“I… I was looking for her just now, but I didn’t find her. Bi Yan probably went out to do something, and she should be back soon.” The Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang, hesitated for a moment and then decided to hide the truth about Bi Yan for the moment.

He was afraid that Li Mu would be provoked by the truth.

Moreover, he was not sure about Li Mu’s current state.

The rumors out there could be true or false, and there would be no waves without wind. Dongfang Piaoliang vaguely heard some “truth”.

Li Mu nodded and did not think much about it.

“Do you want to challenge me?” Li Mu looked at the Heavenly Legends from some unknown Star Regions who were provoking and making a scene in the courtyard just now.

“You… didn’t you die?”

“That’s right. We want to challenge you… so what? On the Immortal-slaying Platform, everything was just about victory or defeat and was not a matter of life or death. What… what do you want?”

These Heavenly Legends thought Li Yidao was dead, so they came here to deliver their letters of challenge following the trend. They tried to make a scene unscrupulously to show that they were more powerful than others, but now they felt a little uneasy.

Anyway, challenging and mocking Li Yidao had become something that was “politically right” these days.

However, they didn’t expect that Li Yidao, who was in closed-door training, no, who was said to be dead, would suddenly show up when they came to challenge him.

Before he initiated his closed-door training, Li Yidao’s performance in fights was quite frightening.

Li Mu didn’t bother to say anything useless to them.

He took the letters of challenge sent by these Heavenly Legends from the Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang. Without even opening them and having a look, he said, “Let’s hurry up and go to the Immortal-slaying Platform.”

After that, he said to Dongfang Piaoliang, “Didn’t you say that your study was filled with letters of challenge? Well, send someone to bring them to the Immortal-slaying Platform. I will fight with the challengers one by one, which will save me the trouble of finding and challenging them one by one.”

Dongfang Piaoliang opened his mouth but did not utter a word.

He had a vague feeling that Li Yidao, who had just come out of seclusion after closed-door training, had changed.

He became high-spirited and vigorous, giving off a strong vibe that enabled him to look askance at all the heroes in the world.

He used to be calm and seeking progress quietly before the closed-door training, but now he was aggressive as an unsheathed sharp-edged saber giving off dazzling light.

The several Heavenly Legends were a little dumbfounded.

They just came here to “follow the wind”, and they didn’t really intend to fight with Li Yidao on the Immortal-slaying platform.

Things were going the wrong way.

They walked toward the Immortal-slaying Platform, feeling anxious.

At the same time, the news that Li Yidao had come out of his closed-door training spread rapidly like a bird on the wing. In an instant, the news shocked all the forces in the Divine City of the Imperium Vulpes that were concerned with the fights between Heavenly Legends from one hundred Star Regions.

He was Li Yidao, who could take a soul away with a single strike.

He was not dead.

He was not severely injured.

He showed up.

He showed up again after being in closed-door training for over 20 days. Had his strength been enhanced?

To what extent had his strength been enhanced?

No one knew.

All of a sudden, countless peopled turned their eyes to the Immortal-slaying Platform, the challenge area.

“Next.”

Standing on No. 21 Immortal-slaying Platform, Li Mu announced loudly.

By this time, three fights had been fought.

Below the Immortal-slaying Platform, the three Heavenly Legends from some unknown Star Regions, who went to the posthouse to make trouble, were now lying on the ground in a coma like dogs with broken spines, and their limbs were twitching.

These three Heavenly Legends, who ranked below the top 600 among the Heavenly Legends from one hundred Star Regions, were absolutely no match for Li Mu even before his strength was improved, not to mention the fact that his strength had now been greatly enhanced.

With just a casual strike, Li Mu directly knocked each of them off the Immortal-slaying Platform, and he did that three times in a row.

On the way to the Immortal-slaying Platform, Li Mu already learned the approximate duration of his closed-door training and some things that happened during the training from the Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang.

Therefore, Li Mu struck heavy blows.

These three Heavenly Legends in a coma would suffer miserably even if they didn’t die this time.

Li Mu would never have mercy on those who held a candle for the devil.

At this time, the area around No.21 Immortal-slaying Platform was already crowded with practitioners from various Star Regions. Except for some spots where the three Heavenly Legends were lying in a coma, the other places were jammed with people.

“The next one.”

Li Mu looked at the people below the Immortal-slaying Platform.

The four posthouse guards standing beside Dongfang Piaoliang placed a big box on the ground. Dongfang Piaoliang took out a letter of challenge from the box, read the name on it, and said loudly, “Zhang Bulao, the No. 3 Heavenly Legend from the Shining Star Region, please mount the platform for a fight.”

The crowd burst into an uproar.

The face of a 20-year-old young man with bulging eyes suddenly turned a little pale.

Some people around him turned to look at him.

This person was Zhang Bulao, the No.3 Heavenly Legend from the Shining Star Region.

Zhang Bulao had never expected that such a day would come.

Like the three Heavenly Legends who had been knocked off the platform, he also followed the general trend and sent a letter of challenge to Li Yidao. He just wanted to join in the fun and show off.

After all, the rumor said that Li Yidao was severely injured even if he were not dead. Zhang Bulao thought that he might as well challenge Li Yidao, so that when he was bragging to others, he could say something bold like “Even Li Yidao, who could take a soul away with a single strike, dared not fight with me after he received my letter of challenge.”

