The First Marquis of Daxuan

Deep in the Daxing Mountains.

The mountains and forests within a radius of several miles have been razed to the ground.

The monster cat's body became several feet in size.

It kept roaring, baring its fangs and waving its claws, and more than ten magical weapons were flying around it.

The five gravekeepers also kept shouting, launching all kinds of fierce attacks at the monster cat without reservation.

Fortunately, this is deep in the Daxing Mountains.

It doesn't matter even if the mountains collapse and the earth cracks.

If it were somewhere else, the city would probably have been destroyed and people would have died.

There was a hint of anxiety in the monster cat's cry.

It's very tiring to control so many divine weapons at the same time. If it goes on like this, it will be exhausted to death before the gravekeeper is killed.

If it wants to leave now, it can leave easily. These five gravekeepers will definitely not be able to stop it.

But it would be easy for it to leave, as there would be no hope for the Sky-Blocking Mirror.

And if it leaves now, Su Mu will be in danger.

Su Mu was in the process of forging an immortal weapon. If he was disturbed at this time, not only would the forging of the immortal weapon fail, he would also be injured.

If he is attacked by five gravekeepers at that time, he might die here today.

Even if the five gravekeepers cannot kill him, as long as they break the miasma, they can release the rest of the gravekeepers...

"Do you want me to shoulder such a big responsibility?"

The monster cat sighed to the sky, this was not something it should bear.

But now if it leaves, all these consequences will become its responsibility.

But it really shouldn't have to bear this.

"For a Heaven-Blocking Mirror, am I easy?"

The monster cat was in tears.

But when it thinks about how much it has invested, it feels that if it leaves now, all its previous investments will be wasted.

No!

Absolutely not!

It has never made a losing business in its life!

With a determined heart, the big cat monster went all out.

"If you can't even withstand this magical weapon of mine, then I will admit my loss and leave!"

The monster cat gnashed his teeth and said in his heart.

call!
It opened its mouth and suddenly spurted out a beam of white light.

It's too late, but it's soon.

The white light instantly turned into a flying knife only three inches long.

With a swish, the flying knife flew across a distance of hundreds of feet.

A gravekeeper had just swung his sword and slashed out a flash of light, when he saw the flying knife coming at him, he subconsciously blocked it with his sword.

There was a crisp jingle sound.

The sword light cut a gash on the monster cat's body, and blood splattered.

At the same time, the gravekeeper's sword broke in half.

He used all his strength to move sideways and finally avoided the fatal point.

But the flying knife still pierced through his right shoulder, bringing up a pool of blood.

"you--"

A look of fear appeared on the gravekeeper's face.

He watched the flying knife circle and attack again, and his heart suddenly panicked.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran.

The other four gravekeepers behaved in exactly the same way.

In just one breath, the five gravekeepers disappeared from the sight of the monster cat.

call!call!
The monster cat was breathing heavily.

The wounds on its body had healed, but the blood remaining on its fur showed how fierce the battle had just been.

The small three-inch flying knife circled around and flew back into the mouth of the monster cat in a show of force.

The monster cat put away all the other magical weapons, gasped for breath and spat.

"I can't scare you to death!"

The monster cat cursed, then it swaggered back to the gong.

"hey-hey!"

A creepy laugh echoed in the mountains and forests.

…………

Swish!
Five figures landed on the ground.

The five gravekeepers looked at each other, and unexpectedly they all felt like they had survived a calamity.

"The Immortal Slaying Flying Knife! It's actually the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife! What is the origin of this monster? How did it appear in the outer realm?"

A gravekeeper said in a deep voice, his voice trembling slightly.

The gravekeeper is no ordinary person.

Even when their arms were cut off outside Fubo City, they did not show the slightest sign of weakness.

But now, just a small flying knife could scare them like this.

The gravekeeper's body is like a dead tree and his heart is like dead ashes.

Normal things would never cause them to react like this.

"wrong."

The gravekeeper who was seriously injured by the flying knife of the monster cat suddenly frowned.

With a "puff", he tore off the clothes on his upper body, revealing the wound on his right shoulder that went through both front and back.

