Da Xuan Martial Saint

"Qiankun Eight Phases, you are Chen Mu from the Seven Profound Sect!"

Finally, a commander from the foreign race recognized Chen Mu's identity, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

Although Chen Mu had not used the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal just now, he still summoned the light of Qiankun Eight Phases. To the experts of the Five Organ and Viscera Realm from the foreign race, it was still clearly identifiable.

Chen Mu from the Seven Profound Sect, third on the Wind Cloud List of Cold North!

Even though he was not a Grandmaster, reaching this level meant his strength was indeed comparable to a Grandmaster's. When the formation of three hundred Elite Cavalry charged, even slightly weaker Grandmasters would exercise extreme caution and not confront it head-on. Only a figure like Chen Mu would be so arrogantly courageous, directly clashing with the impact of the Elite Cavalry Formation!

Moreover, in the encounter with the three hundred Elite Cavalry, Chen Mu had singlehandedly scattered their momentum, then with one move swept them aside. Although some were not yet dead, at this moment they were all thrown about with severe injuries, their life and death unknown.

"Do not fear, form up,"

the commander-in-chief at the head of the foot soldiers immediately raised his long spear in shock.

The number of these army soldiers was indeed too few, there were only a little over a thousand foot soldiers, certainly not enough to contend with a Grandmaster-level expert like Chen Mu. However, facing an individual with such extreme martial power as Chen Mu, shrinking back in fear was even more a sure path to death!

Only by forming a battle formation would they have a chance to restrain Chen Mu, to confront him for a time. If they scattered in retreat, even a thousand men could not hope to escape the wanton slaughter by a being like Chen Mu. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and fight to the death without retreating!

And furthermore,

although Chen Mu's strength was astonishing, it was not as if there were no chance of victory!

After all, according to intelligence, although Chen Mu was one of the top three on the Wind Cloud List and his strength rivaled some of the strongest Grandmasters, his power ultimately came from borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth.

If Chen Mu always kept dozens of feet away from their battle formation, manipulating the Power of Heaven and Earth outside the formation to fight them, then their mere thousand-plus men, even with four Viscera Realm commanders and over ten Five Viscera Realm formers, could not possibly fight him off.

But,

if Chen Mu lacked the experience of clashing with the battle formation and charged into its midst, if the flow of Heaven and Earth was suddenly hindered and he could not draw upon the Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi, then they might be able to suppress him within their battle formation!

After all, even a master like Chen Mu, once deprived of the cycle of the Power of Heaven and Earth, wouldn't be much different from an ordinary Six Viscera Realm expert since he had not cultivated a Martial Body to embody great strength as a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

In the distance,

those thousands of women and children who had been driven away were now watching the scene on the wilderness with shock. They came from various settlements and strongholds and had seen highly skilled individuals before, but someone like Chen Mu, who alone could smash through a hundred cavalry charges, was like a supreme demon or immortal being, a figure out of legends to them.

Some women, who had initially been crestfallen, disheveled, and resigned to death, now watching the hellish, bloody scene from afar, felt not a trace of fear or discomfort; instead, they felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

In some people's eyes, hope was even beginning to flicker.

"It must be an expert from the Ice Extreme Palace... definitely an expert from the Ice Extreme Palace..."

"Well killed, very well killed."

The Ice Extreme Palace presided over the Ice State, and even the most remote settlements knew of this sole major sect that ruled over the Ice State.

And now, as countless eyes looked on, filled with hope or suffused with hatred and catharsis, the thousand-plus foot soldiers had formed into a battle formation. Waves of surging blood qi, under the guidance of the formation, disrupted the flow of the Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi.

"Kill!"

The leading commander bellowed ferociously, and then the thousand-plus foot soldiers charged headlong towards Chen Mu.

Although they were called foot soldiers, in fact, each of these thousand-plus men was above the Body Refinement Realm, and many among them were from the Tendon Changing Realm and even the Bone Tempering Realm. It could be said that in terms of overall Body Tempering Cultivation, they were even superior to the Jade Forest Army and the guards of the Ice State!

Among the foreign races beyond the borders, due to fewer resources and a smaller population, the army soldiers were very limited in number. But because the resources needed for practising Martial Arts were relatively abundant, and there were many more spiritual creatures and Spiritual Objects than within the Great Da Xuan Realm, their individual Realms tended to be higher. The number of Five Viscera and Six Viscera Realm masters, and even Grandmasters, did not fall short of a large State like the Ice State.

Body Refinement Martial Men, their strength reaching a thousand jun.

Tendon Changing experts, able to break gold and shatter jade.

Even though individually they were far from a match for a master of the Five Viscera and Six Viscera Realm, in a charge, even masters of the Five Viscera and even Six Viscera Realm were still flesh and blood. If the flow of their Inner Breath was disrupted and a flaw emerged, just enduring a single hit with their bodies could result in injury.

Yet confronted with the charge of a thousand foreign race soldiers in formation, Chen Mu didn't even spare them a glance. He only looked down at the little girl in his arms, gently touched her little head, and spoke softly,

"If you're scared, you don't have to watch."

The little girl's dark, large eyes blinked unceasingly, and at this moment, she did not bury her head in Chen Mu's embrace. Instead, she watched the scene of rivers of blood resembling hell without a trace of fear.

