The Inverted Dragon’s Scale Chapter 452-456

Chapter 452: The Emperor's opinion and public will!

There was an ancient proverb in the kingdom: To hide a lie, a thousand lies are needed.

Li Muyang, of course, did not use the 'Clumsy birds have to start flying early'.

He also would not have such baseless footwork at all.

In order to avoid Mu Dingyi's Free and unfettered swords, Li Muyang had no choice but to activate the Black dragon's 'Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain'.

It should be said that Dragons were divine beings that were born to soar to the Ninth Heaven, and the Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain was the most basic flying bodywork that every dragon should master.

The majority of the human race practiced qi to fly, or perhaps practiced sword to fly. There were also some divine objects and pets that could a.s.sist with flight.

However, flying was a unique talent of the Dragon clan, it was their innate ability.

Perhaps their fighting strength may be inferior to some powerful human martial artists, but based on the ability to escape——there was most likely n.o.body that can match up to them.

Li Muyang was naturally no match for Mu Dingyi. He did not have the slightest thought to counterattack Mu Dingyi's Free and unfettered swords.

However, it was at this moment that he fully displayed the Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain, which he had been painstakingly practicing for half a year.

He was like a divine dragon soaring in the sky, freely maneuvering up and down in the midst of the glints and shadows of swords, and the flashes of lightning and rolling thunder. He avoided Mu Dingyi's sword formation that was composed of the three Free and unfettered swords, and calmly retreated.

He had once again escaped from death.

From the beginning, no one had ever thought that Li Muyang would win.

Of course, Li Muyang also did not think about it.

He had calculated before and the best result was to use the Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain to escape from the battlefield. No matter what, he had to protect himself.

He just did not expect that, the battle had just begun, but Mu Dingyi's fierce swordsmans.h.i.+p had already forced him to use the Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain to escape.

"Shameless child." Elder Chengfeng roared, "You actually want to exchange your inferior martial arts for my 'Still water sword technique'?"

Li Muyang shot a cold glance at him. "Inferior martial arts can dodge your Old immortal's 'Still Water sword technique'? If my 'Dragon wounding fist' and 'Clumsy birds have to start flying early' are inferior martial arts, then how superior is your 'Still water sword technique'?"

"Li Muyang—— "

Li Muyang did not pay attention to the surrounding people, looked at Mu Dingyi to say: "You want to exchange?"

"No."

"Fine."

"The bodywork that Li Muyang just used are unheard of. I also have never seen them before." On the viewing platform, Cui Xichen turned to Chu Xianda. "I am also very curious what sort of bodywork is that? Why is it so wonderful? It allowed him to easily escape from Old immortal's Free and Unfettered sword. Moreover, when Li Muyang evaded the attacks, his movements were like that of a dragon playing in water, and there was a faint dragon cry with the wind——What is this magical martial arts?"

"How come I didn't hear any dragon cries? I couldn't even see a dragon playing in water." Lu Xingkong refuted. "It's not something that needs to be concealed anyway. Li Muyang has already answered Old immortal's question. That punch is the Dragon wounding fist, which was taught by the Dean of Starry Sky Academy. If someone doesn't believe it, then they can write to him to ask. As for this bodywork, it is called 'Clumsy birds have to start flying early', a technique that Li Muyang created himself. Li Muyang is a gifted youngster with outstanding talent, and have received guidance from the Starry Sky Academy teachers. It is not difficult to imagine that he created his own set of footwork. The Divine continent is vast, what could not happen? It's just whether you believe it or not."

"Everyone knows he talks nonsense. Does he think we're three years old?"

"Since you think he talks nonsense, then you should tell your Majesty what punch that was? And what was the footwork?"

"It will come out eventually." Cui Xichen's sight s.h.i.+fted to Li Muyang on the Sword G.o.d Square, "it'll only takes another sword strike from Old immortal."

Mu Dingyi was indeed ready to launch another sword attack.

He looked at Li Muyang and said aloud, "Your talent is rare in the world. No matter what punch you made, no matter what the footwork is called, it is still from your hard work. There is nothing to be criticised. The reason why I made an inquiry was just to find out what is going on, and to satisfy my curiosity."

"Since you do not want to talk, then I will not ask anymore. Today, I have met my match. Now, please take another sword of mine again. If you can take this sword, the battle will be over." "

The square was empty and vast, therefore Mu Dingyi's voice naturally spread widely.

"Did you hear? Old immortal said that he had met his match today——he actually said that Li Muyang is his match——"

"Li Muyang can die without regret——die without regret——

"I didn't expect Li Muyang to be this strong——The Starry Sky Academy really has the power to change something rotten into something magical?" ——

On the Stargazing observatory.

A frail girl sat by the windowsill, resting her cheek in the palm of her hand.

Her gaze was fixed on the handsome man on the Sword G.o.d Square as she whispered, "The first time I saw him, I already thought he was special. But I could not say why he was special——and then, thinking back, his eyes are particularly bright, and his smile is particularly warm. Although it was our first encounter, but it felt like we already knew each other a long time ago. He doesn't make people feel unfamiliar at all. One can't help but get close to him, as though——he is a brother who dotes on me. The same as Third elder brother and Second elder brother."

"Chenxi——" Song Tao did not like his little sister constantly mentioning Li Muyang. The more she talked about him, the less he liked him. Hearing his precious little sister constantly talking about another man gave him a very sour feeling.

"Chenxi feels that he is a peer and a companion who had grown up with me. It is only today that I know he's this strong——At his age, he can already 'match' up to Old immoral——In the divine continent, isn't Li Muyang the best of the younger generation?"

"Chenxi, don't talk nonsense. There are countless cultivators in the world. How can he be ranked at the top?"

"The Divine continent is vast, I don't know about the other places. But, at least he's the best in our West Wind, right? Does Third elder brother have another candidate?"

Song Tao pondered for a while, and then sighed out loud.

He could not think of a better youngster than Li Muyang, nor could he think of someone of similar age who was more powerful than Li Muyang.

There was no way he could shamelessly say his own name out loud.

"So what if he's the best in West Wind?" A cold voice sounded from behind and a youngster in green was seen opening the door. Looking over the Sword G.o.d Square, he uttered, "Since he's going to die anyway."

"Tinyun." Song Tao turned around to look at the young man who came in and asked, "Didn't you go to the old mansion to accompany Grandfather? Why are you here?"

"How can I miss such a good show?" Song Tinyun answered.

Song Tao, noticing the icy cold expression on Song Tinyun's face, gently sighed.

"Li Muyang will definitely be able to take this sword." The maiden said softly, putting her palms together and prayed——

"Muyang——" Lu Qingming, holding his hands in fists, looked at his son with a worried face. He knew that he was not badly wounded because if any one of the three swords had struck Li Muyang, then he would have been killed already.

But the more he thought, the more worried he was.

Because Li Muyang was still alive, there was hope as long as he was alive.

But this hope——also makes people despair.

Lu Qingming clenched his fists, stormed over to the battle platform, and fell to his knees with a thud in front of the West Wind emperor Chu Xianda.