The muscles on the wound were wriggling and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The eyes of the other four gravekeepers also fell on his wound, and the expressions on their faces became somewhat ugly.

"be cheated!"

The four gravekeepers said in unison.

"I never thought that we would be deceived by a monster."

The gravekeeper on the hand was particularly angry and said with gritted teeth.

It wasn't until now that they reacted.

If it was a real Flying Knife that could slay immortals, the wound would have no chance of healing.

No, if it was a real Flying Sword that could slay immortals, he would have died the moment he was hit by the sword. There was no way he would still be standing here.

"It's just a replica."

The gravekeeper said coldly, "If it was the real Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, I would have told you long ago, and you wouldn't be able to escape."

"We have been asleep for too long, so our reaction is a little slow."

A gravekeeper reflected, "Such a simple trick actually fooled us both."

Such a crude trick could not have fooled them.

But their companions, more than sixty other gravekeepers were all trapped. How could an ordinary person do this?

They subconsciously felt that the monster big cat's strength was extremely terrifying.

Isn't it reasonable for a powerful and terrifying person who can trap more than sixty gravekeepers to have a flying knife that can slay immortals?

It can only be said that their thinking has entered a misunderstanding.

When they think that a person is extremely powerful, even if the other person is just holding a branch in his hand, they will subconsciously determine whether the branch is some kind of peerless magical weapon.

So when the monster big cat used a flying knife and injured one of them at once, their first reaction was that they had encountered the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

“Although it is not using a true Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, it has countless magical weapons in its hands, and its own strength is unfathomable.”

The five gravekeepers were silent for a long time, and then one of them slowly spoke, "If you want to release the others, you have to deal with it first."

"The miasma can only trap people, but cannot hurt them."

Another gravekeeper said, "Although the others are trapped, as long as we give them some time, they will be able to escape naturally. There is no need for us to worry about them.

We might as well think about the origin of this monster and why it came to the outside world.

If it's not coming for the Divine Soldiers, is it necessary for us to fight it to the death?"

The duty of the gravekeepers is to guard the seventy-two divine weapons, and they don't care about anything that is not related to this.

Therefore, no matter how much trouble there was in the world before, the gravekeeper never took action.

In the past, even if they encountered powerful monsters, they would simply drive them away and would not really spend too much effort to deal with those monsters.

They just had a battle with the monster big cat, and now they think it’s a bit confusing.

Now that they think about it, it was the other side that started the fight first. They had no idea who the other side was, so they ended up fighting with them and ended up suffering a loss.

"The miasma must have been created by this monster. Why would it want to trap other people?"

One of the gravekeepers said in a deep voice, "I'm sure it's coming for the Divine Soldiers of Heaven. Even if it's not, it has already taken the initiative to attack us gravekeepers, so we have no reason to let it go.

Besides, didn't you see who it was with?"

The other four gravekeepers were silent for a moment, then uttered two words in unison.

"Su Mu!"

"So, there is no need to discuss this. This monster must be killed."

The gravekeeper continued, "Also, since Su Mu has left Fubo City and is still here, let's get rid of him together."

"That monster is a bit difficult to deal with, so don't hold back."

The five gravekeepers discussed for a moment, then flew up at the same time and flew towards the place they had just escaped from.

…………

The monster cat was squatting in front of the gong.

It did not put away the gong.

The bronze gong still enveloped Su Mu and the Zhoutian Xuanji formation, protecting Su Mu from being disturbed by the outside world.

The monster cat's eyes were staring straight ahead.

Along with the sound of breaking wind, the five gravekeepers returned.

"How dare you come back?"

A thunderous purring sound came from the belly of the monster cat, and it spoke slowly, and the sound seemed to be accompanied by low thunder.

"I have shown mercy to you several times, do you really think I can't kill you?"

"You are just a monster, who are you trying to fool by pretending to be a ghost?"

A gravekeeper took the lead, holding a long knife, and attacked without saying a word.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
He slashed with his sword several times.

The knife flashed sharply and instantly reached the front of the monster cat.

"court death!"

The demon cat roared.

White light flew out of his mouth.

