The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 725 - The Real Protector

Chapter 725 The Real Protector

The situation took a turn for the worse.
None of them had expected that they would finally fall into the enemy’s encirclement after running for a long time.
“What’s going on?” The chief of the Green Fox Tribe asked in astonishment.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe smiled wryly and explained what had happened.
Li Mu obstinately persisted in coming to this place, so they didn’t take the planned route when they escaped. However, the chief of the Green Fox Tribe, who was trying to stop the enemy, didn’t know such a change, and he just wanted to lure the enemy to somewhere far away from them. Unfortunately, the encounter happened due to such a strange combination of circumstances.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe looked at Li Mu and did not know what to say.
“It looks like we have no choice but to fight to the death today.” The chief of the Green Fox Tribe let out a long sigh.
He was very seriously injured, and his breathing was unstable. His face looked solemn and sorrowful.
The other Heavenly Legends on the side of the Green Fox Tribe looked indignant and anxious.
At this moment, Li Yidao was the one to blame. He was self-opinionated and refused to take others’ advice.
“Ha-ha-ha, this is heaven’s will.” Huangfu Chengdao, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan, came on a flying shuttle. He looked at Li Mu and the others from the sky and said, “Li Yidao, do you regret about your arrogance at the banquet in the Heavenly Fox Temple that day?”
Feng Xingyun, the Nether Ghost, also came on black Devil Qi. He stared at Li Mu with his vicious eyes, looking as if he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from Li Mu.
“Your foundation is unstable, and you have no strong background. How dare you be that arrogant? The only result for you is death.” He sneered.
Li Mu slowly stood up. He did not look at the two of them, but instead he looked around, as if he was looking for an opportunity or a passage to escape.
However, under such circumstances, there was obviously no chance to escape at all.
Two masters in the King Realm, Guan Zhen and Shadow Elder, were here. Besides them, there were also Feng Xingyun, Huangfu Chengdao, the protectors of two super Heavenly Legends—Ye Tianxie and Ao Jiuchuan, and other Heavenly Legends. There were at least 40 to 50 people on their side.
They were everywhere...
They blocked every way out.
Even if the chief of the Green Fox Tribe were in his prime, it would still be impossible for him to escape from such an encirclement.
It was almost a dead end.
The killing intent in the air made people’s blood freeze.
Liao Bi’ting’s heart grew cold.
She edged closer to Li Mu to support him.
“Do you know why you end up like this today?” Huangfu Chengdao laughed ironically and said, “You can only blame yourself for being too arrogant and unbridled. You’ve made too many enemies and offended too many people that you shouldn’t have.”
“You have only yourself to blame...” Feng Xingyun said.
At this time, Guan Zhen spoke.
“The chief of Green Fox Tribe, you’ve done your best in the fight today. You can justify yourself to the Green Fox God when you get back. There is no need for you to stay here and go against us. Why don’t you leave with your son? I will not make things difficult for you.”
He looked at the chief of the Green Fox Tribe, who was covered in blood. He adopted a rather mild attitude towards the latter.
Shadow Elder of the Nether Ghost Clan nodded and said in a hoarse voice, “The Nether Ghost Clan doesn’t want to make an enemy of the Heavenly Fox Clan.”
After all, the Green Fox Tribe belonged to the Heavenly Fox Clan. If they really killed the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe today, they would definitely fall out with the Heavenly Fox Clan and offend a powerful and influential master like Bai Yuanshou.
Moreover, a god had appeared in the Green Fox Tribe, making the tribe even more formidable.
“Father...” The young master of the Green Fox Tribe looked at his father.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe smiled bitterly and said, “The Green Fox God wants Li Yidao to be alive. Since the divine order has been issued, how dare I disobey it? If you want to kill Li Yidao, you have to step over my dead body first.”
At such a moment, he demonstrated the might and bearing of the chief of a tribe, which was worthy of respect.
Upon hearing his words, Li Mu couldn’t help feeling moved.
There were indeed some misunderstandings between them when they were in the main residence of the Green Fox Tribe. However, at such a critical moment, the chief of the Green Fox Tribe managed to preserve his dignity and persistence.
“If you really care about old acquaintances, why don’t you give my son and his new friends a way out and let them go? In that way, you will leave a bloodline for the Green Fox Tribe.” The chief of the Green Fox Tribe looked at his son and then glanced at Guan Zhen and Shadow Elder.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe looked very sad. He said, “No. Father, I want to share weal and woe with you.”
Guan Zhen shook his head and said, “If you’re not willing to withdraw, we will not let your son leave.”
They were willing to let the chief of the Green Fox Tribe go because they wanted to show him some mercy.
However, if the chief of the Green Fox Tribe insisted on staying and fighting to the death here, they would show no mercy.
If he died, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe would surely harbor a grudge against them.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe was a young Heavenly Legend. With the support of the Green Fox Tribe, he would surely become an influential giant in the Ziwei Star Zone in the future. The Heavenly Deity Clan, the Nether Ghost Clan, and the other forces involved in the siege today would inevitably be in great trouble.
It they did not root him out, he would definitely rise again.
When the chief of the Green Fox Tribe heard Guan Zhen’s words, he looked upset, but he didn’t say anything else.
“In that case, you may set out on your journey now,” said Guan Zhen.
