Chapter 837
Two Golden Men
Su Mu unleashed a punch.
Amidst the deafening explosion, a massive black shadow fled in panic, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Su Mu did not give chase, but calmly looked around.
The murky river is gone, and so is the bridge over it.
The surrounding area was a state of chaos.
In Su Mu's hand, however, was a sharp ivory tooth.
This is what he just broke off from the mouth of that giant beast.
The giant beast conjured up rivers, bridges, and gates.
If Su Mu had just stepped through those two doors, it would have been as if he had been swallowed up by the other side.
Fortunately, Su Mu saw the problem in advance and acted decisively.
Not only did he break one of the opponent's teeth, but he also made the opponent flee in panic.
"Lu Yin did not warn me of the existence of this giant beast."
Su Mu pondered to himself, "Moreover, the Great Qian Dynasty probably hasn't discovered the existence of this giant beast either."
Otherwise, given Emperor Qian's skill, he would not have allowed this giant beast to exist.
Anyone could see that this giant beast was likely related to the Dragon and Tiger Treasure.
This piqued Su Mu's curiosity.
No one else had ever seen this giant beast before, so why did he encounter it as soon as he arrived?
Could it be that he has a special connection with this giant beast?
Su Mu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
Since we're destined to meet, then don't hide from me.
He strode forward, and with one step, his figure traversed an unknown distance.
A bloodcurdling scream rang out from the chaos.
Immediately afterward, a dark figure fled in panic, with Su Mu in hot pursuit.
This scene repeats itself repeatedly.
After several attempts, Su Mu finally subdued the giant beast.
Only then did Su Mu get a clear look at the other party's full appearance.
It was a colossal beast, like a whale, that could swim and traverse freely in the chaos.
Its body is thousands of feet in size, and it possesses the power of mountains and seas before it twists.
However, it was unable to struggle against Su Mu's monstrous strength.
Su Mu stomped on the opponent's back, the force of which destroyed the opponent's life force.
Su Mu did not hesitate at all when faced with a giant beast that wanted to devour him.
While suppressing and killing the opponent, Su Mu raised his hand and forcefully extracted the opponent's soul.
Under his incomparably powerful divine sense, all the memories in that soul were stripped away.
For a powerful expert like Su Mu, there is no need for torture to uncover a person's secrets.
If you're ruthless enough, you can directly search the other person's soul.
Under the Soul Search, no secret can be hidden.
Su Mu generally doesn't like to use this method.
Soul searching is not a pleasant experience for the caster either.
After all, soul searching is equivalent to personally experiencing the other person's memories, and who knows what kind of messy things are in those memories.
Fortunately, this behemoth's memory is very simple.
Aside from sleeping and eating, there was almost nothing else.
Moreover, the other party is asleep most of the time.
That is why Lu Yin and the people of the Daqian Dynasty had never encountered it before.
The reason it plotted against Su Mu was quite simple.
It sensed a delicious aroma from the sheep.
This left Su Mu speechless.
In the eyes of a giant beast, he had become a delicious meal.
The moment the thought crossed Su Mu's mind, he understood.
The delicious aroma that the giant beast sensed must be from the primordial remains on its body.
The primordial remains are a highly nourishing substance for both humans and demonic beasts.
Unfortunately, this giant beast was in a state of confusion and did not understand that it could not possibly take advantage of a Primordial Realm expert.
"If I have the chance in my next life, I'll try to be smarter."
Su Mu said calmly, and then flicked his fingers.
A massive sword light had already struck the giant beast's corpse.
With a whoosh.
The giant beast's carcass was split in two.
Blood flowed down, and internal organs were scattered all over the ground.
Su Mu didn't even glance at the valuable flesh and blood, but instead focused his gaze on a bright, snow-white bead, about the size of a human head, that was protruding from the flesh and blood.
The bead was completely shiny and spotless, like a pearl magnified dozens of times.
This is something similar to a demon core, born from the body of a giant beast.
Its most distinctive feature is that it forms its own space!
Back then, the top expert in the Dragon Tiger Small World plundered the resources of the entire world and fed a portion of them to this giant beast.
