What is this guy's background?
He's young, only at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, yet his magical power is profound, and his Divine Sense is so strong that he's not inferior to a Transformation God cultivator!
Even more terrifying is that this guy has an endless stream of trump cards; such a Prodigy is definitely not someone he can afford to provoke!
At this moment, the injured Hanh Qianfeng was filled with regret; he no longer had any other thoughts about Li Mu, he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, the farther the better!
"Fellow Daoist, there might be some misunderstanding in this matter, why don't we..."
Feeling Li Mu's unfathomable depth, Hanh Qianfeng quickly spoke up, ready to explain and make peace with Li Mu, resolving the misunderstanding.
However, Hongshan, whose eyes were bloodshot from killing, didn't care about Hanh Qianfeng's thoughts; he was left with only pure killing intent, controlling the bloody storm that began to rage, even affecting him.
Hanh Qianfeng was so exasperated that he could only dodge the Dragon shadows while fending off Hongshan's storm.
Li Mu stood in the air, his Aura deep, his hands forming a spell to remotely control the Five Dragons Immortal Slaying Formation, trapping the opponent, allowing the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon to lurk beneath the sea, waiting for an opportunity, but he didn't let go and pursue them to the death.
Currently, the other Transformation God cultivator had lost his will to fight and didn't cause him much trouble; only this young Transformation God cultivator, whose killing intent was insane, remained.
"This guy, if one didn't know, they'd think I dug up his ancestral grave."
Li Mu looked at the crazed Hongshan and couldn't help but murmur, his eyes fixed on the opponent, secretly on guard.
"Stench Wind Sword, First Form, Life Sever!"
The next second, Hongshan held a compass in one hand and condensed a blood-colored long sword in the other; the moment the blood-colored long sword appeared, the air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of blood, and killing intent permeated the sky.
Before his words could land, the blood-colored long sword suddenly expanded to a thousand zhang, powerfully slashing towards Li Mu with immense momentum.
Li Mu's expression changed slightly; with a thought of his Divine Sense, a small azure mountain appeared, growing with the wind, instantly expanding ten thousand times.
With a loud "bang," the blood-colored long sword fiercely slashed onto the 'Azure Great Mountain,' like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, unable to move it even an inch; the bloody Sword Qi unleashed by the Stench Wind Sword was instantly destroyed by Myriad Swords Mountain's Sword Intent, failing to cause even a tiny bit of damage.
"This sword skill is not bad; now it's my turn!"
Li Mu gazed deeply at the opponent, saying playfully.
As soon as his voice fell, Li Mu formed a sword seal with his hands, his true essence erupting fully, driving Myriad Swords Mountain.
The next moment, the "buzzing" sound of sword cries responded; the Spirit Swords embedded in the 'Azure Great Mountain' unsheathed and soared upwards, and in the blink of an eye, they gathered in the sky to form a sword Formation, creating a Sword Dragon, its sword momentum shaking the heavens!
So many high-grade Spirit Swords!
Seeing this scene, Hanh Qianfeng was dumbfounded, looking at Li Mu as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of disbelief.
Thousands of Spirit Swords, and not a few of them were fifth-grade Spirit Swords that had gained sentience; ordinary Transformation God cultivators would cherish and carefully use even one, yet here, they weren't even considered companion swords, but merely sub-artifacts of thousands of Spirit Treasures.
"You!"
Hongshan's face changed drastically; he never expected that the opponent not only blocked his attack but could also command so many Spirit Swords and arrange such a terrifying sword Formation.
Is this really a Nascent Soul cultivator?
How is he more like a Transformation God cultivator than me?
However, just as Hongshan was doubting life, the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon found an opportunity, opened its blood-red mouth, and a stream of Qi gushed out, directly piercing through Hongshan's chest.
"Damn it, Li Mu, what kind of skill is it for you to let the Flood Dragon ambush me!" Hongshan cried out in pain and couldn't help but angrily rebuke.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu was almost laughed at by this guy; if fighting with a beast isn't a skill, then is it a skill for you two Transformation God Realm Cultivators to bully a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator?
"How shameless, if that strike just now had hit you in the face, with the thickness of your skin, you wouldn't even be injured!" Li Mu couldn't help but mock and ridicule.
Upon hearing this, Hongshan's face turned extremely ugly; as a dignified Transformation God cultivator, when had it ever been the turn of a Nascent Soul cultivator to lecture him!
Thinking this, Hongshan took a deep breath, formed seals with both hands, and streaks of red light appeared; the next moment, they directly enveloped a large area of the sea.
At this moment, Hanh Qianfeng was filled with fear and dread; he had only one thought: to leave this place as soon as possible, the farther the better!
The abilities of this Nascent Soul cultivator were definitely not something an ordinary Transformation God cultivator could contend with; if he continued to fight him, his old life would probably be in danger!
