Semua Bab The Divine Martial Stars: Bab 281 - Bab 290

The three Celestial Beings condensed the power of heaven and earth for that battle, and the evil iris shield isolated the outside world, so that Spiritual Qi of the battlefield was far richer than in some fairyland. As such, given that the tactical deployment set by Li Mu absorbed dozens of times the degree of Spiritual Qi, its defense power was naturally far stronger than usual. Moreover, as the laws of heaven and earth were running, the Taoist tactical deployment could be greatly benefited from it. Li Mu laughed. He walked quickly around the main altar hall. Twenty-four imposing flying knives, like engraved pens, repeatedly and flashily made engravings on the stone walls and stone pillars of the main hall, producing mysterious runes of Taoist magic arts, which were glistening as soon as they were being made and soon became invisible like dried water marks. Those present were grateful to Li Mu for his strengtheni

Thud! The second prince was tossed to the ground in front of the hall. Li Mu rubbed his hands and opened his mouth wide to swallow that colorless sacred light, sending it to the Mud-pill Palace for further nurturing. "Ah? He returned to his original form?" Scrutinizing with his Third Eye, Li Mu was astounded to find that the evil force that was infused into the second prince had disappeared completely, and his strength had declined to the previous level. At that moment, his internal qi was running chaotically inside him. Also, he was grievously injured—few of his bones were unbroken, all his meridians damaged, his skin too ruddy and chapped like a cracked bark blotched with blood... "His pretty face is destroyed, isn't it?" Yet, the evil force flowing inside him did take Li Mu by surprise. "So that evil force of the Demonic Cloud Sheep is not a perpetual thing, is it?" Li

The letter was from Xu Sheng. The news it brought was not pleasant. Due to the death of the second prince, the procedure of recommending Li Mu to be appointed Grand Chancellor of the Supervisory Department in the northwestern region was terminated right before it was about to be approved by the Chang'an government, when half of the procedure had been done. At the moment, it seemed that the deal was off the table. In the letter, Xu Sheng extended his apologies to Li Mu. Aside from that, Xu Sheng also alluded to the chaotic political state in Qin City after the second prince had died. All the political forces had burst into an uproar. The delicate balance was broken. It could be said that the death of the second prince had produced a series of ripple effects. Various forces started to bare their fangs. But since the emperor of the Western Qin was in a closed-door training to cure his injuries, nobody knew what to do without a lea

The blind Taoist sensed the contempt and disdain in Li Mu's tone. He snorted and replied, "No comment." At that answer, Li Mu was amused. "Fu*k it! You put on airs even before I ruffle your feathers!" With a stir of his mind, the Samsara Knife under his feet vibrated. A flash of broadsword light went off, which pierced the many-layered protective shields covering the blind Taoist in a trice but halted only a fraction of an inch away from his throat. The chilling broadsword qi surged, and it could easily cut open the blind Taoist's skin if it moved a little bit forward. "I don't have much patience." Li Mu began, irritated. "On that day, you took my attendant away and had her disappear. I haven't settled that account with you. So, even if I kill you now, it will just be a minor punishment." The blind Taoist gave a cold laugh and snapped, "You colluded with the demon races. You're a scumbag of mankind.

He remembered that although Li Mu had resisted the siege of those great Celestial Beings that day, it was because of the Sky-stabilizing Mirror that repressed the Yuan qi of heaven and earth, rendering Celestial Beings unable to perform their skills. At that time, Li Mu's natural qi had only been at half a level. Zhao Yu was a very confident and conceited person. Therefore, in his view, given that he had defeated Meng Wu and Chu Nantian, two Natural Experts, with his cultivation inferior to a Natural Expert's, he was no worse than Li Mu. After all, even if a Natural Expert didn't mobilize the Yuan qi from heaven and earth, he could give it into full play. His fight was more convincing. Therefore, although he was shocked by Li Mu's performance that day, he would never feel ashamed of his inferiority. He was confidant of his talent and potential. As long as he had time and opportunities, he believed that he could definitely catch up with Li Mu