The giant beast hid the supplies inside its demon core.
Su Mu reached out and grabbed the demon core in his hand.
His divine sense instantly probed into it, and he immediately saw countless rare and precious materials.
Before he could even feel happy, he had already put the demon core away.
Now is not the time to be happy.
Because he saw something else in the giant beast's memories.
Back then, that top expert only placed a portion of the resources inside the giant beast's inner core.
He used most of the supplies elsewhere.
Just as Su Mu looked up.
suddenly.
The chaos above their heads began to violently churn, forming an enormous vortex.
An incredibly powerful aura emanated from within the vortex.
…………
The moment Su Mu looked up, Lu Yin, who had been watching over him, suddenly opened his eyes.
The next moment, Lu Yin had already soared into the sky.
As Lu Yinfei flew into the air, other figures also soared into the sky.
Among those people were natives of the Dragon Tiger Small World, as well as powerful individuals sent by the Great Qian Dynasty to guard the area.
They all flew into the air and looked down in horror.
The earth trembled violently, and enormous figures slowly emerged from underground.
Each of those figures was a hundred feet tall, their bodies radiating a faint golden light, as if they were cast in bronze.
They exuded an overwhelming aura, and the moment they appeared, the world changed color.
There were twelve of these figures in total, appearing in various directions of the Dragon Tiger Small World.
They slowly emerged from underground, and once they were all standing on the ground, their auras merged together, instantly enveloping the entire Dragon Tiger Small World.
Rumble!
A thunderous sound came from the sky.
The twelve golden figures opened their eyes simultaneously, and beams of golden light shot out from them.
The next moment, the gaze of a golden figure fell upon the powerful figure in the air.
He flickered and vanished into thin air.
Immediately afterwards, he appeared in front of a powerful figure.
With just one punch, the expert whose cultivation had reached the Dao Source Realm was blasted to pieces.
Amidst the flying blood and flesh, the golden figure charged into the crowd.
Even in front of Lu Yin, a golden figure appeared and threw a punch.
Lu Yin retaliated with a punch, the powerful impact causing the golden man to take a step back.
Lu Yin's face showed shock. He was a pseudo-Primordial Realm expert, and even an ordinary Dao Extreme Realm expert couldn't withstand the power of that punch.
But the golden statue caught it with ease, without being damaged in the slightest.
Moreover, the opponent's strength was so great that Lu Yin felt his arm go numb.
Lu Yin looked around and saw that the twelve golden figures were chasing and killing martial artists.
Every martial artist, regardless of their level of cultivation, became their target.
Those with high cultivation levels were fine, but those with low cultivation levels were crushed into mincemeat with a single stomp.
These twelve golden figures only kill martial artists. Ordinary people tremble and lie prostrate on the ground, but the figures ignore them and do not kill them.
While engaging the golden statue that had its eyes on him, Lu Yin also kept an eye on his surroundings.
Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, he felt that the current situation was inextricably linked to Su Mu.
The current situation arose because Su Mu entered the Great Array of Heaven.
Lu Yin absolutely refused to believe that the matter had nothing to do with Su Mu.
The Dragon Tiger World has existed for so many years, and nothing like this has ever happened before.
With such a huge commotion, it's impossible to avoid alerting the Great Qian Dynasty.
Lu Yin was somewhat worried because Su Mu had not yet come out.
No one knows what happened to Su Mu.
boom!
Slightly distracted, Lu Yin was punched in the body by the golden man.
The powerful force sent Lu Yin flying like a kite with a broken string.
It crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
The ground was smashed into a deep, bottomless crater.
Lu Yin flew out somewhat disheveled, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. He was both ashamed and angry.
Unexpectedly, he, who was already at the pseudo-Primordial Realm, was injured by this golden man!
These golden figures were clearly not made of flesh and blood; they could not even be considered living beings, but were merely inanimate objects similar to puppets.
Being injured by such a being infuriated Lu Yin.
He let out a low shout, and a tremendous aura suddenly erupted from his body.
