Chapter 39 The Battle

The night sky began to rain heavily.

The first young person, a slave, opened fire on the black dwarf, followed by the second, the third... the countless, a rain of bullets colliding with the downpour of arrows, the dense crackling sound erupting around the vast altar.

Xu Mu watched more and more slaves stand up, and couldn't help but laugh with joy.

"Let's go." Xu Mu picked up his saber, then instantly charged towards a path leading out of the underground world, flashing like a phantom, violently slicing every black dwarf soldier blocking his way into pieces. Like a comet streaking across the sky, nothing could stop him. In a moment, he was nearing the mountainside.

"So strong!" Zuo Qi and the others, seeing Xu Mu charging ahead, felt their hearts tremble fiercely, because they could sense that Xu Mu was not using any special abilities, but was engaging in a massacre with pure physical strength!

Rattatatat...

Gun barrels spat flames. As one slave after another picked up machine guns, flames erupted, and after a moment, the slave would fall. But the machine gun would immediately be picked up by the next slave.

They followed Xu Mu's footsteps, crushing everything in their path, killing countless black dwarf overseers whom they had previously only looked up to and feared.

"It's Xu Mu, he's definitely Xu Mu! I've seen his weapon that makes noise!" Gan Jiang Jian, held in Nan Feng's hand, roared with some fear. Back then, he had not yet betrayed his word, and Xu Mu had killed people from the Wang family in the Sun Never Sets Plaza of Sun Never Sets City with that very weapon! Kuaishu Pavilion.

Nan Feng charged at the front of the crowd. His tall, plump physique could also easily contend with those third-stage dwarves.

Thump!

After a dull collision, Nan Feng grabbed an armored black dwarf commander and threw him off the cliff. He then replied to Gan Jiang Jian, "Don't overthink it. We're all on the same team. He must have recognized you and me long ago."

Nan Feng looked at Xu Mu's retreating back, his expression somewhat complex. "I followed him for a while. You saw it back then. His command ability was very strong. Let's charge out of here with him first, then figure out other things!"

At the same time, on the other side, Nash had also transformed into a mist, appearing and disappearing, constantly reaping lives on the battlefield. The slaves, without weapons or special abilities, also relied on their numerical advantage, picking up broken stones and gathering them together, killing dwarf after dwarf.

From the beginning to now, the battle scene was almost a one-sided slaughter, and it was a group of slaves without special abilities crushing a group of pampered dwarves.

"Cheer up, the truly strong ones haven't appeared yet," Suna warned Xu Mu from the shadows. For some reason, she couldn't act directly, which was why she had allied with Xu Mu.

"I thought something big was happening. So it's a elf causing trouble behind the scenes!" Seeing the battle situation increasingly being crushed, a powerful black dwarf expert finally couldn't sit still.

He had the same small, ugly features as other black dwarves, but the aura he exuded was entirely different. The moment he appeared, he instantly halted the continuous advance of the human race, his powerful metallic domain blocking Xu Mu's path.

"Move aside, or you'll die." Statues surrounded Xu Mu, their auras terrifying, continuously bombarding the lord's domain, but they couldn't shake it in the slightest.

"You weren't cursed by Lord Black Sorcerer? Strange. It seems I'll have to study you carefully." The dwarf lord spoke to himself, opened a gap in his domain, and instantly let Xu Mu in.

"You actually dare to come in? Then die!" The dwarf laughed wildly, unleashing incredibly powerful metallic energy towards Xu Mu. But at that very moment, he didn't notice a slender figure dash out from Xu Mu's embrace.

"Roar!"

The tiger roared through the mountains, and Qiong Qi revealed its true form. Its terrifying roar, imbued with the pressure of a divine beast, echoed throughout the sinkhole, scaring countless dwarves and slaves into immediate submission.

The dwarf lord opposite him was even more astonished. In his haste to resist, he was pounced on by Qiong Qi, its claws pinning him to the ground, and then its neck was ruthlessly torn apart.

"Pah, so smelly." Qiong Qi revealed its massive fangs, casually spitting out the black dwarf's blood from its mouth. Its deep and powerful eyes, like amber, slowly looked towards the passage ahead.

"Hurry and escape!" Facing him, countless dwarves were filled with terror and no longer had any will to fight, throwing down their weapons and fleeing.

Under Qiong Qi's lead, they advanced unimpeded, soon reaching an altitude of nearly ten thousand meters, with only half the distance remaining to the surface.

"Who is it that is disturbing this old man's artifact refining!?" At the mouth of a cave in the cliff face, a dwarf with skin as dark as obsidian slowly emerged. The powerful pressure radiating from him instantly enveloped the entire sinkhole, making it difficult for some weaker slaves to even breathe.

"Domain Lord." Seeing the arrival, Xu Mu's expression suddenly became solemn, because the opponent was a Domain Lord realm expert. Even he and Qiong Qi combined were no match.

"If he only knows how to refine artifacts, can we try?" Xu Mu asked Qiong Qi. The latter did not answer, but its hunched body and bristling fur were enough to prove everything.

Ultimately, they were outmatched. Being able to escape was already a great feat.

"Damn it." Xu Mu glanced at the crowd about to prostrate themselves behind him, gritting his teeth with reluctance. He didn't want to abandon these people like this.

"Lord Yale has come out! Everyone, don't be afraid!" A dwarf shouted excitedly. One of their clan's most powerful experts had finally appeared, and they no longer had to flee in panic!

"Nan Feng, can you and Gan Jiang Jian handle him?" Xu Mu turned and asked.

