Chapter 463: Slaughtering the Azure Dragon Army, Annihilating the Blood Guard (9k) (Part 2)
Combined with the assassination attempt by the forty-nine Blood Garment Guards, no one under the heavens could have escaped. Even if the Divine Emperor were alive or the Great Ancestor were resurrected, they couldn't have withstood it. Although Chen Mu's physique was exceptionally strong, this sudden attack could have at least injured him, setting the stage for a subsequent kill.
But now,
Not only had Chen Mu remained unscathed, but he had effortlessly countered the deadly strike. In an instant, he had forcibly dispersed the auras of the forty-nine Blood Garment Guards, breaking them out of their merged state!
This shocked not only Tu Shan but also Cheng Zu, the master of the Mystic Pavilion in the Jade Capital, and Xiang Yuan, who had fought Chen Mu before, as their pupils constricted in astonishment.
"This..."
Ruan Tian, the Heaven and Man Master, also found it hard to believe.
Perhaps those from various factions in Great Xuan, far away, didn't realize the ferocity of that strike. But as a representative of the court, Ruan Tian was well aware that even if his strength were doubled, he might not have escaped that attack. Even if he survived, he would have been severely injured.
Clearly, Chen Mu was even more powerful than Ruan Tian had anticipated, surpassing his understanding.
In contrast to the court's shock, Chen Mu remained standing in the Azure Dragon Army Array, alone but unyielding. His long robe fluttered, and he stood like an unconquerable giant peak, his gaze overlooking everything.
Swish!
In the next moment, Chen Mu moved. Ignoring the pressure of the army array controlled by Tu Shan, his speed remained terrifyingly fast as he approached the nearest Blood Garment Guard.
The guard's face was rigid, his body stiff like a corpse. He showed no reaction to Chen Mu's sudden attack, merely mechanically raising his arm. In an instant, his body transformed into a red shadow, attempting to block Chen Mu's strike.
Bang!
Chen Mu's previous attack, which had combined the strength of forty-nine people, was unstoppable, let alone by a single individual. Even with the utmost effort to deflect the attack, Chen Mu's right arm, combining softness and hardness with motion and stillness, pierced straight through the guard's chest!
Chen Mu's right hand penetrated the guard's body, and blood instantly stained his arm. However, the blood wasn't vermilion but a dark red, like that of a corpse, giving off an eerie vibe.
"Not good!"
Seeing Chen Mu kill a Blood Garment Guard with a single move, Tu Shan finally reacted, roaring in anger. His hair and beard stood on end as his blood essence ignited, burning away his life force. Even if he didn't die in battle, he wouldn't live much longer. Although it was his blood essence burning, in his old age, it was his lifespan being consumed!
"Dragon Battles in the Wild!"
Tu Shan waved the army array's flag, and his roar echoed throughout the formation.
(Chapter End)
Tu Shan fought desperately!
The Blood-Clad Guards, who had previously been scattered by Chen Mu, finally reacted. The remaining forty-eight figures flickered and converged once more, forming a faint red cloud in an instant.
Chen Mu, however, ignored the movements of the Azure Dragon Army and the reunion of the Blood-Clad Guards. He focused solely on the Blood-Clad Guard he had pierced through the chest. Despite having their heart chamber shattered, this guard remained alive and even emitted a faint crimson glow, attempting to continue its counterattack on Chen Mu. Its eyes were devoid of emotion, showing no signs of life.
Witnessing this, Chen Mu shook his head in disappointment.
"So they're just a bunch of unorthodox practitioners. I thought there was some profound martial arts technique involved."
After killing one of the Blood-Clad Guards, Chen Mu couldn't see through their secrets at a glance, but he did realize that these guards were not ordinary living beings. They were created using methods similar to the Corpse Refining Technique of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
Upon further reflection, it wasn't surprising. The existence of Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, who were born conjoined and separated later, was already extraordinary. Despite their separation, they possessed martial talent and excellent innate talent, and they had cultivated to the Grandmaster level, which was extremely rare.
It was impossible for dozens of them to share a connected soul.
Realizing that the Blood-Clad Guards didn't possess any profound martial arts techniques, Chen Mu lost interest. He turned his attention to the approaching Azure Dragon soldiers and the attacking Blood-Clad Guards, his eyes becoming indifferent.
Since they were just unorthodox practitioners, he didn't want to waste more time. He had initially intended to test the Azure Dragon Army and the so-called Blood-Clad Guards, which was why he had charged in.
Swish!!
Chen Mu moved again.
After understanding the nature of the Blood-Clad Guards, he faced the red cloud once more. With a simple lift of his right hand and a press of his left, he executed the Heaven and Earth Seal! His Heaven and Earth Physique, cultivated to the Blood Transformation Realm, allowed him to unleash the full might of the seal. Infused with the principles of the Six Heavens, motion and stillness, and the integration of hardness and softness, this single move was devastating, leaving no room for evasion or defense.
