227: Martial God

Chapter 225 Martial God

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Xu Mujun took a step forward, and it was as if a massive mountain had appeared in the Void Realm, continuously pressing downward.

The White Lotus Sect members who blocked his path were pressed to the ground one by one, unable to break free no matter how they struggled.

Behind him, however, the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Longxiang Army faced no restrictions at all and were able to move freely.

"What happened?"

"Why did all the rebels fall down?"

"It, it's the Great General!"

"General Xie said that General Xu has advanced to the Martial God Realm!"

"Martial God? What kind of Realm is that?"

"It seems… it seems to be above the Innate Realm!"

"That's not right! The Great General once explained to us that above the Innate Realm is spirit communication. And the Martial God… is above spirit communication!"

"The Martial God Realm!"

"The Great General!"

"Quick, quickly capture these rebels…!"

Countless exclamations came from within the Longxiang Army.

From the lowest foot soldiers up to the deputy generals and Xu Mujun's clansmen, everyone looked at that retreating figure in shock.

Xie Jiuque stared fixedly at Xu Mujun's back, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"The Great General once said that the most crucial part of advancing to the Spirit Communication Realm is finding one's own martial dao belief."

"One must continuously temper one's own belief, train one's spirit to the ultimate extreme, and then one can influence the surrounding heaven and earth, and even comprehend the rules."

"Using one's own spirit to connect with the rules of heaven and earth is known as spirit communication."

"And the Martial God…"

Xie Jiuque's pupils constricted once more.

Because he saw… the armor on General Xu becoming increasingly crimson.

That lost left arm was actually growing back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, it transformed into a real arm!

This is… Rebirth from a severed limb!

"Martial God! Is this the Martial God Realm!"

"One's own martial dao will can change the surrounding heaven and earth, and even alter the rules of heaven and earth."

"Within a square inch, a single person can rival a whole nation!"

Xie Jiuque's mind was shaken violently, and in his pupils at this moment, there was only Xu Mujun.

It was as if between heaven and earth, there was only the figure of Xu Mujun alone.

"Martial God, Martial God…"

"General Xu's martial dao will is to guard the home and defend the country, protect Great Yu, and save the common people of the world!"

Xie Jiuque muttered, "Then… what is my martial dao will?"

On the chaotic battlefield, Xie Jiuque actually fell into hesitation, staring blankly at Xu Mujun's figure, not knowing what he was thinking.

"General Xie!"

A personal guard quickly ran over, snapping him out of his thoughts.

He quickly snapped back to his senses and asked, "What is it?"

"Wherever General Xu goes, all the White Lotus Sect members collapse to the ground, as if pressed down by some heavy object… What should we do?"

Xie Jiuque had followed Xu Mujun for two years already. With his Innate Realm martial dao cultivation, he could have long since led an army independently.

However, he willingly stayed within the Longxiang Army to be at Xu Mujun's beck and call.

Furthermore, the many soldiers in the Longxiang Army held Xie Jiuque in high esteem.

Now that Xu Mujun had fallen into a state of Epiphany, the surrounding Longxiang Army began to obey Xie Jiuque's orders.

After a brief thought, Xie Jiuque said, "Our army is an isolated force, and this trip is to annihilate the White Lotus Sect rebels; we cannot linger here for long."

"All White Lotus Sect members who have fallen to the ground but still hold Sharp Weapons, kill them!"

"Those who glare angrily, kill them!"

"Those who hurl curses, kill them!"

"Those who are die-hard members of the White Lotus Sect, kill them!"

"As long as they harbor hostility toward our Longxiang Army, the elderly, women, and children can all be killed!"

"Do you understand?"

The personal guard immediately said, "Subordinate obeys!"

"Those holding Sharp Weapons, kill!"

"Those glaring angrily, kill!"

"Those hurling curses, kill!"

"Those who are die-hard members of the White Lotus Sect, kill!"

Order after order was passed down, and the numerous Longxiang Army soldiers immediately raised their butcher knives once more.

