Chapter 542 A Hack in the Face

Ding Yi made that speech in a murderous manner.

He was drenched in blood, covered in scars and bruises. At the moment, he did look like Death who just stepped out of the sea of blood.

Qu Xuening, known as the Divine Punch and God Foresight, the prominent Young Lord of Cold River City, and a famous hero in Jianghu, just died in front of the lord of Cold River City, the head of West Sea Sword Sect, and the first-class experts of the two forces.

Some people even couldnt believe their eyes.

Over the years, the Divine Punch and God Foresight was absolutely the most important one among the disciples of the nine sects that had been murdered.

And he was killed right here in public.

Qu Yi, Lord of the Cold River City, watched with his own eyes his son be trampled into pieces and died an unnatural death. The fury in his heart was raging like an angry ocean that was going to destroy heaven and earth.

He goggled at Ding Yi unblinkingly and uttered every word full of resentment. From today on, the world, though so vast, has no place for you to live. I will make you understand what is a real living hell!

Oh? Really? Ding Yi laughed merrily, then he demanded, So to speak, before I killed your son, you didnt consider making me, a member of the Devil Cult, live in a living hell?

The two were mortal enemies. Saying such words as a threat did not have much effect.

Qu Yis fury was like a tangible flame. Around him, a bizarre energy field instantly spread out.

In his rage, he had temporarily lost his sanity and made a threat, which seemed a little ridiculous. However, he had gradually calmed down at this time. He forcibly suppressed his anger while quickly weighing the situation in his mind.

It soon struck him that the biggest obstacle tonight was not Ding Yi.

Instead, it was the mysterious young man called Duan Shuiliu.

Ding Yi was the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect and was in the Great Sage Realm. Although his cultivation was quite outstanding amongst the younger generation on the Bitter Star, there was still a huge gap between him and the seniors in Jianghu. Even though he was at the Desktop Peak and could borrow the power of the peak, he would ultimately end up as a prisoner under the absolute power of two mighty experts in the Void-breaking Realm, no matter how strong his combat desire or his willpower was.

However, the strength of this young man named Duan Shuiliu was too daunting. He was like a dragon weaving its way among the clouds, rather elusive in his ways.

Even though Qu Yi had exchanged several blows with him earlier, he was still unable to determine his opponents level of strength. On the surface, the mysterious mans energy fluctuations were only at the peak of the Great Sage Realm. Yet, his actual combat strength was terrifyingly powerful and was definitely above the Void-breaking Realm. Could he be in the legendary realm called the Life and Death Bridge?

Tan Rushuang, the Top Sword of West Sea, stood in front of the stone forest with a very solemn look on his face.

He thought they were just to remove a spy of the Devil Cult, but he never knew the spy could be so tricky to deal with.

He held the Sea Shadow Sword in his hand, concentrated on gathering his qi, and was on full alert.

As long as Ding Yi and his crony were prevented from entering the stone forest and activating the trick the Fate-defying Sect hid in the Desktop Peak to escape, todays situation was still under the control of the nine major sects. After all, the nine major sects were here. Since when had they been defeated?

Hey, Brother Ding, have you finished your heroic declaration? Seeing Ding Yi had done the bluffing, Li Mu finally couldnt remain silent but suggested, Lets discuss some serious business. Next, lets figure out a way to run away. Otherwise, when the heads and experts of the nine sects arrive, the attrition warfare is enough to exhaust both of us, not to mention that you are already half-disabled.

What do you mean by half-disabled? Ding Yi was very dissatisfied with this statement. Even if I only have one leg left, I can still fight against ten people at a time.

Li Mu rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, Big brother, be serious. Its not the time to force yourself to draw a long bow.

Ding Yi smiled guiltily and said, Oh, really? Haha, just an old habit Huh? Force me to draw a long bow? Does it mean to brag? Thats interesting.

Then, he pointed at the stone forest behind Tan Rushuang and said, As long as we run into the stone forest, we can be temporarily safe.

Completely ignoring the experts from the two sects who were glaring at them like fierce tigers, the two began to discuss how to escape as if no one else was watching them.

For the disciples of the two major sects, this felt very strange.

