Chapter 853: Chapter 853: The Heavenly Being Raises His Sword, Descending Like a God!

"Oh? It’s a bit of a novelty."

Lin Mu glanced at the jade plaque hanging from Yun Xi’s waist, paying it no further mind.

With the Qianyuan Empire’s style of invading small worlds, it was inevitable that it would face retaliatory attacks from these other realms!

If there were no methods to scout or counter otherworldly incursions, the Qianyuan Empire would have long been infiltrated and riddled with vulnerabilities.

Yun Rou gasped, her mouth agape, staring incredulously at the heavenly being she revered in her heart!

"A Barbarian from Another World? This omnipotent heavenly being is actually a Barbarian from Another World?"

Yun Rou found it hard to believe.

Because all the chronicles of the Qianyuan Empire describe people from other realms as barbaric, bloodthirsty savages!

Indeed, whenever someone from another world appears in the Qianyuan Empire, it invariably leads to a bloody storm, causing many innocent civilian casualties!

Yet, this was not surprising; the Qianyuan Empire had destroyed these smaller worlds — if they didn’t seek revenge upon arriving in the Qianyuan Empire, it would be perplexing.

This had led the ordinary citizens of the Qianyuan Empire to form a fixed impression.

Of having an extreme distaste for Barbarians from Another World!

Lin Mu stood with his hands clasped behind him, remaining motionless.

Yun Xi and five other City Defense Army soldiers were sweating from their palms, their mouths dry.

Qianfang City was too tiny.

So small that even if a strong force from another world arrived, it wouldn’t pay attention to such a small place — those forces went to fight in larger cities!

The jade plaque at Yun Xi’s waist lit up for the first time!

The six of them had never expected that in their lifetime, they would encounter a strong force from another world!

Thus, when the jade plaque lit up for the first time, Yun Xi did not react immediately!

Whoosh!

A sound of a piercing wind echoed as two Centurions landed at the city gate!

"City Lord, General! This is the Barbarian from Another World!"

Yun Xi hurriedly reported to the two of them!

These two were the City Lord and Garrison Commander of Qianfang City!

The Garrison Commander frowned as he glanced at Lin Mu, finding himself unable to see through Lin Mu’s front, furrowing his brow.

The City Lord, his hands behind his back, made a gesture with his fingers before stepping forward and issuing the command, "Kill!"

At the drop of the kill command, he and the Garrison Commander both made their move!

The Qianyuan Empire had never deviated when it came to confronting a strong force from another world, always adhering to the command: Kill!

No need for excessive words!

The enmity between the Qianyuan Empire and the strong forces from smaller worlds was irremediable!

Boom! Boom!

The City Lord and the Garrison Commander — one wielding a sword, the other a spear.

The sword aura like a rainbow, the spear intent like a dragon!

The two combined forces were astonishingly powerful!

It was evident that they had practiced and honed their battle formation countless times!

Their momentum seemed like that of a thousand troops!

"Hmph!"

Lin Mu remained unmoving, merely letting out a soft snort!

This snort, akin to a bell and drum, echoed in the ears of everyone at the city gate!

Like divine might descending, it froze everything around him!

The City Lord, holding his sword, remained in the slashing posture, but could only tremble his sleeves, unable to unleash a slash!

The Garrison Commander, spear thrust, had the tip only centimeters from Lin Mu, yet unable to advance further!

Not only them!

Three additional figures revealed themselves!

One pointed his sword at Lin Mu, the distance to Lin Mu’s neck less than a dozen centimeters!

Another flung hidden weapons, a dozen flying daggers enshrouded Lin Mu, yet were suspended in the air!

The last figure, most mysterious, donned a Divine Robe from the Divine Temple, emitting a greenish mist from his hand, seemingly toxic!

Yet that mist, as if encased in amber, was frozen, extraordinarily mysterious!

Yun Xi stared, mouth agape, at the miraculous scene before him, unable to utter a word!

Yun Rou blinked and waved her hand, discovering she could still move!

