The First Marquis of Daxuan

In the endless wilderness, Su Mu ran at full speed, leaving a clearly visible trail of dust behind him.

Suddenly, he felt that the already dim sky became even darker.

I looked up subconsciously and saw a dark cloud covering the sky and approaching from behind at a very fast speed.

When Su Mu looked up, it was still several miles away. When Su Mu saw its appearance clearly, it was only two or three miles away from Su Mu.

The black cloud was so big that even though it was two or three miles away, Su Mu felt a strong sense of oppression coming towards him, making his breathing a little difficult.

Before Su Mu could react to what was happening, he heard the shrill howling of ghosts and saw phantom ghosts flying out of the black cloud.

"Evil Soldier, the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls!"

Su Mu took a breath of cold air.

He finally reacted.

No wonder I felt that the black cloud looked familiar just now, it turned out to be this!
The moment he recognized this evil weapon, Su Mu also knew who was coming!
There may be many demons in the world who possess the evil weapon Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but there is only one person who can refine it to this level.

The Demon Court’s Imperial Master, Liang Jinglue!

Su Mu learned from Zhuge Jingang that Liang Jinglue, the national teacher of the Demon Court, had the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

When Zhuge Jingang was still serving in the army at the border, he once fought against the Demon Court and saw with his own eyes the Demon Court's national master Liang Jinglue use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

At that time, the Demon Court was not as powerful as it is now, but the Ten Thousand Souls Banner also killed many people from Daxuan.

Many of Zhuge Jingang's comrades died under the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

That's why Zhuge Jingang hates the Ten Thousand Souls Banner so much.

Su Mu also knew that Liang Jinglue not only had the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he also practiced the Emperor of Heaven and Earth Art!

As the Imperial Master of the Demon Court, Liang Jinglue could obtain much more incense and blessings than a mere commander of the Taiping Division.

Su Mu simply couldn't imagine to what extent Liang Jinglue's Emperor Heaven and Earth Art had been cultivated.

Without any hesitation, clouds appeared under Su Mu's feet, and Su Mu gained another three points.

Turn around and fight?
Give me a break.

Not to mention that his physical strength and true energy are now extremely depleted. Even in his prime, he may not be a match for Liang Jinglue.

The sounds of ghosts howling behind him were getting closer and closer. Su Mu didn't even turn his head and drew his bow and shot an arrow.

The perfect archery skills finally came into play.

Even if you don't look back and use the sound to determine the location, the arrows will still hit the whistling ghost.

The arrows forged by Su Mu himself are even more powerful than Daxuan's magic-breaking crossbows.

The only drawback is that it’s expensive!

The cost of an arrow was even more than ten taels of gold.

This does not include Su Mu’s labor costs.

If even this is taken into account, it would be easy to sell an arrow for twenty or thirty taels of gold.

Speaking of which, although the quality of this arrow can be considered a Xuan Bing, it cannot be compared with the real Xuan Bing. It must be used in conjunction with a Xuan Bing hard bow to exert its power.

Therefore, this kind of arrow can only be forged by a weapon caster like Su Mu, and it has no value in promotion at all.

Even Su Mu only cast a hundred or so arrows for backup.

He himself did not expect that these arrows would play such a big role here.

If it weren't for these arrows, he might not have been able to defeat Madam Yuan and the three princes of the Demon Court.

It is the same now. If it were not for these arrows, he would have to engage in close combat with the ghosts on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Zheng! Zheng!
The sound of bowstrings continued, but Su Mu did not stop.

The ghost shadows behind him shattered one by one, but more ghost shadows emerged from the black clouds, and they were getting closer and closer to Su Mu.

Su Mu was secretly anxious and regretted why he didn't cast more arrows at the beginning.

Now there are only twenty or thirty arrows left in his storage ring, which are not enough to deal with the ghost shadows on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner behind him.

If this continues, he will definitely be haunted by these ghosts within ten miles.

These ghosts may not be very powerful individually, but there are too many of them.

Once you are entangled by them, you will probably never be able to return to Huju Pass.

What’s more, behind them is Liang Jinglue, the national master of the Demon Court!

This Demon Court's Imperial Master Liang Jinglue has most likely already cultivated the Emperor of Heaven and Empress of Earth Art to the state of integration.

How to fight this battle?
In the critical moment, Su Mu's mind worked quickly, but his actions did not pause at all.

Even if he knew he was no match for his opponent, he would never give up easily.

Until the last moment, it is still unknown who will win!

Su Mu's eyes flashed as he looked towards the direction of Huju Pass.

It is still two hundred miles away from Huju Pass.

