Chapter 14 - Deadly Poison Knives
"Misunderstanding! It"s a misunderstanding! "
A scream came out from the lush leaves, following that Li Mu leaped out from the sky and landed on the ground."Why are you hiding in the trees!"
Seeing Li Mu"s dirty appearance, everyone including Senior Brother Xu heaved a sigh of relief."I... I didn"t hide, I was sleeping on a tree, didn"t you wake me up! Fortunately, I got away fast, or else I would have been shot to death by you! "
Li Mu asked innocently.
"What are you doing hiding in a tree? Speak!" Are you Leng Qingcheng"s accomplice? "
Senior Brother Xu once again nocked his bow and arrow, aimed straight at Li Mu, obviously not believing Li Mu"s words at all.
No wonder he was suspicious, who would hide in such a remote place to sleep, and coincidentally b.u.mped into them.
"What! I said I was sleeping on a tree. You guys shot me with your arrows when you had nothing to do, and even asked me if I had any laws left!"Li Mu said as he became somewhat angry. Although he might not be able to beat the seven of them, with such a unique movement skill like the river crossing step, escaping was not a problem.
Li Mu did not want to be nosy, but if the other party sees him as easy to bully, he would not be courteous.
"Laws!" Hahaha, in the northern part of Yuheng Continent, my Dahua Sect is a king"s law! Not to mention you, you stinking brat, even the Emperor of Chu has to lower his head and speak to my Dahua Sect! Hm? What are you carrying on your back? "
The Senior Brother Xu suddenly stared at the Herba Corydalis Sinensis on Li Mu"s back, his eyes lighting up.
Li Mu cursed in his heart, he had actually forgotten about the Herba Corydalis Sinensis. This Herba Corydalis Sinensis was a rare type of pill refining medicine in the outside world, whether it was used for alchemy or raw ingestion, it had a miraculous effect, especially for people who cultivated fire-attributed techniques, it was even more precious.
"It"s just an ordinary Fire Vine, what about it? Is there a problem? "Li Mu pretended to be calm. Although his face did not reveal any flaws, he still complained incessantly in his heart.
"Ordinary Fire Vine? Since that"s the case, I"ll pay a thousand taels of silver. How about you sell it to me? An ordinary Fire Vine is far from being worth such a high price. "As Senior Brother Xu spoke, he took out a money pouch from his bosom and threw it in front of Li Mu, as he said with a faint smile.
"I"m sorry, but this Fire Vine is of great use to me. No matter how much money you spend, I won"t sell it to you!"
Li Mu rejected, his heart was filled with disgust towards the Senior Brother Xu."Humph!" If you refuse a toast and refuse a forfeit, then leave your life behind! "
With a gloomy face, the Senior Brother Xu pulled the bow in his hand into a full circle. A feather arrow shot out from the bow straight towards Li Mu"s chest.
Li Mu had been preparing for this entire time. Seeing that the other party had made his move, he activated the river crossing step and with a flash, he leapt seven or eight meters away, dodging the opponent"s terrifying arrow."Kill him! If my guess is correct, he is carrying an extremely rare Herba Corydalis Sinensis behind his back. This is the main ingredient used to refine the Fire Cloud Pellet, and even if you take it raw, it will have the miraculous effect of increasing your cultivation! "
Senior Brother Xu glanced at the others.
Hearing the words "Herba Corydalis Sinensis Fire Cloud Pill", the six Dahua Sect s who did not know what was going on immediately rejoiced. The fame of the Herba Corydalis Sinensis was not small, and the Fire Cloud Pill could enhance the cultivation of warriors in the Upper Sky Realm.
Facing such temptation, how could they not be moved? The six of them immediately brandished their weapons and surrounded Li Mu."I don"t want to cause trouble, but since you guys don"t know what"s good for you, then I"ll test your methods!"
Li Mu"s Great Brahma Art circulated at full speed, and at the same time, he unleashed it."Good boy, I didn"t think that at such a young age, your cultivation would actually reach the peak of the middle Houtian realm!" But even if that"s the case, the seven of us will be able to dismember your body into ten thousand pieces! "
The eight tailed Dahua Sect disciple laughed coldly and was the first to attack. He held a four foot long plain blade and turned into a ray of light as she charged towards Li Mu.
"Huntian said that I need to experience more life and death battles in order to find the opportunity to breakthrough. Since that is the case, I will risk it all and see if the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations is as Huntian said, with a body that is invincible!"
Li Mu thought for a while, then transformed into a ray of golden light, and rushed towards the bearded Dahua Sect disciple."Shadowshape Blade Art, Triple Slash!"
Although the moustached man had a wretched appearance, his cultivation was not any weaker than Li Mu"s. With a loud shout, the plain blade in his hand released a rich green light, and in the midst of Li Mu"s bewilderment, it split into three, flying in three different directions towards Li Mu.
His Shadowshape Blade Technique was extremely profound and it seemed like he was looking at Li Mu as if he was looking at a dead man. Although the first part of the Shadowshape Blade Art was broken into three, unless one"s spiritual perception far surpa.s.sed his own, it would be extremely difficult to differentiate the real and fake, and thus he would naturally have an advantage when fighting opponents of the same level as him.After all, if the opponent"s move failed to differentiate between real and fake, then the opponent would have to receive three slashes at the same time.