However, he never thought that Li Yidao, who was said to have been “severely injured even if he were not dead”, would actually be standing on the Immortal-slaying Platform, unscathed.

Under the gaze of many people, Zhang Bulao stepped onto the Immortal-slaying Platform with a pale face to face the challenge of Li Yidao.

The more slowly he walked, the more reluctant he felted.

However, no matter how fearful he was, he had to step onto the platform.

It was because this fight was not about life or death, but instead, it related to glory, courage, and dignity. If he gave up fighting because of his fear, the practitioners in the entire Ziwei Star Zone would look down upon him.

Defeat and fear were two different things.

“Li Yidao, I challenged you because…” Standing on the Immortal-slaying Platform, Zhang Bulao wanted to say something.

However, Li Mu didn’t wait for him to finish at all, because he didn’t want to waste any more time. He directly raised his hand and slashed at this Heavenly Legend from the Shining Star Region, who ranked the 436th among all Heavenly Legends. The latter spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and passed out.

“The next one.”

Li Mu said again.

The audience around the Immortal-slaying Platform burst into an uproar again.

Dongfang Piaoliang took out another letter of challenge from the big box behind him and said loudly, “Fang Xing, the top Heavenly Legend from the Blue Star Region, please step onto the Immortal-slaying Platform for a fight.”

Fang Xing happened to be in the crowd.

Hearing his name, he stepped onto the platform with a scared look on his face, trembling with fear.

“Young Master Li, I…”

Bang!

Without looking, Li Mu raised his broadsword and struck a blow.

Fang Xing became the fifth Heavenly Legend lying unconscious on the ground.

“The next one,” Li Mu said.

An even louder uproar came from the crowd around the Immortal-slaying Platform.

Sure enough, Li Yidao had his own style, knocking down each challenge with only one strike.

In less than half an hour, five Heavenly Legends were knocked out, lying unconsciously on the ground like dead dogs. There was no sign showing Li Yidao’s strength was weakening. It seemed that the rumors about Li Yidao’s serious injury were not true.

Of course, the five Heavenly Legends who had been defeated were not very strong among the Heavenly Legends from one hundred Star Regions.

From these five fights… no, to be accurate, from these five strikes, it could be seen that Li Yidao maintained at least the combat capability he had before he started his closed-door training.

However, Li Yidao was simply too powerful now.

The competition between the Heavenly Legends from one hundred Star Regions was coming to end today. There had been all kinds of fights. One fight shocked the entire Ziwei Star Zone. It was the fight between Wang Yanyi, a newly rising Heavenly Legend called the “God of Sword”, and Chu Mingyu, the Heavenly Legend ranking the19th. In the end, the “God of Sword”, Wang Yanyi, defeated Chu Mingyu and made his way to the top 20 Heavenly Legends from one hundred Star Regions.

However, there had never been someone like Li Yidao, who carried a big box filled with letters of challenge, called the names of his challengers one by one, and defeated them one by one.

The “God of Sword”, Wang Yanyi, focused on the quality of his challengers, and he always picked the strongest opponent whenever he challenged others or was challenged by others. In contrast, Li Yidao focused on the quantity of challengers. He was not picky about his challengers at all. He defeated all of them one by one as if he were a wholesaler.

Bang!

Another strike.

Another Heavenly Legend was knocked off the Immortal-slaying Platform.

At this moment, the space around No. 21 Immortal-slaying Platform was jammed with densely packed layers of practitioners from various regions, forming a boundless sea of people. The six or seven adjacent Immortal-slaying Platforms looked like small islands in a vast sea of people, being temporarily out of operation.

In less than half an hour, hundreds of thousands of practitioners had come to watch the fight after they heard the news.

The officials of the Heavenly Fox Clan had decided to use their techniques to broadcast this fight live on the Immortal Net.

The Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black also showed up among the practitioners.

“Haha, Li Yidao has returned from his closed-door training. This time, he will kill those snobbish bastards one by one.” The Machete Loli was very excited.

The young swordsman in black looked calm. He tried his best to pretend to be calm and emotionless, but the burning desire in his eyes betrayed him. He was not as calm as he looked.

Not far away from them, the Saint of Blood Sea, the Bloody-moon Evil Master, and the Immortal Saint showed up.

The mood of the Saint of Blood Sea and the others was completely opposite to that of Machete Loli and the young swordsman. They felt extremely disappointed and frustrated, because the situation was completely different from what they had expected.

Li Yidao had come out of seclusion, and the king had returned!

Like the bright sun in the sky, Li Yidao completely covered their glamor in an instant. Even if they were unwilling to admit it, they had to accept it. As a Heavenly Legend from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, Li Yidao was like a divine bird undergoing nirvana and a snake transforming into a dragon, and now he was beyond their reach.

Just then…

“The next challenger is Gu Tianyu, the top Heavenly Legend from Spirit-breaking Star Region!”

The Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang, called out another name.

In an instant, the crowd fell into silence.

The uproar suddenly stopped.

Gu Tianyu, the top Heavenly Legend from Spirit-breaking Star Region, ranked the 95th on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions.

He was a real genius who had made his way into the top 100.
