Li Mu stood in the air. The 24 flying broadswords merged into a giant blade. He held it in his right hand and held it horizontally in front of his chest.
Facing thousands of experts and tens of thousands of troops, Li Mu showed no fear.
He wanted to challenge Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, to boost the morale of his army.
However, on the Flying Whale Shuttle, the old eunuch with snow-white eyebrows stood tremblingly. Facing Li Mu's challenge, he did not react at all. He did not even bat an eyelid.
But Yan Ruyun, the Commander in Chief of the Flying Eagle Battalion, sneered and shouted, "Li Mu, you are Lord Taibai of the empire. You enjoy the glory, but instead of repaying the emperor's kindness, you collude with the Yue Mountain Faction of the Great Moon Empire and work with Qiu Yin who betrayed his master. Do you know what you've done?"
Li Mu waved the long broadsword in his hand and said, "The supporting actor should know his place and go to hell."
"You …" Yan Ruyun was exasperated.
He was born in a noble family and was the Crown Prince's study companion. When had he ever been scolded like that?
But Li Mu's attitude was not to provoke him, but because he really regarded him as a piece of grass.
Yan Ruyun wanted to scold him back, but the crown prince waved him off. Then, he took a step forward and said, "Li Mu, I made an exception to confer you the title of Lord Taibai in the hope that you can serve the country and be loyal to the royal family. You were a humble county magistrate, but you rose to the top of the Dragon Gate, which is a supreme honor that the world envies. But who knew that you have no self-respect? You've wasted my love for talents by working with those rebels. I …"
Before he could finish, Li Mu waved the Samsara Knife again and said, "The supporting actor should go to hell."
The crown prince was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
"I … am also a supporting actor?"
At that moment, Li Mu held the broadsword horizontally. He suddenly changed his mind.
It was wishful thinking to think he could defeat Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword. He came out to challenge Yingshan Snow-eagle only because he wanted to withstand three strikes from Yingshan Snow-eagle and then retreat to boost his morale. But now that he thought about it, that would not solve the problem. How about …
His eyes fell on the crown prince.
"If I directly capture such an important figure of the royal family, the other side will not take action for fear of harming the innocent. That should buy me some time."
What the Yue Mountain Faction lacked most was time.
"Haha, after half a year of sharpening my blade, I have finally entered the battlefield. No one has ever tried the sharpness of my blade. Your Highness, can the blood from your neck help me sharpen my blade?"
With that thought in mind, Li Mu no longer hesitated and directly made a move.
The Samsara Knife emitted a dazzling broadsword light, and the Broadsword Qi broke through the sky.
Li Mu gripped the Samsara Knife. With a flash of light, he and the knife became one. Then, like a bolt of lightning, he darted straight at the Flying Whale Shuttle.
The speed of breaking the sound barrier created ripples in the air, like the surface of a pond suddenly rippling.
The sharpness was unparalleled.
The Crown Prince felt an unparalleled sharpness coming toward him, and his expression changed drastically. He staggered back and said in a panic, "Stop him!"
Xiu Xiu Xiu!
Countless experts standing in the void instinctively swarmed forward.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot … Get away."
The momentum of the Samsara Knife in Li Mu's hand paused for a moment. Then, he slashed out. Immediately, the broadsword light bloomed like flying snow.
Eight Directional Chop.
Instantly, the void was filled with miserable cries.
Blood splattered.
A mist of blood swirled.
The experts rushing at Li Mu were flung backward at a speed faster than when they came, and they suffered heavy casualties.
Li Mu merged with the broadsword light and broke through the air. Like a white horse galloping across a crack, he instantly pierced through the layers of interception. Like a flash of lightning, he was already in front of the Flying Whale Shuttle in a split second.
"You're courting death!"
Yan Ruyun was already prepared. He directly drew his golden bow and circulated his natural qi. As the bowstring vibrated, a golden arrow flew out.
Li Mu's eyes glinted.
"You overestimate yourself."
He patted the back of the broadsword in his hand. As sparks sputtered, the golden arrow was directly slapped back.
"Ah …" Yan Ruyun, a Celestial Being in the Celestial Being Realm, couldn't react at all. With a scream, the arrow he shot out pierced through his left shoulder. The tremendous force sent him flying backward and directly nailed him to the mast in the distance. The arrow was still buzzing and trembling. Then, with a crack, the huge iron and wood mast with a diameter of one meter was directly snapped in the middle and fell down …
The Flying Whale Shuttle was in a state of panic.
That was simply the power of a god.
At the same time, Li Mu had already reached the bow of the Flying Whale Shuttle.
As the broadsword light and Broadsword Qi burst out, the guards around him were tossed away like wheat in a hurricane.
Li Mu flashed and approached again, his broadsword pointing at the crown prince.
Under the envelopment of the Broadsword Qi and the domain dispersed, the crown prince seemed to be scared out of his wits and couldn't move at all.
Seeing that the broadsword was about to cut the crown prince, Li Mu slightly restrained his killing intent. He was about to raise the broadsword and grab the crown prince …
But at that moment, a sudden change took place.
