The Divine Martial Stars

Sitting on the edge of a one-thousand-year-old forest near the Qinling mountain range, Randengsi Village was in a region of jagged peaks, bubbling streams, and lush vegetation. This beautiful scenery, combined with its simple people, made this village a paradise. It was famous throughout the province of Shanxi. The Randeng Temple, with its history of being built during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was especially famous.

It was now midsummer, and the sun was about to set over Randengsi Village.

A slender teenager with thick eyebrows and big eyes was chewing a straw stem. He was singing while walking out of the only livestock slaughterhouse in the village. There was a slight smell of blood on him after he had slaughtered pigs. In his hand was a basket with a fresh piece of pork liver.

This teenager was named Li Mu. He was 14 years old.

Li Mu had just graduated from junior high school. He was ranked first in the senior high school entrance exam.

Li Mu was an orphan and had no parents. He was adopted by the only abbot of the ancient Randeng Temple when he was young. However, this abbot was not a monk but an old swindler from the countryside.

The old man and Li Mu lived with each other in the ancient broken-down temple.

When Li Mu was not at school, he would sit in the temple where he would watch the ancient Buddhas and drink from a mountain spring. He was loved among the villagers because he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and he looked dignified and strong as he smiled.

The old swindler was so respected in Randengsi Village, that they always ate and drank with his neighbors. Because of this, Li Mu grew up knowing many families in the village.

When he was 10 years old, Li Mu was forced by the swindler grandpa to slaughter pigs as a part-time job.

The old swindler told Li Mu that it was a useful job for him to cultivate a murderous spirit.

As Li Mu thought about this, he felt a little annoyed:

"I'm just a junior student, why do I need this spirit? And if it is useful to cultivate the murderous spirit, then the pig-killer uncle Qin must be a peerless killing god... Well, I think the swindler must be crazy."

Li Mu had slaughtered hundreds of pigs in four years. He felt that it was wicked to have his hands drenched with so much blood.

"Woof, woof...woof."

A black and white Siberian Husky with eyes of different colors was following him. It was big and beautiful.

Li Mu called it General.

The general of the dogs.

Li Mu had found this dog at the gate of the school three years ago. At that time, it was a baby dog. It was abandoned and so thin that it had almost starved to death.

Li Mu took it to the Randeng Temple and raised it.

After three years, this husky had grown as tall as a cow and as strong as an ox. Now it acted like an alpha among the many dogs in Randengsi Village. It always took its dog pack across the village and howled in the mountains and forests, scaring the chickens and ducks fly into flapping their feathers all over the village.

The only reason this husky had not been killed and made into a dog hot pot by the villagers, was because Li Mu and his grandpa were so loved in the village.

"Woof." General stared at the fresh pork liver tied with straw rope in Li Mu's hand and drooled. It was following Li Mu, ingratiating itself with him.

It was about a 20 minute walk from the slaughterhouse to the ancient temple.

The scenery along the road was beautiful and the setting sun looked like a gold coin.

As Li Mu met the villagers who were returning from farm work, he greeted them with great enthusiasm.

These uncles and aunts had been good to Li Mu since he was young and treated him like their own son.

When these villagers saw him, they replied with smiles.

As Li Mu and General disappeared into the distance, some people shook their heads and sighed:

"Well, that's a pity. Li Mu is the best student in our village and ranked No.1 in the high school entrance examination. I don't know why Master Li doesn't want him to continue to study."

"I know. I heard that the headmaster from the best high school in the city came to Randeng Temple by himself. He wanted this boy to study in his school for free and even wanted him to be in the Yulin class with monthly living expenses paid for... However, Master Li refused all of this."

"I guess Master Li wants Li Mu to inherit his skills."

"I don't think Master Li's skills like geomancy, health keeping, demon elimination, and ghost catching are useful in modern society. And I don't think it's a good idea for the boy to learn about these. Master Li is really skillful at these, but some people say that he has a mental illness and it will be terrible when he's attacked by this disease. Well, Li Mu will be pitiful since he has to take care of him then."

