The deafening roar temporarily deafened the soldier, making him feel like he was in the eye of a hurricane. The ground was shaking violently, and a rolling heat wave surged from above, causing a burning pain to spread through his spine.
The soldier climbed up from the ground in a daze. The intense ringing in his ears made him lose his balance, and he stumbled to steady himself, wondering why he was still alive.
Then he saw the carnage behind him. Although the tripwire was set here, the detonation point was behind them, blowing the members of the Soul Sect into a state of disarray.
The armed cultists were severely wounded in the explosion, and the surviving cultists were all covered in extensive burns, either screaming in pain while holding their severed limbs or looking bewildered and unsure of what to do.
The hovercraft they were riding in was torn apart as if by a giant, becoming debris on the ground.
The choking sounds of the Bloodthirsty Beasts echoed around them.
Several Bloodthirsty Beasts crawled on the ground with broken legs, limping and hobbling.
Their tough fur was charred, revealing pink muscles covered in scorch marks.
More Bloodthirsty Beasts, scattered by the explosion, were stimulated by the blood in the air, greedily looking at everyone present.
Some of the thirsty beasts were so hungry that they couldn’t wait to tear apart the corpses on the ground.
They were cold-blooded and merciless, even devouring the bodies of their own kind.
Because there were too many bodies, these Bloodthirsty Beasts even emptied the soft organs of some corpses and then abandoned them, pouncing on the next one.
The Ghost Owl Cultists were stunned. Their reactions were quick, and they immediately burned a shelter with their pale soul fire and hid inside.
Apart from being scorched by high temperature, he did not suffer any serious injuries.
In the distance, Li Mu climbed onto Dao Lei, swaying slightly as he felt the restless air currents.
“You caused the big explosion in Avonigarda.”
After tucking a strand of hair that was blown by the wind, Shen Luoyan spoke.
“So, Inspector, are you going to arrest me?”
Li Mu held the spear in his arm and said. The cursed blood iron spear was too short to use on horseback, so he could only use this horse spear for now.
Shen Luoyan blew him a flirtatious kiss in response.
He tightened the reins, and Dao Lei stood up, its mane flying as it galloped towards the scene of the explosion.
Still dazed from the explosion, Susanto was immediately reminded of his previous painful memories by the sound of galloping hooves.
He took a glance at the heavily damaged Soul Cult and gritted his teeth, abandoning his own subordinates and running away. But he didn’t expect that his soldiers’ reaction was not slower than his, and they scattered in all directions.
Several Bloodthirsty Beasts ran greedily towards the galloping Dao Lei.
The one in front was directly hit head-on, and all of its bones shattered, screaming as it flew out. The other Bloodthirsty Beasts suffered even worse, its brain splattered from a single stomp.
Li Mu didn’t even bother with these Bloodthirsty Beasts, just urging the thief li to constantly accelerate.
Dao Lei’s speed had reached its limit, as if flying close to the ground.
“Come on! Come on, you bastard!”
The Ghost Owl Cultist yelled hysterically, the pale and cold soul fire burning fiercely in his palm.
He had nothing now, and even if he survived by chance, the Soul Cult wouldn’t let him go. Even if he killed this damn invader, he still couldn’t atone for his sins.
His face was ferocious as he directly threw the cold and pale soul fire towards Li Mu.
Li Mu raised his spear and picked it, picking it on the incoming soul fire.
The soul fire exploded like fireworks, and the soul fire sticking to the spear tip was like a maggot attached to a bone, staining the spear shaft into a line of fire, burning towards Li Mu’s hands.
Having seen the coiled pale soul fire, he naturally knew the terrible aspect of the soul fire. This kind of flame made of psychic energy had a temperature of over a thousand degrees and could directly burn the soul of the human body.
Li Mu directly threw the horse spear in his hand towards the Ghost Owl Cultist.
With the momentum, the horse spear made a piercing whistle in the air, making a terrifying noise.
The Ghost Owl Cultist faced the horse spear without flinching. The soul fire on the horse spear suddenly exploded, turning into a large group of flames and instantly burning the horse spear to ashes, even the metal spear tip was burned into molten iron.
He casually made a move and the burning soul fire in the air returned to him, rotating around his body like a satellite.
The Ghost Owl Cultist had intended to use this move to ambush Li Mu, but he didn’t expect Li Mu to be so decisive in abandoning his spear, leaving him no time to detonate the soul fire.
Veins bulged on his forehead as he pushed his psychic energy to the limit.
The soul fire around him flew like a meteor, continuing to shoot towards Li Mu.
Li Mu stared straight at the incoming soul fire, and at the critical moment, he directly pulled the reins.
Dao Lei’s four hooves stepped, jumping over the soul fire like stepping on the wind.
Manipulating soul fire is not easy, and it can actually create a considerable burden on the soul. Moreover, the farther away, the more difficult it is to manipulate.
The Ghost Owl Cultist simply couldn’t control the soul fire and turn it towards Li Mu’s back.
In just that instant, the sturdy mutated horse was already charging towards him.
Li Mu swung his sword, and the battle blade turned into an electric light, sweeping past the Ghost Owl Cultist’s neck.
Most of the Ghost Owl Cultist’s strength was in those blood beasts and blood owls. When he fought, he usually entangled his enemies with agile blood owls, and then finished them off with powerful pale soul fire.
An ordinary fourth-level awakened person simply could not compete with him.
But being so reliant on the blood owls after they were killed by Fei Lian, he was left with only pale soul fire, and he wanted to fight against Li Mu, who was riding the Dao Lei. This could only be described as seeking death.
The strength of an enhancement-type awakened person with a mount and without a mount was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Larimore, who was a dozen meters away, looked at the headless body of the Ghost Owl Cultist, opened his mouth, and couldn’t say anything, as if he had lost his ability to speak.
After killing the Ghost Owl Cultist, Li Mu didn’t slow down at all. He took out his iron spear from the Exile Realm and swung it wildly at the surviving cultists and disciples.
No one could stop him with a single spear, and some were even thrown up four or five meters high.
The surviving disciples crazily shot at Li Mu, but their rough marksmanship could not hit the galloping Dao Li.
Occasionally, a stray bullet grazed him, but it only caused a flesh wound.
Li Mu easily broke through the battlefield.
In fact, after the Ghost Owl Cultist died, the morale of the Soul Cult on the battlefield had already plummeted to its lowest point. If there weren’t any surviving cultists commanding them, they would have directly dispersed.
Li Mu pulled on the reins of Dao Lei, feeling somewhat disappointed. He had originally thought that the morale and tenacity of the believers of the Soul Lord would be stronger, but they were much weaker than Susanto’s ragtag army.
