"To think that you are also a cultivator." The tall and thin man glanced at Li Mu and said calmly, "Looks like that useless junior brother of mine died in your hands?"
The only one who died in Li Mu's hands was the dwarf invited by the Zhao family. He did not expect that the other party would have a senior brother. Li Mu's gaze swept across the tall and thin man. When his gaze swept past his eyes, his heart suddenly tightened.
This person's eyes were not like that of a normal person. Within his eyeballs was a pair of vertical pupils!
A normal person could not possibly have such pupils. Almost instantly, Li Mu guessed the reason and blurted out, "A shapeshifting demon!"
There were nine realms of demon cultivation. The first realm was called Awakening. Demons in this realm could only develop basic spiritual intelligence. Their intelligence was like that of a three-year-old child. When demons cultivated to the second realm, Embryonic Molding, their spiritual intelligence was no different from that of a normal person. They could understand humans, speak human language and move quickly. Although they still had the body of a beast, their body had already undergone a metamorphosis. Most of the beasts in the forest were no match for shapeshifting demons.
The White Fox that Li Mu saved was in this realm. However, she might have just undergone Embryonic Molding. Otherwise, she would not have been caught by the hunter's trap.
The third realm, Shapeshifting, was a stage where a demon cultivator's strength would increase explosively.
Human cultivators, whether they were Daoists or Buddhists, their first metamorphosis was when they entered the middle three realms from the lower three realms.
However, demon cultivators were different. Their cultivation was much more difficult than humans. However, after Shapeshifting, they could truly be reborn. Their bodies were incomparably tough. Coupled with their race's abilities, they were much more difficult to deal with than ghosts.
Even a cultivator at the third realm, Spirit Condensation, would have a headache when faced with shapeshifting demons.
Li Mu who had only condensed one soul. If not for the Nine Syllables Mantra that was comparable to Daoist techniques, he would not be much different from a normal person. It would already be difficult for him to deal with a shapeshifting demon, let alone shapeshifting.
The tall and thin man sized up Li Mu. A trace of doubt appeared on his face as he questioned, "Although my junior brother was useless, he still had the cultivation of Spirit Condensation. The mana fluctuations on your body are so weak. At most, you have only refined one soul. How did you kill him?"
Li Mu did not answer.
"You don't want to talk?" The expert looked at Li Mu, grinned, and said, "If you don't say it now, I'll peel your skin, pull out your tendons, and search your soul, then I'll know everything …"
At this moment, Li Mu's lips moved slightly as he softly uttered a syllable.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly descended and struck the tall and thin man's head.
Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief. After realizing that the other party was a shapeshifting demon cultivator, he raised his guard in his heart.
In the Nine Words Mantra, the first word, Thunder Method, was his biggest and only killing move. When facing an opponent who was much stronger than him, he had to concentrate all his attention and spirit to ensure that he could kill him in one blow.
Otherwise, he would be the one to die.
Li Mu looked in the direction of the man, his pupils constricting.
When the lightning struck, the tall and skinny man didn't turn into charcoal like the dwarf.
His figure disappeared into thin air, leaving behind only a yellow talisman.
Puff …
After the talisman fell to the ground, it burned on its own and turned into ashes.
The tall and skinny man's figure appeared in another direction. At this moment, he was no longer as calm as before. His face was pale and filled with fear as he said in shock, "Thunder Method!"
Thunder Method was a remarkable ability that only cultivators of the middle realm could use. If the young man opposite him was a middle realm expert, he would definitely die today.
In fact, if not for the Substitute Talisman that he bought at a high price two years ago that blocked the lightning for him, he would already be dead.
The tall and skinny man's body trembled as he said in panic, "Thunder Method, you haven't even refined the seven spirits, how can you know Thunder Method … No, this isn't Thunder Method. Thunder Method can't be used so quickly. This is a Dao technique, a Dao technique!"
Even cultivators of the Assembled Spirit realm couldn't master Thunder Method, let alone Refined Spirit realm. Only the legendary Dao technique could mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth in such a short time with insignificant Dharmic power.
