Chapter 877 History Or Reality?
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The black figures were much taller than ordinary human beings. They were about three meters tall and thin, and their skin was covered with fine scales flashing with dark light under the sun. Each of them had a pair of wings growing from its armpits. They had facial features like those of human beings, but each of them had a pair of white fangs growing out of its mouth. These fangs were hooked, looked like the fangs of wild boars, and had different lengths. The longest fang was nearly half a meter, looking very strange and out of place.
“Are they the Extraterritorial Demons that the practitioners of many immortal sects fear so much?” Li Mu wondered.
“Awoooo!”
The black figure leading the charge was an Extraterritorial Demon that was nearly four meters tall. It was roaring wildly.
Its fangs were up to 1.5 meters long. It was holding long red broadswords in its four hands and wearing a suit of black armor, looking very ferocious. It should be one of the leaders of Extraterritorial Demons.
The two valiant leaders of the military camp named Wang Dehu and Zhen Menglong rushed forward like streams of light and killed countless Extraterritorial Demons in the blink of an eye.
Li Mu found that the blood flowing out of the bodies of those Extraterritorial Demons was as black as crude oil. When the blood fell on the stony ground, it made sizzling sounds and corroded the ground, creating pits and holes.
“This monster looks a little familiar to me. It seems to be an alien or an iron-blooded warrior in the movies on Earth.”
Li Mu was stunned for a moment.
“Hey, brat! What are you doing there? Hurry to the beacon tower and light the beacon!” The general on the execution platform shouted to Li Mu.
Li Mu knew the general was talking to him, but he had no idea where the beacon tower was.
He grew confused, glanced around, and saw a pile of firewood stacked atop a tall building of the enemy on the right side of the military camp’s wall. He wondered if that tall building was the beacon tower.
He thought for a moment and subconsciously tried to active the golden chains of Broadsword Intent and leap up. However, after he made several attempts, there was still no response from his broadsword.
He was greatly surprised.
“What’s wrong?
“Why isn’t the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword responding?”
…
Soon, he realized something and felt shocked. The Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword was not responding. Moreover, the Zhenwu Boxing, Xiantian Skill, and other forces in his body had all disappeared. Now, he only had the true energy of a practitioner at the elementary level of the Upper King Realm.
His current power was completely different from before.
His body felt like the body of a totally different person.
“Hurry up… Zhao Meng. Cover Li Mu while he goes to light the beacon,” the general shouted an order.
As he waved his hand, a long red spear flew over from the weapon rack in the distance and went into his hand. He rushed forward and thrust the long spear straight at the leader of Extraterritorial Demons.
The spear flashed with cold light.
It ripped through the air like a dragon.
“All soldiers follow me to resist the enemy and defend our home! Kill them!”
The general was much more powerful than Li Mu could imagine. Perhaps he was already a master in the Great Way Realm. As his long spear swept through the air like a dragon, numerous Extraterritorial Demons fell to the ground.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The deafening sound of the spear colliding with broadswords rang out.
The general engaged in a fierce fight with the leader of Extraterritorial Demons. Terrifying killing intent radiated from the battlefield.
“Li Mu, what are you waiting for? Let’s go.”
A bare-chested man who was wearing a suit of armor below the waist and had a strong aura and well-defined abdominal muscles came to Li Mu, grabbed his shoulder, leaped into the air, and flew toward the beacon tower with him.
This man should be Zhao Meng, who was mentioned by the general of the military camp.
“Golla, Woomacha!”
The leader of Extraterritorial Demons shouted something loudly.
Four beams of black light flashed through the sky.
They were four strong Extraterritorial Demons trying to stop the defenders from lighting the beacon.
“Go there.”
Zhao Meng threw Li Mu toward the beacon tower. Then, he pulled out two broadswords from his back and confronted the four strong Extraterritorial Demons alone.
Li Mu landed on the beacon tower, activated his natural qi, and lit the firewood.
Boom!
Flames rose up to tens of meters high.
A cloud of red smoke rose from the center of the flames into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it rose to a height of several thousand meters, and it was still rising, giving off dazzling lights.
It seemed that the firewood on the beacon tower was not an ordinary type of firewood, but a special kind of divine firewood used to send military messages.
Having lit the beacon, Li Mu wanted to lend a helping hand.
“Just stay there and protect the beacon.”
The general’s voice came from below.
Obviously, he had been paying a lot of attention to Li Mu.
However, Li Mu had been in a state of confusion.
He had no idea what was going on.
“Have I traveled through time?
“Is it just an illusion?
“That shouldn’t be the case.
“I can see the scene of fighting and the splashing blood, feel the surging killing intent, and hear the shrill screams. Moreover, I could feel it when Zhao Meng grabbed my shoulder just now. It’s definitely not an illusion.
“Everything just seems so real.”
Li Mu’s cultivation level and fighting ability had completely changed. Now, he was just an ordinary soldier of the Celestial Court in the Upper King Realm, and it seemed that he was the weaker one among the warriors in this military camp.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two Extraterritorial Demons broke through the encirclement, leaped onto the beacon tower, and charged at Li Mu.
“Watch out!”
Zhao Meng shouted loudly with his heart in his throat.
Li Mu pulled out a piece of burning divine firewood and rushed forward to engage the enemy. He was adapting to his new power. As the bronze-colored power of his divine runes swept through the air, he waved the divine firewood, found the flaws in the movement of one of the Extraterritorial Demons, and cracked the Extraterritorial Demon over the head. The Extraterritorial Demon fell off the city wall…
“Good job.”
