Chapter 556: Li Mu's Arrival

Li Mu was greatly surprised.

This time, he was just comprehending the Sword Intent in the Ode to the Gallant. It was all about the understanding of combat techniques and the truth of martial arts, not the improvement of cultivation. So, why had he entered the Void-breaking Realm without knowing it?

Moreover, logically speaking, there should be a Heavenly Tribulation, probably a very terrible one, when entering the Void-breaking Realm.

But where was his Heavenly Tribulation of the Void-breaking Realm?

“It didn’t show up at all.”

“How did this happen?”

Li Mu had a vague feeling that this might have something to do with his being struck by the thunder for 10 days and nights in the Evil Dragon Mountain. Could it be that he had inadvertently passed the Divine Tribulation leading to the Void-breaking Realm?

That seemed to be the only explanation.

Nonetheless, this was no longer important. What mattered was that he had finally entered the Void-breaking Realm.

This was a big step on the road to pursue martial arts.

By the standard of the martial arts cultivation realms of the outer space, only when a man had reached the Void-breaking Realm could he be regarded as a real cultivator. And stepping into the Void-breaking Realm was just the beginning of martial arts cultivation. Cultivators in that realm were as countless as the worms in the vast universe, and could barely be noticed, so this realm was called the Worm Realm.

Before entering the Void-breaking Realm, one could not even be considered a worm among the numerous cultivators. If put it in the scientific terms on Earth, people on that level could only be regarded as “cells”.

Li Mu meticulously tasted the power in his body. He activated his natural qi and waved a hand to his side.

A ripping sound was heard.

The void was torn apart like a piece of paper, leaving a pitch-black crack in the air.

A strange attraction came out of the void, as if it was going to draw Li Mu into the crack.

In the depths of Li Mu’s mind, there was a strange impulse that he wanted to climb into the dark crack. The world behind the crack seemed to have an unspeakable appeal to his soul.

“So, this is what it feels like in the Void-breaking Realm?”

On the Divine Land, the Void-breaking Realm meant that one could ascend to the immortal realm, leave the original world like a bird breaking out of the cage, and then enter the boundless new world.

It turned out that the so-called ascension was actually to get into the void rift.

But what was behind this crack?

Was it a brand new world? Or had Li Mu just walked out of the planet in this fashion and stepped into the Brilliance Immortal Star Region?

As Li Mu pondered, the void crack quickly disappeared under the effect of the Divine Way.

He couldn’t leave the Bitter Star world for the time being.

Then, Li Mu exited from the Green Lotus Pool.

He had to figure out how much time had elapsed and how far the 10 matches between the decent and devil had been carried out.

…

“Time’s up. It’s over.”

The two hours of the period of validity finally ran out.

Qin Rushuang sneered. The Sea Shadow Sword in his hand suddenly rose with force like a serpent and lifted up. A power exceeding that of the Void-breaking Realm burst out like a spring.

Bang!

The Osmanthus Blossom Stick was sent flying.

Puff, puff, puff.

As if a viper, the sword light instantly cut into Ye Hen, Head of the Moon Dao Sect, causing squirts of blood.

Ye Hen flew backward and crashed with the edge of the deployment shield of the floating fighting ring.

“Clank!”

The sound of the Osmanthus Blossom Stick falling to the ground was heard.

Ye Hen fell feebly from the edge of the deployment shield, bleeding profusely.

Despite her determination, she was powerless to seek revenge.

Ye Hen looked unresigned.

At this time, her mind began to fall into a trance, and the side effects of the Dreamy Drug began to kick in. Blood blurred her sight. Vaguely, she saw Qin Rushuang leering like a devil and walking toward her.

“I can’t believe an old woman more than 100 years old is still so pretty. Haha, the demons of the Devil Cult are all into these eccentric skills. I’ve been wondering if the body under your green clothes looks as young as your face.”

An evil glint flashed across Qin Rushuang’s eyes.

His sword slowly stretched out to lift up Ye Hen’s robes, trying to slice Ye Hen’s clothes into pieces. In this way, he could finally humiliate Ye Hen as well as deliberately provoked the people of Mount Shu.