A shield swelled in the wind and instantly became several feet in size, blocking the opponent's sword.

at the same time.

A flash of white light shot out at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

"Flying knife!"

By the time the gravekeeper who was wielding the knife noticed the flying knife, it was too late to dodge.

Even though he was a powerful Return to Void Realm expert, the flying knife was too fast and he had just made a strike. Even if he could avoid the fatal wound, he would definitely be seriously injured by the flying knife like the gravekeeper before.

Although the flying knife used by this monster is not a real immortal-slaying flying knife, it is also a high-quality imitation. Even a strong man in the Return to Void Realm will find it difficult to avoid its sneak attack.

It's too late, but it's soon.

It seemed that the gravekeeper who was wielding the knife was about to repeat the same mistake and be seriously injured by the flying knife.

suddenly.

A streak of white light whizzed out from his armpit and hit the tip of the flying knife accurately at lightning speed.

boom!
There was a loud bang.

The force of the collision spread in all directions, pushing the gravekeeper back two steps.

The three-inch-long flying knife paused in the air for a moment, then flew back to the front of the monster cat.

The monster cat's pupils contracted and it cursed inwardly.

It saw clearly everything that had just happened.

Just when its flying knife was about to seriously injure the gravekeeper, another gravekeeper took the initiative to catch the flying knife for him.

The gravekeeper actually learned how to cooperate!

The monster cat suddenly felt that the situation had become extremely tricky.

A gravekeeper cannot avoid its flying knives, but if there is a gravekeeper who specifically targets its flying knives, the situation will be completely different.

damn it.

How come this outside world has become different from the outside world I know?

First, there was this monster called Su Mu.

Now the wooden gravekeeper has also learned to cooperate.

Could it be that these guys were provoked by Su Mu?

In the past, their strength was enough to sweep across the outside world, so naturally they didn’t need any cooperation.

But they were unlucky enough to encounter a monster like Su Mu. Not to mention fighting him alone, even if they sent out five or six people at once, they would still be defeated in the end.

If they don't learn to cooperate, won't they be defeated one by one?
When you defeat the enemy, you also give the enemy a chance to grow.

Therefore, when facing the enemy, you must not hold back and must kill them.

The demon cat complained in his mind, his hands kept moving.

Rays of light streaked across the sky and attacked the five gravekeepers.

The three-inch long flying knife was mixed in among them, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The five gravekeepers suffered a loss once, and they learned their lesson this time. They did not act rashly, but instead took steady steps, constantly reducing the activity range of the monster cat.

The realms of both sides are similar. Although the monster big cat has countless treasures and is slightly stronger than the gravekeeper, it cannot gain much of an advantage when it is fighting one against five.

Especially after the gravekeeper changed his playing style.

The five gravekeepers focused on both offense and defense, not giving the monster cat any chance to launch a sneak attack.

As time went on, the space the monster cat could move in became smaller and smaller.

Its hair was soaked with sweat, as if it had just emerged from the water.

It is also a huge burden for it to control so many magical weapons at the same time.

But if it does not rely on its magic weapon to suppress the enemy, and fights one against five in close combat, there will be no other possibility for it except to get beaten.

"Do you know who Master Mao is? If you dare to hurt even a hair on my head, I guarantee you will be in big trouble!"

The demon cat shouted loudly.

If it were someone else, they would probably have a few words with the monster cat.

But what kind of people are gravekeepers?

Their bodies are like dead wood and their hearts are like dead ashes.

For them, there is only one thing in life, and that is to guard the seventy-two divine weapons. Anyone who wants to take the divine weapons will be killed without mercy.

Apart from this, they don't care about anything else.

The origin of the monster cat was completely insignificant to them.

As long as they are sure that the monster cat is coming for the Divine Soldier of Destiny, then there is only one thing they have to do: kill it!

clatter! clatter!
The gravekeeper took another step forward. They had successfully trapped the monster cat within a radius of ten feet.

Several of the magical weapons of the monster big cat had also been knocked down by them.

The five gravekeepers held their magic weapons, and their attacks became more fierce, and they used their respective killer moves without reservation.

With the sound of sharp blades cutting fur, the monster cat had several wounds on its body.

