The Reversal of Heaven Begins with The Smiling, Proud Wanderer

"Well done! I'll show you what true power is! Heavenly Scale Halberd Technique - Fish Scale Halberd!"

Lin Mu let out a long roar, like a dragon's cry, and fearlessly launched a counter-charge against the advancing shield carts, the forest of spears, and the seemingly endless steel army!

One man and one horse, charging towards the towering waves!

In his hand, the halberd suddenly transformed into a violent, blood-red whirlwind, its shadows overlapping, truly impenetrable.

Blinding lightning crackled and surged around the halberd, emitting a series of popping sounds.

A phantom image of an electric carp made of lightning instantly condensed at the tip of the halberd and rapidly expanded, transforming in the blink of an eye into a colossal creature three zhang long, lifelike and exuding a destructive aura.

"break!"

Lin Mu dragged his halberd out, moving at will, and the giant electric carp roared and charged out.

"Boom!"

Whether it was the heavy shield carts or the soldiers wielding giant shields and spears, they were all torn apart like paper by the impact of the electric carp, which contained the power of heaven and earth.

No bones left!

The soldiers who came up from behind were like giant lawnmowers running at full power, being harvested row by row by the blood-red whirlwind and thunderous power, their lives falling like weeds.

At the same time, Lin Mu secretly activated the mental cultivation technique of "Three Blades of Avici".

This extremely evil and wicked sword technique (halberd technique) thrives on this battlefield where countless lives are taken!

Endless killing intent, death intent, resentment intent, and fear intent surged towards Lin Mu like rivers flowing into the sea, being absorbed by him and nourishing his "power"!

His momentum surged and soared at a visible speed!

His body was even surrounded by a thick black aura that seemed to be real, a manifestation of countless negative energies, making him look like a world-destroying demon god who had stepped out from the deepest part of the Nine Nether Hell!

Some of the soldiers who were close to Lin Mu were affected by the extremely evil aura in the world. Their minds were momentarily confused, as if they had been forcibly dragged into a gloomy, terrifying, and endlessly painful hellish illusion, and they felt great fear in their hearts.

Some soldiers stood frozen, their eyes vacant, letting their comrades charge at them or be torn apart by the subsequent halberd winds.

Some were so terrified that they went mad, wildly swinging their weapons and slashing indiscriminately, unable to distinguish friend from foe.

Even worse, some completely broke down, letting out shrill screams, turning around and running away desperately, wanting nothing more than to get away from this god of death who brought endless terror.

Those at the back, unaware of the situation ahead, charged forward solely on orders and momentum, causing chaos and mutiny that further exacerbated the collapse of their formation.

Chapter 97: Bloodbath on All Sides

Compared to the gradually disorganized army, Lin Mu, feeling the power feedback from the Fangtian Halberd, let out a long roar and actually used the Fangtian Halberd to unleash the essence of the Avici Three Blades.

As the halberd blade was swung, what burst forth was no longer simple crimson energy, but countless fine, sharp, and destructive gray-black energy blades!

These air blades formed a death storm, like a gigantic meat grinder, crashing into the enemy ranks.

Hundreds and thousands of Qing soldiers seemed to be subjected to the torture of slow slicing at the same time. Their armor, clothes, and flesh were cut by countless invisible blades and instantly became fragmented, with not a single piece of flesh intact. The scene was extremely bizarre and terrifying!

What's even more chilling is that the spilled blood, still warm from the body, seemed to be drawn by some invisible and terrifying force, turning into fine blood-red mist, as if summoned, and frantically flowing into the halberd that Lin Mu was wildly wielding!

The dark red halberd, like parched land receiving rain, greedily absorbed a massive amount of blood.

As it absorbed the fresh blood, the halberd became even more crimson and glistening, as if it had come to life, and even trembled slightly!

On the halberd blade, an eerie crimson light faintly emanated, and the buzzing sound grew louder and louder, as if the bloodthirsty "867" beast, which had been starving for ten thousand years, had finally been satisfied and let out an excited roar!

Lin Mu could clearly feel the joy and desire emanating from the weapon in his hand, as well as the pure and powerful life energy and bloodthirsty aura that emanated from the halberd!

This powerful force surged into his body, continuously nourishing and strengthening his physical meridians, and replenishing the energy he had expended in the battle.

It even subtly propelled his cultivation towards a more profound and powerful level!

The initial calm and mockery in his eyes were gradually replaced by a burning and excited fighting spirit, which stemmed from the extreme pleasure of his rapidly increasing strength and the complete stimulation of his killing instinct!

