Li Mu did run away like a rabbit.
If he didn't flee at this time, there must be something wrong with his brain.
Although he was arrogant and liked to show off, he would never pretend to be a fool and think that he could fight against the five of them alone.
Anyway, the purpose of honing himself had been achieved.
The direction in which Li Mu fled was where Li Gang was at the headquarters of the Xiongfeng Martial Arts Club.
For now, there was no doubt that the scumbag magistrate was the most powerful person in the whole Chang 'an government.
At the same time, when the second prince saw the direction in which Li Mu was running, an idea occurred to him, and he stopped the five Celestial Beings from chasing after Li Mu.
Li Mu successfully escaped from the battlefield.
"Your Honor Li, you …" Li Mu approached and saw Li Gang's injured appearance, which made his heart slightly cold.
"No way, his thigh is also injured?"
He was fighting with the five Celestial Beings too fiercely before, so he didn't notice the situation here.
Li Gang glanced at Li Mu, slightly frowned, and said, "Don't forget what you promised me that day." That day, when they met in the government office, Li Gang astonishingly said that he wanted to kill a prince, so he wanted to meet the faction behind Li Mu and cooperate with him. But Li Mu said that he could fully represent the faction he belonged to.
Li Mu rubbed his eyebrows with a bitter face and said, "Well, I was actually joking that day."
"My lord, my lord, don't tell me that's all you have?"
"Pinning your hope on an illusory sect shouldn't be your lord's style."
Li Gang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Unfilial son!" He almost blurted out.
"Ahem …" In the distant stones, Cao Bingyan, whose body was half solid and half transparent, climbed up weakly, coughed up blood, and had a complicated look.
He was going to die.
Even after all these years of bitter cultivation, abandoning his dignity, using evil arts to cultivate the Galaxy Sword, and becoming a lackey of the royal family to obtain resources and cultivation methods, he was still no match for Li Gang. Even with the help of the second prince, he still could not kill Li Gang.
The Secular Sword Whiz was indeed going to be removed from the list.
Because this killing plot had been planned for several years, and the second prince even took out the imperial edict, Li Gang would definitely die.
Unfortunately, he did not die by his hands.
After holding it in for twenty-one years, he still couldn't let it go.
When a man is about to die, his words are kind. When a bird is about to die, its cry is sorrowful.
Twenty-one years of sufferings and hardships flashed by in an instant. Cao Bingyan's eyes fell on Li Gang, and then on Li Mu. He had been following the second prince these days, so he was well-informed. Naturally, he knew Li Mu's deeds, and he also knew that the young man was the son of Li Gang, his sworn enemy.
A son who was abandoned by a family.
Such a good son was betrayed by Li Gang.
Now, Li Gang must be very regretful. However, with the Secular Sword Whiz's proud character, no matter how regretful he was, he would not admit it.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem …" Thinking of this, Cao Bingyan suddenly smiled happily.
In fact, he couldn't help but have an extremely absurd thought in his mind.
"The inheritance of the Star River Sword can't be cut off. I need a successor …" He spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, a wisp of starlight emerged in his palm and surged. Like a star falling into the human world, it was dazzling. In a flash, it flew toward the center of Li Mu's eyebrows.
"What's that?"
Li Mu was startled.
He could sense Cao Bingyan's aura. Even if he was about to die, he was still extremely terrifying, much more terrifying than Mu Qing, the Long-brow Saint, and the others. Therefore, his first thought was that this guy couldn't defeat the scumbag magistrate, so he decided to sneak up on him.
However, when he used his spiritual force to scan the starlight, he found that there was no murderous intent in it. Instead, it contained a mass of spiritual fluctuations that were similar to the profound meaning of martial arts. With a quick scan with his Third Eye, he understood.
"What the hell! Is this old eunuch out of his mind?"
"Imparting power?"
"Imparting it to my enemy … uh, abandoned son?"
"Is he suffering from Stockholm Syndrome?"
Li Mu hesitated for a moment. Then, he wrapped up the mass of starlight with his spiritual force and stealthily put it into the Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal. He had to be cautious in case Cao Bingyan played any tricks. After all, it was impossible to guard against an expert at such a level.
Beside him, Li Gang cast a complicated look at Cao Bingyan, but he didn't stop him or say anything.
He could understand Cao Bingyan's intention.
Twenty-one years ago, in that imperial examination in full bloom, few people knew that the emergence of geniuses was due to the emergence of the ancient sects. In the era of the world's recovery, not only the Western Qin, but also the Northern Song and the Southern Chu were also full of talents. As for which ancient force was behind those dazzling young people, no one could tell for sure.
Cao Bingyan, the Qi Used to Star River, was the current successor cultivated by the ancient Star River Sword Faction after a thousand years. He was also the only successor of the faction.
Unfortunately, he couldn't bear the setbacks and finally embarked on a wrong path.
Perhaps he had realized something before he died. The second prince … or the royal force that he had turned to was just treating him as a dog. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Cao Bingyan to test his trump card even though he had the imperial edict in his hand. Once Cao Bingyan died, the Ancient Star River Sword Faction would be completely destroyed.
In the distance, the second prince saw that but didn't say anything.
