Chapter 446: Li Mu Arrives

Chapter 445 Li Mu Arrives

In the orchard.

Saint of Blood Sea was like a dumb person taking a dose of bitter medicine— he had to suffer the bitterness in silence. Judging by the current circumstance, he could by no means prove his innocence.

Bloody-moon Evil Master was also dumbstruck.

“What the hell is this?”

“When my master came here, the gates of the Five Villages Temple were already opened. Perhaps someone had gotten here before us.” Bloody-moon Evil Master protested in a loud voice.

“Who do you think you are? Is there any chance for you to speak?” The figure shrouded in the demonic aura waved his sleeves right off, and a horribly destructive force struck towards the Bloody-moon Evil Master.

Bloody-moon Evil Master felt that his body was about to be fractured as if it was made of porcelain. The strength of the other party was inconceivably terror-inspiring, which he surely could not resist at all.

From the palm of Saint of Blood Sea flew out a ball of flame. It swept across the place, and that dreadful force was directly wiped out. Then, he said coldly, “When you pick on a dog pet, you got to watch out who the owner is. Celestial Demon Emperor, you are getting out of bounds.”

Celestial Demon Emperor sneered, “I certainly have the capability to go out of bounds. But you, who merely recovered part of your cultivation a few days after the landing, already dared to keep the magic fruits all to yourself. I think you are biting off more than you can chew. Today is your doom!”

The others’ eyes that had been fixed on Saint of Blood Sea suddenly began to flash maliciously as well.

“You can, have one. Hand over, the rest.” The boy in black carrying a sword on his back demanded.

His tone was quite bizarre, and he took a pause with every two words. It felt as if he would suffer a loss if he said one more word. The boy was cold as a statue carved out of ancient ice. An aura that would drive strangers away started permeating the orchard.

“Right. Given that you arrived first, you can have one of the four magic fruits, but you absolutely can’t take all of them.” Yue Guoxiang, who was holding the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, spoke in a tough tone. “You are a smart guy. You should know better than to upset everyone here.”

The pair of sisters also stared at Saint of Blood Sea.

They were all “old friends” with him from the galaxy.

“Hey, don’t let your greed grow unchecked.” The kid of the witch tribe, who was now riding on the shoulders of that coquettish girl like a normal child, gave a cold laugh and said, “Four magic fruits! How great the luck they carry? If you want to take all of them, ask if you have enough luck first. Even your Blood Sea Sect doesn’t have such confidence. So, do not seek your doom.”

Deep down, Saint of Blood Sea was yelling the most abusive words.

He took a deep breath, and then began, “You guys, I swear in the name of our blood race, if I have swallowed one magic fruit, let alone four, my blood reservoir will dry up, and I will get killed by a million thunderbolts. What do you say?”

With that, the expression of all the forces in the orchard altered.

Swearing in the name of the ancestor was the most serious vow the Immortal Clans in the universe could make. If it was violated, the man who made the vow would wind up miserably. A vow could resonate with the laws of the universe, and it could be said to have a strong binding force.

Saint of Blood Sea really hadn’t taken all the magic fruits?

“Logically, considering the opening time of the Five Villages Temple, you are indeed the first person to enter the orchard, but…” Bu Feiyan, the elder sister said with a frown. Then, she suddenly realized something and yelled, “Crap! Everyone, search the Five Villages Temple right now. If it’s not Saint of Blood Sea that took away the magic fruits, then, the one who did steal the fruits should not be far away from this orchard by now, and maybe he is still hiding somewhere in this place.”

Having said that, she decisively exited the orchard and pelted towards the gate of the Five Villages Temple.

Everyone’s complexion changed with shock.

That was possible!

In that case, it was not wise to dawdle in the orchard, allowing the man who had stolen the fruits to flee.

“Keep an eye on him.” Celestial Demon Emperor pointed at Saint of Blood Sea and ordered. “Since you claim that it’s not you who took the magic fruits and you have a clear conscience, then, don’t move. Wait here. Don’t go beyond our sight until we find the true fruit thief.”

A dozen black-armored demonic guards turned into shapeless shadows. In a few flashes, they besieged Saint of Blood Sea.

Saint of Blood Sea was furious, but he did not move.

Because he was also well aware that it was not a good time to incur public wrath, nor to throw a temper. Moreover, he was also dying to know who on earth stole the magic fruits before he arrived, for he was fervent about obtaining the magic fruits, too.

The magic fruits were more important than anything.

At the gate of Five Villages Temple, Qing Feng and the others were fleeing desperately.

