“Woof? What’s this?”
The silly dog held the golden stick in its claws and weighed it. It said, “It’s so heavy. There writes a line of words ‘The Demon-vanquis.h.i.+ng Stick weighs 1.8 million kilograms’.”
It held the stick and casually waved it a few times. The air was directly blown up, forming an air vortex as formidable as a tornado, with deafening sounds like dragon and tiger roars.
“Woof? It is so awesome.”
The stupid dog was also shocked.
Then it excitedly announced, “From now on, this Golden Stick will belong to me. Woof, haha!”
Li Mu said, “Let me have a look.”
The silly dog refused directly. “Don’t try to trick me into giving you the stick.”
Li Mu was speechless.
He had no time to talk nonsense with this stupid dog. Then, he turned around and fought with the North Buddha statue again.
He was inspired by the silly dog in defeating the Southern Buddha statue.
So he gave up protecting the cultural relics and made a heavy blow to shatter the statue without hesitation.
A strand of golden light flickered out from the broken statue. The light shone like a dragon.
Something was really hidden in its body.
Li Mu reached out his hand and grabbed the golden treasure.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
It seemed like he was holding a golden dragon that was struggling with all its might.
Li Mu looked at it carefully and found that it was a long knife-shaped weapon with four edges, which was very special.
It was neither a knife nor a stick. The extremely heavy weapon was 1.6 meters long in total with a handle accounting for 40 centimeters. Holding it in hand with physical strength, he was about to be pulled askew by this strange weapon.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The bizarre weapon vibrated violently like a vibrator with an electric motor. It kept vibrating. Li Mu felt a resistant force coming from the handle. The weapon was trying to break free from his hands.
Li Mu cast the power of Shattering a Thousand Stars to forcibly suppress the strange weapon.
The entire process took only two or three seconds.
Overwhelmed by Li Mu’s horrible power, the weapon gradually calmed down. Finally, it was tamed and quietly held in Li Mu’s hand.
The moment it calmed down, Li Mu felt that this strange weapon was as light as gra.s.s.
The strange change caught Li Mu completely off his guard. His body, which had tilted slightly in order to support the huge weight, instantly tilted to the opposite direction. He was almost stumbled by the sudden change.
Like the Southern Buddha statue, the Northern statue instantly dissipated into a ma.s.s of dust after losing its golden weapon.
The ancient troops on the battlefield, as well as Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats who were staring at the battlefield all disappeared at the same time.
However, the bodies of those ancient soldiers and generals who had been defeated by Tang Tian, Zhao Feilong, and others were left in reality from disappearing.
“It seems that these weapons and armors can be recycled?”
Tang Tian was very quick-witted. He took off the armor of a dead general and found that it was of good quality which could be counted as one of the spoils.
Other warriors of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance followed Tang Tian to collect the spoils while cleaning up the battlefield.
“Woof, wait. Leave this set of golden armor to me.”
Husky came over and saw a pair of golden armor with the background color of extremely majestic red. The dog took the armor off and put it on as its reward, which had satisfied itself.
It had been completely accustomed to walking on its hind legs. Wearing the golden armor, it looked… well, decent.
It was roughly calculated that Hero Martial Arts Alliance had captured more than 2,500 sets of intact armor, 4,000 weapons, including axes, hooks, swords, s.h.i.+elds, meteor hammers, and so on, which looked quite abundant.
Li Mu observed armors carefully and found that they were filled with spirit. Natural textures on armors were similar to Taoist patterns and tactical deployments. Their damage tolerance and mitigation would be enhanced enormously as soon as textures were activated. Other weapons were somewhat similar to spiritual weapons and Taoist instruments, which were quite powerful.
It was weird that those generals and soldiers didn’t know the power of armors or weapons when they charged forward.
For this reason, the Hero Martial Arts Alliance won a smas.h.i.+ng victory.
Soon, Husky had refined the golden radiant armor. It could not only be absorbed into its body but change according to the dog’s figure, which was very suitable.
The silly dog had a good eye for selecting treasure. The armor picked by it was a marshal-level one, which was the best among the others. Li Mu could tell that it was at an extremely high level by glancing at it with his Third Eye.
Its demon-subduing golden stick was also a treasure, which could expand or shrink with its owner’s will. It was used as a crutch when Husky walked on its hind legs. The radiant stick and armor made Husky a fancy dog from a rich area. It had a nouveau richer manner.
“Woof! Li Mu, let me have a look at your stick.” The dog stared unblinkingly at the four-blade weapon in Li Mu’s hand, drooling.
“Get away.”
“Woof woof!”
Li Mu knew the dog a lot. How could he give it the precious weapon? It was absolutely equal to trying to hit a dog with a meat bun, which would never be returned.
The southern Buddha statue was 10 meters shorter than the northern one. Now that the demon-subduing stick had shown astonis.h.i.+ng power, the treasure of the bigger northern Buddha statue must be even more powerful. No wonder the dumb dog was longing for it.
By then, Li Mu had a better understanding of the four-edged weapon, which was called the Tetragonal Deities-Killing Broadsword.
Its characteristic lied in that, if refined properly, it would be as light as gra.s.s to its owner while as heavy as universal stars to opponents. It was also a treasure but required essence energy to support its power. It could be absorbed into the Dantian acupoint of the body after being refined.
Such a weapon was indeed a perfect match for Li Mu’s strong physical strength. Li Mu could also give his broadsword-using methods full play, which was quite convenient for him.
But the material and the other effects were unknown.
Li Mu vaguely felt that he hadn’t completely refined it. A mysterious strength kept resisting him for the time being.
This strange blade was worth looking forward to.
Li Mu thought that the Samsara Knife was his routine weapon with the Tetragonal Deities-Killing Broadsword being a trump card, which needed to be nurtured slowly.
“Li Mu, how should we deal with these weapons and armors?” Song Youyan, the deputy minister of the Dunhuang Branch, came to ask for instructions.
There were more than two thousand sets of armor and four thousand sets of weapons, all of which were rare treasures.
These treasures would probably lead to b.l.o.o.d.y compet.i.tion all over the world. People of major countries, forces, and organizations would be extremely envious.
Without hesitation, Li Mu said, “They are trophies that Martial Alliance members earned with their lives. There’s no doubt that they belong to us.”
People around him burst into cheers with his words.
The disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance were fond of his style very much.
The past few days had been too depressing. They could finally get something for themselves since their senior Li Mu had returned.
In the end, the fluctuations within Mogao Caves disappeared along with the dissipation of illusions in the sky. The abnormal scene had gone and everything went back to normal.
“Let’s go.” Li Mu waved his hand and decided to head for the Dunhuang branch first.
A group of people walked out of the scenic area of Mogao Caves in high spirits.
However, everyone found that the female officer in pergola at the scenic area gate also disappeared. Some garrisoning equipment couldn’t be seen at primary places as well.
It was extremely quiet outside.
No one appeared from anywhere.
Leaves were fluttering in the wind.
The birds also disappeared which had been pecking at grapes on the trellis outside the gate.
“What do you mean?”
In the military camp of Dunhuang, Su Cuo drew out a spiritual gun at her waist, pointed at an old Taoist priest who was blocking her way. Su Cuo shouted, “I’m going to Dunhuang scenic area right now. Get out of my way.”
A dozen members of the cultivators’ a.s.sociation stood behind the Taoist priest.
“Vice President w.a.n.g had said that neither the military nor the Martial Alliance can partic.i.p.ate in this matter,” the old Taoist priest said with a fake smile and refused to give in.
