The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 609 Pummeling Them into a Pulp

“Crazy! He’s gone crazy!”

When Second Senior Fellow Apprentice saw this, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

“Look at the current situation! You should protect yourself first, shouldn’t you? Let the General Realm masters sort out their problems by themselves! Why do you have to risk your neck? You really don’t seem to value your life!”

However, as soon as Li Mu jumped up, a stream of unexpected killing intent stole over.

Suddenly, several streaks of silver light silently shot out from the crowd in the distance.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu failed to notice them soon enough.

The fine beams of silver light were shaped like needles, which appeared to be tenuous as hair. However, when they hit Li Mu, waves of incredibly destructive energy exploded. The bombardment directly sent Li Mu, who was in the air, flying backward, hitting the buildings in the distance. Li Mu left human-shaped holes in one building after another. Clouds of dust rose in his wake.

Exclamations of various emotions erupted.

A tall, thin, horse-faced man that no one had noticed before leaped up and went after Li Mu who was zooming across the air, leaving behind a series of hearty laughter.

“Haha, I hit him. Once hit by my Immortal-annihilating Needle, even an immortal could hardly survive... I, the Heavenly Murderous Star, will definitely get the bounty.”

That man was an interstellar bounty hunter.

He had hidden in the crowd and concealed his aura. At the last moment, he unexpectedly launched an attack and successfully caught Li Mu off guard.

Almost at the same time, dozens of figures, who reacted as rapidly as light, madly hurtled after Li Mu, who had been sent flying backward.

“Hahaha, the bounty is yours? That’s not necessarily true.”

“Whoever chops off Li Mu’s head first will get the reward!”

“It’s all up to our abilities. It’s first come first serve.”

They were all interstellar bounty hunters.

Seeing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of them, these people’s eyes turned all red with greed. At this moment, none of them hesitated to take action.

No one had expected that Li Mu, who had murdered so many powerful figures, would suddenly fall victim to such a petty sneak attack.

Indeed, the means of the interstellar bounty hunters were exceedingly insidious and horrible.

But this was not really a huge surprise.

In the universe, if one was targeted by the interstellar bounty hunters who were as hard to shake off as locusts and cannibal ants, no matter how powerful one was, one would find it hard to fend off the bounty hunters’ never-ending assassinating techniques. No one could constantly be on alert. If one was not careful for a second, he might make a mistake that he would regret for the rest of his life.

Even some giants with higher strength and more impressive background than Li Mu’s had died in the hands of the interstellar bounty hunters.

“D*mn it, I got him first! Whoever dares to take my reward will get killed!” Chi Fei the Heavenly Murderous Star roared aggrievedly.

Among those on the wanted list of the interstellar bounty hunters, Li Mu had become the most desired target recently. Li Mu was relatively weak and had no background. Moreover, the bounty set for him was very appealing. Hunting him was obviously a fail-safe and highly profitable business. Therefore, many bounty hunters had rushed here.

More and more figures darted out.

The bounty hunters seemed to have gone mad.

Driven by the tantalizing huge benefits, even though they already saw Li Mu punch those in the Soldier Realm to death one after another, they all took action fearlessly. Moreover, since Li Mu had already been hit by the Immortal-annihilating Needles cast by Chi Fei the Heavenly Murderous Star, this was the perfect time to launch attacks.

“Rumble!”

All of a sudden, the building in front of them exploded.

“A bunch of maggots.”

Li Mu emerged behind the overwhelming smoke and dust. His body turned out to be unscathed.

Without hesitation, Li Mu threw a punch at the interstellar bounty hunter in the early stage of the Soldier Realm who had outstripped the rest of the bounty hunters. That punch landed on the bounty hunter when he was still 20 meters away from Li Mu and turned him into a bloody mess, which quickly scattered in the void.

“What?”

Chi Fei the Heavenly Murderous Star could hardly believe his eyes.

“I saw my Immortal-annihilating Needles hit you. Even if you were at the advanced level of the Soldier Realm, once you were hit, you would definitely...” He stared at Li Mu, trying to find a sign showing that Li Mu was at the end of his rope.