A divine sword appeared in front of him, shook slightly, and instantly burned. With the tip facing outward, the sword looked like a divine flower blooming in front of him. He was in the middle of the flower bud, and a huge, mysterious rune of swordsmanship contracted and bloomed behind him.
“The Heavenly God Sword Style—Melody of Ten Thousand Swords for sending the chief on his way.”
Guan Zhen shouted.
He thrust out the sword in which ten thousand swords were united as one.
This move was his most effective skill.
Sending the chief of the Green Fox Tribe on his way with the most powerful skill showed Guan Zhen’s respect for the chief of the Green Fox Tribe, a master of martial arts in the Ziwei Star Zone.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe had not recovered from his serious injury and could not even stand steadily, so he was naturally unstable to withstand such a fatal attack.
He stood there holding the sword in his hand and shouted at the sky.
He was welcoming his final fate.
Practitioners would inevitably die in fights.
Today, it was his turn.
The light of the divine sword flashed between heaven and earth.
It engulfed the chief of the Green Fox Tribe.
Just when everyone thought that this master of the Green Fox Tribe was about to die, a fair, slender, beautiful hand suddenly appeared in front of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe. With a gentle clench, it grabbed the light of the divine sword.
Then, everything froze.
It was quiet and peaceful.
The power of Guan Zhen’s “Melody of Ten Thousand Swords” had completely dissipated.
All the people looked shocked.
Li Mu was also shocked.
The owner of that slender, beautiful hand that blocked Guan Zhen’s fatal attack turned out to be...
Ying Yuanyuan.
She ranked 87th on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. She didn’t have much influence, and her strength was ordinary.
When everyone neglected this beautiful woman, she turned up and blocked the heaviest blow between heaven and earth with her tender, beautiful, and seemingly weak hand in the most incredible way.
For a moment, all the people were at a loss for words.
There was a deathly silence between heaven and earth.
The wind howled.
The world seemed to be frozen.
Even Guan Zhen looked at Ying Yuanyuan in disbelief. For a moment, he couldn’t recall who this woman was.
Just then, streams of light green divine light flowed out from Ying Yuanyuan’s body.
She had a kind of godly majesty.
Li Mu suddenly felt that this aura was so familiar to him.
A name popped into his mind.
However, he couldn’t believe it.
“I’m Li Yidao’s real protector,” said Ying Yuanyuan.
Her voice had changed into that of a completely different person.
It was the voice of someone with whom Li Mu was very familiar and the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe and the masters of the Heavenly Deity Clan and Nether Ghost Clan were not unfamiliar.
She was the Green Fox God, Bi Yan.
It was her voice.
Ying Yuanyuan’s body was covered by green divine light, and her eyes also flashed with green light. Her aura had completely changed.
“Possession by the divine power and reincarnation of the soul?”
Shadow Elder exclaimed in a hoarse voice.
Legend had it that gods could pour their divine power into other people’s bodies, as if they had possessed those people. At a certain time, those who were possessed could exert the combat power equivalent to that of the gods possessing them. Most importantly, their consciousness would also be completely controlled by the gods.
Evidently, Ying Yuanyuan was not the Green Fox God.
The real Green Fox God, Bi Yan, had borrowed Ying Yuanyuan’s body and descended into the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.
She did so for a very simple purpose.
She wanted to protect Li Yidao.
Just like what she had done outside the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm before.
Liao Bi’ting let out a cheer, but she soon thought of something. “Since the woman in front of me is the Green Fox God, Bi Yan, where is my best friend, Ying Yuanyuan?”
Li Mu didn’t know what to say.
He had been thinking about something. “If all super Heavenly Legends can bring their own protectors into the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, Bi Yan would have told me, even if the Heavenly Fox Clan had intentionally hidden this information from me.”
Now he finally understood.
Although Bi Yan hadn’t told him, she had entered the secret realm to protect him in person.
Even if Bi Yan did inform him, he would not find a reliable and powerful protector. After all, unlike big clans like the Heavenly Deity Clan and Nether Ghost Clan, he had no strong background, and he had to fight alone.
“Thank you.”
That was what Li Mu said in his mind.
Back then, he brought this little fox girl named Bi Yan out of the Baiyu Dynasty and took care of her along the way out of kindness. He had never expected Bi Yan to do anything for him, but now... This was perhaps the so-called reciprocation of the favor of a drop of water with a gushing spring.
Times and things had changed. Bi Yan was now here to protect Li Mu.
However, Bi Yan had not been awake for long, and she had descended here in the body of someone possessed by her divine power. Was she powerful enough to contend against the two masters in the King Realm, Guan Zhen and Shadow Elder?
Li Mu did not think that after Bi Yan showed up, the people of the Heavenly Deity Clan and Nether Ghost Clan would give up because of her mighty power.
For the major forces trying to hunt Li Mu down, especially the Heavenly Deity Clan and Nether Ghost Clan, there was no turning back.
“Kill!”
As expected, Guan Zhen, who had recovered from the shock, soon launched an attack without hesitation.
He attacked Ying Yuanyuan with his Heavenly God Sword Style.
Shadow Elder grinned as he turned into a cluster of ink-black mist that swept towards Ying Yuanyuan.
“Hah hah hah hah. Today, I have no choice but to kill a god.”
He grinned viciously.