"I..." Nan Feng was suddenly called upon and was startled. He and Gan Jiang Jian remained silent for a moment, unsure how to answer.

"What does he mean? Can't he, a fifth-stage initial-stage artifact refiner, handle this himself? Or is he testing if we have ulterior motives?" Nan Feng asked Gan Jiang Jian's spirit.

"Do I even need to ask?" Gan Jiang Jian's voice trembled slightly, because he saw Xu Mu taking out that obsidian saber that made his soul tremble.

"When I ambushed him, I personally saw this kid kill a peak-level Domain Lord with one saber. How could he not be able to handle this dwarf!"

"Gan Jiang Jian, our debt will be settled after we get out." Xu Mu took out the demonic saber, looking somewhat nervously at Gan Jiang Jian.

"Agreed." The latter agreed without hesitation, then transformed into a stream of extremely cold light and charged into the sky, striking Master Yale.

"Sword Spirit!" Master Yale's expression was startled. Then, like an old man seeing his new daughter-in-law, his eyes lit up. He immediately summoned several powerful weapons, all at the half-step Human King level, controlling them to clash with Gan Jiang Jian. Sword light and sword shadows, ice crystals stretching for ten thousand meters, the entire sinkhole was shrouded in the chaotic battle between the two.

Crack! Crack!

The overflowing sword energy sliced through Xu Mu's grass robe. He then changed into a brand new blue shirt from his spatial ring in one second, and then, cooperating with Qiong Qi, charged towards the group of black dwarves blocking their path once more.

This battle shook the entire sinkhole. They fought from night to morning, from sunrise to sunset, sweat and blood soaking their clothes simultaneously. Just as they were about to reach the very top, their path was blocked.

Ahead lay ten thousand meters of frost, freezing the ground and rock walls. Even ability users found it difficult to walk on it, let alone the slaves who were already exhausted.

Xu Mu looked up with tired eyes. He gazed at Gan Jiang Jian and the dwarf locked in a fierce battle not far away, and clenched his saber with a hint of helplessness.

At this level, ability reserves were like vast oceans. In such a confined space, combat could be almost endless. If they let the two continue to fight, the slaves might starve to death before they finished.

"Nash, take them to find another exit first." Xu Mu flipped over and rode on Qiong Qi, then with a roar, he instantly charged into the terrifying sword light and sword shadows.

"Is he crazy!" Below, countless ability users who had lost their abilities stared at Xu Mu in shock. They knew Xu Mu was strong, and the demonic beast he rode was even stronger, but to rashly charge into such a battle was no different from seeking death!

"Gan Jiang, get out of the way!" Xu Mu's eyes were blood red, and the obsidian saber radiated an aura of an ancient demon god.

Gan Jiang Jian was prepared. He risked being struck by Yale's saber on its body, and desperately, quickly retreated to the rear.

"Hmm?" Just as Master Yale was confused, he discovered that his weapons, which he had personally forged and prided himself on, were now all scared and uncontrollable. Immediately after, he also sensed the vast and terrifying aura of the supreme demon god, his soul beginning to tremble.

"What... what level of weapon is this!" His eyes were filled with shock. He even forgot to speak, forgot to dodge. And so, as the demonic saber chopped away all the weapons and treasures he controlled, Gan Jiang Jian seized the opportunity and pierced his chest.

"Pfft!"

Master Yale's dark skin was stained with his own blood.

"Well done." Xu Mu smiled at Gan Jiang Jian. Without him, by the time Yale reacted, the mere pressure of the demon god would have been far from enough to kill Yale.

Now, his brand new blue shirt was already tattered. Those were cuts from the overflowing aura during the recent clashes with those powerful weapons.

And now that Yale was dead, those exquisite weapons and treasures naturally became masterless, no longer posing a threat to him.

Ssss...

Gan Jiang Jian retracted the frost that had adhered to the ground. Xu Mu then led the slaves behind him and continued to rush towards the ground.

"Yale is dead. Everyone, aren't you going to make a move yet!" From the caves at the very top of the black dwarf crowd, four small but powerful figures slowly emerged.

Around each of them floated their personally forged supreme innate weapons. The trident spewed forth rivers and seas, the immortal sword coiled with clouds and mist, the Hun Tian Ling entwined with the void, and the Kong Tong Seal covered the sky.

"I never thought I'd see weapons of this caliber in my lifetime." The dwarf wielding the immortal sword gazed at the demonic saber with admiration. "Such a divine weapon could only have been forged by a legendary Artisan Saint."

"Indeed, a peerless artifact." Another dwarf gazed at the demonic saber with greed and fear. "With the clan leader and Lord Black Sorcerer absent, can the four of us join forces to capture him?"

"Of course, this brat can't unleash the full power of this demonic saber. Let me do it!" The dwarf wielding the Kong Tong Seal grinned ferociously. He had already sensed that Xu Mu's aura was merely superficial. He intended to strike first and seize the precious saber!

Boom!

The terrifying seal flipped downwards, ten thousand meters long and wide, covering the entire sky. It then pressed down indiscriminately, intending to crush all living beings in the sinkhole into paste, including his own clansmen!

"You madman, stop!" Another Domain Lord dwarf roared, using the Hun Tian Ling to entwine the Kong Tong Seal and hold it in mid-air, preventing it from falling.

"The altar is still below! Have you forgotten our dwarf clan's great cause of revival!"

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch this brat escape?" The black dwarf domain lord who was stopped gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Mu. At this moment, Xu Mu was less than a thousand meters from the ground, and would be gone in an instant!
