But tonight quite a few in the hall had mocked Li Mu.
Especially the rest of the scholars of the two academies. They already cursed the young man with all sorts of swear words they could think of. Now, as Li Mu scanned the crowd with his eyes, every single one of them was seized by panic. Their hearts were hammering wildly as if a knife was pressed against their chest, and they did not even dare to breathe heavily.
"Hanshan Academy and Fengming Academy are said to be the two best places for learning knowledge in the ancient capital, Chang'an. But the students there stand facts on their heads. How pathetic and ridiculous they are! Today, I won't kill you. Go back and tell your deans that in ten days I'll visit both of your academies and borrow some books stored in your libraries. They must clean the libraries and get all the books ready within ten days and wait for my arrival."
Li Mu's eyes swept across those terrified scholars as he ordered
Today, a string of surprising events had occurred, especially what Hua Xiangrong did. Compared with the breakthrough Li Mu made in the Natural Taoist Figure, he was more stunned by Hua Xiangrong, who had defended him when all the others were giving him a hard time and even affronted the two influential academies for him. Her kindness truly warmed Li Mu's heart. After deliberating it for a moment, Li Mu took a jade pendant off from his robe. The pendant happened to be in the shape of a petal, which was dangling from a silver string. On the pendant carved a little magic formation devised for protection and calming the nerves. It was a low-grade Taoist instrument made by Li Mu at an earlier time on that day. It also had the functioned of locating the wearer and could enable the wearer to throw off a full blow of a superb expert in the Master Realm. If it were put on the market, people would certainly scramble for that treasure. Li Mu spun aroun
The one speaking was exactly one of the disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club that sat at Li Mu's table before. A moment ago, they were also terribly scared. Each kept their head low, afraid that Li Mu would spot them. But now, with Li Mu gone, they began to swagger around again. The instant the words were out, the hot atmosphere in the hall cooled as if someone had poured a bucket of water to a burning charcoal brazier. The duel suddenly crossed the minds of many guests. "Yeah, right! There is gonna be a duel between the two Great Masters!" The deadline they set was three days later. Two days, if today was included, had already passed. Thus, the day after tomorrow was the date of the life-and-death battle of the two Great Masters. During these two days, people in Chang'an had made various predictions about the duel. Generally speaking, the majority of the residents believed Heaven-Sword Celesti
Hanshan Academy. "Arrogant. You not only killed our guider, but also even spoke such arrogant words... You virtually have an exaggerated opinion of your abilities." In the dean's office, an old sturdy man indignantly slapped the table into pieces. "Our Hanshan Academy has been standing for two hundred years, with students all over the world. Will we be afraid of him, a humble and abandoned son? Even if he is a Great Master, what can he do? Send Hanshan Alumni Invitation out. I want to call academy elites back to school and to wait for this young Great Master." The old man was like an angry lion. "Dean, why not decide whether to send Hanshan Alumni Invitation out after the end of tomorrow's battle?" a guider suggested, whose implication was that if Li Mu was killed by Heaven-Sword Celestial Being, they wouldn't need to do that. "No. Sent it now," the old dean sneered, "No matter how many students com
Powerful people and senior monsters of Celestial Being Realm were quite horrible, since they could destroy a city in a flash and the ordinary army couldn't resist them. But the realm higher than Celestial Being Realm required one to break through the limits and grasp the past and current changes. When succeeding in this step, one could enter the Sage Realm. Experts at the Sage Realm were also called peerless supreme beings. Currently, on the Divine Land, the number of peerless supreme beings was fixed, including the suzerains of nine major Holy Clans, the royal ancestors of three empires, several king ancestors of the demon race, and a few supreme masters in various fields... Thus, visibly, the total number of sages was less than 20. These people, on this Martial Art Star, were like supernatural beings. They were truly invincible. Moreover, there was no conflict between the supreme bein
On the drill ground of Heaven Sword Martial Club, the hole of the underground palace punched by Li Mu, after special renovation, had been refilled. Ten drill grounds were connected together, and on the sixth drill ground in the center was a stone platform of more than 20 meters high, which was the fighting ring for the two great masters to fight today. On the east of the ring was a viewing platform prepared for those famous figures. Besides this, there was all open space without anything like chairs in the other three orientations, so other audience could only stand to watch. The entire venue was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. Heaven Sword Martial Club really did its best to make the momentum greater. The greater the momentum, the more people could be shocked when Heaven-Sword Celestial Being showed his martial prowess. The crowd crowded towards the drill ground.