Under the effect of the Grand Demon-suppressing Formation, within tens of thousands of miles of the Five Villages Temple, no one could fly in the sky. Therefore, they could only run at a moderate speed.

Suddenly, a jet of sword light fell from the sky, cut into the earth in front of Ming Yue and the others, creating a huge crack tens of feet deep and more than ten meters wide in the land which directly cut off their path.

“Stay.”

The stern-looking young man in black with a sword on his back was moving extremely fast. He outstripped Ming Yue and the other three, releasing an overwhelming aura to stop them fleeing.

Ming Yue and the others turned around and fled without hesitation in the other direction.

“This is a dead end.” A colossal white jade palm print plummeted ahead of them, producing a palm-shaped bottomless pit, breaking off the route on that side.

It was the work of the pair of sisters.

Qing Feng and the other three wasted no time speeding towards the northwest.

“Stay here.” Streaks of demonic aura were swirling in midair, which formed a black wall that blocked up the way. Terrible corrosive demonic aura whirled, sealing off everything in the vicinity.

Qing Feng and his companies changed direction again.

“Haha, there really is a bunch of thieves. Tianyi Palace’s Yue Guoxiang is here. Now, get back!” A ray of sword light flickered. The sky was outshone by the swirling sword light as Yue Guoxiang appeared, blocking up another way.

In the end, Qing Feng’s party was cornered in the middle.

There was no escape.

“Huh? They have the aboriginal aura of this planet. No, this monkey isn’t aboriginal. Hey, this is funny. This girl…” The little kid riding on the shoulders of the coquettish girl had a bemused gleam in his eyes. He seemed very surprised to see the four.

Through the sorcery pupils of the witch tribe, he registered that Yuan Hou was actually a monkey, not a creature of that world, and he was emitting a wisp of immortal aura. Wang Shiyu, however, did not belong to that world at all. As for Qing Feng and Ming Yue, their auras were quite weird, too. Though they appeared to be the native people of that planet, on a closer look, they also carried some alien traits.

That made the little kid of the witch tribe a bit flustered.

“Who are you? How did you get in?” Celestial Demon Emperor enveloped in the black demonic aura glared at the four, his eyes scorching like flames. “Why did you enter the Five Villages Temple before the scheduled time?”

That was a problem he and the others could not figure out.

The Five Villages Temple had been under the dual suppression of divine power and demonic power. The two powers had restrained each other for 1,000 years. As a result, the gate would open only at a specific time.

Although they had hurried there one after another, they did rush there as soon as possible. However, someone was one step ahead of all of them. That meant the four aborigines had entered the manor before the specific time deduced by those giants from the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy.

But that was not logically achievable.

Qing Feng and his companies did not speak.

Even the adorkable Ming Yue knew that they were in huge trouble now.

“No matter where they come from, no matter who they are, the magic fruits must have been stolen by these four thieves. There is no point asking those questions.” Yue Guoxiang stared malevolently at the four and bellowed, “Where are the magic fruits? Hand them over!”

“Right. Turn in the magic fruits!” The old woman with the black cane said darkly.

Ming Yue spat, “A good dog doesn’t get in the way. Back off!”

From a distance, Saint of Blood Sea and Bloody-moon Evil Master made their way toward them.

Bloody-moon Evil Master recognized Ming Yue and Wang Shiyu the moment he laid eyes on them. That day, the civil strife of Beggar Gang he plotted was eventually sabotaged by Li Mu, and he beat a retreat in shock. Yet, before taking off, he saw Ming Yue become the Grand Master of the Beggar Gang from a long distance.

Nevertheless, he did not say anything at the sight of them, pretending that he was meeting them the first time.

“Take them down for interrogation.” Yue Guoxiang launched an attack straight away. Several rays of sword light darted at the limbs of Qing Feng and the other three, attempting to chop off their legs in case they ran away.

Bu Feiyan raised her hand and sent a palm print out, which shattered the rays of sword light.

“You… What do you mean by that?” Yue Guoxiang glared at her.

“Emmm…” The younger sister whose lips had been sealed directly unsheathed the broadsword that was taller than herself, and brandished at Yue Guoxiang, as if warning him to speak nicely, or she would cut his throat. At that moment, the little girl looked just like an aggressive hen.

Bu Feiyan did not speak. Instead, she just smiled at four, surveyed them, and eventually rested her eyes on Ming Yue. Giving her a bright smile, she said kindly, “Little sister, tell your elder sister, was it you lot that took the magic fruits?”

Ming Yue gazed at her and snapped, “You address yourself as my elder sister? Are you worth it?”

“Woo…” The younger sister hacked the long broadswords directly at Ming Yue.

