Tycoon War God

Chapter 780 Ambush from All Sides!

In the distance, Shangguan Shiming was utterly dumbfounded by the scene before her. The Foundation Establishment Immortals from the Ancient Land Sects weren’t attacking their enemy, Lin Mu, but had instead targeted Peach Blossom Eyed Qing Que.

To Shangguan Shiming, this was quite inconceivable, but she quickly realized the reason. They don’t want another exiled immortal of the extreme realm to emerge from the Ancient Land Sects!

Even so, her expression remained odd. If these people knew that Qing Que didn’t belong to any sect and had no desire to participate in their conflicts, what would they think?

Lin Mu landed gently beside Shangguan Shiming. "Do you have a qin?" he asked indifferently.

Shangguan Shiming was momentarily startled, then hurriedly replied, "Yes!" Without waiting for his instruction, she took an ancient qin from her Space Ring, along with a table, and set everything up properly.

"What piece would you like to hear, sir?" Shangguan Shiming asked with a smile, feeling a profound sense of security at his side. To still have the mood for music in a situation like this... He is truly worthy of the name Lin Wudi.

"A worldly piece. ’Ambush from Ten Sides.’"

’Ambush from Ten Sides’ was an extremely famous piece, and Shangguan Shiming, a woman who had traveled the world, was proficient in it. She adjusted her sleeves, putting the thirteen Foundation Establishment Immortals besieging an exiled immortal of the extreme realm from her mind. Forgetting the enemies yet to arrive, she immersed herself completely in the music. At the Tenth Layer of Qi Cultivation, she used the True Qi from her Cultivation Technique to project the sound of the qin far and wide. The melody soared, seeming to originate from beyond the nine heavens.

PFFT!

Upon hearing the music, Peach Blossom Eyed Qing Que faltered. A Foundation Establishment Immortal’s Flying Sword grazed his shoulder, nearly severing his arm.

"Lin Wudi, you’re shameless! I am your opponent! If you have any guts, come and fight me!"

Qing Que managed only that one shout before the relentless assault of the thirteen Foundation Establishment Immortals overwhelmed him, leaving him no breath to speak further. No matter how strong an exiled immortal of the extreme realm in the Qi Cultivation Realm was, he could not withstand the combined attack of thirteen Foundation Establishment Immortals. Qing Que struggled to defend himself, his life hanging by a thread.

At that moment, Lin Mu raised a hand and pointed toward an empty patch of the void.

PFFT!

Blood sprayed as a figure materialized from thin air, its head already pierced through.

"Kill!"

Six Foundation Establishment Immortals appeared out of thin air and charged Lin Mu. More had arrived from the Ancient Land Sects! These six, hailing from two different sects, had joined forces to assassinate Lin Wudi!

"One Step, Rivers Shatter!"

Lin Mu took a single step forward. With a deafening roar, a terrifying shockwave emanated from the tip of his foot. The ground collapsed and Spiritual Energy surged violently. The residual shockwaves vibrated through the air like blasts of fire, striking the six approaching Foundation Establishment Immortals head-on and causing their bodies to stagger.

Before they could recover, Lin Mu took his second step. "Terrify Ghosts and Gods with the Second Step!"

Ghostly howls filled the air as tremors shook heaven and earth. The six Foundation Establishment Immortals heard what sounded like the agonizing wails of ghosts right beside their ears. The terrifying sound was like a festering sore, clinging to them, impossible to evade. The weakest of the immortals felt his Divine Sense begin to scatter. An instant later, a dark fluid began to leak from his seven orifices. The sound had shattered his skull, and his brain matter was oozing out.

His third step. "Third Step: Heaven and Earth Change!"

The world itself seemed to change. The colors of heaven and earth inverted, the sun and moon appeared to switch places, Spiritual Energy descended into chaos, and space itself fractured. For a moment, the area within several hundred meters transformed into a hellish, otherworldly dimension. The remaining five Foundation Establishment Immortals completely lost control of their Spiritual Energy. With just three steps, Lin Mu had left one of them dead and the other five gravely injured.

"The Third of the Twelve Forms of Slaying Gods and Demons and Punishing Immortals! Deicide Palm!"

A Sky-supporting Giant Palm materialized from the void, shrouding the heavens and the earth in darkness as the massive palm print descended from the sky. It felt as if an entire world were crashing down, making escape impossible.