The eyes of Heaven-Sword Celestial Being were like two flaming pillars, as he shouted. His voice was like the flaming sound, which was harsh. However, at this time, the other hero of the battle still didn't appear. The disciples of Heaven Sword Martial Club were dispatched at the gate of the martial arts club to report again and again but did not see the young Great Master, Li Mu. "He must dare not to battle, so he escapes overnight." "Hey hey. I have heard that this young Great Master is fake." "He finally shows his true colors." Some spectators were whispering. Those several young male and female disciples of Fengming Academy were also looking at each other. "What's the matter?" "Does he really escape?" "No. His poetry is very good... It shouldn't be like that. If he escapes, his fame will all collapse, and he will become infamous."
Hua Xiangrong couldn't wait to ask, "What is the outcome?" "It just started. How can the victory come out?" Xin'er said, "They might need to battle for two or three hours. After all, they are both Great Masters." In fact, she did not understand martial arts, so she was completely guessing. "Young Master Li, he... should be able to win?" Hua Xiangrong seemed to be talking to herself and yet seemed to be waiting for a positive answer from Xin'er. Xin'er firmly nodded and replied, "Of course, he is the young Great Master, who is adept with both the pen and the sword." This was also her blind guess, which certainly meant to comfort her Miss. In the recent two days, the battle between the two Great Masters was spread widely in Chang'an City, so Xin'er knew something about the odds in major gambling houses, in which those participants didn't think Young Master Li Mu would win. Thus, she didn't want to tell Hua Xiangrong about that. "
Li Mu still didn't use any weapons but fought with a pair of flesh palms against his enemy. Wind-Cloud Six Moves was his uniquely-created martial move, but he only grasped two moves, Dao-Drawing Chopping, and Lightning Chopping. With his forceful flesh strength, the explosive power could compete with Heaven-sword Sixteen Styles, while the other four unfinished moves were just rudiments, which were not mature enough to defeat Heaven-Sword Celestial Being. Therefore, he still used the two moves of Dao-using methods in battle. If he didn't react, he could punch. Rocking-sky Hammer, the first move in Zhenwu Boxing, was most forceful, and under one punch of it, any moves of Heaven-Sword Celestial Being, no matter how strange or fierce, would disappear. As the battle was fierce, both of them were confronting each other with toughness, which was a battle of pure power. They were fighting like Mars hitting the earth. On the ground arou
Li Mu's cultivation nowadays was at the peak of the Golden Immortal, and his battle power could cut down the first generals.If one were to obtain a drop of Immortal Marrow, one could instantly leap into the peak of Immortal Generals, and at that time, even if one were to face an Immortal King, one would be able to defeat him in battle, not to mention traversing across the major state capitals, even if it was the entire Eastern Sacred Continent, the heavens and the earth were vast, and one could go to it.At that time, it would be like a fish out of water to find Wang Shiyu, Hua Wanyong, and the others.At that thought, Li Mu immediately became desirous of this Immortal Marrow."One drop of Immortal Marrow, one great realm, so if a bottle of Immortal Marrow were all swallowed, wouldn't it directly soar into the Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Lord realm?" Li Mu said.Xia Jing was stunned and then giggled."I didn't expect that
Uh-huh?What a scene of déjà vu.Li Mu all of a sudden, remembered the legendary Liu Huangshu Baidicheng entrusted the orphan.It's a pity that the Emperor is not Uncle Liu.And Li Mu is not Zhuge Kongming.Li Mu said indifferently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can make a dao oath that I won't taint the imperial power of Huangji Cliff for the rest of my life.""Cough cough cough ......" the emperor coughed, hastily said: "I ...... am not using words to frame you, I... ...In the chaotic world, there is no strength, sooner or later ...... sooner or later is the death ...... of the disaster ...... wood brother you if you are the emperor, or you may be able to ...... preserve a trace of my bloodline, I ......"Li Mu said, "Your Majesty's meaning, I understand, but my words remain the same, I will never dye the royal fist, Emperor Chen will be a bright ruler."The emperor sighed and said, "I understand ...... all ...... all stand down ....
