For some unknown reason, Murong Gong was alarmed when he saw Li Mu’s movement.
Subconsciously, he summoned his unique weapon, the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Double Hooks. Before he had time to hold them in his hands, he felt a beam of glaring light flashing across in front of his eyes. The light was as dazzling as white snow under the blazing sunshine, obscuring all the scenes in his sight.
Then, a strong force came rumbling at him.
The shrill sound of the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Double Hooks rang out.
Having fought numerous battles, Murong Gong had abundant experience in fighting.
He immediately manipulated his power and gave up holding the hooks. Just when he was about to fight back, a chill suddenly came over his chest like a basin of cold water which was poured on burning charcoal, completely extinguishing all his reactions and natural qi.
A sweet scent surged to his throat.
Murong Gong opened his mouth and uttered a shout, and then he flew backward involuntarily as if he were mounting the clouds and riding the mist.
He faintly heard the exclamations of surprise from the people around him.
Everything was already over the moment he came to his senses.
Standing below the Immortal-slaying Platform, he stared blankly at the person on the platform.
Li Mu had already sheathed his broadsword.
The fight was over.
It ended before it even started.
The Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Double Hooks turned into two streams of light, one blue and the other red, curling around Murong Gong. Only Murong Gong, who had the same mind as these two old fellows who had kept him company for decades, could feel how frightened they were.
He looked down at his chest.
His clothes and armor were broken.
A thin line of blood ran from his left shoulder to his right abdomen through his chest, almost separating his body into two parts. The wound was deep into the bone, and the Broadsword Qi almost hurt his internal organs.
The broadsword wound had cut off all the natural qi in his body.
It also prevented him from accumulating enough energy to use the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Skill that he had practiced so hard.
“How could he know where my weak point is?”
Waves of shock surged through Murong Gong.
It was the biggest secret of his power.
He took out a pill, crushed it, and applied the powder to his wound. As the scent of the pill filled the air, the wound disappeared in an instant. He cast a glance at Li Mu and turned around to leave.
The noise around him was still sounding in his ears.
Because Li Yidao had already established his reputation in the previous fight with Lin Qingxuan, this fight attracted the attention of many watchers, and the people from various sects came to observe Li Yidao’s way of fighting. Undoubtedly, the result shocked all of them.
The practitioners from the Heavenly Voice Star Region couldn’t believe it.
Although Murong Gong was not the top Heavenly Legend from the Heavenly Voice Star Region, he was a well-known practitioner. Before the fight, he was considered a player who was superior to Li Yidao. However, it turned out that he did not even perform as well as Lin Qingxuan from the Storm Star Region, and Li Yidao instantly defeated him with a single strike.
The practitioners from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, who came here to take chances, looked very happy and excited.
Li Yidao had performed miracles repeatedly, which greatly surprised them.
Unknowingly, they began to favor and support him as the top Heavenly Legend from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region!
The prestige was built up step by step in the process of winning fights.
For the Saint of Blood Sea and the others who came over after hearing the news, this was undoubtedly an embarrassing and disappointing scene. Li Yidao won the fight again. The gap between them and Li Yidao was widening in all aspects.
The Bloody-moon Evil Master looked at Li Yidao in the fighting ring in a somewhat strange way.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he just felt that he seemed to have met Li Yidao somewhere else.
Of course, this was just an intuition.
It was not an aura that he could feel directly or a clue that he could find.
“Who on earth is he?”
The Bloody-moon Evil Master couldn’t recall right away.
…
“Young Master, Young Master, you won again.”
The little fox girl Bi Yan happily congratulated Li Mu, holding his arm.
“Congratulations, Young Master Li.” Dongfang Piaoliang also came over to congratulate him with a happy look.
“Thanks to your information, I have found the methods to defeat Murong Gong.” Li Mu said, still assuming a humble stance.
While they were talking, several practitioners from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region hesitated for a long time and then came over to greet Li Mu.
“Hero Li!”
“Young Master Li, you surely deserve to be called the top Heavenly Legend in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. We are really excited about that.”
“You defeated the opponent with one strike in an unparalleled manner. Hahaha, Hero Li, you are the pride of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. We are proud of you.”
The practitioners seemed very excited.
“Thank you for your support.” Li Mu was nice and gentle to these warm-hearted people.
One should never hit a smiling person.
Li Mu’s posture obviously made these practitioners from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region feel more excited, and they began to worship this new legend from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region even more.
“Hero Li, there will be a fight between the Heavenly Legends from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region and the Eternal Wind Star Region on No. 64 Immortal-slaying Platform after a short while. Would you like to go there to help?” said a young practitioner with big eyes and bushy eyebrows, looking at Li Mu expectantly.
Li Mu was intrigued.
“Okay, let’s go and have a look now.”
In those days, he did not pay attention to the fights of the other Heavenly Legends among the top ten Heavenly Legends in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region on the Immortal-slaying Platforms. He did not know whether they would win or lose. It was good for him to go and have a look.
Li Mu suddenly felt that it was a rare opportunity for him to win the so-called Open Tournament of Heavenly Legends from one hundred Start Regions.
Not only could he observe the different martial arts of various sects, schools, and Star Regions, but he also could see the geniuses from one hundred Star Regions, watch their ways of fighting, and learn from them. This would be of great benefit for his path of martial arts.
For those reasons, it was good for him to go and have a look.
The group of people walked toward No. 64 Immortal-slaying Platform.