"Just wait for me. I, Master Cat, will remember this account."

The demon cat screamed, "Sooner or later I will eat you all!"

No matter how harsh the words are, they cannot stop the gravekeeper.

The monster cat's eyes changed.

It finally decided to give up.

These five gravekeepers have grown smart and can't stop them.

Su Mu, ah Su Mu, it’s not that I, Master Cat, am disloyal, it’s just that the enemy is too powerful.

I have tried my best, but this time I even lost all my capital.

Let’s break up now and live our own lives.

The monster big cat said to himself.

Although it couldn't stop the five gravekeepers, it wanted to leave now and the five gravekeepers couldn't stop it.

When it comes to the ability to escape, it is unrivaled in the world.

You guys just wait for me, I will bite off your heads one by one to avenge Su Mu!
When the big cat monster thinks of this, it will use its ability to escape and flee thousands of miles away.

hum!
Before the monster cat could escape, a heavy bell sounded in its ears.

Immediately afterwards, the second bell rang.

In an instant, the ground shook.

The ground beneath its feet suddenly rose up, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a series of earth walls that separated the five gravekeepers.

The monster cat's eyes lit up.

The bell rings twice, and the mountains and rivers are forever stable!
This is the soul-calming bell!
The Soul-Calming Bell can make sound again, which means that Su Mu succeeded!

He successfully repaired the Soul-Calming Bell!

Seeing the mountains rising and turning into walls separating the five gravekeepers, the monster big cat also saw an opportunity.

Without any hesitation, it directly controlled its magic weapon and launched a sneak attack on the five gravekeepers.

Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
The three-inch long flying knife kept bringing up clouds of blood.

Although this flying knife is only a divine weapon, it is an imitation of the legendary flying knife that slays immortals.

Indeed, the power of this flying knife is not even one-tenth as powerful as the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, but it is by no means comparable to any ordinary magical weapon.

Even if you can't kill the gravekeeper, it's completely fine to cause some damage to him.

Especially now, they were separated by stone walls.

As the monster big cat attacked, the stone walls continued to grow.

In just a moment, a five-finger-shaped mountain seemed to appear at the spot.

Each mountain peak is thousands of feet high.

At first, the mountains were still shaking slightly, but as the mountains grew higher, the movement gradually disappeared.

But the five gravekeepers were unable to escape.

It only took a meal for the earth vein to rise up into a wall and for the wall to turn into a mountain.

The monster cat watched all this happen and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that it was indeed worthy of being the symbol of the Human Emperor.

The power of this soul-calming bell is truly terrifying.

A complete Soul-Suppressing Bell and an incomplete Soul-Suppressing Bell are completely different things.

He drew a prison on the ground, piled up the soil to make a peak, and suppressed five gravekeepers with a flip of his hand. What kind of power is this?

The monster cat couldn't help but licking its tongue. If it could steal the Soul-Calming Bell, it would not be a loss this time.

Just when the monster big cat had this thought, Su Mu's voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Brother Cat, can we put away this gong? Or are you planning to use it to trap me to death?"

Su Mu's voice gave the monster cat a fright.

What are you thinking?

Su Mu is a cunning guy, are his things so easy to steal?

As long as this kid doesn't die, who knows how much he will grow in the future?
The most important thing is that this kid is vindictive and holds grudges even more than Mr. Cat. If you steal his things, won’t that just be asking for trouble?
I have already invested so much, am I crazy now? To offend him?

"I don't mean to trap you. I just want to protect you."

The monster cat explained loudly. The wounds on its body that had begun to heal suddenly burst open. The blood instantly dyed its fur red. It looked extremely miserable.

"As you can see, there are still five gravekeepers who have escaped. I risked my life to prevent them from interfering with your repair of the Soul-Calming Bell.

I have never been injured so badly in my life. Look how much I am bleeding."

The monster cat waved its claws, put away the gong, and then walked in front of Su Mu.

Su Mu had already stood up, holding a small bronze bell-like treasure in his hand.

That was the Soul-Calming Bell that he had repaired using the spine of the Human Emperor.

