Chapter 129 - Fighting Luo JieOn the way to the White Jade Square, Li Mu would occasionally touch his chest. At the location of his chest, heliogram fragment was stuck close to his chest, and he had already called for Luan Tian with his spirit sense many times. However, Luan Tian did not react at all, and Li Mu knew that he had exhausted his spirit energy and fell into a deep sleep.
"w.a.n.g Cheng!" I must kill you! Just you wait! "
Thinking back to the miserable scene he had experienced yesterday, Li Mu secretly clenched both his fists as he hated w.a.n.g Cheng to the bones. If not for the fact that he spent all his energy trying to suppress the poison in his body within a short period of time, and Leng Qingcheng accidentally barged into his pavilion, he would have probably turned into ashes long ago.
Thinking about how he had cultivated to this day, not finding out where his father was, not rescuing his imprisoned mother, and not being able to accomplish even three things he had promised to help Huntian. If he had really died in such a useless manner yesterday, then even if he became a vile soul, he would still not be willing to accept it.
"Senior Brother Li, what happened to you?" Why does my face look so ugly, touching my chest all the time, could it be that the injury I suffered yesterday has yet to recover? "
Sensing that something was wrong with Li Mu, Zhou Xianguan asked with concern.
"It"s nothing. I was just thinking about something."
Li Mu shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and the two of them quickly arrived above the White Jade Square.
"Wah!" Today"s arena has been changed to twenty-five seats, and even the referee has been replaced by a sacred art elder. Senior-apprentice Brother Li, look, so many sacred art core disciples have come! "
As soon as he stepped into White Jade Square, Zhou Xianguan shouted excitedly.
"This is not strange at all, the core disciples are already few in number, their fight should have already ended, now that it"s the top 50, it"s normal for them to be interested in it. As for the referee turning to an elder of the Divine Arts realm, it"s understandable, after all, in this kind of situation, a Xiantian realm steward is having a hard time suppressing the crowd."Li Mu was not surprised by the change in the plaza today as he walked towards the arena in large strides.
"Senior Brother Li Mu! Senior Brother Li Mu is here! "
As soon as Li Mu rushed to the second stage, many disciples who were spectating started to scream, this yell immediately attracted many people"s attention, in conclusion, the limelight created by Li Mu, was the strongest among all the inner disciples of Gold Jade Sect.
Whether it was Li Mu who took three moves of Li Yangtian"s attack, or his counterattack that injured his opponent, or the fact that he had always been the victor in one strike when facing off against his opponent, many people had even immediately given up on the match. Of course, the exciting battle with w.a.n.g Cheng yesterday as well, all of these pushed Li Mu to the heart of the struggle."You are Li Mu? I heard that you have become quite famous recently! "
It was a man that looked to be in his thirties. He wore a set of yellow Gold Jade Sect inner court disciple apparel, and in his hand he held a fiery red square halberd, the zhen yuan cultivation was as deep as the ocean, he was extremely strong in late Xiantian."Senior brother Luo Jie, he is today"s opponent for Senior brother Li, and has not even stepped onto the stage yet. Why are the two of them chatting, could it be that they are going to make a move now?"
Some of the spectating disciples muttered softly. They looked at the middle-aged man with the ancient halberd in her hand with reverence.
"I don"t know if your name is famous or not, I only know that those who stand in my way will be my whetstone. If you want to stand in my way, then you will also be one of my whetstones!"
Li Mu looked at the man in front of him, and replied extremely arrogantly. He could also tell that this man was his opponent today, Luo Jie."Arrogant!" Who knows whose grindstone it is, I heard that your body-tempering method cultivation is not bad, and it just so happens that I am proud of this body, and today we will fight on the stage! Other than that, I heard that you won five thousand crystal from w.a.n.g Family"s w.a.n.g Cheng yesterday.
Luo Jie did not dislike Li Mu"s arrogance at all, and instead said with a smile that was not a smile on his face."Play? You want to play like this? Do you want to send me crystal too? " Li Mu sneered.
Luo Jie took out a bag of crystal s and weighed it in his hands, then said: "You can think of it this way, this is five thousand crystal, let"s take a gamble, if you win, we can take away their five thousand, what do you think?"
"You disciples of the big families are indeed rich. Just one attack and you already possess thousands of crystal. You truly are worthy of being a member of the Great Qin"s top ten clans, the Luo Family!"
The way w.a.n.g Cheng acted before, was similar now. The inner disciples of the Gold Jade Sect could only receive five crystal s a month, and even if he relied on collecting materials, hunting low level beasts, growing herbs and elixirs, the amount of crystal he could earn in a month would only be around ten or so.
If ordinary disciples were to be compared with the disciples of the big families, they would be like one on the ground while the other was in the sky. No wonder the Gold Jade Sect Disciple was divided into East and West, it was because the difference was just too great."What is it? Junior Brother Li, do you not dare to bet? Five thousand crystal should be enough for you right? Or do you have no confidence in yourself? Since that"s the case, you should give up on this battle as soon as possible.
Seeing that Li Mu did not respond to him, Luo Jie used a method to provoke him.
