“Huh?”

Feng Zhen (“Bloodless Sword”) looked surprised. He asked, “Who are you?”

Li Mu said, “I’m your master.”

With a blast, cracks suddenly spread out in all directions from where he was standing like a spider web. Taking advantage of the counterforce, Li Mu leaped into the air. Like an arrow, he pounced on Feng Zhen.

In midair, Li Mu waved his hands, and the two broadswords which had been thrown out fell back into his hands. He then held the broadswords crosswise. The blades of the broadswords shone brightly and hacked straight at the head of Feng Zhen.

“You’re courting death.”

There was a flash of anger in Feng Zhen’s narrowed eyes.

Feng Zhen directly raised a hand and pointed the tip of a finger containing sword power at the cross-shaped blades. With two cracks, the blades of the two Taoist Treasure-level broadswords that he got from the Tomb of the God of Sin were broken by the terrible sword power.

“What the f*ck?”

Li Mu was flabbergasted.

Was the real combat power of those in the Soldier Realm all so terrifying?

The remaining hilt of the broadswords in Li Mu’s hands had been broken into two cudgels.

In the face of danger, Li Mu did not panic. He wielded the cudgels with the broadsword-using method and struck at Feng Zhen.

“Oh, poor bug, you don’t know who you’re dealing with.”

Feng Zhen sneered.

He pointed his finger again.

“Blast!”

The two cudgels ruptured under the heavy blow of the sword point in his finger, which turned into pieces of metal and flew in all directions. Some pieces scratched Li Mu’s clothes and hit him on the body, making his skin and muscles go numb.

“This is not going well.”

Li Mu was extremely shocked.

The strength of this man was even more terrible than his most terrible estimation before.

The metal pieces that had been shattered by a point of his finger were darting everywhere, which probably could pierce through the body of an ordinary cultivator in the Worm Realm and kill him. The power of the blow was incredibly appalling.

“I’m no match for him!”

Li Mu made a judgment in an instant.

With the help of the counterforce, Li Mu backed away. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that Guo Yuqing and the other two had rounded the corner of the street in the distance and went out of sight. However, for a cultivator in the Soldier Realm, this distance was easy to cover in an instant.

“No, I gotta buy them more time.”

In the air, Li Mu clenched his hands. Two flashes of light glimmered in his palms before two unadorned and ancient-looking swords appeared. He paused in the air, then, instantly turned into a streak of shadows. Next, More than a dozen men looking exactly like Li Mu materialized in the air and besieged Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword. One after another, they launched jets of sword light, which charged at Feng Zhen as fast as lightning.

Li Mu had achieved that by dint of moving incredibly fast with the Somersault Cloud. It looked like he had conjured up many doppelgangers of himself.

Feng Zhen’s face was written with contempt. “Not impressed.”

He didn’t move in the air. The Sword Qi around him was rolling, and the sword light was flowing. Li Mu’s shadows were one by one punctured by the sword light and quickly dissipated into nothingness.

Li Mu then showed up a hundred meters away. His blurred figure slowly grew clear and solid. Looking down at the two swords in his hands, he found that only the hilts were left, and his clothes had been torn so much that many parts of his body were exposed and he now looked like a beggar.

“Holy cow!”

“Is this the real strength of a master in the Soldier Realm under no suppression?”

Li Mu suddenly felt that those Soldier Realm cultivators he killed with just a broadsword at the foot of the Five-finger Mountain of the Tomb of the God of Sin were really wronged. Even he himself felt that they had suffered injustice, as though prestigious emperors who happened to be in distress were strangled to death by a beggar on the street.

After two rounds of fighting, Li Mu had already come to a conclusion.

With his current cultivation, he was by no means a match for a cultivator in the Soldier Realm.

“Shall I run?”

The thought surfaced in Li Mu’s mind, but he forced himself to suppress it.

No.

Brother Guo and the others probably had not gone far, so he had to hang in there for a while longer.

Li Mu looked at Feng Zhen. Between his eyebrows, his Third Eye snapped open, hoping to find the flaws and weaknesses of Feng Zhen’s Cultivation Method.