Just as he was about to unleash all his power to destroy his opponent, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
Lu Yin was startled.
During the battle, someone got close to him without him noticing.
The other person's hand was even on his shoulder.
Doesn't this mean that if the other party wanted to ambush him, they would have already succeeded?
He turned around abruptly, instinctively ready to retaliate.
His arm was already raised, but he abruptly stopped in mid-air.
The owner of that hand was none other than Su Mu.
“Senior Lu, these twelve golden men are the Dragon and Tiger Treasure Trove. We can’t just destroy them like this.”
Su Mu looked at the golden man charging towards him and said calmly.
"The Dragon and Tiger Treasure? Them?"
Lu Yin's face showed surprise.
"That senior amassed resources from all over the world and crafted twelve golden statues as the power to protect the Dragon Tiger Small World."
Their mission is to prevent any martial artists from appearing in the Dragon Tiger Small World.
Su Mu said, taking a step forward and unleashing the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, engaging the golden man in battle.
Lu Yin was stunned.
No martial artists are allowed to appear?
No wonder these twelve golden figures attacked the martial artists like crazy as soon as they appeared.
It turns out they really did intend to eliminate all the martial artists within the Dragon Tiger Small World.
Seeing that the other eleven golden figures had already begun their massacre.
The Great Qian Dynasty sent only one Dao Extreme Realm expert to guard this place; the strongest others were only at the Dao Source Realm.
They were utterly and decisively defeated by the powerful Jurchens.
The native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World were even worse off.
In a very short time, the Dragon Tiger World has become a bloodbath.
Lu Yin didn't care about the lives or deaths of the warriors in the Great Qian Dynasty.
He even felt a sense of joy.
After all, he and the Great Qian Dynasty were enemies, not friends.
However, seeing the native warriors of the Dragon Tiger Small World being slaughtered so frantically, a pang of pity still flashed through his heart.
He felt even more distressed when he saw martial artists at the Core Formation Realm, True Essence Realm, and even Qi and Blood Realm being killed.
In his view, these martial artists had not done anything wrong.
Just because they are martial artists, does that mean they deserve to die?
Just because that top expert thought martial artists were the source of chaos, he could make the Dragon Tiger Small World devoid of martial artists?
He scoffed inwardly.
Seeing that Su Mu was locked in a fierce battle with the golden statue and was holding his own, Lu Yin knew that Su Mu did not need his help.
With a sway of his body, Lu Yin was already on the ground.
He punched a golden man, blocking it, and shouted loudly to the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World who were being chased by the golden man.
"Hide behind me, all of you, and I'll lead you away from here!"
Lu Yin displayed his divine power, emanating a violent aura, and stood in front of the golden man without retreating an inch.
In other words, Su Mu said that the golden statue should not be destroyed easily, otherwise he would have already taken drastic measures.
Although he couldn't deliver the fatal blow now, he still managed to hold off the two golden figures with all his might, giving the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World a chance to survive.
Upon witnessing this scene, the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World, who were being slaughtered and crying out for their mothers, desperately hid behind Lu Yin.
The Jurchens who were chasing them were naturally brought before Lu Yin as well.
Although Lu Yin was a pseudo-Primordial Realm expert, he could barely hold his own against two golden figures at the same time.
He was already finding it difficult to resist the three golden statues.
When the four golden figures appeared in front of him, he began to retreat continuously.
Although the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World were also helping him resist, their cultivation levels were too low, so they couldn't play a significant role.
Su Mu noticed Lu Yin's condition and shook his head helplessly.
He had long known that Lu Yin, the sect leader of the Yanfu Sect, had a somewhat... to put it nicely, he was compassionate; to put it bluntly, he was overly sentimental.
However, only someone with this kind of personality could gather together those warriors whose homes had been destroyed by the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, with this kind of personality, it's no wonder that Lu Yin always suffered setbacks when he fought against someone like Emperor Qian.
But it is precisely because of this personality that Su Mu trusts Lu Yin so much.
If it weren't for his kind-hearted nature, Su Mu would have already found a way to completely expel him from the Yanfu Sect, and there would be no way he would have helped him break through to the Pseudo-Primordial Realm.
