Chapter 545 Actually It’s Not That Hard

Countless disciples of Cold River City were shocked by Qu Yi’s hasty flee. They found it hard to believe that.

In their eyes, the lord of Cold River City was a legendary figure on the Bitter Star. He was also the spiritual pillar that supported the pride and dignity of the Cold River City. And all that started to collapse from the moment Qu Yi fled like a disowned dog.

Many of the disciples could not believe what they had just witnessed.

“Stop him!” Qu Yi bellowed while running away.

He had no time to mind what the others would think right now.

When he saw Li Mu rushing over to back Ye Wuhen up, he realized that things were not going well.

However, the pride he held deep down and his confidence as the lord of Cold River City made him feel that he might be able to take a few moves from Li Mu, instead of being defeated in seconds like Qin Rushuang, Li Muzi, Duan Feng and the others.

However, he soon found that he’d got it wrong.

He’d got it ridiculously wrong.

The broadsword, which was shining like flowing moonlight, was simple but magical. With a single hack, it completely shattered his confidence.

The moment the blade cut into his neck, Qu Yi’s rage dissolved, and so did his fighting spirit.

“Stop him for me!”

Without looking back, Qu Yi ordered the disciples of Cold River City to intercept Li Mu.

The so-called interception basically equaled committing suicide.

Since Li Mu took the Moon-scrubbing Broadsword, though he did not perform the corresponding Dao-using method and just simple horizontal and vertical hacks, the power of the Moon-scrubbing Broadsword had been increased for multiple times. With a casual chop, the vast Broadsword Qi and Broadsword Intent comparable to the Milky Way falling from the highest heaven immediately ripped the void apart and tore up the disciples of Cold River City who had rushed to him like a swarm of hornets.

It was an overpowering massacre.

At first, the disciples of Cold River City dashed desperately toward Li Mu to buy time for Qu Yi to escape. But soon, no matter how loyal the disciples were, they could not stand this kind of horror and also fled in all directions.

“Demons and monsters, none of you can be left alive… Drop dead!”

Li Mu cast the Somersault Cloud and leaped forward in a flash.

A total of four men who looked exactly like Li Mu appeared in the void. Even the Ye Wuhen they were holding in their arms and the Moon-scrubbing Broadsword they grasped were exactly the same. The four Li Mu raced in four directions, chasing after the disciples. The broadsword light swiveled and then vanished. Then, the four Li Mu returned to the same place, and the four figures merged into one.

This was not the Doppelganger Technique.

Instead, it was a series of shadows he left behind in the void when he had reached the fastest speed.

Those disciples of Cold River City who fled in all directions stiffened in the air and then split into irregular pieces. Like birds that suddenly lost their lives, they fell to the ground. None of them managed to escape.

Li Mu had killed them all.

Holding Ye Wuhen in his arms, Li Mu continued to chase after Qu Yi.

Ye Wuhen felt that a warm flow was constantly injected into her body from Li Mu’s palm to cure her. The pain she felt did not matter anymore. It was the first time that she had been held in the arms of a man in this fashion, which was quite weird for her.

The world-renowned Virgin Goddess of the Moon Dao Sect of the Devil Cult had never been so nervous before.

She was even more nervous than the first time she pulled out a broadsword to kill someone.

Another jet of broadsword light flashed past.

Qu Yi’s body was cleaved in half by the waist.

However, the blood mist began to swirl and glint. Soon, his body parts once again reassembled.

“Taoist fellows, help me, quick!” Qu Yi was extremely startled. So he swallowed his pride and activated his natural qi, shouting out loud for help.

His voice spread to the Desktop Peak like rolling thunder.

“Stop chasing him. Let’s go back.” Ye Wuhen sobered up a little and said, “The leaders of the nine major sects are all here. If we continue to the pursuit, we will be besieged.”

Riding the flying broadsword, Li Mu tilted his head and looked at the peerlessly exquisite face in his embrace. When he saw the wounds and bloodstains on the girl, a soft part of his heart was awakened. He rejected, “No, I’ll kill him to avenge you.”

Ye Wuhen turned her head and said, “You’re courting death.”

Li Mu looked at her and said, “You were also courting death before, weren’t you?”

Ye Wuhen looked into Li Mu’s eyes and said, “But I don’t want to die now. Take me back.”

Li Mu smiled and said, “Are you afraid that I will die here? Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

Ye Wuhen gave a cold snort and spoke no more.

She could not see through Li Mu’s strength.

“He hacked a master like Qu Yi with just one hack. That is obviously the power above the Void-breaking Realm!”

“Has the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect already become so powerful?”

She found it hard to believe.

Yet, Li Mu’s firm attitude toward hunting Qu Yi down gave her a strange feeling that was hard to describe or explain. It sort of confused her, but also somewhat aroused her expectancy and moved her in a way that she hadn’t felt for a long time.

“Kill!”

Like a cat catching a mouse, Li Mu instantly closed the distance between him and Qu Yi and launched a hack again.

Qu Yi had no leeway to fight back at all. As if a clay sculpture, he was cut open again from the middle.

However, Qu Yi did not hesitate to activate his source energy to distance him from Li Mu and reassemble his body.

Blood mist surged.

The revival power of the expert in the Void-breaking Realm was indeed incredible, which had even involved the Taoist Principles. Even though Li Mu’s Broadsword Intent kept invading his body, Qu Yi was still able to reshape his body again.

After Qu Yi endured several hacks, the Desktop Peak was finally in sight.

Hundreds of rays of light shot to the air from the Desktop Peak as though twinkling comets streaking across the sky.

Almost all of the strongest high-level
