken, the Empress would replace it for him. Li Mu was the woman behind Liu Hanyan, and the Empress was the woman behind him. With his own woman, there was no need to be polite.
Cui Ming was tightly bound by the Immortal-binding Chains, and his transcendence energy was restricted. When he heard Li Mu's words, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Fight of magical power? That damned Li Mu, he called throwing Fu-lu and launching a transcendent artifact sneak attack a fight of magical power?
From beginning to end, had he ever used any magical power?
On the other side, Emperor Song was entangled by two golden-armored soldiers. Although these two soldiers did not pose too much of a threat to him, they kept him firmly pinned down, preventing him from helping Cui Ming.
Seeing Cui Ming captured so quickly, Emperor Song secretly cursed Cui Ming's incompetence. He was actually captured alive by a cultivator one level lower than him, but he could not watch him die without doing anything.
With a low roar, his body turned into a cloud of ghost fog, enveloping the two golden-armored soldiers.
Golden light shone brightly in the black fog, and soon, Li Mu lost contact with the two golden-armored soldiers.
The black fog reformed into Emperor Song again, but his aura was now much weaker than before. It was not easy for him to defeat the two soldiers.
After dealing with the two soldiers, Emperor Song rushed straight towards Li Mu.
Li Mu casually threw out two Fu-lu, which turned into two golden-armored soldiers, blocking Emperor Song's figure.
Emperor Song was already a little stunned. Such a precious Fu-lu, ordinary cultivators would carefully keep it as a life-saving trump card at a critical moment. However, such a precious Fu-lu was like an ordinary yellow paper in Li Mu's hands. He threw it away as he pleased. Even as an enemy, Emperor Song felt his heart ache when he saw this …
Emperor Song was blocked by two more soldiers. Li Mu looked at Cui Ming on the ground, wondering if he should hand him over to the imperial court or kill him on the spot.
Meizong had spent twenty years to help Cui Ming to the position of Assistant Minister of the Secretariat. His position in Meizong must not be low, and he must know many secrets of the Demon Sect. It would be a waste to kill him just like that.
Cui Ming's body was tied up, and he could not move. When he raised his head, he saw the murderous intent on Li Mu's face.
A trace of ruthlessness appeared on his face. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood. His lips moved slightly, and no one knew what he was saying.
The next moment, a white light flashed on his body, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
The Immortal-binding Lock fell to the ground, and Cui Ming's body reappeared ten feet away. His face was as pale as paper, and his breath was extremely weak.
At this moment, a scream came from Shangguan Li's direction.
Under the siege of Shangguan Li and another expert internal guard, that Demon Sect spy's body was quickly destroyed. His Primordial Spirit was also captured and trapped in a magic treasure.
Shangguan Li and the middle-aged woman flew over and said, "Kill Cui Ming and leave his Primordial Spirit behind."
The two controlled their flying swords and attacked Cui Ming, while Li Mu stood aside and watched.
Cui Ming had just escaped from the Immortal-binding Lock with some kind of secret technique. He was already seriously injured, and was no match for the two of them.
Cui Ming looked at the two and roared, "You forced me to do this!"
He suddenly opened the folding fan in his hand, took out seven ribs, and quickly stabbed them into seven parts of his body. Then, he took out a piece of Fu-lu and swallowed it.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
All of this happened very quickly. After Cui Ming did all this, Shangguan Li and the expert internal guard's flying swords were already in front of him. One sword was aimed at his chest, the other at his throat.
When the two flying swords were only an inch away from Cui Ming's body, they both stopped.
Cui Ming stretched out his hands and grabbed the two flying swords.
The two flying swords struggled in his hands. Cui Ming clenched his fists, and the two flying swords directly shattered.
Poof!
Shangguan Li and the middle-aged woman were mentally connected to their magic treasures. When their magic treasures were destroyed, the two of them spat out a mouthful of blood. They stared at Cui Ming in shock.
To be able to crush their magic treasures with his bare hands, what cultivation level was Cui Ming at now?