But Bu Feiyan threw her younger sister a punch on the back, which forced her to fall onto the ground. Then, Bu Feiyan turned around, continued to speak to Ming Yue genially, “The four magic fruits are very important to us. As long as you hand them over, I guarantee you that we will let you leave without giving you a hard time.”

Ming Yue’s eyes glinted. “Really?”

Bu Feiyan answered, “That’s for sure.”

Ming Yue said, “Fine. Let the three of them go. I will stay. When they’re far away from harm’s way, I’ll tell you where the fruits are. What do you say?”

Bu Feiyan frowned.

She chose to fish information from Ming Yue because she was under the impression that the girl was somehow like her dumb sister, especially in temperament. They were both low-witted, adorkable types. So, she reckoned it was easier to coax Ming Yue. But the term Ming Yue gave…

“No need to ask her. They’ve eaten the magic fruits.” Saint of Blood Sea marched over and said with a long face. “Everyone, observe carefully. Those people are emitting the fragrance of the magic fruit tree.”

The others all felt their heart sink to their stomach. When they got around to examining closely, they all detected the fragrance.

Among the four indigenous peoples, the monkeys and the two kids had a particularly strong immortal aura, as though they were human-shaped precious herbs. Previously, they were all too engrossed in catching the fruit thieves to think of it that way. But considering the current situation…

“Da*n it!”

“The fruits were eaten by those aboriginals!”

“No…”

The parties instantly flared up, Overwhelmed by indignation and despair, they could not accept the result.

The kid from the witch tribe surprisingly gave a smile and remarked, “None of this matters. Those people are just ordinary mortals and can’t digest the power of the magic fruit. All the magic power is still stored inside them. Now, their bodies are just the same as the magic fruits. If we eat their flesh and drink their blood, the effect will be exactly the same as we take the magic fruits.”

When the kid spoke, he already looked at Qing Feng and the other three with hot desire and greed. He licked his lips as if he had seen some delicious dishes.

His remark immediately reminded the others on the scene.

In a moment, from the looks of most of those giants, it was unmistakable that they no longer saw Ming Yue and her lot as four living human beings. Instead, they stared at them like predators looking at the prey in their trap.

“Great. We no longer have to fight.” Yue Guoxiang smiled sinisterly and suggested, “It’s like killing a pig. Each can take a few pounds of meat. That can be done easily. Haha.”

He was indeed cruel by nature.

Celestial Demon Emperor snorted, “I will take a complete one.”

“Not good, to eat, human flesh.” The frosty young man in black knitted his brows and said, “My people, only take, alive ones.” The old woman with a black cane had no second opinion. She listened to the young man in black the whole time. Plainly, she was his subordinate.

“Then, we’ll have to battle it out.” Saint of Blood Sea licked his lips, “In fact, if you don’t mind, I only need their blood.”

Bu Feiyan scowled at him.

That was not what she wished to see. At the same time, her younger sister dizzily got up from the ground, grunting something. Bu Feiyan immediately undid Shutup Curse cast upon her younger sister.

“Do you have any humanity at all? You even intend to eat people? Now that the magic fruits were eaten by them, it simply shows that the fruits were meant for them.” The younger sister a little premature for her age was finally able to speak. Gripping the long broadswords, she addressed the others rather solemnly.

Bu Feiyan smiled and did not speak.

The old woman with the black cane jeered sinisterly and hissed, “If you don’t feel like eating people, then get out of the Five Villages Temple. None of us will stop you.”

“Old crazy lady, you are looking for death! Believe it or not, I’ll hack you to death!” The younger sister growled, hopping-mad.

Right at that moment, Yue Guoxiang suddenly moved, immediately launched a strike. He raised a finger, and a jet of Sword Qi broke out, stabbing directly towards Ming Yue. He was aiming to kill her for her flesh!

“Watch out!” Yuan Hou warned, leaping forward to shield Ming Yue.

A golden cudgel emerged in the monkey’s hand and charged forward, colliding straight with that jet of Sword Qi. The slipstream visible to the naked eye rippled far away, while the monkey flew out backward, blood gushing from his mouth.

Although he had been practicing the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method and Taoist magic arts, his practice did not begin until very recently. Therefore, how could he fight with Yue Guoxiang who had recovered his full strength?

“You’re courting death.” Ming Yue flew into a rage. She conjured up white lotus against a blue sky, and the aura of the Great Way circulated the place. The leaves of the white lotus swayed vigorously, driving the aura to crush Yue Guoxiang like a millstone.