“What a cheap trick!” Li Mu raised his hand and said, “You can have these back.”

Several beams of silver light dashed out of his hand.

“Splatter, splatter!”

Columns of blood shot out from different parts of the body of Chi Fei the Heavenly Murderous Star.

Then his true color was revealed. It turned out that he was a giant wasp. But a moment later, the wasp dissolved into a puddle of black blood.

Sure enough, the power of the Immortal-annihilating Needle was horrifying in the extreme.

The rest of the interstellar bounty hunters were appalled to see such a scene.

“Crap!”

Someone whipped around and made to flee.

For interstellar bounty hunters, once they hit off the target, they would instantly run for their lives. That was their long-tested life-saving method.

Nevertheless, in the face of Li Mu, who was out to kill, how could they possibly get away?

“Today, you’re all gonna die.”

Li Mu performed the Hundred-steps-away Punch, which was the most basic Cultivation Method of the Yue Mountain Faction in the Divine Land. But when this basic method was executed by Li Mu with such a high level of cultivation, its power could be compared with that of a secret Cultivation Method of the Soldier Realm.

With that method, Li Mu threw a punch.

The visible air current cleaved the sky and directly bombarded the escaping interstellar bounty hunter into powder.

“Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!”

Li Mu launched a carnage.

His fist wind and fist print rapidly pelted through the air.

In the twinkling of an eye, about five interstellar bounty hunters were bombarded into powder by the pure energy of the fist wind.

“Let’s fight him to death!”

Seeing that there was no hope to escape, a hunter with a beast head and a human body who was half a step away from the Soldier Realm got anxious and madly rushed to Li Mu. He played his trump cards and performed all the best moves he could think of. Beams of light consisting of glowing red-golden Taoist figures were swirling around him, and he was wearing more than one set of divine armor as extra protection. His strikes did seem quite imperious.

“Die!”

Li Mu directly gave him a punch.

This bounty hunter, who was half a step away from the Soldier Realm, was immediately smashed into a pulp and scattered in the void as if that punch had hit a piece of tofu.

He had failed to withstand Li Mu’s one single blow.

“Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!”

Li Mu moved as fast as a flash of light and continued to throw more punches at the opponents. As if smashing watermelons with a hammer, he hit dozens of interstellar bounty hunters one by one and smashed all of them into a pulp in the void.

None of the bounty hunters who showed their faces a moment ago managed to escape.

In the distance, the ordinary cultivators watching the slaughter started to shiver with fear and their teeth began to chatter.

How atrocious!

This was too atrocious!

It was simply dastardly.

Li Mu gave each of those bounty hunters a punch. Whether they were at the peak of the Mortal Realm or in the Soldier Realm, facing Li Mu the Wild Broadsword, they were all shattered into nothingness like clay sculptures. They even didn’t make it through the first round, for no one could survive Li Mu’s one punch.

His fists were certainly fearsome.

Some people, with their hearts pounding, thought, “Li Mu shouldn’t have called himself the Wild Broadsword. He hasn’t even used his broadsword by far. Isn’t the ‘Divine Fist’ or the ‘Iron Fist’ a more suitable title?”

“Ah...” Although the last interstellar bounty hunter at the middle stage of the Soldier Realm had fled more than a kilometer away, he was still hit and smashed by Li Mu’s last punch.

“Who else wants to kill me to get the bounty? Hurry up.”

Li Mu stood proudly in the void and looked down at all the people nearby.

At this moment, all of the cultivators lowered their heads and didn’t dare to meet Li Mu’s eyes.

“I know, there are some more maggots who claim to be interstellar bounty hunters hiding in the crowd,” Li Mu said with a sneer, “but it doesn’t matter. Come to me whenever you feel that you have the confidence to take my life. Then, we’ll see which of us on earth will die.”

The cultivators were immediately in an uproar.

What Li Mu said was outrageously overweening.

No one had ever dared to say such a thing to a mad mob like the interstellar bounty hunters.

Even Second Senior Fellow Apprentice was dumbstruck at his words.

How could he be so domineering?

