Chapter 1052 The Second Future Leader
Lin Yuquan sealed the prison so that the people outside could not see or hear what was happening inside.
The process of killing Li Mu and obtaining the treasure of the Yun Family was confidential. The armored soldiers of the Thunderflame Clan outside were so numerous. Even the most trusted subordinates shouldn’t know about the process.
But now, the seal also became a trap for himself.
The power of the seal prevented him from escaping.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Heaven and Earth Rings rotated wildly like two large black millstones. They ground Lin Yuquan’s body into red powder, and his body dissipated in the void little by little. In the blink of an eye, only a small half of his body was left.
At this moment, he finally removed the seal on the prison.
“Save me, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice!”
Lin Yuquan howled loudly and fled madly in the direction of the hall of the Thunderflame Clan. His body was like a pool of blood mud, leaving a b.l.o.o.d.y mark flas.h.i.+ng with lightning in the sky, dyeing the void red. The scene was so scary.
The experts of the Thunderflame Clan outside the prison were all stunned when they saw this scene.
“Is Chief Lin being hunted down?”
“Has Chief Lin been defeated?”
“Is Chief Lin about to die?”
They were so curious.
They didn’t imagine this scene at all.
“The invincible Chief Lin of their clan is being hunted down like a dog by that intruder!”
The onlookers were speechless.
“Second Senior Fellow Apprentice?”
After hearing Lin Yuquan’s shouts several times, Li Mu immediately realized that there might be one more future leader of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain in the camp of the Thunderflame Clan.
“I can’t go after him!”
Li Mu made a quick decision.
The old faker and the Sword Savant had not shown up yet. No one knew what was happening. If things went on like this, Li Mu and the Yun Family would probably be in big trouble.
The Heaven and Earth Rings had frantically extracted True Energy from Li Mu’s body. Defeating Lin Yuquan had already reached the upper limit of his capability. If Li Mu continued to fight, he would be drained of his True Energy by the Heaven and Earth Rings before the other party took action.
After all, he had used an Emperor’s Weapon.
With his current cultivation, it was difficult to fully awaken the Emperor’s Weapon. Every time he used it, the True Energy in his body would be almost completely drained. Perhaps only when his cultivation reached the Emperor Realm could he fully revive the Heaven and Earth Rings, let them release real power, and control them freely.
“Hurry up. Let’s leave this place first.”
Li Mu returned to the cell and said to the Yun Family.
The elder looked at Li Mu with a complicated expression and said, “Thank you, your honor.”
Li Mu hurriedly interrupted her and said, “It is not the time to talk about this. Let’s leave here first. Or else, we can’t leave.”
With a stir of his mind, the giant broadsword in the fourth form of the G.o.dbreaker appeared.
Invisible True Energy carried the elder, Yun You’s wife, Yun Shuangyan, and Yun Shuangying on it. Li Mu rode on the broadsword, rose into the sky, and flew straight out of the camp of the Thunderflame Clan.
The broadsword light broke through the air like a dazzling golden meteor.
The experts of the Thunderflame Clan and the armored soldiers outside didn’t dare to stop them at all.
Now all the people of the entire camp of the Thunderflame Clan were scared out of their wits by Li Mu. The b.l.o.o.d.y scene of Lin Yuquan’s fleeing was too shocking for them. At this time, when they saw Li Mu appear, they were in a hurry to hide. How dare they intercept him?
“Ha… Do you think you can leave?”
A faint mocking voice sounded from the direction of the hall of the Thunderflame Clan.
Rumble!
The giant golden broadsword collided with the invisible seal.
Li Mu felt a trickle of blood at the corners of his mouth.
“Oh, no!”
His True Energy had been almost consumed by the Heaven and Earth Rings in the attack just now. At this time, he was barely able to ride on the broadsword. He couldn’t break through the s.h.i.+eld covering the camp of the Thunderflame Clan at all. After he collided with the s.h.i.+eld, his True Energy was in disorder, and he immediately suffered internal injuries.
The giant broadsword could no longer fly.
Li Mu and the others fell to the ground.
“I didn’t expect you to have an Emperor’s Weapon. I underestimated you.”
A figure covered in a black-robed appeared in the sky above the hall of the Thunderflame Clan and slowly walked over.
Lin Yuquan, who had fled frantically before, regained his complete body at this time. However, his face was pale, and his breath was weak. His eyes were full of shock as he stared at Li Mu. There was still a trace of hatred and jealousy hidden in the depths of his eyes, as well as a trace of fear.
It was an Emperor’s Weapon.
As one of the nine future leaders of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain, he had never possessed an Emperor’s Weapon before.
The Chief of the Inquisition actually had an Emperor’s Weapon, which almost caused Lin Yuquan to fail. Just thinking about the death aura that rolled over from the pair of rings made him shudder.
This was the power of an Emperor’s Weapon.
Lin Yuquan also came to his senses at this time.
Li Mu couldn’t completely revive the Emperor’s Weapon with his True Energy and cultivation. He could barely activate it just now. At this time, he had consumed most of his cultivation and couldn’t activate the Emperor’s Weapon for a second time in a short time.
This was the perfect opportunity to kill Li Mu and seize the treasure!