Seeing the little girl's demeanor, Chen Mu sighed softly in his heart. This child was indeed extraordinary. Even when the cavalry charged straight towards them, she did not flinch or hide. Although her body trembled slightly, she still kept her eyes open to watch.

She wanted to look, so Chen Mu didn't stop her.

Despite the hellish scene before her, she had already experienced it, for these times are far from peaceful; they're an era of bloodshed and chaos. Children who've lived through such turbulence and war are inherently different from the sheltered young ladies of comfortable surroundings.

Since Chen Mu had intervened, if she felt fear in her heart and merely wished to survive, he would take her to a safe place and see her settled. But if her heart was fearless, then he would let her witness the destruction of these rampaging foreign races.

Whoosh!

In the very next moment, Chen Mu lifted his spear high and hurled it towards the incoming thousand-strong army soldiers.

The spear, wrapped in the surging power of Qiankun, roared like a dragon, crossing dozens of meters in flight and slamming into the crowd with a thunderous crush, reducing several dozen heavily armored soldiers to a mess of blood and bones!

"Kill!"

A Viscera Realm commander roared and, accompanied by seven or eight Five Viscera Realm experts, they synchronized their Qi within the military formation and launched a combined strike at Chen Mu. The blade's light was magnificent, like a scarlet ribbon slicing through the air.

However, Chen Mu remained unfazed, merely raising his right hand and with a boom, he caught the blood-red blade light with his bare hand. Then, curling his fingers inward, he crushed it!

Boom!

He countered with a backhand strike, unleashing the mighty Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal. Even under the weakening of the military formation, its power pierced the heavens, striking dozens of meters away, shaking both men and armor into fragments!

Chen Mu faced the military formation with no fear, stepping into it as if a tiger among sheep, rampaging freely. Everywhere he went, whether facing the Five Viscera Realm or the Six Viscera Realm experts, even those supported by the formation's combined strength, none could match him. He killed them with ease, crushing the ordinary soldiers in droves.

Even without a fully developed Martial Body, a mere thousand soldiers' formation could not trap him, let alone kill him.

And after he had developed his Martial Body, even tens of thousands of soldiers and dozens of Six Viscera Realm commanders forming a formation would pose no threat to him. Only the elite armies like the Jade Forest Army, numbering over a hundred thousand, could possibly make him retreat.

Spurt!

Once again, Chen Mu's fingers came together for a stabbing motion, warping the air with the force unleashed. A single strike penetrated the heavy armor of a Six Viscera Realm commander, blasting a hole through his chest and creating a straight path of destruction.

"Heh..."

The Six Viscera Realm foreign race commander coughed up blood, his gaze on Chen Mu filled with shock. Clearly, he had never expected Chen Mu to possess such formidable strength. Even under the pressure of the military formation, he couldn't withstand a single move.

In the past, when he was on the borders, leading a large army to besiege an Eighth Rank Demon King, it never felt as terrifying as Chen Mu's might. Moreover, it was obvious that Chen Mu had not even used his full strength, still holding a girl in need of protection in his arms!

This man.

Stronger than an Eighth Rank Demon King?

Doubt filled the foreign commander's mind. An Eighth Rank Demon King's strength was almost equal to that of a top Grandmaster. He had gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and had the leadership of a Grandmaster to finally slay it.

He managed to make a sound, but no words came out as blood gushed from the hole in his chest. Soon, his strength ebbed away rapidly, and then he collapsed into a pool of blood.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

Chen Mu, holding the girl in one arm and using fingers, palms, and fist seals in the other, moved unfettered within the army formation. In just a short moment, several Six Viscera Realm foreign commanders and many Five Viscera Realm experts fell dead!

With every fall of a Five Viscera Realm fighter, the operations of the army formation stuttered until all of Five and Six Viscera Realm combatants were slain, leading to the complete collapse of the formation. The disrupted Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi paused briefly and then returned to normal.

Boom! Boom!!

With the collapse of the military formation, even though there were still hundreds of soldiers left, the power expressed in every move Chen Mu made suddenly magnified severalfold. A single flick of his fingers created a magnificent tens-of-meters-long Finger Print, sweeping through and crushing everything in its path.

The remaining few hundred soldiers, shocked and broken, finally scattered. But at that moment, there was no chance to flee. They were continuously crushed by the Qi force unleashed from Chen Mu's fingers, falling in swathes, dead where they lay.

In the end.

In a river of blood on the wasteland, only Chen Mu stood, with a thousand foreign soldiers dead at his feet.

"At last, some peace."

Chen Mu slowly lowered his hand and took a deep breath, feeling somewhat relieved as he surveyed the sprawl of corpses.

However, when his gaze shifted to the far distance, where thousands of women and children had been abducted by the foreign soldiers, he felt a slight headache and rubbed his brow. Killing had been satisfying, but it left behind an even messier problem.

If this were Frost County, he could have left the handling of the situation to the disciples of the Seven Profound Sect under his command. But he and Feng Hongsheng were alone in Han Prefecture. Although they could easily kill thousands of foreigners, dealing with the aftermath involving thousands of women and children was a problem.
