Chapter 605: The Price

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Yunmu expressionlessly looked at Battle Sage Vega and Battle Sage An Jing who had stopped battling. In the two pairs of black and white eyes, there were no fluctuations regarding their mental state.
Li Yunmu’s feelings were quite complex regarding Battle Sage Vega. If she hadn’t taken an interest in him before, he probably would have lost the opportunity to descend to the Origin World to search for a method to become a deity. This would have certainly influenced the rate of increase in his strength and his upper limit.
Although in the Seventh Dimension all the supreme transcending experts including Battle Sage Vega had tacitly agreed to use him as bait, Li Yunmu could understand her thought process. She had been faced with the choice between a promising youngster and the future of all humanity.
It was a very simple question, and any ordinary person with some intelligence would know what to choose.
Therefore, although Li Yunmu felt vexed in his heart, he didn’t hold a grudge toward the Battle Sage Vega because of this matter. The reason why he kept the method to reach deity realm in his hands was because he wanted a battle which would illustrate that he stood at the peak of this world and nothing more.
But when Battle Sage Vega allied with Battle God and Blade Master to kill Sword Sage and led her troops toward Lucky Wind City, Li Yunmu felt a dull ache deep in his heart.
He didn’t have a deep connection with Sword Sage, but this supreme transcending expert had still chosen to stand by his side, while Battle Sage Vega and Battle God, who had once thrown an olive branch to him, stood in opposition.
When the eyes of Battle Sage Vega and Li Yunmu met, there was no change in her expression, and she didn’t open her mouth to give an explanation.
Unlike other peak experts of the fifty-fifth Earth, Battle Sage Vega wasn’t hypocritical. Her attitude was clear, and she calmly confronted everything.
The winner was the king, and the loser the bandit. It was like that since the ancient times.
Battle Sage An Jing, who wore the black Twin Star Supreme Battlesuit, however, had a mocking smile. She spoke as if thinking out loud.
“Such a long time has passed, and the little guy who needed me to act as a battle sage behind him has surprisingly reached this stage today. No wonder she desired to become a deity this much.”
When she used the word ‘she’, her gaze turned to Battle Sage Vega, and the ridicule in her eyes grew stronger.
“What’s the use of saying anything?” Battle Sage Vega asked while raising her chin slightly. “If I die here, will you remain alive?”
While she spoke, the human powerhouses who hadn’t stepped into the battlefield began to channel their flux energy. They were prepared to enter the battlefield at any time and give up their life to ensure that Battle Sage Vega could retreat safely.
Of the six supreme transcending experts, Sword Sage and Blade Master had already perished. Battle God’s whereabouts were also unknown, which meant that the heavens had changed. The Earth could not support the loss of so many peak experts!
“Don’t be nervous, I don’t have any plans to deal with you for the time being. I’m here today only thanks to Battle Sage Vega’s favor back then!”
With his both hands clasped behind his back, Li Yunmu raised his chin and looked at Battle Sage Vega.
“Wew…”
After hearing his words, Battle Sage Vega heaved a sigh of relief as if a large burden had dropped off her shoulders.
The present Li Yunmu could easily be placed above all the supreme transcending experts and might even be able to battle against the six of them at once.
But unfortunately, they would not have the opportunity to test it.
“I say, you all chose to begin today’s battle, but you can’t choose when it ends.”
Li Yunmu’s indifferent gaze caused the hearts of the fluxers of the three sides to go cold. Shortly after, he again opened his mouth and said slowly, “Kill all the nirvana flux masters and those above that belong to—Bladewood and War God Shrine!”
The moment he said that, the twenty-one shadows which had silently returned to Lucky Wind City led his troops away from the protection of the city to begin a slaughter!
In the sky, the vampires, who had opened their bat wings one after another, also rushed into the battlefield. They would take their prey into the sky and drink their blood until they were full!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, the fluxers who were being hunted circulated all the flux energy in their four limbs and hundred bones to unleash their maximum speed!
The cyan divine blade in Li Yunmu’s hand began to distort at that moment. He pulled back his hand, and the cyan longbow was pulled taut. One after another, several arrows with red-colored bodies and thunder flickering around them congealed at the bow string.
All the nirvana stage and above level fluxers of Bladewood and War God Shrine halted in their steps when Li Yunmu formed the arrows. Even if his cyan longbow was aimed toward the sky, they could clearly sense that some sort of strange power had locked onto them.
An existence whom even supreme transcending experts couldn’t resist had locked onto them, so where could ants like them run or hide?
“Turn around and stake your life on this! Today whether we flee or not, everyone will die!”
“Yes, turn around and fight! Killing one is breaking even, killing two is profit!”
“Li Yunmu! Your father will wait for you in hell! You will not have a good death!”
“I don’t want to die! Save me! I request you all!”
All sorts of things were said by the group of people upon which Li Yunmu had locked on. Some were cursing him, some were showing ruthlessness, while others were begging for mercy.
But all of this had no influence on Li Yunmu. After all, everything in the world had a price. Since those people had decided to stand in opposition to him, they also had to be willing to pay the price.
Li Yunmu didn’t dare to say that if he was the one on the losing side, that he would show more control than the people before him.
But Li Yunmu never chose to do anything above his ability and didn’t get himself tied to a chariot of war to confront enemies whom he didn’t have the strength to confront.
He gradually loosened his grip, and scarlet rays covered the sky while surging thunderbolts deafened everyone. After a short moment, red thunder dragons rushed down and killed a number of sage experts,who were still not convinced, in a seven-to-eight kilometer region.
In no time, the fluxers coming from Lucky Wind City as well as the vampires with sinister appearance pounced on the people who had turned around to fight. Li Yunmu’s side didn’t suffer any major losses while slaughtering the despairing enemy fluxers!
Battlefield was a carefully chosen stage in which tyrannical strength didn’t mean certain victory. Yet the despairing fluxers couldn’t even band together to form a formation to effectively attack or defend.