“You do have a lot of trump cards. But, unfortunately, your cultivation is still too weak to turn the tables.” The black-robed mysterious man stagnated in the void, and his tone was full of confidence and ridicule as he said, “Thank you for giving another Emperor’s Weapon to Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain! Ha…”
Li Mu steadied himself, took a deep breath, and asked, “Who are you?”
The black-robed smiled and lifted the black hood that had been covering his face.
Obviously, the person was from the Human Clan.
This man looked as if in his early twenties. He had delicate facial features, a devilishly handsome face, and an evil aura. In particular, the skin on his face was strange and light purple, and his eyes were extremely deep purple. They were like amber condensed from the purple nebula. They were deep and mysterious as if people’s souls would be sucked in at a glance and fall into his eyes.
“Bai Ruyun, the second future leader of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain.”
The black-robed said lightly.
Lin Yuquan’s heart skipped a beat.
He had basically never seen the face of his Second Senior Fellow Apprentice all these years.
There was a rumor in Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain that, except for the Master and the First Senior Fellow Apprentice, all the people who had seen the face of the Second Senior Fellow Apprentice had died.
Lin Yuquan lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at him again.
Li Mu said coldly, “It’s Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain again. Your sect is full of mad dogs. However, unless the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain doesn’t want to exist in this world again, you will all die if you fight against me.”
Li Mu said those words with great confidence, not bluffing.
Even if the Sanctuary of the Way and the Brotherhood of Swords didn’t take action, the old faker and Zhong Dajun would not turn a blind eye to it. With the two martial art emperors joining hands, Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain wouldn’t be a threat to them no matter how powerful it was.
“Ha… Young man, your way of thinking is naive.”
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Bai Ruyun’s purple face.
“I know you have several martial art Holy Lands and more than one martial art emperor supporting you. Your master once defeated a martial art emperor with one punch in the Ziwei Star Zone, but how could we not think about this before we decided to attack you? Have you ever thought about this problem? Huh? Ha…”
Li Mu slightly changed his look.
Bai Ruyun’s expression was indifferent. With sarcasm, he continued, “The world is far vaster than you can imagine. There are ten martial art Holy Lands and more than ten martial art emperors in the Human Clan. If you count the devil races, the Beast Race, the Feather Clan, and the other races, there are dozens of martial art Holy Lands and no less than fifty martial art emperors in the world. Do you think you can turn the world upside down with the power behind you?”
Li Mu had a bad feeling in his heart, but his expression was indifferent and calm, without any change. He said, “Although my background is not enough to dominate the world, it is enough to crush your Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain.”
“Ha… You are wrong again. In this world, people who break the balance are always hated and boycotted by various parties. Especially this person is from outside. Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain has existed in the Battlefield of Chaos for so many years. It has many allies. How long have you been in this world?” Bai Ruyun smiled with contempt and pity.
After hearing that, Li Mu suddenly burst into laughter.
“Since you’re so confident, why did you talk to me so much?”
He looked at Bai Ruyun.
Bai Ruyun was stunned for a moment and burst out laughing.
“Why? Ha… It’s the first time in so many years that I’ve met an interesting little guy like you. Don’t you want to waste time by talking so much nonsense? I want to satisfy you, little guy. Let’s see if the people you’re waiting for will show up and if you can awaken that Emperor’s Weapon again. In short, I always like to see a little guy who thinks he can break the deadlock from full of expectation to gradually despair.”
There was a kind of distorted cruelty in Bai Ruyun’s laughter.
Lin Yuquan felt a chill in his heart.
He knew since his Second Senior Fellow Apprentice had a little problem in his cultivation of the Cultivation Method of Way of Thunder that caused his skin to turn weird purple, his mentality had changed to be eccentric, moody, cruel, and violent. Even the other future leaders of the sect were very afraid of him.
In the Oststern, the small village’s appearance was changed by the disciples of Mount Shu.
The temporary residence had already been built.
The streets and roads began to be built. They formed a square shape. The people began to lay the foundation of some large buildings. The craftsmen from Lauffeuer had also been recruited and come in batches. The place was booming.
The old faker was sleeping on a lounge chair and basking in the sun.
He was holding a golden hen in his arms. He was petting it as if he were petting a cat or a dog. The hen’s golden feathers seemed to be made of pure gold, s.h.i.+ning brightly in the sun and looking extremely magical. It did not dare to move in the arms of the old faker.
Under the shade of a tree next to him, a huge white Samoyed dog was sitting on a stone chair, holding a smartphone with a big screen in its hand. Its front paws turned into human hands and were rubbing the screen crazily. It cursed from time to time!
“Woof. I lost again. Why are the computer characters so powerful now?”
Not long after, the Samoyed dog put down the phone and sighed in disappointment.
The old faker smiled mockingly.
At that moment, an armored soldier wearing the uniform of the Inquisition hurried over and handed him a letter.
After reading it, the old faker stood up and stretched himself.
“This little b.a.s.t.a.r.d is causing trouble again. As an elder, I can’t rest in peace at all.”
He put away the letter, kicked the Samoyed dog’s a.s.s, and said, “Let’s go and fight.”
The Samoyed dog became excited.
At this time, the old faker suddenly changed his face and looked up at the sky.
A streak of lightning came from a distance and ripped the blue sky apart.