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck, but the tall and skinny man was prepared and dodged nimbly.
Boom!
Boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
Bolts of lightning struck down, leaving charred pits in the ground nearby. However, not a single bolt of lightning struck the tall and skinny man.
The tall and skinny man's initial panic gradually turned to surprise and calmness. In the end, he looked at Li Mu with a mocking gaze and said, "Strike, strike again. So what if you know Dao techniques? Once I search your soul, this Thunder Method Dao technique will be mine …"
In contrast to the tall and skinny man, Li Mu's expression grew more and more solemn.
It was only now that he realized that after using Thunder Method to scare away the evil ghost and kill the dwarf, he had a wrong understanding of his own strength.
In terms of cultivation, he was like a baby. Even if he had a sharp weapon in his hand, he was still no match for an unarmed adult.
As his Dharmic power gradually dried up, his face slowly turned pale. In the end, he could no longer release lightning.
The tall and skinny man still maintained a distance from Li Mu. At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and a jade-green tongue shot out from his mouth. Like a vine, it wrapped around Li Mu's neck.
Just as the tongue was about to wrap around Li Mu, Li Mu suddenly flipped his palm. A yellow talisman appeared in his palm and he stuck it on the tall and skinny man's tongue.
This was the Fu-lu that the dwarf used to freeze Zhang Shan.
The tall and skinny man's tongue froze in the air. His body also froze for a moment. However, in the next moment, his tongue began to wriggle again. Clearly, that Fu-lu couldn't completely freeze it.
However, for Li Mu, a moment was enough.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck the tall and skinny man's head directly.
His clothes turned into ashes and his body was also turned into charcoal in an instant.
A faint shadow slowly floated out from his charcoal corpse. It was a huge lizard. It floated in the air and its fist-sized eyes stared fixedly at Li Mu. It roared with incomparable rage, "Lowly food, you dare to destroy my body. I will chew your soul bite by bite …"
With its body destroyed, it was extremely furious. It pounced towards Li Mu from the air.
Li Mu put his palms together and his lips trembled. His body gradually emitted a golden light.
The lizard's shadow was blocked outside the golden light. Every time it wanted to approach, it would be burnt and forced back.
It floated in the air and stared coldly at Li Mu. It said sinisterly, "So what if you know Buddhist scriptures? I want to see how long your Dharmic power can last!"
Li Mu's body was shining with golden light. However, his heart had already sunk to the bottom.
The countless bolts of lightning just now had already exhausted his Dharmic power. However, it still did not completely destroy this lizard spirit. At this moment, he was only relying on the Dharmic power in the string of Buddhist prayer beads.
Li Mu could feel that the Dharmic power in the string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand was almost exhausted.
The Bay of Clearwater was not far ahead. Li Mu gritted his teeth and ran forward.
The lizard spirit's soul followed behind him and said coldly, "I want to see where you can run to. Today, no one can save you!"
Bang!
Li Mu ran for more than ten steps. The Dharmic power in the string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand was exhausted and shattered.
At the same time, the Dharmic light on his body disappeared in an instant.
Li Mu felt the world spinning. Then, his vision turned black and he fainted on the ground, unconscious.
The lizard's shadow had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Seeing this, it laughed maniacally. It opened its mouth and pounced towards the fallen Li Mu.
However, as it pounced, it could only wave its four claws in the air. Its body did not move at all.
The lizard spirit twisted its body and saw that not far behind it, a woman in white was floating in the air. One of her hands was grabbing onto its tail.
That hand looked very slender, but it seemed to have a huge force that made it unable to break free.
Feeling the aura of the woman in white, its eyes were filled with extreme fear. It said in a trembling voice, "Spare, spare …"
The woman in white's eyes were indifferent. She took a light breath and the lizard spirit's soul immediately collapsed. It turned into a cloud of mist and was sucked into her body.
Su He's face was filled with satisfaction. She flew down and picked up Li Mu by the waist. Then, they disappeared into the depths of the forest by the river …