"Fellow Daoist, how about we turn hostility into friendship? As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to tell you the mastermind behind this." Hanh Qianfeng forced a fawning smile, disregarding his old face, and looked at Li Mu, pleading.
Li Mu returned a slight smile, just about to give him a reply.
However, just then, the red Domain rapidly expanded, instantly covering both Hanh Qianfeng and Li Mu.
Looking at the area covered in crimson around him, Li Mu couldn't help but frown.
"Is this a Formation? Or some kind of Domain?" Li Mu vigilantly observed his surroundings, but for a moment, he couldn't see through the Origin of this crimson Domain; his Heavenly Talent didn't work.
The spiritual light within this crimson Law Domain was neither Spiritual Qi nor Devilish Qi, nor even blood Qi; it was very strange.
"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator, yet you can force out my killing move; it's your honor to die here!" Just then, Hongshan's voice came from all directions.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu frowned and searched around, but still couldn't find the true location of the opponent!
"Hongshan, if you want to kill him, why are you trapping me here too?" At this moment, Hanh Qianfeng was even more panicked than Li Mu; he couldn't help but shout.
"Why? If you get out, wouldn't you take away some resources? You're already so old, so don't waste resources; just die here today!" Upon hearing this, Hongshan coldly laughed and responded wildly.
Upon hearing this, Hanh Qianfeng immediately couldn't sit still; he never expected this little bastard Hongshan to be so ruthless, not even sparing him!
Knowing a person's face, but not their heart!
"Fellow Daoist, this kid is crazy; how about we two cooperate and leave together? If we can't combine our strength, it's probably impossible for you to leave this Formation alone!" Hanh Qianfeng anxiously persuaded Li Mu.
Li Mu coldly glanced at the other party without speaking; this person's allegiance was hard to discern, and cooperating with him was akin to seeking a tiger for its skin, after all, the other party was an enemy just now, and if he changed his mind now, the truth was unknown, what if it was a trick!
Being indifferently ignored by Li Mu, Hanh Qianfeng immediately became anxious, secretly cursing this Nascent Soul kid for also being a madman, not knowing how to size up the situation, and still being so indifferent at a time like this.
Subsequently, Hanh Qianfeng's body trembled slightly, and a powerful Aura emerged from him, magnificent and vast; powerful spiritual energy gathered before him, and a materialized Spirit Sword gradually formed in his hand, its blade shimmering with a cold light, as if it had gathered the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and the sword body emitted bursts of dazzling light.
After a while, the Spiritual Qi gathered into the sword body, and the sword light was restrained, as if it contained endless power.
Hanh Qianfeng solemnly held the Spirit Sword in his hand and slashed it towards the sky.
The sharp sword light, carrying a chilling coldness, spread out like a lightning bolt, instantly cutting through the sky, emitting heart-palpitating Sword Qi, unstoppable.
The crimson Law Domain seemed like an endless abyss, instantly devouring the sword light completely, without causing any ripple.
"Failed?"
Hanh Qianfeng was slightly stunned; he never expected that his full-strength strike would have no effect whatsoever!
No!
Just then, the crimson Law Domain suddenly produced a violent fluctuation of Spiritual Qi, and two crimson Sword Qi suddenly appeared in the air, exactly like the Sword Qi Hanh Qianfeng had slashed out.
The two Sword Qi rushed forth like two giant Dragons, their momentum astonishing.
"What's going on? What kind of method is this!"
Hanh Qianfeng looked at the Sword Qi descending from the sky, momentarily astonished. His eyes and heart were filled with doubt and horror, not knowing where this Sword Qi came from, and why it was so similar to the Sword Qi he had slashed out.
Oh my God!
This is not an illusion!
Hanh Qianfeng roared, wanting to take out a defensive Magic Treasure to resist, but it was too late! The two Sword Qi were like thunder, arriving instantly, and in a flash, they crushed his body into pieces, even obliterating his Primordial Spirit.
Soon, Hanh Qianfeng's remains were rapidly devoured by the crimson Law Domain, not a trace of spiritual energy remaining!
"This Law Domain can actually replicate attacks launched within it, and it even returns them doubled; that's quite formidable!" Li Mu realized the hidden secret upon seeing this; a pair of Thunder Wings unfolded behind him, and he recalled the Sword Dragon to protect himself, carefully on guard, not easily launching a counterattack.
Li Mu stood floating in the air, observed for a while, and soon discovered a loophole in this crimson Law Domain: it seemed unable to actively attack people, only passively resist, which meant that at most, it could only trap him.
"Hmm... A toad on the foot, it doesn't bite, but it's disgusting." After a long time without seeing the opponent initiate an attack, Li Mu became even more certain of this judgment and made a comment about it.