Cui Ming threw the shattered flying swords on the ground and looked at them indifferently.
His aura quickly climbed from early-stage Creation Realm to mid-stage Creation Realm, and then to peak Creation Realm. It did not stop until he broke through a certain barrier. A powerful pressure suddenly descended.
Li Mu had felt this pressure from cultivators at the sixth level before.
Emperor Song noticed the change in Cui Ming. After being stunned for a moment, he forced the two golden-armored soldiers back and said respectfully, "Emperor Song, one of the Ten Kings of Hell under the Nether Hell Saint, greets the Heavenly Lord!"
Cui Ming glanced at him. There was only indifference and disdain in his eyes. It was obvious that he did not take him seriously.
Li Mu noticed that Emperor Song had addressed Cui Ming as "Heavenly Lord".
He carefully observed this person. As expected, although he still had Cui Ming's aura on him, his temperament and strength were poles apart from Cui Ming's.
Cui Ming had obviously used the Divine Power of Self-Sacrifice to make a powerful cultivator of the Demon Sect descend from a distance.
This powerful cultivator was at least at the seventh level. Only a seventh level cultivator could raise Cui Ming's strength so much from a distance.
Li Mu had inherited the memories of the Thousand Illusions Venerable Master, so he was not unfamiliar with the powerful cultivators of the Demon Sect.
There was only one seventh level cultivator of the Demon Sect who had the title of "Heavenly Lord".
That was the great elder of the Demon Sect's Mirage Sect, the "Heavenly Lord of Myriad Illusions", who held a prominent position in the Demon Sect's Ten Sects. This person's cultivation was at the seventh level, and his strength far surpassed that of the Thousand Illusions Venerable Master.
Of course, his actual body was very far away from here. This was only his avatar.
Li Mu ordered the two golden-armored soldiers to give up on Emperor Song and go straight for Cui Ming. He wanted to test his strength first.
Cui Ming, who was possessed by the Heavenly Lord of Myriad Illusions' avatar, glanced indifferently at the two golden-armored soldiers. He reached out his right hand and clenched it lightly.
The two golden-armored soldiers' bodies were restrained. They immediately collapsed and turned into specks of golden light.
This was the difference between the sixth level and the fifth level. This difference was almost impossible to make up for.
Shangguan Li's expression had already become very serious. After Cui Ming's aura soared to the sixth level, she knew that even though they had broken the array, they would not be able to escape today.
She stuffed the Fu-lu into Li Mu's hand and said, "We'll hold him back for a while. You take the opportunity to escape. Yunzhong County is no longer safe. Go to Baiyun Mountain as fast as you can …"
Li Mu asked, "Can you stop him?"
Shangguan Li said in a low voice, "It's enough for you to activate this talisman and escape."
Li Mu said helplessly, "Can you stop thinking about dying all the time?"
Shangguan Li looked at Cui Ming and said, "His current strength has already reached the sixth level. If it weren't for that Demon Sect spy, we would still have hope. But now … if you don't leave, we can only die together."
Li Mu said, "I still have a high-grade Heaven-tier Fu-lu. It can summon a sixth level gold-armored soldier."
Shangguan Li was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "Then hurry up and take it out!"
Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't bear to …"
This Fu-lu was his final trump card. It was too wasteful to use it on Cui Ming.
Li Mu did not believe that the Ten Thousand Illusions God was really so powerful. Just a divine clone from a distance was enough to let Cui Ming cross a major realm. Even if he did look like a sixth level, he was definitely not as strong as a true sixth level.
Shangguan Li looked at Li Mu. Her lips moved, but she suddenly did not know what to say.
At this moment of life and death, he could not bear to part with a Fu-lu?
She really wanted to burrow into Li Mu's heart and see what he was thinking …
Li Mu walked in front of Shangguan Li and said, "You two rest for a while first. I'll test him …"
Shangguan Li was at a loss. Cui Ming was already at the sixth level. No matter how powerful Li Mu's Dharma treasure was, it was still at the fourth level. The difference of two major realms could not be bridged …
However, in the next moment, she realized that Li Mu's aura was also continuing to rise.
