At first, Li Mu wanted to protect not only Ying Yuanyuan and Liao Bi’ting, but also the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe, as well as over a dozen Heavenly Legends who took the side of the Green Fox Tribe.
Li Mu seemed to be an unreasonable, obstinate and self-opinionated person who made things difficult for the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe. In fact, however, he did so for two purposes. On the one hand, he could test the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe in this way. On the other hand, he wanted to use the countless Resentful Spirits slumbering underground in this disguised land of death as his final trump card.
This trump card was basically unrivaled in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.
He could protect all of his friends with good intentions and loyalty by activating the power of the Death Qi of the Ghost Rally Star.
However, he had never expected that he would be deceived by the exquisite pretending skills of the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
They deceived not only him, but also the Green Fox G.o.d, Bi Yan.
Their sudden betrayal and plot spoiled Li Mu’s original plan.
Moreover, if the young master of the Green Fox Tribe had not stabbed him with the imitation of the G.o.d-slaying Cone, which suppressed his physical strength and natural qi, he could at least save Liao Bi’ting even if he could not save the Green Fox G.o.d, Bi Yan.
However, one of them was dead, and the other was injured.
Li Mu was like a powder keg with ignited fuse.
There was nowhere to vent his anger.
He had to vent his anger.
Using the Death Qi of the Ghost Rally Star as a medium, he created a tactical deployment of the Ghost Rally Star on the ground to protect Liao Bi’ting and Ying Yuanyuan.
Then, he slowly stood up holding the Samsara Knife in his hand.
His body was covered with wounds and cuts, and blood was oozing from his wounds.
He did not feel pain at all.
He opened his Third Eye. Through the crowd of white-bone Resentful Spirits, he fixed his eyes on Feng Xingyun, Huangfu Chengdao, the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe, and the others who were struggling desperately and roaring in panic in the sea of Resentful Spirits.
“It will be too easy for you if you die at the hands of the white-bone Resentful Spirits.”
With Death Qi swirling around him, Li Mu turned into a phantom and merged into the sea of white-bone Resentful Spirit.
In such an environment, even the pract.i.tioners in the King Realm like Guan Zhen, Shadow Elder, and the chief of the Green Fox Tribe were unable to see things more than one hundred meters away, as if they had fallen into the dark sea.
However, with his Third Eye and Death Qi, Li Mu was like a fish in water.
Holding the Samsara Knife in his hand, he carefully searched for and approached his prey like a wild shark hunting in the deep sea.
“d.a.m.n it! We have to get out of here!”
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe was shocked and angry.
He tried his best to activate a blue eyeball floating above his head, forming a blue s.h.i.+eld to protect himself and his son.
That was his final trump card after his several protective treasures were broken in a row.
Countless white-bone Resentful Spirits were madly charging at the blue protective s.h.i.+eld, and when they collided against it, they were burnt and melted. However, more white-bone Resentful Spirits rushed over without regard for their lives.
It was a very strange phenomenon.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe, Guan Zhen, Shadow Elder, and the others were capable of killing the white-bone Resentful Spirits.
They could use some methods to wipe out a large number of Resentful Spirits in an instant.
However, the problem was that no matter how powerful they were and how many white-bone Resentful Spirits they could kill, those Resentful Spirits were simply not afraid of them.
Li Mu did not kill many white-bone Resentful Spirits after he activated the power of Death Qi and Yin Qi, but the white-bone Resentful Spirits were extremely afraid of him. They dared not get close to him, just like mice that were naturally afraid of cats.
He wandered in the sea of white-bone Resentful Spirits for a while and finally fixed his eyes on the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
Li Mu hated those two persons to the core.
He approached them quietly, got close enough to them, and suddenly slashed at them with his Samsara Knife.
Boom!
Cracks appeared on the blue light s.h.i.+eld.
The blue light s.h.i.+eld vibrated violently. Through the light s.h.i.+eld, the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe saw Li Yidao, who was among the white-bone Resentful Spirits outside the s.h.i.+eld, remaining unscathed and sneering at them with killing intent.
Li Yidao had taken off his mask, and his face looked a little unfamiliar to them.
The deep-rooted, crazy hatred and killing intent on that face made them tremble with fear.
“Why don’t the white-bone Resentful Spirits attack Li Yidao?”
They couldn’t understand what they saw.
“You... Li Yidao, what are you going to do?”
Seeing Li Mu slowly raising his broadsword again, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe cried out.
He felt a chill rising uncontrollably from the tailbone to the back of his head along the spine, almost lifting off his skull.
Li Mu answered his question with practical actions.
The broadsword struck the blue light s.h.i.+eld hard.
Click! Click!
After Li Mu hacked the blue light s.h.i.+eld with violent physical force, more white cracks appeared and propagated on the s.h.i.+eld. The protective s.h.i.+eld looked like it would break at any time.
“No... No, don’t do that.”
Overwhelmed by extreme fear, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe cried out in horror.
He could imagine what would happen if the s.h.i.+eld broke.
Li Mu ignored him.
He thrust his broadsword again.
Click!
There came a crisp sound like that of gla.s.s breaking.
At this moment, even the chief of the Green Fox Tribe was a little fl.u.s.tered.
Previously, the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe were seriously injured when they tried to play tricks and deceive the Green Fox G.o.d. They were really injured, and they were not pretending to be wounded. Therefore, their strengths were damaged, and they hadn’t recovered from injury completely. It was already a little difficult for them to resist the attacks of the white-bone Resentful Spirits.