Subsequently, Li Mu began to ponder how to use this loophole to escape this dangerous situation.
However, just then, an unexpected change occurred; after the crimson Law Domain devoured Hanh Qianfeng's remains, a human figure condensed within the crimson Law Domain. Although it had no facial features, it could be seen to resemble Hongshan greatly. That human figure slowly walked towards Li Mu, seemingly wanting to devour him.
Li Mu was startled by this, not expecting that this space could absorb the Physical Body and Spiritual Qi of dead Cultivators to condense into human form. He immediately realized that this was a very dangerous situation, and if he didn't find a solution quickly, he might also fall into the same predicament.
"Li Mu, that old thing is dead, now it's your turn. If you had attacked with him just now, perhaps I really couldn't have trapped you. Thank you for not making a move!" Hongshan couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh and slowly walked towards Li Mu.
Li Mu frowned slightly. He had indeed guessed wrong. This scarlet Law Domain could attack people; it was just that this guy wasn't ready earlier.
"It was indeed a miscalculation, but do you think you can defeat me just because you've become neither human nor ghost?" Li Mu's words carried a hint of disdain. What was there to be arrogant about when he had been beaten into such a state?
With that, Li Mu pointed a finger at the red figure, and in an instant, the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon roared and charged forward, opening its gaping maw to bite down.
However, what Li Mu didn't expect was that this time, the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon's attack was blocked. At the same time, tendrils appeared on the red figure, rapidly coiling around the Flood Dragon, as if to devour it.
Li Mu's expression changed slightly. His Spirit Sword slashed out, a cold gleam flashed, and the Sword Qi instantly severed those tendrils, freeing the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon.
At the same time, several Fifth-Grade Thunder Talismans emerged from in front of Li Mu and then flew towards the red figure.
Seeing this, the latter conjured a red rune out of thin air in his hand. Accompanied by a blinding flash of spiritual light, all the Thunder Talismans Li Mu summoned instantly turned to dust.
And this guy also took the opportunity to appear before Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't have time to react before he was struck in the chest by the opponent's palm, and streams of red Qi surged wildly into his body.
"You want to devour me too? What are you thinking?" Li Mu guessed the opponent's intention and fully activated the Spirit Devouring Life Nurturing Art, counter-devouring the scarlet Qi. To his surprise, it actually worked, and the scarlet Qi rapidly transformed into Spiritual Qi within Li Mu's body.
"Hmm?" Feeling Li Mu's body like a bottomless pit, Hongshan was instantly dumbfounded. He was just about to retract his Origin, but found that he couldn't pull it out, as if it was locked.
"Boy, what did you do?" At this moment, Hongshan was somewhat flustered. All this scarlet Qi was the Origin of his Cultivation Technique, and if it was completely absorbed, it would be life-threatening!
He had calculated everything but failed to account for Li Mu's hidden move. For a moment, Hongshan couldn't maintain his composure.
Li Mu naturally wouldn't be polite with this guy. He fully activated the Spirit Devouring Life Nurturing Art, absorbing frantically. Since he couldn't break through these scarlet Law Domains, he would just absorb them dry!
As more and more scarlet Qi was absorbed, crimson patterns began to appear on Li Mu's skin.
These patterns were very strange, like spirit patterns yet not quite, neither Formation patterns nor Puppet patterns. Li Mu frowned tightly, very concerned about these blood patterns appearing on his body!
"Let me go!" At this moment, Hongshan had no intention of being a money-giving boy. He roared, and a bloody halo appeared in his hand, striking towards Li Mu.
Seeing this, Li Mu raised his hand and summoned Myriad Swords Mountain.
Immediately, a series of explosions sounded, and the surrounding sea surface directly churned up monstrous waves.
This muffled sound caused Cultivators in the nearby sea area to turn their heads, casting their gaze towards the direction of the explosion.
"Strange, is someone fighting? But why can't I see anyone?"
"Unclear, probably fighting inside a Formation. Who cares, it has nothing to do with us."
"That's true."
...
The crowd whispered among themselves, then no longer cared about the loud noise.
At this moment, Li Mu and Hongshan were locked in a stalemate. The Auras on their bodies rapidly collided, but they showed no intention of separating.
Although Li Mu's cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, a major level lower than Hongshan, the power he displayed at this moment was not inferior to the opponent's in the slightest.
"To be able to contend with a Soul Transformation realm Cultivator with a Nascent Soul cultivation, I admit I underestimated you. How about we call it quits?" At this moment, Hongshan was already somewhat afraid of Li Mu. There would be no benefit in continuing to fight, so he simply proposed a truce.
Li Mu was already fired up, with several mysterious blood patterns on his body, how could he stop now?
His plea for a truce was actually ignored. This brat truly deserves to die!
