Tycoon War God

Desecration!

Shangguan Shiming never thought that this exiled immortal of the extreme realm, hidden within the Ancient Land, would seek out Lin Mu for such a reason!

She subconsciously looked toward Lin Mu, hoping he would provide an explanation. After all, the outcome of a battle between two exiled immortals of the extreme realm was unpredictable. Not to mention, Lin Mu would soon have to face an unknown number of Foundation Building Immortals.

Lin Mu showed no intention of explaining, his gaze as calm as still water.

Shangguan Shiming gritted her teeth and, for the first time, dared to speak on Lin Mu’s behalf. ”Mr. Qing Que, it was not my Master’s intention to destroy the Ancient Land Gate. Someone was trying to use the gate’s Formation to kill me, your humble servant. That is why my Master struck out in anger!”

Shangguan Shiming’s words were cleverly phrased. She implied that Lin Mu had destroyed the Ancient Land Gate in a fit of rage because someone was trying to kill her.

Fury sparked for the sake of a fair lady. This Mr. Qing Que, with his seductive but troublesome peach blossom eyes, clearly roamed the mortal realm for pleasure. He must be an amorous sort who could understand, right? Shangguan Shiming thought.

The man with the Peach Blossom Eyes suddenly smiled. ”You say you’re his servant girl?”

Shangguan Shiming blinked.

Peach Blossom Eyes laughed. ”If I’m not mistaken, you must be the captive who led the way for him, correct? If you were his servant girl, and he was willing to fly into a rage and break the gate to a minor world for you, why would he have you consume a Sky-Breaking Pill? That would only harm your future Foundation Establishment!”

Shangguan Shiming froze. She realized this man with the Peach Blossom Eyes was as slick as a ghost and not easily fooled. He had guessed her identity in an instant. The Foundation Building Immortals from the Four Seas Gate hadn’t noticed a thing.

”Are you finished?” Lin Mu asked, looking at Shangguan Shiming with a blank expression.

Shangguan Shiming shivered instinctively. ”Master, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have...”

She wanted to say more, but she saw Lin Mu wave his hand. Her vision blurred, and when the scene cleared again, she found herself outside the city.

”A minor punishment to teach a major lesson. Remember your place from now on!” Lin Mu’s voice suddenly echoed in her ears.

The next moment, a sharp pain shot through her, feeling as if a steel needle had been plunged into her brain. The agony was so intense she thought she might die from it. It took her more than a dozen breaths to recover. By then, her clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The first thing she heard upon regaining her senses was the sound of violent collisions from nearby. Looking up, she saw a giant palm scattering a sky full of peach blossoms.

”Hahaha, exhilarating! In my near-century of roaming the Ancient Land, this is the first time I’ve met an opponent who can match me. Take another of my attacks!”

Peach Blossom Eyes’ voice boomed with bravado. He pointed a finger, and countless crimson peach blossoms danced across the sky, descending upon the world.

The peach blossoms fell!

BANG! With a deafening explosion, a gash over ten meters long, carved by a sword, split the ground open. Each and every one of those peach blossom petals had been formed from Sword Qi.

Shangguan Shiming’s face paled, and she scrambled backward.

PFFT!

A single petal grazed her body, drawing a spray of blood.

The difference between the Tenth and Twelfth Layers of Qi Cultivation is only two levels, yet the disparity in strength is this vast?

Having advanced to the Tenth Layer of Qi Cultivation, she could contend with a Foundation Establishment expert. Shangguan Shiming had believed her strength was now considerable even among the Ancient Land Sects. She never expected that before Lin Mu and Peach Blossom Eyed Qing Que, she wouldn’t even be qualified to watch the battle, let alone participate.

”If this is all you have, then you can die!”

After a few exchanges, Lin Mu had already gauged the approximate strength of the so-called exiled immortals of the extreme realm from the Ancient Land Sects. Though they were both at the Twelve-Fold Towers realm, Peach Blossom Eyed Qing Que’s foundation was far less solid than his own. In comparison, Qing Que possessed only seventy to eighty percent of his combat power. And that was just the difference in the quantity of their True Qi.

If Dao Methods and Divine Skills are factored in, then the exiled immortals of the extreme realm from the Ancient Land are merely slightly stronger paper tigers. This realization left Lin Mu feeling rather disappointed. Exiled immortals of the extreme realm... The Ancient Land Sects’ boasts reach the heavens, but their strength is pathetic.

