Li Mu could not believe his ears when he heard the news.
The Seven Sword Immortals of the Hidden Sword Sea had dominated the world and rarely met a worthy opponent. Even though Maniac Sword was not the strongest among them, his strength was unfathomable. How could he be crippled?
"What's going on?"
Li Mu immediately went to the Hidden Sword Sea's station with Taoist Green Bull.
"It was a normal battle. I lost because I was not as skilled." Inside the room, Jian Mang's face was a little pale, and his breath was weak. He had lost both his arms — the injuries caused by an opponent at the same level as him, and under the condition that his cultivation had been destroyed, he could no longer rely on his blood and qi to recover. Thus, he was considered disabled. But facing the concerned gazes of Li Mu and the others, he did not look dispirited. He said, "The earthen pot will eventually break at the mouth of the well, and a great general will inevitably die in battle.
"Who was it that made you lose so quickly?" Li Mu asked in confusion.
Maniac Sword's gaze fell on Li Mu and he shook his head with a smile. "You will know after watching the battle."
He was not willing to say more.
Li Mu wanted to ask more, but Maniac Sword shook his head and gave Li Mu a look.
Li Mu suddenly came to a realization.
Yes, he should not ask about the arena battle at this time.
Maniac Sword was a proud man, but he lost so completely in the arena. In his heart, he did not want to talk about the battle anymore.
"I have to leave. Everyone, see you at the Hidden Sword Sea."
Maniac Sword smiled and got up with the help of the Hidden Sword Sea's disciples.
He was severely injured. The immortal pressure in the Land of Ascension made it unsuitable for him to recuperate. So, he needed to leave and return to the Hidden Sword Sea to recuperate slowly. There might be hope for him to recover.
Maniac Sword and the others wanted to see him off, but they were all rejected.
"Let Old Seven send me off," Maniac Sword said.
Li Mu hurriedly nodded.
The flying boat floated above the Hidden Sword Sea's station.
Many gazes were directed over, staring at the flying boat floating in the air with different expressions.
In a short period of time, the news of the Crazy Sword's defeat had spread across the entire Land of Immortal Ascension. As one of the top Sword Immortals in the Chaotic World, the Crazy Sword's defeat was undoubtedly the most sensational news since the start of the Sacred War. After all, the Crazy Sword was undoubtedly one of the top 100 or even the top 50 in everyone's hearts. However, he was eliminated in the Immortal Seedling Battle just like that.
The departure of a legend always made people sigh.
Strong winds blew.
Crazy Sword stood at the bow of the boat, his armless sleeves fluttering in the wind. His breath was so weak that it made Li Mu's heart ache.
Among the six Sword Immortals of the Hidden Sword Sea, apart from his eldest brother, Sword King, Li Mu had the most contact with Crazy Sword. He was also the closest to Crazy Sword. How could he not be angry when he saw his elder brother behaving like that?
"Seventh Brother, perhaps you've sensed it, or perhaps you haven't. You're carrying a lot of expectations for this Holy War," Crazy Sword said slowly.
Li Mu nodded.
If it was said that at the beginning of the holy war, Li Mu was only there to fulfill the Taoist Palace Master's request and to see the scenery and the world, then by now, Li Mu's mind had changed a little.
The Crazy Sword turned his head and glanced at Li Mu. Then, he suddenly laughed and said, "It's good to be young."
Li Mu said, "You are also very young."
Crazy Sword chuckled.
In the blink of an eye, he was already outside the Land of Ascension.
The swordship from the Hidden Sword Sea was already waiting.
The Crazy Sword patted Li Mu on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Be careful."
"Ah?"
"This year's Holy War is a little strange."
After that, the Crazy Sword, supported by the disciples of the Hidden Sword Sea, entered the swordship.
Then, with a flash of divine light, he disappeared into the sky.
Li Mu stood in the air for a moment, then turned around and went back.
He did not return to the Taoist Palace's station, but to the Hidden Sword Sea's station.
"Who on earth hurt Third Brother?" Li Mu asked without beating around the bush.
Everyone was a little silent. They naturally understood what Li Mu was asking.
Wang Shiyu waved at Li Mu and said, "Come with me."
She led Li Mu to the hall of the station, and on the wall of the inner hall, the battle between the Crazy Sword and his opponent was projected.
"The number one expert of the Wind and Cloud branch of the extraterrestrial demons, Gu Tieyi?"
When Li Mu saw the name, he rubbed between his brows.
He had heard of this name. It was in the list given by the Taoist Palace. The five branches of the extraterrestrial demons were Fengyun, Golden Light, Shenwei, Blood Evil, and Xuance. They were all worthy of the attention of the human race. Among them, the number one expert of the Fengyun branch was named Gu Tieyi. In the rating of the Taoist Palace, this person was worth paying attention to, and his overall rating was A, which was not to be underestimated.
But this extraterrestrial demon was at the same level as the Crazy Sword, and he was slightly inferior. How could he defeat the Crazy Sword in a head-on battle?
Accompanied by Wang Shiyu, Li Mu spent a full four hours watching the whole battle from beginning to end.
"How do you feel?" Wang Shiyu asked.
Li Mu's face was full of confusion. "It is indeed a head-on battle, but the question is, why can this Gu Tieyi predict the enemy's moves countless times in the battle? He is completely familiar with Third Brother's moves and tactics, and he seems to have prepared many ways to counter his sword skills?"
Wang Shiyu said, "I feel the same way. It is no longer a simple prediction. He knows Crazy Sword better than the Sword Immortals of the Hidden Sword Sea. "
Li Mu nodded.