"Hahaha! That was exhilarating! So exhilarating! The battle was awesome!"

Receiving feedback from the Fangtian Halberd, Lin Mu's momentum soared, and the power within his body seemed inexhaustible.

With a loud laugh, he suddenly swung his halberd, and the giant electric carp that had been rapidly spinning around him and protecting him suddenly let out a deafening roar and shot out!

Wherever the electric carp passed, it was truly like a savage beast charging into a wheat field, or a hot knife cutting through butter, plowing out a terrifying bloody path hundreds of meters long, covered with charred remains!

Wherever it went, men and horses fell, shields shattered and armor cracked; no one could stop it in the slightest!

Standing atop the chariot, Yan Xiaoyi, momentarily stunned by his mental breakdown, felt his vision filled with blinding lightning. Before he could even react, he was completely engulfed by the raging electric carp.

"boom--!!!"

A deafening explosion rang out.

The terrifying energy contained within the electric carp was released instantly, not only completely annihilating Yan Xiaoyi, but also blowing up his chariot and hundreds of soldiers nearby. Limbs, broken arms, and shattered weapons fell like rain.

Yan Xiaoyi, a ninth-rank archer, is dead!

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Lin Mu couldn't help but let out another long roar, the sound waves rolling like thunder, which actually overwhelmed the roar of ten thousand horses galloping on the battlefield, the wails of the dying, and the deafening battle shouts.

He was caught up in the thrill of the battle and no longer confined himself to his horse. With a swift movement, he leaped off the horse like a roc spreading its wings, landing firmly on his feet. Holding the halberd with its eerie red light surging and buzzing incessantly, he took the initiative to charge into the densest and most turbulent part of the enemy army!

He completely let go of his inhibitions and began to perfectly integrate the terrifying atmosphere and exquisite moves of "The Three Blades of Avici" into his own halberd techniques.

He unleashed his terrifying power to the fullest extent, growing stronger with each battle and as if hell itself had descended upon him!

"First move - Bloodbath in All Directions!"

Lin Mu spun rapidly, like a high-speed, blood-red top, his halberd drawing perfect yet deadly blood-red arcs.

In an instant, the shadows of halberds appeared one after another, like countless blood-red lotuses representing death blooming at the same time!

The fierce and incomparable crimson energy, imbued with the sense of utter desolation, surged and shot out in all directions like a shockwave!

The Qing soldiers within a radius of thirty feet, regardless of the weapons they wielded or the heavy armor they wore, fell in droves as if they were being harvested by an invisible scythe.

Their blood, as if forcibly drawn by an invisible hand, turned into a thicker, scarlet blood mist, surging wildly toward the halberd dancing in the center.

The red light on the halberd grew even more intense.

"Second move - Unending slaughter!"

Lin Mu transformed into a blood-red afterimage, moving at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow. He darted and flashed through the dense army formation like a ghost, each appearance bringing widespread death.

Wherever they went, they left behind terrifying paths paved entirely with corpses and blood, where no life could survive even a moment.

The red light of the halberd was now as intense as a burning crimson flame. With each flash, it accurately took away dozens of lives. The more blood and baleful energy it absorbed, the more terrifying and frightening its power and Lin Mu's speed became.

Lin Mu's aura surged wildly in the endless slaughter, seemingly without limit, growing stronger with each battle, as if there were no end in sight!

The morale of the Qing army finally collapsed completely in the face of this inhuman horror.

Large-scale routs began to occur.

No matter how the officers suppressed or even executed deserters, they could not stop this avalanche-like rout.

"Master Ye!"

Qin Ye's face was deathly pale, his voice hoarse, and with his last glimmer of hope, he looked at Ye Liuyun, the old man in blue robes who had been concentrating intently with an extremely solemn expression.

He knew that ordinary troops could no longer stop this monster.

A complex and resolute look flashed in Ye Liuyun's eyes. He sighed deeply, knowing that he could no longer stand idly by.

Otherwise, the entire Southern Qing army would have been wiped out here today!

With a swift movement, he emerged like a drifting cloud, his graceful posture sweeping over the heads of countless soldiers. He then lightly struck Lin Mu, who was rampaging through the army, with a palm strike.

This palm strike appeared slow and gentle, but in reality it contained the terrifying palm force of the Flowing Cloud Scattered Hand, as vast as the sea and endlessly resilient. The air seemed to freeze, attempting to forcibly stop Lin Mu's unstoppable momentum.

Almost at the same instant, an extremely eerie black shadow, as if seeping out from the shadows on the ground, appeared silently on Lin Mu's side.

