“How dare you stop me?”

Li Mu looked at the Witchcraft Saint.

Given his current status, he was qualified to say so.

The face of the Witchcraft Saint was expressionless and looked like that of a zombie. He said, “I dared not in the past, but now I dare. After all, your head is worth a fortune, and it is even more valuable than you have expected.”

Li Mu smiled. “Is it more valuable than your own head?”

The Witchcraft Saint’s figure rose and fell along with the swaying branches of the pine, like a ghost. He said, “Of course not. The thing is, can you kill me now?”

Li Mu said, “You can come over and give it a try.”

“That’s not necessary. A cornered beast can do something desperate. Nobody knows what a desperate thing you might do,” the Witchcraft Saint said, “I’ll keep an eye on you secretly until you’re exhausted and deal a death blow to you then. So, from now on, you have to be careful.”

His voice faded away.

He directly turned into a column of smoke and disappeared into the distance.

“At last, let me kindly remind you that my witchcraft is omnipresent. If you are bewitched, you will surely die. So you must be careful when you eat, drink, sleep, practice and rest.”

The Witchcraft Saint’s voice echoed through the mountains.

Li Mu released his hold on the handle of his broadsword.

If Huangfu Chengdao, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan, was an evil tiger and Feng Xingyun, the Nether Ghost, was a vicious wolf, the Witchcraft Saint was a hyena.

The hyena was the weakest, but it was the craftiest.

It would follow and observe its prey in secret. It would never take any risk. When the wounded prey was weak and dying, it would rush up, tear the prey apart and devour the prey mercilessly.

The reason why the Witchcraft Saint showed up and said those words was not that he wanted to kindly remind Li Mu.

He just wanted to cause psychological stress on Li Mu, so that Li Mu’s energy would be consumed more quickly while Li Mu was on high alert.

Li Mu stood there and thought for a while. He smiled faintly.

“You’re trying to bring ruin upon yourself.

“Very good. You’d better all show up at the same time so that I can eradicate all of you at one time.”

Li Mu regulated his power and breath on the spot, regained some vigor, and then continued to move on.

About half an hour later, he drew his broadsword and killed two Heavenly Legends who were hunting him down.

He did not know if the two Heavenly Legends took the side of Huangfu Chengdao or Feng Xingyun. As soon as they saw him, they immediately attempted to stop and kill him. Naturally, he would not be soft-hearted. He cut each of them in half with a slash.

He made a storage jade medallion and took the two corpses away to avoid leaving any trace.

After a short while, another figure appeared in the area where Li Mu fought against the two Heavenly Legends.

“The smell of blood?”

“There is Li Yidao’s aura in the air. It seems that some people have found him before we do.”

“But unfortunately, they were killed by Li Yidao.”

“A centipede does not topple over even when it is dead. Li Yidao still has the strength to fight, so we have to be careful.”

There were many people pursuing Li Mu. Finally, someone figured out the direction in which Li Mu escaped by observing the tracks left behind. They followed the tracks to hunt him down.

Boom!

Suddenly, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed in the sky.

Heavy rain fell from the sky.

The raindrops were mixed with hail and sleet.

The weather was very strange.

Li Mu stood on a piece of rock protruding from the cliff face and looked in the direction of the mountain of bones tens of thousands of miles away.

He certainly could not see through the high mountains, but he had a feeling that such a strange climate change should have something to do with what happened in the mountain of bones. “There are dead gods, 100-meter-high giants, giant demonic corpses, nine-headed divine birds, and giant dragon-eating apes dragging chains… What on earth has happened there?”

Li Mu looked at the wounds on his left shoulder and left arm and found that the wounds were showing signs of healing.

He had some magic herbs that he plucked in the Everlasting Heaven and some spare elixirs on him. Moreover, his body was tempered by the Xiantian Skill and Zhenwu Boxing. Therefore, he recovered much better than his enemies had imagined.

That was one of his trump cards.

Footsteps came from behind him.

Some other Heavenly Legends came to hunt him down and kill him.

He curled his lip and smiled coldly.

Then he unsheathed the Samsara Knife.

“Go to hell.”

The fight began on the rainy night.

In the end, Li Mu jumped off the cliff and disappeared into the darkness.

The top of the cliff was covered in bloodstains.

He put away all the corpses.

After half an hour, Feng Xingyun, the Nether Ghost, and his protectors arrived there.

“He has escaped again.”

Feng Xingyun looked a little shocked and grave.

The situation was quite different from what he had imagined.

Li Mu should be seriously injured and dying, but he had killed many Heavenly Legends who tried to hunt him down. So far, over half of the Heavenly Legends under Feng Xingyun’s lead had died. Although they were not the people from his clan, Feng Xingyun felt a little distressed about the casualty rate. After all, those Heavenly Legends were all outstanding talents. If Feng Xingyun could take them out of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm and train them, they could become his trusted confidants.

Shadow Elder observed the site carefully for a moment and said, “We don’t have to worry too much. Li Yidao has destroyed all the corpses, which means that he is worried that we can find out how much his fighting ability has declined based on those corpses. He can’t hold on for long. It’s impossible to kill a genius like Li Yidao without making some sacrifices.”

Feng Xingyun nodded.

Shadow Elder said, “The people of the Heavenly Deity Clan, the Witchcraft Clan, and others are also hunting him down… He won’t survive.”

