Chapter 586 Is This Wild Enough?
“h.e.l.l with you!
“How could you be my Second Senior Fellow Apprentice forever just because I called you once?”
Li Mu did not know what to say to the pig spirit.
“This is your master.” Li Mu pointed to the black-cloaked vendor and said, “It’s he who has kept that Primordial Stone with you inside the whole time. He is your benefactor. So, you should follow his lead.”
“Grunt, how can I, Old Zhu, follow a mediocre person who can’t even crack the crust?” The pig spirit snorted, extremely disdainful of the black-cloaked vendor. He then turned around and smiled ingratiatingly at Li Mu, saying, “Believe me, we are meant to be together.”
The black-cloaked vendor did not know what to say to that.
Even so, he was not angry.
The thing in that divine-level Primordial Stone that normal people couldn’t open was definitely extraordinary. Though this pig spirit didn’t seem to be very reliable, who could say for sure that he was just playing dumb?
After all, he was not an animal but a spirit.
Nevertheless, Li Mu was very fl.u.s.tered.
“We’re meant to be nothing.” Li Mu said, “As a straight man as unbending as iron, I and other men are never destined to be anything…”
The pig spirit grunted out of habit and remarked, “A straight man unbending as iron? What’s that? Could it be that you’re an iron spirit? It’s all right. If you are into women, I can gratify your needs.”
As he spoke, he turned into a charming young girl dressed in revealing clothes. The girl seductively said, “Sir, do you find me attractive?”
“What the f*ck!”
Li Mu almost let those words slip out.
“How repulsive!” Li Mu said, “When you transform, can you transform your fat belly, too?”
The pig spirit lowered his head only to see that his big belly had not changed at all. So, he looked just like a pregnant woman. Putting on a flattering smile, he quickly added, “Grunt, I haven’t transformed for years. Now I’m a little rusty at it.”
He put a hand on his belly and pressed hard, In a trice, his protruding belly was stuffed back. It was now flat and smooth with a small, round navel. But for some reason, the pig’s nose appeared again. Could you imagine the picture of a beautiful woman’s face suddenly sprouting out a pig’s nose?
Li Mu said, “You’d better go back and find your Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice and your Master. I really don’t dare to take you in.”
Next to him, Ding Yi’s face lit up instead.
“Sect Master, I figure it wouldn’t hurt to let him stay. You can make him transform into a horse and ride him,” Ding Yi suggested mindlessly.
The pig spirit immediately shouted, “No, you can’t. I’m also a man of honor. You can do me, but you can’t ride on me…”
Li Mu was speechless.
Ding Yi had no words for that, either.
It wouldn’t take a genius to find out that he was a clownish pig spirit.
At first, Li Mu already made up his mind to abandon the pig spirit. But for some reason, the pig spirit pestered Li Mu shamelessly. In the end, he directly rushed over and grabbed Li Mu’s thigh, refusing to let go.
At last, Li Mu simply had no way out.
The pig spirit’s strength was so strong that Li Mu couldn’t get rid of his grip.
“My friend, you may as well just accept him. Since ancient times, whoever releases a living creature from a divine-level Primordial Stone has a fateful connection with it. Since he is willing to follow you, perhaps this is something that is destined by the heavens,” spoke the black-cloaked vendor.
“Yes, yes, G.o.d has arranged all this. It’s truly destined.” The pig spirit nodded earnestly in a hurry.
Li Mu thought that it would not be good if they continued to argue like this.
At this time, the news about his deeds must have spread out from the Gold Town. He had made such a big ruckus as he planned. He had killed Zhou Changfa and his men. Now that he had also released a pig from the divine-level Primordial Stone, it was absolutely enough to cause a big sensation in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
If this thing dragged on any longer, he was afraid that all the a.s.sa.s.sins and bounty hunters would swarm over like sharks that had picked up the scent of blood.
It was time to run away.
“All right,” Li Mu agreed with resignation.
At once, the pig spirit was overjoyed.
Li Mu directly walked over, raised his broadsword, and cut off the head of the struggling and twitching stout merchant without mercy. Then, he gave him a body search and pocketed all of his storage instruments. Then, he did the same to the other disciples of the Gold Sun Sect and took their armors and weapons.
Seeing this scene, the pig spirit was also a little frightened.
“He’s so skilled. I can tell at a glance that he’s a habitual killer.”
After doing all this, Li Mu thought for a moment and then carved a few characters on a stone wall on the side of the market square with the goose-feather-shaped broadsword.
“They were killed by Li Mu, the Wild Broadsword.”
These words were filled with swirling, murderous Broadsword Intent. People felt as if a divine broadsword was coming at them at the sight of those words.
“That’s obvious enough, isn’t it?”
Li Mu considered for a while and added another remark.
“If you’re not afraid of death, try hunting me.”
That was followed by one more remark—
“By the way, the major sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region are all trash.”
After writing the main post and the following comments in succession, Li Mu felt that his “post” might soon be a hit, so he stopped writing and sheathed his broadsword with satisfaction.
“How is it?” Li Mu turned back and asked Ding Yi, “Is this wild enough?”
Ding Yi covered his forehead speechlessly.
However, the pig spirit jumped up and yelled, “Not enough, not enough. Let me add one more sentence…”
He leaped onto the top of the wall and used his nine-forked rake to unceremoniously carve another sentence on the wall.
“Grandsons, I am your big daddy.”
After he finished writing, he asked with satisfaction, “How is it?”
Li Mu frowned.
He recognized that the pig spirit had written in the language of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region prior to the mainstream era, which was just like the ancient Chinese characters written on the earth. Although those were not modern characters, Li Mu could understand the meaning.
