Guan Zhen and Shadow Elder soon sensed the death of the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
Even though the densely packed cl.u.s.ters of white-bone Resentful Spirits all over the sky separated and besieged them, Guan Zhen and others in the King Realm soon sensed the faint vibes of the death of another master in the King Realm.
However, they couldn’t see it with their eyes, and their hearing was disturbed by the howls of the white-bone Resentful Spirits. As a result, they didn’t know that the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe were killed by Li Mu. They thought that the father and son died because the two of them, who were seriously injured while they “put on a show”, failed to defeat the white-bone Resentful Spirits.
For Guan Zhen and other masters in the King Realm, the current situation was also very dangerous.
They were burdened because they had to protect their own young masters.
Like a wild shark seeking revenge in the deep sea, Li Mu wandered in the sea of white-bone Resentful Spirits, searching for new targets.
He fixed his eyes on Ye Tianxie, the Purple Flame Divine Spear, and his protector.
Ye Tianxie’s protector was a middle-aged man using two spears. He wore a suit of purple armor. It was a suit of rare Divine Armor giving off purple light. He created a circle of light to protect himself and Ye Tianxie and tried his best to rush out.
Li Mu observed the protector with his Third Eye. This person was a high-level master in the King Realm, who was much weaker than Guan Zhen and Shadow Elder.
It made sense.
After all, the overall strength of the Purple Flame Clan was far inferior to that of the Heavenly Deity Clan and the Nether Ghost Clan.
Li Mu thrust his broadsword without any hesitation.
Boom!
The circle of purple started shaking when the long broadsword hit it.
Only then did Ye Tianxie realize that Li Mu was approaching.
“How could you…?”
To his surprise, he saw that Li Yidao was in the sea of white-bone Resentful Spirits, unscathed. The Resentful Spirits having no sense or consciousness pa.s.sed by Li Yidao but did not hit him, as if they could not sense his existence.
After great shock and disbelief, the middle-aged protector realized that a crisis was coming.
The white-bone Resentful Spirits would not attack Li Yidao, which meant that he was invincible.
In this case, they were in great danger.
Ye Tianxie felt frightened when he saw Li Yidao wielding the broadsword again.
“Hold on, Mr. Li. We bear no hatred or grudge against each other. Why do you…” He swallowed his saliva and tried his best to persuade Li Mu. His eyes flashed with anxiety and fear, which made his face look a little distorted. He could no longer sneer or gloat.
Li Mu ignored him and directly thrust the broadsword with the intendment of Endless Waves.
Boom!
As the purple light s.h.i.+eld was broken, the purple divine armor on the protector of the Purple Flame Clan was shattered into pieces.
The white-bone Resentful Spirits rushed in like floods and drowned Ye Tianxie and his protector.
“No… Li Yidao, help me. I am willing to pay any price… Ah!”
Ye Tianxie’s last struggle and howl suddenly stopped.
Ye Tianxie’s protector exploded. The terrifying power produced by the explosion destroyed many white-bone Resentful Spirits, turning them into blood mist. Other white-bone Resentful Spirits devoured the blood mist.
Just then, Li Mu was surprised to find a strange phenomenon.
The bodies of some white-bone Resentful Spirits that had devoured Ye Tianxie and his protector underwent a strange change in shape. Their bodies expanded and became more solid, and the energy waves from their bodies became stronger, as if they had evolved.
“The white-bone Resentful Spirits can evolve by devouring the blood and flesh of masters.”
Li Mu drew a conclusion.
“That is to say, those white-bone Resentful Spirit Kings are likely to have evolved from ordinary Resentful Spirits… It’s a very interesting phenomenon. As long as there are enough flesh and blood, all of those white-bone Resentful Spirits will evolve, become stronger, and eventually have willpower and wisdom.
“Is that the reason why ordinary white-bone Resentful Spirits are so crazily thirsty for flesh and blood?”
Li Mu began to understand how those white-bone Resentful Spirit Kings came into existence.
On closer inspection, he found that there were already two low-level Resentful Spirit Kings in this sea of white-bone Resentful Spirits. They had evolved from ordinary Resentful Spirits to the King Realm ones, but they were still far away from the peak of the King Realm.
It meant that the energy of the flesh and blood of four people, including the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe and Ye Tianxie, created two low-level Resentful Spirit Kings.
Li Mu picked Ao Jiuchuan, the Devouring Demonic Dragon, and his protector as the targets.
There was almost no suspense. The super Heavenly Legend and his protector struggled for a short while in anger and horror before the white-bone Resentful Spirits devoured them. Only pieces of white bones were left and fell from the sky.
Another half-step Resentful Spirit King came into being in this process.
Li Mu claimed the lives of his enemies without any hesitation.
He picked Feng Xingyun as the next target.
However, Shadow Elder was so powerful that Li Mu did not dare to get too close to him.
In the sea of Resentful Spirits, Shadow Elder was surrounded by black Devil Qi, which was surging wildly, creating a dark domain. The white-bone Resentful Spirits charged at him frantically, but it was still difficult for them to get within ten meters of his body.
The black Devil Qi had a certain destructive effect. It corroded and destroyed all the white-bone Resentful Spirits that entered into it.
However, what bothered Shadow Elder was that there were too many white-bone Resentful Spirits to kill, and they were continuously rus.h.i.+ng toward him like crazy. As a result, although he could protect Feng Xingyun without dying, it was difficult for him to rush out of the sea of white-bone Resentful Spirits. He moved too slowly.
