Zhang Xianhu narrowed his eyes slightly and calmly said, "Li Yunmu, I'm not interested in your favor. I only want that black blade. Otherwise, a battle between you and I will be unavoidable."
Li Yunmu remained silent when faced with Zhang Xianhu's attitude.
Although he knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, Zhang Xianhu and the vampires wouldn't run over to help him resist the three transcending powers without any reason.
The vampires wanted the flesh and blood of the fallen powerhouses, and Zhang Xianhu wanted the black blade. From the beginning, he knew that the black blade was in the hands of Blade Master and that he would certainly take it out. Therefore, Zhang Xianhu chose Blade Master as his opponent so that Li Yunmu wouldn't be able to interfere in this matter!
He hadn't expected that in the end, Blade Master would surprisingly give up all hope of survival and put all his strength into the blade energy, which allowed Li Yunmu to take advantage of it!
The corners of Li Yunmu's mouth rose slightly, and he said with a gloomy expression, "Regardless of what your goal is, you have helped me today. I will let you attack first, how about it?"
The system's desire for the black blade was unprecedented. It was the first time that Li Yunmu had received such attention from the system.
Although he didn't know why Zhang Xianhu wanted the black blade, Li Yunmu definitely wouldn't concede!
Regardless of what use the black blade had for Zhang Xianhu or the system, it had nothing to do with Li Yunmu. But the system had promised to exchange it for the Great Devouring Technique, which was related to his personal interests!
Blood-red energy slowly congealed behind Zhang Xianhu's back, and in a few breaths, it surprisingly took the form of a muscular man whose entire body was made of blood-red energy!
It was nearly eighty feet tall and had a bare upper body. It had a leopard's head and round eyes, and in its hand was a blood-red serpent lance.
Just by looking at the muscular man's projection, Li Yunmu felt his heart thump wildly, as if his liver and gallbladder were about to split open.
This Han, how many tricks does he have? Li Yunmu knitted his brows and began to ponder inwardly.
"That's the power of the bloodline. This Zhang Xianhu's ancestor should be a very powerful figure, which is why those people … Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. You can roughly understand that this kind of power is actually similar to the power of a Saint to protect their descendants. It's just that they can release it on their own."
The System's voice had a hint of emotion in it, as if it was amazed by Zhang Xianhu's methods.
This kind of rough explanation made the suspicions in Li Yunmu's heart grow even stronger. Who were those people? What kind of huge secret is the System hiding? Even with my current strength, I actually don't have the qualifications to come into contact with it?
After Zhang Xianhu revealed the shadow of the muscular man, his face turned pale.
"Phew —"
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Xianhu looked at Li Yunmu and said in a deep voice, "This blade is related to the destiny of our Han Nation. According to what I know, you don't seem to be a successor, right?"
The inheritor of the power of providence.
The two unfamiliar words coming out of Zhang Xianhu's mouth almost caused Li Yunmu's breathing to stop. Although Zhang Xianhu hadn't said it directly, Li Yunmu could sense that he definitely wouldn't relent!
Suddenly, a stream of data flashed through Li Yunmu's right eye. After a moment, the System sent a large amount of information into Li Yunmu's brain.
"The descendant of Marquis Huan of Shu Han? Then that blade should be the Xinting Marquis Blade? "
Li Yunmu's calm voice caused Zhang Xianhu's brows to twitch slightly. For a moment, Li Yunmu standing in front of him seemed to have changed into another person. The ancient presence he gave off seemed to be even more terrifying than that of his Zhang family's ancestor!
From the beginning, Li Yunmu had gradually sensed that the truth of the world wasn't as described by others. There seemed to be a terrifying truth hidden under the surface.
As for how much information, battle skills, and cultivation methods were stored in the System's database, Li Yunmu had only seen the tip of the iceberg and nothing more.
"Yes!" After the initial bewilderment, Zhang Xianhu firmly nodded. "Since you know that this blade is the Xinting Marquis Blade and also know that I am the descendant of Marquis Huan, then you …"
"Hmph!"
Li Yunmu expressionlessly snorted and said in a cold voice, "Then you should also be clear that since I know your identity, I still asked you for this blade, so you should know my determination, right?"
"Since that's the case …"
Zhang Xianhu's complexion suddenly sank, and the blood colored energy around his body rose sharply as if he wanted to devour Li Yunmu!
However, at this time, the projection of the muscular man behind Zhang Xianhu suddenly moved and grabbed Zhang Xianhu's shoulder. After a short moment, the blood colored energy around Zhang Xianhu's body dissipated.
At the same time, the projection of the muscular man cupped his fist toward Li Yunmu. The blood colored energy around him vibrated in the air, and surprisingly, he spoke in a voice. "Junior was insensible and offended you!"
Shortly after, the projection of the muscular man didn't wait for Li Yunmu to receive the system's next instruction. He grabbed Zhang Xianhu with one hand and turned into a scarlet beam of light to quickly escape!
That terrifying burst of speed made it seem as if they were fleeing from some dreadful beast!
"Go, get that blade, then put it in your astral world."
The system's indifferent voice echoed in Li Yunmu's mind, as if the person it had just scared away wasn't an ancient existence but an insignificant ant.
After Zhang Xianhu was taken away by the projection of the muscular man, Blade Master, whose face was deathly pale, lowered his head in despair. He had completely lost all thoughts of resisting Li Yunmu.
Li Yunmu stepped through the air, and when he passed by Battle Sage Vega and Battle Sage An Jing, he didn't even glance at them and went straight to the front of Blade Master.
His hand rose, and the blade fell. Blade Master's head was thrown high into the air along with a splash of blood.
Li Yunmu had never shown any mercy to his enemies. Even if Blade Master was so weak that he could die at any moment, he would still kill him with his own hands!
Who knew whether an existence like Blade Master had other tricks up his sleeves? Perhaps if he didn't do anything, Blade Master would become even more terrifying in the future and come to Lucky Wind City to find him for revenge.
After beheading Blade Master with one strike, Li Yunmu's right hand turned into a claw. A terrifying pulling force came from his palm and sucked the black blade in Blade Master's hand into his own.
Just as Xin Ting Marquis Blade was thrown into the heavenly world, Li Yunmu discovered that it had disappeared without a trace. It seemed to have been collected by the system.
"As for you all …"