Boom!
With this strike, the red cloud formed by the forty-eight Blood-Clad Guards was shattered once more. It exploded into fragments of blood, splattering in all directions. Although not all forty-eight guards were instantly killed, at least a dozen of them vomited dark, deep brown blood.
At this moment, a large number of Azure Dragon soldiers rushed forward again, but Chen Mu didn't bother with words. He executed the Heaven and Earth Seal once more.
Boom!!!
The condensed Heaven and Earth Seal in his palm exploded, and with just this one move, hundreds of Azure Dragon soldiers were knocked down. The force of the strike continued, piercing through thousands of Azure Dragon armors, shattering them into pieces!"
"Bad news!"
"We can't stop him..."
Inside the Jade Capital, the master of the Mystic Pavilion and the others all had their faces turn pale.
Initially, they had thought that with the Azure Dragon Army suppressing one side and the Blood-Clad Guards attacking the other, even if Chen Mu survived, he would be heavily injured. At that moment, they planned to launch a joint attack, cutting off Chen Mu's escape route and ensuring he had no chance to flee.
However, Chen Mu's strength and abilities exceeded their expectations. Even with the suppression of the million-strong Azure Dragon Army and the assault of the forty-nine Blood-Clad Guards, they couldn't stop him.
At this point, even if they all attacked together, it would be meaningless.
The Blood-Clad Guards had a unique constitution, cultivated through secret techniques, making them neither fully human nor inanimate. They were like a fusion of humans and spirit armaments, which allowed them to largely ignore the suppression and influence of the Azure Dragon Army formation.
Even if they, including Ran Tian, a Heaven and Man Master, forcefully broke into the Azure Dragon Army formation, they wouldn't be able to exert their full strength. They might not even be as powerful as a single Blood-Clad Guard.
"Indeed, after entering the Blood Transformation Realm, this person is almost invincible in the mortal realm. Ordinary means can hardly stop him."
"The Azure Dragon Army and the Blood-Clad Guards are useless. Let's go!"
Cheng Zu, the master of the Mystic Pavilion, took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and unease in his heart. He maintained his composure, as the Great Xuan Dynasty had ruled for a thousand years, and their foundation was even stronger. However, due to the suppression of the Azure Dragon Army formation and the Mystic Sky Formation of the Northern Heaven Gate, many of their techniques were unusable.
Now that the Blood-Clad Guards and the Azure Dragon Army couldn't stop Chen Mu, they had no choice but to let him enter the city for now.
At this moment, Chen Mu, having lost interest, fought with all his strength, except for not yet mobilizing his soul power. His Heaven and Earth Physique, cultivated to the Blood Refinement level, combined with his inner essence and Primordial Energy, made him nearly invincible as he pushed forward.
In just a moment, he swept through the eight directions, reaching the retreating main commander of the Azure Dragon Army, Tu Shan.
"Hah!"
Tu Shan's hair and beard stood on end, and his body was enveloped in a heat wave—the aura of burning martial blood. He didn't fear Chen Mu's approach and drew his sword, slashing fiercely.
Chen Mu flicked his finger in mid-air, clashing with Tu Shan's descending sword in the void. The Primordial Energy rippled, and Chen Mu's finger directly touched the sword's edge, applying a slight force.
Crack!
This long sword, also a spirit armament, shattered under Chen Mu's flickering fingers. Cracks appeared on its surface and spread, eventually causing it to explode.
Chen Mu took a step forward, wasting no words. He pointed his finger at Tu Shan.
Tu Shan still tried to resist, roaring as he channeled his Primordial Energy and clapped his palms together to block Chen Mu's finger. But as their palms met, Chen Mu's finger pierced through, and a fierce finger force passed through his chest, creating a clear hole in his body!
"Heh..."
Blood spilled from Tu Shan's mouth, and his eyes showed unwillingness. He tried to muster his remaining strength to counterattack, but he felt the Heaven and Earth Power continuously shattering within him, causing his five viscera and six entrails to crumble in an instant.
Plop.
The commander who had led the Azure Dragon Army for decades, a centenarian renowned across the realm, suddenly collapsed, his lifeblood gushing forth. In an instant, his aura and the entire formation of the Azure Dragon Army shattered.
A Blood Transformation Realm master had fallen!
From afar, the high-ranking figures of various sects watched the battlefield in stunned silence. They had anticipated a fierce battle, knowing that casualties were inevitable, especially among those in the Blood Transformation Realm. Yet, no one could have imagined that the first to fall would be Tu Shan, the supreme commander of the Azure Dragon Army!
