Eternal Life as False Emperor
Chapter 263 - 228: Annihilating the White Lotus
"How, how is it possible..."
Staring at the blood-colored giant beast continuously attacking from afar, the White Lotus Saint Mother was shocked, her heart filled with astonishment.
And... a hint of fear.
How could a mere mortal achieve such a feat!
"No, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it...!"
"Ah...!!!"
She roared, quickly forming seals with her hands. The giant white lotus in the distance spun rapidly and in an instant, returned in front of her, standing between her and Xu Mujun.
"Clang...!!!"
The huge collision sound came, and a fine crack appeared immediately between the blood-colored long knife in Xu Mujun’s hand and the white lotus, the tremendous booming sound even made the surrounding people’s eardrums tear, causing them to cover their ears involuntarily.
"A cultivator, is it..."
Xu Mujun muttered, suddenly slapping the surface of the white lotus with one hand.
The blood-colored light and the white lotus mingled, instantly producing a harsh corrosive sound.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Mujun flipped and leapt, directly stepping on the gigantic white lotus, and leapt toward the White Lotus Saint Mother again.
"Courting death!"
The White Lotus Saint Mother roared again, pointing a single finger towards the gigantic white lotus.
"Hiss... sizzle..."
Instantly, a large amount of white flames surged from the white lotus, forming a white cage, firmly enclosing Xu Mujun within. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Xu Mujun backhanded a slash at the white cage, immediately causing intense tremors.
"Hahaha... Xu Mujun, this is you courting death, don’t blame this old body!"
The White Lotus Saint Mother laughed heartily, this white lotus was her magical artifact, how dare Xu Mujun approach it?
A cultivator’s magical artifact, especially a life-bound artifact, is intertwined with the cultivator’s mind.
Even other cultivators dare not come close, let alone Xu Mujun, who is just a mortal?
She quickly formed seals with her hands, ready to trap Xu Mujun within the white lotus.
But the next moment, another huge impact transmitted through her mind, causing her body to pause for a brief moment.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Another massive impact sound came, she gritted her teeth and looked.
She saw on the gigantic white lotus, Xu Mujun grabbing his blood-colored long knife, slashing it again and again on the white cage.
"White lotus... how is this possible? A mortal..."
"Boom!"
Again a loud crash, a chain of the white lotus cage was directly severed, the gigantic white lotus trembled violently.
As the cage was cut, the White Lotus Saint Mother’s mind surged with intense pain, her vision blackened, she almost fainted.
A life-bound magical artifact, under a cultivator’s augmentation, can indeed double its power.
However, once the life-bound artifact is damaged, the cultivator’s mind will also suffer heavy damage.
Sure enough, taking advantage of the White Lotus Saint Mother’s mind’s huge shock, Xu Mujun rushed within ten meters again.
"A mortal...!"
The White Lotus Saint Mother gritted her teeth, a metallic taste arose, the sharp pain on the tip of her tongue quickly made her come to her senses.
With a flick of her hand, a beam of white light shot out instantly, shooting straight in front of Xu Mujun.
Xu Mujun grasped the knife with both hands, fiercely slashing onto the white beam.
The white light trembled violently, revealing a white flying sword within!
"Clang...!"
The flying sword shook dramatically, while the White Lotus Saint Mother took this opportunity to rise a beam of white light beneath her feet, rapidly retreating her figure.
"Where do you think you’re going...!"
Xu Mujun roared, exerting force with his hand, the blood-colored light flared, instantly breaking the white flying sword.
Seeing the White Lotus Saint Mother trying to escape, he immediately took a step forward.
"Boom!"
Blood-colored light surged, instantly sealing off the space within a kilometer radius centered around him once more.
The Martial God’s Will, surprisingly able to interfere with reality, locked down this area of space.
The White Lotus Saint Mother, initially sprinting for her life, suddenly noticed her speed becoming extremely sluggish.