“Huh? Star image of the Great Way?” Celestial Demon Emperor was surprised. But then, he sneered, “Pity that your cultivation is too low… Celestial Demon Hand, break it for me!” He shoved a hand forward. The demonic aura quaked. Then, an enormous hand materialized from the aura and slammed right at the image of the white lotus against a blue sky, shattering it into pieces.

Ming Yue swayed. Her face was pale, and trickles of blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

The gap between their realms was too large.

At the same time, Saint of Blood Sea, as well as the kid from the witch tribe, also struck. They launched a blow at Qing Feng and Yuan Hou respectively, as if fighting for prey.

“Come near to me.” Qing Feng grabbed Wang Shiyu over and pressed a button on the wheelchair. In an instant, countless jade-colored light spots shot out. Bang! They exploded in the air, releasing a terrifying force that swept at the enemies.

That was the enhanced version of the Gold-purple Jade Rolling Thunder developed by Li Mu.

But that trick might be a little threat to the Sages. But for the practitioners from the universe, it only played the role of a smoke bomb. As soon as Celestial Demon Emperor waved his hand, a tide of fierce qi broke out and blew away all the thunderclaps.

Then, he reached out and grabbed at Qing Feng.

Qing Feng looked pale, but he swiftly pressed a button on the wheelchair once more. A streak of light bright like the moon suddenly burst out from the arm of the wheelchair, piercing between Celestial Demon Emperor’s brows.

Celestial Demon Emperor gave a cold sneer, withdrew his hand, and slammed at his forehead. The jet of bright light was caught in his hands. It turned out to be a Taoist-instrument-level broadsword, which quickly crumbled in Celestial Demon Emperor’s hand.

Qing Feng yanked Wang Shiyu by the arm while driving the wheelchair fervently backward.

“Aargh…” Yuan Hou spat a mouthful of blood. He had been attacked from behind by the old woman with the black cane. That cane had broken many bones of his. Had it not been for the impressive Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method, he would have been smashed into pieces.

Ming Yue also let loose a howl because Yue Guoxiang almost cut off her left shoulder with his sword. The image of the white lotus against a blue sky was also slashed in half by the sword. The gap between the strength of the two sides was indeed too great.

“Forget about me. Run by yourselves!” Wang Shiyu shouted.

She had lost track of the situation, for her ordinary visual sense and reaction speed was not able to keep up with the people around them. All she saw were blurred figures. Naturally, she felt she was already a burden on her companies, so she shouted on instinct.

“No one can run away.” Saint of Blood Sea gave a cruel laugh.

“Come here.” Celestial Demon Emperor stretched out his big hand and conjured the Celestial Demon Hand again. As the Taoist figures swirled, the surrounding space was sealed. He then grabbed directly at Wang Shiyu, attempting to seize her and Qing Feng at a time.

But Qing Feng exercised some secret art of the spiritual force. A layer of invisible air barrier erected in front of them. Like swamps, the barrier blocked the hand of Celestial Demon Emperor.

But that was only a momentary thing.

“Hope to stop me with this lame trick?” Celestial Demon Emperor abruptly released his full strength, and that layer of air barrier produced by the spiritual force collapsed instantly.

A jet of blood shot out of Qing Feng’s mouth. His face instantly turned sallow like a thin sheet of gold.

The Celestial Demon Hand made to clamp Wang Shiyu’s neck almost instantly.

“Go to hell!”

Celestial Demon Emperor did not mind killing. After all, the blood and corpses were all he needed.

But just at that moment, suddenly, an unexpected change appeared.

A figure moving as fast as lightning landed onto the battlefield like a ghost, and threw a punch right at Celestial Demon Emperor’s Celestial Demon Hand.

Boom!

“Who is it?” Celestial Demon Emperor asked in terror.

He only felt that an indescribably appalling force rolled at him. Then, his right arm that cast the prior punch snapped with a crack. Countless bones were broken. As a taste of sweetness surged up his throat, he opened his mouth and spilled a shot of demonic blood before being sent flying backward.

In contrast, that mysterious figure looked at great ease. He took a few steps backward to offset the counterforce. A moment later, a long broadsword appeared in his hand out of thin air. He hacked it backhandedly, fending off the sword light sent by Tianyi Palace’s Yue Guoxiang. As the two figures dashed in a blur, the broadsword styles they employed changed again. Blood squirted. And in Yue Guoxiang’s agonized cry, the arm holding his sword was chopped off and fell to the ground…

“Who are you?” Yue Guoxiang shouted, too astonished to register what had happened.

But that figure did not take a rest. Instead, with the speed of lightning, he hacked backhandedly. The silky broadsword light split the void and charged at the old woman with the black cane.

