Chapter 688 Giant Green Fox Demon
A broadsword manual?
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe was really going all out to please Li Mu by giving him exactly what he wanted.
A broadsword manual, especially one from a great power in the Star River, was surely a precious guidebook containing real legendary broadsword-using methods. It was absolutely attractive to Li Mu and even more attractive than the previous three treasures.
Li Mu turned his head to look.
There were two remaining young girls of the Green Fox Tribe, each with a jade plate in their hands. On the fifth jade plate, there was a token in the cla.s.sic shape of a leaping Green Fox. On the sixth jade plate, there was a strange blue metal pellet, which was similar to but a little larger than the Broadsword Pellet and the Armor Pill. It was as big as a child’s fist.
Li Mu had no idea what those things were, but he guessed that they must be valuable.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe explained with a smile. “The Green Fox Token is the token of Keqing-Coach of our tribe. Anyone who has it can mobilize the Green Fox Tribe’s blue-armor pract.i.tioner squads stationed in various places. As for the blue s.p.a.ce Shuttle Pellet, when it is activated by its owner, it can be transform into a small s.p.a.ce shuttle, which can be operated by one person to travel through the void of the universe at an unparalleled speed.”
Upon hearing that, Li Mu was awed.
These six items were supreme treasures that could even intrigue kings.
It was very generous of the young master of the Green Fox Tribe to show Li Mu all the supreme treasures and let him choose one.
Was this the common practice of the real tyc.o.o.ns in the Ziwei Star Zone?
It was a little extravagant.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe said, “Mr. Li, you have brought Bi Yan back from the Baiyu Dynasty, so you are the benefactor of the Green Fox Tribe. Therefore, these six treasures, along with these six beauties, will be yours from now on. Please accept my humble gifts.”
Looking at the six jade plates, Li Mu was a little intrigued.
But soon, he suddenly realized something. He stood up and looked at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
The latter smiled.
Li Mu shook his head, and in a firm tone and word by word, he said, “I want to see Bi Yan right now and right away.”
The look on the face of the young master of the Green Fox Tribe changed.
“Has Li Yidao found out that I am stalling for time? Although he comes from a remote and desolate place, it is not that easy to fool him.”
Li Mu said, “I don’t know what you mean by making such an arrangement, but it has been about a quarter hour since the man named Min Chenzi left. My patience is limited, so you’d better not do anything that makes me angry. I’m afraid that I will lose control of myself. You think that the Green Fox Tribe is strong enough to have an upper hand over me, but I believe I have something beyond your control. Therefore, neither of us should gamble. Put these gifts away. I saved Bi Yan because she is my friend, but not for your so-called gifts.”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly. “Mr. Li, it seems that you have a strong prejudice against me.”
Li Mu got up and walked toward the door of the hall, saying, “It has nothing to do with prejudice. It’s all about facts.”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe shook his head helplessly and followed. He said, “Ha ha, it’s rare for you to treasure friends.h.i.+p and loyalty so much. Please come with me. When you see Bi Yan, you will know that she is really safe.”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe led the way through several winding corridors. Finally, they came to the gate of a private house in the main mansion.
“She’s inside.”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe had the door opened by the armored guards standing on both sides of the gate and then walked into the courtyard.
Li Mu followed closely behind him.
The private house had a small courtyard. There were artificial hills and small ponds, through which streams were meandering, and strange trees and plants. The things in the courtyard were well-s.p.a.ced with charming effect compatible with the rhythm of nature.
Several exquisite log cabins and wood pavilions stood in the middle of the courtyard.
Min Chenzi was standing at the door of a log cabin. He looked surprised when he saw the young master of the Green Fox Tribe and Li Mu coming in.
He came up, bowed, and said, “Young master, Miss Bi Yan’s condition is not stable yet. However, she should be able to come out soon. Should we wait a little longer?”
The last sentence was for Li Mu.
Li Mu ignored him and strode toward the log cabin.
“Stop.”
The two armored fox girls standing at the door of the cabin reached out their arms to stop him.
Li Mu took a step forward.
The two fox girls groaned, and their faces turned pale. They took a few steps back before they regained their footing.
They felt that the pressure from the young man wearing a silvery faceless mask was amazingly strong. They looked shocked and angry as they reached out their hands to draw the swords from their waists.
“Stop.”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe hurriedly walked over.
“Mr. Li, I know that you are concerned about Miss Bi Yan’s safety, but this is a critical moment. If you rashly barged in and interrupted Miss Bi Yan’s evolution, she would go berserk, and all of her efforts would go down the drain. That would be a huge loss for her.” The young master of the Green Fox Tribe said earnestly, “It will take Miss Bi Yan at most an hour to come out.”
Without looking at him, Li Mu walked straight toward the log cabin.
He had already seen something with his Third Eye.
He had to get in.
“This…” Min Chenzi looked at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
The smile on the face of the young master of the Green Fox Tribe gradually disappeared.
As the master of a large tribe and a super Heavenly Legend among the top ten on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions, he could usually be courteous to talents and kind to many people, but this didn’t mean that he could always be so polite and humble.
He had his own pride and temper.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe looked at Li Mu quietly.
Li Mu came to the door of the log cabin. The moment he reached out to push the door open, a beam of sword light suddenly flashed and came straight at his face.
The voice of an elder came from the other side of the door. “No way.”