Zhao Meng breathed a sigh of relief and cheered loudly when he saw what Li Mu did.
Li Mu had already regarded himself as a member of the ancient Celestial Court. He took action again and killed another Extraterritorial Demon.
Although he couldn’t use his Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword and other Cultivation Methods as he did before, his cultivation level was still high, and his natural Qi was no less powerful than before. He was just physically weak now. Moreover, he didn’t lose the combat experiences, intuitions, and skills that he had accumulated by fighting countless life-and-death battles along the way.
Therefore, by making just a few moves, he killed the two Extraterritorial Demons, whose cultivation levels were similar to his.
“Good job, Li Mu.”
“Ha-ha-ha, you usually look like a coward, but you have impressed us with what you’ve done today.”
“You’re really something, Little Mu. I apologize for what I’ve said to you before.”
The soldiers who were fighting hard below cheered loudly for Li Mu.
It was obvious that Li Mu’s position in this camp was a little special. He was probably a timid person and a burden to the others in the camp. However, they didn’t look down on him, but instead, they took good care of him.
The fierce battle continued.
The soldiers of the ancient Celestial Court took back the gate of the camp several times, but they were forced back by the swarming Extraterritorial Demons.
“What’s going on? There are so many Extraterritorial Demons. Have they seized the imperial palace?” Someone shouted loudly.
Li Mu had a bad feeling.
The beacon had been lit for so long, but he hadn’t seen any reinforcements of the ancient Celestial Court. He guessed that the ancient Celestial Court was probably running short of manpower.
He jumped onto the enemy’s tower to have a look.
He saw flames of war rising high into the sky above the battlefield and heard various howls and shouts coming from all directions… All these were signs of the fall of the ancient Celestial Court.
Things became clearer in his mind.
He vaguely understood that he was probably experiencing the doomsday war that broke out many years ago and resulted in the fall of the ancient Celestial Court.
“These hot-blooded young warriors fighting hard with the Extraterritorial Demons in front of me should be the dead bodies that I’ve seen in the desolate, abandoned camp, and the monstrous corpses should be those of the Extraterritorial Demons.
“Am I witnessing history?
“Why am I involved in this?”
Li Mu looked at the piece of burning divine firewood in his hand. He had just killed six or seven Extraterritorial Demons with this piece of firewood. It was not an illusion. He wondered if his action could change history.
Whooshing sounds rang out.
More Extraterritorial Demons rushed forward to attack the soldiers of the ancient Celestial Court.
Li Mu turned around and joined the battle. He killed one of the Extraterritorial Demons and snatched the Demon Broadsword from its hand. Then, he brandished his broadsword, and as the broadsword flashed, he killed several Extraterritorial Demons, who fell off the city wall.
“Is he still the Little Mu that we know?”
“He’s awesome.”
“What broadsword skill is that?”
Many soldiers of the ancient Celestial Court were astonished to see what was happening.
Li Mu knocked down several more Extraterritorial Demons while thinking about some unanswered questions.
For a moment, no Extraterritorial Demon could stop him.
Swoosh!
A shadow of broadsword flew straight towards him.
It was the broadsword thrown by an Extraterritorial Demon. The broadsword carried the overwhelming power that Li Mu could neither understand nor resist.
“Am I going to die?”
“Watch out!”
Zhao Meng flew over to protect Li Mu in the air.
Puff!
He tried his best to block the attack, but he was not powerful enough to succeed. The broadsword pierced through his heart and nailed him to the wall of the enemy’s building.
“Mr. Zhao, my brother…”
Li Mu was deeply grieved. Having escaped the disaster, he came to his senses and knocked down two Extraterritorial Demons in a row. Then, he came to the foot of the enemy’s building to save Zhao Meng.
Zhao Meng looked up and saw rising smoke around him. He understood something.
“Bro, just go. Get out of here,” he said to Li Mu.
His eyes were full of despair.
He kicked the stone wall with his feet, freed himself from the long broadsword, rushed into a group of Extraterritorial Demons swarming through the gate of the camp, and then exploded. With his last bit of strength, he took back the gate from the hands of the Extraterritorial Demons.
“Close the gate.”
The senior general of the camp shouted and thrust his spear with all his strength at the leader of Extraterritorial Demons in close combat with him. The leader of Extraterritorial Demons had lost its broadsword, so he seized the opportunity and killed it. Finally, the gate of the camp was closed.
By this time, more than half of the soldiers in the camp had been killed or injured.
The two brave warriors named Wang Dehu and Zhen Menglong died in the charge to take back the gate.
The gate was closed now.
The Extraterritorial Demons in the camp were soon wiped out.
The senior general stood on the steps in front of the stone gate, and his eyes swept over every bloodstained soldier. Then, he said, “I’ve just received a message from the marshal. The imperial palace… has fallen. The Imperial Lord has issued an order requesting all troops to break out of the encirclement!”
The crowd went incredibly silent.
In the next second, cries rang out.
Some warriors of the ancient Celestial Court went all out to kill the invaders, even though their bodies and limbs were broken or injured. However, when they heard this message, they couldn’t help crying.
Over the years, the ancient Celestial Court had been in a troublesome situation and fighting endless wars. Many peers and old friends of the soldiers and subjects of the ancient Celestial Court had died on the battlefields. Nevertheless, all the soldiers and subjects believed that as long as the Imperial Lord, the Queen, and the imperial palace were still there, the Celestial Court would always exist and never fall.
However, the imperial palace had been destroyed.