The inheritance of the Star River Sword Faction was indeed tempting. However, Cao Bingyan was, after all, a peak four-step Celestial Being. The inheritance contained his spiritual will. If he didn't want to, snatching that cluster of starlight would be meaningless. It would only make the inheritance of the Star River Sword Faction disappear in an instant. Therefore, it was better to let Li Mu, who was already a bird in a cage, get the inheritance, and then slowly interrogate him.
"Get used to thirty thousand miles of the Milky Way, one sword in nineteen provinces of Guanghan, hahahaha …" Cao Bingyan burst into laughter. He rose to his feet and straightened his body. His figure was getting more and more blurred, as if there was an invisible blackboard eraser erasing his figure from the World Painting. He swayed, but still stood straight. "Li Gang, my successor will definitely surpass you. The competition between the Secular Sword and the Milky Way Sword will not end here …"
After that, his figure was completely annihilated by the surging mortal world and disappeared from the world.
Li Mu was speechless.
"This old eunuch is definitely out of his mind."
"Surpass my ass! Didn't you see the current situation? The second prince, the pretentious brat, has the upper hand?"
"Aren't you making me look for a successor in such a high-profile way?"
"What if I can't run away?"
He looked at the bright yellow imperial edict floating in the sky and felt the pressure and energy it carried. He weighed in his heart whether he could resist the power of the imperial edict if he activated the Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal.
At this time, Li Mu already had the idea of retreating.
"If the scumbag magistrate can't stand it anymore, I'd better run away as soon as possible and take as many people as I can with me."
"Li Gang, you've come to a dead end. Why don't you surrender?"
The second prince stepped on the high pavilion and looked down from above, with confidence and bearing as if everything was under his control.
The five Natural Experts had all recovered their strength and were not suppressed by the Sky-stabilizing Mirror. They stood behind him.
With the imperial edict, he had the upper hand.
Even if the strange orchid infusion appeared again, he would not be afraid at all.
Li Gang stopped running his Cultivation Method to heal himself. His face had returned to normal. He looked up at the distant pavilion and said flatly, "I'm not guilty."
"Hahahaha." The second prince laughed and said, "Guilty or not, it's not up to you. Didn't you say that if the emperor wants the minister to die, the minister has to die? I'm not the emperor, so you can't die. Now, the imperial edict of the emperor is above, what else can you say? The situation has come, and it's useless to quibble. You're also a hero of the generation, so I can give you a dignified death … Kill yourself. "
Li Gang smiled faintly and said, "It's just a forged imperial edict … Your Highness, do you know you're guilty of falsifying an imperial edict?"
Hearing that, the second prince raised his sword-like eyebrows and said coldly, "It seems that Your Excellency Li won't give up until he sees the coffin."
Li Mu listened on the side and felt that this kind of conversation was really not meaningful.
Today, he came to the second prince aggressively for revenge, but now it seemed that Li Gang, the scumbag, was not strong enough. Although Li Mu had some tricks, but … He was thinking about how to deal with it later. He turned his head and fell on the white-clothed masked young man beside him. An idea came to him, and he curled his lips and whispered, "Hey … Hey, yes, it's you. What's your name?"
"This young man is a fighting genius."
Li Mu instinctively felt that he should make friends with this young man.
When it came to anti-earthquake geniuses, it was better to make some good karma than to make enemies. Countless otakus on Earth fantasized about traveling back in time 20 years ago and treating Ma Yun and Ma Huateng to a meal … The logic was the same.
The young man was seriously injured, and his shoulder was bleeding just now.
Seeing Li Mu winking at him, he didn't want to talk to him, but after all, Li Mu had saved him twice, so he reluctantly and carefully transmitted a voice, "Zhao Yu."
Hearing that, Li Mu felt that he had heard this name from somewhere.
After thinking carefully, Devil Li patted his thigh and suddenly said, "Ah, I remember. Zhao Ling, the arrogant girl I recruited as a maid in the county government, has a brother who is said to be a genius. His name is Zhao Yu. You are Zhao Yu, the first genius of the young generation of the Taibai Sword Faction, aren't you?"
The masked young man in white was dumbfounded, and his face suddenly turned green.
He had worked hard to cover his face and never exposed his martial arts background in the battle. Even at the moment of death, he was ready to cut off his face with a sharp blade. The only reason was that he didn't want the second prince's people to know his background, so as not to bring disaster to the Taibai Sword Faction. But as a result, he was called out by Li Mu just like that …
For a moment, he even wanted to pounce on Li Mu and bite him to death.
But facing Zhao Yu's resentful eyes, Li Mu said indifferently, "I heard from the arrogant girl that you were born with the so-called sword seed, and your talent is unparalleled …"
"You are the one born with the bastard."
Zhao Yu felt that Li Mu's words alone could erase the two times he had saved his life.
"Shut up." Zhao Yu said.
Li Mu was stunned, and then he realized a little.
He patted his forehead and said apologetically, "Well, I'm sorry, I exposed your sect. Well, anyway, you've been exposed. You can take off your mask to breathe. It's hard to say if you keep covering your face. I don't mean to criticize you, but a mask is not as good as a mask. I know in Chang 'an, there is a tool workshop with excellent workmanship, especially good at making masks. The price is fair, and they are honest …"
Zhao Yu now believed the description of his fellow apprentices.
"This Li Mu is a devil."
And in the process of Li Mu's jesting, there was a new change in the overall situation.
