"To tell you the truth, I'm really annoyed by villains like you. You claim to be masters, but you threaten me with the relatives and friends of others. Since you've become a whore, don't put up a memorial arch, okay? Is this the style of the Dark Tianyun Palace, the number one Holy Clan in the Northern Wilderness Region? I have to inform you that you've pissed me off! "
Li Mu directly raised his hand, and a white broadsword qi cut through the air and slashed diagonally behind him.
The dust in the air was cut open.
A faintly discernible black shadow emerged from the ripples in the air.
"You … can actually find me?"
The shadow was very vague, and its face could not be seen clearly. With a scream, it flashed and disappeared again.
A strange sound rang in the air, like spider silk passing through water.
Li Mu unsheathed the White Cloud Green Water Knife, and layers of knife light appeared around him.
Ding, ding, ding!
Tiny sparks sputtered.
When everything was over, Li Mu saw that the blade of the White Cloud Green Water Broadsword was covered with densely packed dents and potholes, and there were dozens of soy-sized cracks on the edge of the broadsword.
"This saber can be considered half-useless."
Li Mu put away the White Cloud Green Water Knife.
From the perspective of his previous life, this weapon, which was called a famous knife in this world, was actually very ordinary. All kinds of magic weapons made by the cultivators in the universe with Taoist magic arts and interstellar metals were far sharper and more powerful than this knife. But after all, it was one of the symbols of Li Zhiyuan's identity in this world, and Li Mu did not want this knife to be really broken here.
"I'll put it away first, and when I have time, I'll make it myself."
Li Mu spread out his Divine Consciousness.
The long street was desolate and devoid of life.
He could even detect the movements of insects and ants in the soil under the pavement, but it was difficult for him to capture the figure hiding in the dark.
Suddenly, the subtle and strange sound of the spider silk passing through water rang again.
Li Mu's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and like a cat, he suddenly saw the picture in his field of vision.
It was indeed a kind of filamentous object that was almost invisible to the naked eye. As if it was alive, it shot through the air at a high speed.
Previously, it was this kind of strange filamentous object that had almost destroyed the White Cloud Green Water Saber. It was a strange weapon with terrible attack power.
Li Mu reached out with his hands and grabbed all the filaments with his bare palms. Then, he twisted his wrists and wrapped the horrible filaments around his wrists. Then, he pulled hard.
On the other end of the thin thread, the blurry black shadow was pulled out of the ripples in the void like a fish that had swallowed bait.
"This is impossible."
The black shadow's face was blurry, but his tone was extremely shocked.
Obviously, he could not understand why the thin thread that could cut the famous broadsword could not shred Li Mu's palm when it was wrapped around his wrist. That was simply illogical.
The black shadow was holding a handle in his hand. In a hurry, he quickly let go of the handle, so that he was not directly dragged to the front by Li Mu.
Like a fish plunging into the bottom of the water, he flashed in the air and then disappeared.
Li Mu grabbed the handle in his hand and took a closer look. It was something like the mouthpiece of a horsetail whisk. All the strange filaments were tied by the mouthpiece of the horsetail whisk, so that the black shadow could pull the filaments at the other end and save his palm from being cut.
"It seems to be a part of a kind of horsetail whisk weapon, but it is not complete."
Li Mu was not very interested in this weapon.
He didn't like these strange and strange weapons.
What interested him was the strange stealth skill that the black shadow used several times and disappeared in front of him.
Li Mu observed very carefully.
That was not a Taoist magic arts to hide the trace, nor was it a terrain to blur the sight, but a kind of combat skill that seemed to be invisible in the interlayer of space. Once hidden, there was no power fluctuation, and it was extremely difficult to detect.
If he had mastered this concealment and assassination skill in his previous life, it would not be a problem for him to assassinate martial arts masters across two poles.
The Divine Awareness tempered by the Xiantian Skill quietly spread out. After careful observation, he could not detect the trace of the black shadow.
"Interesting."
Li Mu thought for a while and continuously released Knife Qi and Knife Lines in different directions. He attacked indiscriminately, but he still could not capture the figure of the opponent.
Suddenly, the back of his neck was slightly numb.
A slender dagger like the fangs of a black poisonous snake stretched out from the void and pierced the back of Li Mu's neck.
But Li Mu's reflexes were fast. With a backhand grab, he caught the hand that was holding the slender black dagger. Then, he exerted his strength and pulled the black figure out of the void as if he were pulling a carrot.
Although this kind of stealth skill was magical, its weakness was actually very obvious. At the moment when he made a move, his trace would still be exposed.