At this time, many flying shuttles had arrived. More and more cultivators were coming from all directions. Soon, Li Mu and Feng Zhen were surrounded by layers of cultivators. Dense morning mist spread out before the sun set, giving off a suffocating atmosphere.

“Master, it’s him. He ruined our plan and let the woman and Guo Yuqing slip away.”

The mist suddenly parted as a flying shuttle came to Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword. The man standing on the deck was Mu Shun. At the sight of Li Mu, he immediately shouted those words.

However, he did not recognize Li Mu.

Because at this time, Li Mu had taken on the appearance of a burly man with round eyes and a thick beard. He was also wearing the aura-altering jade piece. So, he now looked like a completely different man. And in the previous fight, Li Mu was careful not to display his most characteristic broadsword-using method and Broadsword Intent, so as not to be recognized.

Mu Shun had been injured again.

When Li Mu was covering Guo Yuqing in that alley in the rain, he killed everyone that came at him and injured Mu Shun again.

However, Mu Shun was really good at escaping, who quickly retreated. At that time, Li Mu was worried about the follow-up chasers, so he did not go after Mu Shun. Instead, he hurried to the abandoned courtyard and met up with Guo Yuqing.

At this time, seeing that Feng Zhen had completely suppressed Li Mu, Mu Shun finally dared to get near Li Mu.

Feng Zhen nodded.

In the two rounds, although Li Mu was completely overpowered, his strength was indeed not what that Mu Shun and the members of the law enforcement team could resist.

“Who are you?” Feng Zhen looked at Li Mu and said, “With your strength, if you had been in Star Wind City all the time, you wouldn’t have been a nobody. Just tell me why you helped them. Then, you wouldn’t have to go through more suffering.”

“So you are the elder of the Tianyi Palace. It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that your disciple allowed the members of the Tianyi Palace to rob and kill innocent people. Do you know about this?” As Li Mu spoke, he stared at Feng Zhen’s face to observe the changes in his expression.

Feng Zhen said blandly, “That’s impossible. The Tianyi Palace is a decent sect. What’s more, those ordinary rogue cultivators were all killed by that Li Mu, the murderous maniac. It has nothing to do with the Tianyi Palace.”

Li Mu was stung by Feng Zhen’s indifference.

“What if I have evidence?” Li Mu sneered.

Next to him, Mu Shun was startled. He looked at Feng Zhen and called with anxiety and guilt, “Master…”

But Feng Zhen didn’t even look at him. Instead, he smirked at Li Mu and remarked, “Even if you had evidence, you forget it. No matter what, the Tianyi Palace would never do that kind of thing. Do you understand?”

Li Mu nodded.

“Yes, I got it.”

He really understood.

They were birds of a feather.

This well-known cultivator in the Soldier Realm was basically the same kind of person as Mu Shun. As the saying goes, when the above behave wrongly the below will do the same. Without Feng Zhen’s approval and support, how could Mu Shun mobilize so many members of the Tianyi Palace and even the law enforcement team?

“It’s good that you understand,” Feng Zhen said, “Tell me, where did that woman and Guo Yuqing, the bastard from the inferior world escape to? If you come clean quickly, I’ll give you a quick death, otherwise…”

The coercive and threatening edge in his voice made people’s hair stand on end.

Li Mu knew that this cultivator in the Soldier Realm had really prepared to kill him.

If Feng Zhen only wanted to capture Li Mu a moment ago, now, there was no way that he would allow Li Mu to leave alive because of the so-called evidence.

The indignation and fighting spirit started burning in Li Mu’s heart at the same time.

The so-called martial arts civilization in the universe had been standing at the top of the tide of martial arts civilizations. Now, it had been filled with filth and darkness. Li Mu just had to adopt the most primitive method to tear it up.

Seeing Li Mu’s attitude, Feng Zhen sneered.

He made a move himself. A shot of thick Sword Qi burst out from the tip of his finger and dashed toward Li Mu, as though it was a real sword.

