The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 439 Taking Off the Golden Hoop

“Hahahaha, I’ve told you to be a lamb and cooperate so you don’t have to suffer.
But you didn’t listen…” Li Mu gloated.

This Fallen-soul Bell was indeed a good treasure.
Once the bell rang, the opponents were all knocked to the ground.
What was more amazing was that it could kill people without spilling blood.
Such a compassionate weapon was definitely a must-have for home travel, self-defense, and crafty acquisition.

“You guys, get over here and let me search you.
Take out all your treasures!” Without looking back, Li Mu shouted at the man with straight united eyebrows, the man with a hawk nose, and the other two from the Hunyuan Sect.

But no one replied.

“Did you hear me? Is your skin itchy for another good beat?” Li Mu turned back.
He was startled to see that the four of them were paralyzed on the ground, twitching uncontrollably as if having a seizure.

“What has happened?”

At another look, he found that Guo Yuqing was swaying at the entrance of the hall as if completely drunk, struggling to prop himself up against the pillar…

“Uh, sorry, accidental injury, accidental!”

Li Mu apologized, his face burning with embarrassment.

He had not had time to thoroughly refine the Fallen-soul Bell, so he had not fully grasped its power.
As a result, his one strike with it not only subdued the others on the scene but also his own company.

Judging by the situation, the four disciples of the Hunyuan Sect and Brother Guo could not recover in a short time.

Guo Yuqing flickered Li Mu a reassuring look, then sat down on the ground leaning against the pillar and began to practice his Cultivation Method to recover his power.
He was the first to notice the danger a moment and also the first to withdraw from the hall, so his injury was the lightest and his recovery could be the fastest.

Li Mu nodded at him.

There seemed to be no other way around.

He still had to do it himself.

He first came to the old woman with the black cane, Ignoring her vicious and resentful look, Li Mu surveyed the old woman with his Third Eye and immediately took away all her storage instruments.
Then, he said, “Be honest, are there any other treasures? Don’t give up your life for material stuff.
To tell you the truth, I— Wu Youren, from the Heavenly Devil Sect— am quite brutal…”

Overwhelmed by anxiety and exasperation, the old woman with the black cane passed out.

The wealth and treasures she had collected for her whole life were in those storage instruments.
Li Mu was too wicked.
He even took away the old man’s hairpin, earrings, and other accessories… With that, how could she still have any other treasures?

“Faking your death?” Li Mu snarled furiously.
But when he looked closely, he found that the old woman was really knocked out by anger, so he let go of her.

Then, Li Mu strolled to the witch tribe with a smile.

All of them had a dull look in their eyes, only the little baby in the arms of the lovely girl was gritting his teeth.
Though he could not move his hands or feet, he stared at Li Mu and said spitefully, “You are Wu Youren from Heavenly Devil Sect, right? Good, I’ll bear your name in my mind.
You wait and see.
Later when I…”

Clatter!

“You dumb kid!” Li Mu directly raised his hand and gave the baby a flick on the forehead.
Then, he rudely snatched the Creator’s Jade Plate the baby was clenching.

That thing was a precious treasure.
Li Mu had noticed it at first glance.

“Bring it on…” The kid was vexed.
He scrambled to stand up.

“Listen, be a good boy.” Li Mu’s fingers landed another flick on his forehead.
Two large red bumps quickly emerged on the kid’s forehead, as though he had sprouted two horns.

The kid shed tears due to the pain.
He struggled a few times, and then, fainted, too.

“Well, you guys do have quite a temper.
Now, another one has fainted.”

A moment later, Li Mu swaggered to the pair of sisters.

“Brother, I only have this pair of earrings, which is the most valuable thing I carry.
You can take it.” The elder sister named Bu Feiyan said with a smile.
Her body already could not move.

“If so, thank you, Miss.” Li Mu unceremoniously took off the earrings of Bu Feiyan.

“Jerk, if you dare to touch my sister…” The younger sister, who was quite protective toward her elder sister threatened in desperation, “I’ll chop you up!”

Li Mu took no notice of her but just gazed at Bu Feiyan and said, “Miss, what else valuable you have? Why not hand them over at a time?”

Bu Feiyan did not know what to say to him.
“He is a young man at the age of being dominated by hormones.
But why doesn’t he show any favor to a beautiful girl?” A few moments later, she uttered, “I’ve already given you all the treasures I have…”

“I don’t buy it.
Miss, as you are so beautiful, you must have a lot of precious stuff…” Li Mu stroked his chin and said, “I’d like to search you with my own hands.”

“You… You don’t want to be reckless!” Bu Feiyan looked a little flustered.
She was very confident in her appearance.
So, she was afraid that when the rude young man touched her body, he would lose his self-control and do something that would incur the greatest indignation of God.

Even if he did not do it, her reputation would be ruined if that wretched boy lay hands on her chaste body.
Then, how could she have the face to continue living in that world?

In the end, she had to come clean and hand Li Mu dozens of treasures she carried.

“Haha, this Miss is really beautiful and kind-hearted.
Now that you’ve given me so many treasures, I won’t run a body search on you.” Li Mu announced, very satisfied.

“Jerk! One day, I will chop you up!” The younger sister bellowed, flames of fury dancing in her eyes.

Li Mu lifted his hand and gave the little girl a flick.
“Little girl, you are already so fierce at such a young age.
You might not get any man to marry you when you grow up, and you will be a virgin forever.”

“I am the Virgin Goddess already.
I…” The younger sister blurted out.
Suddenly, as though something occurred to her, the girl quickly held her tongue.

