Emperor of the North

Amongst all the abilities that Li Mu knew, the speed at which the Stunning Needle could be said to be the fastest. After all, one could not even see with the naked eye the speed at which one could release their Spiritual Sense.

"AHH!"

With a plop, Li Mu fell into the lake. The wound on his chest was still continuously leaking blood, but he didn"t have the time to care about it as he tightly hugged his head, constantly letting out miserable cries. The injuries to his primordial spirit were different from the injuries to his physical body, which was only the surface.

"A Spiritual Sense attack type ability. I even need to prepare for it. If not, I really would have been tricked by you. Hehe, now you must have suffered some backlash!"

Standing in midair, Crooked Sword wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, then with a sneer, he descended into the lake below, quickly arriving above Li Mu"s head.

"Hmm? Don"t tell me you"re going to die just like that! "

Seeing Li Mu sink into the lake, Qu Jian Xie could not help but mutter to himself. He suddenly formed a claw with his right hand, and grabbed onto the surface of the lake, where a large hand made of True Essence formed from it suddenly condensed and condensed in mid air, and then, under the control of Qu Jian Xie"s Spiritual Sense, he rushed into the lake.

At this time, Li Mu"s entire body was drenched, especially the wound on his chest, where fresh blood was continuously flowing out. Although he was not dead, he was only half a step away from dying.

Using a powerful technique to grab Li Mu, Qu Jian Xie looked at the dying Li Mu and laughed sinisterly.

"You … "Go to h.e.l.l!"

The silver light that Li Mu spat out continuously grew in size in the air. From the size of a fingernail to the size of a fist, it quickly grew to the size of an adult"s fist. It was actually a silver beetle.

The silver beetle"s eyes were a faint golden color, and on its back were six golden specks of light. It was Li Mu"s Intrinsic Spirit Insect, Jin Tong.

Upon seeing Li Mu spitting something towards him, Qu Jian Xie subconsciously moved the True Essence in his body, condensing a layer of silver True Essence to protect himself from Li Mu"s hidden weapon.

"Clang!"

"G.o.d Slaughtering Bug!" This is the G.o.d Slaughtering Worm that has made your name resound throughout Yuheng Continent, only so-so! "

In terms of defensive power, Qu Jian Xie believed that his true essence light shield could block an attack from a normal True King ranked expert, but he had underestimated the Six Star Deicide worm"s innate skill in devouring, and with Jin Tong"s quick bite, a hole was created in the silver light barrier around Qu Jian Xie"s body, after which the entire silver light barrier crumbled and turned into nothingness.

"Whoosh!"

Without the obstruction of the silver barrier, Jin Tong"s six wings moved together, transforming into a silver afterimage, he rushed towards the center of Qu Jian Xie"s brows, wanting to destroy Qu Jian Xie"s primordial spirit in one go. However, Qu Jian Xie was after all the strongest in the younger generation of Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and was a Supreme King among his generation, even though Jin Tong was fast enough, he was still unable to defeat Qu Jian Xie in terms of reaction speed.

Just as Jin Tong was about to touch Qu Jian Xie"s skin, Qu Jian Xie opened his mouth and spat out a five-colored spiritual light. This five-colored spiritual light contained a strong power of the five elements, and immediately enveloped Jin Tong, forming a one-foot long five-color light shield.

After Jin Tong was trapped within the five-color light shield, he continuously tried to break out of the five-colored light barrier. However, no matter how he tried to break out, every time he touched the surface of the light barrier, he would be repelled.

Seeing that his Intrinsic Spirit Insect had failed its sneak attack and was instead trapped by Qu Jian Xie, Li Mu"s already weakened face revealed a look of disappointment. The opponent used a method to trap Jin Tong, which was the G.o.d Slaughtering Worm"s most feared ability, the Five Elements Convergence Technique.

"You still want to sneak attack me? Hehe, I advise you not to waste your efforts. I have already investigated your situation thoroughly, including your method of Spiritual Sense Attacking and the G.o.d Slaughtering Bugs. Oh …" I forgot, you still have a calabash shaped Soul Treasure right? That thing can kill even more quickly, but even if you use it to deal with me, I am not afraid! "

Looking at Jin Tong who was trapped by him, and then looking at the disappointed Li Mu, Qu Jian Xie burst out laughing, only then did Li Mu know that the other party had already prepared fully, and had even known what trump card he had, and that Qu Jian Xie should have a way to deal with him.

"Are you really that sure that you will eat me?"

Being at a disadvantage, Li Mu stared at Qu Jian Xie who was laughing and asked weakly.

"Hahaha, I forgot to tell you, I, Qu Jian Xie have never been defeated. Any heaven"s pride level expert, any talented individual, they are all stepping stones for me on my path towards the Immortal Dao, including you!"

Qu Jian Xie revealed a crazed look on his face as he shouted at Li Mu. His tone was filled with extreme arrogance, the arrogance that he had was many times richer than a normal sword cultivator"s arrogance. At least, Li Mu had never seen such an arrogant person, arrogant to the point of not putting anyone in his eyes.

"Whoosh!"

After the scarlet red line of fire had pierced through the five colored light barrier, before Qu Jian Xie could react, it had directly struck his abdomen and instantly ignited his body, and even though he had explained it so quickly, it actually only took half a breath.

As his body was ignited by the red flames, Qu Jian Xie immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream. The silver light on his body grew brighter, wanting to use the power of his true essence to suppress the red flames, but what he did not expect was, the red flames were extremely terrifying, even burning his true essence, and the true essence that surged out of Qu Jian Xie"s body not only did not extinguish the red flames, but instead caused the fire to become more and more fierce.

"BOOM!"

In the end, Qu Jian Xie was really unable to endure the pain of the raging flames burning his body. He dove head first into the lake and disappeared without a trace.

After the True Origin outside his body dissipated, because Li Mu was heavily injured and was unable to control the light, he too fell towards the lake surface, but Li Mu seemed to be prepared for this. He shouted at Jin Tong, who was not far away, and with a twist in the air, he arrived below Li Mu.

Landing on Jin Tong"s back, Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief, he glanced down at the lake surface and discovered that the scarlet fire on Qu Jian Xie"s body, which had fallen into the lake, had not extinguished yet. Instead, a large portion of the lake water had turned into steam from the burning flames, flying up into the sky.

Even though Li Mu was confident in the power of Jin Tong"s Scarlet Flame Line, he did not believe that Crooked Sword would die so easily. Without stopping, he rushed towards Jin Tong and with a flap of his six wings, he turned into a streak of golden light and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Not long after Li Mu and Jin Tong left, a violent roar sounded out from beneath the lake surface, following which, all the water within a few miles of radius flew up into the sky, quickly condensing into a blue colored ball of water around ten meters wide in mid air …
