Chapter 792: Battle, Zhuge Jingyun!
From the very moment the Zilian Immortal first made her move and revealed her Zilian Sword Qi, Lin Mu had sensed something! He had thought Zilian and Red Lotus were merely fellow disciples, sisters of the same Sect. He never expected them to be actual blood sisters!
Killing intent boiled in Lin Mu’s eyes. The Red Lotus Sword Immortal had attacked the Qin Family and attempted to capture Qin Luoli. She deserved to die! Today, he would return the favor in kind. Since Red Lotus dared to involve his family and strike at his wife, he would slay the kin of the Red Lotus Sword Immortal!
"Slaying Gods, Demons, and Punishing Immortals: The Twelve Forms!"
"Deicide Fist!"
Lin Mu hurled his fist forward. The heavens and earth changed color and the void trembled as streaks of Internal Energy converged, outlining a colossal fist imprint. Atop the imprint, two massive, ancient seal characters shone brilliantly!
"Godslaying!"
An unrivaled force instantly shattered the Zilian Sword Qi. Struck by the Deicide Fist, the Zilian Sword let out a mournful cry as it cracked and splintered! The Zilian Immortal’s famed Magic Artifact couldn’t hold for even a second under the Deicide Fist! He had shattered a Magic Artifact with his bare body!
He’s gotten stronger again! Shangguan Shiming faintly sensed. Since entering the Ancient Land, Lin Mu’s strength had been soaring. In the first battle against Zhuge Jing, he still had to shatter the mirror world to capture him. In the second, when annihilating the Foundation Building Immortals of the Four Seas Gate, he killed them with a casual flick! By the third battle with the Peach Blossom Sword Demon Qing Que, he had already surpassed the combat power of the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Level, reaching a realm beyond her comprehension! Now, facing the Zilian Immortal, a single punch shattered her Magic Artifact! Lin Mu’s combat power had actually overwhelmed the Zilian Immortal, who had reached Foundation Establishment using a Genius Cultivation Method!
Impossible! The Zilian Immortal’s face paled with shock. Countless purple lotuses exploded around her, frantically absorbing Spiritual Energy in an attempt to withstand Lin Mu’s Deicide Fist!
It was futile!
Lin Mu’s Deicide Fist sealed, suppressed, and slew all. The Zilian Immortal’s resistance was as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
BANG!
With just one punch, the Zilian Immortal was sent flying seventy to eighty meters away, smashing a corner of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion’s durable life-and-death arena! The Zilian Immortal spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her spirit flagging and her Divine Sense scattering. She could barely climb to her feet!
A relative of Red Lotus. She deserves to die!
With a blur of movement, Lin Mu appeared beside the Zilian Immortal, his foot aiming for her neck! The Zilian Immortal’s beautiful eyes widened in horror. She let out a ferocious hiss as her body rapidly thinned and her aura suddenly surged! She had activated a life-for-life Forbidden Technique!
"Lin Wudi, you’ve destroyed my future! I’ll kill you!"
Sword Qi surged around the Zilian Immortal’s body! The purple Sword Qi riddled the arena with holes. But it was no use!
"One Step, Rivers Shatter!"
The Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps, this time landing directly on the Zilian Immortal’s neck!
CRACK!
Her neck was crushed under his foot. A protective shield? Magic treasures? A Protective Body Technique? All were useless before the Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps! A single stomp crushed her into a pulp of mangled flesh and bone.
BOOM!
Lin Mu’s foot stomped down on the arena floor, creating a deep crater over ten meters in diameter! As for the Zilian Immortal, her head was now severed from her body. She was deader than dead!
The greatest Sword Immortal of the Ancient Land! The most beautiful woman of the Sect!
Dead. Just like that!
Lin Mu didn’t even blink as he ruthlessly crushed the flower.
Shangguan Shiming subconsciously touched her own neck. If I hadn’t sided with Lin Mu during the battle at Changbai Mountain’s Heavenly Lake, perhaps this would have been my fate...
The Zilian Immortal, the top Sword Immortal who used a Genius Cultivation Method to reach the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage Peak from the Eleventh Level of Qi Cultivation and could fight against an ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator, was trampled to death by Lin Mu! This was an ending no one had anticipated.
Even Zhuge Jingyun, the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion, stared at Lin Mu in shock! To defeat a Foundation Building Immortal in two moves... this Lin Wudi is no Proud Son of Heaven from the secular world. He’s more like an exiled immortal of the extreme realm, and perhaps even they aren’t this strong!
