Chapter 1039 I Once Had Everything
Li Muyun’s body was penetrated by the icy Sword Intent.
He coughed up blood and retreated.
In the blink of an eye, Li Muyun’s body was covered with a faint layer of blue frost, which became stiff. There was a huge b.l.o.o.d.y hole by his heart that was almost transparent. It could be seen that the internal organs in his chest had been frozen into ice.
“Ahem… Incredible Saber and Sword, as expected… extraordinary.” Li Muyun pressed the wound with his left hand, and blood gushed out of his mouth. However, he showed a smile on his face and said, “I lost. After all, I lost. I’ve been busy in this life, but I ended up with nothing at last. Haha, haha!”
His laughter was full of self-mockery.
He lost the vitality in his body, which couldn’t be regained.
He knew that he had suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat today.
It was said that people could see the things that happened in the past before they died. In a trance, Li Muyun seemed to see his brother in white who had just entered the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect in the past. He saw that back then, he was ambitious and wanted to turn the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect into the strongest sect in the Snow Province with his own strength. He saw the smiling face of the head of the sect, the benevolent expression of his master, and Instructor Ah Heng, who had died under the claws of the demonic beasts in order to save him.
“Haha, you all know the love affair between Ding Hao and Ximen Qianxue. But who knew that I also had a gentle instructor as my lover?”
Fate was so cruel that it forced a simple-minded young man to walk on the road of no return.
He remembered that when she died, he kept thinking about it for ten days and ten nights without eating or drinking.
He and Ding Hao were people of the same kind. Why did they have different fates?
The only answer was that he was not strong enough.
Therefore, when the devil-like temptation appeared in front of him, Li Muyun accepted it without hesitation.
Although he didn’t know why those people chose him, although he didn’t know why they valued him and what they were plotting, Li Muyun accepted everything when they swore that they would never hurt the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.
This was because the power that those people had displayed was simply too terrifying.
Later, Li Muyun learned that those people came from the Hades Ghost Sect.
Then, he got to his situation today by what he had done step by step.
Once he entered the Hades Ghost Sect, he couldn’t walk away from it for the rest of his life.
After entering the Hades Ghost Sect, Li Muyun had no way out. Although he finally became the only successor by showing the unparalleled talent of ghost cultivation and making progress before he defeated all the compet.i.tors, the Ghost Charm in his body became clearer and clearer.
“Haha, hahaha…” Li Muyun laughed.
Feeling the weakening vitality in his body, he felt sad for himself. He had given everything, but in the end, he still couldn’t defeat Ding Hao. “Is this the will of heaven?”
If it was really possible, who would not be willing to be a great hero and get praised by everyone but a villain that was despised by others?
Fate was so cruel.
“I used to have everything, but it is all gone in the blink of an eye… Ah Heng, I’m sorry to have you wait alone underground for so many years. I’ll come to accompany you now. We’ll never be separated again…” Li Muyun burst into tears unconsciously.
Ah Heng was the female instructor of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect who had died in the hands of the Demon Clan in order to protect him.
He suddenly felt exhausted and wanted to sleep.
“Big Brother…” Liang Feixue came to Li Muyun’s side like a flash of lightning, held his shaky body, and burst into tears. Only the people of the Sky Immortal Sect knew what was happening in the Hades Ghost Sect. Only he knew what Li Muyun had gone through these years.
This man had taken a difficult path.
“Big Brother!”
“Big Brother, you…”
Chen Sheng and the others also rushed over with tears in their eyes.
No matter what happened in the past, they all believed in Li Muyun’s affection for them as brothers. If he did stop caring about them, why was his strength so gentle when he pushed them away?
He was just trying to prevent Chen Sheng and others from being implicated by him by severing ties with them.
He was already a traitor to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, so he didn’t want Chen Sheng and others to become the marginal men of the sect and lose their future.
Li Muyun lay quietly in Liang Feixue’s arms when a smile appeared on his face. “Feixue, Jiu, Sheng… I… I… I… I… I’m sorry…”
Tears streamed down the faces of Chen Sheng and the others.
Ding Hao saw it and sighed in his heart.
Li Muyun was indeed a person who was extremely proud and conceited. it was easy for this kind of person to go to the extreme. Maybe this was one of the reasons why he took the path of no return. The obsession in his heart was too great.
“The reason why he stopped the wedding today is to find an excuse to fight with me, isn’t it?
“In fact, as I said at the beginning, he is indeed here to die today.”
They had fought in the Land of Divine Grace before. Li Muyun should know that he was no match for Ding Hao, but he couldn’t wait to come and challenge him when all the human experts in the entire Snow Province gathered together.
