"Li Mu's leaving with me, one way or another."
Green Ox flatly refused to bulge.
There was no need for more banter. If the Sons of Lightning wanted a fight, then Green Ox of the Sanctuary of the Way would be ready to give it his all. The Sanctuary of the Way, for all its embodiment of the 'Do nothing, Achieve anything' maxim, might have rarely interfered with the cares of the world but its members would never shy from a fight if the need to stick their hands into the mud so arises.
"Show us what you can do then, Green Ox."
The Thunderbird issued its challenge in the human tongue. He unfurled its entire wingspan, its multi-hued feathers bristling with jets of lightning bolts that screamed into the air, sweeping the skies in torrents that came surging down on Green Ox.
"The Fist of Enlightenment."
With a long-winded yell, Green Ox drove his knuckles skyward.
Boom!
The blast s
That the Heaven and Earth Rings could have such might when used by Green Ox was the last thing Li Mu ever expected. The Rings had effectively ruled the whole skirmish by incapacitating three of the four enemy champions with only just one blow to every one of them and daunting the last one enough to immediately abandon the fight. Green Ox had not ever enough time yet to master the use of the Rings fully. But what if he did? What if Green Ox was given enough time to learn and practice the use of the Rings? What power would he wield by then?For the first time, Li Mu began to truly fear the true might of Emperor-class weapons.He had never felt such fear before.He felt like an ape. A baboon that did not fully appreciate the Heaven and Earth Rings for what they actually were and what they were capable of.But whatever he felt like, the perils that existed just minutes before were no more.Green Ox surveyed the site of th
Li Mu was on the fourth day of his stay in the Sanctuary of the Way when his presence was requested for an audience with the Grand Master of the Sanctuary and the Supreme Savant of the Brotherhood of Swords. That was also the day when the first snow fell.In one single night, winter came quietly and draped the whole world under a sheet of white.Every inch of the wilderness save for places within range of Trees of Eternity had turned into a subzero tundra. Even Upper King Realm elites could be frozen to death if left exposed to such harsh cold conditions for too long.The Serenity Mountains where the Sanctuary of the Way was perched have a total of five Trees of Eternity. Each of different sizes, the Trees were arranged in a pentagram formation with one at the main summit of Old Sand Ridge being the biggest. The Trees ceaselessly enveloped the entire mountain range in soft emerald-green phosphorescent domes of their emanation, keeping the whole
"As a champion who could eat even Deity Realm enemies for breakfast, and who is burdened with a blood feud and is being chased a lineage of god-like figures, I should be training and meditating as best I can to get stronger! Yet here I am, using a phone app to cheat at chess while keeping someone entertained… And that someone seems to at least be an Emperor-class champion..."What sort of topsy-turvy have I got myself into?!"Li Mu wondered as he moved another chess piece to a new position on the board, according to the instructions on his phone.Another two hours elapsed.The Sword Savant had only just emptied the last drop of wine from his twenty-fourth flask and the look on his face was every bit the semblance of a science student being interviewed by Einstein himself."That's incredible! Is this really how good you are?! You're having fun on that phone but yet you could still play and even defeat me, the bes
"I have five more sworn brothers in the Brotherhood. When we first made our pledges together, I promised to include them all if I were to acknowledge anyone else as new sworn brothers. It slipped my mind just now. So, anyway, you're the Seventh."The Sword Savant said all that as a matter-of-factly.What else could Li Mu say?"Isn't this like something from that Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils story?!"Nevertheless, to be able to forge some sort of bond with the Sword Savant, the first sword of the Brotherhood of Swords, would not hurt his prospects at all.At any rate, everything that happened today has been awfully surrealistic. "Well, that simplifies things," the Grand Master of the Sanctuary broke his silence suddenly. "Since Li Mu's name is still on the List of the Condemned, surely, as a brother to him, you can do something to help?""That must be those bastards from Thundercrest innit
"I'm not sure if this is all just a misunderstanding. This Godbreaker that you're referring to, those in the world I come from would prefer to just call it the Four-Blade God-Killing Broadsword. It was only from Lei Cang's words did I realize that it has another name: Godbreaker. But I'm still uncertain if this is really what everyone is discussing."LI Mu summoned the Four-Blade God-Killing Broadsword. A golden saber of four individual blades shimmered into appearance in his grasp. "Have a look, sir. Is this really the Godbreaker you seek?"The Grand Master glanced at the peculiar weapon. He did not even reach for it. "This is right," he said, nodding his head. "Yes. It might have assumed a different form, but I recognize its aura. I saw Godbreaker with my own eyes a long, long time ago. This is Godbreaker, I'm sure of it.""I only stumbled upon it by chance. Surely that doesn't make me its true owner."The sage-like Grand
“It’s because a part of the Sanctuary of the Way’s lineage came from Earth,” revealed the Grand Master with a twinkling smile. “You and I, we’re fellow humans and Green Ox once had an encounter with you where you helped him to defeat the Fairy Emperor of Light.”Li Mu smiled.The answer might be acceptable, but it was still not yet convincing enough for Li Mu.But Li Mu knew better than to pry. If the Grand Master wished to maintain some secrets of his own, Li Mu could at least have the courtesy to play dumb.Especially since the spiritual intuition of his Xiantian Skill discipline told him that the Grand Master harbored no ill will towards him.“I thank you so much for your concern and kindness, sir,” Li Mu said. “But if it’s not too much of an imposition, it’s about the same matter that I’ve spoken to the Sword Savant earlier; I hope you could—with the influence of the Sanctuary—provide some assistance in the search
"What the hell are you staring at?!" Barked the younger one of the pair of scarlet-clad women. With skin that glowed with a rosy hue resembling that of peach blossom, exquisitely arched eyebrows curving with the grace of willow leaves, and almond-shaped eyes exuding a charm both captivating and enchanting, the girl glared furiously at Li Mu, "Look one more time and I'll have your eyes gouged out, you scoundrel!""As if you would know that I'm staring at you if you're not looking at me yourself," snorted Li Mu frostily."Insolence! How dare you speak to me with that tone! You must have a death wish!" The girl slapped a hand at something fastened at her waist. A beam of redness shot straight at Li Mu's eye with the speed and intensity of a lightning bolt. "She should be about to kill me!"Rage took over Li Mu in the blink of an eye. "What a savage young girl! Just because someone has angered her, she feels no scruples
There came a clang of metal.Underneath the leather seal were three huge iron cages. In each cage, there was a monster covered with red hair and looking like a red giant monkey.The three monsters had flushed eyes, and madness and violence exuded from every pore of their being. They were hitting the bars of the cages desperately, ignoring the harm they were inflicting on themselves.Liuyun Sealing Figuress, exclusively owned by the Liuyun family, flickered on the iron bars.Apparently, those huge iron cages were precious treasures."Mr. Liuyun, are these crazy fire monkeys the weird thing you're talking about?" Said Yan Yalun as he stood up. "They're in the Deity Realm at most, so it will be effortless to get rid of them. Don't tell me you guys have fallen so far back that you can't even handle some beasts in the Deity Realm!"Many martial arts practitioners of the Liuyun family instantly looked irritated.
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
