Chapter 669 A Battle Between the Top Heavenly Legends of the Two Star Regions

When Li Mu, who was walking down the Immortal-slaying Platform, heard the man’s words, he stopped and looked at Lin Qingxuan.

It was an exceedingly handsome man in white clothes.

Li Mu felt a kind of surging energy fluctuation from this man. Obviously, he was much stronger than the weak Reihom.

This man was a good opponent for him.

Li Mu turned around and returned to the fighting ring. Then he crooked a finger at Lin Qingxuan.

There was an uproar from the audience.

No one had expected that Li Yidao would easily take on the challenge from the top Heavenly Legend of the Storm Star Region.

Although the Storm Star Region was not one of the top ones among the 100 Star Regions, it was much more prosperous than the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. As the top Heavenly Legend of the Storm Star Region, Lin Qingxuan ranked much higher than Li Yidao on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions.

It was not advisable to rush into a fight with someone who ranked more than 200 places higher than you.

After all, the result of every compet.i.tion on the Immortal-slaying Platform would be counted by the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions, and thus it would determine the final ranking.

Even Lin Qingxuan himself was a little astonished by Li Yidao’s response.

When he mouthed the challenge, he had expected that Li Yidao would be timid and refuse to take up the challenge. He just wanted to say some empty rhetoric to mock Li Yidao so as to save face for the Storm Star Region. After all, what Li Yidao’s said after his victory over Reihom was a bit too much.

However, Li Yidao actually took on his challenge!

After a brief moment of astonishment, Lin Qingxuan showed on his face a hint of mockery.

“All right.”

With a leap, he appeared on the Immortal-slaying Platform, like a flash of light.

There was a burst of yells of shock around.

The little fox girl Bi Yan turned quiet and nervous again.

And the surprise on Dongfang Piaoliang’s face disappeared. Subconsciously, he wanted to stop Li Mu, but it was too late.

The crowd around the Immortal-slaying Platform suddenly swelled.

The cultivators of the Storm Star Region and the Brilliance Immortal Star Region all came here after hearing the news. Some of the Heavenly Legends from the two Star Regions also appeared in the crowd. After all, it was a duel between the top Heavenly Legends of the two Star Regions.

“Humph, he’s too naive and arrogant!”

“Li Yidao represents the face of our Brilliance Immortal Star Region. How could he take on the challenge so hastily?”

“Yeah, once he loses, he will shame our Brilliance Immortal Star Region.”

At some point, Saint of Blood Sea had appeared in the crowd, and his perennial sidekick, b.l.o.o.d.y-moon Evil Master, was also there. Some other Heavenly Legends from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, who belonged to the Heavenly Devil Sect, were mocking Li Mu, too.

In their opinion, Li Mu was bound to lose.

And those from the Storm Star Region where the cultivators and Heavenly Legends outnumbered those of the other Star Regions looked down on Li Mu even more. They were waiting for a satisfactory victory to wash away the shame of Reihom’s previous defeat.

Moreover, as the news spread, more and more people came to watch.

On the Immortal-slaying Platform:

Lin Qingxuan looked Li Mu up and down. After a while, he said, “I’ll let you attack me with three moves first. Go ahead. Otherwise, if I start to attack you, I’m afraid you won’t have another chance to fight back.”

What he said left Li Mu speechless.

“I got no quarrel with you, but why are you putting on airs in front of me?”

“If I make a strike with my broadsword, you won’t have a chance to fight back,” Li Mu retorted sharply. “So, you’d better take action as well, lest you will be frightfully embarra.s.sed after you’re defeated.”

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, there was a loud noise around the Immortal-slaying Platform.

People all thought that Li Mu was too arrogant.

In particular, the Heavenly Legends and cultivators from the Storm Star Region began to ridicule and scold him while pointing at him.

Li Mu was more than 200 places behind Lin Qingxuan on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions, but he was so ignorant that he said such words to their top Heavenly Legend. He really had no self-knowledge.

Standing behind Saint of Blood Sea, b.l.o.o.d.y-moon Evil Master whispered, “Well, let’s wait and see what he will say after he loses. He’s gonna make a fool of himself.”

Saint of Blood Sea just gave a smile and did not say anything.

At some point, the black-clothed young man carrying a sword and the girl with a machete also appeared in the crowd.

“What do you mean by that? Who said that Li Yidao would definitely lose?” The girl, who was no taller than the machete, snapped angrily, “Li Yidao is the top Heavenly Legend in our Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Are you all looking forward to his defeat?”

b.l.o.o.d.y-moon Evil Master shot a glance at the girl without saying anything.