Thud——

Lu Qingming's huge body knelt down on the stone platform, crunching the snow on the ground.

Lu Qingming's eyes were red as he raised his head. He requested in a hoa.r.s.e voice: "Your Majesty, can you put a stop to this battle?"

"Qingming, what are you doing?" Chu Xianda first glanced at Lu Xingkong, then asked in a loud voice.

"Your Majesty, at this point in the battle, Li Muyang has already shown remarkable combat ability and cultivation talent. Even Old immortal said he had met his 'match', which shows how excellent Li Muyang is. Li Muyang is the Li Muyang of Starry Sky Academy, the Li Muyang of my West Wind Kingdom, and the Li Muyang of Your Majesty. As Your Majesty has just said, the West Wind is founded by martial arts, and there are many commendations and gifts to those who practice martial arts. But why is that Li Muyang is treated like this?"

Lu Qingming slammed his head against the stone ground.

Because the force was too fierce and he did not want to use the essential qi to protect his body, Lu Qingming's forehead was dripping blood. He ignored it and cried, "Li Muyang is still young, he has a lot of room for growth, let him practice for another 3-5 years in Starry Sky Academy and he would become a pillar of West Wind. Perhaps he could protect the people of a city, or ensure peace at the frontier. Your Majesty, you only need to give him some time, give him a few years, then he can serve your majesty——I ask Your Majesty to cease the battle."

"I ask your Majesty to cease the battle." Behind Lu Qingming, General Long Qi also knelt down, asking for an imperial order.

"I ask your Majesty to cease the battle." Behind Lu Qingming, the mighty general Cai Yueguan also knelt down.

"I ask your Majesty to cease the battle."

Thud——

Behind Lu Qingming, all the Generals of the Lu family all fell to their knees.

"I ask Your Majesty to cease the battle.

Thud——

Around the Sword G.o.d Square, all the people who could not bear to see Li Muyang killed were all on their knees.

Millions of people united in one purpose.

Many people had knelt down just to ask for the battle to stop, ask to not kill Li Muyang.

Chu Xianda was hesitant, his gaze s.h.i.+fting between Lu Qingming and Lu Xingkong who was sat next to him. He suspected that the old fellow next to him had ordered his son to act this way.

After a long while, Chu Xianda looked at Lu Xingkong and asked, "Defense minister, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the public will can't be ignored." Lu Xingkong pointed to the generals and the civilians, who were kneeling all over the Sword G.o.d Square.

He got up from his chair and then knelt down in front of Chu Xianda.

"I ask Your Majesty to issue an imperial order to cease the battle."

"This——" Chu Xianda's expression rapidly changed, and then he finally made up his mind: "Since everyone has this request, then I——"

"Your Majesty—" Prince Fu smiled, looking at Chu Xianda, "Your Majesty, a battle is a matter of two people. Your Majesty, why not ask Old immortal? If Old immortal also feels that this battle should end, then it is not too late for Your Majesty to do so."

"Yes, Your majesty. Old Immortal rarely comes out, if the battle was to end like that——he would certainly be unhappy. If this worldly affair were to affect his cultivation, then it would be a great loss to West wind." Cui Xichen also dissuaded him.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Chu Xianda was helpless.

One side were the military generals, and the other side were the civilian court officials. Adding to this the Still water sword school was the Imperial Sword school. He had to give face to the Still water sword school, and even more had to give face to Old immortal——

Chu Xianda rose to his feet and looked at Mu Dingyi in the sky, asking, "Old immortal Mu, all people have asked me to cease the battle, may you wish to agree to their request?"

"If I agreed to their request, my thoughts will be unclear and muddled." Mu Dingyi replied, his face expressionless.

He looked at Li Muyang, saying "Do you dare to receive another sword of mine?"

"Don't dare." Li Muyang stated in a loud voice. "Who doesn't know that Old immortal of Still water is unbeatable. Since you say it is the last sword, then the power of the last sword will certainly be stronger than the previous swords——It was already incredibly difficult for me to receive the previous swords, and several times it almost landed on my head. If I don't have to take the last sword, then I naturally would be ecstatic."

"Besides——" Li Muyang continued, pointing to the kneeling crowd on the Sword G.o.d Square, "Public will is hard to ignore. Everyone wants this fight to stop, everyone wants Li Muyang to live, even His Majesty said a few words to save the little life of Li Muyang——I would like to courageously shout 'I dare'. But how could I be so impulsive? How could I treat my life as a joke? And how could you I let down those who knelt down for me?"

"So, Old immortal Mu, please have mercy on me?"

"——" Mu Dingyi stared at Li Muyang, regretting why he didn't issue his last sword earlier.

He planned to force Li Muyang to take up the challenge in front of everyone, and then kill him with one sword.

In that case, even if he died, then it would be his fault, his decision. Even the West Wind Emperor Chu Xianda could not do anything at that time.

What youngster doesn't have a bit of a temper?

What he didn't expect was that Li Muyang would be so 'spiritless'.

To think that Li Muyang would force him to cease the battle with public will and the Emperor's opinion, and to have mercy on him

If he did not show mercy, that would be going against the public will and the Emperor's opinion——

Mu Dingyi's heart was like water.

Like boiling hot water.

Chapter 453: Tens of thousands of swords covered the sky!  

Wind City. The City Lord's residence.  

The City Lord's residence was also Wind City's military residence because Wind city was close to the frontier of the Peac.o.c.k Empire, and the two countries often had disputes and conflicts. In order to defend the people at the border, the West Wind Kingdom had stationed ma.s.sive military forces there.  

Back then, the genius king of the Peac.o.c.k imperial court, Ying Qianhu, suddenly united with the Tawu country to swallow up West wind and Daizhao, the two countries that they share a common border with. At that time, under the command of the ninth prince Chu Yufeng, they fought back and finally led a large number of heroes to battle against the Peac.o.c.k King in Wind city. The Generals who followed Chu Yufeng were all rewarded according to merits, and their fame and deeds were written into the historical records.

At that time, the ancestor of the Lu clan Lu Fengshou was only a little guard in Wind city, who followed Chu Yufeng onto the battlefield. He had fought thousands of battles, established outstanding achievements in the war, and eventually became a top General who commanded all military forces.

And the Cui family's ancestor Cui Yu was originally a military leader of the Prince mansion, who followed Chu Yu north and south. Cui Yu was Chu Yufeng's shadow and s.h.i.+eld. When Chu Yufeng went up to kill the enemy, Cui Yu led the troops to fight on the front line, used his body to block and had again and again dragged Chu Yufeng out from the pile of dead people.

After Chu Yufeng had won tremendous successes, he also became a shadow behind Chu Yufeng. Everyone knew of his existence, but did not know where he existed.  

Chu Yufeng bestowed the position of Head of the Monitor Division on him because of his loyalty and bravery, and it was at that time that the name of Monitor Division first appeared in West Wind Kingdom. The role a.s.signed to the Monitor Division was to monitor the hundreds of officials and the army. The power of this position was too great, and could make one live and die with one thought. Almost everyone was afraid of him.