The villagers kept talking.

...

...

"Hello, old man, I'm back."

But there wasn't the usual response from the old swindler.

Li Mu walked to the kitchen.

Li Mu hid the pork liver in the jar after entering the kitchen, so General wouldn't eat it. After that, he took a gulp of well water.

Then he began to practice in the open space of the temple.

It was Zhenwu Boxing.

And the martial art Xiantian Skill.

And it was the old swindler who taught Li Mu these two kinds of skills.

When Li Mu began to walk, he was forced to practice these skills by the old swindler. Zhenwu Boxing was a series of skills and tricks in martial arts while Xiantian Skill was a breathing method. He had been practicing them for 11 years now. He would practice for one hour in the morning and in the afternoon.

According to the old swindler, Zhenwu Boxing was from the immortals. One could crush a mountain and break stones after achieving mastery through a comprehensive study of the eighteen styles of Zhenwu Boxing. One could easily smash an armored car even after just learning a little. However, the twelve-stage Xiantian Skill was more powerful since it could cause qualitative changes to people by cleaning their marrows and renewing their muscles. When anyone reached the Innate Stage, he could fly swiftly through the air as if he were an immortal.

But Li Mu couldn't even smash a piece of wood with Zhenwu Boxing even though he had been practicing it for 11 years. It only enhanced his vital capacity. He could find no other power from it.

And the old swindler had his own explanations for this.

According to what the old swindler said, the earth was currently at the Power-ending Age. As a result, the energy of heaven and earth was exhausted, as was the Spiritual Qi in the air. This was no condition for practice. And that was why he could not master the two Cultivation Methods he imparted to him.

How could he makeup an excuse like this?

What a liar!

Li Mu didn't even bother to call out the old swindler.

He was even angrier about the fact that the old swindler still forced him to practice even though, according to the old swindler himself, there was no way to practice successfully on earth.

Li Mu had always tried to resist practicing when he was five or six years old. However, he had to continue in tears after the old swindler beat him with a stick. When he grew up, the old swindler had to take the soft way since he could not defeat Li Mu.

Therefore, he would pretend to be attacked by mental illness, talking nonsense and running naked if Li Mu didn't take his advice. As a result, Li Mu was forced to continue to practice.

Now, Li Mu had grown used to this.

He regarded them as a useful way to build up a good physique and improve his health.

After practice in the evening, he went to the door of the meditation room at the back yard, stripped to the waist.

"So, old man, what do you want to eat for supper? I've finished practicing now. I've got the fresh port liver from the slaughterhouse, so, what about your favorite wax gourd and pork liver soup noodles..." Li Mu had been forced to cook by this bad old swindler since he was six.

"It's a big day today. Don't hurry to cook, let me tell you something very important."

An unusual and serious voice came from behind the curtain of the meditation room.

"What is the big day?" Li Mu thought for a while and scratched his head. It was July 14 of 2017 today: it was not a public holiday, or the traditional lunar holiday, or the international day of commemoration... so why it so big?

"Sit at the door of the meditation room and listen to me." It was rare when the old swindler became serious instead of his usual obscenities. "Now listen carefully, don't interrupt me before I finish."

"Oh? Ok." Li Mu had his doubts, but he still sat down at the door of the meditation room with crossed legs.

He had a bad feeling.

Every time the old swindler said there was something big was happening, that was when he was attacked by the mental illness.

And maybe this time was no exception.

"Here's the thing. There is one unprecedented large Transmitting Array built on the Ziwei Star Region where several super martial art sects are located outside the solar system so that it will be convenient for them to develop the south part of the galaxy.

"However, the pulse of the immortal power of this formation is going to pass the earth, and the earth is about to be destroyed. I have to take you away from earth, but before you leave, I have something to tell you so that you can get used to life there quickly..."

"Whhhhhh...what?"

Li Mu was stunned.

"The earth will be destroyed?"

"The Ziwei Star Region?"

"And super martial art forces?"

As expected, the old swindler had been attacked by the illness again.

And obviously, it was more serious this time since he was now talking complete nonsense like this.

