“Li Mu, are you surprised that I’m still alive?”
Tian Fu smiled smugly.
Yes, she was very much alive and kicking!
She was unscathed. Her aura became a little weaker, but she could fully recover after a short rest.
“Are you surprised?” Tian Fu said sneeringly, “You stupid b.a.s.t.a.r.d from the mortal world made me waste a Scapegoat Doll. Do you know how precious a Scapegoat Doll is? Even skinning you alive and pulling out your tendons is not enough for me to vent my hatred.”
Li Mu finally understood it.
“A Scapegoat Doll?
“It sounds interesting, and its name is simple and clear.
“That clearly explains how Tian Fu managed to survive.”
However, that was meaningless to Li Mu.
“Since you’ve survived, you shouldn’t have come back here to die.”
Li Mu glanced at the Sword Whizzes shooting all over the sky calmly as if he were looking at the clouds. He said, “The top sect in the world of Mount Shong? That’s impressive. It’s just that all of you are troubled by karma and karmic barriers, probably because you have committed too many sins. However, Earth is facing a great enemy now. If you are willing to lay down your butchers’ knives, I can give you a chance to redeem yourselves through your good conduct.”
His voice was not loud, but the thousands of Sword Whizzes in the sky and on earth and Luo Liang at the gate of Taixuan Sect heard every word he said clearly.
Luo Liang trembled with excitement.
“He’s so powerful.
“This is the overwhelming power of the oriental G.o.d of War.”
He pointed the camera at the sky and saw Li Mu and thousands of Sword Whizzes staring at each other, waiting for the beginning of an unprecedented battle.
“This is a real battle between sword whizzes.
“It’s just like a legend.
“Even The Legend of Sword and Fairy is not so amazing.”
At this time, the pop-ups on the screen in the live streaming studio went crazy.
“Good heavens. They are true Sword Whizzes.”
“It turns out that... there are so many immortals in the world.”
“This... Are you kidding me? Are those ancient oriental people flying in the sky all G.o.ds? They’re standing on their swords to fly.”
“Oh my G.o.d. How long could we hold on if those people invaded the western world at the same time? I’m afraid that it would collapse even faster than it did when it was invaded by alien forces during Star War II.”
Luo Liang laughed excitedly in the live streaming studio and said, “Did you see that? That’s Li Mu... It’s Li Mu. He flew out of the gate of Taixuan Sect. Do you understand? He went to Taixuan Sect. I bet that the whole Taixuan Sect is under his control now. Did you see those people who laughed at him before?”
“That’s awesome…”
“You’re an awesome host. Only you guessed right.”
“Fortunately, you managed to hold on.”
“Dear fans, what are you waiting for? Send some divine stones and flying swords to support me.”
The live streaming studio, which was quiet and seemed to be losing its popularity, suddenly became animated. The fans began to send all kinds of virtual gifts. In less than five minutes, Luo Liang had received many virtual gifts that were equivalent to a million cryptic web points.
This number was terrifying.
The cryptic web was involved in the benefit sharing, but Luo Liang could eventually get six hundred thousand cryptic web points, which were enough to exchange for sixty divine stones. The Spiritual Qi extracted from sixty divine stones was enough for an ordinary pract.i.tioner to sustain his practice for half a year.
However, Luo Liang did not care about such a big fortune at all.
What he really cared about was his idol, Li Mu, the G.o.d of War. This time, Li Mu could finally defend his bad reputation.
“Ha-ha, bros, it’s time to let the whole world know that Li Mu is invincible.”
Luo Liang shouted loudly in the live streaming studio.
Many pract.i.tioners of Hero Country became extremely excited.
Most of the foreign pract.i.tioners fell silent.
Both Li Mu and the Sword Whizzes of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect made them feel stressed. They were greatly shocked by countless Sword Whizzes flying in the sky.
“Those Sword Whizzes must be Li Mu’s good friends that are there to help him. Ha-ha, as I said before, Li Mu’s background is not simple.”
Luo Liang was very excited.
However, a surprising turn of events unfolded.
As displayed on the screen in the live streaming room, Li Mu and the Sword Whizzes in the sky suddenly started fighting.
Swords flashed about like streaks of lightning.
Broadsword Qi swept through the air.
After a short collision, strong energy waves began to surge through the sky like raging waves, stirring up the clouds and airflow and creating air vortices. From afar, it looked as if the sky was being torn apart, which was quite a terrifying sight to behold.
Luo Liang was stunned.
“What’s going on?
“Are they fighting?”
“What the f*ck. Host, what’s going on? Why is Li Mu fighting with the Sword Whizzes?”
“Didn’t you say they were allies?”
“Internal strife?”
“They are enemies.”
“Li Mu can’t defeat them. He seems to have been taken away.”
“Li Mu has been defeated.”
“What the f*ck. This reversal...”
Various comments popped up crazily.
All the people watching the live show were dumbfounded. In the sky, Li Mu confronted the Sword Whizzes and then began to fight with them. However, after exchanging just a couple of moves, he left with them. It seemed that he was besieged and forced to leave with them, and he was at a disadvantage.
Luo Liang’s face stiffened.
“Why is it like this?
“I have to follow them and find out the truth.”
He gritted his teeth and dashed madly in the direction where Li Mu and the Sword Whizzes had disappeared to.
However, how could he compare with those Sword Whizzes in terms of power?