The five Foundation Establishment Immortals tried to resist, but they were still affected by the Third Step: Heaven and Earth Change and were incapable of unleashing their full power.

"No!" one of them wailed, blood streaming from his seven orifices as he activated a Forbidden Technique. He transformed into a streak of blood light, attempting to escape the Deicide Palm’s range.

The two profound, ancient characters forming the name of the technique—Godslaying—seemed to possess a divine power of their own. Suppression. Absolute suppression! The blood light should have been blindingly fast, but under the power of ’Godslaying’, its speed became agonizingly slow. After a full second, it had moved only a few meters.

BOOM!

The Deicide Palm struck.

CRACK!

The Magic Artifacts of the Foundation Establishment Immortals shattered and their protective shields collapsed. In the next instant, their bones broke and their flesh dissolved. With a single palm strike, all five were obliterated, including the one who had activated a Forbidden Technique and turned into blood light. In less than two breaths, with three steps and one palm, Lin Mu had slain six Foundation Establishment Immortals.

The terrifying combat power Lin Mu displayed shocked everyone. The thirteen Foundation Establishment Immortals who were still besieging Qing Que felt a chill run down their spines, a cold dread telling them they had made a terrible mistake.

Even Peach Blossom Sword Qing Que stared in confusion. Four moves to kill six Immortals... No, including the one who was hiding in the void, it was five moves to kill seven Immortals! The strength of this secular exiled immortal... it’s terrifying!

"The secular world! So this is the secular world!" Qing Que laughed loudly as a crimson light shot from his eyes once again.

"Watch out! Extreme Realm Consciousness! Dodge!"

The Foundation Establishment Immortals tried to evade, but it was too late. The crimson light, tinged with a hint of Peach Blossom Sword Qi, pierced into one of them. The man’s gaze immediately went vacant, and he fell from the sky like a wooden post.

WHOOSH!

The crimson light exited the corpse and shot toward another victim. The target panicked, desperately raising his Magic Artifacts, talismans, and protective shields. But the Extreme Realm Consciousness was like an ethereal force, passing through the shields with ease. Magic Artifacts and talismans proved equally useless. After a flash of red in his eyes, his corpse also fell silently from the sky. In the blink of an eye, two more were slain. This was the lethal power of an exiled immortal of the extreme realm.

BANG!

The third target finally managed to block the crimson light with a Magic Artifact.

"Hmph!" Peach Blossom Eyed Qing Que grunted, somewhat dissatisfied that a single use of his Extreme Realm Consciousness had only killed two people.

"Kill!"

The ten remaining Foundation Establishment Immortals fought with renewed frenzy, activating their own Forbidden Techniques. They were willing to destroy their own cultivation foundations if it meant killing Qing Que.

In the wilderness, Shangguan Shiming’s qin music suddenly faltered. A piercing flute melody arose from the void, a sound that seemed to traverse space itself to enter everyone’s minds.

"The Palace of Heavenly Sound! Third among the Ten Great Sects!" Shangguan Shiming gritted her teeth, fresh blood trickling from her ears as she struggled against the sound. The Palace of Heavenly Sound was the most peculiar of all the Ancient Land Sects. Throughout its history, the sect had never produced an exiled immortal of the extreme realm, yet it had firmly secured its third-place ranking by relying on bizarre sonic attacks. Even the great Foundation Establishment exiled immortal from the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion two thousand years ago had been wary of them. Compared to the True Qi attacks of other sects, the sonic attacks from the Palace of Heavenly Sound were untraceable and impossible to guard against. Even protective shields were useless against them. They worked on a similar principle to Extreme Realm Consciousness, though they lacked its terrifying instant-kill ability.

Shangguan Shiming had never expected that the Palace of Heavenly Sound, which usually abstained from the conflicts of the Ancient Land, would move against Lin Mu so swiftly.

When the sonic waves reached Lin Mu’s ears, his expression soured. "Spoiling the mood."

He snorted coldly. That single snort unleashed a sonic wave of its own, one that roared like a golden Gigantic Dragon. It tore through the void and swept toward the source of the flute music, baring its claws and fangs as it charged forward.

CLANG!

From the void above, the sound of a pipa resonated, harmonizing with the flute. Together, they transformed into waves of bizarre sonic energy, rushing like bone-scraping steel blades to meet Lin Mu’s draconic roar.
