Donāt be fooled by how the entire Qianyuan Empire is a nation of warriors with countless Martial Artists at the base; there arenāt actually many strong fighters at the top.
Centurions guard small cities, Thousand-man Generals guard large cities, and Ten-Thousand-Man Generals guard the main cities with Teleportation Arrays!
And Martial Saints, they guard an entire prefecture!
At the level of a Martial Saint, one becomes a regional warlord with immense power!
The entire Boyang Prefecture has only two Martial Saints!
One is the Governor of Boyang Prefecture, the other is the supreme military Commander of Boyang Prefecture!
Throughout the Qianyuan Empire, only two major forces can freely mobilize Martial Saints.
One is the Qianyuan Empireās foremost powerful organization, the Black Ice Platform!
The other is the Hunting Team!
The Hunting Team spans the entire nation, primarily responsible for hunting down Barbarians from Another World!
The Martial Saints in the Hunting Team are often incredibly powerful, at worst they are Mid-Stage Martial Saints!
The Captain of the Southern Region Thirteenth Prefectureās First Hunting Team, Yama Martial Saint, is a Mid-Stage Martial Saint!
After the first spear failed to achieve merit, the second spear, Yama Martial Saint no longer had the initial killing intent!
He decided to capture this vile Barbarian Divine Child and thoroughly torment him!
The opportunity to torment a Divine Child is a rare encounter.
A Divine Child with unlimited potential falling in his hands, such pleasure would allow Yama Martial Saint to enjoy it for hundreds of years!
The spear intent was like a net, layer upon layer, enveloping Li Kunlun!
Even though Li Kunlun was cultivating the Cultivation Technique bestowed by Lin Mu, in such a huge disparity of strength, it was of no use!
The space for evasive maneuvers kept shrinking.
If at this moment, Yama Martial Saint unleashed another fierce spear, Li Kunlun, without the protection of the Spiritual Energy Seed, would undoubtedly die!
Yama Martial Saintās desire to capture alive gave him a glimmer of hope!
"Barbarian! Do you still want to resist? If you surrender now, Iāll give you a quick death, how about it?"
Yama Martial Saint laughed heartily, as if toying with an ant.
The two Thousand-man Generals watched from a distance, sighing inwardly.
It seems thereās no chance for them to make a name for themselves.
A Barbarian Divine Child, such an opportunity doesnāt come even once in thousands of years.
What a pity!
As the two Thousand-man Generals were lamenting in their hearts, they heard that Barbarian from Another World speak a word in anotherworldly language!
The next moment, that Barbarian stepped forward with one foot!
Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps!
One Step, Rivers Shatter!
Li Kunlun unleashed Lin Muās renowned skill!
One step forward, and the rivers and mountains shattered!
Clearly just a Divine Child of a Centurion, yet he exuded the momentum not even possessed by a Ten-Thousand-Man General with a single step!
Bang!
A spear intent from Yama Martial Saint was shattered by force!
"Damn! Looking for death, see if I wonāt kill you!"
His spear intent was actually broken by a Centurion, Yama Martial Saint was furious, losing all thoughts of toying, he struck with a spear!
Strong as a dragon, shaking the void!
With a sweep of the spear, the heavens and earth trembled, waves of terrifying spiritual energy spread in all directions!
The other members of the Hunting Team quickly retreated.
The ground cracked inch by inch, the terrifying might swept in all directions!
The wrath of a Martial Saint, blood flows a thousand miles!
Bang!
A huge booming sound rang out.
All members of the Hunting Team felt their eardrums nearly pierced by the loud sound!
The scattered internal energy gradually dissipated, revealing the scene inside.
Only to see, a young man in white, holding up one hand, pinching the spear of Yama Martial Saint with two fingers!
Behind this young man in white, there even stood a timid little girl.
"My lord!"
Li Kunlun wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, overjoyed.
He had just hopelessly tried a Sound Transmission Talisman, unexpectedly Lin Wudi arrived!
He didnāt have to die!
"Who are you!"
Yama Martial Saintās eyes were full of shock!
A Centurion, to actually catch his spear with two fingers!
How could this be possible!
Even a Divine Child, at the Centurion level, couldnāt reach such a degree!
"In your words, a Barbarian from Another World!"
