The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 630 Two Sages Versus Two Holy Sages

The eruption of the woman sage’s strength certainly astounded everyone.

The ghost army of the Bone Sacred Mountain whooped clamorously.

By contrast, the members of the three major ghost sects felt a wave of lingering fear. They found it hard to believe that they were actually fighting against such a strong enemy moments ago.

For a long time, the ghost cultivators had been worshiping the Holy Sages of the Three Divine Sects. But now, seeing that the woman sage of the Bone Sacred Mountain could fight against Holy Sage Black Sun on her own, their fear for her suddenly drew level with their admiration for the Holy Sages. The former was directly proportional to the latter.

In particular, the three Ghost Lords, namely Niu Ben, the head of the Lost Land, and Xue Yan, all felt like the end of the world was about to befall.

The jade-colored stone broadsword in the hands of the man sage was unstoppable. The first hack had caused them to be severely injured.

When the second strike came out, the three Ghost Lords clearly felt the coming of death.

“Holy Sage, help me...” The head of the Lost Land screamed.

A very abrupt voice sounded beside him as a response.

“Loser.”

In the void, a piece of white bone suddenly appeared. As if a shark lurking in the dark current suddenly showing up to catch its prey, the white bone abruptly swooped down on the man sage of the Bone Sacred Mountain.

The moment the white bone appeared, it shattered the man sage’s Broadsword Momentum and saved the three Ghost Lords from the strike.

“Clink, clank, clink!”

Sudden collisions broke out in the void, generating clusters of sparks, which constantly changed angles trying to bombard the man sage. The broadsword and the white bone kept colliding. It looked as if dazzling fireworks were blooming in the direst time and space.

The man sage kept retreating. His feet kept stepping on the space barrier in the void, leaving cracks on it. It could be seen what kind of pressure he had to bear when he raised his broadsword to block the white bone.

In the blink of an eye, he had retreated hundreds of meters.

“It’s Holy Sage White Bone Shadow!” the head of the Lost Land shouted excitedly.

The whole battlefield was instantly in an uproar.

“Has another Holy Sage from the Three Divine Sects made his move?”

The three Holy Sages of the Three Divine Sects were namely Holy Sage Black Sun, Holy Sage White Bone Shadow, and Holy Sage Flying Light.

These three Holy Sages could be said to be the rulers of the entire Ghost Rally Star. They had overlooked this planet for tens of thousands of years. In the eyes of all the ghost cultivators, they were absolutely supreme and could not be challenged. They were unassailable legends, insurmountable peaks, unconquerable oceans, and gods who could dominate everything from the sky.

Usually, none of the three Holy Sages would show their faces in public.

But today, two of them came out at once.

The white bone seemed to be the leg bone of a strange beast. It was big and smooth, constantly changing its position and bombarding the man sage of the Bone Sacred Mountain.

The head of the Lost Land and the other ghost cultivators whooped with triumph.

Because the man sage had been continuously forced to step back. It was clear that he would not be able to resist the white bone for long.

Suddenly—

“Wind-Cloud Six Moves... Hack in the Face!”

Having left a streak of cracks that was hundreds of meters long in the void, the man sage suddenly paused and stopped retreating. A strange force burst out from his body, and the bun he was wearing burst open. His black hair fluttered in the wind like a waterfall. The broadsword-using method and the Broadsword Momentum he was employing changed. Filled with the sad yet stirring resolution of fighting to the death, he directly hacked at the seemingly empty air in front of him.

“Rumble!”

Energy fluctuations rippled in the void.

The white bone, which had just altered its position, happened to appear in the way of the hack.

“Crack!”

The white bones disintegrated into small pieces, which flew in all directions.

“Uh? What kind of broadsword-using method is this?”

The voice of Holy Sage White Bone Shadow rang out in the void. But it was impossible to locate the source of the voice. Yet, there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

The man sage remained silent.

