Chapter 788 Who Wants to Compete
Swis.h.!.+
The blow darts shot by the green garbed dwarfs with their pot-like hairstyle flashed with vivid colors. Unexpectedly, these strange darts managed to bypa.s.s some of the force fields set up by Li Mu and hit him.
It was the first time that someone had managed to break through Li Mu’s defense in this battle.
At the same time, the stone spear shot from behind slammed heavily into the middle of Li Mu’s back.
The dwarfs cheered merrily.
A slim and exotic girl appeared and pranced about excitedly, her plump b.r.e.a.s.t.s jiggling with her action. She was dressed in a skirt made from leaves and a s.h.i.+rt made of animal leather and her wheat-colored skin glowed with health.
The green dwarfs surrounded her and cheered mightily.
A jet-black leopard jumped out of the void and bore the girl over to Li Mu at a distance of about 10 meters.
The girl’s face was solemn as she gazed at Li Mu in awe.
Lu Xun, Tang Tian, Song Youyan, and the others in the scenic area of Mogao Cave were all scared out of their wits when they saw that Li Mu had been hit.
However, the stupid Husky didn’t even look at him. It was still having fun with a dozen of Snow Werewolves.
Li Mu looked down at the green arrows embedded in his body.
These arrows looked like native weapons from the primeval forest of the Wide South Continent. They were roughly hewn from tree branches, were crude and primitive, and at most had an anesthetic or toxic effect.
Although he did not deliberately set up any defense, he was still a little surprised that someone on Earth could shoot weapons at him.
The beautiful girl in front of him was still saying something in her native language.
She had a hallowed expression on her face as if she was an eminent monk who had suppressed demons and monsters.
Although Li Mu couldn’t understand what she was speaking, he could vaguely guess the gist, which was for him to put down the knife and become like Buddha.
It seemed that there was some misunderstanding.
Li Mu reached out his hand to pull out a blow arrow from his back and observed it carefully.
The reason why he didn’t kill her was that Li Mu didn’t feel the same secular killing intention and impurities emanating from her, unlike the ones from the archbishops, Tiger group leader Marshall, and the third leader of the Demon Coalition. Instead, she had an air of innocence, much like an unpolished piece of jade.
The girl dressed in the primitive leather and gra.s.s attire gave off such a sense of innocence.
“Hu sa ba la, la si ba li...” The girl was still saying something vehemently.
Li Mu smiled and raised his hand and knocked her out.
The cheering green dwarfs were all stunned when they saw this. They were a little confused and couldn’t understand why the person who had been stabbed by their “divine arrows” could still fight back and even knock the princess out instantly.
“Wah...” the dwarfs roared as they rushed toward Li Mu with short-handled wooden sabers.
With a flick of Li Mu’s finger, several gusts of wind blew over, knocking out all the dwarfs beside the native girl.
Li Mu did not kill her.
These green dwarfs with pot-like hairstyles were not some evil creatures.
On the contrary, he sensed a kind of natural aura of elves which was known as the energy fluctuation of spirit core in the words of Star River Martial Arts.
Li Mu’s intuition had always been accurate.
This time, he supposed that they came into Dunhuang due to some misunderstanding.
“Stop playing,” Li Mu ordered, as he looked at the Husky.
“Woof,” the Husky replied. It then knocked out the transformed Snow Werewolves, one at a time.
“These little wolves may be the same breed as me, so don’t kill them yet. I’m going to Snow Wolf Lake to look for them.” Husky pinched its chin with one hand and said with a longing smile, “After all, as a well-known dog, I need a group of followers.”
“Do as you wish,” Li Mu said. He looked around with his third eye and confirmed that there were no enemies left.
The battle came to an end.
He pulled out more than a dozen arrows from his body and scrutinized them. He found that these arrows and short knives were all made of the same kind of wood. It was the special Spiritual Qi that broke through his defense.
Li Mu’s interest in Divine Wood was aroused.
“Bring these people back to the Martial Alliance branch,” Li Mu said as he pointed at the primitive girl and green dwarfs.
Tang Tian and the others came out of the gate of the scenic area and took all the captives to the car.
“If it were not for your skin, you would have died long ago,” Saint Changchun said angrily. He took away the Spiritual Energy Gun that belonged to Su Cuo and held it in his hand.
Su Cuo and others were standing opposite Saint Changchun. She was injured but still managed to stand with the help of Fan Zu’ang
“How dare you attack the soldiers?” Fan Zu’ang sneered and said, “You’d better understand what you’re doing.”
Saint Changchu said grimly “I have said that the world has changed. For the present, it is no longer the army that defends the country and power, but elites of Martial Art. Your era has come to an end. Not to mention an attack, what can you do to me if I kill you? Who would dare to punish me?”
The cultivators behind him also burst into laughter.
Since the era of cultivation arrived, people with evil intentions and bad morality had all emerged, leaving the world in a mess.