Li Mu grabbed the handle of the Samsara Knife.
He drew his knife.
A flash of broadsword light instantly shattered the beam of sword light.
He continued walking toward the door of the log cabin.
“How dare you!”
The voice rang out again, full of anger.
Another disordered beam of sword light burst out from behind the door like flowing silver and splas.h.i.+ng jade fragments.
The man behind the door was a strong swordsman.
At least he was at the peak of the General Realm.
Li Mu’s eyes flashed with anger. He activated the “Power of White Bones” in his right arm, and his right hand holding the handle of the knife instantly turned into white bones. With a flash, he cut the violent, disordered beam of word light and the s.p.a.ce behind the door into two halves…
“Um?”
Having seen this slash, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe was slightly shocked.
By this time, Li Mu had rushed into the log cabin.
“Back off!”
“You’re looking for trouble.”
The voices of two elders rang out at almost the same time.
The light was dim in the log cabin.
Two beams of sword light burst out from the darkness like two silver snakes dancing wildly, flying towards Li Mu from both sides in a united manner.
Li Mu froze for a moment.
“Is there another king in this cabin?”
The elder who shot out the beam of sword light just now was a half-step king. Li Mu knew that, so he directly activated the Power of White Bones in his right arm.
However, he did not expect that there would be another half-step king hidden in the log cabin.
Before the beam of sword light flashed, he didn’t sense the aura of the second king at all.
Moreover, these two half-step kings cooperated with each other very well. The flas.h.i.+ng light beams of the swords in their hands mingled harmoniously. Li Mu felt that the scene in front of him had changed in an instant. The log cabin and the dim light had vanished. Instead, there were only a vast, boundless desert with flying sands, smoke and dust all over the sky, and tornado vortices looking like ferocious dragons…
The Potential Realm!
The Desert Potential Realm!
This was the power of the Potential Realm of masters in the King Realm.
Li Mu already saw the power of a Potential Realm when he fought against Dongmen Chuixue, so he would not underestimate it. Moreover, he had experience in coping with situations involving Potential Realms. He snorted and activated the power of his white-bone right arm. Silvery light swirled around the handle of the Samsara Knife.
The Samsara Knife flashed.
The desert with flying sands in front of him was instantly shattered.
Two m.u.f.fled groans were heard.
Two figures with white hair and beard flew out of the log cabin and fell to the ground with two thuds.
“What?”
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe looked shocked.
“Elders.” Min Chenzi immediately rushed over.
The two persons with white hair and beard got back on their feet swiftly. They were two very old men with silvery-white hair and beard. When the young master of the Green Fox Tribe came here that day, they showed up and were entrusted with an important task of guarding the courtyard and this log cabin.
They still wanted to rush into the log cabin and drive Li Yidao out.
“Forget it,” the young master of the Green Fox Tribe suddenly spoke.
The two elders of the Green Fox Tribe turned around in surprise.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe said, “Let him go. Maybe it’s not a bad thing.”
Min Chenzi also turned around and looked at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe in surprise.
However, neither he nor the two elders dared to object to the master’s decision.
In the log cabin.
Li Mu sheathed his broadsword.
He scanned the s.p.a.ce inside the cabin with his Divine Consciousness and soon confirmed that there were no more guards of the Green Fox Tribe.
“Where is Bi Yan?”
Li Mu looked around, but he didn’t see Bi Yan.
He walked up the stairs to the second floor.
There was a blue light gate above the top of the three-fold staircase.
As Li Mu walked through the gate, he felt that the scene in front of him changed instantly, and a strange green s.p.a.ce appeared in front of him.
A s.p.a.ce boundary?!
This was not something beyond Li Mu’s expectation.
What was beyond Li Mu’s expectation was that he did not see the little fox girl, Bi Yan, but instead he saw… a giant green fox with nine tails, which gave off an aura of incomparable ruthlessness and brutality. Its body was as huge as a small hill. It crouched in the depths of this strange s.p.a.ce filled with a strong demonic aura!
Li Mu’s pupils suddenly shrank.
He vaguely sensed a familiar aura.
“Is this giant nine-tailed green fox the little fox girl, Bi Yan?”
Li Mu suddenly understood what the young master of the Green Fox Tribe meant by saying those words.
It seemed that the little fox girl was practicing and trying to break through some shackles. However, the body of the giant nine-tailed fox was really huge. The demonic aura that filled the entire bounded s.p.a.ce was comparable to that of a king…
“What on earth has happened?
“How could the little fox girl have reached such a cultivation level?
“Wait, something’s not right…”
Li Mu scanned the giant nine-tailed green fox with his Third Eye and found something strange.
Around the body of the giant nine-tailed green fox, there were many blood-red chains that were invisible to the naked eye. Only the Third Eye could see them. On closer inspection, Li Mu found that each chain was actually made up of mysterious ancient scarlet runes. With these chains wrapped around its body, the nine-tailed green fox was unable to struggle or break free.
They were the bloodline chains!
Li Mu immediately understood.
The young fox girl, Bi Yan, was actually going through an atavistic transformation to forcefully break through the shackles of her bloodline and restore the purity of her bloodline to the same extent as her ancestors… For the devil races, atavistic transformation would greatly increase their power. As long as they could go through this process, they would acquire the remarkable skills of their ancestors.
