Chapter 721 Unparalleled in the World
Li Mu ignored Huangfu Chengdao’s provocation and hurriedly drove the Seven Luminaries Divine Horse Battle Chariot to escape.
“Catch him.”
Huangfu Chengdao grinned viciously.
Seeing Li Yidao in dire straits, he couldn’t be happier.
A big flying shuttle and a small one followed closely behind Li Mu.
“Ha-ha, Li Yidao, you call yourself the top Heavenly Legend of the Star Regions. Why are you fleeing in such a panic? Why not come back and fight me?” Huangfu Chengdao laughed wildly and deliberately said those words to provoke Li Mu.
However, Li Mu was not a fool.
He steered the Seven Luminaries Divine Horse Battle Chariot and injected the primitive natural qi into it like crazy. The seven black heavenly horses galloped wildly through the sky like a ma.s.sive army on a march.
The pursuit lasted for about half an hour.
Huangfu Chengdao never expected that he would fail to catch up with Li Mu.
“What’s going on? I’ve seen Duan Shenping driving the Seven Luminaries Divine Horse Battle Chariot before. Its speed is definitely not as fast as it is traveling now. How could our flying shuttles fail to catch up with Li Mu?” He could not accept such a result.
Uncle Guan smiled and said, “The battle chariots of the Seven Luminaries Clan used to be quite famous in the Star Regions, but Duan Shenping failed to give full play to the true power of his battle chariot… Li Mu is not Duan Shenping, and he is very familiar with the terrain here, so it’s normal to lose track of him.”
Huangfu Chengdao hurriedly said, “What if Li Yidao escapes…?”
“Calm down and relax.” Uncle Guan glanced at him and said in an instructive tone, “Li Yidao was struck by the purple sword, and the Sword Qi entered his body. Under such conditions, he can’t get far. The faster the Seven Luminaries Divine Horse Battle Chariot travels, the more energy it will consume. The amount of light emitted by a candle is always limited, so there will be a moment when the candle burns down to the end. Li Yidao is nothing more than an arrow at the end of its flight now. He won’t survive.”
Huangfu Chengdao’s look grew serious. He hurriedly said sincerely, “Uncle Guan, you’re right.”
He felt that his mood had been unstable and he had been a little impetuous recently because of the Lady of the Clouds.
However, whenever he thought of his G.o.ddess holding Li Yidao’s arm, he could not control himself and felt like he was going to freak out.
Uncle Guan smiled without saying anything else.
He had been by Huangfu Chengdao’s side, so he had naturally seen everything clearly.
He believed that it was very normal for young people to make mistakes.
Huangfu Chengdao was a talented martial artist, but he was still a young man after all.
It was all right for young people to make mistakes.
Moreover, Huangfu Chengdao made a mistake because of a woman, so he deserved to be forgiven.
Only those who had pa.s.sed through mountains and rivers would know what mountains and rivers were like. When they looked back, they would not be infatuated or obsessed with mountains and rivers.
It was useless to try to talk sense into someone. One had to experience it in person before gaining a deep understanding.
“Li Yidao has less than one-tenth of his strength left. Everyone, spread out and hunt him down in this region.” Uncle Guan looked at the other tens of Heavenly Legends and said, “You are outstanding talents from different regions. Since you’ve chosen to pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Deity Clan, you should work hard and make contributions. Only then will you truly be of use to our clan.”
The Heavenly Legends echoed.
Huangfu Chengdao said, “My previous promise is still valid. I will offer a high reward to anyone who discovers the whereabouts of Li Yidao and become sworn brothers with anyone who kills Li Yidao.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the Heavenly Legends suddenly lit up.
“d.a.m.n it…”
Li Mu cursed, standing in a forest with towering old trees.
Feng Xingyun, the Nether Ghost, who was like a shadow, stared at Li Mu with a mocking smile on his face.
“Ha-ha, I didn’t expect to see you in such dire straits.” Feng Xingyun walked slowly toward Li Mu.
Obviously, there were many ambushers behind him.
Li Mu gritted his teeth.
The smile on the face of this number two Heavenly Legend was f*cking annoying. From the moment when they first met, Li Mu had always had the impulse to slap this smiling face and then trample on it hard.
“I have wanted to give you a chance to have a fair fight with me, but it’s a pity that you are a little disappointing.” Feng Xingyun walked slowly toward Li Mu. When he smiled, he bared his white teeth, which looked like two rows of daggers s.h.i.+ning with cold light. He said, “Huangfu Chengdao is really a good-for-nothing. He has let you escape and survive.”
Li Mu’s eyes glinted.
“It seems that Feng Xingyun knows that Huangfu Chengdao has been trying to hunt me down…
“Is it possible that Feng Xingyun has caused everything to happen by some unknown means?”
Feng Xingyun said, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to know what your face under the silvery mask looks like… It’s a good thing that you haven’t died by the hands of Huangfu Chengdao. Now I can kill you myself and let you know the consequences of offending me.”
Li Mu looked around and a.s.sessed the surrounding environment.
With his keen Divine Consciousness, he detected that there were people lying in ambush in all directions.
He realized that he was besieged.
Like a cunning hunter, Feng Xingyun set up a trap here.
Li Mu placed his palm on the handle of his broadsword.
The sword wound penetrating his left shoulder had stopped bleeding, but there was no sign of healing.
His face under the mask was a little pale, but his eyes were sharp and bright.