The distance is two hundred miles. Under normal circumstances, with his speed, he can arrive in an hour at most.

But now, this distance seems so far away.

Liang Jinglue would never let him escape back to Huju Pass.

Besides, there are no strong men in the fusion realm in Huju Pass. Even if there is an Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation that can fight against those in the fusion realm, it requires advance preparation.

If we just take the Demon Court's Imperial Master back like this, Huju Pass may not have enough time to react, which would be a devastating disaster for Huju Pass.

As the thought flashed through his mind, a map appeared in Su Mu's mind.

Seventy-two blessed places!
It is also one of the seventy-two divine weapons!

Among the seventy-two locations marked on the map, one seems to be nearby!

In a head-on confrontation, Su Mu knew that he was definitely no match for Liang Jinglue.

If you can find one of the seventy-two divine weapons, you will have a chance to hide in the world within them.

Just like when I encountered the Black Tanhua.

The world inside the Divine Soldiers of Heaven was the Seventy-two Blessed Lands, and was the most suitable place for taking refuge.

With this thought in mind, Su Mu no longer hesitated. He turned a corner and ran in the direction away from Huju Pass.

Liang Jinglue was sitting on the black cloud. When he saw Su Mu start to move away from Huju Pass, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Following the direction Su Mu was running, Liang Jinglue showed a playful look on his face.

Does he want to escape into the Daxing Mountains and rely on the monsters there to survive?
There are indeed some monsters in the fusion realm in Daxing Mountain, and even Liang Jinglue is very afraid of those monsters.

but--

A sneer flashed across Liang Jinglue's eyes.

It is not so easy to escape into the Daxing Mountains.

He made a gesture with his fingers, black clouds rolled under him, and countless ghost shadows rushed out.

Su Mu had no expression on his face.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
He shot all the arrows in the storage ring out at once.

In an instant, more than a dozen ghost shadows were pierced by arrows.

Although they had no physical body, the power attached to those arrows still caused them great damage.

One phantom after another exploded and disappeared, but more phantoms continued to pounce towards Su Mu.

Su Mu's steps did not pause at all, and the power in his body surged out.

Vision, fire and thunder!
Fire rises from the ground and thunder falls from the sky.

The power of thunder and fire instantly condensed into a prison covering an area of ​​ten feet, imprisoning all the ghosts that were rushing over inside.

The ghost shadows that are being sacrificed in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner are yin objects and are being restrained by the power of fire and thunder.

The strange fire and thunder brought the power of fire and thunder to its fullest. The ghosts were trapped in the cage, and they tried to break through the cage, but when they touched the fence made of the power of thunder and fire, they screamed miserably, and black smoke rose from their bodies.

Some ghost images even disappeared on the spot.

With the help of this obstruction, Su Mu ran forward hundreds of feet, widening the distance between the two sides.

"At such a young age, you have mastered visions to this extent. No wonder you can ruin my plans."

When Liang Jinglue saw this scene, the murderous intent on his face became even more intense.

The more talented Su Mu was, the more he couldn't let Su Mu continue to live.

He's already so difficult to deal with now. In a few years, he will definitely become a thorn in my side.

Liang Jinglue stepped down from the black cloud, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the black cloud turned into a flag.

The flags are fluttering, and the gun heads on the flagpoles are extremely sharp.

He shook his wrist and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner pierced out like a spear.

The black dragon roared, and instantly shattered Su Mu's vision.

At the same time, a golden light shot out from between Liang Jinglue's eyebrows.

The golden light fell to the ground and in the blink of an eye turned into a nine-foot-tall golden body. Between the beard and eyebrows, he looked very much like Liang Jinglue.

The golden body of the Emperor of Heaven and Empress of Earth is nine zhang tall!
It is indeed the fusion realm!

Su Mu's heart sank.

Even though he had expected it, when Su Mu saw it with his own eyes, he still felt like he was falling into an icy cave.

A strong man in the fusion realm, or a man in the fusion realm in his prime.

call!
Without the slightest hesitation.

Su Mu summoned the two halves of the Divine Weapon City and smashed them towards the golden body behind him.

Although the City of Divine Weapons was cut in half, its foundation was still there.

After all, it is composed of hundreds of mysterious weapons. Even if some of them are damaged, the remaining ones are still extremely powerful.

That is to say, Su Mu's weapon-making skills are superb, otherwise even if he got the City of Divine Weapons, he would not know how to use it.

Under his control, the two halves of the Divine Weapon City swelled with the wind and instantly became several hundred feet in radius.

Liang Jinglue's nine-zhang-tall golden body seemed somewhat insignificant in comparison with the two halves of the City of Divine Weapons.