Hongshan was furious. Just as he was about to make another move, a figure suddenly appeared within the area covered by the scarlet Law Domain.
The newcomer was none other than Hong Shuang, the person in charge of Qingyan Brothel. Seeing her younger brother entangled in a fight with a Nascent Soul cultivator and in a disadvantaged position, even bringing out his trump card!
Hong Shuang's expression instantly became extremely unsightly. She had originally been observing the movements of Li's Treasure Pavilion, but she hadn't expected her younger brother to start a fight with them first.
So far, her understanding of Li's Treasure Pavilion was practically nil. This kid dared to make a move against them without even a greeting. Wasn't this just asking for trouble for Qingyan Brothel!
"Shopkeeper Li, please give this humble girl some face and release my brother. My Qingyan Brothel will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter, how about it!" Hong Shuang quickly spoke up to dissuade him.
"What are these blood patterns? Tell me their Origin first!" Li Mu glanced at the blood patterns on his arm, his gaze deep as he pressed Hong Shuang.
"Fellow Daoist, this is a secret of our clan. I promise I will find a way to help you remove them, and there will be no hidden dangers left. Please don't delve into it, how about it!" Hong Shuang looked at Li Mu apologetically and pleaded.
Hearing this, Li Mu's expression turned cold. He ignored her and no longer bothered with the other party.
Li Mu commanded the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon to encircle and attack Hongshan, while simultaneously guarding against her intervention.
Seeing Li Mu ignore her, Hong Shuang gritted her teeth. Looking at her brother, who was at a disadvantage and constantly being injured, she finally couldn't help but make a move.
Hong Shuang's Spiritual Qi condensed in her hand, instantly conjuring a dark whip, which she lashed out at Li Mu. The dark whip was like a huge black Dragon, coiling in the air, bringing with it a sharp sound of breaking wind and an astonishing Aura.
However, Li Mu seemed oblivious, as if he hadn't seen the whip approaching. He moved his body, and the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon directly charged out, releasing its Lifebound Treasure, a thick stream of water like a Nine Heavens waterfall, easily blocking the whip.
The thick water was like a huge water curtain, completely blocking the dark whip. The dark whip churned in the water but could not break through the barrier of the thick water.
Subsequently, the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon and Hong Shuang engaged in battle.
One person and one Dragon stirred the sea, raising monstrous waves. The waves churned like small mountains, submerging the surrounding sea area.
Hong Shuang's figure was like the wind, and the dark whip in her hand was as flexible and versatile as a spirit snake, sweeping horizontally at times, and thrusting directly at others. Each attack carried a sharp sound of breaking wind, making people's hearts palpitate.
However, the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon was not at a disadvantage in the slightest. Its figure was agile, and each leap carried astonishing power. The thick water from its mouth gushed out like waterfalls, blocking all of Hong Shuang's attacks.
Their battle grew more and more intense, and the surrounding ocean had become a chaotic mess. Waves churned, and towering waves surged, as if to swallow the entire world.
"Boy, do you really want to fight to the death?" At this moment, as Hong Shuang and the Twin-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon battled, Hongshan glared at Li Mu and questioned coldly.
"Otherwise? I won't do something like letting the tiger return to the mountain! Blame yourself for provoking me!" Li Mu said coldly.
Hearing this, Hongshan laughed in anger, his entire face becoming distorted.
"Boy, you forced my hand!"
The next moment, Hongshan's body suddenly began to rapidly expand.
Seeing this, Li Mu's pupils contracted.
"Damn it, this guy is going to self-destruct! Madman!"
Li Mu instantly saw through Hongshan's intention. He spread his Thunder Wings and cast the Five Elements Water Escape technique again, his figure instantly retreating dozens of miles.
The next moment, a powerful scarlet Qi erupted from Hongshan's body, and then, a thunderous roar instantly resounded throughout the entire sea area.
The surrounding red light disintegrated in the blink of an eye, and waves were stirred up hundreds of feet high. Even though Li Mu had retreated dozens of miles and used Myriad Swords Mountain to block, he was still affected at this moment, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Madman! The power of a Soul Transformation self-destruct! Truly terrifying!"
Li Mu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked around for the enemy's figure. However, at this moment, there was no enemy on the sea surface, only some mixed Qi drifting with the wind.
"That woman is also gone. Was she killed by the explosion?" Li Mu frowned slightly. Although it was possible, she had a high probability of surviving, and even the self-destructing Soul Transformation Cultivator might not have died. That scarlet Law Domain was too strange; there was no Physical Body to glimpse.
"Forget it, let's leave here first." Li Mu retracted Myriad Swords Mountain and his many Spirit Swords, then prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, a sharp long blade appeared out of thin air, instantly piercing Li Mu's chest.