Maybe he would say that aliens from the five star systems of the Milky Way would invade the earth and rob the national treasure giant panda if he continued.

"Well, old man, you can stop... Ok, I think we'd better put aside the trivial matter of earth's destruction. Your health is more important, and maybe you've got a fever, so, what about letting me send you to the hospital first?" Li Mu tried to make himself sound sincere as he talked.

Based on his previous experience, Li Mu knew to accept what the old swindler said rather than deny it, or else this old guy would get crazier.

Bang!

A slipper flew out of the meditation room and hit Li Mu right on his head.

"Damn it! Don't interrupt me. Now the formation has already started and time is limited, you shouldn't talk nonsense. Why are you making me angry? Just shut up and listen to me carefully. Damn, I'm not sick. You are a person of limited outlook and experience... Shut up!"

Wiping the shoe prints off his forehead, Li Mu was unable to cry or laugh.

This old man must have been attacked by a serious mental illness today. He was so furious and even spoke English.

"All right, calm down, you can continue and I will not interrupt you..." said Li Mu.

Then the old swindler continued to speak as he was breathing heavily:

"Eeveryone knows that those super martial art forces from Ziwei Star Region are so bad, the destruction of earth is an excuse to deal with the public opinion of the Ziwei Star Region. But the good news is that the early-stage preparations of building the super large Transmitting Array will take more than 20 years according to some calculations...

"Let me send you away from earth to a lower-level Martial Art Star. This way, it will be convenient for you to steel yourself, and maybe you can reach a higher level of learning in Zhenwu Boxing and Xiantian Skill within 20 years. Which means you might be able to gain the power to break the barriers of the planet and find a method to save the earth."

"So...it is, well, I get it. Don't worry, grandpa, I will surely practice those two magic skills you've delivered to me even if it is not for the earth but for you and the fellow villagers in Randengsi Village..." Li Mu figured that the old swindler was consumed by a serious mental illness so he had to cooperate.

"All right, it's good that you can understand it. Damn, it's a kind of fate that we're together. You have to be independent in the future. However, I've to remind you again, do you know what the most important thing is for martial artists when they make a living wandering from place to place among the stars?"

Well, this old swindler was getting a little too deep into this act.

Li Mu pretended to be thinking for a while then said, "A martial artist has to forge ahead with determination, and has to strive for the front line with heaven no matter what difficulties he faces. He also has to focus on righteousness first and be willing to help his friends, even at the cost of his life. Moreover, he should never retreat from facing evil even at the cost of his life for justice-"

Bang!

The second slipper flew out of the meditation room and hit him right on his head.

"Stupid... How can you forget what I've taught you before? Why are you saying helping others at the loss of your life and sacrificing yourself for justice? It's wrong, absolutely wrong! Damn, you are going to piss me off. You must remember the first principle when you're in space. You have to admit when you're defeated or acknowledge your impotency... Life is more important. Safety first! It's more important to live."

The old swindler was furious. He felt disappointed that Li Mu had no capacity for improvement.

Li Mu didn't know what to say.

And the old swindler continued with sincere words and earnest wishes, "My son, I've already taught you all of my skills during the past years. They will be amazing in the universe. Though I've always been tough on you and forced you to do many things that you were unwilling to do, leaving your childhood incomplete. However, I did all this for your own good. You will understand how precious those skills will be when you reach the lower-level Martial Art Star, and you must appreciate me for all this..."

Hearing this, Li Mu twitched his mouth.

To be honest, he would have felt moved if he didn't know that the old swindler was talking nonsense.

How could he trick the old swindler into going to the hospital?

Then the old swindler spoke again, "Well, I will not talk about this anymore. Don't let me down when you are in the world alone... Come in now, let me send you away."

Li Mu giggled.

This was a good chance.

When he entered, he would find a way to get close to the old swindler, tie him up and send him to the hospital.

Li Mu opened the door of the meditation room and entered.

But who knew that the moment he entered, something unexpected happened.