Liang Jinglue just snorted coldly.

The nine-zhang golden body threw out two punches.

Boom!

Two loud noises merged into one.

The two halves of the Divine Weapon City were blasted away by the nine-foot golden body. The city was covered with dense cracks, as if it would be shattered if touched casually.

The two halves of the Divine Weapon City flew far away, and no one knew where they landed.

Liang Jinglue's nine-zhang golden body strode forward, quickly closing the distance between him and Su Mu.

The golden statue is majestic and imposing, but it is surrounded by ghosts howling and crying. The whole scene is extremely contrasting.

Liang Jinglue is different from Su Mu.

He only followed the path of becoming a god through incense and worship, and cultivated his golden body to a height of nine feet. However, his original body was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person, and was not even as strong as that of a warrior in the realm of transcendence.

In other words, excluding the golden bodies of Heaven and Earth, Liang Jinglue himself can even be said to be just an ordinary person.

This is also the biggest weakness of the way of becoming a god through incense.

As long as someone gets hold of his golden body of Heaven and Earth, Liang Jinglue himself will become a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Therefore, Liang Jinglue sacrificed and refined the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

With the Ten Thousand Souls Banner protecting him, it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to him.

Of course, with Liang Jinglue's powerful Golden Body of Heaven and Earth, it was almost impossible to get close to him.

This was the only thought that flashed through Su Mu's mind.

If he were allowed to get close to Liang Jinglue, with his physique, he could easily pin Liang Jinglue to the ground and beat him up.

But in reality this is impossible.

Facing the nine-zhang-tall golden statue of Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth, Su Mu's only choice was to run for his life.

The earth shook and the deafening footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Su Mu has tried his best, but the distance between the two sides is still getting closer.

The long Daxing Mountains have appeared within Su Mu's field of vision, like a long dragon lying between the wilderness and the Great Xuan.

So close, yet so far away.

Even with Su Mu's determination, he felt a moment of despair.

With the speed of Liang Jinglue's Nine-foot Golden Body of Heaven and Earth, he would be able to catch up with him in a few breaths at most.

Once caught up...

This thought flashed through Su Mu's mind, and his eyes became firm again.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Strange Fire and Wind Cauldron!
The Strange Mountain Lei Yi!
Two strange phenomena broke out. A wall of earth surrounded by lightning rose up behind Su Mu, and at the same time, a giant three-legged tripod fell on his head.

Liang Jinglue sneered.

Su Mu was indeed the most talented person he had ever seen in his life. He had mastered so many visions at such a young age.

But, after all, he was too young and his cultivation was too low.

Even if he mastered the original sixty-four visions, facing absolute power, he could only struggle in his death throes.

boom!
The nine-zhang-tall golden body of the Emperor of Heaven and Empress of Earth collapsed the earth wall with one foot and smashed the huge tripod with one punch.

After the ferocious punch shattered the strange vision, its power did not stop and landed directly on Su Mu's back dozens of feet away.

Su Mu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body suddenly accelerated, and the distance was increased to more than a hundred feet again.

There was a flash of surprise in Liang Jinglue's eyes.

A strong warrior in the fusion realm should be able to kill a Nascent Soul warrior with a punch from a distance.

Su Mu's physique is really extraordinary. He can actually withstand a punch from his golden body.

Although the two visions dissipated some of his strength, Su Mu still survived his attack.

"With such talent, I really don't want to kill you. Unfortunately, you can't be used by me, so you can only die."

Liang Jinglue sighed, he slowly raised his hand, and the nine-zhang-tall golden body of Emperor of Heaven and Empress of Earth also raised his hand at the same time, strode over a distance of several dozen zhang, and punched Su Mu from behind through the air.

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from Su Mu's body, and strange visions appeared one after another.

But those visions were shattered one after another under the power of the nine-foot golden body.

There was a muffled sound.

The power of the nine-foot golden body fell on Su Mu's back.

In an instant, Su Mu's back exploded and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

He flew out like a kite with a broken string and landed in a jungle outside the Daxing Mountains.

Seeing this scene, Liang Jinglue did not show any joy on his face, but frowned slightly.

The nine-zhang golden body swept across the sky and violently crashed into the forest, blowing away the towering trees with a wave of its arms.

Only a pool of blood was left on the ground in the forest, but Su Mu had disappeared.

"You think you can get away with this?"

Liang Jinglue's figure was lifted up by a black cloud and appeared beside Jiuzhang Jin.

He snorted coldly, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner spread out. Countless ghosts rushed out, chasing from all directions in the sky and on the ground. (End of this chapter)