Chu Yufeng gave the military forces to the Lu family and the power of the Monitor Division to the Cui family. Later, the imperial family was married to the most powerful and richest Song family, who were later bestowed with the position of minister and took control of the civil officials system and issued decree to the citizens on behalf of the Emperor.

The three powers stood like the three legs of a tripod, but were also like three tigers fighting against each other.

Chu Yufeng slept peacefully and free of worries, and after his death, the Kingdom and power that he had established continued for thousands of years.

The Lu clan was born in Wind City and also raised in Wind city.

Although the core figures of the Lu clan had all moved to live in Tiandu, but the Lu clan's ancestral temple was still in Wind city. The head of the Lu family would choose an outstanding descendant as the City Lord of Wind city to guard the old mansion of the Lu family and to protect the frontier for the Kingdom.

Lu Wuyoung was the current City Lord of Wind city, an outstanding descendant personally selected by Lu Xingkong.

Lu Wuyong was only around 40 years old, but because of the harsh wind and sand in Wind city during the autumn and winter season, the fierce sun during the spring and summer seasons, and that he often hangs around the military encampment, Lu Wuyong had dark skin and his beard made him look imposing and domineering.  

"The north wind swooped down and the white gra.s.s snapped, snowfall begins in the eight month in Wind city——I heard that the snow is also particularly heavy in Tiandu this year. How is everyone?"

Lu Wuyong was drinking tea and enjoying the snow in the study, when a servant came to report that the Young Master had returned from Tiandu.   

Lu Wuyong did not lift his head up, saying, "Tell him to come to the study.

"Yes, City Lord." "

Very quickly, clad in a black combat outfit, a weary-looking Lu Lin came into the study, bowing and paying respect to his Father.

"Father, son is back," Lu Lin said respectfully.

"The journey to Tiandu is far. I asked you to offer birthday congratulations on my behalf, it must have been tiring." Lu Wuyong gazed at his son with a glad look in his eyes.  

"It's a child's duty to help Father with his worries and difficulties, how would it be tiring?" Lu Lin said with a smile.

"Well. Tell me carefully about what you've seen and heard in Tiandu. From the moment you step into Tiandu, don't cover up any details." Lu Wuyong said in a low voice. "

"Yes, father." Lu Lin, after organising his thoughts, began to recount his trip from the moment he stepped through the Tiandu city gate. He told his Father everything, from the situation in Tiandu, the Lu family's treatment to him, the relations.h.i.+p between various sides and all kinds of rumours he had heard in Tiandu.  

Lu Wuyoung listened very carefully, and every now and then furrowed his brows.  

When Lu Lin finished, Lu Wuyong asked aloud, "that Li Muyang——is really so amazing?"

"There were originally undercurrents bubbling in Tiandu, but since that Li Muyang came to Tiandu, all the wind and clouds had gathered around him." Lu Lin said with a smile. "I left on a hummingbird after offering birthday congratulations and only arrived in Wind City today. Calculating the time, today happens to be the day of the showdown between Li Muyang and Old immortal Mu Dingyi of Still water sword school——In my humble opinion, when the battle ends, it will be the beginning of a conflict. Father has to be prepared."

Lu Wuyong's thick brows were once again deeply scrunched together. "You think it would be difficult for the Lu clan to get through this?"

"Father——" Lu Lin's expression was serious, whispering: "The Lu clan is now a target, as long as Grandfather Lu holds onto the military power and unwilling to let go, those people will not let leave our Lu clan alone——"

"Even if we let go of the military power, will the Lu clan have a good ending?"

"This——Son does not know."

Lu Wuyong again sank into deep thought, then asked after a long while: "What cultivation realm is that Li Muyang in?"

"High Mountain." Lu Lin answered.

"What?" Lu Wuyong was stunned.

"I deliberately asked Uncle Qingming. He said he is in the High Mountain realm, and also just reached the High Mountain realm."  

"Wasn't it rumoured that he defeated Mu Yubai of the Still water sword school?"

"That's what all the people in Tiandu say." Lu Lin said. "But I suspect it was a way for the Lu family to make him famous. To deal with a powerful master like Mu Yubai, they would need to call out the 'Three Souls and Seven Spirits' that are always with Grandfather Lu, right? They must have ordered the Three Souls and Seven Spirits to surround Mu Yubai, and then put all the credit onto Li Muyang alone. It is said that at that time the apprentice of thousand-faced poison King Miss Hong Xiu was also at the scene——she also helped Li Muyang."

"Three Souls and Seven Spirits——" Lu Wuyong let out a gentle sigh. "I'm really curious what kind of people they are."

"This time, I'm afraid they're going to reveal their ident.i.ties?"

"No matter what the situation is in Tiandu, Wind City can't be messed up. If Wind city is in chaos, then it is over for the Lu clan, and there will no longer be a place for the Lu clan to stand in West Wind."

"What does Father mean?"

Lu Wuyong waved his hand, "A girl called s.h.i.+nian had been sent here from Tiandu——"

"Ah? Li s.h.i.+nian?" Lu Lin exclaimed.

Lu Wuyong noticed the excitement in his son's eyes and said, "Go and greet the guest."

"Yes. Father." Lu Lin hurriedly went outside.

Lu Wuyong walked to the window, looking at the bare iron cherry blossom trees in the courtyard, and was silent for a long while before he shouted: "Come."

"City Lord." A black-robed man appeared behind Lu Wuyong

"Notify the messenger, I will meet them tonight.""

"Yes." The body of the man in black turned into a cloud of smoke and then disappeared in the study—————

—————————–

Li s.h.i.+nian was sitting in a snow-wrapped stone pavilion, eyes dull and restless.

She had learned what was going on, and remembered the bowl of chicken soup that her brother gave them.

Calculating the time, today was the day of the duel between her brother and the old monster of Still water sword school.

"Did Brother win?"

"Will my brother lose?"

"Can my brother survive——"

The same question was transformed into tens of thousands of question in her mind.

She had never been so worried.

When her brother disappeared in the illusion, everyone told her that Li Muyang was dead, but she didn't believe it. She believed her brother would be alive and would come back to find them.

As expected, her brother came back in the way she expected.

This time it was different from the past.

The last time it was unknown, this time it was known.

She knew the gap between her brother and the old monster, and she knew that the old monster would not let go of her brother easily——

The unknown world can depend on luck.

The known world depends on strength.

Brother, does he have the strength to defeat the old monster of Still water?

In the eve of the battle he suddenly sent us away, does that mean Brother did not have the confidence to win?

"Brother——" Li s.h.i.+nian put her palms together, muttering, "Must live."

"Worried about your brother?" A man's voice suddenly sounded behind.

Li s.h.i.+nian suddenly turned around, saw that it was Lu Lin standing behind, and asked in a surprised tone: "Gongzi Lu, how come you're here?"

"This is my house." Lu Lin smiled softly, "I should be the one asking——why would Miss s.h.i.+nian be here?" "

"I——" It was only then that Li s.h.i.+nian came to her senses.