The ground behind the curtain was not actually earth. Li Mu seemed to have stepped into an abyss as he missed his step and fell directly downward. Then there was a strange buzz in his ear, making him totally weightless...

"Damn, that's so villainous. You must be crazy, old swindler. When did you dig such a deep pit in the meditation room..."

Li Mu cried out in grief and indignation.

But his voice stopped abruptly.

As if he had vanished from this world.

"Aha... I did it... I've spent 10 years carving this Nine-star Sky Array and activated it with half of my blood. Well, this is a favor to this brat. I've finally sent this boy away. Well, I'm totally liberated... Aha, I can go back finally... Let me change the array coordination... Aha, I don't want to stay in this damn earth any longer since it lacks Spiritual Qi..."

The frantic laughter of the old swindler reverberated in the meditation room.

However, suddenly there were sounds of footsteps coming from outside Randeng Temple.

"Hello, General, is Brother Mu in the meditation room?" A girl's pleasant voice sounded.

And General, as tall as a little cow, was wagging its head and tail with a flattering smile and led her to the meditation room.

And a beautiful girl of fourteen followed behind.

She was a slender girl, almost 5' 6" tall with black hair, a tender look, and white skin. Her smile was revealed before she spoke. She was wearing jeans which highlighted her long straight legs and slim figure. Even the Randeng Temple became radiant because of her presence.

The girl was Wang Shiyu, the commissary in charge of studies in his junior school, the campus belle and also his former desk mate.

"Woof... woof." General jumped with excitement and wagged its tail wildly. It led her down the hallway and entered the meditation room.

Wang Shiyu followed it closely and entered without hesitation. She smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Mu, are you there? Mr. Chen who asked me to come here. He hopes you can continue to study at high school..."

However, in the next moment, the screams of the girl and the dog sounded in the meditation room at the same time.

And then, their voices vanished completely.

There was a long silence before the old swindler's voice of grief sounded:

"Oh no... Damn dog... Ah, this girl... How can you enter...? Damn, I can't stop them. I've lost too much blood. The array has been activated again before I've had the time to adjust the array coordination...

"Oh my god, this ordinary girl and the foolish dog have been sent away too. They have wasted all my remaining spirit blood... What a disaster! What shall I do now since this array can be used only once? I'll be trapped here on the earth without the array and the spirit blood. God, are you joking with me?

"Damn, that will be so interesting. Your dog and girl have all been transmitted... You will find it so interesting on that planet... You must practice Xiantian Skill for 20 years so that you can break the barrier of the star and help me out, or else, I will stay and be destroyed with earth."

In the evening.

It was a furious storm.

At the edge of the cliff in the wilderness field.

Two thin figures were trembling.

6 well-equipped warriors were forcing these two figures to the edge of the cliff with cold long knives.

One snow-white lightning flashed, it lit up the faces of those thin figures, they were one boy and one girl who were only 13 or 14 years old, they had beautiful eyes with green hats, dressing like attendants at school with an expression of horror, despair and... anger.

"Hey, the principal master has plunged to his death from the cliff, come on, Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, go and kill those two little jerks, we can finish today's plan tonight perfectly and report to the boss." The strong man leader among the 6 warriors smiled coldly and said, "That is the right rain, all traces will be washed clean, and God really helps me too..."

The noise of swishing!

It was the cold light of the knife.

Those two well-equipped warriors gave a grim smile and walked towards the two children at the edge of the cliff.

The noise of clicking.

Boom!

It was another lightning which was as thick as a dragon that broke the dark blue sky suddenly.

It was a little incredible that this lightning was so huge that it seemed like a sword, while the sky shone like the day in a moment, and the loud and deafening sound of explosion seemed to split the dark sky and the earth. The black sky seemed to have been torn apart by the lightning, as if the whole world was trembling under the thunder and lightning, which was strange and terrible.

Those two fighting warriors were also shocked and couldn't help stopping the long knife.

What happened?

Why were there so many bolts of lightning in the rain tonight?

Even the leader from the warriors also whispered, and he was about to say something...