He ran for half an hour and found that Li Mu and the Sword Whizzes had disappeared without a trace.
What made things even worse was that he had lost his way.
The world of Mount Shong was vast and boundless, bordered by lofty mountains and steep hills. The terrain was steep and difficult to access, and the place was full of miasma and danger. Moreover, there were some big rivers and lakes that were like natural moats. With his current strength, Luo Liang couldn’t cross those rivers and lakes.
He was so angry that he almost threw away his camera.
“Come back, host. Li Mu has been defeated.”
“You can’t apotheosize Li Mu too much!”
“Host, you’ve already done enough for Li Mu. Come back quickly. It’s very dangerous for you to go any further.”
“I can understand how you feel, but Li Mu is perhaps not as excellent as you think.”
“I’m afraid that there will be no oriental G.o.d of War in the world from now on.”
There were many pop-ups on the screen in the live streaming studio.
The burning pa.s.sions of many pract.i.tioners of Hero Country gradually faded away.
All the people thought that Li Mu would probably be in a perilous situation at this time.
“d.a.m.n it. The screen has gone black. What’s going on?”
“The host is on his way back. Please go to the other studios to have a look... There is no signal... The host has gone too deep into the mountains.”
“There is indeed no signal in the depths of that small world of mountains.”
“s.h.i.+t! The host is in danger.”
“Host, please don’t die.”
Of course, Li Mu had not been taken away.
On the contrary, he was actually taking the Sword Whizzes away.
He stood beside Tian Fu. A wisp of mercury-like Broadsword Qi was wrapped around this young mistress of the Sky Sword Peak’s white swan-like neck. He could kill her at any time with a stir of his mind.
However, Tian Fu didn’t have another Scapegoat Doll to die on her behalf.
Holding Tian Fu hostage, Li Mu led thousands of Sword Whizzes to the gate of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect.
He didn’t have enough time to play tug of war with the Mind-clearing Sword Sect. It was better to go straight to the base of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect and solve the problem once and for all. Therefore, he took Tian Fu hostage and forced the Sword Whizzes to go to the mountain gate of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect with him.
“Let’s talk about this amicably. We can accept any condition you ask for, but please don’t hurt the Young Mistress.”
The leader of the Sword Whizzes was an elder from the Sky Sword Peak called Zhuo Yun. He was very angry now, but he had no other choice but to talk politely.
He had never expected that Li Mu would be able to take the Young Mistress hostage in the presence of thousands of Sword Whizzes.
No matter what, he could not let anything bad happen to the Young Mistress. He had to make sure that she was completely safe.
Otherwise, he would suffer a fate worse than death if the head of the sect were to put the blame on him.
“Li Mu, are you crazy? How dare you take me hostage and go to the gate of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect? You are courting death. When the time comes, I will let you die without a burial place. I swear I will never let you off the hook.”
Tian Fu was so mad that she spoke without thinking.
She did not expect that she would fall into Li Mu’s hands again when she led the Sword Whizzes to face-off Li Mu aggressively, determined to cut him into pieces.
However, the result was a slap in the face.
She felt so annoyed and humiliated that she flew into a rage.
“Let’s just wait and see. I will let you know what regret feels like.”
Tian Fu gritted her teeth.
The grand elder Zhuo Yun’s face darkened.
“Young Lady, can you please not throw a tantrum and say such harsh words at this time? If Li Mu really got angry and slits your throat, it would be too late for regrets.”
A few hours later.
They arrived at the gate of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect.
As far as the eye could see, it was a picturesque place with green mountains and rivers within a radius of several thousand miles. Numerous hills were floating in the air, connected by huge steel chains. Fairy mist swirled around the bejeweled palaces, spirit birds fluttered their wings, and spirit beasts roared...
It was a real fairyland.
The mountain gate was grand and magnificent.
Compared with the gate of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect, the gate of Taixuan Sect was like a remote mountain area.
Within a radius of several thousand miles, three peaks that resembled pillars held up the sky in the east, west, and north. They were precarious and tens of thousands of meters high. These peaks seemed to be inconsistent with the physical laws of the Earth, but they did exist.
The news that Tian Fu had been taken hostage had spread among the Mind-clearing Sword Sect.
Therefore, as soon as Li Mu and the others arrived in the mountain area where the gate was located, divine lights suddenly began to flash in front of them, and thousands of Sword Whizzes appeared and streaked through the sky like a meteor shower, forming a pocket around Li Mu and the others.
“How dare this scoundrel kidnap my daughter? Are you courting death? Let go of her right now!”
A woman’s harsh voice tinged with condescension came from the front.
The Sword Whizzes moved to the side like tides to make way for someone.
A woman in a red fairy dress with a beautiful figure and a strong aura slowly walked up and stopped about fifty meters away. She stared fixedly at Li Mu, her eyes burning with ferocity and resentment. She looked like a viper ready to strike.
“Mom...”
Tian Fu began to struggle.
“Zheng Xiujing, do you still want me as your daughter? Hurry up and save me. Kill Li Mu right now. He is such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” She screamed.
The woman in the red fairy dress smiled and said, “No rush, my daughter. I will surely come to your aid...” After that, she glanced at Li Mu again, looking as cold as a viper. “You little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, let go of my daughter. Otherwise, I will make you regret that you were born into this world.