A complete soul-calming bell!

The monster big cat looked at the soul-calming bell with envy.

Su Mu glanced at the miserable appearance of the monster cat and laughed in silence.

"Thank you very much."

he smiled.

Of course he knew that the monster cat's injuries were not as serious as they looked.

But at least the monster big cat did not abandon him, and he was grateful for the favor.

"Thanks to the inspiration given by your gong, I came up with the idea of ​​drawing a prison on the ground to trap the gravekeeper."

Su Mu said slowly.

The gong was originally used to attack people, but the monster cat did the opposite and used it to trap Su Mu.

The gong trapped Su Mu, so if an outsider wanted to attack Su Mu, he had to break the gong first.

The one who traps someone becomes the one who protects him.

The mountains and rivers of the Soul-Calming Bell are forever used for defense, using the power of the earth veins to protect the territory and resist foreign enemies.

But on the other hand, isn’t it equivalent to the people within the territory being trapped inside?

Su Mu used this method to suppress the five grave keepers with five mountains.

These five mountains are used to protect the five grave keepers, but at the same time, it is not easy for them to get out.

"mine--"

The demon cat asked expectantly.

suddenly.

Su Mu's body swayed and he actually fell to the ground.

"you--"

The demon cat was startled, "What's wrong with you?"

"fine."

Su Mu shook his head, "I've consumed too much mental energy, and I feel a little exhausted for a while.

Brother Cat, now is a good opportunity for you.

You want to kill me, I have no power to fight back."

"How is that possible!"

The monster cat rolled its eyes a few times, and reluctantly turned its gaze away from the soul-soothing bell.

The Soul-Calming Bell is indeed very tempting to it, but the temptation to make friends with Su Mu is even greater.

Although Su Mu is only in the Return to Void Realm now, he can use the Soul-Suppressing Bell now. If he accidentally becomes the Human Emperor in the future...

Even if we take a step back and assume that he won't make any further progress in the future, he is still an immortal military master.

The Immortal Weapon Master is also a popular commodity in the Holy Land of Taixu.

Who can refuse to have a good relationship with an immortal soldier?
The monster cat looked at Su Mu as if he was a rare treasure.

You can't judge a book by its cover. Who would have thought that this guy Su Mu is actually an immortal soldier!
I thought he was bragging before!

The monster big cat had never met such a young immortal weapon master in his life.

"What is our relationship? Have you forgotten that it was you who summoned me here?"

The demon cat said, "Am I the kind of cat who takes advantage of others' misfortunes?
You can rest assured, I am here, no one can hurt you."

It patted its chest with its paw to assure.

Su Mu nodded, and actually began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing.

The monster big cat really guarded Su Mu like a bodyguard.

A full day and night passed before Su Mu opened his eyes again.

He let out a long breath, and some color returned to his face.

But he still looked a little tired and weak.

Obviously, first he refined the magic weapon, and then used the Soul-Suppressing Bell to trap the five gravekeepers. Any one of these would be extremely exhausting, not to mention that he did two things in succession.

Even with his physique, it would take some time to fully recover.

"Brother Mao, this is the Heaven-Blocking Mirror you wanted."

Su Mu looked at the monster cat standing loyally in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and he spoke.

Before he finished speaking, he threw a small bagua mirror-like object to the monster cat.

The monster cat caught it with its two paws and a human-like smile appeared on its face.

"You really made it?"

The demon cat looked at the disc-like Sky-Blocking Mirror in his hand with great interest.

"Brother Mao, since you are so loyal, I naturally cannot be a slacker."

Su Mu smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. The Sky-Blocking Mirror is finally completed."

"That's great."

The demon cat couldn't help laughing.

The Heaven-Blocking Mirror can confuse the secrets of heaven. From now on, even those guys in the Taixu Holy Land who are good at deducing the secrets of heaven will not be able to figure out what they are doing.

With the Heaven-Blocking Mirror, if I want to hide my whereabouts, even the Heavenly Venerable will not be able to find me.

"Su Mu, you helped me a lot!"

The demon cat said seriously.

"Each each other."