"I understand." Lu Lin stopped Li s.h.i.+nian trying to answer the difficult question and said with a smile, "I know you're distraught at this time, so I specially told people to bring over some tea and cakes, I will wait with you."

"Gongzi Lu you don't need to."

"Miss s.h.i.+nian doesn't need to be polite with me. You are a guest, I naturally should be taking good care of my guest."

With the wave of his hand, the servants who followed him brought over all kinds of cakes and hot tea.

"Is Miss s.h.i.+nian cold?"  

"No."

"Go bring the Fire lion heart from my room." Lu Lin said with a smile. "During the battle against the Marquis of the Peac.o.c.k Empire, I mistakenly came to the Sky fire summit, but coincidentally met a male Fire lion. I killed the Fire lion and took its heart. This item emits warmth, Miss s.h.i.+nian will not feel cold."

"Gongzi Lu, there really is no need for this——"

"Miss s.h.i.+nian——" Lu Lin looked at Li s.h.i.+nian, the corners of his mouth curled with a faint smile. "Why keep a thousand miles of distance from me?"

Li s.h.i.+nian suddenly looked up at Lu Lin, "Gongzi Lu, what do you mean?"

"My feelings towards you, does Miss s.h.i.+nian really not know?"

———————

Tiandu. Lu residence.

Gongsun Yu also did not go to Sword G.o.d Square today

Not only did she not go, she also did not let her young son Lu Tianyu go.

This made Lu Tianyu quite disgruntled, like a little beast trapped in a cage, he stomped around the house, sighing.

"Mother, can you let me go and see it?" Lu Tianyu asked again. He went over and took Gongsun Yu's hand, "I'll only watch from afar. Father and Grandpa are there, it will be fine."

"No."

"Why?"

"There is no reason."

"Mother——"  

Gongsun Yu took a deep look at Lu Tianyu and said: "I have decided, don't ask again."

"Yes. Mother." Lu Tianyu sat beside her mother and waited with her.

Although he did not know what he was waiting for.

"Mother, say, do you think Big Brother Li Muyang will win?"

Hearing Lu Tianyu address Li Muyang as 'Big brother', Gongsun Yu's mood was slightly better. She reached out to hold her son's chubby little hand and rea.s.sured softly: "Will win. He will certainly win."

"But they say that the old monster of Still water is very powerful——"

"Your Big brother Muyang is more powerful." Gongsun Yu said firmly, "because, he was born extraordinary."

Lu Tianyu looked at his mother in puzzlement, and thought, how could he be born extraordinary?

Isn't he just the son of a servant?

However, for some reason, seeing the expression on his Mother's face, he did not have the courage to ask about his puzzlement————

—————————–

"So, Old immortal Mu, let little boy, I, go, what do you say?"

Li Muyang forcibly demanded for the battle to end, and asked Mu Dingyi to let him go.

From the beginning to the present, this duel was the decision of Mu Dingyi alone, Li Muyang had never thought to compare himself against a master like him.

At this point, Mu Dingyi was naturally unwilling to let Li Muyang go.

He planned to sever Li Muyang to revive the reputation of Still water sword school, and also to avenge his son, who was carelessly defeated by Li Muyang and was now in a self-closing state unwilling to wake up——

However, the fact that several consecutive swords could not kill Li Muyang had already damaged his prestige and reputation.

When Li Muyang earned his prestige, it was the process of his prestige falling. As they say, when one is rising, the other is falling.

From the Viewing platform, to the Sword G.o.d Square, and to the mountainside of Mist Mountain.

From the Emperor, to the Generals, and to the civilians.

All line of sight and attention were gathered on Mu Dingyi.

Whether the battle continues or not decided by him.

Mu Dingyi's line of sight was fixed only on Li Muyang, saying: "This battle——will continue."

"This battle will continue."

This was Mu Dingyi's answer to Li Muyang.

This was also Mu Dingyi's answer to the Emperor of West Wind Chu Xianda and all the people who had knelt down.

This battle will continue!

Continue till one dies!

He still planned to strike out that last sword!  

"Did you hear? He said the battle continues?" Someone said out loud.

"Why do you have to kill Li Muyang?" Someone kneeling on the ground cried out in indignation, "Old Immortal, why must you kill Li Muyang? Are you afraid of being replaced by him?"

"Old Immortal——how can you disappoint the public like that—"——

Mu Dingyi looked at Li Muyang. "Take another sword of mine."

His body floated in the air, looking up at the sky, his eyes closed, and his hands stretched toward both sides.

The wind howled.

The snowflakes whirled.

The snow that had stopped for half a day, once again appeared before everyone.

In the sky, two powerful streams of blue qi gushed out from Mu Dingyi's hands, drilling into the ground of the Sword G.o.d Square.

Crackle——

There were countless cracks spreading across the hard lapis floor of the Sword G.o.d Square, and as the blue qi poured in, the cracks multiplied and grew.

Mu Dingyi thrust both hands forward with force.

Whoosh——

A mottled steel sword drilled out of the gap and sprang up.

Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh ——

Countless steel swords similarly penetrated through the gap, and leapt toward the sky.

Tens of thousands of swords covered the sky, the blade aiming directly at Li Muyang on the ground and completely shrouded overhead.

Chapter 454: Never to be seen again!

It was said that the founder of 'Still water sword technique' Mu Gubei chose to establish the school on Mist Mountain. It took three years and thousands of people to build this Sword G.o.d Square. He had personally put tens of thousands of steel swords into the bottom of the ground as the foundation. This was to obtain the sword qi of these swords and that the disciples of the sword school can attack with sword intent.

The Sword G.o.d Square was also named after this.

Now, in order to defeat Li Muyang, the last sword of Mu Dingyi was one that unexpectedly drew out the tens of thousands of swords under the foundation to form a sword formation.

This was to reach his goal no matter what.

Tens of thousands of steel swords filled the sky, like an army of thousands soldiers, waiting for Mu Dingyi's order to launch an attack at Li Muyang.

"Mu Dingyi——" Lu Qingming roared, "You really have to go this far?"

Lu Xingkong's eyes flashed a piercing cold light as he hissed, "Mu Dingyi you dare to do this? Do you think our Lu family is easy to bully?"

Cui Xichen also did not expect Mu Dingyi to be this determined. He did not give face to the West Wind Emperor Chu Xianda. When Chu Xianda made it clear that he wants to let Li Muyang go, he still insisted on Li Muyang receiving his last sword——

Moreover, since he had brought out the tens of thousands of swords, then it was obvious that he wanted to sever Li Muyang into tens of thousands pieces, right?

Prince Fu's face was crossed with astonishment, and then a ruthless smile curved his lips.  

"This really is interesting."

Chu Xun's face was also flushed with excitement. The battle he antic.i.p.ated had finally come.

In his view, the previous attacks and defenses were just games, and he had no interest in them at all.  