Ye Hen wanted to resist.

But the side effect of the Dreamy Drug made her dizzy, and her body began to fall out of control.

“How shameless! Stop it!” On the divine flying shuttle, Mr. Shuiyue and the others’ eyes were about to jump out of their sockets in wrath.

They never knew that as an expert in the Void-breaking Realm, Qin Rushuang had no self-esteem or self-respect at all. He was actually so barefaced as to employ a despicable means like this in public.

“Haha, the weak have no right to criticize others.”

Qin Rushuang smiled gloatingly.

The tip of his long sword rested on the hem of Ye Hen’s robes, tearing her clothes apart bit by bit.

“Shame on you! You’re not even worth of being human!”

Young Master of Guqin and Sword, the future leader of the Water and Moon Sect, couldn’t bear it any longer. He dashed out, landed on the floating fighting ring, unsheathed his sword and attacked.

“Haha, can’t stand it anymore? This is the sixth round, isn’t it?” Qin Rushuang withdrew his sword from Ye Hen and looked at Young Master of the Guqin and Sword. With a chuckle, he said, “Pity that at such a flowery young age, you volunteered to meet your doom. There’s really no one left in the Devil Cult. You’ve sent women to make up the numbers again and again.”

He was an experienced Jianghu man. He could tell at a glance that this Young Master of Guqin and Sword was a woman under disguise. In fact, this opponent of his was just a 16-year-old girl.

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

Young Master of the Guqin and Sword charged at Qin Rushuang like crazy.

“Too weak. You’re no match for me at all.”

As Qin Rushuang waved his sword casually, Young Master of Guqin and Sword was thrown backward. The outstanding talent in the younger generation was still too inexperienced in front of Qin Rushuang, who was high on drugs.

Young Master of Guqin and Sword stared at Qin Rushuang with bitter resentment, his eyes sharp as knives.

“Don’t look at me like that. It’s pointless. Women shouldn’t be wielding swords in the first place. Their job is to bow to the real strong ones and do their best to please them.”

A trace of obscene swirled in Qin Rushuang’s eyes.

That young woman in the black gauze had ordered him to use all means to provoke the Devil Cult. At such instigation, he began sinking into degradation, and his mind grew more and more twisted. But he hadn’t even noticed it himself.

Sword light flashed.

A ripping sound was heard.

Young Master of Guqin and Sword’s outer robe was broken, revealing the bright red inner shirt, as well as the dazzling, creamy-white skin. Strands of dark hair fanned out. She was indeed a stunning beauty.

“Stop!”

“Fight them to the death!”

“Guqin…” Mr. Shuiyue roared angrily as he drew out his sword to come to her rescue. Although he and Young Master of Guqin and Sword were nominally master and disciple, they were actually father and daughter. Young Master of Guqin and Sword was his only daughter.

The members of Mount Shu on the divine flying shuttle could no longer hold back and were about to rush out regardless of everything.

Just then, a voice rang out:

“Go back.”

A blurry jet of broadsword light cut through the void.

Broadsword Intent surged, throwing Mr. Shuiyue and the others back onto the divine flying shuttle.

At the same time, a white figure came out of thin air and instantly landed on the floating fighting ring.

A flash of broadsword light zoomed past.

Qin Rushuang felt a wave of unstoppable sharp Broadsword Qi sweeping toward him. Before he could react, the Sea Shadow Sword in his hand was smashed into countless pieces with a bang, and the self-protecting Qi around him also dissipated instantly, as if the butter was cut by a hot knife.

Cracking sounds of bones breaking rang out.

With blood coming out of his mouth, he flew backward.

“Duan Shuiliu!”

He cried, then he landed hard on the ground. The fear that had gripped him was indescribable, and he began to tremble from head to foot.

The man who suddenly appeared was precisely Li Mu.

Whoosh!

Li Mu flung out a robe backhanded to cover the delicate body of Young Master of Guqin and Sword. Without looking back, he said, “Take care of Granny Ye.”

It was not until then that Young Master of the Guqin and Sword came to her senses. She breathed a sigh of relief and spat out the blood stuck in her throat. Then, she put on the man’s robe to cover her body before rushing over to support Ye Hen, who had already begun to lose her mind. After that, she cast another look at Li Mu and said, “Take care.”