The latter raised her cane to block the blow. Yet, the broadsword light immediately began to split into two, two into four, four into eight, and finally, eight into sixteen. By the time the blow fell on her, rays of broadsword light descended like heavy snow…

“Aargh…” She screamed in pain. Both her arms and one leg were cut off in a trice.

At that point, a jet of black sword light abruptly rose to the air and hindered the rest of the broadsword light.

Clink! Clank! Clink!

In the dense spattering of sparkles, the eyes of the aloof boy in black carrying a sword on the back shone like the brightest star in a dark night. He rejoiced at finally encountering his equal.

However, as the broadsword light flashed again, that figure rapidly backed away from the target, who appeared to have no intention to continue the fight. After that, the numerous rays of broadsword stormed at Saint of Blood Sea.

Saint of Blood Sea’s furious and terror-struck face was brightly illuminated by the broadswords light. He was already one inch away from catching Ming Yue, the was forced to step back, father and father…

All the renowned experts were forced into a retreat in just a few seconds.

“Who on earth is that guy?”

“How scary his power is!”

The extraterrestrial experts eventually braced themselves and looked intently at that mysterious man.

“You are a bunch of junk! Only dare to bully small kids, an animal, and a woman who doesn’t know any martial arts at all? What kind of heroes are you?” Standing in the center of the crowd, a short-haired in white propped up his broadsword and sneered.

He had descended on the battlefield as miraculously as a deity, and within a few strikes resolved all the dangers. He rescued Qing Feng, Ming Yue, Yuan Hou, and Wang Shiyu from the crisis and now shielded them behind him.

“Young Master!”

“Master!”

“Brother Mu!”

Qing Feng, Ming Yue, Yuan Hou, and Wang Shiyu almost simultaneously exclaimed in surprise.

Li Mu flickered them a “don’t worry” look.

“Li Mu!” Yue Guoxiang picked up the broken arm and put it back on, his face icy cold and resentful.

He recognized that the unexpected newcomer was Li Mu, his deadly foe.

“Li Mu, today many heroes have gathered here. Do you still want to play tough?” Saint of Blood Sea bellowed, and at the same time, quietly backed away, vigilantly drawing a safe distance between him and Li Mu.

Surrounded by black magic, Celestial Demon Emperor did not reveal his face to the others, but his voice was extremely insidious. After giving a ruthless snorted, he remarked, “Turns out that you are Li Mu. I found you when I least expect you!”

The old woman with the black cane was still howling like a pig to be slaughtered. Three out of her four limbs were chopped off. The aloof boy in black tossed an elixir in her mouth, but his eyes were unblinkingly settled on Li Mu, revealing his eagerness to hunt his prey.

“You’re strong.” The boy in black said.

“It’s you, the flirty bandit?” The younger sister’s eyes lit with excitement as she yelled in surprise. “Never knew you are a chivalrous guy! You want to play the hero and rescue the beauty? But what do you mean by that? Did you quickly fall in love with another girl? Then, where that left my sister? Since you took so many treasures from my sister, wouldn’t you be responsible to her for it?”

At once, Bu Feiyan cast a Shutup Curse upon her younger sister.

“Um, ummmm…” The younger sister grunted through her nostrils, though her words were utterly incomprehensible.

Li Mu was speechless at that.

Anyway, that pair of sisters did not participate in the siege of Qing Feng and the other three. So, there might still be an ounce of humanity in them.

“Hey, this time, you have thrown yourself to the wolves.” The kid of the witch tribe jeered. He was still riding on the shoulders of the coquettish girl, and that posture seemed very absurd.

Li Mu gripped the handle of the Samsara Knife and held it up to his chest. Quite disparagingly, he said, “Want to defeat me? Just you weak-kneed jackasses? Go in for it altogether. You know, I’m in a hurry.”

“How arrogant!” Yue Guoxiang, who had put the broken arm back, held the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover in his palm and said, “Today, you’ll die in my powerful instrument…”

Before his voice faded—

Whoosh!

A flash of lightning skated across the sky without warning, which directly pierced Yue Guoxiang’s arm. With his earsplitting screams, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover was taken away by a man’s silhouette in the lightning. Just as that silhouette leaped away from Yue Guoxiang, it fished a fan out and fanned at him.

A gust of wind blew!

A ball of five-colored flame briskly wrapped itself around Yue Guoxiang. Before he could let out a wail, the practitioner who had passed the Life and Death Bridge was burnt to ashes just like a tissue paper licked by the flame.

The whole thing occurred in the blink of an eye. It happened just too fast. Adding that everyone’s attention was on Li Mu, they did not realize what was the situation until Yue Guoxiang died.