Then at this moment, one strange sound came from the sky suddenly.

"Ah ah ah... Why did the old faker dig the pit so deeply?"

One heart-tearing voice, like the scream of a cat whose tail had been stepped blowing up, came from above.

Before those people reacted, one black shadow fell rapidly and dropped into a weed of half meter high next to the attendants, making the grass flying all over.

What happened?

Those well-equipped warriors paled.

Those 6 guys were alert and moving backward, they were standing in the dark and surrounded the haystack closely as well.

Several seconds later.

"Oh my God, my ass hurts... Damn, you're such bad guy, why are you so bored as to dig such a deep pit here?"

One slender dark shadow climbed out of the grass and stood up tremblingly.

But it was a strong teenager.

He was bare-chested, naked with short black hair and wearing straight trousers of strange shapes and materials. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and grinning teeth. Looking confused, he climbed out of the grass, and then rubbed his waist as he looked around carefully.

It was also strange that the previous heavy rain and lightning had all stopped without warning since the teenager emerged from the sky, and even the clouds in the sky had scattered in an instant and the disappeared completely.

The two moons were high and the silver moonlight fell.

This teenager rose up subconsciously and saw the two moons in the sky.

Then suddenly, he was totally stunned.

"Damn... There're two moons? This is not a dream, right? So, it means the old faker... didn't lie to me?" The teenager was stunned with the mouth shaped like 'O', and then he gasped and said, "That's to say, I fell into the pit at the door of the meditation room carelessly and then I was really transmitted to this Alien Planet?"

It was only more than 10 seconds since he fell into the pit and now appeared here.

How could it be?

He pinched his own face.

Well, it hurt a bit.

It was real and he was not dreaming.

Suddenly he screamed, and then patted on his face, murmured with a confused expression, and then he became fierce, hateful and exciting like a madman.

Naturally, this teenager was just the earthman Li Mu who had been transmitted by the old faker.

The cold wind blew and everything was quiet.

It was the site of slaughter, but now the atmosphere was so bizarre that they did not know whether to laugh or cry.

And those 6 warriors were at a loss as to what to do.

They didn't know what really happened about this stranger matter and that person at this moment.

The picture seemed to be fixed.

Suddenly, one trembling and surprised voice broke the weird atmosphere.

"Ah... Young Master, it's that you? Really? You've just climbed up from the bottom of the cliff? That's so great, you're... still alive? Wow, that's amazing, you're still alive..."

It was the boy attendant who spoke.

This little boy was carrying a fully-packed bamboo bookcase on the back, which was almost as high as him, then suddenly, he rushed to Li Mu, looked at him with surprise, he was so excited and even cried out after he only spoke a few words.

That little girl attendant was stunned, she rose up the light-complexioned and delicate little face, looked at Li Mu with bright eyes in puzzle and doubt. "Hello, Young Master, it's... really you? You've fallen into the cliff, didn't you? Well, what happened to your hair, why it's so short...? You've even changed your hairstyle below the cliff? Your clothes are so strange, where did you get them?" This little girl tended to be talkative and focused on something which was totally different from the little boy attendant's.

Well?

What happened?

Li Mu doubted, he lowered his head and looked at the two attendants.

"Young Master?"

"You must mistake me for someone else, don't you?"

However, he could understand what they said?

"Hey, you... you didn't die?" The leader of the well-equipped warriors spoke with surprise. He waved the long sharp knives in his hand. Looking anxious and doubtful, he said, "Well, you're really lucky to climb up alive after falling into a cliff of more than 20 meters high."

Li Mu just noticed there were 6 fierce warriors here.

He looked at the warrior leader and felt totally confused.

Another guy who mistook me for someone else?

"What a coincidence, I can also understand him."

"Oh, no... Young Master... just... run now, they've come to kill you..." Suddenly, the little boy realized and shouted anxiously, as he cried out, he pushed Li Mu to escape.

Well?

Li Mu was stunned.

As he saw the two anxious attendants and the 6 fierce well-equipped warriors approaching him slowly, Li Mu understood something suddenly.