"That liar." Li Muyang looked at the forest of swords in the sky in shocked disbelief. "We agreed on one sword only, but you brought out a sword formation of tens of thousands of swords——living on to old age just to be a pest——"

Mu Dingyi had his eyes closed. He simply did not care about Li Muyang's noisy complaints and dissatisfaction.

He raised his hands horizontally, sending blue sword qi surging out from his palms.

The tens of thousands of swords, controlled by his strength, were quivering rapidly and producing melodious tinkling.

Of course, such a sound was not pleasant at all; it will only make people tremble all over.

When a woman, no matter how beautiful she is, holds out a blade to your chest, you will not feel that she's beautiful and instead there will be a strong sense of fear——

At this moment, Li Muyang was fearful of the power of the tens of thousands of swords.

Mu Dingyi clenched his hands into fists and the tens of thousands of swords immediately screeched and rotated.

They formed a huge vortex, like a giant tornado made up from the rolling sword qi current.

"Tens of thousands of sword unite——strike."

Mu Dingyi thrust out his hand, and the black tornado, made up of steel currents swept towards Li Muyang.

The wind was howling and the snow was whirling.

Li Muyang was standing in the middle of the Sword G.o.d Square, and at his foot were the cracks and trenches arranged in a crisscross pattern.

Compared with the high and mighty Mu Dingyi, he felt so small and insignificant.

Compared to the tornado that was engulfing over, he felt so weak and vulnerable.

His white robed flapped about and his black hair danced with the wind.

The bruises and scares on his face did not reduce his beauty, but added 30% of vigour and 70% of unswerving determination.

When the daughters from wealthy family saw Li Muyang, they couldn't help feeling pity for him. Each and every one of them wished to hug him tightly and comfort him.

Li Muyang felt  danger.

This one sword was not one sword.

It was an attack of tens of thousands of swords.

Tens of thousands of swords uniting into one.

He had fused together thousands of swords into one, and then formed an all-encompa.s.sing and innumerable sword formation to devour Li Muyang and tear him into shreds.

Scared?

He naturally was scared.

With the slightest carelessness, Li Muyang would be severed to pieces. His parents and sisters would most likely not even be able to find his complete body.

Most importantly, Li Muyang still had not thought of how to counterattack.  

He did not know how he should face the sword attack.  

Frighten Dragon Fist? The dragon would most likely be swallowed up by the tornado as soon as it charges out?

Mountain Shaking Fist?

'Authentic Scripture of Pervading Mystery'?

'The Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain'?

Or should he bring s...o...b..ll out to swallow up the tens of thousands of swords in a mouthful?

Of course, the best thing to do was to let s...o...b..ll come out to swallow the swords——but, what about afterwards?  

s...o...b..ll's ident.i.ty would be exposed. The heart of weak water would reappear in the divine continent, and at that time, Li Muyang would encounter attacks from cultivators all across the divine continent. In the end, he would be killed and s...o...b..ll would be taken away.

"Pffff——"

"Pfff——"  

s...o...b..ll, who was in his arms also felt the danger of the outside world, was constantly spitting out bubbles.

However, because it was put into the gla.s.s bottle that Li Muyang formed from essential yuan qi, it could not escape or come out and help.

Li Muyang felt a chill down his spine. As the tornado came right at him, all his hair stood on its ends.

He felt injustice, an irrepressible hostility in his heart.

"On what basis?"

"On what basis does he want to kill me?"

"On what basis do I deserve to die?"——  

"If you want to fight, then I will fight." Li Muyang roared to the sky, his eyes blood-red.

Crackle——

The hair-raising, spine-chilling tinkling of steel swords drew nearer and closer.

The pitch-black hole was right above his head, and could devour him in one gulp.

"Go die." Li Muyang punched out.

Rumble——

A white lightning dragon rammed towards the huge tornado.

As expected, Li Muyang's prediction was right.  

The black giant mouth of the tornado, made up of tens of thousands of swords, suddenly grew larger, devouring the huge white lightning dragon in one mouthful and then returned to their original position.

"Roar——"

He seemed to be able to hear the unwilling roar of the lightning dragon as it disappeared without a trace in the tornado.

As Li Muyang punched out, his body had already moved elsewhere.

The tornado, as though had grown a pair of eyes, followed after, opening its huge mouth to where Li Muyang was at.

Boom——

Li Muyang retaliated with another punch.

A towering mountain slammed towards the tornado. It was fierce and swift, as if aiming to perish together.

Mountain shaking fist!

Mu Dingyi shook his fist and loosened it, then flicked all ten fingers out.

Crackle——

The tornado of tens of thousands of swords all of a sudden dispersed into fragments, breaking up from a single individual and scattered towards both sides.

Hu——

The great mountain un.o.bstructedly slammed into the centre of the steel swords, flew skywards, higher and higher, until it disappeared completely.

Mu Dingyi clenched his hand into a fist once again.

Snapped——

The tens of thousands of swords were once again gathered, combined, a.s.sembled and rotated to form a powerful current of steel, turning into a steel tornado.

Once again, the huge tornado charged towards Li Muyang.

Boom Boom Boom——

Li Muyang punched out again and again, until he was exhausted, but there was still nothing else he could do.

Under the control of Mu Dingyi, the tens of thousands of steels swords were like living beings.

They could a.s.semble into a variety of formations, and a variety of sharp tools, looking for ways to sever Li Muyang to pieces.

Li Muyang fled, and they gave chase.

Li Muyang fought back, and it opened its mouth to devour all the power of his punches and anger.

Li Muyang moved at lightning speed. He had no time to care whether the people would suspect that he was activating The Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain. It was only through the unfathomable bodywork that he was able to evade the attacks of the tornado.

But, at one point, he would still be exhausted.

There was always an end to a day.

This high-intensity way of fighting had rapidly consumed his essential qi.

Everyone saw that Li Muyang was exhausted.

Everyone saw that Li Muyang was moving slower than before.

Everyone saw that Li Muyang's counterattack was getting weaker.

Everyone knew that Li Muyang was in deadly danger. Li Muyang was on the verge of death.

Li Muyang was panting.

Li Muyang stumbled and nearly fell.

Li Muyang was riddled with scars, clothes ragged and soaked in blood.

Li Muyang——

He couldn't withstand any longer.

"It's not that Li Muyang is too weak, but that his opponent is too strong——"

"Li Muyang is a rare genius, but unfortunately he met Mu Dingyi——"

"Old Immortal, let Li Muyang go——please have mercy on him——"

Some people murmured, and some wept bitterly.

Li Muyang, a poor and ordinary youngster who rapidly became a well-known genius youngster, was going to perish today.

The genius was going to be killed and the miracle destroyed.

All of a sudden, Mu Dingyi clapped his hands together, and then raised them high toward the sky.

Crackle——

The tens of thousands of swords began to change shape, converging toward his hands, and then turned into an endless giant sword.

Mu Dingyi looked at Li Muyang, there was admiration in his eyes, but there was more of pity.

"It's over."

Mu Dingyi swung his hands down.

The giant sword made of tens of thousands of steel swords sped towards him with the force of thunder and lightning.

Li Muyang darted fast and fled desperately.

