Chapter 185: Meeting Mu Liufeng Again
Thinking about it, Li Ruihong’s cultivation should be at a reasonable level. After all, he was a messenger of the Deity Temple. Judging from his dressing and the people who were following him, his position in the Deity Temple would not be considered a low one. However, Ling Chuxi was a little confused by the current situation. Why was Mu Liufeng here? Was it in fact Mu Liufeng who directed the wave of murderous intent at Li Ruihong earlier on?
Li Ruihong was drenched in a cold sweat by now. He could hear his opponent’s voice but could not tell where it was coming from. However, he could feel a faint and vague murderous intent surrounding him. The effect generated by all these things combined truly left one feeling terrified.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. How can the grandson of Priest Li, one of the four main priests of the Deity Temple, whom he was so proud of, act like this? See, even your thigh is trembling,” chimed a playful and charming voice lazily from the darkness of night.
Li Ruihong suddenly turned around and saw that a man in black had silently appeared behind him. His opponent had actually identified him instantly! If his opponent knew of his ident.i.ty and yet displayed such an att.i.tude towards him, who could he possibly be?
Ling Chuxi who heard this from afar, frowned. One of the four main priests of the Deity Temple? She never thought that Li Ruihong had such a background. Indeed, his position in the Deity Temple was not a low one. It was just that, what exactly did Mu Liufeng wish to do to him?
“How dare you?! Who are you?! Since you know my ident.i.ty, you should be kneeling to me in greeting!” yelled Li Ruihong as his hands trembled slightly due to the terror slowly spreading through him.
“Guess.” Suddenly, there was a gleam of silver light as Mu Liufeng leapt up into the air and removed his sword from its sheath. He made just a single move then he gently landed on his feet. After he landed, he looked in Ling Chuxi’s direction and showed off that devilish face of his, with his bewitching eyes filled with charm and a smiling intent. Using the tips of his toes, he glided over to Ling Chuxi.
Ling Chuxi’s eyes immediately flew open. As she kept her gaze past Mu Liufeng’s approaching figure, she clearly saw that Li Ruihong stood rooted to the spot when suddenly a spurt of blood shot out of his neck like an arrow. Then, Li Ruihong slowly crumbled to the ground, no longer breathing. It only took a single move for Li Ruihong to die by Mu Liufeng’s hand.
“What are you looking at?” questioned Mu Liufeng as he appeared by Ling Chuxi. The corners of his lips curled up into an enchanting smile.
“Mu Liufeng…” called out Ling Chuxi slowly as she stared at the person in front of her. The scene that had just taken place in front of her eyes had shocked her. Who exactly was Mu Liufeng? Why did he kill someone from the Deity Temple without even blinking? What kind of level had Mu Liufeng’s cultivation reached? Everything was a mystery.
“You wicked disciple! You actually don’t even greet me when we meet!” rebuked Mu Liufeng as he squinted his bewitching eyes and reached out a hand to ruffle Ling Chuxi’s hair.
“Who exactly are you?” asked Ling Chuxi in a serious tone as she deftly moved her head slightly, out of Mu Liufeng’s reach.
“I am your master,” deflected Mu Liufeng lazily, still wearing a charming smile that was full of undecipherable feelings.
“My Lord.” Suddenly two people speedily approached.
“Yeah?” answered Mu Liufeng with the same lazy att.i.tude as he slowly turned around to look at the two people who were rus.h.i.+ng over.
Ling Chuxi sized up the two men in black who had rushed over, trying to guess Mu Liufeng’s ident.i.ty in her heart. It could be seen with a mere glance that these two men in black were experts who had been well trained. Why did they call Mu Liufeng, Lord? Could it be that Mu Liufeng was also a part of the Deity Temple and he was eradicating dissidents? No. That can’t be right! Mu Liufeng said such mocking words toward Li Ruihong earlier that it did not seem like he was a part of the Deity Temple.
Then, who exactly was Mu Liufeng?
