Strange Taoist was dead.
His body was entangled by the lightning and was instantly torn into minced meat.
His death was cruel, and he died without a complete corpse.
Everyone stared at Li Muyang with their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they were seeing with their own eyes.
"What happened just now? You — — killed Strange Taoist? "Unpredictable immortal hissed with a horrified expression.
The one who found it most difficult to accept this fact was Unpredictable immortal. It should be said that Strange Taoist was a master who had been famous for decades. With his exquisite Big Dipper Technique, he had dominated the entire divine continent, and countless experts had died in his hands. Moreover, this person had a strange personality and would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Anyone who offended him would be killed by him using all kinds of vicious methods, so most people were unwilling to offend him.
Everyone had old and young people. Who would want to provoke such an idiot? He could kill thieves in one day, but he could not guard against thieves all the time.
This young guy in front of him killed a master of the Withered Glory realm by himself. Just what was his background?
What was worse was that he and Strange Taoist were one body, advancing and retreating together. They were jointly invited to carry out the secret mission of killing the Lu Family's Lu Qingming. Now that Strange Taoist was dead, they would also be in danger.
Unpredictable immortal was already seriously injured in the battle with Lu Qingming. However, because of the existence of Strange Taoist, he did not have any worries. What could the similarly injured Lu Qingming and the group of brave but weak black-clad cavalry do?
In the end, only death awaited them.
It was just a matter of dying first and dying later.
What he didn't expect was that Yan Xiangma, who came out of nowhere, would turn the tables.
The others were also dumbfounded.
Lu Qingming was still hovering in the air, the silver spear in his hand buzzing, ready to fight to the death with Unpredictable immortal.
"Gongzi Xiangma — —" Lu Qingming was ecstatic.
He knew what Strange Taoist's death meant to them.
If gongzi Yan Xiangma blocking Strange Taoist's killing palm was to pull him back from the clutches of death, then Li Muyang killing Strange Taoist was to save him and all his black-clad brothers.
Now that Strange Taoist was dead, there was only Unpredictable immortal to worry about.
He could live, and so could his brothers.
Although they had already paid a heavy price, being able to preserve a spark and return to Tiandu alive meant a lot to the Lu Family.
The grievances of the dead needed someone to complain, and the tombstones of the dead needed someone to pay respects.
The last group of black-clad soldiers were still charging forward, but when they reached Strange Taoist, Strange Taoist had turned into a rain of blood that splashed over their faces and bodies.
They charged through the red blood rain, then reined in their horses and turned around, looking up at the sky.
Then, the soldiers of the battlefield started to grin.
They were not afraid of death, and they were prepared to die.
However, if someone could protect the general in their place, it would be something worth celebrating.
"Roar …"
A black-clad soldier raised the West Wind blade in his hand and shouted, to vent his joy, and to pay his respects to Li Muyang.
"Roar …"
The 26 black-clad soldiers who were lucky enough to survive also yelled out loud, raising the West Wind blade in their hands to express their gratitude to Li Muyang.
Li Muyang waved his hand at them, indicating that they don't need to take it to heart.
When he looked into their eyes, came into contact with their deep emotions and ecstasy, his expression grew solemn.
Li Muyang placed one hand on his chest and performed the standard military etiquette of the Empire.
Not to mention that Lu Qingming was Lu Qiji's biological father, the Lu Family was an important force to protect his parents and sister.
Just the bravery and fearlessness of this group of black-clad soldiers at the time of danger and the spirit of sacrifice were enough to make one's heart moist and eyes brim with tears.
When Li Muyang was still a good-for-nothing youngster in Jiangnan city, his favourite thing was to read all kinds of superhero novels.
He envied the ability and luck of the male protagonists, but more often than not he would be moved by the affectionate and loyal supporting characters around the male protagonist.
Sometimes the supporting characters did not even have a name, but could always live in Li Muyang's mind.
The Lu Family's black-clad soldiers were such a group of supporting characters.
He did not know their names, but that did not prevent him from respecting and cherishing them. He also risked his life to save them.
"Interesting. It's really interesting. " Unpredictable immortal burst into a hearty laughter. Because his face was too much like a woman, even though he was displaying a very heroic action, it still gave people a feeling that he was a 'sinister person'. "The famous Strange Taoist was killed by an unknown youngster. If this matter were to spread out, it would certainly cause a shock in the divine continent, right? "
Li Muyang sneered, "I'm not interested in the shock of the divine continent, but I'm very interested in whether you will be shocked or not."
"Oh. Is it because I'm beautiful? "
"Speak properly, don't be disgusting." Li Muyang really could not stand his pretentious appearance.