Peach Blossom Eyed Qing Que squinted, killing intent slowly radiating from him. ”Oh? Two exiled immortals of the extreme realm appearing in the same era? This is an unprecedented event in the Ancient Land! I wanted to spar with you a little longer, but since you’re in such a hurry to die, I will oblige you! I will show you what the extreme realm truly is, and what it means to be an exiled immortal!”

Qing Que’s eyes flashed with a crimson light, merging with the glow of the Peach Blossom Sword Qi. The next moment, the aura of the Sword Qi changed drastically, transforming from enchanting to grimly murderous.

When my blossoms bloom, all other flowers will die!

The peach blossoms now exuded an aura of peerless, absolute dominance.

BOOM!

Outside Heavenly Origin City, half a small mountain was engulfed by the peach blossoms and turned to dust.

Tens of miles away, four Foundation Building Immortals stood on their Flying Swords, gazing toward the battle between Lin Mu and Qing Que.

”Extreme Realm Consciousness! That’s the Extreme Realm Consciousness that has been lost to the Ancient Land Sects for five hundred years!”

”With Extreme Realm Consciousness, one can kill those of higher cultivation levels! As long as a target’s Divine Sense isn’t as strong as the exiled immortal’s, death is certain!”

”The unique Divine Skill of an exiled immortal of the extreme realm... it’s hard to say whether the memory is nostalgic or terrifying!”

”The one using the Peach Blossom Sword Technique is actually an exiled immortal of the extreme realm!”

”Why... why have we never heard of this person?”

All four of them wore expressions of pure shock. In the Ancient Land Sects, was there any exiled immortal of the extreme realm who wasn’t a shining figure, peerless from the moment they appeared? Yet this wielder of the Peach Blossom Sword Technique was completely unknown.

”And his opponent is the rumored Proud Son of Heaven from the secular world? How ridiculous! That’s no Proud Son of Heaven, he’s clearly another exiled immortal of the extreme realm!”

”Two great exiled immortals appearing at the same time... is this a blessing for the Ancient Land, or a disaster?”

”Two? Perhaps you’ve forgotten that Shangguan Shiming of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion is also a Banished Immortal Seed!”

”Three of them... This...”

The four men fell silent. They had no idea what the simultaneous appearance of three such figures meant for the Ancient Land.

”Who do we help?” one of the Foundation Building Immortals managed to ask.

The leader’s gaze swept between Lin Mu and Peach Blossom Eyed Qing Que.

”Help Lin Wudi! Kill Peach Blossom!”

Although Lin Wudi was an enemy of the Ancient Land Sects, he was ultimately just a man from the secular world. He had no sect, no faction, and no backing. A few Foundation Building Immortals could eventually overwhelm and kill him.

But the Peach Blossom exiled immortal was different. He bore no worldly air, clearly a native of the Ancient Land. Regardless of which sect he belonged to, his existence was not good for their All Wonders Immortal Sect. They did not want to see another sect rise to the prominence of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion two thousand years ago.

The four exchanged a look, then steered their Flying Swords and charged toward Peach Blossom Eyes.

Growing impatient, Lin Mu decided to use a killing blow. He prepared to unleash the eleventh form of the Twelve Forms of Slaying Gods and Demons and Punishing Immortals: the Immortal Slaying Sword.

Since he calls himself an exiled immortal, I will kill him with the Immortal Slaying Sword!

But just before he could strike, three turbulent auras rushed in from the distance. The frigid killing intent was completely undisguised.

BOOM! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Three factions, totaling thirteen Foundation Building Immortals, all acted with a single mind, launching their attacks at Peach Blossom Eyed Qing Que.

Lin Mu retracted his attack, a strange expression appearing on his face.

”Hey! Are you people mistaken? I’m not your enemy! That guy from the secular world is! He’s the one who broke the Ancient Land Gate!” Peach Blossom Eyed Qing Que yelled.

Unfortunately, the three factions paid him no heed.

Flying Swords, Flying Daggers, a Heaven-Flipping Seal, an Overlord Hammer...

Thirteen different Magic Artifacts, carrying a soul-shaking might, descended upon Peach Blossom Eyed Qing Que.