Early-stage Divine Power, mid-stage Divine Power, peak-stage Divine Power, early-stage Creation Realm, mid-stage Creation Realm …
His aura finally stabilized at the mid-stage Creation Realm. It was even stronger than Shangguan Li's.
Shangguan Li looked at Li Mu in a daze. At this moment, there seemed to be an illusion overlapping on his body.
It was the illusion of a woman.
Li Mu formed a seal with his hands and chanted in his heart, "Heaven and Earth are limitless, borrow the power of the universe; the power is born from the heart and grows endlessly. Heavenly Lord Taiyi, as the law commands! "
The Qingxuan Sword turned into thousands of sword shadows and slashed toward Cui Ming.
Cui Ming raised his hands and a golden light shield appeared around his body.
The sword shadows fell on the light shield and shattered. When the last sword light fell, the light shield was also full of cracks and shattered.
Li Mu's hand seals changed again and he chanted, "Heaven and Earth are limitless, receive the order of the wind and thunder; the dragon fights in the wild, destroy all. Heavenly Lord Taiyi, as the law commands! "
When the last word "command" fell, wind and thunder suddenly erupted around Cui Ming. Green squall and purple lightning wrapped around Cui Ming's body. Emperor Song retreated. The lightning made one's scalp tingle. The green squall seemed to be able to suppress the soul and Primordial Spirit. Just by getting closer, his Primordial Spirit felt like it was going to be blown away.
He looked at Li Mu with a terrified gaze. It was no wonder that Cui Ming would fall into this person's hands. He looked like he was only at the fourth realm, but whether it was his Fu-lu Dharma treasure or his Abhijna Dao technique, they were all incredible. Even if a strong person at the peak of the fifth realm encountered him, they would not be at an advantage.
After a while, the wind and thunder dissipated. Cui Ming's clothes were tattered and his hair was disheveled. His body was charred and his aura was much weaker than before.
He looked at Li Mu with a murderous gaze and said eerily, "You've had enough fun. It's my turn now, right?"
In the blink of an eye, he pointed a finger at Li Mu. Li Mu's expression flickered as he said, "That's right.
In the void, the power of heaven and earth vibrated violently. A huge finger quickly formed and pointed at Li Mu and Shangguan Li.
The finger landed heavily, bringing with it a strong pressure. Li Mu and Shangguan Li were locked in place by this finger and could not escape.
Li Mu changed his hand seals again and silently recited the third sentence of the Demon Slayer Protective Incantation.
"Fu Hua Heavenly King, descend upon the One of Heaven; Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow, Yin Yang Mystical Art. Heavenly Lord Taiyi, command urgently! "
The Yin-Yang Twin Fish appeared above his head and formed a huge Taiji Diagram. When the finger landed on the Taiji Diagram, it did not cause any ripples and was directly swallowed by the Taiji Diagram.
"Heavenly Net, Earth Yamaraja; Unsheathed Sword of Wisdom, Slay Demons and Spirits. Heavenly Lord Taiyi, command urgently! " Li Mu changed his hand seals for the last time. The thick power of heaven and earth condensed into an illusory sword in front of him.
After this sword appeared, it instantly disappeared and pierced through Cui Ming's chest at an incomprehensible speed.
Emperor Song's face was extremely pale. That illusory sword made him feel extreme fear from the bottom of his heart.
He was sure that if this sword pierced through his body, only the Eight Kings of Hell would be left under the Nether Hell Saint.
After being pierced by the illusory sword, Cui Ming's body did not change much.
However, his aura dropped from the early stage of the Sixth Realm to the Fifth Realm.
At the same time, the aura on his body also disappeared.
Li Mu could no longer feel the aura of the Lord of Illusions. He clapped his hands and looked at Cui Ming, who was struggling to get up.
"That's it?"
