Li Mu had never seen a Child of the Moon before.
Children of the Moon look undistinguishable from humans in almost every way if not for the pointy and elegant leaf-shaped ears and silver-blonde hair. If anything, Li Mu thought that they rather looked like the elves from the fairy tales and stories from Earth. And they would have looked beautiful and handsome too, if not for the visibly enraged and livid looks they were wearing. They would have looked perfect.
“SLAY THEM ALL!”
The Moon Monarch boomed, swinging his scepter.
Hordes of Moon Sentinels rumbled across the decks and from under the cabins below, rushing up to overwhelm the human Trailblazers.
Without a warning, a fight broke out.
Li Mu instinctively cast his gaze around the Lunar Specter. The beasts and wraiths that had been tussling and jostling among each other to fight for an extra drop of Deluge of Illumination had withdrawn a distance a
The Moon Monarch was nowhere near amused to see the crates of Lunar Gems being loaded off the Lunar Specter. He was apoplectically livid.A scarlet wave of phosphorescence erupted from him, sweeping in huge ripples everywhere. That sent the already-frenzied Moon Sentinels up to another level. One could almost smell the irrepressible blood lust filling the dead soldiers as they pummeled through the Trailblazer defense line with manic ferocity.“He could strengthen his warriors?”Li Mu mused with shock.With each and every Moon Sentinel individually and magically augmented, the Trailblazers, who were already struggling to hold their own against the impossible odds, began to show signs of faltering.“This is not working,” Ye Ying thought.She speared her weapon through two Moon Sentinels in quick succession, sending them crashing to the ground. But for the first time, since this skirmish sparked, she c
But before Xiao Jianfeng could even finish,The Moon Sentinels renewed themselves for another charge.“No buts. Just do as I say.”The curt remark signified the end of the conversation. Li Mu lunged forward.The golden shield overhead evaporated. Li Mu flung his arms forth. Luminous chains of gold spouted from his palms, shooting forward and, in just the blink of an eye, shredding the dozen-or-so Moon Sentinels at the forefront into nothing but cinder-like dregs of energy.Unstoppable and invincible.“Gods… Powerful… That’s impossibly powerful…’Still unable to recover from the initial shock, Xiao Jianfei could barely describe his shock and awe.Only the General-class officers in the military wielded such might!But he was not the only one still gripped by shock. The rest of the other armor-clad Trailblazers all gawked with disbelief.“How could th
This was a twist that Li Mu never saw coming.But he remembered the flash of light that streaked into the air and escaped. Perhaps there was credibility to the claims the Moon Monarch had just made.“A thousand years ago, the armies of the Children of the Moon were slain during an ambush. Since that annihilation, our souls have been trapped on this ship, held under the control of the Fiend Emperor Xue Yan. Through the years, here we have been. With the treasures used as bait to lure any unsuspecting people or creatures, we have been the butchers of the Fiend Emperor to satiate his thirst for blood. Today, you have freed us from the fetters that have ensnared us for so long and returned us to what we really were.”The Moon Monarch bowed and so did the army of Moon Sentinels behind him.The night sky slowly receded back to its usual nocturnal placidity as the blood moon phenomenon was indeed no more.It was all Li
“They’re gone. Back to the nether with the Lunar Specter.”Li Mu explained further without even stirring, “The way to the Nether closes with the going of the blood moon. The Moon Monarch and his armies could be all-powerful as they want, but they are not of this world. So there we are.” He paused, realizing the discrepancy in what he just said, hence he added hastily, “But because of the fierce battle, the Lunar Specter is now a heap of broken wood in the middle of the wilderness.”Ye Ying, Lin Jingxin, and Xiao Jianfeng all inhaled a long, deep breath.“Because of that fierce battle?“If so, then 'fierce' sounds like an understatement for now!”But they were not fools. It was plain as day that Lu Ye did not want to divulge too many details. Nevertheless, as the person who had delivered them from death and destruction, they all felt that he ought to be entitled to some secrets of his own.But that w
A Trailblazer medic came forward with some medical paraphernalia. Before he could get any nearer to administer any medicine, the ferocious stallion writhed wildly. Ignoring the blood streaming from its wounds, the wounded horse leveled a kick that sent the poor medic crashing a distance away.“Quite the headstrong one, eh?”Lin Jingxin’s eyes lit up with interest. “Good horse! I like horses with a character like this! If I could tame it, this animal would be a great boon to me! Come! Let me try!”He took the chest of medicine from the Trailblazer medic and strode to the injured horse.“Neigh!”Schwarzdrachen whinnied with rage. The stallion reared, swinging its hooves menacingly at the approaching Lin Jingxin. But even the captain of the Trailblazer failed to fare any better; Schwarzdrachen planted a hoof into his shoulder and Lin careened off unsteadily.“Dammit, you beast!”Lin Jingxi
“HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!”Lei Cang stood before the mounds of debris that were the wreckage of the Lunar Specter, his torso and limbs trembling while his heart and mind overflowing with a numbing chill.He had searched everywhere in the area. There was no doubt. What fate he expected to befall Li Mu, Lin Jingxin, and the others certainly failed to happen. Wherever they are, dead was definitely not what they were now. For dozens of miles, all he found were the carcasses of wild beasts—not even the slightest bit of any dead Trailblazer. That left only one possibility: that the Trailblazers had managed to escape the Moon Sentinels’ onslaught even with the wardcasters slaughtered and they certainly fled the jaws of the raging wild beasts around them.“They had escaped. Fled.“Gods, that’s bad. Very bad.”Beside Lei Cang was this bald old man with white flowing locks around his ears.“What should we do no
Brilliant flames of gold bristled Li Mu’s very self. Using his sword as he would a saber, he put on a show of the intricate and masterful techniques that he learned from Molderad, reducing every crossbow quiver into dust.“WHO’S THERE!? HOW DARE YOU COMMIT MURDER IN A MILITARY STAGING STATION!?” he boomed.It was all he could do to keep his rage in check, or he would have gone into a rampage.Something insidious was afoot—something sinister enough to have caused the senseless slaughters of Trailblazers who had just honored themselves in battle and glory.Dark clouds veiled over the moon ominously.The blood of the dead Trailblazers streamed quietly, slithering from their bodies like sanguine red serpents in silence.The multitudes of masked soldiers uttered not a word. In the jet-black mail, they blended with the darkness of the moonless night, their very presence unseen and unfelt like wraiths.
“If only it’s just as simple as a wretched bastard like Lei Cang,” said Lin An. “Enough questions, Cinnamon. The die is cast and nothing you do, even if you know what is going on, will change things. Just do as I say and report at the Phenex Cohort base camp. Stay out of trouble; this is not something you can handle.”“But what if I were to insist on going to the staging station now?” Lin Jingxin asserted, “Are you going to have me bound in chains and dragged there instead?”“What do you think?” Lin An deflected with a question of his own.“Tell me, uncle,” Lin Jingxin persuaded, “Is our family’s interest more important than justice for all mankind?”Lin An’s face shifted at that. He exhaled wearily and placed a hand on the shoulder of one of the family’s brightest young prodigies and said, “None of them are. What matters above all else is the continuity of our race.”“But Li Mu, he is a—” Lin Jingxin protested.
Li Mu's cultivation nowadays was at the peak of the Golden Immortal, and his battle power could cut down the first generals.If one were to obtain a drop of Immortal Marrow, one could instantly leap into the peak of Immortal Generals, and at that time, even if one were to face an Immortal King, one would be able to defeat him in battle, not to mention traversing across the major state capitals, even if it was the entire Eastern Sacred Continent, the heavens and the earth were vast, and one could go to it.At that time, it would be like a fish out of water to find Wang Shiyu, Hua Wanyong, and the others.At that thought, Li Mu immediately became desirous of this Immortal Marrow."One drop of Immortal Marrow, one great realm, so if a bottle of Immortal Marrow were all swallowed, wouldn't it directly soar into the Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Lord realm?" Li Mu said.Xia Jing was stunned and then giggled."I didn't expect that
Uh-huh?What a scene of déjà vu.Li Mu all of a sudden, remembered the legendary Liu Huangshu Baidicheng entrusted the orphan.It's a pity that the Emperor is not Uncle Liu.And Li Mu is not Zhuge Kongming.Li Mu said indifferently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can make a dao oath that I won't taint the imperial power of Huangji Cliff for the rest of my life.""Cough cough cough ......" the emperor coughed, hastily said: "I ...... am not using words to frame you, I... ...In the chaotic world, there is no strength, sooner or later ...... sooner or later is the death ...... of the disaster ...... wood brother you if you are the emperor, or you may be able to ...... preserve a trace of my bloodline, I ......"Li Mu said, "Your Majesty's meaning, I understand, but my words remain the same, I will never dye the royal fist, Emperor Chen will be a bright ruler."The emperor sighed and said, "I understand ...... all ...... all stand down ....