It seemed that he had been involved in a conspiracy killing as he had just traveled through time.

"Oh no, how can this corny plot happen to me?"

"Wait... wait." Li Mu raised up his hands.

As the well-equipped warriors saw him rise up his hands, they all stopped immediately.

It was really a little bizarre for what happened previously, especially when Li Mu dropped from the sky, which made them have to be careful in case that Li Mu might have some other tricks and cause them to make mistakes.

Li Mu was also relieved.

Li Mu was sure that they could understand what he said according to their reactions.

It seemed there would be no problem for communication with them on this alien planet.

"Yes, that's it, let's stop for a while, nothing is impossible with a crayfish meal... Well, you haven't eaten crayfish before? Oh sorry, I forgot that it is not on earth. Anyway, that's OK, I'm just making an example... Just calm down, listen to me." Li Mu was still a little confused, he felt so blank and got terrified as he saw there were just about to put up a fight.

He took a deep breath and got the sense that the air in this world was extremely clear and sweet, he could feel as if the air was swimming inside in the lung, which made him feel so comfortable, as he breathed, he had a wonderful feeling of floating away.

But this was not important, the most important was that he had to get out of this killing crisis.

He tried to smile sincerely and said, "Hello, brothers, maybe you won't believe it, but it's true. Actually, I'm an alien. You've mistaken me for someone else... I'm not the one you've mentioned, I was just passing by... and was transmitted by a bad old faker to this world... you may not know earth, but I'll explain to you for 3 days and 3 nights if I explain to you guys in details..."

There was an awkward silence in the air.

"Young Master, did you hit your head or something... What is this alien thing you're talking about?"

That little girl attendant looked at Li Mu with an expression that said: "Are you stupid?".

Li Mu didn't know what to say.

"Little sister, you really mistook me for someone else.

"Don't speak nonsense, or I'll be in trouble."

The well-equipped warrior leader was stunned, and then he smiled coldly and said, "Well, Li Mu, I've seen your portrait dozens of times, and I'll never mistake, don't you think it's so clumsy to deceive our brothers with such a bad excuse even though you're a smart and tricky well-educated person? Don't insult us."

"Well? How do you know my name...?"

Li Mu was stunned and asked subconsciously.

But later, he realized that he was in trouble.

It must be that person they were pursuing and killing, and his name was also Li Mu.

Damn, there was such a coincidence in the world, they did not only look the same, but also had the same name?

And as he said so, he knew something bad was about to happen.

That was to say, he had already admitted that he was Li Mu?

It was not wrong but misleading and it was hard to argue about it.

Damn, what the hell was that?

"You got to be kidding me."

"I'm just traveling here physically, it's the body and not the soul. How can this happen?"

"Humph, you admit that you're Li Mu again?" That warrior leader smiled coldly with an impatient look, he said, "You're acting like a fool to delay? Brothers, a long delay means trouble, come on, let's kill him and finish this and report early."

The two well-equipped warriors next to him grinned hideously, they rushed out so fast and fought directly.

...

The knife was shining like snow, showed a great sense of cold, and was cutting down on Li Mu's head.

"Why are you so unreasonable? It's gone too far... I'm really an alien, and I can prove this, I can speak English, know mathematics, physics, and chemistry. My computer skill is at level three, English level four, Japanese self-taught level 10... I'm from the senior civilization world... with 5,000 years of history... I'm precious and valuable..." Li Mu was crying out and getting goose bumps, and then he moved backward and acted with confusion.

But who knew that Li Mu could even avoid such two knife lights which were as fast as the lightning so easily in such hurry, though he seemed a little clumsy?

Well?

Why did those two people cut so slowly?

And this kind of strange idea flashed so quickly upon Li Mu's mind.

Swoosh!

Other two sword lights came upon him again.

And Li Mu dodged again.

He avoided successfully again unexpectedly.

"How is like this? Why are they acting so gently as if it is in slow motion? I can see them so clearly, well, they may not come to kill me but act for fun?" Li Mu felt so curious about this.