"Humph." Unpredictable immortal was infuriated by Li Muyang's blind behaviour. Clasping his sword, he glared angrily at Li Muyang. "You're from the Yan family of Tiandu?"
"So what?" Since Li Muyang had previously mentioned the name of Yan Xiangma, he had no choice but to endure to the end. "I'm telling you, our Yan family is full of talented people, there are many masters, if you go it's like throwing a meat bun to a dog — —"
After a moment's thought, he felt that this was too insulting to his good friend Yan Xiangma.
So, Li Muyang hurriedly changed his words. "You won't be able to return if you go. Of course, you won't have the chance to go again. "
"As far as I know, Tiandu Cui family and Tiandu Lu Family have been opposing each other for hundreds of years. Your Yan family and the Cui family are of the same breath and branch, mutually agreed to be engaged. So I don't understand, why would you, a member of the Yan family, go all out to help the Lu Family? " Unpredictable immortal voiced out the doubt in his heart. "Have you never thought that maybe Strange Taoist and I were invited by your Cui family and the Yan family?"
Lu Qingming could not help shifting his line of sight to Li Muyang.
Lu Qingming knew that this young man was not Yan Xiangma, because he knew the real Yan Xiangma.
But, who was this person? Why did he mention the name of Yan Xiangma? Could it be that he was a young hero of the Yan family that he did not know about?
Thinking that this person was from the Yan family, he could not help but feel a little regretful. If the Lu Family had such a son — — Oh, the boy of the Lu Family was also extremely outstanding, every time Madam sent him a letter she would praise him. A few days ago he had also heard that Starry Sky Academy's Dual Master of Painting and Calligraphy Gu Huangwu thought highly of him and accepted him as a disciple, causing a heated discussion and attention throughout the divine continent.
Unfortunately, Father made such a ruthless and decisive choice back then, he most likely had broken the child's heart, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Qingming could not help but let out a deep sigh.
Every family has their own difficulties!
"Yes, why does the Yan family desperately protect the Lu Family?" Li Muyang smiled wryly in his heart. Even he himself suspected that the attack on Lu Qingming was the work of the Cui family. He had heard from Lu Qiji that the Cui family wanted to retaliate against him and his family, and it was the Lu Family who protected his family in Tiandu. Moreover, the two families had been enemies for hundreds of years, it was not surprising that there were several assassination incidents in between.
However, since he had already called him Yan Xiangma, there was no reason to overturn his identity at this time.
As a result, Li Muyang thundered, "Do you think you can drive a wedge between me and Uncle Lu with just a few words? Our Yan family and the Lu Family have some conflicts, but that is only because of different political ideas — — The Yan family is a powerful family that has existed for hundreds of years, we would never do such an evil thing like hiring assassins to kill people. This kind of behaviour is the act of a rogue, we disdain to do it. Since I, Yan Xiangma, have encountered such a thing, then I have to stand up for justice and sacrifice my life to save him. This is to live up to the character and reputation of our family that we have accumulated for thousands of years. "
"Character and reputation of a family?" Unpredictable immortal giggled incessantly. "I hope what you said is what you think in your heart. Otherwise, such a young boy is so shameless, I don't know what kind of monster he will become in the future — — "
Before his voice faded, Unpredictable immortal's body suddenly retreated rapidly.
The beautiful clothes quickly disappeared, and it looked like it was about to retreat into the thick fog of the bamboo sea.
Shrinking the ground to inches!
The escape version of shrinking the ground to inches!
Li Muyang thought to himself that when he returns to Starry Sky, he must ask Teacher Xiahou to teach him this unique Taoist footwork. It was extremely effective for both fighting and escaping.
Most importantly, he looked very majestic and at ease.
"Don't think of escaping."
Li Muyang bellowed, about to charge forward.
"I'll do it." Lu Qingming bellowed, already dashing out with his silver spear.
Soon, the two figures disappeared without a trace in the sea of fog.
By the time Li Muyang and the numerous black-clad soldiers caught up, Lu Qingming had already knocked Unpredictable immortal to the ground, the tip of his silver spear pressed against Unpredictable immortal's neck.
"A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated." Unpredictable immortal's face was as pale as paper, a large amount of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. "Kill me."
"You're a scholar?" Lu Qingming sneered. "You can die if you want to. But you have to answer me a question — — who sent you? "
Unpredictable immortal giggled, but because his laughter was too intense, it affected his internal injuries, causing him to vomit more blood.
"You should know that in our line of work, we have long disregarded life and death — — we can ignore life, law, ethics, human feelings, but we have to abide by the rules of an assassin. Otherwise, it will be a disgrace to the entire assassin industry, and will be reviled by generations of assassins. "
"The only rule to abide by is: never reveal the identity of the employer."