What made him anxious was not Feng Xingyun but the protectors behind Feng Xingyun.
Huangfu Chengdao’s protectors were fierce and powerful, and they had defeated Li Mu head-on. Feng Xingyun, who had been contending against Huangfu Chengdao for so many years, also came from a large clan, so his protectors must be very powerful.
“d.a.m.n it. These great powers and large clans are really annoying. Only children will tell their parents when they can’t defeat their opponents.”
Li Mu felt upset.
Others could ask their parents to help them when they lost, but he could only fight alone.
“Come on, Li Yidao. Let’s have a fair fight.” Feng Xingyun grinned mockingly. A long sword appeared in his hand.
He stared at the wound in Li Mu’s left shoulder, looking even more sarcastic and provocative.
Li Mu was already immune to his shamelessness.
Without waiting for Feng Xingyun to take action, Li Mu unsheathed the Samsara Knife and slashed at Feng Xingyun.
Feng Xingyun looked relaxed, but he didn’t dare to be careless. After all, Li Mu’s one-strike technique was well known for its power.
“The Demonic Lotus Sword… stays in the heart.”
As he shouted loudly, numerous demonic lotus flowers bloomed on the long sword in his hand. He created a Potential Realm and adopted a defensive posture to withstand the strike.
He was very confident that as long as he could withstand Li Yidao’s first strike, his Potential Realm would release its power, and he would get the upper hand over Li Yidao.
However, the knife light in front of him suddenly disappeared.
When he looked again, Li Yidao’s figure had turned into a phantom darting in the opposite direction.
“Is he fleeing?”
The thought flashed through Feng Xingyun’s mind. Then he snapped back to reality and roared angrily, “Stop him!”
A black shadow appeared in the distance with Sword Qi swirling around his hand and blocked Li Mu’s way.
The sword light engulfed Li Mu’s figure in an instant.
Feng Xingyun said angrily, “I’m really disappointed in you. Li Yidao, you coward! How could you run away? You…”
Before his voice faded away…
He suddenly had a feeling of impending doom, which he had never had before.
“d.a.m.n it.”
At this moment, Feng Xingyun hurriedly activated all of his defensive treasures and used the long sword, which was like a lotus flower turned upside down, to protect himself.
A streak of broadsword light appeared at an incredible angle in an incredible direction.
Boom!
The broadsword light shattered all the light s.h.i.+elds around Feng Xingyun.
He felt a chill down his temple.
A shadow pa.s.sed by him like a streak of light and rushed into the woods behind him. Then, there came a shrill cry.
“d.a.m.n it!”
The black shadow in the distance growled angrily and continued chasing.
Feng Xingyun stood there and touched his right temple. A lock of hair stained with blood fell off.
“Am I injured?”
He couldn’t believe it.
A lock of hair and a piece of scalp skin on his right temple had been cut off.
It was Li Yidao’s strike.
“How could that strike be so powerful?”
Feng Xingyun had lingering fears.
Had it not been for the fact that Li Yidao was injured and wanted to escape, Feng Xingyun would not have been able to survive if they fought head-on… He didn’t want to believe it, but he began to feel scared.
After a short while, the black shadow returned.
“Shadow Elder, how did it go? Did you catch up with him?” Feng Xingyun hurriedly asked.
The black shadow turned out to be master with ink-black smoke swirling around him. His face could not be seen clearly. He said, “I hit him with my sword, but he escaped.”
“What?” Feng Xingyun looked disappointed.
“How could he have escaped?
“Under such circ.u.mstances, Li Yidao is really lucky to have escaped.”
Feng Xingyun touched the would on his temple. The wound had healed, yet he felt shocked and angry.
Shadow Elder said, “Li Yidao is really formidable. His strength, ferocity, and scheming are unparalleled in the world. Obviously, he has long seen through the weakness of our ambush, which was right behind you. So he managed to attract my attention with illusions and fake images… Li Yidao is definitely a big threat. We must get rid of him. Fortunately, when he tried to escape just now, I hit him with my Black Shadow Demonic Sword. The Devil Qi has entered his body, so he won’t hold on for long. He’s worse than an arrow at the end of its flight now. If we continue hunting him down, we can surely kill him.”
Just then, the Heavenly Legends lying in ambush, who had taken the side of the Nether Ghost Clan, came out.
As for the six people lying in ambush behind Feng Xingyun, four were dead, and two were injured. Li Mu had broken through the area defended by them.
Feng Xingyun looked at them and said: “Search every corner! Find him at any cost!”
“Yes.”
The Heavenly Legends replied in unison.
Li Mu looked at the wound on his left arm, which looked as if it were stained with ink and began to fester.
The black shadow’s Sword Qi was toxic.
Li Mu tried to stop the development of his wound with Xiantian Skill.
Thanks to his special physique, he was not afraid of poisons.
“Huangfu Chengdao is an evil tiger, and Feng Xingyun is a vicious wolf… I’m really in a situation where there is a wolf in front of me and a tiger behind me.”
Li Mu stabilized his breath and walked through the mountains.
Feng Xingyun’s appearance gave him a reminder.
These two people were not the only ones that wanted to kill him. There were many others who wanted to kill him. For example…
Li Mu suddenly frowned and stopped.
He looked ahead.
A figure in a black robe was standing on an ancient pine in the distance and floating up and down along with the branches of the pine, looking as light as a feather. The figure blocked Li Mu’s way.
It was the Witchcraft Saint!