"Lin Wudi!" Zhuge Jingyun’s expression shifted as he looked at Lin Mu and spoke coldly, "You are Shangguan Shiming’s Dao Protector. I can give you a chance. Join my Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion. I can act on behalf of the Divine Calculator Great Ancestor and take you as my disciple!"
Nan Bufan’s expression changed slightly as he said, "Lin Wudi, this is a tremendous opportunity! Why haven’t you paid your respects yet?!"
"How ridiculous. A mere Core Formation cultivator is worthy of being my master? Your repeated offers... are you trying to humiliate me?!" Lin Mu’s gaze shot like lightning toward Zhuge Jingyun!
"Lin Wudi, you...!"
Impatience finally showed on Zhuge Jingyun’s face. Such a talented exiled immortal of the extreme realm, yet so stubborn and unruly, making an enemy of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion. Once he grows stronger, he will surely become a great enemy of the Pavilion! Since he is so unappreciative, then I’ll just kill him!
With that thought, Zhuge Jingyun attacked. His left hand turned golden as he swiped a claw toward Lin Mu! The move resembled the Hand of God, eclipsing the sky. Its pressure could veil the sun and moon! The onlooking Qi Refinement Realm disciples paled and stumbled backward just from facing it. Only the Proud Sons of Heaven, like Juling Yin, could barely remain standing. A single move from a Foundation Establishment Peak expert could change the color of heaven and earth, nearly suppressing the entire region. This was the might of the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion!
"Well done!"
Ever since stepping into the Ancient Land, Lin Mu had been quite disappointed with the Foundation Building Immortals of the Ancient Land Sects. He found them arrogant, conceited, and disdainful, calling themselves Immortals despite their mediocre abilities. Now, finally, a worthy opponent had appeared! Lin Mu’s fighting spirit boiled as he threw a punch!
BOOM!
The Deicide Fist collided with Zhuge Jingyun’s giant golden palm. In that instant, the air exploded, Spiritual Energy erupted, and countless streams of Internal Energy ripped through the surroundings. The Qi Refinement Realm disciples who were too close to the life-and-death arena coughed up blood violently. Countless people were pierced by the aftershocks, left on the brink of death! A few unlucky souls were even hit in the head, becoming collateral damage in the fray!
BOOM!
The Deicide Fist and the golden palm clashed and dissipated. Astonishingly, it ended in a stalemate.
Lin Mu’s body trembled, a flicker of joy passing through his eyes. He could feel that the unbreakable barrier within him had loosened slightly! Foundation Establishment is within reach!
"Hahahaha!" Lin Mu threw his head back and laughed, his fighting spirit erupting and sweeping out in all directions. "Take this!"
"Slaying Gods, Demons, and Punishing Immortals: The Twelve Forms!"
"Demonslaying Hand!"
Lin Mu unleashed a palm strike. Black Internal Energy slowly took shape in his hand, forming a giant palm imprint. Atop the imprint were two ancient seal characters: Demon Slayer! An aura of suppression, annihilation, obliteration, and slaughter manifested within the Demonslaying Hand as it tore through the void toward Zhuge Jingyun.
Below the stage, Shangguan Shiming, who had retreated to a safe distance, wore a shocked expression! Demon Slayer! It’s Demon Slayer again! The last time Demon Slayer appeared, it was for the Peach Blossom Sword Demon Qing Que, who practiced his sword by slaughtering innocent commoners! This time, for Demon Slayer to reappear... could it be that the Pavilion Master...
A chill ran down Shangguan Shiming’s spine. If Zhuge Jingyun is a great demon like the Peach Blossom Sword Demon Qing Que... then isn’t the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion a Demon Cave?! Even though she had already left the Sect, Shangguan Shiming was still utterly shocked!
The others didn’t understand the implications, thinking this was just one of Lin Wudi’s special Dao Arts.
"Yin Yang!" Zhuge Jingyun shouted lightly.
Beneath his feet, the Tai Chi pattern rose once again. Spiritual Energy flowed, and streaks of Internal Energy split into two groups, each one gathering. One group was transparent and crystal clear! The other was pitch-black, like ink-colored jade! Black and white intertwined. As a profound mystery descended from heaven and earth, everyone felt the True Qi in their bodies tremble and separate