However, Li Mu did seem to have a past life. He was more and more like the person in the pig spirit’s memory. A long time ago, that person outshone all the heroes in history, and was able to crush the universe with one strike, change the territory with just one word. What he said was equivalent to the inexorable law... Unfortunately, in that final tribulation, he still did not escape the fate of death.

Too many heroic figures had made their marks in the world.

Some shone brightly. Some were peerlessly talented. And some ruled a galaxy. However, in the end, none of them could remain untouched by time, avoid the fate of becoming a small part of history, or withstand the trials of tribulations... In terms of all the greatest figures, they were either breathing their last breath or had already been buried.

Gazing at Li Mu who was suspended in the air, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice slipped into a trance for a few minutes.

In the end, no one dared to attack Li Mu again.

They were all too scared.

The corners of Li Mu’s lips arched with a sneer. Once again, Li Mu leaped higher and sprinted straight toward the battlefield where the three General Realm masters were combating.

“Hey, little guy, I don’t need your help.”

The “Celestial Master” wrapped in the mass of Primeval Qi spoke in surprise. He persuaded Li Mu to go back. Obviously, he was worried that Li Mu would be injured.

He was extremely concerned about Li Mu.

A murderous look appeared on the Dharma-laksana Projection of the mining slave.

As for the hellish three-headed dog, it directly turned around and charged at Li Mu. “A bug in the Mortal Realm, you really don’t know what’s good for you... You’re not even large enough to be my meal.” The dog roared, making the sky and the earth shake. The head on its left side opened its huge mouth and directly bore down upon Li Mu to swallow him whole.

Li Mu felt that a force was pulling forward, as though there was a formation in that mouth sucking him in.

“Crack!”

With a snarl, Li Mu’s physical force burst out, which directly blew up the air within a radius of 100 meters, turning the surrounding area into a vacuum. At the same time, the explosion crushed the horrible pulling force.

Then, Li Mu packed a punch.

The fist print in the air stretched to hundreds of meters long, glimmering like a column of transparent glass. The next second, it landed heavily on the left head of the hellish three-headed dog.

“Ow!”

The hellish three-headed dog howled in pain.

The impact of that punch was obviously mighty. The head on its left side was directly forced to face the sky, while black flames and yellow lava, which appeared to be its blood, spurted out.

Seeing this, the eyes of the surrounding Cultivators almost popped out of their sockets.

“Are you kidding me?

“Li Mu even assaulted the General Realm master?”

Moments ago, those cultivators were still vowing that they would take Li Mu down with a siege. Now, that thought appeared to be a huge joke. It was as ridiculous as seeing a few ants gather together and pledge to kill a dragon.

Some people came to realize that no matter what happened next, from today on, the name “Li Mu” would probably set off huge waves in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Soon, hearing his name alone would make countless people wet themselves.

As long as Li Mu survived today’s battle, a new legend would come to the stage.

“You little bug, only death can serve you right.”

The rage of the hellish three-headed dog had reached the point of bursting.

It did not expect that Li Mu, who was as small as a flea in its eyes, could actually hurt it.

“Grrr!”

The head on its right side opened its mouth, and the dark green poisonous gas gushed out like a beam of light, which went after Li Mu right away.

The Somersault Cloud!

Li Mu cast his power and instantly dodged the blow.

“Ah...”

“Help me!”

Screams could be heard from afar.

The column of dark green light extended to tens of thousands of meters away. Some cultivators couldn’t avert it in time and immediately fell victims. No matter what realm they were in, they instantly melted like wax statues being set on fire.

These cultivators wailed and struggled.

Then, their armors, helmets, storage devices, defensive devices, weapons, and everything they carried dissolved into dark green liquids at a speed visible to the naked eye. The liquid fell from the sky and landed onto the ground, which then corroded the earth and created large bottomless pits.

How terrible!

In an instant, the surrounding cultivators backed to hundreds of miles away like the ebb of a tide.

But Li Mu didn’t turn a hair. With the Somersault Cloud, he instantly jumped to the left head of the hellish three-headed dog, grabbed its mane, and began to wildly pummel its head.