Many ordinary people or people in Wulin, failed to cultivate the same state of mind that matched the great power they gained. Their mentality had expanded and Saint Changchun was a typical example.
The soldiers had already prepared their cannons, guns and other weapons.
The special forces soldiers who followed Su Cuo aimed all kinds of spiritual weapons at Saint Changchun’s people.
Su Cuo’s beautiful face clouded over with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll count to three. Get out of my way immediately. We don’t want to kill compatriots. I am duty-bound to save people in Mogao Caves today, no matter what you say.”
She was not afraid of Saint Changchun and his people.
She did not want to provoke them unless she had to. Otherwise, Hero Country would be doomed eternally. It was also one of the reasons why she suppressed her anger and had been trapped here for such a long time, as she knew that Li Mu would be in danger even if he came out of the Mogao Caves.
“Ha ha, go ahead and count. It’s useless even if you count to ten,” Saint Changchun guffawed. He didn’t take her seriously at all.
Since he dared to come, he was already prepared. How could he be afraid of these soldiers? He even had a backup plan.
“One...” Su Cuo began to count.
Saint Changchun intervened directly, “Two... Three, ha ha. Alright, I’ve counted to three. Now, Shoot. Do you want to save Li Mu? To be honest, he might be dead already. Even if you save him, his death is inevitable. Why bother wasting your time?”
“Why?” A voice asked.
Saint Changchun sneered subconsciously, “Because someone wants him dead. Even if he walks out of the Mogao Cave alive, he’ll be killed as well...”
Hardly had he said these words when he noticed that there was something amiss about the voice that asked the question from the back. He suddenly turned around and saw a group of people walking toward him, led by a young man dressed in white Li Ning sportswear.
“Hmm, wait, who are you?” Saint Changchu asked.
“Li Mu!” Su Cuo shouted in surprise, answering his question.
Li Mu was in a good mood when he saw old friends, especially Su Cuo, a fellow countryman brought back from the Heavenly Land by him. He came to Su Cuo and greeted her warmly.
Then, he greeted Fan Zu’ang and said, “What’s going on with the tense situation at the gate of the military camp?”
Fan Zu’ang gave him a rough outline of the situation.
Li Mu bantered, “When did the military’s disposition become so mild?”
“We are facing intractable problems. This Saint Changchun serves in the Cultivation a.s.sociation as...” Fan Zu’ang wanted to remind Li Mu of his background.
Li Mu waved his hand and interrupted him.
“Just forget it. There’s no need to mention it. I will resolve the problem for you,” Li Mu said.
Li Mu walked over to Saint Changchu and his group.
The gang had finally realized what was going on.
“So you are Li Mu. Ha ha, you are really lucky to have escaped from h.e.l.l,” Saint Changchu said as he looked at Li Mu. He was not afraid of Li Mu. Instead, he was eager to compete with him and said, “I heard that you are very powerful and known as the G.o.d of Martial Arts. Why don’t we have a compet.i.tion?”
He had heard all sorts of legends about Li Mu, which sparked his curiosity and compet.i.tive spirit.
This kind of mentality was easily understood.
That was complacency.
Li Mu laughed and said, “Okay.”
He took out a broadsword which was neither the Samsara Knife nor the Four-edged Monster Broadsword.
It was just an ordinary long saber.
Hhe didn’t want to end the Saint’s life with a Dragon-slaying Saber, the same as you would not shoot a b.u.t.terfly with a rifle.
But Saint Changchu smiled for he felt little energy fluctuation from Li Mu.
To defeat Li Mu was obviously a good opportunity to make a name for himself.
When he was about to fight, a young man in his mid-20s next to him, wearing a cyan robe, took a preemptive step and walked to Li Mu. With a Longquan Sword hanging around his waist, he said, “I’m Li Meng from the Longquan Villa. I heard that you are known as the G.o.d of War. I’d like to take this rare opportunity to learn from you...”
“No problem,” Li Mu smiled and walked forward. He slashed his knife casually on Li Meng’s shoulder, and soon his body was cut into two halves.
The whole process happened in an instant.
Li Meng had been split like a wooden stake.
The crowds were struck dumb at this. They failed to understand why Li Meng could be knocked down by a single-blade strike without even attempting to dodge, not to mention the extraordinary strength he had. The two halves of his body twitched convulsively, covered in blood and he died on the spot.
“You... you killed him?” A haughty woman dressed in black reproached him. She was frightened by the pungent smell of blood.
She pointed at Li Mu and said, “Don’t... don’t you know who he is? He is the young master of Longquan Villa, you have made a great mistake. You are doomed. No one can save you.”
“Longquan Villa?” Li Mu asked rhetorically. He nodded and said to Lu Xun in the distance, “Write down the name of this villa.”
Then, he waved his hand and asked, “Anyone else?”