Lin Mu exerted force with his two fingers.
Crack!
Yama Martial Saintās spear was snapped in half!
"Breaking a Magic Artifact barehanded, you..."
Yama Martial Saint hadnāt finished his sentence, and saw the person in front of him point a finger at his forehead.
He wanted to evade, wanted to attack, but it was as if he was bound by something, unable to move!
"Heaven and earth bestow blessings, you..."
Yama Martial Saint had a high status, knowing many secrets of the Qianyuan Empire!
There was a legend, two thousand years ago, in a mysterious small world a peerless strongman was born.
This strongman entered the Qianyuan Empire, using Early-Stage Martial Saint strength, broke through a divine suppression, and struck down the Hunting Team Captain!
The revealed might, was heaven and earthās blessing, capable of sealing everything!
However, that strongman was later suppressed to death by the subsequent heaven and earth pressure!
In front of him, there were no tribulation clouds around this person, yet he could possess the heaven and earthās blessing, this...
Before Yama Martial Saint could understand what was happening, that finger had already touched his forehead!
Slaying Gods and Demons and Punishing Immortals Twelfth Style!
Godslayer Finger!
All the power, concentrated and erupted at one point!
Bang!
Countless energies exploded inside Yama Martial Saintās head!
The terrifying power of the Godslayer Finger stirred up a storm in Yama Martial Saintās skull!
Pu!
A burst of blood light shot from the back of Yama Martial Saintās head.
Yama Martial Saintās tall figure trembled, collapsing like a toppled mountain, a fallen pillar!
The death of a Martial Saint, the heavens and earth mourn together!
In the sky, blood rain fell, as if this world was mourning the loss of a Martial Saint!
Except for Lin Mu and Li Kunlun, the two people from another world, everyone present felt an uncontrollable sadness well up in their hearts!
"Escape!"
The two Thousand-man Generals turned and fled without hesitation!
The Martial Saint was killed, and for the two of them, staying meant death, it was better to spread the word!
A Barbarian from Another World capable of killing a Martial Saint, this was an unprecedented event in ten thousand years!
Bang!
As they fled, Lin Mu was a step ahead.
One Step, Rivers Shatter!
The same Dao Arts, under Lin Muās feet, had the ability of Divine Skills!
The terrifying might enveloped all directions!
Those thousands of Hunting Team members shivered simultaneously, and the next moment, flesh and bones separated, turning into skeletons, their frames fell to the dust!
Li Kunlunās eyes shone, intently watching the spreading ripples of the Shattered Rivers, vaguely feeling he had gained much insight!
After the killing, Lin Mu showed no sign of mockery, instead, he furrowed his brows.
"With the heaven and earthās blessing of the Middle Thousand Worlds, alongside the might of the Godslayer Finger, I almost couldnāt kill a so-called Martial Saint! My strength seems somewhat weak now."
That day, he once swept through the Ancient Land at the Foundation Establishment Realm, slaying the Middle Stage Core Formation Sword Venerable and Thunder Sovereign!
Now, though blessed by the Middle Thousand Worldās heaven and earth, his realm had risen to the Foundation Establishment Peak, but the opponent he faced was truly in the Golden Core Realm!
Yama Martial Saint, equivalent to Golden Core Middle Stage, stood there without resistance allowing him to kill, yet he nearly failed to do so!
The gap in realm is too large, even if Lin Muās words are followed by laws, with countless Dao Methods, he cannot counterattack a Fifth Order!
"The realm has just risen, and if I forcefully ascend again, my realm might become unstable. To enhance combat power in a short time, perhaps I should think about the Magic Artifact."
Lin Mu extended his hand, and Yama Martial Saintās Space Ring fell into his grasp.
Snap!
The restriction on the Space Ring shattered, and its contents spilled to the ground.
"Oh? There are some good things..."
Lin Mu waved his hand, and various colorful glows gathered into his hand, they were peculiar and rare refining materials!
The Yulong Sword was his weapon during the Qi Cultivation Realm, now mostly used for traveling, no longer suitable for combat.
This time, he might as well take the opportunity to reforge the Yulong Sword!
"Letās go, to Giant Spirit City!"
Lin Mu rode the sword, heading towards Giant Spirit City, one of the eighteen major cities of Boyang Prefecture.
