Li Mu floated in the air with his hands behind his back as he looked at the Nether Hell Saint from afar.
After a moment of shock, the Nether Hell Saint quickly regained his senses and said, "Qian Huan's soul lamp has been extinguished, and his soul has already dispersed. You can't be Qian Huan. You have obtained his memories!"
The Nether Hell Saint wasn't as gullible as Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. After being exposed, Li Mu decisively took out the mid-grade Heaven-tier Golden Armor Talisman. After the Fu-lu burned, it condensed into a golden-armored figure that emitted a Sixth Realm aura.
With a thought from Li Mu, the Golden Armor Talisman flew towards the Nether Hell Saint with a huge sword.
At the same time, Li Mu also released the flying boat and shot into the distance.
The Nether Hell Saint wanted to give chase but was blocked by the Golden Armored Divine Soldier. The Nether Hell Saint watched Li Mu disappear from his sight from afar. He reached out his hand and condensed a black soul sword in his hand. He then clashed with the Golden Armored Divine Soldier's golden giant sword.
On the flying boat, Li Mu used all his strength to activate this treasure and quickly fled forward.
Even though he was no longer who he used to be, a powerhouse of the sixth level was still an insurmountable mountain to him.
The Nether Hell Saint's strength was considered average among the Sixth Realm experts. That Golden Armor Talisman wasn't a true Sixth Realm expert, and the spiritual power in the Fu-lu was limited. It couldn't stop him for long.
Along the way, Li Mu met many people from the Demon Dao, but he didn't expect that even the Sixth Realm Nether Hell Saint, a Grand Elder of a sect, would be summoned.
With his current strength, he could handle anyone below the Sixth Realm. In order to hone his combat ability, Li Mu didn't send a message to White Cloud Mountain. Along the way, he was more proficient in both divine arts and the use of the Fu-lu.
But when the Nether Hell Saint attacked, he couldn't handle it alone.
Li Mu steered the flying boat and flew forward at full speed for about an hour. At a certain point, he sensed another powerful aura behind him.
"You can't escape …"
The Nether Nether Saint's sinister voice sounded from behind.
As soon as he said that, a long spear condensed from black Qi shot out from behind. It seemed to be constantly traversing space. It was faster than the flying boat, heading straight for Li Mu.
Li Mu whistled, and a giant bell instantly enveloped his body.
Dong!
The black Qi spear smashed into the giant bell, creating a deafening sound. The spear collapsed, and the surrounding 300 meters was filled with sand and stones. Trees were uprooted, and a huge shockwave continued to spread out.
Li Mu was not affected at all within the Dao bell, but the Nether Hell Saint was already approaching.
The Nether Hell Saint was outside the bell and could only see the giant bell. He couldn't see the situation inside the bell.
His face was filled with surprise. The spear he threw seemed casual, but it was actually his full strength attack. Everything within 1,000 feet of him was turned into ruins by the recoil, but the bell was unharmed …
He condensed another soul sword in his hand and slashed at the Dao Bell.
Dong!
Another deafening sound rang out. The soul sword in the Nether Hell Saint's hand dissipated, and his body was also forced back a few steps.
The defense of the bell was beyond imagination. The Nether Hell Saint retreated 30 meters, and countless black Qi gushed out from his body. The black Qi condensed into several giant pythons, which twisted their bodies and crashed into the giant bell.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The giant pythons dissipated when they crashed into the bell, but the giant bell remained in its original position, undamaged.
Lord Nether Hell's expression darkened, and he tried to attack it several more times, but it was still to no avail. The sturdiness of this bell was beyond his imagination. Even with his Sixth Realm power, he was actually unable to do anything to it. The recoil from the bell caused his own aura to become unstable instead...
He looked at the bell again and finally discovered something. His body transformed into a ball of black Qi and completely enveloped the bell.
Li Mu stood inside the bell and observed the Nether Hell Saint's every move.
The Nether Hell Saint's black Qi completely enveloped the Dao Bell. Li Mu didn't know what the Nether Hell Saint was doing, but in the next moment, his expression changed.
Wisps of black Qi were seeping in from the cracks on the Dao Bell.
Li Mu didn't hesitate to throw out that set of array talismans again. The 18 golden-armored soldiers appeared again and formed a talisman array, trapping the Dao Bell and the black Qi in it.
One of the soldiers slashed at the black Qi with his giant golden sword.
Another soldier formed hand seals with both hands, and thunder exploded in the black Qi.
As for the other two soldiers, one transformed into a Frost Giant, and the other into a Flame Giant. They pounced at the black Qi …
…
The 18 soldiers each used their own abilities. The black Qi rolled, and the Nether Hell Saint appeared again. He had two soul swords in his hands, and one of them shattered the giant golden sword of the soldier. After withstanding several thunderbolts, the Nether Hell Saint only had an unstable aura. He swung the other sword, and the Frost Giant and the Flame Giant immediately collapsed.
When the two soldiers reformed again, their bodies were much dimmer.
The Great Heavenly Array could trap a cultivator who had just entered the Sixth Realm, but it was still difficult to trap a long-established expert like the Nether Hell Saint. Moreover, Li Mu could see from the Dao Bell that the Nether Hell Saint seemed to be very effective against these Divine Soldiers that didn't have physical bodies.