Seeing Lu Yin risking his life to save the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World, Su Mu felt both helpless and somewhat admiring.
He himself couldn't do that.
He might risk his life for his own people, but he would never put himself in danger for a group of complete strangers.
But Lu Yin did it.
Lu Yin had no connection with the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World. In fact, the Dragon Tiger Small World was under the rule of the Great Qian Dynasty, and these people could be considered their enemies in a sense.
But seeing these people being slaughtered, Lu Yin couldn't help but step in to help.
Su Mu didn't care about the lives of the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World, but he couldn't ignore Lu Yin's life or death.
Seeing that, apart from a few golden figures chasing after warriors of the Great Qian Dynasty, all the other golden figures were led to Lu Yin by the native warriors of the Dragon Tiger Small World, Su Mu couldn't help but sigh.
The next moment, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he stomped heavily on his foot.
Rumble!
The mountains and earth veins of the Dragon Tiger Small World began to tremble violently.
Su Mu let out a long roar and raised his hands.
His movements were slow, as if he were lifting a mountain.
As he moved, streaks of white light, like long whips, suddenly rose from the ground.
The beams of light shot out suddenly, instantly binding the hands and feet of the golden figures.
The golden man roared angrily and flailed his arms and legs.
The clanging sound of metal echoed in the air.
They tore off one bright thread after another, but the next moment, more bright threads wrapped around their hands and feet, trapping them in place.
Lu Yin seized the opportunity and protected the native warriors of the Dragon Tiger Small World as they retreated continuously.
He looked up at Su Mu.
Su Mu stood in mid-air, his hands forming hand seals, his expression extremely serious, as if he were wrestling with those golden men.
Su Mu's forehead was covered in large beads of sweat, which dripped down in a steady stream.
Lu Yin felt a little guilty. Su Mu was able to fight a single golden man with ease, but because of his momentary soft heart, he had managed to entangle so many golden men.
Judging from Su Mu's appearance, he was clearly struggling.
"Those who don't want to die, leave this world immediately!"
Lu Yin roared at the native warriors of the Dragon Tiger Small World, then charged towards the golden men without looking back.
The native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World looked at each other in bewilderment.
Should we leave this place?
They want to, but they also need the ability.
Not every martial artist has the ability to break free from the constraints of heaven and earth and travel to a wider world.
"senior--"
They looked around and saw that the powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty were too busy to help themselves; only Lu Yin could save their lives.
"If you don't want to die, follow my orders."
Just then, a voice rang in the ears of all the martial artists at the same time.
Lu Yin, in mid-air, turned around and shouted, "Obey my orders!"
Previously, Lu Yin risked his own safety to save them.
They now trust Lu Yin.
Upon hearing Lu Yin's words, the martial artists roared in unison.
"Our superiors ordered us to fight them to the death!"
Although these native warriors of the Dragon Tiger Small World did not know what was happening, they were well aware that these golden men wanted to kill them.
If it weren't for Lu Yin, they would have already died at the hands of the Jurchens.
If they cannot defeat these golden men, they will all die.
In this situation, how could they possibly care about anything else?
The Great Qian Dynasty?
Go to hell.
Didn't you see that the powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty only cared about escaping for their own lives and didn't care about their lives at all?
"Three thousand miles to the southwest, five thousand warriors went."
Su Mu's expression was serious as he spoke in a deep voice.
boom! boom! boom!
The muffled thuds continued as the Jin people struggled to break free of their restraints.
Su Mu persisted with all his might, speaking at a faster pace.
“Ten thousand warriors will go from five thousand miles to the northeast.”
"One thousand miles to the southeast, three thousand warriors."
"Eight thousand miles to the northwest, six thousand warriors."
"The Qian and Kun positions, eight thousand warriors."
"Once you are in position, lend me your strength!"
Su Mu's voice echoed in everyone's ears, and the martial artists sprang into action.
Almost simultaneously with the events unfolding in the Dragon-Tiger Small World, Emperor Qian immediately received the report. (End of Chapter)