The Azure Dragon Army, nearly restored to its former glory, had easily crushed a powerful regional faction. Tu Shan, once a formidable commander, a pinnacle expert in the Blood Transformation Realm, had been brutally slain by Chen Mu, right in the midst of a million-strong army. Despite being surrounded by dozens of Blood Guards, he had forced his way through, killing Tu Shan with his own hands!
Tu Shan's death left the Azure Dragon formation in disarray. It shattered into pieces, and many Bone Marrow Washing Realm generals stood in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The Azure Dragon Army had dominated the realm, even trapping and slaying the almighty Ten-Tiered Heavenly Demon. Even those in the Blood Transformation Realm or the Heaven and Man Realm dared not confront them directly. How could they have been breached, their flags captured, and their generals slain?
"Kill!"
A deep, chilling voice, devoid of life, echoed.
The Blood Guards, who had been scattered by Chen Mu earlier, regrouped, fearlessly charging towards him. They unleashed a fierce blood light, piercing towards Chen Mu's back.
But with Tu Shan's fall, the Azure Dragon formation was torn apart by Chen Mu's overwhelming force. It could no longer seal the heavens and earth. As Chen Mu breathed, a surge of Heavenly and Earthly Primordial Energy rushed towards him.
Facing the Blood Guards' attack, Chen Mu didn't even turn around. He stood firm, breathing in the Primordial Energy. In an instant, a torrent of Heaven and Earth Primordial Aura erupted, transforming into visible energy that forcefully suppressed the blood light.
Sizzle!
The blood light struggled towards Chen Mu's back, slowly piercing through the Primordial True Energy. However, it was continuously peeled away, finally exposing a single spirit needle within. With great difficulty, it reached Chen Mu's back.
The spirit needle touched Chen Mu's spine, emitting a metallic ringing sound as if two metals were clashing. It was instantly deflected and sent flying.
In the next moment, Chen Mu turned his gaze towards the Blood Guards. His eyes cold and indifferent, he vanished from his original spot, reappearing right in front of the Blood Guards. With a slight forward motion of his right hand, he gently pressed down with a palm.
Without the suppression of the Azure Dragon formation, Chen Mu's palm strike was terrifying. Though it appeared slow and light, wherever it passed, not only did the air distort, but even the void began to crack, shattering into countless fissures!
The Blood Guards, condensed into a red cloud, seemed to sense the terror of this strike. They trembled violently, instinctively trying to escape. Yet, Chen Mu's seemingly simple strike encompassed the heavens and earth, leaving no room for evasion.
Finally, the palm imprint slammed onto the red cloud.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The first Blood Guard was squeezed out of the red cloud, spitting out a mouthful of blood as their body exploded. Then the second, the third, the fourth... The speed of their demise increased, and over forty Blood Guards were forced out of the cloud, forming a line as they flew across, crashing into the Azure Dragon Army formation, crushing another wave of soldiers.
With a single move,
The Blood Guards were annihilated.
Some of the Azure Dragon soldiers, now without Tu Shan's command, were at a loss. Witnessing this scene, they were shocked, and many couldn't help but halt in their tracks.
"Get out of here!"
Chen Mu's cold command thundered like a startling peal of thunder, reverberating in their minds. The already scattered Azure Dragon Army further disintegrated, quickly falling into chaos.
Beyond the Northern Heaven Gate, countless Blood Transformation experts watched in awe. The Azure Dragon formation, visible to the naked eye, seemed like interwoven clouds, and after a crack appeared at its center, it finally shattered.
The million-strong army disintegrated.
Nearly all the Azure Dragon soldiers froze in their tracks, momentarily stunned.
Amidst the gentle breeze, Chen Mu's gaze swept across the Azure Dragon soldiers, then turned towards the Northern Heaven Gate, where Ran Tian still directed the Mystic Sky Array.
"!"
Ran Tian and Chen Mu locked eyes, their pupils constricting. Even as a Heavenly Person, Ran Tian felt a surge of terror and was deeply shaken.
The Azure Dragon Army and the Blood Guards had been crushed by Chen Mu's overwhelming might. Ran Tian, with no intention of fighting Chen Mu alone, made a swift decision. He abandoned the Northern Heaven Gate, his figure drawing a rainbow arc as he retreated into the Jade Capital.
Step, step, step,
Chen Mu strode forward, passing through the Azure Dragon Army. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, from low-ranking troops to Bone Marrow Washing Realm masters, dared not move a muscle, watching helplessly as Chen Mu crossed the formation and passed over the Northern Heaven Gate.
As if in response to Chen Mu's crossing, the once azure sky turned dark. It seemed to bear the weight of the shattered Azure Dragon formation and the dense killing intent. Dark clouds gathered, and with a flash of lightning, thunder roared.
Drip, drip, drip.
Rain poured down, turning into a torrential downpour. It soaked the Azure Dragon soldiers, clad in green-scaled heavy armor, right through to their inner garments, chilling them to the bone.