Li Mu bent his arm, and a rusty ancient shield appeared over his elbow. His natural qi swirled and was injected into the ancient shield. Layers of mysterious Taoist figures began to glint. In an instant, the brilliance formed half a sphere with a diameter of more than two meters that safely wrapped Li Mu in.

It was one of the best Taoist Treasures he had obtained from the Tomb of the God of Sin.

“Crack!”

The moment the Sword Qi hit the glowing sphere, the sound of glass cracking rang out. The sphere split open and the Taoist figures shattered.

The rusty ancient shield on Li Mu’s arm also turned into powder and dispersed.

“Wham!”

Li Mu was directly sent flying by the impact.

“Haha, no one can stop Master’s divine might.” Mu Shun was instantly delighted at the sight of this.

Feng Zhen’s expression was still calm.

Even though Li Mu’s strength was more peculiar than that of the common ones in the Worm Realm, for him, to kill such a weak cultivator in the Worm Realm was just a piece of cake.

The gap between the Worm Realm and the Soldier Realm was hundreds of millions of light-years. How could a small Taoist Treasure make up for it?

Li Mu was too naive.

But shortly, the disciples of the Tianyi Palace couldn’t help letting out a cry of astonishment.

Li Mu’s clothes were all shredded, and his naked body slowly emerged behind the fog. His perfect muscles seemed to be carved out of the best jade in the world. He looked like a flawless work of art. Also, there was a thick mist flowing around him.

Of course, the most surprising part was that Li Mu’s body was not wounded at all.

It was as if the deadly blow launched by the Soldier Realm cultivator had struck someone else.

With his mouth wide open, Mu Shun asked, “How is this possible?”

Feng Zhen’s pupils contracted slightly.

“He is still alive?”

He attacked again. Another streak of sword light pelted forward.

Li Mu’s Third Eye had been fully activated, and there was the Primeval Qi swirling inside, which had foreseen the coming attack. So, Li Mu cast the Somersault Cloud at once. His figure flashed and disappeared.

That streak of sword light brushed past, leaving an opening in the encirclement behind. In that instant, countless disciples of the Tianyi Palace standing in the way of the sword light had been directly turned into a mist of blood!

Feng Zhen had accidentally injured his sect members.

He was now shocked and angry.

But at this moment, Li Mu, like a white pony’s shadow crossing a crevice, swiftly slipped through the opening of the encirclement created by Feng Zhenjian’s sword light and flew away like a flash of lightning

Since he couldn’t win, he’d better run.

He would take his time to settle the accounts later.

After all, where there is life, there is hope.

Li Mu was not the kind of person who insisted on fighting his way out of a dead end.

However, he still underestimated the magic skills and methods of the Soldier Realm cultivators when they were not under suppression. A moment later, after getting over the shock, Feng Zhen directly activated a Light Teleportation Talisman, and arrived at Li Mu’s front in an instant. He directly pointed a finger at Li Mu. The sword light shot out again and pierced Li Mu’s protective energy zone before hitting the spot between Li Mu’s eyebrows.

Li Mu, who was moving at a high speed, was immediately knocked to the air. Like a rag doll, he flew back at an even faster speed before he crashed into the encirclement again.

“I’ll send you to hell.”

Feng Zhen’s killing intent was seething.

“Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!”

In an instant, countless rays of Sword Qi shot out from his right hand and continuously bombarded Li Mu’s body, repeatedly throwing him toward the ground.

“Huh? Still alive?”

Feng Zhen was surprised to find that even though a cultivator at the same level of the Soldier Realm as he was would have died thousands of times under the attack of his Sword Qi, Li Mu’s whole body was still unscathed. Except that his skin and flesh were slightly sunken, his body was intact.

The undying body?

He was astounded.

“Could it be that he has practiced some kind of king-level Cultivation Method?” Feng Zhen’s eyes were immediately burning with passion.

In the end, he sealed the natural qi in Li Mu’s body with a secret method, and then tied Li Mu with the shackles designed to contain a cultivator in the Soldier Realm and captured him alive.

“Take him back,” Feng Zhen ordered.

Then, when he continued to look for Guo Yuqing and the others again, they were already nowhere to be found.
