Mythical Three Kingdoms: Martial Arts Reach Divine Ranks, I Alone Rule the World

Zhang Mu did not ask Hua Tuo if he knew any Taoists.

One reason is that he already had an old friend, a Taoist priest, as a backup option.

On the other hand...

He realized, through Hua Tuo's description of Taoists as "mystical and rambling," that this divine physician Hua Tuo didn't seem to have a very good impression of Taoism.

Could it be that the medical practitioners and Taoist sects in this world harbor grudges he is unaware of?

Or perhaps.

Is it merely that this Dr. Hua himself had conflicts with people in the Taoist sect?

This thought couldn't help but pop into Zhang Mu's mind.

but.

It was only a fleeting moment, and did not arouse Zhang Mu's desire to investigate it further.

In order to find a flawless method to break through to the next realm for his younger brother Zhang Liao...

Zhang Mu had already fought his way from Bingzhou to the depths of the grasslands, where he fought Tan Shihuai and encountered the Terracotta Army at Night and the Qin Emperor's Shadow.

After all that trouble...

He simply didn't have the extra energy to get involved in anything else.

Although he benefited greatly from this series of bizarre experiences.

He not only befriended the lineage of the spear god Tong Yuan, but also gained a lot of goodwill from Lu Bu, laying the foundation for subduing this fierce tiger when chaos descends in the future.

But in Zhang Mu's view...

The price he paid was far from light.

Isn't that also a loss of conscience?

……

As night deepened, half the night had passed without us realizing it.

As everyone sat and chatted under the pavilion, Lü Bu, who had only woken up near dusk, was the first to give in.

after all.

Compared to everyone else present.

Lu Bu was the one in the worst mental and physical condition.

He was able to hold on until midnight, which was already a result of his hard work.

"Xiongfu, you two continue chatting. I'll take Fengxian inside to check things out."

Hua Tuo was the first to get up and help Lü Bu back to his room.

With the two men gone, only Zhang Mu and Tong Yuan, along with their disciples, remained.

"Mr. Tong."

Zhang Mu slowly stood up and looked up at the sky.

"Mu, I plan to leave tonight."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"At the end of this year, the pastor will come here again to cooperate with Dr. Hua on the heart transplant."

Tong Yuan was greatly surprised when Zhang Mu said this.

"Gongzhi, what makes you say that?"

"Have my three disciples neglected you?"

Zhang Mu shook his head and chuckled, "Not so!"

"Fengxian's matter is settled, but Mushang has his own things to do."

Furthermore…

"Mu is the garrison commander of Yanmen County and has been living in your Phoenix Perch Mountain villa. Prefect Guo, who is in charge of Mu, probably thinks I am the gatekeeper of your place."

Seeing that Zhang Mu was determined to leave, Tong Yuan gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"It seems I can't convince you to stay."

"Since that's the case, then so be it."

"Young friend Gongzhi, please remember this: if you encounter someone you cannot defeat, you can always come to me for help."

"Don't worry, Mr. Tong, I'm not stubborn. If I can't win, I'll just run away," Zhang Mu replied with a smile.

Upon hearing Zhang Mu's words, Tong Yuan couldn't help but click his tongue.

When the terracotta warriors marched at night and faced the eerie black gate formed by the black mist, you didn't do it this way, kid.

Tong Yuan would never forget Zhang Mu's arrogant kick as he ruthlessly stomped towards the Black Gate, controlling his ninety-nine-foot-tall black-armored martial avatar.

Zhang Mu shifted his gaze from Tong Yuan to Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, and Zhao Yun.

"I'll say it again."

"When you have completed your studies and descended the mountain, the Yanmen County, which is guarded by the Musuo, will always be open to you."

"Especially you, Little Zhao Yun..."

"Stay on the mountain and hone your martial arts skills. Don't even think about going down the mountain to enter the world until you can easily suppress the Martial Phase Realm."

"otherwise."

Zhang Mu smiled.

"What if you encounter a tough, fast bandit in the future who hasn't even reached the edge of the Gathering Qi Realm..."

"You, who have already reached the Martial Phase Realm, fired three shots in a row, yet you couldn't kill him in your rage. Isn't that laughable?"

Having said all that...

Zhang Mu didn't give Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, and Zhao Yun a chance to try and persuade them to stay.