He stood with his toes pointing outwards, motionless as a mountain or an abyss. The jade-colored stone broadsword in his hand was held horizontally before his chest, and the Broadsword Intent was rolling out. His black hair was dancing on his shoulders and at the back of his head, even though there was no wind. He had the unparalleled demeanor of a supreme guru. He was silent, but the broadsword in his hand was buzzing, which sounded clearer and clearer.

He had always been such a taciturn person.

“Very well, you’ve concealed your power very well.” The voice of Holy Sage White Bone Shadow rang again as he said, “I never expected that there would be two people like you in the Bone Sacred Mountain. If it weren’t for the great work of Ghost Seer who had foreseen the threat you could impose on us, the Three Divine Sects would let you continue to cultivate in secret. If so, I’m afraid that even the Three Divine Sects would not be able to do anything to you in a few years.”

The man sage finally opened his mouth and spoke, “Today, you already can’t do anything to the Bone Sacred Mountain.”

“Hahaha, boy, you’re too naive. It’s only been a few years since you came to the Ghost Rally Star. You simply got the top Cultivation Method of the Bone Sacred Mountain by a sheer fluke. Do you really believe that you, with your three or four years of cultivation, can really fight against us, who have cultivated for more than 10,000 years?” Holy Sage White Bone Shadow laughed out loud.

In the midst of his laughter, six white bones appeared in the void.

Every single one of them was not inferior to the white leg bone that had forced the man sage to crack the void and beat a retreat.

“Hand over the supreme Cultivation Method and I will spare you and your wife.” The phantom of a faint white skeleton appeared in the void, and his voice sounded like two pieces of decayed bones rubbing against each other, which seemed to carry a terrible strange force that made one’s soul tremble.

That was the real form of Holy Sage White Bone Shadow.

The man sage did not respond.

He just slowly withdrew the long broadsword he had held horizontally in front of his chest before inserted it into the scabbard with the cutting edge facing up. He then pressed his left hand on the blade on the left side of his body and held the hilt with his right hand.

The fighting spirit was burning wildly in the eyes of this silent man.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

Holy Sage White Bone Shadow, who knew that it was useless to say more, immediately made his next move with a stir of his mind. The six white bones soared across the air, each of which had the power to kill a Ghost Lord in an instant.

“Wind-Cloud Six Moves... Dao-Drawing Chopping!”

A bolt of lightning burst out from the hands of the man sage.

“Crack, crack!”

The three white bones were chopped into pieces right on the spot. The fragments danced in the wind like white bone-made butterflies.

“What?” Holy Sage White Bone Shadow cried out in shock.

At the same time—

“Wind-Cloud Six Moves... Lightning Chopping.”

Another bolt of lightning, faster and more desperate, darted out from the hands of the man sage.

“Crack, crack!”

The remaining three bones also followed the path of the previous three and were shattered into shreds and scattered in the wind.

“You’re even stronger than her?”

The structure of the bones on the fleshless face of Holy Sage White Bone Shadow altered. It looked like he was a little astonished.

He raised his fleshless hand and beckoned. Then, the splinters of bones that had sprinkled all over the sky turned into ghostly white streams of light, which shot back into his body and then transformed back into six ribs of his.

What had startled Holy Sage White Bone Shadow was that the young man who he had originally assumed to be weaker than the woman sage because he had acted at her beck and call turned out to be more powerful. And his broadsword-using method was even fiercer than hers.

The man sage didn’t say anything.

The broadsword in his hand was still buzzing and vibrating, as though it couldn’t wait to taste the enemy’s blood.

Countless ghost cultivators around the battlefield were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

The means of the woman sage had already shocked all the ghost cultivators before. However, the man sage’s cultivation turned out to be even more striking and beyond their imagination. He could stand up to Holy Sage White Bone Shadow, one of the three Holy Sages, as an equal... Was this the real trump card, or say, the real strength of the Bone Sacred Mountain?

No wonder he dared to be the enemy of the Three Divine Sects.

When they saw this, the three Ghost Lords—Niu Ben, Xue Yan, and the head of the Lost Land—felt that even their guts had been laden with regret, if they had guts.

Had they known that the Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain were powerful enough to rival Holy Sages, they would not have participated in such a high-level battle no matter what.

