Chapter 166: Before the Duel

The one speaking was exactly one of the disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club that sat at Li Mus table before.

A moment ago, they were also terribly scared. Each kept their head low, afraid that Li Mu would spot them. But now, with Li Mu gone, they began to swagger around again.

The instant the words were out, the hot atmosphere in the hall cooled as if someone had poured a bucket of water to a burning charcoal brazier.

The duel suddenly crossed the minds of many guests.

Yeah, right! There is gonna be a duel between the two Great Masters!

The deadline they set was three days later. Two days, if today was included, had already passed. Thus, the day after tomorrow was the date of the life-and-death battle of the two Great Masters.

During these two days, people in Changan had made various predictions about the duel. Generally speaking, the majority of the residents believed Heaven-Sword Celestial Being would win, because Heaven-Sword Celestial Being was taught by a famous master and had made a name for himself since many years ago. He also feigned his death and lived in seclusion these years to further practice Cultivation Methods. Today, it was hard to tell which level he had reached. It was not completely impossible that he might have broken through the Great Master Realm and entered the Innate Stage.

That disciple of the Heaven Sword Martial Club was pretty satisfied by the effect that remark created.

I can tell you now, Li Mu is a dead man When the sun rises the day after tomorrow, his head will be chopped off. He is merely a junior cultivator who just entered the Great Master. Our Heaven Sword Celestial Being will kill him as easily as killing a dog.

With a gloating smile, he assured the others with great solemnity.

However, this time, his words did not cause a stir among the guests in the hall once more.

Instead, the place was filled with dead silence.

The other disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club who were also pompously chanting Li Mus doom a moment ago suddenly altered their gleefulness with horror. Trembling fearfully, they turned to stare in the direction of the doorway, as if they had caught sight of some ghast monster.

The disciple who just spoke was bemused. He wondered, Why are you But suddenly, something struck him and without really thinking, he wheeled around and darted his eyes towards the doorway as well.

Li Mu was standing there. He must have returned when no one was watching him.

He tied the dark-maned horse to the pole by the door and walked in slowly. I just hurried off without paying for tonights event As he said, a sheet of golden cash flew out of his hand and gracefully headed towards Bai Xuan. It was true that Li Mu had ordered some dishes when he and Zheng Cunjian sat at the table.

Mr. Zheng has already paid before he left, clarified Bai Xuan in a haste.

A little stunned, Li Mu nodded at her and mumble, Okay. Then, with a wave, that golden cash which had flown halfway to Bai Xuan instantly veered around and shot back to his hand.

Li Mu nodded at Hua Xiangrong with a smile before turning to leave again.

Seeing he take off, the disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seemed that Li Mu had no intention to get even with them.

Li Mu took the rein off the pole and led the horse a few steps away. Abruptly, he spun around and lifted a hand, and six jets of purple lightning burst out from his palm. Like six electric snakes, the jets of light instantly shot into the six terrified disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club.

Do you really reckon I didnt hear you talking behind my back?

Li Mu demanded without expression.

In truth, he was not heading back to pay the bill. He simply remembered that he forgot to teach a lesson to those disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club in the hall when he was heading away from the hall. Therefore, he randomly picked an excuse and scuttled back to the Holy House.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Black smoke began to rise from the six disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club. As though being hit by a flash of lightning, they all fell to the floor and started foaming at the mouth as their limbs twitched uncontrollably. They now looked like pieces of burnt wood.

The six jets of lightning actually had wiped out their internal qi. Hence, they were practically disabled men.

Everyone in the hall gasped.

In fact, Li Mu was not a good actor. The guests had a vague feeling that the young Great Master was not here to get the bill paid at all. That was clearly an excuse to come back and settle with those disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club. After all, the guests who had a good memory all knew that they were at the same table as Li Mu tonight and had let loose of snide words at him.

Seems that the young Great Master is the type of man who bears a grudge against any offense.

Your Honor, even though he is a Great Master, you dont have to go over there in person and save his face in public like that.

On the way back, a truste