Moreover, Shadow Elder had a very bad feeling.
He vaguely sensed that the vital signs of the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe, Ye Tianxie, and Ao Jiuchuan had completely disappeared. Obviously, they had died.
He felt that there seemed to be a very formidable killer hidden behind the white-bone Resentful Spirits, who had been secretly watching him like a hunter.
Li Mu sensed Shadow Elder’s vigilance.
He thought for a moment and decided to give up killing Shadow Elder for the moment. He began to observe Guan Zhen and Huangfu Chengdao.
However, it was obvious that Guan Zhen’s intuition was keener than that of Shadow Elder.
When Li Mu was less than one kilometer from them, Guan Zhen already sensed the danger, roughly located him, and adopted a combat stance like a drawn bow from which a deadly arrow might shoot out at any time.
“I can’t act too recklessly.”
Li Mu warned himself.
Although his heart was filled with hatred and killing intent, he clearly knew that he could not act with undue haste.
Guan Zhen and Shadow Elder got into a difficult situation and could not get out of it for a while, but they still had the power to fight back and cause severe injury to Li Mu or even endanger Li Mu’s life. If Li Mu dealt with these two masters in the King Realm, who were in very good conditions, using the same means as that he used to deal with the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe, it was very likely that he would fail to defeat them and be harmed instead.
Li Mu thought for a moment and made up his mind.
He did his best to conceal his aura and approached Feng Xingyun and Shadow Elder.
“I found you. Show yourself.”
Black mist swirled in Shadow Elder’s eyes. He soon located Li Mu’s position. In an instant, two shadows flew out and darted toward Li Mu.
Li Mu was shocked. He wielded his broadsword and broke the two black shadows, which had been etherealized after making their way through many white-bone Resentful Spirits, into pieces.
However, his body was contaminated by black mist.
“Li Yidao, is that you?”
At the critical moment, Feng Xingyun caught sight of Li Mu. He felt shocked and angry.
His first reaction was the same as that of the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe. He could not believe why the white-bone Resentful Spirits didn’t attack Li Yidao.
“As expected, it’s you b.a.s.t.a.r.d again! If you stir up trouble here, I’ll kill you!” Shadow Elder shouted angrily.
He had long expected that Li Mu would show up. After he located Li Mu’s position, he created the Black Mist Domain to protect Feng Xingyun. Then, he activated the black Devil Qi and rushed madly toward Li Mu.
Li Mu performed the Somersault Cloud skill and flew backwards at a high speed.
Shadow Elder chased him relentlessly.
However, Feng Xingyun’s horrified screams came from behind him.
Without Shadow Elder’s support, the Black Mist Domain started to crumble under the white-bone Resentful Spirits’ furious a.s.sault.
Shadow Elder was not resigned, but he had to give up chasing Li Mu and go back to protect Feng Xingyun.
However, at this moment, Li Mu turned around and performed his broadsword-using method to stop Shadow Elder. Instead of fighting with the latter head-on, he fought as he moved about under the cover of the white-bone Resentful Spirits.
At the end, when Shadow Elder returned to Feng Xingyun’s side, Feng Xingyun’s arm and leg had already been bitten off by the white-bone Resentful Spirits. Feng Xingyun was extremely miserable, and he almost died.
“Ah-ah-ah. Shadow Elder, help me and kill Li Yidao. Kill him for me!!” Feng Xingyun went berserk. He roared hysterically like a madman.
He had always been known for his wisdom. He liked to play with people’s hearts and schemes, but he had never been so miserable. He hated Li Yidao to the core.
Shadow Elder helped Feng Xingyun stop the bleeding and heal his wounds.
“This is not going to work. We can’t go on like this. We need to get out of here first. I don’t know why the Resentful Spirits don’t attack that b.a.s.t.a.r.d…” Shadow Elder made up his mind. He planned to use his Source Energy and lifespan to temporarily increase his power and get out of here.
However, something unexpected happened at this moment.
Li Mu directly took out the corpses of those Heavenly Legends he had killed from the jade medallion and threw them heavily at Shadow Elder and Feng Xingyun.
Tens of huge corpses collided with the Black Mist Domain and exploded violently. Large amounts of blood and energy spread out around the Black Mist Domain.
“What’s that?”
The look on Shadow Elder’s face changed.
Suddenly, a strange thunder-like roar rang out.
The white-bone Resentful Spirits around Shadow Elder and Feng Xingyun suddenly retreated like ebbing tides.
“They have retreated. Ha-ha, they have retreated. We’re safe now.” Feng Xingyun was shocked for a moment. Then, he was overjoyed, thinking that he saw the light of life.
However, almost at the same time, a huge tentacle hundreds of meters long reached out like lightning from the sea of white-bone Resentful Spirits and struck Shadow Elder’s Black Mist Domain heavily.
Boom!
The Black Mist Domain was shattered instantly.
“Puff…” Shadow Elder’s body shook violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were full of horror. He roared angrily, “Something at the peak of King Realm… How could there be a monster with such strength?”
A huge octopus-shaped white-bone Resentful Spirit King, which seemed slow but was actually fast, appeared in front of Shadow Elder and Feng Xingyun in the blink of an eye. It looked down at them with its huge eyes looking like two black holes.
Li Mu stepped back quietly.
He had finally lured a white-bone Resentful Spirit King out.
Shadow Elder and Feng Xingyun were doomed.
