Chapter 872
Li Mu knew he couldn’t run away.
However, he was not nervous at all.
He had never planned to escape from the very beginning.
“Hey, you silly dog! Take good care of the Immortal Taoist,” Li Mu said in a low voice.
The stupid dog muttered, “This blind man doesn’t seem useful, and he doesn’t want to live anymore. What’s the point of protecting him? Why don’t you let me eat him?”
Li Mu really wanted to kick the stupid dog away, but he held back the urge to do so.
“Li Mu, did you kill Feng’er?”
The lord of the Wind Clan asked Li Mu in a cold tone of voice while standing on the shoulder of the giant demon.
...
“No, I didn’t kill him.” Li Mu shook his head and said, “I just cut some grass.”
“You foolish mortal!” The lord of the Wind Clan gave a roar of rage. He knew Li Mu was trying to annoy him.
There was some strange resonance and echo in his voice, which made him appear to be colder and more emotionless. “Well, this is destiny, and no one can escape his destiny. Li Mu, I’m going to send you to keep company with Feng’er. When you can neither live nor die, I will make you be his slave for thousands of years.”
With that, he rushed over to Li Mu in the blink of an eye and did a palm strike.
Unlike Yu Jingfeng, Feng San, and other masters of the Wind Clan who had reached the elementary level of the Deity Realm, the lord of the Wind Clan reached the high level of the Deity Realm a long time ago and had a long-standing reputation. His palm was surrounded by countless wind runes swirling like raging waves, and his palm strike had irresistible power.
Instead of fighting him head-on, Li Mu just dodged while trying to find the opportunity to fight back.
“When I fought with Yu Jingfeng and the others, I didn’t really unleash my full potential. Only masters like the lord of the Wind Clan can make me feel pressured … Well, let me try and see the upper limit of my current strength.”
Li Mu’s fighting spirit was surging, and his blood was boiling.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The violent explosions produced numerous bursts of energy, which turned into blast waves that spread out like surging waves in all directions. Wherever they passed, the rocks turned into flying ash, the crust was lifted up, and the surrounding rockeries and divine statues disappeared in an instant like thin paper in blazing fire.
“Woof.”
The stupid dog growled. In his mouth that looked like a black hole, there seemed to be flickering black light. He stood in front of the Immortal Taoist to block the blast waves.
Blood was still gushing from the Immortal Taoist’s eye sockets, but he looked much calmer now. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, trying to perform his cultivation method and adjust himself.
The mountain-like giant demon was standing motionless outside the abandoned garden, looking like a lifeless puppet. His eyes were like two blood suns suspended high in the sky, emitting endless demonic Qi that spread towards every corner of the immortal palace.
Boom!
Li Mu was hit and sent flying backward.
“You’ve got a divine broadsword, but you use it like a fire poker. What a shame!” The lord of the Wind Clan moved extremely fast in a very strange way and exerted the power of the Law of Wind to the full extent. Li Mu activated his Third Eye with all his strength, but he could barely keep up with his opponent.
“It turns out that the special strength of the Wind Clan is speed. I am no match for him in terms of speed.” Li Mu thought to himself.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He exchanged blows with his opponent.
In the face of his opponent’s great strength and incomparable speed, he was completely at a disadvantage.
“Let go of it.”
The lord of the Wind Clan hit Li Mu’s wrist with a finger.
Li Mu’s wrist was almost broken. The Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword flew out of his hand.
A sudden gust of wind blew.
The lord of the Wind Clan moved swiftly like a phantom. He grabbed the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword and attempted to hack Li Mu with a backhand slash.
Li Mu’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly performed the Somersault Cloud skill and retreated rapidly.
The lord of the Wind Clan moved very fast, and his broadsword skills were quite good. As he moved swiftly, he wielded the broadsword, pointed it at Li Mu’s glabella, and hacked down.
Li Mu roared angrily and threw a punch at the blade of the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword.
Boom!
With a flash of light, the long broadsword was directly sent flying.
“Hmm?”
The two fighters exclaimed at the same time.
Li Mu was deeply shocked.
“What’s going on?”
As his fist came into contact with the blade just now, he suddenly found that the broadsword attack launched by the lord of the Wind Clan was much weaker than his previous palm strikes in terms of power. When he threw a punch in a hurry to avert the broadsword attack, he initially thought that even if his hand would not be sliced off, he would be seriously injured.
Unexpectedly, he knocked the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword out of the hand of the lord of the Wind Clan with a punch.
However, the lord of the Wind Clan reacted very fast. He moved like a beam of light and grasped the broadsword again in the blink of an eye.
He hovered in the void and looked down at the broadsword with a look of shock and bewilderment on his face.
Without saying a word, Li Mu soared through the void, leaving a long string of shadows behind him. He got close to the lord of the Wind Clan in an instant and hacked down at the latter. His long broadsword flashed and ripped through the void.
“No wonder it’s a legendary divine broadsword. I just don’t believe that I can’t break the taboo and make use of it.” The lord of the Wind Clan forcefully injected his violent and powerful true energy into the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword.
Countless strange runes appeared on the blade of the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword, making the blade look like a lit candle.
The broadsword flashed.
Clank! Clank!
The broadsword light all over the sky was shattered.
The two long broadswords in Li Mu’s hands were instantly cut into pieces.
“Shattering of a Thousand Stars!”
Li Mu was already prepared. He immediately threw the remaining hilts of his broadswords, performed the Zhenwu Boxing, and threw a punch.
The terrifying power of the punch was released in an instant.
“Ha-ha, drop dead!” The lord of the Wind Clan roared with laughter and waved the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword.
Bang!