“Haha, little Virgin Goddess, what kind of treasures do you have? You might as well hand them over, Well, I noted that the Dao-using method you performed before is quite nice.
I, Wu Youren from Heavenly Devil Sect, happen to run short of a good Dao-using method.
Just give me.” Li Mu said beamingly.

“You wish!” The younger sister rejected righteously.

“In this case,” Li Mu scratched his chin and said, “then I will just have your broadsword.” With that, he made to yank the long broadsword the little girl gripped.

At that, the younger sister yelled desperately, “This is my natal broadsword! It is useless to you even if you take it away… Well, I can give you the Dao-using method, okay?” She was almost scared to tears.

At last, Li Mu gained a broadsword manual titled Chaotic Cloak Broadsword-using Method.
He opened it and found that it was indeed a book on a very subtle broadsword-using method.
Then, he nodded with satisfaction and said, “Well, listen, the stuff you two offered made me very content, hahaha…”

In the end, Li Mu came to the old man wearing a golden hoop and the girl cladding in a red bellyband.

“Big brother, Nannan is very poor.
Nannan can’t even afford a set of clothes.
All I have is this belly band to cover my body.
Don’t take Nannan’s only clothes, please!” The little girl fixed Li Mu an imploring look, her big watery eyes gleaming expectantly.

Li Mu thought about it.
Sure, it would not be very nice to let the others know he had robbed the little girl of her belly band.
But he had already registered that the girl’s red belly band and that red silk were actually two unique treasures.

“My fox, Daji, doesn’t have a belly band to wear.
This one really comes in handy.”

At that thought, Li Mu justified, “Your parents are too irresponsible.
You are a big girl, but they failed to give some proper clothes to you.
Well, don’t worry, I won’t simply take your belly band.
Instead, I’ll exchange my decent clothes for your belly band… Come on, I’ll give you some pieces…”

With that, he yanked off the belly band of the little girl who was about three or four years old, and then took a piece of his own clothes in his storage space, and unceremoniously put it on the little girl.

The old man wearing a golden hoop gritted his teeth in anger.
Nonetheless, as he had not recovered his strength, he could do nothing about it.

Li Mu stashed the red belly away with a smile, then, snatched the red badger without hesitation.
He was elated, because he had found the best present for his cute Daji.

“Noooo… Big brother is a jerk! He even robbed a little girl’s stuff…” Nannan was suffocated with anger, her eyes nearly popping out of the sockets.

Li Mu blushed a little.
With a guilty conscience, he countered, “When did I rub you? This is called exchanging…”

After that, he looked at the burly old man, and his eyes fell on the golden hoop.
Li Mu reckoned that it should be a treasure, because it looked extraordinary in quality.
It would be nice if he could have it by force.

“If you can take this hoop off, I will not blame you for your rudeness of grabbing Nannan’s treasures.
Instead, I will also see you as a benefactor for my life.” The old man sneered.
He had long seen through Li Mu’s intentions.

No one could lift that restriction on his head but that man.

“Then I give it a shot, haha!” Li Mu said, reaching for the golden hoop.

The old man gave a cold laugh.

But then, he was stunned.

Because Li Mu had taken off the golden hoop as if uprooting a weed.
He brandished it in his hand and bragged, “This is quite simple…”

Yet, before he finished his words, an abrupt change occurred.

A force as mighty as the sea swept directly across the entire Fairy Hall.
Li Mu felt that the unstoppable power was coming right at his face, suffocating him.
Like the wheat in the wind, he was strained to keep balance and soon stumbled backward.

“Jesus! What’s happening?”

Li Mu knew at once that he might have been fooled.

The shrieks of fear rang in the hall.

This extremely dreadful force was emitted right from the old man, who had been removed from the golden hoop.
As the strong force spread, layers of cyclones visible to the naked eye circulated the old man’s body.
Waves of air surged and engulfed the surroundings.

Holding the Fallen-soul Bell in one hand, Li Mu retreated to where Guo Yuqing was in an instant and cast a protective shield for him.

The old man’s look was dull, as though he had not realized what had happened.
Red hairs shot out from the old man’s skin and grew wildly.
His face and neck were soon covered in fine red hairs.

With every red hair that sprouted out, the strength of that old man increased a little.

It appeared that something had gotten out of control all of a sudden.

“Hahahaha…” The old man suddenly broke into laughter.
He raised his chin and laughed heartily, then, tears of joy trickled down.
He looked up at the sky, and then, from the eyes, erupted two shots of golden light, which lifted the dome of the Fairy Hall straight away and shot into the void like two swords.

To everyone’s surprise, the old man had had a tail between his buttocks.

A monkey’s tail.

The burly old man had transformed into a giant monkey.
The red hair that had covered his body was bright like a fire.
He seemed to be indescribably potent, enigmatic, and mystery.

“Grandpa Ma, what’s happened to you?” Nannan, who was wrapped in Li Mu’s overlarge coat, looked up at the monkey in slight fear.

“Boy, you’re in trouble!” The girl from the witch tribe screamed in panic and snapped at Li Mu Way.
“Do you know what have you done? You’ve released a criminal! Boy, now it’s not only your forehead that bears the mark of death but also all your brain— now you are doomed!”

The old woman with the black cane, who had recovered from the coma when no one was looking, goggled at the giant monkey glowing red.
Then, as if something crossed her mind, she remarked, “Awakened.
The restriction lifted… Hahaha, very good!” She, too, looked at Li Mu, and said smugly, “You’ve taken off his golden hoop! You are courting your own death!”