They definitely couldn’t afford to mess with the Two Sages.

If the Two Sages didn’t die today, or if one of them escaped, the three major ghost sects of the three Ghost Lords would soon meet their downfall. After all, the Holy Sages wouldn’t stay in the three major ghost sects to keep them safe every day. Once the Holy Sages left, who in the three major ghost sects could deal with the revenge of the Two Sages?

Now, they could only pray that the Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain would both die here today.

Otherwise, there would be endless troubles in the future.

Li Mu was also quite stunned.

“What is going on?”

Back on the Divine Land, the couple was just mediocre third-rate masters. That day, they died tragically in front of the Yue Mountain Faction. Li Mu wanted to save them but it was all too late. However, the couple had become incredibly powerful after being on the Ghost Rally Star for four or five years. How on earth had they managed that? It did not sound logical at all.

The Holy Sages were all at the peak of the General Realm or even the King Realm.

But the couple could compete with them in a one-on-one fight. How amazing was that!

Could it be that they had stumbled on some great opportunities on the Ghost Rally Star?

Holy Sage White Bone Shadow had said that the couple had obtained the supreme Cultivation Method of the Bone Sacred Mountain. Was that the reason why their strength had increased so sharply?

But that did not sound right either.

Because Li Mu had noticed that what the woman sage had cast was the Heaven Sword Thirty-six Styles, and the method the man sage had used was the Wind-Cloud Six Moves, which were just two ordinary Cultivation Methods that he taught them when they were alive. But why did the methods seem to carry some kind of new power when they cast them this time? Even Li Mu himself had not comprehended this new power yet.

Li Mu’s curiosity grew stronger and stronger.

By this time, the battle between the two Holy Sages and the Two Sages had once again become white-hot.

Li Mu also picked up some more interesting discoveries.

He was now sure that the real cultivation of Holy Sage Black Sun and Holy Sage White Bone Shadow was actually superior to that of the Two Sages. After all, they had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and their foundation and power were rock-solid. However, the jade-colored stone sword and stone broadsword in the couple’s hands were engraved with Taoist magic inscriptions. When the Taoist figures swirled, the weapons placed a special restraint on the two Holy Sages, which threw them off balance.

It was as if two teenagers had come across two sharp weapons, and when they wielded them, the unarmed hunks did not dare to get close to them.

“This is weird. Back then, I didn’t teach them any Taoist magic arts.”

Li Mu had already recognized that Taoist magic inscriptions on the stone sword and broadsword were none other than the Ghost-suppressing Talisman he had learned from the old faker.

Li Mu knew that the Ghost-suppressing Talisman had a special restrictive effect on ghost cultivators.

But where did they get the stone sword and broadsword?

The four great masters had been engaged in a fierce battle in the sky. For a moment, it was difficult to tell which side was the victor.

“Can’t believe the strength of the Two Sages is actually this strong!” The Ghost General elder, Zhen Ye, was also trembling with excitement.

Just like him, many disciples of the Bone Sacred Mountain were also quivering with excitement.

They had seen a glint of hope.

Yet, Li Mu was not so optimistic.

He frowned instead.

If this was all the trump card the Two Sage had, then the party that would be defeated in the end would definitely be the Bone Sacred Mountain.

It was because all the Bone Sacred Mountain got was the Two Sages.

The Three Divine Sects, on the other hand, had three Holy Sages.

Once that Holy Sage Flying Light, who had not yet turned up, came and made a move, this delicate balance would soon be broken, and the Two Sages would be vanquished in an instant.

Before this war broke out, the Two Sages definitely had no idea that the Young Master they thought about every day had also come to the Ghost Rally Stars. Therefore, they must have another trump card up their sleeve. So where was this trump card hidden and in what form would it be presented?

Just as Li Mu was lost in thoughts, a wave of terrifying and exceedingly powerful force descended on the battlefield.

Holy Sage Flying Light, the third Holy Sage of the Three Divine Sects who had been hiding in the dark, finally made his move.