The divine broadsword was knocked out of his hand once again and flew through the sky.
“What?”
The lord of the Wind Clan was taken aback.
“I have activated this divine broadsword, but why doesn’t it work?”
A look of surprise flashed across Li Mu’s face. With his fists flying like divine dragons coming out of the sea, he performed the Sky-breaking Hammer, the Sky-cracking Punch, and other Zhenwu Boxing styles that were powerful enough to shatter the stars. By launching these attacks in a row, he suppressed the lord of the Wind Clan.
Boom!
His fist hit the lord of the Wind Clan in the face.
The head of the lord of the Wind Clan, who was a master at the high level of the Deity Realm, immediately started spinning like a top. Countless bones in his neck were broken.
However, the Zhenwu Boxing only had purely physical power and did not have any other special power. Therefore, it was not difficult for powerful martial arts masters with strong vitality to recover from injuries caused by the Zhenwu Boxing.
In the blink of an eye, the lord of the Wind Clan had recovered from injury. He waved his hand, grabbed the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword, and launched a counterattack.
As a master that had reached the high level of the Deity Realm, he fiercely attacked Li Mu with the broadsword relying on his powerful true energy.
Li Mu clearly knew how sharp the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword was, so he didn’t dare to dodge it with his body. He used several different weapons, but they were all cut into pieces.
Soon, he found himself in a disadvantageous position.
“I’m going to lose the fight,” he thought to himself.
So, he started to plan a retreat.
“Unfortunately, the divine broadsword has fallen into the hands of my enemy.”
“Don’t be afraid. Fight him.”
A voice suddenly came into his ears.
It was the voice of the fairy in yellow.
Beams of cold light swirled.
The lord of the Wind Clan came at Li Mu wielding his broadsword.
Li Mu subconsciously tried to dodge.
The voice of the fairy in yellow rang out again. “Don’t worry. This broadsword won’t hurt you.”
Li Mu made up his mind and punched the blade.
Boom!
The lord of the Wind Clan, who had intentionally tightened his grip on the handle of the broadsword, was directly sent flying by the pure physical power of Zhenwu Boxing. He flew several hundred meters away before he could steady himself in the air.
“Why is it like this?”
The lord of the Wind Clan was angry and shocked beyond words.
“This divine broadsword is extremely sharp, and it can destroy any weapon clashing with it. How come it can’t cause any damage to Li Mu’s body? Has the physical power of this monstrous mortal reached such a terrifying level?”
Li Mu felt greatly surprised too.
Previously, he didn’t notice that, but now it seemed the broadsword couldn’t cause damage to his body.
The acute pain in his fists felt like that caused by fractures, but only a few white marks were left in some areas of his fits where the divine broadsword had cut, and even the skin in these areas remained unbroken.
“Ha-ha-ha, the so-called Deity Realm is nothing special.”
Li Mu finally calmed down and rushed forward to attack.
This time, he performed the Zhenwu Boxing, especially the first seven moves, to the full extent. These continuous moves carried the kind of terrifying power that could shatter the stars and disturb the Star River.
“You hideous junior…”
The lord of the Wind Clan found it difficult to control his rage.
He had never been ridiculed like that.
As the two fighters engaged each other again, the situation changed in a strange way.
After several cautious attempts, Li Mu found that none of the broadsword skills or combat skills performed by the lord of the Wind Clan could hurt him. Therefore, he let go of all his inhibitions and used his bare hands and body to take slashes of the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
His opponent hacked his body with the broadsword.
He grimaced with pain.
However, pain was all that he felt.
Apart from the numerous white marks, no other damage was caused to him.
“Let the power of divine runes enter your bones and refine it using your body as a furnace and the external force as fire…”
The voice of the fairy in yellow came into Li Mu’s ears once again.
What she said was the mnemonic device of an ancient secret skill.
Li Mu froze for a moment and then suddenly understood something.
He noticed that except anger, the look on the face of the lord of the Wind Clan did not change at all. In other words, only he could hear the voice of the fairy in yellow.
He tried to comprehend the mnemonic as he fought.
The voice of the fairy in yellow kept ringing out to clear his doubts. She patiently explained a secret method called the Divine Rune Refining Technique to him.
Li Mu soon understood it.
While fighting, he secretly performed the secret skill and mental cultivation method, withstood the whipping and slashing power of the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword in the hand of the lord of the Wind Clan, and guided it into his body to refine the power of the golden divine runes.
Masters in the Upper King Realm could convert their true energy into the power of runes and use the power in many subtle ways.
That was one of the reasons why masters in the Upper King Realm were more powerful than those in the King Realm.
After Li Mu accidentally entered the Upper King Realm and went through the runes refining process, he still didn’t figure out the many wonderful uses of the power of the golden runic chains in his body. Now, he was refining these divine runes relying on the power of the lord of the Wind Clan according to the Divine Rune Refining Technique that the fairy in yellow had taught him.
After a while, the golden runic chains in his body began to emit more dazzling golden light, which came out of his body and made him look like glaring golden sun.
“How could this be happening?”
The lord of the Wind Clan was so angry that his teeth ached.
He tried to forcefully activate the power of the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword several times, but he failed. Li Mu had taken countless slashes with his body, so his body should have long turned into mincemeat. However, he was still full of energy now, and he seemed to be getting stronger every minute and second.
“Ah…”
He felt an unprecedented change taking place inside him.
He roared and threw a punch to unleash his power.
Boom!
Shocked, the lord of the Wind Clan placed the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword horizontally in front of him to block the punch.
As soon as Li Mu’s fist came into contact with the broadsword, something beyond the expectations of both Li Mu and the lord of the Wind Clan happened.