In fact, several days ago, she already recognized that Li Mu was the “weak scholar” who had exhorted her not to indulge in the legends of Jianghu in the restaurant that day.

She couldn’t believe she was so blind that day. To her surprise, the seemingly stupid weakling who had no clue about the dangers of Jianghu actually turned out to be a powerful expert under disguise.

At first, the girl thought that Li Mu was a scheming man who deliberately pretended to be weak in order to catch the strong off guard. So, she did not take the initiative to say hello to Li Mu in the White Emperor City. But now, she was full of pleasant surprise at Li Mu’s sudden appearance.

As a response, Li Mu waved without looking back.

On the divine flying shuttle, the members from Mount Shu couldn’t help cheering.

For some unknown reason, everyone suddenly felt at ease the moment they saw Li Mu’s figure. It felt as if the collapsed mountains had been restored, or the mountain torrents flooding at them suddenly flowed back…

Anyway, it was a feeling of unconditional trust.

“Teacher…”

“Consultant Li!”

The army and the people from the martial art circle on Earth also waved their fists in excitement, their faces flushed.

“It’s him, Duan Shuiliu!”

“He’s turned up.”

Among the nine major sects, the heads who had once been defeated by Li Mu felt a shudder in their hearts at the same time.

At the sight of this white figure, it seemed that the horrible broadsword light that horrified them that day appeared in front of them again. The killing intent and overwhelming violence that came directly at them bred fear in their hearts, which spread like a plague.

The young woman in black clothes from the Black Killing Tower, however, finally perked up.

He turned up.

Li Mu had finally turned up.

The opportunity had arrived.

Like a serpent that had been lurking in the dark for a long time, she began to silently flick out the venom-covered tongue.

At that moment, almost all eyes were riveted on Li Mu.

Li Mu, on the other hand, was looking at Qin Rushuang.

“How on earth did a piece of trash like you get into the Void-breaking Realm?” he demanded, striding closer to his opponent.

Qin Rushuang ran his Cultivation Method and scrambled to his feet. Looking ferocious, he bellowed, “You’ve come at the right time. I’m just about to take revenge for what happened that day. I…”

There was a flash of broadsword light.

Qin Rushuang’s head flew into the air.

Li Mu stepped on his head and said, “One more word with you makes me sick… But I can’t get rid of my anger even if I kill you neatly. Tell me, how should I deal with you rubbish?”

“You…” Qin Rushuang’s head opened its mouth and uttered in horror.

He was shocked to see that he was so vulnerable in front of Li Mu even when he had taken the elixir.

“Duan Shuiliu has become this strong?

“Or has he been hiding his strength all this time?”

“I’ve never liked to judge people with the greatest malice, but you actually overrode the definition of viciousness in my dictionary,” Li Mu said, looking menacingly calm. “The cruelty you apply to others will certainly be applied to you 10 or 100 times stronger. From now on…”

He lifted his foot and kicked Qin Rushuang’s body off the floating fighting ring, which then landed on the divine flying shuttle, all his clothes shattered.

“Hang him up!” Li Mu ordered.

So, the hideous naked body of the head of the Western Sea Sword Sect was hung in the void with a barb.

His head, however, was hung on the other side. Flames emerging from the void kept burning and refining it. Qin Rushuang’s body struggled frantically, while his head uttered miserable howls like that of a dying beast…

The indescribable agony made him suffer hugely.

“Kill me, just kill me!”

He screamed wildly. Even an expert in the Void-breaking Realm could not bear this kind of pain.

“Duan Shuiliu, give me a quick death. Ah…”

“Stop! Spare me!”

Qin Rushuang screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Li Mu just ignored him.

He looked at the body of Ouyang Huanyu, Head of the Sky-reaching Pavilion, which was hanging from the mast of the flying shuttle of the Western Sea Sword Sect. He couldn’t help but feel sorrowful. He was a kind old man, but now…

“I’ll take you home.”

He darted over like a ray of light, flying directly to the flying shuttle of the West Sea Sword Sect.
