Chapter 546 Arrogant Man and His More Arrogant Broadsword

“It’s actually not that hard to rip your head off.”

When Li Mu held the head of Qu Yi, Lord of Cold River City, and said this, all was silent.

The experts of the nine sects gawked at this scene. Their minds went blank.

Under the heavy protection of guards, and with the intense encirclement of the enemy, Lord of Cold River City, whose cultivation was in the Void-breaking Realm, was beheaded again. If it was in the past, such a scene could not happen at all. But now, it was displayed in front of everyone.

At this moment, the dignity of the nine sects was trampled underfoot.

“Ahhh…” The miserable whining of Qu Yi’s spirit fluctuation was heard.

His blood qi was rolling as he wanted to put his body parts back together. Yet, balls of fiery flames were flowing and burning in the blood mist, continuously burning the power of the blood qi. Every time Qu Yi’s body parts started reassembling again, they were burned up by the scarlet flames before the faint image of Qu Yi had become completely concrete, which made him scream out in pain uncontrollably.

Since he could not regather his body, he would only die.

“No…” He bawled in horror, “Let me go!”

Qu Yi began begging Li Mu for mercy.

Li Mu had no sympathy for him at all.

On the way here, he had heard from a distance how Qu Yi decided to deal with Ye Wuhen. That was really savage means. He was shameless and debauched to the extreme. It showed how cheap his character was. The stronger this kind of person was, the more harm he would cause. Hence, he should be sent to hell without any pity or sympathy.

The scarlet Emperors’ Fire circled around Qu Yi.

After Li Mu had cultivated the primitive natural qi, the power of the Emperors’ Fire had doubled, which was enough to threaten experts in the Void-breaking Realm.

Being burnt by the flames, the blood qi, the physical body, and the Divine Soul of Qu Yi were all dying out.

“Help me…” The eyes on Qu Yi’s head looked around at the experts of the nine sects and the mouth uttered its pleading.

However, at this time, no one dared to attack Li Mu again.

Just now, when Li Mu displayed the Grasping the Bird’s Tail, he accumulated his momentum to absorb the blows from the sky and made all the blows bounced back. That move was too horrible, turning the never-failed siege strategy of the nine sects against themselves. Moreover, Li Mu’s sky-cracking broadsword light was so powerful that even the experts in the Void-breaking Realm could not resist it. So, how could the others go rescuing Qu Yi?

To rescue him at the risk of losing their own lives?

How was that possible?

For most people, their lives were always more valuable than others’.

Countless eyes flickered to Li Mu with horror and fear.

Even the Void-breaking Realm experts such as Tan Rushuang, Li Muzi, Ran Guangyao, and Lu Tianhua were no exception.

They had truly lost the nerve to continue the fight.

Ye Wuhen, who was lying prone on Li Mu’s back, was so pleasantly surprised that she found words had failed her.

Before the battle, she already saw that Li Mu was very strong, much stronger than her. But she never knew that he was as powerful as such.

How did the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect reach such a level?

She simply couldn’t imagine it.

“No, no, no. Spare me. Please let me go. We, Cold River City, are willing to surrender to the Divine Sect. From now on, as a lackey of the Divine Sect, we’ll obey your orders. Don’t kill me. Don’t…” Qu Yi, Lord of Cold River City, had completely given up his self-esteem. Under the threat of death, he made him a total fool. In order to survive, he implored in all kinds of ways.

The nearby experts and disciples of Cold River City felt their faces burning with shame.

How could their lord, their sect leader, say something like that?

All of them lowered their heads with humiliation.

But Li Mu was not softened at all.

In the shrill screams and cries of pleading, Qu Yi, the giant on the Bitter Star as well as the lord of Cold River City, finally died under the gaze of countless experts from the nine major sects.

The whole process took a full fifteen minutes, during which no one around dared to move.

After that, instead of leaving, Li Mu directed the Moon-scrubbing Broadsword at the heads of the nine major sects.

