Right after Li Yunmu spoke, a magatama ¹ fell at the place where the eight-headed great snake had disappeared. Li Yunmu caught it in the air with the divine cyan blade.

The bead should have been in the body of the eight-headed great snake. While thinking about it, Li Yunmu returned to the villagers with Miss An.

The villagers all knelt down on the ground. Their leader then spoke to Li Yunmu and Miss An respectfully. “Glory to the two gods, we hope that you two will continue protecting our Fusang Tribe for eternity.”

After Li Yunmu and Miss An received the respect of the islanders, a shrine was built to worship the two of them.

They were great heroes who had defeated the eight-headed great snake and for that received the faith of the Fusang tribe. In the villagers’ eyes, theirs status was even higher than that of the imperial soldiers.

Li Yunmu and Miss An were enjoying their lives of immortals on an island in the eastern ocean when a white light suddenly descended above the shrine.

A woman wearing white clothes landed on the ground. When she saw Li Yunmu and Miss An asleep inside the shrine, she began to scowl.

“Who exactly are they? Why are the bewitching my followers?”

Li Yunmu was a light sleeper, so when he heard speaking, he immediately went on alert. “Who? Who is in the main hall?”

Li Yunmu’s shout woke Miss An, an she promptly sat up in the bed. “We are gods of here, who are you? Why have you come to the shrine?”

The woman wearing the white dress sighed and said, “You are blaspheming against the goddess of this place, me, and trying to snatch my position. Today I will dye this hall with your blood so the Fusang tribe can see your true colours.”

“Ha ha, you are a god? Then what have you done for Fusang tribe? The eight-headed great snake had become a calamity for them, but you as a god just kept on watching? If it were not for us, who would have bought peace and security to this island?”

Miss An coldly snorted. She didn’t have any favorable opinion of the woman in the white dress standing in front of them.

The white-dressed woman did not stay quiet. “The world of gods has its own rules, so how could we casually assist them in surviving a calamity? It would be going against the natural order and would cause us to receive heavenly punishment!”

“Ha ha ha… you gods are truly selfish. Just to avoid the heavenly punishment, you let mortals suffer, then why should they worship you?”

“You two are just swindlers who know some magic! Today, I will definitely reveal your true colors!”

Li Yunmu took a step forward and said, “You said you are Fusang Tribe’s guardian spirit, but are you really a god?”

The white-dressedd woman lifted her head. “I am the nine-tailed divine fox, the guardian spirit of Fusang Tribe.”

Miss An couldn’t help but sneer at her words. “So aren’t you just a divine beast that claims itself to be a god? You are inferior to a true god!”

“You!”

“Gods will assist mortals and will take the sufferings of mortals on themselves. But you divine beasts won’t understand that.”

“I said, we gods have our own rules. I won’t talk nonsense with you; it’d be better to kill you and use your blood to wash this shrine.”

The nine-tailed divine fox suddenly revealed her nine tails like a fan behind her. Li Yunmu narrowed his eyes, and the divine cyan blade left his hand. It began to circle around the nine-tailed divine fox.

If the divine beast chose to attack, then the divine cyan blade would definitely make all effort to obstruct her.

Instead, a blue pearl appeared in the hand of the nine-tailed divine fox. It advanced toward Li Yunmu and exploded. If the pearl hadn’t been obstructed by the divine cyan blade, its attack would have reached Li Yunmu.

Miss An raised the netherworld sword and thrust toward a vital organ, but it was stopped by one of the nine-tailed divine fox’s tails.

They fluttered continuously until they flung Miss An away.

When Miss An was ruthlessly knocked against the shrine wall and even spat out blood, Li Yunmu knew that the nine-tailed divine fox wasn’t easy to deal with.

Its strength quickly reached ancient god level. Although Li Yunmu’s strength right then was sufficient to defeat an ancient god, battling a divine beast was extremely strenuous.

Miss An proved to be slightly weaker in front of the divine beast, for which she was instantly targeted.

“Accept your death!”

Red suddenly flickered across the nine-tailed divine fox’s eyes, and countless beams of red light from her body. They bode ill for Miss An and Li Yunmu.

They were instantly engulfed by the hegemonic red light.

Dust rose in the shrine, and the nine tailed divine fox snorted before turning around to leave.

Although the strangers showed up to be somewhat more formidable than ordinary people, there was still a large disparity between them and true gods.

“You think that you can kill us with such an attack?”

Li Yunmu’s voice echoed in the shrine, causing the nine-tailed divine fox’s complexion to change instantly. She had used her full strength in that attack, so no one besides true gods should have been able to survive it!

She had wanted to kill Li Yunmu and Miss An in one go and had even considered the possibility that they would be able to stop her attack. They were truly formidable!

It finally aroused her battle intent!

Metal armor was wrapped up Li Yunmu, who suddenly advanced toward the nine-tailed divine fox. He launched a punch with enough power to shake mountains, instantly throwing the nine-tailed divine fox away.

When she stabilized herself, her eyes were filled with astonishment. His strength… How could it be so formidable? He seemed to be completely different from a swindler who could only use some magic.

The strength of the two strangers surpassed the power than any human could possess, quickly approaching the realm of gods.

Blood seeped out of the corners of the nine-tailed divine fox’s mouth. “You are playing with fire and asking to be burnt!”

“Then let’s see whether you have the power to defeat me or not!”

After saying that, Li Yunmu almost used his full strength. Their figures flashed in the hall, and soon, the nine-tailed divine fox no longer able to defend itself, which left her incomparably astonished.

Could it be that the more that human fought the stronger he became? She was one hundred percent certain that he wasn’t an ordinary powerhouse, but that his strength had already come close to the realm of gods!

Li Yunmu smiled slightly and said, “If I didn’t have to protect anyone, you would have been defeated a long time ago. It would be better for you to surrender now! You gods don’t want to act and remain as spectators when devils kill mortals, but you do your best to exterminate those who stand on their side? What sort of logic is that?”