Reimu smiled.Snap your fingers.Phew.A golden stream of light flashed by.Emperor Zhen, who was roaring at the top of his lungs, his voice came to an abrupt end, and his hands covered his neck, a splash of blood seeped out, followed by golden flames, which spewed out from his body."You ...... you dare to kill me?"He looked at Li Mu incredulously and eventually turned into a puff of flying ash.In the great hall, there was an instant dead silence.The horrific images, although they had ended, the aftermath was still like a hurricane, still madly hitting everyone's nerves over and over again.Prince Wood actually went out and killed someone?He actually made a move?Killing a royal son with royal blood flowing in his body right here in this great hall?He dared.He really dared.All the ministers felt that their bodies were cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, like the cold winter of the t
The other ministers in the hall, hearing such words, could not help but look at Zheng Yuan with shocked gazes.The so-called Emperor Tatsu's son is a wild seed, this kind of thing, if you don't explode it sooner or later, and you don't explode it at this time, what is the intention?Besides, it's not certain whether it's true or not.Saying such words in such an important meeting of the court was tantamount to slapping the emperor's face in public and rubbing the emperor's majesty, on the ground.What a nerve.On one side, Servant Yin's face changed wildly as she shook her head and argued, "No, it's not like that, Chen'er is His Majesty's child ...... "When the Emperor intended to set up Emperor Chen as the Crown Prince just now, she vaguely realized that this was a dangerous signal, the treacherous darkness of the palace court was not something she could resist as a small servant girl.But I didn't expect the slander and danger to come so
"Tatsu-chan!"Servant Yin was filled with a huge surprise in her chest and subconsciously rushed over to the little boy and held him in her arms."Mother, you're here too ...... Mother, I've seen father."The little boy dug into Squire Yin's arms with delight.His first words had to do with his parents.But many snickers resounded clearly and audibly in the great hall.Although no one said anything, the meaning was clear: 'Father' is a word you call, too?Servant Yin, however, didn't pay that much attention.In the instant she saw her son, her heart, without the slightest bit of nervousness or panic, held her son firmly in her arms, and the only thought in her entire life and soul at that moment was to protect her son at all costs."Do not make a noise and stand aside."The Grand Eunuch opened his mouth to chide.The little boy then kept his mouth tightly shut.He was foolish and hadn't seen much of the world, b
A cold aura flickered.A sword to the death.The sharp sword was about to pierce the young maid's brow.Just then, a sudden change occurred.Suddenly space and time seemed to freeze, and the black-clothed assassin realized that his immortal sword, after all, was no longer able to progress the slightest bit.What's going on?He was alarmed in his mind.And yet the next moment--Ding!The sword body incredibly broke apart and turned into countless shards.The tip of the sword flew backward and penetrated the black-clothed assassin's throat.Before the blood could soar out, his body erupted into a ball of golden flames, which then turned into flying ash and dissipated into the air.The little maid looked at what was in front of her in shock.In that moment just now, she thought she was bound to die.It turned out to be the assassin who died.Who saved me?She gasped in horror and looked arou
The Emperor was sitting on the throne of the Nine to Five, a little tired.The fact that he was poisoned was not revealed to the public.So until now, no one has known.But the toxin was eating away at his body so frantically that his energy was declining so much that his entire body felt extremely tired at all times.The sound of ministers' ears arguing seemed near and far away in the ear.The hand-wringing Prince Tatsu was led by the great eunuch and stood on the side of the dragon chair.Eight or nine year old boy, for the first time out of that small compound, face full of fear, timid, like a small goat caught in a wolf pack, not knowing what to do, lowered his head, twisted the corner of his coat, did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere.This look, in the eyes of the ministers, is even more unbearable."Your Majesty's intention to establish a Crown Prince is a major event, and should not be done in haste, perhaps it should
The little boy did not return until late afternoon.The young maid tried to inquire about the news several times, but was mercilessly stopped by the palace's close guards guarding the entrance of the firewood courtyard.She had been until, herself, she was secluded.This alarmed the young maid even more.What the hell is going on?What kind of terrible things would Tatsu'er face if he went to the palace?The Empress and the Noble Consorts, they won't poison him, will they?Why did His Majesty suddenly summon Chen'er to the palace?She speculated in her mind in fear, her tears were like a fountain that she could not control at all.It's a mother's love for her son.Humble but great love.Kneeling on both knees in the courtyard, she looked up at the Hao Sun that was gradually setting in the sky, and at the silver full moon that had already risen, shedding tears and silently praying with her life and soul."Tatsu'e
The Emperor was at the half-step Golden Immortal level of cultivation, and although this realm was forcefully instilled with various resources and secret techniques, the realm was enough after all.The lifespan of a half-step Golden Immortal could be more than five thousand years.So the Emperor never thought that he would have to face death head on, so soon."It's so ...... ungrateful."He smiled bitterly on his face and sighed deeply on the inside.But in the end, you have to face reality.The biggest problem to consider today was who should inherit the throne of Huangji Cliff after his death.He had only ascended the throne as emperor for just over two years, and because he was diligent in his political affairs and too young, he had not even considered the matter of the succession of the throne.In the harem, there are but one wife and two concubines.These three women were not his true love, but were allied for the sake of pr