In less than 15 minutes, this talisman array would run out of Spiritual Power and dissipate.
At this moment, Li Mu's Fu-lu was almost used up. He had used all his trump cards, and he had no other choice but to hide in the Dao Bell.
Li Mu stretched out his hand, and a jade talisman appeared in his palm.
The Empress had given it to him before he left the Divine Capital. The Empress didn't tell Li Mu what the talisman was for. She only told him that he could crush the talisman in an emergency.
Boom!
At this moment, a loud sound came from outside the Dao Bell.
Li Mu looked outside the Dao Bell and realized that the Nether Hell Saint had already broken the talisman array. It was much faster than he had expected.
The Nether Hell Saint floated in front of the Dao Bell and sized it up. He said, "This Dao Bell is a good treasure, but it's a pity that it's incomplete."
The Dao Bell buzzed and slammed toward the Nether Hell Saint.
The Nether Hell Saint disappeared, and the Dao Bell's attack missed.
When the Nether Hell Saint appeared again, he was already on top of the Dao Bell. He pressed his palm down, and the Dao Bell was pressed to the ground.
Li Mu looked up and crushed the jade talisman in his hand without hesitation.
The jade talisman shattered, and it seemed like nothing had happened.
However, the Nether Hell Saint's expression changed. He immediately retreated a few hundred feet and looked in Li Mu's direction with vigilance.
The space in front of the Dao Bell fluctuated, and a figure stepped out of the void.
"Your Majesty!"
"The Empress of the Great Zhou!"
...
The voices of Li Mu and the Nether Hell Saint could be heard. One was surprised, while the other was frightened.
However, the latter's fear quickly turned into calmness. The Nether Hell Saint looked at the illusory figure of the woman in front of him and heaved a sigh of relief. He said, "So it's just a Divine Clone. If your true body came, I would naturally retreat. However, a mere Divine Clone that has just reached the Sixth Stage of cultivation, what can you do to me?"
The Empress looked at him indifferently and said, "You are not worthy for me to come personally."
The Nether Hell Saint reached into his chest and took out a pair of ghastly hook-shaped weapons. He smiled at the Empress and said, "I have long wanted to see what the Empress of the Great Zhou is capable of …"
As he spoke, his figure had already disappeared from where he stood.
Li Mu's mind moved, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. He threw the Qingxuan Sword forward and said, "Your Majesty, take this!"
The Empress stretched out her hand, and the Qingxuan Sword flew into her hand. She casually swung her sword, and the Nether Hell Saint's hooks appeared from the void and collided with the Qingxuan Sword. The ground within a radius of several hundred feet immediately collapsed …
Li Mu hid in the Dao Bell and could not see the two figures. He could only feel waves of powerful magic power fluctuations.
His surroundings were already in a mess because of the aftermath of the battle. He was in the center of the battle between two Sixth Stage cultivators. If it were not for the protection of the Dao Bell, he would have been severely injured even if he did not die.
With Li Mu's cultivation, he could not even see the two figures clearly. Naturally, he did not know who had the upper hand.
However, the Nether Hell Saint was the true body, and the Empress was only a Divine Clone. A Divine Clone could not exist for long. Li Mu's mind spun rapidly. He decisively walked out of the Dao Bell and shouted, "Your Majesty, enter my body!"
In the void, a figure paused for an instant. Then, without hesitation, it returned and entered Li Mu's body.
Li Mu's aura instantly surged. From the Divine Arts Realm, he quickly broke through the Creation Realm and finally gave off the aura of the early stage of Dongxuan.
The Nether Hell Saint floated high in the sky and looked down at Li Mu.
Although the aura on his body was similar to the Empress of Great Zhou's Divine Clone, the current Li Mu gave him an extremely dangerous feeling …
Li Mu raised his head and looked at the Nether Hell Saint. He cracked his knuckles and said, "It's my turn …"
…
Youdu's Ghost Region.
It was a place that was forever shrouded in darkness and could not see the sun.
In a palace that was filled with a ghostly aura, a weak light shone.
In front of the palace, two rows of ghostly blue lights flickered with a strange light.
There were two rows of lights. The first row only had one light, and the second row had seven lights. That one light was brighter than the other seven lights combined.
Two ghostly figures stood in front of the palace and conversed softly.
"His Highness Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon is dead. His Highness Emperor Song is dead. His Highness King Wuguan is also dead …"
"There are only seven Yama Kings of the Ten Halls left under the Saint. I wonder who will replace them in the future."
"When the Saint returns, he will probably fly into a rage again. I hope it won't affect us …"
The two ghostly figures conversed softly and turned back to look at the light that was burning the brightest. Fear appeared on their faces.
In the next moment, the fear on their faces turned into astonishment.
The light that was burning peacefully suddenly started to shake violently.
"This …"
"What happened?"
"Could it be that the Saint is fighting with someone?"
"The Saint might have met a Sixth Realm strong practitioner of the righteous path …"
The two ghostly figures' faces were filled with fear as they quickly ran into the palace. However, before they could reach the front of the palace, the light that was burning the brightest in the first row suddenly extinguished after shaking violently for a while!
The two ghostly figures fell to the ground. Their faces were filled with astonishment, and their voices were filled with boundless fear. "The Saint, the Saint has fallen!"