“Is there anyone else who is unwilling to accept the defeat and wants another round?”

He leveled his broadsword and stood upright, unscrupulously inviting the experts to battle.

Not to mention the experts of the nine major sects around, even Ye Wuhen, who was on Li Mu’s back, turned pale.

“Is he so powerful?

“He wants to fight again?”

Some quick-witted experts of the nine major sects had been wondering whether Li Mu had reached the end of his strength after such a fierce battle. But now, not only didn’t Li Mu leave but he also raised his broadsword and invited them to continue the fight. In an instant, they discarded such wonder. A man who was at the end of his rope would definitely take the opportunity to escape instead of daringly inviting them to fight again, right?

Being pointed at by the blade, the crowd turned ashen-faced and retreated.

“A bunch of cowards,” Li Mu sneered and said, “the nine major sects are nothing more than this.”

The experts of the nine sects were angry, but they still did not dare to make a move.

Li Mu’s arrogance was awe-inspiring.

He was arrogant, while his broadsword was even more arrogant.

In the face of the wild broadsword, even gods would back off.

Since no one challenged him again, Li Mu dragged his machete in the void and started to head in the direction of White Emperor City.

However, at this moment, Ye Wuhen suddenly detected that Li Mu’s muscles were trembling slightly.

She was startled and immediately realized that Li Mu was definitely not as fine as he seemed to be. He was already injured or in a state of exhaustion. The prior imperious challenge was not really an act of arrogance but a bluff.

Ye Wuhen rested her head lightly on the nape of Li Mu’s neck without saying a word.

Li Mu seemed to have sensed Ye Wuhen’s mood. He turned back and smiled at her, not saying a word either.

In the eyes of the experts of the nine major sects, this scene was more of the couple’s showing off their affection for each other, which was also a kind of provocation.

But according to their logic, the more conspicuous this provocation was, the more it showed that Li Mu was fearless.

No one dared to stop them.

Nor did anyone dare to speak.

The experts of the nine sects that were standing in the direction Li Mu was heading for retreated at once, making way for him, as if they were seeing Li Mu off.

Watching Li Mu walk out of the encirclement of the nine sects step by step, Ye Wuhen’s heart, which was hanging in the throat, finally returned slightly to its original place. Then, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But just then, something bizarre happened.

From the Desktop Peak in the distance, a column of black light suddenly rose to the sky and reached the heavens. As deafening thunderclaps sounded, the column of black light moved like the Sky-splitting Sword. In an instant, the black light dyed the sky, which had already turned a little bright, pitch-dark again, as if countless demons were going to jump out of the darkness. A suffocating pressure was incessantly pervading the place.

Everyone was shocked by this turn of events.

Joy suddenly appeared on the face of Tan Rushuang, the Top Sword of West Sea.

“An extraterrestrial immortal has descended!” he shouted.

Li Muzi, Lu Tianhua, Duan Feng, and the others cottoned on. Their faces were instantly written with ecstasy.

The moment they had been waiting for finally arrived. The immortal from outer space had finally descended on this world!

Before that, they had set up the reception tactical deployment on the Desktop Peak and made all the preparations, waiting for the immortals to come. But for some reason, the immortals of the Extraterrestrial Divine Immortal Clan had yet come to them. However, to everyone’s surprise, when things went to this point, an immortal suddenly connected to the reception tactical deployment and landed on this planet.

The column of black light linked heaven and earth.

When Li Mu saw such a scene, he knew he was in trouble.

If there were any cultivators from outer space coming at this time, things would be a little tricky.

As expected, Tan Rushuang and the others turned their head in Li Mu’s way, eager to try and stop him.

Since there was an immortal from outer space coming, as long as they could hold Li Mu back until the immortal completed the descending, they could surely kill Li Mu and get rid of this scourge

“Run, quick!” Ye Wuhen whispered in Li Mu’s ear.

Her breath was like orchids, emitting a delicate fragrance.

Li Mu shook his head.

It was not the time to run away.