At this point, Lin Qingxuan had started to make his move on the fighting ring.

And his weapon was also a sword.

“Sword Intent, Water-flowing Sword!”

With a flick of his finger, Sword Qi flew across the Immortal-slaying Platform, and several transparent snake-like sword lights swept toward Li Mu like thousands of arrows.

Li Mu launched his moving techniques to dodge them.

The biggest problem of his swordsmans.h.i.+p was that only when the opponent made a move, could he peek into the opponent’s martial arts and the flaws in the battle through the Eye of Flaws. After that, he could find an opportunity to win in one strike.

Therefore, before Lin Qingxuan made a move, Li Mu could not fight back.

After Lin Qingxuan made an attack, Li Mu immediately realized that the top Heavenly Legend in the Storm Star Region was indeed much more powerful than Reihom. His Cultivation Method and swordsmans.h.i.+p were extremely brilliant. He had to take some time to discover the flaws in his moves.

Thus, in order to maintain his old image, Li Mu did not pull out his broadsword to fight back but adopted a strategy of evasion.

After he slightly changed the Somersault Cloud, he could move as fast as a ghost, like a snake running rapidly, or like a startled swan flying in the sky. In a flash, it looked like old vines gathering their roots. Sometimes he moved fast and sometimes slow. He narrowly avoided Lin Qingxuan’s Sword Intent and sword light.

On the face of it, the top Heavenly Legend from the Storm Star Region had the absolute upper hand.

There were times when Li Yidao was in danger. It was a close shave to escape injury when his clothes were cut by the sword light.

The situation was totally favorable for Lin Qingxuan.

All the cultivators in the audience were watching and commenting. The cultivators of the Storm Star Region were especially happy, their faces glowing. The frustration they felt after Reihom was defeated had completely disappeared at this moment.

“Wow, he deserves to be the top Heavenly Legend of our Storm Star Region!”

“My disappointment has dissipated.”

“This is the real strength of our Storm Star Region.”

“Tell Li Yidao what real martial art is.”

The sound of laughter was constantly heard from the cultivators of the Storm Star Region.

The Heavenly Legends of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, led by Saint of Blood Sea, who were hostile to Li Yidao, were also gloating, hoping to see Lin Qingxuan accidentally kill Li Mu.

On the contrary, the black-clothed young man carrying a sword and the girl with a machete, and some other ordinary cultivators from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region looked quite nervous. They were secretly cheering for Li Mu.

The fox girl Bi Yan nervously covered her chest with one hand.

Dongfang Piaoliang also frowned deeply, and his usual smile had disappeared from his chubby face.

“How long are you going to avoid me like this?”

Lin Qingxuan taunted him with disdain.

He activated his Sword Intent to the extreme. Untold transparent Sword Intent and sword lights moved like flowing water and almost sealed the s.p.a.ce where Li Mu could move.

At this point, Li Mu seemed to have no room to escape.

“You’re defeated.”

Lin Qingxuan narrowed his eyes. All of a sudden, all the Sword Intent burst out and launched at Li Mu, filling all the s.p.a.ce on the Immortal-slaying Platform.

“That’s not necessarily true!”

Li Mu, who had been dodging his opponent, had a bright, confident light in his eyes.

He reached back and extended his arm.

He held the hilt of his broadsword behind his left shoulder.

In the audience, those who were familiar with Li Yidao’s moves all felt their hearts skip a beat.

This was especially true for Saint of Blood Sea and Reihom.

The next moment, a ray of light flashed across the fighting ring.

It was a snow-white ray.

It was blinding.

Many people unconsciously closed their eyes.

A unique m.u.f.fled sound of energy clas.h.i.+ng could be heard in their ears as well as a grunt that was hidden in the sound.

When they could see things again, there was only one person standing on the Immortal-slaying Platform.

It was Li Yidao.

He was the winner.

Because Li Mu had thrown Lin Qingxuan off the platform.

Lin Qingxuan’s left hand was b.l.o.o.d.y, and there were gashes at the part of his hand between the thumb and the index finger. His hand was a mess of blood, and others could see his white finger bone.

The top Heavenly Legend of the Storm Star Region stood there in a daze and looked at his injury in disbelief.

The cultivators of the Storm Star Region, who had been originally cheering, were stunned, looking like ducks caught in the neck. They just couldn’t believe what had just happened!