Reimu smiled.Snap your fingers.Phew.A golden stream of light flashed by.Emperor Zhen, who was roaring at the top of his lungs, his voice came to an abrupt end, and his hands covered his neck, a splash of blood seeped out, followed by golden flames, which spewed out from his body."You ...... you dare to kill me?"He looked at Li Mu incredulously and eventually turned into a puff of flying ash.In the great hall, there was an instant dead silence.The horrific images, although they had ended, the aftermath was still like a hurricane, still madly hitting everyone's nerves over and over again.Prince Wood actually went out and killed someone?He actually made a move?Killing a royal son with royal blood flowing in his body right here in this great hall?He dared.He really dared.All the ministers felt that their bodies were cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, like the cold winter of the t
The other ministers in the hall, hearing such words, could not help but look at Zheng Yuan with shocked gazes.The so-called Emperor Tatsu's son is a wild seed, this kind of thing, if you don't explode it sooner or later, and you don't explode it at this time, what is the intention?Besides, it's not certain whether it's true or not.Saying such words in such an important meeting of the court was tantamount to slapping the emperor's face in public and rubbing the emperor's majesty, on the ground.What a nerve.On one side, Servant Yin's face changed wildly as she shook her head and argued, "No, it's not like that, Chen'er is His Majesty's child ...... "When the Emperor intended to set up Emperor Chen as the Crown Prince just now, she vaguely realized that this was a dangerous signal, the treacherous darkness of the palace court was not something she could resist as a small servant girl.But I didn't expect the slander and danger to come so
"Tatsu-chan!"Servant Yin was filled with a huge surprise in her chest and subconsciously rushed over to the little boy and held him in her arms."Mother, you're here too ...... Mother, I've seen father."The little boy dug into Squire Yin's arms with delight.His first words had to do with his parents.But many snickers resounded clearly and audibly in the great hall.Although no one said anything, the meaning was clear: 'Father' is a word you call, too?Servant Yin, however, didn't pay that much attention.In the instant she saw her son, her heart, without the slightest bit of nervousness or panic, held her son firmly in her arms, and the only thought in her entire life and soul at that moment was to protect her son at all costs."Do not make a noise and stand aside."The Grand Eunuch opened his mouth to chide.The little boy then kept his mouth tightly shut.He was foolish and hadn't seen much of the world, b
A cold aura flickered.A sword to the death.The sharp sword was about to pierce the young maid's brow.Just then, a sudden change occurred.Suddenly space and time seemed to freeze, and the black-clothed assassin realized that his immortal sword, after all, was no longer able to progress the slightest bit.What's going on?He was alarmed in his mind.And yet the next moment--Ding!The sword body incredibly broke apart and turned into countless shards.The tip of the sword flew backward and penetrated the black-clothed assassin's throat.Before the blood could soar out, his body erupted into a ball of golden flames, which then turned into flying ash and dissipated into the air.The little maid looked at what was in front of her in shock.In that moment just now, she thought she was bound to die.It turned out to be the assassin who died.Who saved me?She gasped in horror and looked arou
The Emperor was sitting on the throne of the Nine to Five, a little tired.The fact that he was poisoned was not revealed to the public.So until now, no one has known.But the toxin was eating away at his body so frantically that his energy was declining so much that his entire body felt extremely tired at all times.The sound of ministers' ears arguing seemed near and far away in the ear.The hand-wringing Prince Tatsu was led by the great eunuch and stood on the side of the dragon chair.Eight or nine year old boy, for the first time out of that small compound, face full of fear, timid, like a small goat caught in a wolf pack, not knowing what to do, lowered his head, twisted the corner of his coat, did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere.This look, in the eyes of the ministers, is even more unbearable."Your Majesty's intention to establish a Crown Prince is a major event, and should not be done in haste, perhaps it should
The little boy did not return until late afternoon.The young maid tried to inquire about the news several times, but was mercilessly stopped by the palace's close guards guarding the entrance of the firewood courtyard.She had been until, herself, she was secluded.This alarmed the young maid even more.What the hell is going on?What kind of terrible things would Tatsu'er face if he went to the palace?The Empress and the Noble Consorts, they won't poison him, will they?Why did His Majesty suddenly summon Chen'er to the palace?She speculated in her mind in fear, her tears were like a fountain that she could not control at all.It's a mother's love for her son.Humble but great love.Kneeling on both knees in the courtyard, she looked up at the Hao Sun that was gradually setting in the sky, and at the silver full moon that had already risen, shedding tears and silently praying with her life and soul."Tatsu'e
The Emperor was at the half-step Golden Immortal level of cultivation, and although this realm was forcefully instilled with various resources and secret techniques, the realm was enough after all.The lifespan of a half-step Golden Immortal could be more than five thousand years.So the Emperor never thought that he would have to face death head on, so soon."It's so ...... ungrateful."He smiled bitterly on his face and sighed deeply on the inside.But in the end, you have to face reality.The biggest problem to consider today was who should inherit the throne of Huangji Cliff after his death.He had only ascended the throne as emperor for just over two years, and because he was diligent in his political affairs and too young, he had not even considered the matter of the succession of the throne.In the harem, there are but one wife and two concubines.These three women were not his true love, but were allied for the sake of pr