Li Mu's vision was blurred.
A palm appeared in his sight and blocked the long broadsword.
It was an old palm. The skin was like a dried orange peel, and the pale fingernails carried a faint aura of death. At first glance, it looked like the palm of a dead man who had been buried in a coffin and then climbed out. It was dull, jerky, and stiff … A weak palm.
However, it was this palm that slowly and inconceivably grasped Li Mu's unstoppable Samsara Knife.
The old palm and the sharp blade were as clear as autumn water.
The contrast between the two was really startling.
However, Li Mu found that in an instant, the Samsara Knife seemed to have been cast in a piece of magic iron. It could not move an inch or shake the crown prince.
That old eunuch, who was trembling as if a gust of wind could blow away all his bones at any time, had somehow come to stand in front of the crown prince. His cloudy old eyes were slightly opened, and his gray eyeballs were covered with streaks of blood like slithering snakes. They did not look like the eyes of a living person, but the pupils of a corpse. He just stared at Li Mu with a ghastly look.
Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword … finally made a move.
"Open!"
Li Mu bellowed. His divine power burst out, trying to pull the Samsara Knife out.
Even a mountain thousands of feet high would collapse in the face of such divine power.
Li Mu was most confident about his physical strength.
However … the blade only quivered a little.
The Samsara Knife couldn't be pulled out at all.
"Eh?" Sensing the vibration of the blade, Yingshan Snow-eagle's eyes that were like the pupils of a dead man finally showed a trace of emotion.
But it was just a trace.
"Humph." He seemed to be a little interested. As he sneered, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth within thousands of meters suddenly gathered around him.
Through his Third Eye, Li Mu saw that the wind and clouds were swirling. Countless invisible energy grids densely covered Yingshan Snow-eagle's body. If the energy grids formed by other people's Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth were like big fishing nets, Yingshan Snow-eagle's energy grids were as fine as gauze. That kind of energy grids covered his body, arms, and fingers. He seemed to have completely merged with the world.
The Samsara Knife seemed to have been embedded in the world and could not be shaken anymore.
"Young man … I've killed at least a thousand so-called geniuses like you."
Yingshan Snow-eagle opened his mouth. His voice sounded like two pieces of rotten wood rubbing against each other, hoarse, unpleasant, and horrible.
A layer of invisible energy grids spread out like vipers. Along the Samsara Knife, they slithered toward Li Mu's arms and body, intending to confine him completely.
Li Mu withdrew his hand without hesitation.
He loosened the handle of the broadsword. With a flash, he landed on the bow of the ship and lowered his waist.
Having practiced the Lifting Pole Style of the Zhenwu Boxing countless times, Li Mu instantly mastered the skill. He raised his hand and threw a punch. It was the Rocking-sky Hammer.
"Humph." Yingshan Snow-eagle's trembling old palm also launched a Great Monument Smashing Palm.
"Boom!"
The entire Flying Whale Shuttle began to shake.
The deck under Li Mu's feet cracked with a crack.
He only felt as if he had punched the whole world, and the recoil force hit him crazily. Half of his body seemed to be numb. At that moment, he did not hesitate to throw out the second style of Zhenwu Boxing, Sky Hammer. The horrible power roared in his body like a tiger and a dragon, and the incredible power burst out in that punch.
"Humph." Yingshan Snow-eagle's long white eyebrows flew up. He opened his eyes and threw out another Great Monument Smashing Palm.
"Crack!"
The deck under Li Mu's feet was smashed into pieces. He was directly thrown into the air.
His arm was in excruciating pain as if his bones were broken.
But in midair, Li Mu adjusted his posture and threw out two more punches in a row.
Li Mu fully exerted the Cracking Sky and Grasping the Bird's Tail of the Zhenwu Boxing without holding anything back. The two translucent fists tore the void apart like divine swords of light. Like giant energy cannons, they blasted at Yingshan Snow-eagle who was standing on the bow of the warship.
Yingshan Snow-eagle stood where he was without dodging. He raised a palm and pushed.
The Spiritual Qi in heaven and earth swirled. An invisible energy grid wall appeared and blocked the two fist beams.
The deck under his feet cracked soundlessly.
At that time, the crown prince was surrounded by numerous guards, including several experts from the Imperial Executive Yard in the Celestial Being Realm.
At first glance, Li Mu knew it was impossible to capture the crown prince alive.
But Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, was extremely powerful. He was like a bottomless abyss. Li Mu had almost exerted all his trump cards. But even a killing move like the Zhenwu Boxing could not stir up the slightest ripple in that abyss. The God of Massacre who could make Xu Sheng and the others fearful really deserved his reputation.
In fact, Li Mu was well aware of something.
It was an accident that he killed Huang Shengyi with the strength of a first-step Celestial Being.
If he hadn't mastered the Taoist True Fire of the Fire Emperor's Heart-nourishing Scripture in the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures, he would at most be evenly matched with Huang Shengyi on that day. Even Li Mu himself was surprised that he killed Huang Shengyi. Huang Shengyi was a man who played with fire and burned himself to death because of the natural restraining force.