Su Mu smiled and said, "If you hadn't protected me, if you hadn't provided so many auxiliary materials, this Heaven Covering Mirror would not have appeared."

"I won't say anything more. Our previous debt is written off."

The demon cat said seriously.

Su Mu showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Considering the nature of the monster big cat who is very greedy for money, it is not easy for him to say this.

You know, he owed the monster big cat a huge sum of money before, which was more than enough to exchange for a few magical weapons.

The monster cat is so generous?

"Row."

Su Mu was not a hypocritical person, he smiled and said, "In the future, whether it is forging weapons or refining pills, you can always find me if you need it."

Until now, the man and the cat have finally become close friends.

Even though they were almost inseparable in the past, both Su Mu and the big cat were wary and cautious of each other.

In the past, they both just used each other.

But after this incident, the interests between the two people were less and their friendship was more.

"Su Mu, you are now able to protect yourself, so I plan to leave for a while."

The monster big cat said.

"Leave for a while?"

Su Mu said with some surprise, "You want to go back to Taixu?"

The demon cat did not answer Su Mu's question, but continued, "I will lend you the miasma first. The power in it can easily trap these sixty-six grave keepers for a year or so.

After this period of time, I think you should be able to deal with them."

The Mi Tian Xian Miasma is its immortal weapon, and when it said it would lend it to Su Mu, it naturally meant to leave the Mi Tian Xian Miasma here.

Otherwise, if it took away the miasma now, the sixty-six grave keepers would be able to escape.

If the sixty-six grave keepers really escaped, even if Su Mu had the Soul-Calming Bell in his hand, he would definitely not be able to resist them.

Now sixty-six grave keepers have been trapped by the miasma, and five grave keepers have been suppressed at the foot of the mountain. Only one grave keeper who went to deal with the Demon Lord of the Demon Court is still active outside.

If it was just that one gravekeeper, Su Mu could handle it completely.

"What happened to you? Do you need my help?"

Su Mu asked with a serious expression.

The demon cat shook his head and said, “I can handle it myself.

I will come back to you."

"Well, take care of yourself."

Su Mu said, "Before we part, do you have anything else to say to me?"

"Remember, if you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood. You have already achieved some success in the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills. As long as you survive, you will be able to reach the top one day. Don't just fight and be brave.

The reason your lineage suffers is because of your impulsive character."

The monster big cat said.

"Do you think I'm an impulsive person?"

Su Mu smiled and shook his head and said.

"Although you don't seem to be an impulsive person, many times you will do things where the risks and benefits are not proportional."

The demon cat said, "I will even risk my life for some unrelated people."

The demon cat waved its claws.

"gone."

It soared into the air, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.

With the Sky-Blocking Mirror on him, Su Mu quickly lost his sense of the monster cat.

Su Mu had completely lost his sense of the monster cat, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Su Mu was used to the monster cat sleeping on top of his head, so he was a little uncomfortable when it suddenly left.

“I don’t know what it’s doing.”

Su Mu said to himself, he has known Monster Big Cat for some time, but this is the first time he has seen Monster Big Cat look so serious.

After thinking for a while, Su Mu shook his head.

He knew very little about the monster cat. Apart from knowing that the monster cat came from the Taixu Holy Land, he didn't even know the monster cat's name, let alone its origin.

So he couldn't guess anything at all.

But think about it, considering the strength and cunningness of the monster cat, it shouldn't be in any danger.

Even if there is real danger, it still has the Heaven-Blocking Mirror in its hand.

Su Mu forgot to tell the monster Big Cat that he had made some improvements to the Sky-Blocking Mirror.

In addition to the original function of the Sky-Blocking Mirror, Su Mu added a function of the Emperor taking over the calamity, using the luck of the human race carried by the Human Emperor's spine to resist the calamity. Each time it is triggered, the Sky-Blocking Mirror will have an additional crack. After three times, the Sky-Blocking Mirror will be completely destroyed.

This is the inspiration Su Mu got from the stand-in doll.

The Heaven Covering Mirror can protect the monster cat from three disasters. If the monster cat still gets into trouble, Su Mu can only say that it is God's will to destroy it. (End of this chapter)