Feng Xingyun suddenly thought of something and said, “The young master of the Green Fox Tribe has also entered the secret realm. Perhaps he will be on Li Yidao’s side. After all, the Green Fox God is openly protecting Li Yidao.”

Shadow Elder replied, “Don’t worry. Our master has already made arrangements.”

“Hmm? Have we lost another four people?”

Huangfu Chengdao, frowned slightly as he looked at the four names fading out on the Bloodsoul Token.

Li Yidao, who was supposed to be a stray dog, remained so active.

Up ahead was a valley that reeked of blood.

There were traces of fighting. The water pool was dyed red by blood, and the grasses and plants were stained with blood.

There was also a line of words carved into the stone wall–

“Whoever chases will die.”

The words were filled with Broadsword Intent. Undoubtedly, those words were left by Li Yidao.

“Ha-ha! He is still trying to play tricks at such a moment.” Huangfu Chengdao smiled indifferently.

Uncle Guan sighed and said, “He’s really a rare genius. It’s a pity that we’ve got to kill him and the Heavenly Deity Clan can’t use him.”

Huangfu Chengdao said coldly, “Having me is enough for the Heavenly Deity Clan.”

Uncle Guan laughed and said, “Of course. This time, the chief wants you to enter the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm to do another important thing. Now it’s almost time, and I can tell you about it.”

“Hmm?” Huangfu Chengdao asked in surprise, “Is there anything else that I don’t know?”

Uncle Guan said, “Well, the most important thing to do after you enter the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm is to get the divine blood. It is a matter that even relates to the fate of the Heavenly Deity Clan for the next ten thousand years.”

“Divine blood?” Huangfu Chengdao was confused.

Streams were flowing fast through a dense jungle.

It had rained for only a few hours, but the valleys between mountains were already flooded.

“Mr. Li, don’t worry. From now on, you will be safe.”

The young master of the Green Fox Tribe stood in front of Li Mu with a sincere look on his face.

Li Mu stared at him without saying a word.

He didn’t expect to run into the young master of the Green Fox Tribe here.

Ever since the fight between them in the main residence of the Green Fox Tribe, the relationship between them had been subtle. If it weren’t for the Green Fox God, Bi Yan, the two of them would be enemies now.

Now the young master of the Green Fox Tribe turned up with over ten Heavenly Legends, who had taken his side, to protect Li Mu.

Ying Yuanyuan and Liao Bi’ting were among them.

“Mr. Li, please do not worry. I am acting upon orders from the Green Fox God, Bi Yan, to protect you and bring the protectors for you,” said the young master of the Green Fox Tribe very sincerely.

Li Mu frowned. “Really? Where are my protectors?”

The young master of the Green Fox Tribe said, “They will show up if you’re in danger.”

Li Mu sneered and said, “I have already encountered danger more than once.”

The young master of the Green Fox Tribe hurriedly said, “They didn’t show up before because they didn’t make it in time. After all, we were separated after we entered the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, so we needed some time to gather up. Fortunately, you are fine.”

Then, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe smiled and said, “Mr. Li, I know that there are some misunderstandings between us. In the past, we did what we did because we served our own masters. My tribe has completely submitted to the Green Fox God now. How dare we go against her orders? She wants to protect you, so even if I am dissatisfied with you, I dare not attack or go against you.”

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

“That makes sense.

“It is impossible that Bi Yan will harm me.

“She has gained control over the Green Fox Tribe. It is understandable that she orders her people to protect me in secret.”

When he thought of that, he lowered his guard against the young master of the Green Fox Tribe and the others.

“Who on earth are the protectors?” Li Mu asked.

“This…” The young master of the Green Fox Tribe looked as if he was in a dilemma. He hesitated over whether or not he should say it.

Just then, a voice rang out. “Forget it. Yan’er, back off. Mr. Li, I am your protector.”

An elegant, handsome middle-aged man in a blue robe turned up.

Li Mu was shocked.

His protector was actually the chief of the Green Fox Tribe.

“It seems that Bi Yan has really done a lot.”

Li Mu nodded and said, “I need to rest for a while.”

He walked straight to the shade under an old pine tree and sat cross-legged on a piece of rock. Then, he began to regulate his breath and circulate his Qi to heal his wounds.

The chief of the Green Fox Tribe didn’t say anything else. He ordered his people to stand guard around Li Mu.

After a while, the battle cries came from the west.

The young master of the Green Fox Tribe glanced at his father, nodded, and then left holding the sword in his hand. After a short while, he returned and said, “I have killed two Heavenly Legends who have taken the side of Feng Xingyun. However, Feng Xingyun is very likely to be in the vicinity.”

The chief of the Green Fox Tribe looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu opened his eyes and said, “With your strength, do you need to be afraid of a junior like Feng Xingyun?”

The chief of the Green Fox Tribe said, “I’m not afraid of Feng Xingyun, but his protector is Shadow Elder, who is a leading figure of the Nether Ghost Clan. I can defeat him, but I can’t kill him. If Guan Zhen from the Heavenly Deity Clan shows up, I can only protect myself, and it’ll be very difficult for me to protect you then.”

Li Mu said, “In this case, you don’t have to stay here to protect me. You can go and pin down Shadow Elder, and find an opportunity to kill Feng Xingyun. By doing that, you can help me solve a big problem.”

The chief of the Green Fox Tribe looked like he was put in a difficult position.