"Haha, Li Zhiyuan, you are finished. Even if you catch me, what can you do?" The black shadow did not struggle. Instead, he laughed and looked at Li Mu, saying, "You have been poisoned by my God's Sob Poison. Even if you are a peerless master in the eleventh Immortal Transformation Realm, your cultivation will fade and you will lose the power to fight again. You … huh? What's wrong with you? "
Halfway through his words, he suddenly found that the strength of the hand holding his wrist did not decrease in the slightest. It was still as strong as iron. On Li Zhiyuan's extremely handsome face, there was a faint smile of mockery. There was not the slightest panic and sullen anger after being poisoned.
"Stealth, sneak attack, poison … Xuan Tianyun Palace is really … tsk tsk tsk, still disappointing." Li Mu gently shook his wrist.
Crack, crack.
The black shadow only felt a shock in his right arm, and then a heart-wrenching pain came from all over his body. His whole body fell limply, and no one knew how many bones were broken into pieces. Blood gushed out from his mouth and nose. He was left with his last breath and lost the power to fight back.
"Ah, you …" The black shadow roared, "How dare you treat me like this, you …"
Li Mu raised his hand and slapped him, saying, "Shut up."
At this time, it could be seen clearly that the black shadow was wearing a strange armor, like fine and dense black fish scales. Not only did it cover the body and limbs, but even the head was covered inside. It was like a close-fitting bodybuilding jumpsuit with a silk stocking head cover.
What armor was this?
It was the first time Li Mu had seen it.
He directly took off the head cover of the black shadow, revealing an ordinary face of about sixty years old. There was no distinguishing feature, as if he was a passerby with no distinguishing features.
"So it's just a ninth realm cultivator. How arrogant. I thought you were an old monster in the eleventh realm of the Xuan Tianyun Palace. You want to assassinate me with this armor and this kind of stealth technique? I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet. "
At this time, Li Mu accurately judged the cultivation realm of this person.
"You … why are you not afraid of the God's Sob Poison?" The man's face was full of resentment and unwillingness. He said, "I once killed an expert at the peak of the tenth realm with this poison. Even the peerless experts in the eleventh realm can't be immune to all kinds of poisons."
Li Mu was not interested in continuing this topic. He changed the topic and said, "Why don't we make an exchange? You tell me the mystery of the stealth combat skill you used, and I'll tell you why I'm not afraid of your poison. Isn't it fair? "
"Haha, you … do you think I … am a three-year-old child?" The man sneered and his breath was weak.
"Useless stubbornness." Without hesitation, Li Mu began to grope his body. Soon, the whole black fish scale-like armor was peeled off his body.
Under the armor, this person also wore a shirt and carried some valuable things with him, among which was a secret book called "Spirit Hiding and Ghost Escaping".
Li Mu opened it and casually glanced at it. He was 100% sure that it was the mysterious stealth martial art that the man had used before.
The man's face suddenly turned pale like a defeated rooster. His eyes were full of despair and resentment.
"Congratulations, you're in luck. You found the secret book. At least I don't need to use torture to force you to confess. Once you confess, I can send you on your way," Li Mu took the secret book and flipped through it.
"Haha, hahaha …" The man laughed bitterly like a madman.
He stared at Li Mu and said fiercely, "Li Zhiyuan, you're too naive. You don't even know what kind of enemy you're facing. Even if you're the youngest God Desperate Realm expert in the Northern Wilderness Region, it's useless." The viciousness and ruthlessness in his eyes seemed to be able to squeeze out venom. He laughed bitterly and said, "I'll wait for you on the road to hell. You won't live for long either. Hahahaha, no matter how strong a genius is, he's just a pitiful person in front of them."
After he finished speaking, terrifying black pus flowed out of his mouth.
Self-defense?
So unyielding?
Li Mu was a little surprised.
At this moment, something strange happened.
It was as if the man was thrown into sulfuric acid. He gave off an unpleasant smell and his body instantly turned into black liquid. He bounced up and turned into a net, pouncing towards Li Mu.
"There's such a poison?"
Li Mu's eyes lit up.
His figure moved, and he easily dodged this inconceivable sneak attack.
The black liquid net landed on the ground and made a sizzling sound. The bluestone ground was corroded and a deep, irregular pit was formed.
The battle was over.
Li Mu held the secret book in his hands and read it carefully. He was not in a hurry to leave.
The whole street was still empty. There was no one in sight and the fog was thick.
Li Mu focused on reading the secret book of Spirit Concealment Ghost.
It only took him 15 minutes to finish reading it.
He read it again.
In the time it took for half an incense to burn, Li Mu read the secret book three times. He already understood.
At this moment, the fog and dust on the street gradually dissipated.
Silhouettes appeared in the distance, and many of them wore bewildered expressions.
"Just now … did I encounter a ghost wall?"
"You felt the same way too? I don't know why, but I feel like I've been walking in circles. "
"It's the fog. This fog is strange."
Amidst the discussion, the originally deserted street quickly became crowded with people and carriages again.