If he immediately ran at full speed, given Tan Rushuang and the others’ wits, they would definitely see the truth and attack him together with all their might. That would instead expose Li Mu’s pretense.

He did have some trump cards, but he did not want to use them unless he had no other choice.

“Is an extraterrestrial cultivator coming?

Well, I’d like to see which sect in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region that cultivator belongs to.”

Speaking of extraterrestrial cultivators in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, he had met a lot of them and also killed many.

After deliberating for a moment, Li Mu chose to stay instead of running away. He stood still, turned around, and looked out at the Desktop Peak.

Tan Rushuang and the others were ready to go tangling with Li Mu. However, that sight gave them another spasm of fright. Their intention to attack Li Mu immediately vanished. Further, they even start to run away from him.

Li Mu had already made them once-bitten people.

“Swoosh!”

A jet of black sword light finally landed on the Desktop Peak.

In less than 10 seconds, the sword light cut through the sky and arrived at the battlefield.

A young woman in a black gauze dress, shrouded by murderous Sword Intent, stepped out from the sword light.

A mighty aura that did not belong to this world was rotating around her. Even the experts in the Void-breaking Realm seemed small and weak in front of this woman.

“We pay our respects to you, Immortal.”

“Greetings, Fairy.”

Tan Rushuang and the others did not dare to slight her at all. The supreme beings of the Void-breaking Realm of the nine major sects, who had all along looked down upon others and regarded the common people as nonentities, saluted solemnly at the black-dressed woman at once.

“Humph, a group of good-for-nothings. How can you get yourselves into such a miserable state?”

The woman in the black gauze dress sounded mean. She scolded the supreme beings in the Void-breaking Realm as if reprimanding a group of ignorant children. She was not polite to them at all.

Nonetheless, Tan Rushuang, Li Muzi, Duan Feng, and the others did not dare to show a single bit of annoyance. Instead, they apologized repeatedly.

The nine sects on the Bitter Star were founded and patronized by extraterrestrial factions, who had been remotely controlling them in the dark. To put it more bluntly, they were just a group of minions raised by some extraterrestrial forces. In front of the living creatures in the Bitter Star World, they felt a sense of superiority. However, in front of those extraterrestrial cultivators, they were like slaves and had no backbone at all.

“Where is that monster of the Devil Cult?” the woman in black gauze dress asked.

Tan Rushuang and the others pointed at Li Mu.

“Humph, it turns out to be a boy who hasn’t even reached the Void-breaking…” The woman in the black gauze dress suddenly broke off. As if someone had seized her neck, she just could not finish her remark.

She simply felt that the young man wearing a faint smile in front of her looked very familiar, particularly his figure and appearance. Wasn’t he the nightmare that had haunted her day and night in the past couple of years and made her edgy as if sitting on pins and needles every time she thought of him?

“Haha, it’s you. I was wondering who the extraterrestrial immortal is.”

Li Mu gave a faint smile, his face full of undisguised sarcasm.

This woman in the black gauze dress was exactly the same black-dressed woman of Black Killing Tower that Li Mu had come across during the exploration of the Tomb of the God of Sin on the Divine Land.

She was also one of the extraterrestrial cultivators who had started a feud against Li Mu in the battle of the Tomb of the God of Sin but not killed by him in the end. Unexpectedly, Li Mu met the woman again after such a long time.

Li Mu’s stare made the heart of the woman in the black gauze dress beat wildly. She felt that the scenes that happened in the Tomb of the God of Sin in the past began to reappear in front of her.

That day, she hid in the distance and saw with her own eyes that the disciples and elders in Soldier Realm of various sects were hacked to death by Li Mu’s podao at the foot of the Five-finger Mountain. She also witnessed that in the end, even Fairy Emperor of Light was killed… Li Mu was like a killing god, invincible while wielding his broadsword. The slaughter of the experts of various Immortal Clans had appeared in her dreams countless times like a curse.

“You…” Gripped by intense fear, she subconsciously turned around and flew in the opposite direction.