Maybe he did get tired of what he had done and couldn’t see the hope of victory, so he decided to go all out.
It was undoubtedly the best time for a duel on such an occasion where all the experts in the Northern Region were present.
If death could settle everything, wouldn’t it be better to die in the hands of the enemy?
Originally, they were the two greatest disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, but unfortunately, it was just like the saying – “if two men ride on a horse, one must ride behind.”
But Li Muyun could say “I’m sorry” at this time. With his pride and arrogance, he would rather make a mistake than turn back. He actually said these words, which showed how much he valued the brotherhood in his heart and how guilty he was to his brothers.
On the other side.
Li Muyun’s breath was getting weaker and weaker.
“I… today… all of this is… my own choice. When I die… everything won’t matter. Don’t be… against Ding Hao. You… you are still disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect…” Li Muyun’s voice was intermittent.
The black fog on his body dissipated little by little, and the bronze grimace mask fell to the ground, revealing a calm face. The ink-like Ghost Qi on it gradually evaporated in the sunlight, revealing a handsome face.
With the loss of vitality, the Ghost Charm in his body sensed the changes and finally left his body.
Once he entered the Hades Ghost Sect, he could only be relieved by death.
As if he had regained his vitality before death, Li Muyun suddenly struggled to sit up, clasped his left hand on Chen Sheng’s palm, and held Chen Qidong’s hand with his right hand. The power in his body was surging as if he had returned to his peak state in an instant. The endless power entered the bodies of the two people.
“Big Brother…”
“Big Brother, what are you…”
The two were shocked, but they couldn’t struggle at all. They only felt that their bodies were like balloons, and they were filled with Qi in an instant. The currents in the meridian channels surged, and pure energy filled their bodies.
After dozens of breaths, Li Muyun released their hands and grabbed Sun Jiutian’s and He Gang’s hands.
In the blink of an eye, except for Liang Feixue, the other five brothers were injected with pure Qi.
He laughed and stood up as if he had returned to his peak state. His aura was surging in a majestic manner, and his eyes were s.h.i.+ning. He looked at Ding Hao and said, “What I injected into their bodies is not the power of the Hades Ghost Sect, but the purest power of the Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture that I have cultivated. I didn’t steal the skills of other sects.”
Ding Hao nodded.
There was finally a trace of grat.i.tude in Li Muyun’s eyes. He hesitated for a moment and whispered, “Junior… Junior Brother Ding Hao, we’ll fight again in the next life!”
Even at the end of his life, he still called Ding Hao his junior brother, even if it was in fact that he was admitting his mistake in such a subtle way.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly shot up into the sky.
“Ah Heng, I’m coming to you… We’ll never be separated again, never again…”
However, less than a hundred meters away, Li Muyun’s body suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke with a bang and disappeared completely from the world.
Chen Sheng and the others were so sad that they couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Liang Feixue looked up at the sky and couldn’t help but feel sad. Tears fell down his face.
Countless people were moved by this scene.
Although Li Muyun had taken an evil path, what he did before his death could be regarded as a great decision. Some people who knew the past couldn’t help but sigh at his fate. “Li Muyun was a stunning master, but it’s just that he was second to Ding Hao. If it weren’t for Ding Hao, Li Muyun’s achievements today would definitely be remembered in history.”
Ding Hao didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t regret killing Li Muyun today. If it weren’t for his strength, he would have been killed by Li Muyun countless times over the years. There was no mercy for the enemy.
But such an ending made Ding Hao feel sad in his heart.
Liang Feixue was stunned for a moment, then he turned to Ding Hao and cupped his hands, saying, “Senior Brother Ding, this matter is over, and I should leave now.” He came for Li Muyun, but unfortunately, he couldn’t do anything about what had happened.
“Won’t you stay in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect?” Ding Hao tried to persuade him to stay.
Liang Feixue and Li Muyun were different. He was indifferent, loyal, and determined. Otherwise, he would not have been willing to be inferior to Li Muyun and allow Li Muyun’s glory to be over his when he was about the same strength as him.
Such a person’s strength was now extremely profound. If he could stay in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, it would definitely be a great help. It would be very important for the Northern Region to fight against the invasion of the Land of Divine Grace in the future.
“Second Brother, are you leaving again?” Chen Sheng and the others tried to persuade him to stay.
Liang Feixue shook his head slightly and said, “I am now a member of the Sky Immortal Sect, and I need to deal with some business…” Speaking of this, he looked up at Ding Hao and said, “Now I know what has happened in the Land of Infinity. Senior Brother Ding, if you need anything, you can summon me at any time. I will definitely do my best to serve the sect.”