For example, his Eye of Flaws required his opponent to use the same battle skill twice in order to target it. Even the Eye of Prophecy, which had evolved later on, was unable to completely suppress his opponent in terms of battle skills and tactics like Gu Tieyi. It was not just a simple foresight. It was more like he had been preparing for this battle for several years.
In particular, the last move that defeated the Crazy Sword was his ultimate killing move. But it was completely countered by Gu Tieyi. It was clear that Gu Tieyi had long known the secret of that move and had prepared a countermeasure to it. That was why the Crazy Sword lost his arm and was crippled.
"There is something wrong with this Gu Tieyi."
Li Mu firmly committed the name to memory.
"If I meet this man in the arena, I will make sure he falls before he even has a chance to draw his sword."
He swore in his heart.
At the same time, in the territory of the extraterrestrial demons, there was jubilation and all kinds of celebrations.
Gu Tieyi not only defeated the Crazy Sword in the battle and got all the points, but also directly disabled the Extraterrestrial Demon's mortal enemy. It could be said that he got the best of both worlds, which greatly boosted the reputation of the Fengyun Zhi.
All kinds of discussions spread in the Land of Immortal Ascension.
When Li Mu returned to the Taoist Palace, the first day of the Immortal Seedling Battles had completely come to an end.
He obtained the battle statistics of the first day from Taoist Green Bull. He did not know if he did not read it, but when he saw it, he was shocked. On that day, there were a total of 3,140 Immortal Seedling Battles, of which the human race participated in a total of 1,100 battles. The winning rate was about 60%. Among the defeated battles, there were 67 deaths and serious injuries.
Two hundred and fifty-three.
This data was even more cruel than Li Mu had imagined.
And after further observation, Li Mu found that among the 67 deaths, 60 died in battle against the experts of the Extraterrestrial Demons, six died in battle against the Feather Race, and one died in battle against the Demon Race.
The hatred between the human race and the Extraterrestrial Demons was shocking. They were not on good terms with the Feather Race either.
This death rate fully demonstrated the relationship between the various races in the Chaotic World.
At night, the battles stopped.
Unexpectedly, Li Mu welcomed two old friends — Ye Ying of the Ye family and Lin Jingxin of the Lin family.
"Lord Li, we meet again." Lin Jingxin's temperament was more stable than before. There was a kind of temperament that was restrained.
"Lord … Li!" Ye Ying also said.
This female captain of the silver scouts, who used to be valiant and heroic, now had a lot less imposing aura. Instead, she looked a little chivalrous.
"Please come in." Li Mu invited the two into the room and said with a smile, "I have already resigned from my military post. From now on, I have nothing to do with the military headquarters. You don't need to call me 'Lord Li' anymore. Just call me Brother Li as in the past."
In the room, the host and the guest took their seats.
Ming Yue came in curiously to serve tea.
She and Qing Feng originally participated in the competition with the help of other sects. After seeing Li Mu, they had been staying with Li Mu and did not return to the camp of their sects.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Your cultivation has soared. Congratulations." Li Mu glanced at them. Ye Ying was already in the third level of the Taoist Master Realm, while Lin Jingxin was in the second level of the Taoist Master Realm. Compared with that day, their cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. Li Mu was also happy for his two old friends.
Ye Ying smiled, and the expression on her pretty face became much more vivid. She said, "But it's still not as good as when you killed the two successors of the Thunder Principle Ancestral Mountain."
Lin Jingxin slapped his thigh and said, "To be honest, when I heard the news, I was almost dumbfounded. Brother, you've gone a little too far."
Li Mu smiled and said very modestly, "They forced me."
The two burst into laughter.
Li Mu formally raised his cup and thanked the two. He said, "On the day of the trial of the Ten Elders, the Ye family and the Lin family both reported the truth of what happened in the Roaring Flame City to the military headquarters, which was a great help to me. I don't need to guess to know that you must have pressured the two families. Otherwise, the two families might not have dared to risk offending the Thunder Principle Ancestral Mountain. Write a letter for me. Thank you so much. Here is a cup of tea to express my gratitude.
Please. "Lin Jingxin drank the tea and laughed." So you know all about it. That's good. I don't have to show off to you. "
Ye Ying also laughed boldly and said, "Since you're thanking me, how can there be no wine? Brother Li, it's too boring to drink tea when old friends meet again. If we don't drink, how can we live up to this short life before the war? "
Li Mu was stunned, and then he laughed. "I didn't expect a drunkard like you to speak first."
A moment later, the room was filled with the aroma of wine.
"Hahaha, good wine. I've long heard that the Taoist Palace has good wine. Even the master of the Lin family can't drink this wine. Hahaha, let's drink again. Good night … "Lin Jingxin held the wine jar and played a finger-guessing game with Li Mu.
Ye Ying's drinking posture was also very bold. Her clothes were soaked in front of her chest, outlining a pair of plump breasts.
They drank for the whole night.
A thousand cups were not enough when drinking with a bosom friend.
The three of them let go of their inhibitions.
The next day, at dawn, the two were quite drunk, so they got up and said goodbye.
"Take care."
"Brother, take care."
"Drunk on the battlefield, Lord Grim. How many people have fought since ancient times?"
The three of them saluted with the smell of wine.
The war was imminent, and Li Mu was very confident. But for Lin Jingxin and Ye Ying, the next battle would undoubtedly be very dangerous. Once they stepped on it, they didn't know if they would have a chance to walk out alive. Before the battle, they specifically came to drink with Li Mu, as a confirmation of their old friendship.
"I hope I can still see you after the sacred war. Let's drink again," Li Mu said.
Ye Ying took a deep look at Li Mu, as if she wanted to remember him in the depths of her soul. She opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly there was a flash of light on her body. The Divine Jade Plate directly sent her away to the battle ring.