Looking at the three blade images that were slashing towards him, and then looking at the cunning and confident smile on his opponent"s face, Li Mu"s lips curled into a sneer. He did not attack to block the three blade images, but used his right hand to form a palm with his palm and struck towards his opponent"s chest."Could this person be courting death!?" Facing Old Wei"s Shadowshape Blade Technique, you"re not dodging at all, and you still want to counterattack? "
"Yeah, does he think he can make Old Wei stop just like that? I"m afraid that before his attack even arrives, Old Wei will be dead after three slashes! "
Senior Brother Xu and the other three did not take action from the side, they only surrounded Li Mu, obviously having confidence in the Old Wei whom they were talking about, thinking that Li Mu was not a match for Old Wei.Clang! "Ahhh!"
A crisp sound that sounded like iron clashing, followed by a miserable scream, the moustached man slashed at Li Mu"s body, but what he did not expect, was that his slash, at full strength, was rebounded by Li Mu"s fleshly body, and at the same time, Li Mu"s palm strike landed on his chest.
"Pfft!"
Blood trickled out of the vulgar man"s mouth as he was sent flying a dozen meters back.He pointed at Li Mu and wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he choked on a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground lifeless.
"How is this possible!?" How could this person possess such a strong fleshly body? He can actually block Old Wei"s slash with just the strength of his fleshly body without being harmed in the slightest! "This was the first time they felt fear towards Li Mu. With such a strong physique, it was rare for even Innate Rankers to be able to fight against him.
"The Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations is powerful indeed, although calling it Unbreakable Body is exaggerated, but it is indeed worthy of that t.i.tle amongst warriors of the same cultivation level. This wretched man"s cultivation is not lower than mine, and even his weapon was unable to break through my defense, it seems like what I said was true."was extremely excited as he experienced the power of the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations.
"Are the six of you going to attack together, or all of you!?"
After roughly understanding the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations"s power, Li Mu was full of confidence. He picked up the vulgar man"s blade that was lying on the ground and held it in his hand.
"You"re dead meat! You dare to kill the disciples of my Dahua Sect, there will be no one left for you in the entire northern part of Yuheng Continent! "A sinister look flashed across Senior Brother Xu"s face, and the six of them attacked at the same time, pouncing towards Li Mu.
Seeing that, Li Mu"s fighting spirit rose, he injected the True Essence in his body into the blade in his hand, the originally calm blade now emitted a layer of gold light.
Li Mu unleashed his river crossing step and clashed with the six of them. Bladelight flew in all directions, and the clang sounds of various weapons clashing rang incessantly.
After fighting with the six of them, Li Mu was secretly afraid of the enemy"s strength. It was not that he had not seen warriors of the Postnatal realm before, but his own father, Li Zhenglong, was also an expert of the late Houtian realm.And the reason for this deficiency was that as Li Mu fought, he could roughly guess that the cultivation methods these six people cultivated were not low in grade, and that the martial skills they used were not weak.
The Li family"s Universe Art was a low grade Profound Rank skill. This kind of skill could be considered high quality in the Sunset City, but it was still weaker than the six people from Dahua Sect.
Li Mu guessed that of the six people from Dahua Sect, the cultivation methods they cultivated were at least of the middle grade Profound Rank or even higher. The cultivation methods of the disciples in the sect were all of this level, so Li Mu had a much higher opinion of the six people in the Dahua Sect.
"Go to h.e.l.l!"
Li Mu suddenly bellowed, his feet moved like the wind, and in a flash, he appeared behind a Dahua Sect disciple, following that, he slashed out his blade suddenly, cutting the Dahua Sect disciple into two, causing blood to flow all over the ground.
"You!"Senior Brother Xu clenched his teeth as he stared at Li Mu. He was a little aggrieved in his heart, even though his own side was so strong, they were unable to do anything to this middle stage precelestial brat.
How could they have known that Li Mu was using the supreme movement technique of the buddhist faith, the unique skill of the buddhist faith that was rumored to be able to cross the mountain and river at the first step?
"I"ll kill you!"
Seeing that his comrade had been sliced into two by Li Mu, a Dahua Sect disciple crazily roared, threw out five shiny black throwing knives, and rushed towards Li Mu.
Li Mu"s heart tensed up, facing the five throwing knives, he suddenly felt a fatal sense of danger.The river crossing step appeared once again, Li Mu"s figure turned, and dodged the attacks of five throwing knives. At the same time, he waved his hand hard, and struck two out of the five throwing knives, and with a turn, he shot towards the other bald man.
The bald man was one of the seven from the Dahua Sect, three of the late stage Houtian realm experts. Seeing the two throwing daggers aimed at him, he immediately turned around and tried to dodge.However, the bald man"s movement skill was naturally far inferior to Li Mu"s river crossing step, and at such a close distance, he had not even taken a step when one of the two throwing knives shot onto his right shoulder.
"AHH!"After being hit by the black throwing knives, the bald man let out a miserable scream like a pig being butchered. Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his entire body was covered in black blood, which constantly expanded until it was the size of a fist.
Black blood flowed out of the bald man"s body as the black bags of blood exploded one by one. However, his body was no longer in a human form. His skin and flesh started to crumble, and finally, only a puddle of black blood and a black throwing knife were left on the ground.