Even the chief of the Green Fox Tribe, a master in the King Realm, had to go all out to hold on.
However, Li Mu was a killer now. Once he broke the s.h.i.+eld, the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe would be in great danger.
“Li Yidao, we can talk. Do not attack.” The face of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe turned green.
He and his son had never expected that Li Yidao, who was like a turtle in a jar, would turn the tables in this way.
Now, they had to beg him.
Li Mu sneered and said, “It’s impossible for me to talk to you. Both of you are going to die.”
He thrust his broadsword for the third time.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d... Go to h.e.l.l!”
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe raised his hand, and a streak of blue light shot out.
It was a blue fox tooth, a treasure that used to be enshrined in the Green Fox Temple and had great lethality.
Li Mu blocked the attack with the Samsara Knife.
He was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
But that was all.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe, who was still struggling like a trapped animal, wanted to kill Li Mu through the s.h.i.+eld, but that was just a wish.
Li Mu soon flew back and struck the blue light s.h.i.+eld with his broadsword.
More white cracks visible to the naked eye appeared on the s.h.i.+eld.
“Wait! Hold on. Li Yidao, we can discuss everything...” The chief of the Green Fox Tribe pleaded loudly. “You can have whatever you want, but don’t attack. I’m willing to pay any price.”
He was afraid.
He gave in.
Li Mu said, “Tell those who are going to the Green Fox Temple to hurt Bi Yan to stop and retreat. Can you do it?”
“This...” The chief of the Green Fox Tribe said, “This matter is beyond my control. Moreover, my connections with the outside world have been cut off. It’s... probably too late now.”
“It’s too late!” Li Mu wielded his broadsword and struck the blue light s.h.i.+eld, which caved in. It was a shocking scene. He said, “Then, go to h.e.l.l.”
“Ah, ah, ah, no! Li Yidao, what on earth do you want?” The young master of the Green Fox Tribe screamed, “We can discuss anything. Let us go. I am willing to be your slave at your disposal for the rest of my life. You can do whatever you want to me. Let me go. I don’t want to die.”
Being on the verge of a nervous breakdown, he had completely given up his dignity.
Li Mu slowly withdrew his broadsword.
There was a cruel look in his eyes. He said, “You want to live? Well, you can live if you kill the person beside you. Only one of you can live. You can choose for yourselves.”
The chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe were both dumbfounded.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe said angrily, “Li Yidao, how can you sow discord between us in such a despicable way? We are father and son. Blood is thicker than water. Your trick won’t work out. You...”
Before his voice faded away, a long sword pierced through his chest. His expression suddenly froze.
Holding the handle of the sword, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe looked pale and a little crazy, but he roared wildly. Facing his father’s shocked look, he seemed to be defending himself. “I’m sorry, Father. I’m sorry, but I want to live on. I’m still young. I don’t want to die...”
“You... I... I’m your father, your father! How can you do this to me, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d?” The chief of the Green Fox Tribe looked at his son in disbelief. He was overwhelmed with indescribable grief and rage.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe roared furiously, “Since you are my father, you ought to die for me! Die for me! I can live only if you die.”
He drew his long sword and stabbed his father again.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe could no longer endure it.
Out of rage and despair, he took action. He struck the young master of the Green Fox Tribe in the head with his palm. With the power of a master in the King Realm, he instantly killed the young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
The lifeless body flew out of the blue light s.h.i.+eld, which was almost shattered. The white-bone Resentful Spirit outside the s.h.i.+eld immediately rushed over and gnawed the body, which finally turned into pieces of white bones that fell from the sky.
Li Mu watched coldly.
“Li Yidao, you are so vicious.” The chief of the Green Fox Tribe stared fiercely at Li Mu.
There was no expression on Li Mu’s face. He said, “How does it feel to be betrayed and plotted against?”
“Humph! Cut the c.r.a.p. You said that the one who killed the person beside him would live. I have killed my son. Li Yidao, you are a man of honor. You should keep your word. Hurry up and help me,” said the chief of the Green Fox Tribe in a different tone with an anxious look on his face.
Upon hearing that, Li Mu burst into laughter.
His laughter was tinged with taunt, ridicule, contempt, and disdain.
The face of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe suddenly changed. He said, “Are you... going to go back on your word?”
Li Mu nodded matter-of-factly and said, “Why not? You and your son said that you would protect the Green Fox G.o.d, regard Bi Yan as the G.o.d of your tribe, and follow all the orders given by her. However, you betrayed her in the end, didn’t you? You said I am a man of honor. Hah, how ridiculous! You are such a faithless person. How dare you say such words to me? Just now, you tasted the pain of betrayal. Now, I’m going to let you know how it feels to be deceived.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he thrust his broadsword fiercely.
Click.
The blue light s.h.i.+eld was finally broken.
The crazy white-bone Resentful Spirits rushed in through the cracks like a flow of mercury and engulfed the chief of the Green Fox Tribe like maggots.
“Ah, no...”
He cried out in despair and horror.
He was desperately struggling and using all kinds of skills to resist countless Resentful Spirits.
As a master in the King Realm, he held on for much longer than the young master of the Green Fox Tribe and other Heavenly Legends. After the white-bone Resentful Spirits gnawed at him for about fifteen minutes, he finally turned into white bones and died amidst his heart-wrenching howls.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe and his son had died.
Li Mu turned his head and looked in the direction of Feng Xingyun, Huangfu Chengdao, and the others.
Today, none of them could get out of here.
All of them were going to die.