Even with the augmentation of a magical artifact, she felt like she was trapped in a swamp.
Instinctively turning back, Xu Mujun had already caught up once more.
"Xu Mujun...!"
Her heart trembled once again, she slapped her storage pouch once more, a white scarf appeared, which she threw toward Xu Mujun.
The white scarf billowed in the wind, swiftly expanding into a colossal fabric several meters long, descending toward Xu Mujun.
Taking this chance, the White Lotus Saint Mother brought out two Divine Movement Talismans from her storage pouch, slapping them onto her legs.
With the augmentation of the Divine Movement Talismans, her speed finally recovered once again.
"Swish...!"
The white scarf descended from the sky, encircling Xu Mujun several times, attempting to bind him.
But Xu Mujun slashed once more, his sharp sword Qi creating an immediate rift in the scarf.
As this rift appeared, the speed of the scarf’s encircling slowed down.
"Hmm?"
Xu Mujun was somewhat surprised as he glanced at the scarf, not expecting this seemingly thin fabric to withstand his slash.
But this thought only flickered for a moment, he grasped his blood-colored long knife with one hand which flickered suddenly, manifesting towering mountains in mirage form.
Slashing down, as if countless mountain illusions fell from the sky, directly crashing onto the white scarf.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz...!"
Tremendously buzzing sounded, the knife blade and the scarf frantically rubbing, infinite divine light flickered, and at the intersection of the knife blade and the scarf, dense cracks appeared once more.
"Crack!"
Finally, accompanied by the sound of friction, the scarf was ultimately severed by Xu Mujun in one stroke.
White flames swept in, instantly engulfing the entire scarf, turning into a burst of flames that dispersed.
The blood-colored light flickered, Xu Mujun once again broke through the obstruction of the white scarf, darting toward the White Lotus Saint Mother.
Sensing the approaching aura from behind, the White Lotus Saint Mother grew even more terrified in her heart.
After all, she was a cultivator, adopted by the White Lotus Sect over fifty years ago, she quickly became a holy mother of the sect with her cultivation talent.
She had hardly engaged in combat for decades, relying on various magical artifacts to crush her opponents when facing strong enemies.
Even when encountering peers, issues were handled through peaceful negotiations.
After all, there were not many cultivators in the Spiritless Land, not to mention limited spiritual objects to contend for.
Among cultivators, conflicts were avoided if possible.
She had never engaged in combat with an evenly matched opponent.
In mere seconds, she was pushed to this extent by a mortal martial artist she had always looked down on.
"Boom!"
Three more talismans flew from her hand, transforming into blazing flames blocking Xu Mujun’s path.
Another slash, the flames that the three talismans converted into were immediately extinguished.
"Huff...!"
The sound of heavy breathing came from Xu Mujun’s mouth, the White Lotus Saint Mother, who was still fleeing, suddenly froze.
She had exhausted all her means, yet still could not stop Xu Mujun’s approach.
Thus, what remained was only...
Strangely, the White Lotus Saint Mother suddenly stopped, turning around to gaze at Xu Mujun.
On her aged face, an odd smile appeared.
It seemed appreciative, yet mocking, but more so was resignation.
Xu Mujun strode forward, without hesitation slashing down with the blood-colored long knife in his hand.
"White Lotus Sacred Fire, burn my remaining body;"
"The Supreme has decreed, Heaven and Earth’s mysterious order."
"Earth fire and Feng Shui, only I am enlightened;"
"Mother of Non-birth, Hometown of the True Void!"
The strange murmuring came from the White Lotus Saint Mother.
Her aged face, facing the blood-colored long knife descending from the sky, beamed more radiantly with a smile.
"Xu Mujun, the White Lotus Sacred Fire will never be extinguished!"
"I... will be waiting for you!"
"Hahaha..."
"Splurt!"
In her reckless laughter, the White Lotus Saint Mother was beheaded by Xu Mujun in one stroke!!!