"What"s there to be afraid of? If you want to bet, just do it. There are five thousand crystal here. If you win, just take it!"
Li Mu could not bear it the most and immediately took out the crystal bag that he had won from w.a.n.g Cheng.
"Hahaha!" Good, only a battle will be interesting! "
Seeing that Li Mu had agreed to the wager, Luo Jie laughed out loud.
"The battle begins. Number one thousand three hundred and fourteen Li Mu, against nine hundred sixty-five Luo Jie!"
Just at this time, the Gold Jade Sect Elder in charge of Stage Two spoke. He was an existence of the sacred art realm, directly flying to Stage Two and looking down at the stage below.
Li Mu and Luo Jie looked at each other, then stepped onto the stage at the same time."I like to fight with strong warriors, this is not considered boring, make your move, let me see how capable you are, to be able to gain such a reputation in the Gold Jade Sect!"
Luo Jie walked up onto the stage and pointed his fiery red ancient halberd at Li Mu, signalling for him to make the first move, showing his intent of provocation.
"Humph!" I was just thinking of meeting you too! "Li Mu snorted, following that, he moved the river crossing step beneath his feet, causing the black iron hammer in his hand to dance about chaotically, and went straight for Luo Jie.
"Such agility!" But it"s no use to me! "Luo Jie bellowed, the energy on the ancient halberd in his hand increased sharply, a layer of scarlet flame appeared on the surface of the halberd. He waved the halberd, materializing a fiery red flame shield around him, enveloping himself within it.
Luo Jie had just finished doing all of this, when Li Mu had already arrived in front of him.
"Boom!"The Heavy Profound Iron Hammer smashed down, smashing apart the fiery red flame shield with a single strike, and descended straight onto Luo Jie"s body.
Luo Jie did not expect that his protective shield of light would be so weak against his opponent"s hammer attack. He immediately waved the ancient halberd in his hand to block in front of him.
"Clang!" When the two weapons collided, an ear-piercing explosion resounded. A golden wave mixed with fiery red Essence spread out in all directions, instantly covering the entire arena.
Luo Jie"s expression changed greatly, he could feel that the power of Li Mu"s hammer strike actually had the power of several tens of thousands of jin. If not for his small success in training his body, and the ancient halberd in his hands becoming a powerful peak 9th grade ordinary weapon, he would not have been able to withstand this hammer strike.
"You are the first martial artist of the same rank who can directly take my hammer without moving it a single bit, but let"s see how long you can go on for!"
Li Mu was also surprised that Luo Jie could not move at all after receiving his hammer attack, but he did not intend to stop there. With a sudden wave of his other hand, his Mysterious Iron Hammer ruthlessly smashed onto"s halberd.
"Boom!"
The power of the strike was earth-shattering, causing Luo Jie to retreat. If not for the fact that he had used the ancient halberd in time to block the strike, he might have been knocked out of the arena by the strike.
"Such great strength. Your pair of heavy hammers are not light, right? To actually be able to unleash such a great strength!"
Luo Jie who had stopped in his tracks stared at the pitch black hammers in Li Mu"s hands, his eyes revealing a serious look.
"It"s not heavy. 25,000 jins for a single hammer and 50,000 jins for a pair of dual hammers. If you can withstand two of my hammers, then you are indeed worthy to be my opponent!" Li Mu replied arrogantly.
"What!?" Fifty thousand kilograms, what body-tempering method are you cultivating in? My Gold Jade Sect has never heard of a cultivation technique that can give a cultivator such strength at the Innate Realm! "Upon hearing that Li Mu"s dual hammers would weigh fifty thousand kilograms, Luo Jie"s face changed greatly. Not only him, even the observers below the stage revealed a surprised look, there was no lack of experts of the Divine Arts realm among them. Even if one cultivated in the body-tempering method, it was impossible for one to have such strength in the Innate Realm, even the elders of the Divine Arts realm in the air could not help but stare at Li Mu.
"What a great match for you. It looks like I won"t be able to defeat you without using some strength. Nine Body Refining Tactic, Fire Spirit Battle Body!"
When Luo Jie, who had suffered a setback in the confrontation with him, unleashed his True Fire, two b.a.l.l.s of deep red flames suddenly emerged from his eyes, and at the same time, lines after lines of sinister and terrifying deep red fire shaped patterns appeared on his skin. A burst of explosive Qi spread out from Luo Jie"s body, and it was at least several times stronger than what he had displayed in the beginning.
My halberd is only twenty thousand kilograms, but it can"t even compare to one of your hammers. However, if you think that this is my true strength, then you are wrong, come, let me use the Fire Spirit Battle Body in such a short period of time, you are the first amongst the same level! "After Luo Jie finished speaking, the ancient halberd in his hands hummed, and transformed into a beam of fiery light, he pounced towards Li Mu.
"Magic Light Armor, Chaotic Dance of the Wind!"
Feeling the berserk aura on Luo Jie"s body increase by more than several times, Li Mu did not dare to be careless. He immediately activated the devil light congealing armor on his Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations, and a layer of dark golden origin energy scales appeared on his body. At the same time, he also used the flurry hammer technique, transforming into a grey shadow that clashed with Luo Jie.