He ran with all his strength and was as miserable looking as a stray dog.

He fled towards the Viewing platform where the West Wind Emperor Chu Xianda was sat, as he knew he was his only chance of survival.

Because he knew that even if Mu Dingyi wanted to kill him, he had to hold back his strength where Chu Xianda was located.

However, no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult for him to escape from the shroud of the giant sword.

Boom——

A huge hole on the Sword G.o.d Square appeared where the giant sword struck.

Rumble——

The Sword G.o.d Square was split into two, and even the mountainside of Mist Mountain was affected.

In the depths of the trenches, there were still crackle and rumbling.

The remaining sword qi continued to split the rocks, and the rocks above tumbled down the pit.

The Emperor and the Flying feather army behind him as well as the civilians on the high platform were divided into two groups, and the n.o.ble families near the Sword G.o.d Square and the civilians far from the square were divided into two groups.

The Monitoring Division, who was in front of the Emperor, and the Flying feather army, which stood in front of the civilians, were divined in two groups.

Brothers, families and friends were divided into two groups.

The great trench had divided the Mist Mountain into two worlds.

Everyone held their breath.

All eyes were wide with shock.

Everyone stared blankly in front at the——natural chasm.

After a long while.

A delicate voice from the Star gazing platform broke the silence, exclaiming: "Li Muyang is gone".

It was only then that everybody discovered that Li Muyang's figure had disappeared from the Sword G.o.d Square.

It was as thought he was struck by that earth-shaking sword into pile of red mud, a wisp of smoke.

Never to be seen again!  

Chapter 455: The Wolf King reappears!

Shatter——

Luo Qi was too deep in thought that she dropped the plum blossom porcelain teacup to the ground.

It was only then that she snapped out of her trance, and hurriedly crouched down to clean up  

"Ahh——"

Luo Qi cried out. The fragments of porcelain had cut her finger, bright red blood seeping out her.

Li Yan darted through the door, pulled Luo Qi up from the ground, and asked in a concern voice, "How did you get hurt? Be careful. If you need anything, just tell me. I'll help you."

He fumbled out a small white bottle from his pocket, and dripped the medicine in the bottle onto the wound on the tip of her finger. He then went to take out a clean piece of cotton cloth to wrap around Luo Qi's injured finger. "Do not get it wet."

"I'm fine." Luo Qi said distractedly, "I often cut myself when I had the bun shop in Jiangnan."

"Even if you have cut yourself in the past, does that mean you can continue to get hurt now?"

Luo Qi was taken aback. She didn't expect her taciturn husband to say such moving words.  

She looked at Li Yan, her eyes filled with tears as she cried, "Muyang is fighting with someone, and I feel——I feel he's in danger."

"It's going to be okay." Li Yan firmly held his wife's hand and rea.s.sured her in a comforting voice, "It's going to be okay. Elder Lu and Master Lu are extremely caring towards Muyang, they will not allow anything to happen to Muyang."

Tears coursed down Luo's face as she choked up, "If he gets through this, we'll return the son to them——I also have to accept my fate."

Li Yan wrapped his arm around his wife's incessantly trembling shoulders, an incredibly pained feeling in his heart.

As a father, he hated his powerlessness at this moment——

————————-

Mu Dingyi's sword had split the Sword G.o.d Square in half, and a huge trench had divided the ground.

Li Muyang had vanished.

No one knew whether his disappearance was due to the invincible sword qi of the tens of thousands of swords that united as one, or because of the great deep pit that was of unfathomable depth.

He had rose quickly and fell quickly.

He had drawn a colourful mark in the lives of the people of Tiandu, and soon would be forgotten.

"Is Li Muyang dead?"

"He is certainly dead, that sword just now——almost split Mist Mountain into two halves, how would he survive that?"

"Still water Old immortal——is too amazing, Li Muyang is just too unlucky——"

"Muyang." Lu Qingming flew up and darted to the trench where the giant sword had split.

He crouched down on the edge of the deep trench and yelled inside, "Muyang——Li Muyang——"

There was no answer.

The sword pit was dark and narrow, and difficult to see inside. There were rocks rolling down from above, and incessant roars from the mountainside.

Lu Qingming's eyes were blood-red, rus.h.i.+ng into the inside of the pit.

"General——" The soldiers tried to stop him.

Lu Qingming dodged the falling boulders, and after inspecting the inside of the sword pit he failed to find any traces of Li Muyang.

He could not even see his body.

Lu Qingming sprang out of the sword pit, stretched out his hand and a long silver spear swiftly came to his hand from the Ninth Heaven.

Lu Qingming lifted his silver spear high up, yelling to Mu Dingyi in the sky: "Mu Dingyi, did you not want to kill everyone? Then kill me too——"

Mu Dingyi was still standing tall in the sky.

He had brought out the tens of thousands of swords buried deep in the bottom of the Sword G.o.d Square and borrowed the sword qi as well as the deep spiritual qi of Mist Mountain to unite the tens of thousands of sword into one, in order to kill genius youngster Li Muyang.

After the victory, Mu Dingyi maintained a calm look across his face. There was neither joy or sorrow.

However, the calmer he was, the more the people felt that he had the manner of a powerful martial arts master.

Anybody who saw the shocking sword strike that he had just launched out had to seriously ponder about one question——whether they could bear his sword.

Li Muyang had lost.

Li Muyang had died.

This was exactly what everyone expected.

It was only that it was little later than what everyone expected.

What was unexpected was that Lu Qingming's mood would be so agitated after the disappearance of Li Muyang.

Wasn't he just a child of a servant? Do you have to be concerned?

The Lu clan was a family of generals for generations. They had countless soldiers and generals under their command. Would they be worried that they would have no one to work for the Lu family?  

Besides, Lu Qingming had witnessed the power of Mu Dingyi, yet he still dared to point his spear to the sky and challenge Mu Dingyi——This behavior was not like that of a provincial governor, let alone the response that a mature official figure should have.

Lu Xingkong's eyes were also red, clenching and loosening his fists.

By the time he lifted his head to look at the sky, the fury and grief had already disappeared from his face, but there was still a strong killing intent contained in his eyes, as he said to Lu Qingming in a low voice, "Qingming, come back."  

Lu Qingming refused to retreat, pointed his spear to Mu Dingyi and hissed, "Old man Mu Dingyi, do you dare to fight with me?"

"Nonsense."

"You dare insult our Old immortal, I will fight you instead."

"Victory or defeat is a common occurrence, could it be that the Lu family cannot take defeat?"

Mu Dingyi cast an indifferent glance at Lu Qingming, uttering, "You are no match for me."

"Old man——" Lu Qingming, armed with a long spear, soared to the high alt.i.tude to fight to death with Mu Dingyi.

Lu Qingming felt heartbroken, he had finally got his son back but before they could reunite, the old man had killed him.

If his wife learned the news, she most likely wouldn't be able to continue to live anymore, right?

People dead, family destroyed.

What was the point of being alive?

Even if he died in battle, he was going to rip a piece of flesh off the old man.