But those two warriors were wearing fierce and murderous expressions on their faces and it seemed they were not acting at all.

"Wow, Young Master... you just become so powerful, come on... Don't just dodge there, go and fight back... Fight back and kill those bad guys." The little girl next to them was such a fool and didn't realize the danger, instead, she clapped with excitement and applauded him.

But the little boy next to her seemed to be so afraid and moved backward, he was also worried about the sharp sword and stamped his foot.

Li Mu felt speechless.

"Why is it so exaggerated on your face, little sister?"

"Don't you think you have to act afraid just like the other guy next to you at this moment?"

"You must be a flapper, aren't you?"

The sound of whizz!

And the sword light came pelting down fiercely again.

"Hello, have you finished that? That's enough now since you've tried three times already... Calm down, OK?" Li Mu felt angry and annoyed and cried out loudly. "You're really mistaken, it's not hard for you to admit that. I can recite the periodic table of elements and classic essays fluently, and I can recite 300 Tang poems proficiently as well, I can do so many things to prove that I'm really an alien... Stop, just stop!"

As Li Mu avoided the sword, he grabbed the arms of the two warriors with his hands and gave them a push.

He intended to push them away and tried to reason with them.

But unexpectedly, he heard the crisp sound as if he was kneading the small raccoon snack noodle.

And the arm bones of the two warriors have been broken into several parts. Meanwhile, they were spitting blood wildly, then hit on the distant trees like watermelons crashing against a stone. Then, they felt limp and lay feebly on the ground. Twitching and gasping, it looked like they would not survive...

Damn?

Li Mu felt so surprised and looked at his hands as if he had seen a ghost.

"What the hell is this?"

How could he kill two strong men since he only pushed them slightly?

"So... When do I have this kind of power?"

And Li Mu felt muddled again.

"What? This kind of power..." The well-equipped warrior leader seemed to be so crazy as the sight of this and put on a cold look immediately.

How terrible the power was!

The chieftain of the warrior became extremely embarrassed.

He stared at Li Mu and became gloomy, there was an unspeakable look of fear in his eyes.

After a while, he moved backward silently to keep some distance, and then spoke with a cold smile cowardly. "OK, I've never thought that Young Master Li is also a warrior. You are modest about your skill as you're already on the imperial list of the candidate in the high school entrance examination. You're even so powerful in kung fu... I think we've made a mistake and have to admit defeat, anyway, Bloody-moon faction will never give up... Let's go back!"

As the warriors said so, they scurried off as if they hastened home for a funeral. They flew up like big birds and disappeared in the distant night as if they were escaped something. Soon after, they vanished into the night.

And the remaining three warriors also looked so frightened, they followed the leader closely and disappeared in the night rapidly. They had even left their fellow warriors' bodies behind.

Ah?

"They can make their way into a house over walls and roofs?"

"And fly over the grass?"

"So those guys have the skill of qinggong?"

"They are the martial art masters."

His eyes brightened, so, was it really a world of martial arts on this planet?

"But... oh, bad, it's not over yet, he must be pursued and killed by those men according to the descriptions of the novel on earth since he's provoked so many masters and killed their brothers?"

"Well, wait a moment, let me explain, let me explain..." Li Mu stepped out, waved his hands, and tried to persuade them. "Hello, brothers, I'm really an alien, and you must have mistaken me for someone else... I didn't kill your brother on purpose, wait, and let's make it clear..." What would he do if they pursued and killed him because he didn't make it clear this time?

But those well-equipped warriors were too scared to stay and escaped without turning around in fear that Li Mu might catch up and kill them.

"Wow, Young Master, when are you becoming so powerful?" The little girl jumped up and came upon Li Mu.

The little girl's big and bright eyes sparkled with adoration.

Li Mu glanced at her.

This silly little girl must be absolutely belligerent.

"Young Master, it's not a good idea to stay here for long, let's move now, there're still dozens of kilometers away from Taibai County." The little boy seemed to be rather normal, there seemed to be fear after that event on his baby face. He's carrying a bookcase on the back as high as himself, which seemed to be ridiculous, but he was speaking in a sincere manner. "You don't need to be afraid of those guys from Bloody-moon faction when you take over the county government office in the county, you can send soldiers to besiege and kill them."

