Chapter 695 One Dead, One Injured

The Heavenly Fox Secret Realm was a secret realm that the Heavenly Fox Clan had preserved from the primitive times of the universe. Legend had it that this realm contained the secrets of immortality, and even a mortal entering it would become an immortal if he found the Great Way and seized the opportunity.

Throughout history, many glorious, dominant masters in the Ziwei Star Space had once entered the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.

Among the 10 secret realms in the Ziwei Star Space, the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm ranked third, only below to the Tomb of the God of Sin and the Primeval Secret Realm.

In fact, however, the Tomb of the God of Sin was erratic, so not everyone could enter it after it was opened, and there were strict restrictions on each entry. The Primeval Secret Realm was even more ethereal, and very few people had actually entered it. Therefore, to some extent, the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm could be considered the first secret realm in the Ziwei Star Zone.

For this reason, all the people in the Ziwei Star Zone were shocked the moment they heard that the top 100 Heavenly Legends could enter the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm to practice and gain experience.

Many practitioners regretted bitterly.

If they had known that earlier, they would have taken part in the competition between Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions.

Many qualified practitioners who were not interested in the martial arts competition were filled with regret now.

However, there was no turning back. It was too late for them to participate in the competition.

For the top 100 Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions, this was definitely an unexpected surprise.

At the beginning, no one had expected that the Heavenly Legends qualified for the martial arts competition for marriage would actually have the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. It was almost as exciting as receiving a gift from heaven.

However, only the top 100 Heavenly Legends could enter that secret realm. The candidacy for the top 100 Heavenly Legends suddenly became extremely attractive.

By this time, the ranking of Heavenly Legends had not been completely finalized.

The fights between Heavenly Legends were not over yet.

Under such a background, the forthcoming fights would surely become completely inflamed with passion and extremely fierce.

Everyone wanted to seize the last moment and opportunity to make his way to the top 100 at any cost.

Fights on the Immortal-slaying Platform continued ceaselessly.

Many practitioners were willing to put at stake all they had and fight to the death in order to make their way to the top 100, even though they knew they had no chance at all.

The prices of various weapons, armors, elixirs, secret skills, Yin Thunder, and other fighting auxiliaries in the Imperium Vulpes Divine City soon began to rise like crazy. In particular, some high-level and high-quality secret treasures and some disposable items for skip-level challenge were hyped to the point where they could not be sold because of prohibitively high prices.

All the Heavenly Legends went crazy.

Some of them were frantically challenging the opponents who were well-matched in strength to improve their rankings by increasing the cumulative number of wins and scores.

Some others took risks to directly challenge the Heavenly Legends in the front rank. Their purpose was to establish their reputation and maximize their benefit by winning one fight, so that their rankings would suddenly soar.

No matter what they did, they were taking advantage of the rules in a reasonable way.

The original top 100 practitioners, especially those ranked between the 50th and 100th places, had to face endless challenges, bothered beyond endurance.

However, they couldnt decline all the challenges because of the rules.

The competition between Heavenly Legends finally reached its climax because of this piece of news.

The rules established by the Heavenly Fox Clan prohibited killing on the Immortal-slaying Platform, but the possibility of severe injury was beyond their control.

After all, it was a martial arts competition between practitioners but not a game played by children.

The Heavenly Legends, if severely injured, would receive immediate medical treatment from the highly skilled doctors of the Heavenly Fox Clan. This ensured that no sequelae would be left and reduced the negative effects of the martial arts competition to the minimum possible extent.

However, some practitioners began to take advantage of the rules in a reasonable way.

For example, some of them bought auxiliary combat tools and means to win the fight, while some others spent a great deal of money buying off some super Heavenly Legend ranking among the top 100 for deliberately losing the fight on the Immortal-slaying Platform, thus improving their own rankings. As long as the super Heavenly Legend who they chose would not drop out of the top 100 and the price they offered was high enough, it would work.

There were also some practitioners who paid a high price to secretly bribe some super Heavenly Legends. During the martial arts competition on the Immortal-slaying Platform, the bribed super Heavenly Legend would deal a heavy blow to and eliminate the opponent who posed the greatest threat to the bribers enrollment in the top 100, so that the probability of ranking among the top 100 for the briber would be increased!

In a word, those practitioners have their own ways in dealing with the policies and rules.

They took various actions both in the open and in the dark.

In the blink of an eye, there were only three days left before the finalization of the List of Top 100 Heavenly Legends.

The atmosphere was simply crazy.

The Immortal-slaying Platforms were brightly illuminated even at night. The Heavenly Legends of various sects were fighting at night. There were even some Heavenly Legends queuing up around Immortal-slaying Platform, waiting for their fights.

The sounds of fighting and shouting were endless throughout the night.

Of course, these matters had little to do with Li Mu.

No one would challenge a super Heavenly Legend who ranked fourth on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions, unless the challenger had lost his mind and wanted to die. Even if someone were desperate to make his way to the top 100 or become famous by winning one fight, he still would not challenge a super Heavenly Legend like Li Mu.

Moreover, Li Mus one-strike broadsword technique had almost become a taboo in the hearts of all the Heavenly Legends.

That one strike was so mysterious.

No one had the confidence to withstand that one strike.

Li Mu had been in closed-door training and pondering over his broadsword skill in the secret chamber.