But the problem was…
“It doesn’t make sense.” Ding Yi couldn’t help but point it out.
“Shouldn’t you say you’re the grandfather if you call them your grandsons?”
Still bemused, the pig spirit said, “What doesn’t make sense? You don’t understand. What we need is exactly this kind of wild momentum.”
Eventually, the two men and the pig, loaded with all kinds of treasures they had collected, waved goodbye to the people on the square.
When pa.s.sing by the little boy, as no one was watching, Li Mu flicked his fingers and quietly threw the two Reset Elixirs into the little boy’s palm.
These elixirs were among the things that Li Mu found from the stout merchant.
As expected, the merchants had quite a collection of this kind of elixir.
He could have given the boy the elixir in exchange for the young cub of the King Astral Origin Beast, but he had chosen to kill the boy and steal it from him. It could be seen that this merchant was really vicious to the extreme, and Li Mu murdering him actually did justice to him.
The little boy suddenly felt that there was something in his palm, which gave him quite a jump. When he looked down, he found that it was two Reset Elixirs. The fragrance of the medicine was rich and refres.h.i.+ng.
He was not dumb at all. Seeing the figures of Li Mu and the others disappear in the direction of the Teleportation Deployment in the distance, he immediately understood what was going on.
“Thank you,” the little boy muttered in his head.
Today, if it weren’t for Li Mu, he would have been killed by the stout merchant. His Flattop would have been slaughtered as well. The little boy was already very thankful for Li Mu’s help before. Now, he was even more grateful.
“I will definitely repay your favor.”
The little boy secretly vowed to himself.
In his arms, the cub of the King Astral Origin Beast called Flattop also sensed the little master’s mood. It looked at the direction in which Li Mu disappeared and let out a soft cry.
The Astral Origin Beasts were naturally revengeful, but being able to hold a grudge also meant that they wouldn’t forget other people’s kindness either.
Its big watery eyes were gleaming, and the affection toward Li Mu it felt was second only to that toward its little master.
“Let’s go to the Heavenly Meridian Region.”
From the center of the Star Posthouse in the distance came Li Mu’s laughter.
The Teleportation Deployment flashed.
Then, Li Mu, Ding Yi, and the pig spirit disappeared completely.
It was not until then that the people in the market square came to their senses, as though they had just woken up from a dream.
Surprisingly, Li Mu, the Wild Broadsword, did not murder them. But when they thought about it carefully, they found that it made sense. After all, Li Mu had even left those provoking words on the stone wall. Such an arrogant and wild person would not kill them. It seemed that he was eager to let everyone learn what he had done.
From this point of view, the Wild Broadsword was not a crazy man.
But some people knew that they were in trouble.
Today, they were forced to get involved in a storm. If they were not careful, they might die a violent death. After all, the Gold Sun Sect was not a golden-hearted sect. If they were enraged, they might kill all the people.
Therefore, they realized that they must quickly pack up their things and get out of this troublesome Gold Town as soon as possible.
The old Taoist picked up his banner with a wretched smile.
“Amitayus… I told you that a great event would happen today. Now, do you believe me? Run, everyone. We can’t stay here. However, after you get out, please spread the words that I’m a great fortuneteller. I can calculate the future. And I know everything that has happened and is to come. I can help you seize good luck and avert a bad one. And I only charge a silver-colored fairy crystal at a time. The price is quite fair…”
As he spoke, he started to run flat-out in a hurry.
All of a sudden, the square was in a hubbub.
The little boy also took the opportunity to leave with his pet in his arms.
The black-cloaked vendor stood rooted to the ground, lost in thought.
“The ancient characters have all appeared. A storm is drawing on.”
His voice was no longer like the sound of rusty iron rubbing against each other, but as melodious as a large bead falling on a jade plate. There was some underlying meaning in his tone.
As soon as he said that, a cloud of starlight swirled behind him.
The next moment, the void melted, and the dark universe suddenly appeared. He took a step back into the universe. Then, his body merged with the void and disappeared. After that, the void returned to normal.
However, no one noticed that.
The Heavenly Meridian Region was a relatively rich area in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. It contained four upper-cla.s.s stars in total. The population there was large, and it was much more developed than those remote areas like the Gold Town.
Through the Teleportation Deployment in Gold Town, Li Mu and the other two were delivered to a planet called Tian Chen in the Heavenly Meridian Region.
The Tian Chen Star was vast and rich in resources. The martial arts civilization there was highly developed.
When Li Mu came out of the Teleportation Deployment, he was very much taken aback.
Outside the deployment was a forest of high-rise buildings.
Everything was totally different from the beautiful, picturesque scene in Li Mu’s imagination.
In the sky, never-ending flying shuttles zoomed in all directions.
In addition to the different architectural styles, everything else on that planet was just like the future world described in the science fiction movies on Earth. The buildings were thousands of meters high. And there were all kinds of commercial signs s.h.i.+ning with strange lights. The huge projection screen was like an electronic screen on Earth, which kept flas.h.i.+ng, as though it was an advertis.e.m.e.nt. Above his head, many small mountains and pavilions were floating in the void.
A specific pa.s.sage had been established in the air. Like cars on the high road, all types of flying transportation were moving back and forth in an orderly manner.
Li Mu even saw a device that seemed to be the traffic light, which was used to adjust and sort out the traffic.
It was a fantasy version of modern civilization.
At that moment, Li Mu was profoundly shocked.
This was what a real martial arts civilization should look like.
Li Mu felt as amazed as the Granny Liu in A Dream in Red Mansion was when she first visited the Grand View Garden.
