A voice suddenly came from behind him. Li Mu turned around abruptly and saw a short and extremely ugly man standing not far behind them. He was looking at them with a sinister gaze.
He was shocked. With his current spiritual sense, he actually did not know when this person had approached. It could be seen that this person must be a cultivator who had concealed his presence. His mana was not any lower than Li Mu's.
And from what he had just said, Li Mu instantly guessed his identity. He did not expect the Zhao clan to be so cautious, taking action so quickly. In order to hide the matter of Lin Wan, they had actually invited a cultivator.
Zhang Shan's expression was vigilant. He asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm someone sent by the Zhao clan." After the dwarf appeared, Li Mu knew that today's matter could not be resolved peacefully. He silently drew the Azure Rainbow Sword in his hand and stood in front of Zhang Shan. He said, "You go first. Go back to the yamen and find someone …"
Facing this dwarf, Li Mu himself was not afraid. In those three days, he had figured out many things. The dwarf before him gave him the feeling that his strength was about the same as Han Zhe's, and was slightly weaker than Li Qing's. He had an artifact in hand and a few secret techniques that he had hidden at the bottom of his chest. As long as he did not encounter an expert of the middle realm, even if he could not kill the enemy, he could still protect himself.
Hearing Li Mu's words, Zhang Shan turned around and ran without hesitation. If he stayed, he would only be a burden to Li Mu. After being a constable for so many years, he had been in danger many times. He knew very well what he should do at this time.
"Run? Where can you run to?"
With a flash, the dwarf appeared in front of Zhang Shan, blocking his path.
Zhang Shan was unable to dodge in time. The dwarf raised his hand and struck out a yellow talisman, sticking it to Zhang Shan's chest. Afterwards, he felt that his raised foot was as heavy as a thousand pounds. His body seemed to be imprisoned by something, and he could not even move his fingers.
Not only that, but his vision and hearing seemed to have been sealed as well. Everything before him was pitch black, and he couldn't hear anything.
The dwarf used the same trick again and threw a talisman at Li Mu. The talisman was extremely fast, but Li Mu was already prepared. With a light wave of the Cyan Rainbow Sword in his hand, the Fu-lu was cut in half in the air.
Although his cultivation level was not high, after thoroughly familiarizing himself with this body, he still had the basic skills of a constable.
The dwarf did not become angry after his attack failed. Instead, he stood where he was and used a greedy gaze to look at the azure rainbow in Li Mu's hand. He could not help but lick his lips and say: "I didn't expect a minor official like you to have such a magic item in your hands. This is a great deal …"
Li Mu did not open his mouth. He clenched the Azure Rainbow Sword in his hand and focused all of his attention on the dwarf.
From the way he fought, this dwarf should also be a cultivator of the Dao. Daoism had a wide variety of spells and abilities, and the Fu-lu was even more wondrous. If he was not careful, he would fall into his trap. He had to be extremely careful.
Seeing how powerful the magic item in Li Mu's hands was, the dwarf did not let down his guard and maintained a certain distance from him. If one's cultivation had not reached the middle three realms and had not cultivated a Primordial Spirit, there was a possibility of him being killed by a mortal. If he were to be stabbed or slashed by that sword, he would probably lose an arm or a leg today.
The dwarf stared at Li Mu. Suddenly, he took out a handful of black pieces of paper from a pouch at his waist and threw them towards Li Mu's body …
Taking a closer look, he discovered that these were all black paper dolls. Black fog surrounded the paper dolls and they actually emitted a dense ghostly aura. They floated in the air and instantly surrounded Li Mu.
"Heretical Cultivation!"
Li Mu became vigilant. This dwarf's methods were clearly not orthodox Daoism. Although he did not know how powerful these paper dolls were, he definitely could not let them get close to him.
Li Mu had seen the monk Xuandu in action before. He knew that there was nothing more suitable than Buddhist abilities to deal with such ghostly techniques.
His lips moved slightly and he chanted the Heart Sutra using the Forbidden Words ability. His body immediately emitted a golden light. When those paper dolls came into contact with the golden light, the black fog surged and boiled. They actually combusted one by one and in the blink of an eye, they were all reduced to ashes.
"Buddha's Light!"
Seeing the golden light on Li Mu's body, the dwarf retreated a few steps. Shock appeared on his face as he blurted out, "You actually know the moves of those bald donkeys!"
Although he looked down on those baldies, he could not deny that Buddhist abilities had a natural restraining effect on Demonic Ghosts and their Heretical Cultivation. He did not expect that the petty official before him would actually know Buddhist abilities. With this, most of his ghostly techniques would be rendered useless.
He had originally thought that he would only be dealing with two petty officials. He did not expect that one of them would not be easy to deal with. Looking at Li Mu, a hint of viciousness suddenly appeared on the dwarf's face. His hands quickly formed seals and he chanted in a low voice.
Li Mu could faintly hear him reciting, "God of Heavenly Shadow, Star Lord of Blood Killing, Star Lord of Blood Saber, Star Lord of Blood Poison, Star Lord of Blood Inspection, Star Lord of Four Stars Bright, Sun and Moon Bright …"
A slightly stunned expression appeared on his face.
Li Mu was not unfamiliar with this incantation. This was Daoism's "Blood Slaughter Incantation". It was a technique recorded in that introductory book.
The might of this technique was extremely strong. After it was executed, it could cause the blood of the target to boil instantly, killing them on the spot.
Although it was a Daoism technique and possessed extremely great might, it had always been abandoned by orthodox Daoism due to its extreme viciousness. Only those with low-level Heretical Cultivation would cultivate it.
The reason why only those with low-level Heretical Cultivation would cultivate it was because the incantation for this technique was extremely long. Normal abilities would only have a few incantations, and Daoism techniques would only have a few words. However, the incantation for the "Blood Slaughter Incantation" had more than a dozen sentences and more than three hundred words. It could not be used in a head-on battle at the same level.
Under normal circumstances, this incantation would only be used for a prepared sneak attack, or to attack someone whose strength was far inferior to the user.
It was very obvious that this dwarf still did not place Li Mu in his eyes. Or rather, he did not think that Li Mu had the strength to kill him.
Li Mu kept the Green Rainbow Sword unhurriedly. He stood where he was and quietly watched this dwarf recite the incantation.
The incantation for the "Blood Slaughter Incantation" had more than three hundred words. It was impossible to finish reciting it in a single breath. If this dwarf could use a three hundred word incantation to kill him today, Li Mu would eat the Green Rainbow Sword on the spot.
The dwarf stared at Li Mu. Seeing that Li Mu did not make any movements, he calmed down. After catching his breath, his lips trembled once again, "Once Mu Lang arrives, thunderbolts will blast him away. Today, I have decreed that I cannot stop for long … "
Li Mu had long since memorized the incantation for the Blood Slaughter Incantation. Just as this dwarf was reciting the last few sentences, Li Mu formed a hand seal unhurriedly and softly opened his mouth.
"Appear."
Boom!
Before the dwarf could finish reciting the incantation, a white thunderbolt suddenly descended from the sky, accurately striking his head.
Under the thunderbolt, his body was turned into charcoal, and his soul also dissipated instantly.
A gust of wind blew past, and the dwarf's corpse turned into ashes, completely disappearing from the world.
Li Mu withdrew his hand seal and let out a light breath.
For Daoism techniques and Divine Abilities, the shorter they were, the stronger they were.
Many times, being short was not necessarily a bad thing.