"Lu Qingming, don't be disrespectful." Elder Chengfeng snapped, soaring into the air.

"I'll fight you." Li Xiuwei, one of the three wild guests of Still water, charged over, wielding a long sword.

"Why use a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken?" Stone gentleman, s.h.i.+ Tao also flew to the high alt.i.tude.

Cha——

Among the team of Generals, there were dozens of generals drawing their swords at the same time, one after another, unleas.h.i.+ng fighting qi and incomparable killing intent. The instant that Lu Qingming issued an order, they were ready to charge up to sever the still water maniacs into minced flesh.

Cha——

The hundreds of white-robed disciples of Still water sword school unsheathed their sword, preparing to go head to head. A great battle was about to break out.

No one expected that the situation would develop to such a dangerous point?

Now, it was no longer a battle between Li Muyang and Mu Dingyi.

Rather a conflict and battle between the thousands of white-robed disciples of the Sword G.o.d family's Still water sword school and the Lu family who was in charge of the military power of West Wind——

If these two forces were to clash, it would be a great disaster for the West Wind imperial Family and the Kingdom.  

On Stargazing observatory, Song Tinyun looked at the lively scene on the Sword Go Square with a mocking smile. "Military fellows are military fellows, they are all brutish. Now it's really when dog bites dog each gets a mouthful of fur."

Song Tao's face was solemn, "if the Lu family and the Still water sword school were to fight on the Sword G.o.d Square, the subsequent impact would be shocking. This is not a family matter or a mater of a school, but a huge matter of the Kingdom——If Lu Xingkong of the Lu family also helped out, can he withstand the deadly sword of Mu Dingyi? And the influence of the Lu family in the army is deeply rooted, can the Still water sword school bear the retaliation?"

"Li Muyang is gone." Song Chenxi's little face had gone pale. "How would Li Muyang be missing?"

"Chenxi——"

"I'm going down." Song Chenxi cried out.  

"No."

Song Tinyun and Song Tao disagreed at the same time.

Song Tao's expression eased a little, looking at Song Chenxi with a gentle face he softly persuaded: "Chenxi, its dangerous down there, and your health is not good, if you catch a cold, Grandfather will blame us——"  

"If you can't see upstairs, what can you see downstairs?" Song Tinyun remarked in a loud voice.

"I'm going down." Song Chenxi repeated in a firm voice——

Lu Qingming was like a wounded wolf, also like an enraged lion, his eyes were fierce and pupils were filled with red blood.

The silver spear in his hand was buzzing, and a purple flame was blazing above the head of the spear.

It was the reaction of pouring his anger and tremendous essential qi towards the silver spear.

He did not pay the slightest attention to the disciples of Still water sword school, and the silver spear only pointed to Mu Dingyi: "Old man, you would do whatever it takes to kill a child. And now you're afraid to take my challenge?"

Mu Dingyi let out a gentle sigh, looked at Lu Qingming and said: "You should know that you're no match for me."

"Is that right? Then let me try your 'Still water sword technique'. I would like to see whether your tens of thousands of steel swords could sever the neck of I, Lu Qingming."

"Lu Qingming, you have repeatedly insulted our Still water Old immortal, you can't blame I, Li Xiuwei for being impolite." Li Xiuwei, one of the three wild guests, was the one with the most violent temper. Clasping a long sword, he charged towards Lu Qingming.

"Get lost." Lu Qingming roared without even turning his head.

"Lu Qingming, today either you die or I die——"

Boom—

All of a sudden there was a rumble of boulders coming from the sword pit.

Everyone turned to the sword pit and didn't know exactly what was going on.

Bang——

Countless large and small rocks spouted out of the sword pit, shooting in all directions.

At the same time, a huge monster covered with red hair darted to the sky with the rocks.

In the sky, the tremendous red beast roared, producing a terrifying 'ow'.

It had a wolf head, a lion body, and was as large as a giant ox.

Its four giant legs were paddling in the air, and four red flames were blazing under its hooves.

"Ow——" It opened its mouth once again, roaring at all the people on the Sword G.o.d Square.

Clatter——

Impacted by the strong sound wave and deterred by its imposing manner, everyone could not help but retreat back a few steps.  

"Look——" A beautiful maiden's voice came from the Stargazing observatory, "Li Muyang is on that monster."

Chapter 456: Blood in the snow!

"Ow——"

The Wolf King roared, and the tens of thousands of beast fell silent.

Across the mountainside of Mist Mountain and the valley of the forest, all animals knelt to the ground in fear, afraid to look up.

There were countless wolves rus.h.i.+ng out onto the empty and precipitous cliffs, roaring in the direction of where the wolf of the red moon was.

"Ow——"

They could tell from the voice that it was the King of the wolf clan, a powerful presence that they had never experienced before.

The Wolf of the Red Moon, the King of the Red Wolf, the guest from the illusion of water, the one who could absorb the light of the red moon and live forever with the red moon.

It was a semi-divine being like the dragon.

Or perhaps, it was a little more powerful than the dragon.  

Because the life of the Dragon was limited and the life span of the Red wolf was infinite. Moreover, its body was a body of energy, which was similar to the heart of weak water. An energy body will never disappear or perish.

However, the Wolf of the Red Moon Wolf did not have a body as strong as that of the dragon, nor was it as powerful.  Moreover, the Dragon was exceptional in learning, and was an animal of high intelligence, which the Red wolf was far inferior to.  

However, since his encounter with Li Muyang and his ancestor, the wolf had undergone a subversive change.

The encounter with a dragon had harmed his life!

Or rather, the Dragon clan had oppressed him hundreds and thousands of times, and he had treated the Dragon clan as his first love.

He lent his wolf pearl to Li Muyang and protected him in the void of the heart of the weak water. In the end, Li Muyang tricked him into letting the heart of the weak water swallow him, which he said would allow him to absorb the water elements of the Heart of Weak water.

The good thing was that the little s...o...b..ll, though small in size, had a big appet.i.te.

After the tremendous Wolf of the Red moon was swallowed in one gulp, s...o...b..ll did not even a let out a 'belch'.

s...o...b..ll's stomach was a huge subs.p.a.ce, in that it was changeable, strangely shaped, and could take in any and millions of objects.

Otherwise, it would not have been able to devour all the water elements in the illusion. The devouring of a wolf or the sword qi unleashed from Mu Yubai's sword strike, was just a small demonstration of its impressive skills. It was a starter dish.

Since it had nothing to do anyway.

The Red Moon had the attributes of fire, and the Wolf King of the Red Moon naturally had fire attributes.

He wanted to blend water and fire, and to raise his strength dramatically, which the best way to do so was to directly take in the purest water elements.

And inside the stomach of the Heart of Weak water was the mother of water, the mother of all water. There was nothing more pure and powerful in the world than the water element in its stomach——

The Wolf King entered the stomach of s...o...b..ll, like a pervert into a brothel, a glutton into the palace, a flower-loving man into the Flower language plain——

He could finally desperately absorb the elements of mother water for his usage, and then fuse the fire elements in his body with water elements.