When they arrived, the fight had begun.
The Heavenly Legend from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region was the young man in black with a sword on his back.
The opponent was a 30-year-old practitioner using Fiery Twin Spears. He was a short fat man looking like a meatball. However, he could thrust the spears continuously with long natural qi, and he was exquisitely skilled in using the spears. His competitiveness was not to be ignored.
The young man in black had drawn the black sword from his back.
It was a strange sword with black cutting edges and a black blade. The cutting edge on one side was the same as that of an ordinary long sword, but the cutting edge on the other side was like saw teeth.
It was a saw-tooth sword!
It was a strange weapon.
Such a saw-tooth sword was rarely seen.
Li Mu watched the two competitors for a while. He found that the two of them were well-matched in strength. It would be fair to say that they found each other’s match. For a moment, neither of them could defeat the other.
As expected, the fight lasted for two hours.
Finally, the practitioners from the two respective Star Regions cheering for them almost lost their voices, and they were almost exhausted from shouting.
Li Mu got bored with watching the fight and did not see anything favorable, so he got up, ready to leave. Just then, the situation in the fighting ring suddenly changed.
The young swordsman in black suddenly changed his move and performed a technique that he had never used before. In an instant, some black mist began to swirl in the fighting ring.
Li Mu’s eyes lit up.
This sword skill… was exquisite!
“Pfft…” With a muffled groan, the man using spears fell back. A long fiery spear fell to the ground, and the fat spearman backed off.
The result of the fight was clear.
The short fat Heavenly Legend from the Eternal Wind Star Region had three bleeding wounds, which were in his left shoulder, left arm, and the back of his left hand. He was injured by the young swordsman in black who performed an odd technique. He staggered back a few steps, his face turning pale, and his head slightly lowered.
The young man in black sheathed his sword. “You lost.”
“Well…” The short fat Heavenly Legend from the Eternal Wind Star Region lowered his head, and his body trembled slightly.
Just when everyone thought that he had admitted defeat, a vicious look suddenly flashed across his eyes, and he launched a stealthy attack. With a bright flash of light, he thrust the other long fiery spear at the young swordsman in black.
The audience burst into an exclamation.
The young swordsman in black was not prepared for the sudden attack, and his left shoulder was pierced through by the spearhead.
“You… are despicable.” The young swordsman was enraged.
“Hahaha.” The short fat Heavenly Legend laughed loudly. “As long as I have not fallen off the platform, you can’t say I have lost. I’m just using the rules reasonably. You are too naive.”
The long fiery spear in his hand was like a venomous dragon, frantically attacking the young swordsman who had lost the initiative.
The audience around him threw curses at him.
At first, the practitioners from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region thought that they would see another victory on their part. None of them had expected that the short fat Heavenly Legend would be so shameless.
“Shameless.” The little fox girl Bi Yan also got angry.
Dongfang Piaoliang snorted and said, “There is indeed such a rule for the open tournament on the Immortal-slaying Platform. Although that Heavenly Legend from the Eternal Wind Star Region is a little unscrupulous, there’s nothing we can do about him, because he could be deemed to have used the rules reasonably.”
Li Mu narrowed his eyes and said, “It doesn’t matter.”
Before his voice faded off, a scream rang out, “Ah…”
An arm flew into the air.
That fiery spear was also in the air.
The face of the short fat Heavenly Legend from the Eternal Wind Star Region looked horribly pale. His entire right arm was cut off from his shoulder, and blood was gushing out like a spring. The exposed bones looked as if they had been cut with a saw. He was staggering and could no longer stand steadily.
“You…” He stared at the young swordsman in black with his eyes flaming with resentment. He couldn’t believe that things turned out this way while he had already taken the initiative and had an absolute advantage.
The young swordsman in black walked over step by step, dragging his blood-stained saw-tooth sword. Without saying anything, he raised his foot and kicked the short fat man off the Immortal-slaying Platform.
“Are you going to admit defeat this time?”
He stood on the platform and looked down at the stout Heavenly Legend.
The latter struggled to his feet, with his eyes full of resentment. He angrily shouted, “You… how dare you break my arm, you…”
The young swordsman said, “You should thank the Heavenly Fox Clan. If killing were allowed on the Immortal-slaying Platform, you would have been a dead man.”
The practitioners from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region burst into cheers.
Li Mu was impressed by the young swordsman in black.
“When the young swordsman was in dire straits just now, he performed two extremely odd techniques in a row. These techniques seemed to be specially designed for the saw-tooth sword, and they were so powerful…
“That means this young man has not gone all out in the election of the top ten Heavenly Legends of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
“This is very interesting.”
While Li Mu was thinking, a domineering and arrogant voice suddenly rang out below the Immortal-slaying Platform.
“Brat, you are really heedless of the consequences. How dare you injure someone from the Eternal Wind Star Region so badly? I will let go of you if you break one of your arms yourself. Otherwise, I will let you know what regret is.”
Wearing a loose robe, a young man with long hair, who seemed to be living a wild, unrestrained life, slowly walked up to the Immortal-slaying Platform, blocked the way of the young swordsman, stared at him, and said word by word in a clear and unquestionable manner.
“It’s him.” The look on Dongfang Piaoliang’s face changed slightly.
Li Mu turned his head and asked, “Who is he? Is he famous?”
Dongfang Piaoliang nodded with a solemn look on his face.