"Oh?" Li Mu felt so surprised at this little guy was speaking in such an arrogant tone even though he was shorter than his bookcase. "To take over the County Magistrate in the county office government and send soldiers to suppress them?"

"Absolutely so, Young Master, you must forget that you've been assigned as the county magistrate of Taibai county as you're the successful literature candidate in the highest imperial examinations, now we are on the way there and almost arriving..."

"The empire? What is that?"

"The empire of Qin, so, Young Master, are you OK?"

"Oh... the Qin Empire, now it's the Qin Empire that rules the world? It's now the Qin Dynasty in history? That's not right, but how can you explain the matter of two moons?"

"To rule the world? How can it be? The mainland of China has been divided into nine divisions, and they are ruled by three big empires and nine factions, while Qin Dynasty is ruling the West and North part of the mainland, so, are you OK, Young Master? This is common sense... What's more, there're always two moons in the sky."

"Ah? What about the daytime? Are there two suns?"

"Absolutely, there're always two suns and not one. So, are you OK, Young Master?"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah... Dame the old faker, where did he transmit... This planet is so scaring, I want to be back to my planet earth."

...

...

Taibai County was located at the foot of Taibai Mountain, the most famous branch of Qinling Mountains in the Western part of the mainland.

It was already bright when Li Mu and the two little students arrived at the gate of Taibai County.

And the door of the county has just been opened while it was always closed at night.

Thousands of people from all walks of life came to the city in succession, they formed a long line at the entrance of the city and were checked by the garrison one by one before they could enter the city.

Li Mu was standing there watching.

It was July and the vegetation was flourishing at that time.

Taibai County was located at the foot of Taibai Mountain. It was surrounded by primitive forest and tall arch walls. It had a history of hundreds of years. Standing outside the city, you could see the ancient buildings with green bricks and tiles, which were inlaid in the green trees and waves. It had a primitive and meticulous beauty just like Atlantis.

"It's just like the ancient times, that's so beautiful."

As Li Mu stood in the line and he couldn't help sighing.

Then he felt so hungry that the stomach was beginning to gurgle.

Looking back, Li Mu didn't even have time for supper after practice at Randeng Temple on earth. He had been sent to this world by that old faker, now it had been a long time and he had been running, which really made him feel so dizzy and hungry now.

"Come on, Young Master, we'll have food when we arrive at the office."

The little boy speaking was named Qing Feng.

There was some solid food on Qing Feng, but he lost them when he tried to escape when those guys from Bloody-moon faction pursued and wanted to kill them. Actually, he was also hungry, but for him, the master was the most important and he had to comfort Li Mu first.

"All right."

Li Mu was absent-minded and replied so.

The rumbling sound!

The stomach rumbled again.

And those people in the line all turned around and looked at Li Mu.

As other people looked at him in an unusual way, the traveler Li Mu blushed.

Because last night when those martial art masters from Bloody-moon faction pursued them, they were so anxious all the way and they even almost lost their shoes, now these two attendants and one master were in a panic and rags, just like refugees... This kind of image was really a kind of a shame for those travelers who were supposed to be whatever they wanted to be.

"Hello, big brother, you must haven't eaten for a long time, right? Here you are."

Suddenly, a puerile, clear and melodious voice like a lark in the valley appeared at his side timidly.

Li Mu turned back subconsciously.

And he found a little girl of about seven or eight years old, she was dressing up poorly with coarse cloth jackets, the pants were covered with patches, she was wearing straw shoes and two black pigtails on the head and a healthy ruddy luster goes round her little face, her bright big eyes were clear and they were as beautiful as two black gems without impurities, she also had long eyelashes flickering and holding the golden yellow apricots which were as big as the fists on her hands and giving them to Li Mu.

"Wow, for me?" Li Mu felt a little surprised.

But he didn't know this little guy yet.