If successful, his invisible body could be turned into a tangible body.  

In that case, he would be free to travel in and out various s.p.a.ces, and not just confined to the Fenglin continent, absorbing the light of the Red Moon day and night in order to live.

However, he had been in the stomach of s...o...b..ll for far too long, and there were no other living things in it beside him.

Therefore, the Wolf King still felt a little lonely.  

Now that there was a chance to come out, he naturally had to howl a few more times to express his feelings of excitement.

"Ow——"

Li Muyang was sitting astride the wolf, his clothes were ragged and his appearance was shocking. Although riddled with scars, it did not hide his elegance and awe-inspiring presence.

s...o...b..ll was standing on the shoulder of Li Muyang, and as Li Muyang was about to be struck by the 'Tens of thousands of sword unite as one', he timely crushed the essential qi bottle to let s...o...b..ll out.

As expected, s...o...b..ll, whose mind was in sync with that of Li Muyang, once again leapt out to save its Master, s.h.i.+elding Li Muyang with its soft and tough body, and blocked the invincible sword qi of the tens of thousands of swords.

If s...o...b..ll had not appeared in time, Li Muyang would most likely have been severed into minced flesh.

In that kind of life and death situation, Li Muyang had no time to consider other things——

It did not matter whether or not he would reveal his ident.i.ty as being part of the Dragon clan.  

It did not matter whether or not he would reveal the background of s...o...b..ll.

At such a critical moment, the only thing that a person could do was to——live.

Try hard to live and do whatever one could to live.

"Pff——"

"Pff——"

s...o...b..ll was also very happy, spitting out bubbles non-stop.  

It didn't like to be trapped in a bottle, it liked to fly and play, it liked to be put in a cage to sleep, and of course, liked to be held in the arms of Li s.h.i.+nian——

However, that sword strike of Mu Dingyi was too fierce, too domineering.

Even though s...o...b..ll, a natural divine creature, had used its body to forcibly take on the impact, it was still wounded by the sword qi.

There was a wound on s...o...b..ll's back, which blood was constantly flowing out from, as well as water elements.  

The water elements were condensing in the air and then dispersed. There was a growing number of water elements gathering together.

"Heavens, Li Muyang is not dead, he's alive again——"

"What is that monster he's riding on? Looks very terrifying——"  

"It looks like a wolf——but I had never heard of a giant wolf with blazing flames all over his body——"——

Everybody were discussing spiritedly.

And because of the imposing manner and power of the giant wolf, they dared not to speak too loudly, for fear of angering the fierce wolf. Everyone was very cautious and careful, aiming their eyes at the sky when they spoke. As soon as the sight of the giant wolf was aimed at them, they would immediately clamp their mouth shut.

"Li Muyang is not dead——" Song Chenxi excitedly shouted. The little maiden, with her hands clasped, exclaimed with joy, "Li Muyang is not dead, Li Muyang is alive and on the wolf."

Song Tinyun's face darkened. n.o.body knew what he was thinking.  

Song Tao was staring at the giant wolf with a puzzled gaze. "What monster is that? Why would Li Muyang be riding on it? Could it be one of the ten fiercest beasts of the divine continent? But I have never heard of a beast that looks like this——"

"Li Muyang is alive." The focus of Song Chenxi was only on Li Muyang.

"Muyang——" Lu Qingming looked up at the sky, where Li Muyang was, and shouted: "Muyang, are you okay?"

On the viewing platform, Lu Xingkong's face was first crossed with astonishment, then instantly turned to relief, and there was undisguisable proudness.  

"This is my grandson." Lu Xingkong mumbled to himself.  

"Li Muyang——" West Wind Emperor Chu Xianda's face was twisted with shock. He turned to Lu Xingkong, asking: "Defense minister, what is the situation? Why is Li Muyang——able to return safely? What kind of mythological beast is he riding on?"

"Your Majesty, Old Minister does not know." Lu Xingkong answered.

Prince Fu simply glanced at his son and Chu Xun understood the meaning of his father and said aloud: "That is the Wolf of the Red Moon, born in the continent of Feng Lin, and absorbs the brilliance of the red moon day and night to live. It is said that the Wolf King lives as long as the Red Moon. As long as the Red Moon exists, the Wolf King will live forever. It's just that he's been confined to the Fenglin continent all his life. It is impossible for him to survive without the light of the Red Moon as food. He's going to die soon.”

After a pause, he continued: "I don't know why it came here, let alone how Li Muyang was able to summon it out——"

The one who was the most shocked was Mu Dingyi.

Tens of thousands of sword united as one, beheading a genius in fury.

He had thought that, after that sword, the battle would be over.

No one could escape the power of that sword, even his son, in the face of that sword, would most likely be powerless.

However, Li Muyang had successfully dodged his attack.

He was still alive, reappearing before him.

To make it worse, he came back riding a giant wolf——

Although he was very old, he remembered very well that there was no giant wolf when Li Muyang just appeared. There was no giant wolf when Li Muyang was struck by the sword and disappeared without a trace. There was also no giant wolf in the sword pit that Li Muyang fell into——

So, the question was where did the ferocious-looking beast come from?

Li Muyang's pupils were red, filled with blood, and were ferocious and murderous looking.

The grievances of many days, the thin line between life and death, had caused a complete outburst of hostility in Li Muyang's heart.

He wanted to kill.

He wanted to take revenge.

He wanted to retaliate.

The people who wanted to kill him, he was going to kill them all.

Li Muyang fell into a state of hysterical madness.

Li Muyang was sitting astride the wolf, and because the Red Wolf's body was blazing with flames, it looked like Li Muyang was also surrounded by many flames.

Crazy, fierce, and murderous.

Li Muyang's piercing cold eyes glared at Mu Dingyi, hissing: "Old man, prepare to die."

"Li Muyang, you dare to humiliate Old immortal of Still water——" One of the wild guests of Still water, Li Xiuwei, fumed, charging towards Li Muyang wielding a long sword.

He flew above Li Muyang's head, swinging down his sword.

The Sever technique of Still water sword!

"Ow——"

The huge Red Wolf jerked his head back and roared in the direction where Li Xiuwei was.

His voice contained an unimaginable burst of strong qi, which completely eliminated the invisible sword qi that was surging over.

Taking advantage of the fact that Li Xiuwei's attack had failed, his body was still fluttering down, and it was too late for him to change to another move, Li Muyang clenched his fist and threw an upward punch.  

"Go die."

Roar——

A white lightning dragon pounced onto Li Xiuwei's body, the dragon head charged all the way forward, slamming into Li Xiuwei's chest.

"Ah——"

Li Xiuwei let out a miserable shriek and was brought to the higher sky by the white dragon.

Bang——

A loud noise resounded in the sky.

It was the explosion of the white lightning dragon's body.

White qi was frantically dispersed, tearing Li Xiuwei's body to shreds.

The wind did not stop and the snow did not rest.

However, blood dripped onto the spotless snow on the ground.

Someone reached out his hand and rubbed his face.

The palm was stained a dark red.