They felt like they looked down upon, which was a feeling they never had before.

In the past, no one in Jianghu had ever dared to be so arrogant and unbridled in front of the nine sects.

Well, thats easy. Li Mu turned around and looked at Tan Rushuang. He smiled and then remarked, Lets discuss something. Be a good dog and stay out of my way. If you dont want to die, can you please make way for me?

Tan Rushuang simply laughed out of anger.

For a hundred years, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this.

Ding Yi was also stunned for a while, then he gave Li Mu a thumbs-up and said, Brother, you are the expert of forcibly drawing a long bow.

Li Mu said, Thank you for your acknowledgment.

Before those words died away, Li Mu had already entered Tan Rushuangs energy field.

A broadsword, extracted from the core area of the Tomb of the God of Sin, had already been held in his hand. With a powerful and domineering hack, the broadsword directly cut at the face of the head of the West Sea Sword Sect.

It was a simple move.

Also a straightforward one.

That was Li Mus fighting style.

His Dao-using method came from turning the simple into the complex before reversing the whole process. When he hacked the broadsword, the move employed no subtle techniques. All it required were the qi in Dantian, the boiling blood coursing in the chest, the spirit in the mind, the broadswords in his hand, and a wisp of willpower in the broadsword.

The Three Flowers over Headthe Gathering of Essence, Qi and Spirit Overhead, and the Five Kinds of Qi Collecting in Mind were exactly Li Mus Dao-using principles.

He liked going straight to the point without unnecessary change.

Once he wielded his broadsword, it would be a neat blow.

That was also the broadsword intendment that dawned on Li Mu after he reflected on his martial arts for days.

How puffed up you are!

Provoked by this disrespectful hacking method, Tan Rushuang brandished his sword and rose to the attack.

Clank!

The fine sound of metal clashing was heard, which was followed by the noise of the vibration of the sword and broadsword.

Poof!

Blood squirted forth.

The two figures brushed past each other.

The Sea Shadow Sword held by Tan Rushuang, the Top Sword of West Sea, was directly snapped in halves.

Tan Rushuang himself was also neatly cleaved into two halves from the middle of his eyebrows by Li Mus broadsword. Like a wood carving cut open by a knife, the two halves were sent flying in opposite directions.

Hahaha, the Top Sword of West Sea was just so-so.

Laughing out loud, Li Mu already led Ding Yi to rush into the stone forest.

As Ding Yi launched the secret seal method, dozens of seals shot into the stone forest in a flash. A strange power spread out. The stone pillars rotated, and the spacial mist swirled. The next moment, the entire stone forest completely disappeared under the Desktop Peak, as if it had never existed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Dozens of figures tore through the darkness at the bottom of the mountain and arrived at the battlefield.

Whats going on?

Why did you suddenly give me an urgent call?

How come so many our men have died? Was it a surprise attack by the Devil Cult?

Those who turned up from the darkness were experts from the nine major sects, including the other three cities, the heads of the two major sword sects, and the masters of the two major well-known families.

When Li Mu defeated Tan Rushuang and Qu Yi with one punch, this urgent message was sent out. It was the most pressing kind, indicating that the situation was more serious than ever. Hence, the experts of the nine major sects bustled there at once. But when they saw such a scene, they were all astounded.

Plainly, there had been a fierce battle between some people as powerful as sect masters.

There was still a terrifying aura of Broadsword Intent in the air.

We were about to catch the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect, but a heaven-defying expert of the Devil Cult turned up and ruined our operation.

Blood swirled, then, the two halves of Tan Rushuangs body were put together again. The Top Sword of West Sea stood there with a dark and infuriated look on his face.

Youre too late.

There was still a trace of shock in the depths of his eyes.

Of course, that hack Li Mu just perform did not really kill him.

An expert in the Void-breaking Realm had magical abilities and cultivation that ordinary people could not imagine. He had been skilled at regenerating his blood and qi. So, the fact that his body had been ripped apart could only be considered as a heavy blow to him, causing his genuine qi to be greatly damaged. However, what was even more infuriating than the loss of his strength was that this blow had almost dashed his confidence of being invincible that he had built up over the past century.

Recalling that hack, what came