Li Mu was greatly shocked by the swordsmanship spirit of one sword for breaking all spells that the God of Sword, Wang Yanyi, showed on the Immortal-slaying Platform the other day. He was pondering over the spirit of his own Broadsword Way. Having seen the power of the Potential Realms created by the masters in the King Realm for several times, Li Mu began to think about how to build his own Potential Realm if he entered the King Realm.

Compared with other super Heavenly Legends, his greatest weakness was his cultivation level.

His current cultivation level was only at the peak of the Soldier Realm. He hadnt even entered the General Realm, let alone the King Realm.

This was his greatest weakness.

However, he had practiced for only a few years.

Along the way, with the help of his mysterious Cultivation Methodthe Xiantian Skill, Li Mu had somewhat performed a miracle in improving his cultivation level. However, there was still a large gap between him and those super geniuses from various top powers who had begun to practice at a very early age.

However, the improvement of cultivation level and the accumulation of natural Qi required step-by-step efforts like dripping water penetrating a stone. There was no easy shortcut.

If it werent for the fact that he had the power of his white-bone right arm, Li Mus cultivation level wouldnt have ranked above the top 50 on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. Moreover, without his strong physical power and Eye of Flaws, it would be very difficult for him to make his way to the top 20.

However, he could barely control the power of his white-bone right arm because it always came very suddenly and abruptly.

He wished to improve his cultivation level and natural Qi by practicing.

That was the righteous path to perfection.

The unparalleled power of his white-bone right arm came inexplicably from nowhere. This could only be regarded as a wicked path.

Therefore, Li Mu had been in closed-door training, practicing Cultivation Methods, and reflecting on himself these days.

It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Li Mu walked out of his secret chamber.

The Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang, immediately came over to Li Mu like a loyal servant after he heard that Li Mu had come out from closed-door training. He excitedly talked about what had happened in the past few days and then handed a big pack of invitation cards to Li Mu. All of these invitation cards were from the super powers in the Ziwei Star Zones that intended to rope Li Mu in out of goodwill.

In the eyes of many powers, a rootless super Heavenly Legend like Li Mu was a pearl hard to come by.

Li Mu casually flipped through the cards without any interest.

He was already a member of the Dark Yellow Army.

I have another piece of good news, Dongfang Piaoliang said, The two candidates from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region finally made their way to the top 100 at noon today. The ranking of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region has risen to the 35th place on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. This is an unprecedented record in history.

Oh? Is that true?

Li Mu was very surprised.

According to Dongfang Piaoliangs information, the two cultivators from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region who had made their way to the top 100 were the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black.

Considering their cultivation levels, it should be impossible for them to rank among the top 100.

However, after they were seriously injured when trying to stop the blue-armor practitioners from taking Bi Yan away that day, they got the elixirs of the Green Fox Tribe, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Their cultivation levels improved greatly, and they seemed to have received support from the powers behind them. Unexpectedly, they rose all the way to the top 100 against all odds and obtained the qualification for entering the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.

After hearing that, Li Mu didnt know what to say.

Perhaps this was some kind of opportunity.

Moreover, Li Mu was very grateful to the two persons after he learnt what happened that day from Dongfang Piaoliang.

Should I find some time to express my gratitude to them?

When Li Mu was thinking, a posthouse guard suddenly came over in a hurry and whispered something in Dongfang Piaoliangs ear. The look on the latters face suddenly changed.

Really? He looked at the guard and said, Where? Take me there right away.

Li Mu wondered what had happened. He couldnt help asking, Whats the matter?

With an anxious look on his face, Dongfang Piaoliang said, The two Heavenly Legends I told you about just now were attacked on the way back to the posthouse. We dont know if they are dead or alive.

What? Upon hearing that, Li Mu was shocked and anxious. He said, How could such a thing happen? Lets go and have a look.

Who dared to sneakily attack the Heavenly Legends?

How come the attackers didnt take the Heavenly Fox Clans rules seriously?

Led by the guard, Li Mu and the Posthouse Officer immediately set out and headed to the scene.

The incident happened on the busy main street leading from the Immortal-slaying Platform area to the posthouse. When they arrived, the scene was already surrounded by people. The armored guards of the White Fox Tribe had also arrived and cordoned off the area where the fight took place.

Outsiders and irrelevant personnel were forbidden from entering the cordoned-off area.

The Posthouse Officer identified himself and introduced Li Mu. One of them was the officer of the posthouse where the attacked persons were from, and the other was the top Heavenly Legend in the same Star Region as the attacked persons. Therefore, the captain of the armored guards allowed Li Mu and Dongfang Piaoliang to enter the scene.

How is the situation? Li Mu asked impatiently as soon as he entered the scene.

The captain said, One is dead, and the other is seriously injured.

What? Li Mu was shocked and irritated.

When they arrived at the center of the area where the fight took place, the attacker had already disappeared. From the distance, they saw the bodies of the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black lying on the ground and the blood flowing around the bodies.

The man is dead, and the girl is still breathing, but her condition is not good. A pharmacist of the White Fox Tribe was carrying out medical examination and treatment. When he saw the captain of the armored guards coming over, he raised his head, sighed, and pitifully said, It is obvious that the attacker has planned this attack for a long time and come prepared. He has launched the attack accurately. Had it not been for the girls secret protective suit that blocked a strike for her at the critical moment, she would probably have died.

Upon hearing that, Li Mus head immediately started buzzing.

How could this happen?