Her reverence for the heavenly being deepened!

Such Great Divine Power, what else could it be but a heavenly being!

This must be Yun Xi Brother’s mistake!

How could a Barbarian from Another World possess such divine skills!

Pa!

Lin Mu flicked his finger, and the Space Ring on the City Lord’s hand shattered directly.

All inside — Spirit Stones, swords, miscellaneous items — fell to the ground.

A Jade Slip slowly rose, landing in Lin Mu’s hand; it was a map of Boyang Prefecture!

"In deference to Yun Rou, I won’t kill you!"

Lin Mu said softly to Yun Xi.

Before Yun Xi understood the meaning of these words, he saw the City Lord, Garrison Commander, and the other three Centurions before him become limp, their eyes glazed, collapsing to the ground, lifeless!

Kill!

With a single word!

No need for any gestures, no need for any spells, just one sentence, and the lives of five Centurions were seized!

Yun Xi’s teeth chattered, his body uncontrollably trembling!

Instantly killing five Centurions, could this Barbarian from Another World be a Martial Saint!

Even a Ten-Thousand-Man General couldn’t effortlessly kill five Centurions so casually!

Lin Mu ignored the terrified Yun Xi, smiling as he turned to Yun Rou, "Little girl, do you dare to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi almost lost his soul in fright, unable to shake his head or speak due to the confinement, could only anxiously make faces at Yun Rou!

This is a Barbarian from Another World!

Colluding with a Barbarian from Another World was a capital offense in the Qianyuan Empire!

It could even implicate three clans!

Yun Rou indeed wanted to go, but feared dragging her family into it.

The young girl hesitated for a long time, cautiously asked, "Sir, are you truly a heavenly being or a Barb— a strong force from another world?"

While asking, she subconsciously glanced at the ten corpses littered on the ground!

The ruthless act of killing at a whim seemed more like a Barbarian from Another World than a heavenly being.

"Consider me a strong force from another world."

Lin Mu smiled faintly.

Yun Rou gazed into the mysterious man’s clear eyes, recalling the myriad unique languages and words in her mind, and finally decided.

"Sir, I will go with you!"

Crunch!

When Yun Rou uttered this, Yun Xi nearly shattered his teeth by clenching them!

This crazy girl, attempting to doom the entire clan!

Lin Mu nodded.

Then, he looked toward Qianfang City, declaring loudly, "Today, I, Invincible Palace’s Lin Mu, take away Yun Rou from Qianfang City!"

"Should the Qianyuan Empire dare to implicate the Yun Clan People, harm one Yun Clan member, I shall annihilate a small city!"

"For each Yun Clan member who perishes, I shall destroy a grand city!"

"Should the Yun Clan be obliterated, I will devastate an entire prefecture!"

The steely words rendered the entire Qianfang City silent.

Yun Xi was gritting his teeth further in hatred!

This self-proclaimed Lin Mu from another world dared to threaten the great Qianyuan Empire!

If he hadn’t spoken these words, the Yun Clan might yet have hope for survival.

Such words, as if setting the Yun Clan upon the executioner’s path!

He hated Lin Mu, and hated Yun Rou even more!

If it weren’t for this ignorant girl, how could the Yun Clan meet such a calamity!

The Yun Clan was finished!

"Little girl, come up!"

Lin Mu gestured, and Yun Rou landed on the Flying Sword!

She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

She was already regretting it.

She hadn’t expected this seemingly gentle strong force from another world to be so boastful, daring to threaten the Qianyuan Empire!

Her actions were starting to implicate her entire clan?

At that moment, Yun Rou even contemplated suicide to apologize!

"Hahaha..."

Lin Mu suddenly burst into laughter.

"Qianyuan Empire, if you don’t believe, then behold this sword!"

In the sky, Lin Mu mimicked a sword with his finger, slicing downward!

Slaying Gods and Demons and Punishing Immortals in twelve forms!

Immortal Slaying Sword!