His robes moved without wind.

Without a trace of blood or energy surging from his body, he slowly rose off the ground.

"Clang!"

Zhang Mu summoned the black battle halberd that was suspended above the Tree of Life, which was formed from the source seed.

It landed at Zhang Mu's feet, allowing Zhang Mu to step on it.

at the same time.

Zhang Mu's hearty laughter echoed under the night sky.

"Hahaha!"

"Riding the wind with my halberd, I roam freely between heaven and earth."

"Gentlemen."

Until we meet again.

The black halberd carried Zhang Mu higher and higher, then transformed into a streak of light under the moonlight, flying towards the southeast where the giant deer was located.

Inside the side room.

Hua Tuo, who was diagnosing Lü Bu's physical condition, chuckled at Lü Bu and said, "Gongzhi is truly living a carefree life."

"Perhaps it is precisely because of this carefree attitude that he can lend you his heart without even frowning."

"Fengxian knows."

"If I hadn't called out to stop him in time..."

"Gongzhi was willing to lay bare his own heart for you."

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu remained silent.

Although he could not see Zhang Mu's departing figure, he kept his eyes fixed on the direction where Zhang Mu's voice disappeared.

Under the pavilion.

Only when Zhang Mu could no longer be seen did Zhang Ren turn his gaze to his master, Tong Yuan.

After a moment's hesitation, he suddenly spoke.

"Master!"

"Tomorrow at dawn, I intend to travel to Luodu to temper my body with the imperial dragon energy of the dynasty and seek to break through to the Martial Phase Realm."

Zhang Mu's arrival and the power he displayed...

It wasn't just the impetuous Zhang Xiu who was provoked, but also his calm and collected senior brother.

only.

He simply didn't show it like Zhang Xiu did.

Until just now.

Only then did he make up his mind completely.

Tong Yuan did not expect that his eldest disciple, Zhang Ren, whom he valued highly, would bring up the matter of breakthroughs right after Zhang Mu left.

He gazed at Zhang Ren with gentle eyes for a long time, then suddenly sighed.

"Public Assistant, it's not that I don't want you to break through, but a friend of mine has already foreseen this..."

"Within three years, the nation will surely undergo a dramatic upheaval."

"Within ten years, a great calamity will befall the Nine Provinces."

"If you don't reach the Martial Aspect Realm, stay here on this mountain and I can guarantee your safety. But if you do reach the Martial Aspect Realm..."

"Your destiny is not in your own hands."

"The world of Kyushu has never been as peaceful as you see it. There are some hidden beings that even your master is extremely wary of."

"Master, are you referring to the terracotta warriors marching at night?" asked Zhang Xiu, the second disciple.

"The terracotta warriors marching at night... I suppose that counts!"

Tong Yuan did not deny it.

"Huh? Only one type?"

"Master, do you mean there are other things besides it?"

For once, Zhang Xiu reacted quickly, showing he had learned to use his brain.

Tong Yuan had no intention of discussing this further with Zhang Xiu.

Insufficient strength.

He'll only harm his disciples if he talks too much.

Allowing them to listen in on the terracotta warriors' nighttime march was already an exception.

however.

To Tong Yuan's disappointment...

Even though he had already given such a warning...

He still couldn't see the slightest wavering on his eldest disciple Zhang Ren's face.

"Master!"

Zhang Ren left the pavilion.

He went to the weapon rack in the courtyard and picked up his own black iron spear.

"I remember when I first became your disciple, you said to me..."

"The lineage of the Gun God is never inferior to anyone throughout their lives."

"My actions show no belief in ghosts or gods, no fear of demons or monsters. If any evil spirits appear before me, I will shatter them with a single spear thrust."

"So what if the nation changes?"

"So what if it's mysterious and hidden?"

"Master!"

Zhang Renyi, unlike his usual self, now exuded a chilling aura, much like the spear in his hand.

"Ren is just steady in character, but he is not a cowardly man who is timid and hesitant."

"Having entered this mortal, corrupt world..."

"Even if I were to encounter a phoenix soaring through the nine heavens, I would still dare to wield this spear, bathe in its blood, and burn with a light that would amaze everyone."

Even if.

"That would cost me my life."

"It will cause my disciple to shed blood in a foreign land, and his lonely soul will never return to Phoenix Perch Mountain."