The newcomer was shrouded in a wide, ancient black robe, with a black cloth covering his eyes; he was none other than the temple's messenger!

He held an iron rod and silently stabbed at Lin Mu. Although he had no true qi, his strength and speed surpassed those of a Grandmaster.

Two of the world's top experts, one openly and one covertly, launched their attacks simultaneously.

A decisive victory has been achieved!

"So you finally couldn't resist and came? We've been waiting for you!"

Lin Mu's indifferent voice, tinged with disdain, emanated from his black god suit...

In a flash, Lin Mu's left hand suddenly grabbed at the void, and his vast and boundless spiritual power instantly materialized, forming an incomparably condensed and indestructible invisible wall of energy, which crashed head-on into Ye Liuyun's seemingly gentle but actually mountain-shattering Flowing Cloud Scattered Hand.

"boom--!"

A deafening, explosive sound rang out.

A sudden gust of wind arose, and the shockwave spread wildly in all directions. Hundreds of soldiers around were struck as if by an invisible giant hand, and were directly thrown off the ground, their tendons and bones broken!

Ye Liuyun felt as if his palm strike had hit an indestructible wall of copper and iron. The force of the impact surged like a tidal wave, causing his blood and qi to churn violently. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and his body involuntarily flew backward.

After struggling to dissipate the force of the fall, Ye Liuyun staggered several steps upon landing, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

At the same instant, Lin Mu didn't even look, and with a backhand flick, the blade of his halberd suddenly erupted with dazzling, extremely yang and powerful terrifying lightning, like a roaring thunder dragon, which fiercely crashed into the iron rod of the temple messenger.

"Zi la——!"

Like Wu Zhu, the temple messenger was an advanced bionic robot. Under the powerful electric shock, the circuitry inside its body was burned out, causing an instant short circuit, and it fell straight to the ground.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Mu stored the temple messenger with mobility into the system space and turned to look at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun suppressed his surging blood and qi, his fighting spirit growing even stronger. The dignity of a Grandmaster would not allow him to retreat so easily.

He pounced again with lightning speed, unleashing a flurry of palm strikes. The overwhelming momentum of the flowing clouds was like waves crashing against the shore, attempting to trap Lin Mu with exquisite fighting techniques.

"Unbelievable!"

Lin Mu snorted coldly, and the halberd in his hand, which had absorbed a large amount of blood and was now shining with an eerie red light, suddenly burst forth with ten thousand feet of light once again.

He straightened his halberd, using it as a spear, and unleashed a simple, unadorned straight thrust!

"break!"

This thrust contained the ultimate power, speed, and terrifying killing intent concentrated into a single point.

In front of the halberd tip, the air was compressed to the extreme, emitting a violent roar like a sonic boom, and the space itself seemed to be slightly distorted.

1.7 Ye Liuyun was horrified to discover that his proud and unpredictable Flowing Cloud Qi was easily pierced like paper in the face of this absolute power and speed.

All the variations and countermeasures seemed pale and powerless in the face of this direct thrust that could overcome any technique.

He twisted his body with all his might, using his movement technique to the extreme to dodge to the side, but he still felt the chill of the halberd tip brush past him, and he was a fraction too slow!

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted out.

An arm, dripping with a spray of scalding Grandmaster's blood, flew into the air!

"Ugh—!"

Ye Liuyun let out a scream of pain and shock, staggering backward while clutching his severed shoulder wound. His face turned ashen, and his breath rapidly weakened.

The blood of a grandmaster, scattered on the dust, is a shocking sight!

The whole process was clean and efficient, almost a complete rout!

At this moment, Lin Mu had already rushed to the front of the central army.

They were only a hundred steps away from head coach Qin Ye.

He raised his head, his cold gaze beneath the mask fixed on the pale-faced old marshal of Nanqing, as if he were looking at a dead man.

His gaze caught sight of Fan Xian and Wu Zhu not far away, as well as the Red Riders and Black Riders guarding Fan Xian.

"Fan Xian, what are you doing here? Take your men and get out of here."

Chapter 98: Slaying Generals and Seizing Flags

Fan Xian in the TV series is indeed a decent person, and Lin Mu's impression of him is also quite good.

This kid has a powerful background, with five incredibly influential "fathers" standing behind him. If you really want to mess with him, you have to eliminate those five people as well, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

If Fan Xian knows what's good for him and leaves on his own, Lin Mu wouldn't mind letting him live.

But what if Fan Xian refuses...?

Then we can only wait and see if his fathers are tough enough to withstand the killing, and if they've hidden themselves well enough!