Anyone who had fallen to the ground still holding Sharp Weapons, glaring angrily at the Longxiang Army, or hurling curses was executed without hesitation!

Only those who proactively threw away their weapons and knelt to surrender could escape with their lives.

Soon, another order came from Xie Jiuque's mouth.

"Those wearing white headscarves, regardless of whether they are old, weak, women, or children, kill them all!"

"Throw the white headscarf to the ground and spit on it, and you may be spared your life!"

Wearing a white headscarf was the sign of a White Lotus Sect member.

To still keep the white headscarf in such a situation meant they were definitely die-hard members of the White Lotus Sect.

Only by throwing away the headscarf and spitting on it could they prove they were ordinary commoners bewitched by the White Lotus Sect.

Soon, as this order was issued,

some White Lotus Sect members collapsed on the ground hastily tore off the white headscarves on their heads, spat on them repeatedly, and then knelt to beg for mercy, wanting only to save their lives.

Furthermore, this action had to be fast; for any White Lotus Sect member who was even a breath too slow, what awaited them was the long sabers of the Longxiang Army.

But there were also quite a few people—even those who had already been spared by the Longxiang Army—who clung desperately to their white headscarves and refused to let go.

Toward these people, the Longxiang Army showed no mercy either, slashing down with a single saber strike.

The loyal believers of the White Lotus Sect and the ordinary commoners bewitched by them were quickly sorted out.

Part of them were dragged away for centralized processing, while another part was directly executed!

With Xu Mujun joining in, the situation in Guangqing City quickly stabilized.

The East City, North City, and West City were all occupied by the Longxiang Army, leaving now only the South City, which was the core area of the White Lotus Sect!

South City.

Countless White Lotus Sect members crowded together in a bustle; some people wanted to rush out to kill the enemy and sacrifice everything for the Eternal Mother.

While others were squeezing inward, wanting to flee for their lives.

Tens of thousands of believers were actually crammed together at this moment, causing extreme chaos.

"Quickly make way! The Eternal Mother is above, grant me Divine Power to slay the imperial court's lackeys!"

"Ghost! A ghost! Run!"

"What on earth is happening?!"

"Damn it!"

Lian Ninger brought more than a dozen Jianghu experts and rushed over rapidly. Seeing the chaotic crowd, anger rose up inside her.

She immediately grabbed a believer retreating from the front and leaped onto a nearby rooftop, asking angrily, "What on earth happened?"

"Ghost, a ghost…"

This believer still had a panicked look in his eyes, repeating those words.

Lian Ninger directly slapped him a few times, which finally brought him back to his senses.

"Tell me, what on earth happened ahead?"

"Saint… Saint!"

Looking at the White Lotus pattern embroidered on the chest of Lian Ninger's clothes, the believer panicked and said, "The imperial… the imperial court's army has a ghost, there's a ghost…"

"What ghost?"

"Lian Ninger!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and more than a dozen Saints who had accompanied her had already leaped onto the surrounding rooftops.

They looked into the distance in shock, as if they simply couldn't believe their eyes.

"What happened?"

Lian Ninger furrowed her brows slightly and instinctively looked in the direction everyone else was gazing.

She saw that within Guangqing City, a figure draped in crimson armor was walking forward slowly.

The fanatical expressions of the White Lotus Sect members surrounding him suddenly froze after they got within a kilometer range of him.

Their originally fanatical expressions turned blank, which then transformed into doubt, and finally into terror.

Quite a few loyal believers of the White Lotus Sect were the same!

Even some people collapsed to the ground along with the advance of this crimson figure, and some whose spirits were weak simply fainted directly.

"Who is he?"

"What on earth happened?"

"Are there Cultivators among the imperial court's army?"

Lian Ninger asked three questions in a row, and a tall male White Lotus Saint beside her hesitated and said, "That person seems to be… Xu Mujun?"

"Xu Mujun!"

Lian Ninger's eyes lit up abruptly: "That person the Holy Mother mentioned, the commanding general of the imperial court's grand army!"

"Quickly invite the deities, kill him!!!"
