Chapter 581 - As if Awaking from a Dream



Chapter 581 As if Awaking from a Dream

That remark was exceedingly appalling. Like a clap of thunder, It reverberated in the huge market, causing everyone’s scalps to go numb.

“Hahaha.” After a short pause of shock, Zhou Changfa jeered disdainfully. “You did that by yourself? Little boy, who would believe your ridiculous claim? You’re confusing the public with your evil words, and you’re certainly wagging your tongue too freely!”

Li Mu looked at him and said seriously, “Well, now that I’ve thought about it, I was wrong about what I said just now.”

When those words were out, the crowd immediately bought them.

Now it made sense.

A cultivator who just entered the Worm Realm just claimed that he had killed the head of the Gold Sun Sect, a large sect in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Who was he kidding?

He had taken it too far in bragging.

But to everyone’s surprise, Li Mu added, “Just to clarify, the good-for-nothing who claimed to be the head of the Gold Sun Sect was cut into two pieces by me. So were the experts of other sects. Therefore, there was no one left to bury him. How could there be a grave? So, the right way to say it is that the grass on his body should be as tall as a grown-up by now!”

“Huh?”

The people around him, who had just recovered from the shock, suddenly felt as if they had sprained the waist when taking a sharp turn.

“Hold on, let’s comb through this.

“So, when you said that you were wrong just now, you were referring to this grave thing?”

Zhou Changfa’s face darkened. “Little b*stard, do you think your joke is funny?” He suddenly didn’t want to kill Li Mu so soon anymore, but decided to slowly grill this lowlife cultivator in the Worm Realm who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Yet, at this time, the black-faced scholar surnamed Wang next to him gazed at Li Mu and suddenly thought of something. His expression changed and he cried out involuntarily, “You, you are Li Mu? Li Mu, the murderous mad sinner from the Divine Land?”

Li Mu looked at him with a faint smile.

The black-faced scholar unfolded his palm and took out a portrait from his storage space. He then unrolled it and injected his Genuine Qi into the paper to activate it.

The figure in the painting immediately rose to the air like a holographic statue. It could be seen at different angles from all directions. It was a young man with short hair and white clothes, holding a long broadsword as if he were a god of killing. Well, who else could it be but Li Mu?

This was the wanted list jointly issued by the major sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Beside the portrait, there was an introduction written in small characters, which established Li Mu’s background, appearance, strength, fighting skills, battle record, and so on, as well as the amount of reward offered by the major sects to kill Li Mu.

As soon as the black-faced scholar checked the portrait, he immediately knew that the mysterious young celestial master of Primordial Stones who suddenly appeared in the market was Li Mu, the killing maniac who was wanted by almost all the sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

It was no wonder that since he came to the market and laid eyes on Li Mu, he had vaguely felt that this young man seemed a little familiar, but he failed to immediately associate the young man with that wanted sinner.

That was because he couldn’t believe that this lowlife ant, who had been ranked first on the wanted list in the entire Brilliance Immortal Star Region, dared to appear in the territory of the Gold Sun Sect in such an aboveboard way.

In the market square, insuppressible cries of surprise were heard.

What Li Mu, the killing maniac, had done was originally a secret that all the big sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region wanted to cover up. After all, so many members of those big sects had been killed by a bumpkin from the lower world who had not yet broken the cage of his mother planet. And even many sect masters had died in his hand. What an insult it was!

But no one knew who spilled the beans. Later, this matter was disclosed and was spread out. Because the content was too shocking, it soon spread throughout the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

Although the major sects did not directly admit it, they jointly issued a wanted bounty. In this way, they indirectly acknowledged what had happened.

But almost all the people in the universe believed that this sinner called Li Mu was still hiding on the Divine Land and had not stepped out of his home planet.

Who would have thought that he would be so daring as to show up in Gold Town not hiding his tracks at all?

This discovery was like a meteorite falling from the sky and smashing into the ocean, stirring up huge waves in everyone’s hearts.

“How, how could you dare to step out of the Divine Land?” At this time, Zhou Changfa also cottoned on, but he still found it hard to believe.

As an outer elder of the Gold Sun Sect, he was qualified to know what had really happened in the Battle of the Tomb of the God of Sin on the Divine Land.

If it weren’t for the suppression of the Grand Demon-subduing Formation and the Five-finger Mountain cast by the Fairy Emperor of Light, the so-called killing maniac, Li Mu, could be crushed to death by any of the sect elders.

Disheartened by the suppression power of the laws of heaven and earth on the Divine Land, the sects did not dare to land on that planet to seek revenge. Therefore, they offered a generous bounty. When a high reward is offered, brave fellows are bound to come forward. So, they encouraged bounty hunters and rogue cultivators in the universe to retaliate against Li Mu instead.

All of them believed that Li Mu must have gone into hiding and did not dare to step into the universe. Moreover, from the information collected by some vassal sects and forces on the Divine Land, it was true that Li Mu was doing closed-door training in Taibai Mountain.

However, this man, who was condemned, had now appeared here.

That took everyone by astonishment.

However, after a brief moment of shock, Zhou Changfa’s heart swelled with ecstasy.

“Hahaha, this is great. I’ve searched everywhere for you. But you came to me instead.” He looked at Li Mu as if he was looking at a pile of treasures, and his eyes were burning with excitement. He couldn’t help laughing, and then said, “Do you know how valuable your head is? Hahaha, thank you so much. Thank you for showing up in Gold Town and delivering me this great benefit without being asked.”

The black-faced scholar’s face was also aglow with excitement.

As soon as he got Li Mu killed, he could get the huge bounty.

He was about to make a fortune.

Both of them had a look of ecstasy on their faces as if they had been hit in the forehead by a windfall.

Li Mu, who had just stepped into the universe, was a mere cultivator in the worm realm. What kind of killing maniac could he be now? Without the protection of the various Divine Ways and tactical deployments on the Divine Land, to kill Li Mu was as easy as pulling up weeds.

Li Mu shook his head.

“They are really stupid.”

He didn’t want to say a word to these people anymore. Grasping the goose-feather-shaped broadsword in his hand, Li Mu strode toward Zhou Changfa. After his taking three steps, a rasping sound rang out, and Li Mu’s figure left a series of shadows in the air.

He was fast!

Zhou Changfa’s heart suddenly jolted.

No sooner had he grabbed the hilt of the long sword hanging on his waist than his right arm went all numb, and blood spurted out from his right shoulder. The arm holding the hilt then flew into the air.

His whole right arm had been directly cut off!

“What?”

Seeing this scene, the black-faced scholar next to him was scared out of his wits.

Zhou Changfa was only the half-step to the Soldier Realm, which was above the Mortal Realm. That was why he had been able to rule over Gold Town for so many years and become the local tyrant.

In the universe, although one’s family, education, and backups were important, what mattered most was still one’s strength. It could be said that among the star regions within a radius of millions of miles, Zhou Changfa’s strength could definitely rank top five.

However, Zhou Changfa lost an arm after taking Li Mu’s one strike, didn’t he?

The black-faced scholar realized that things were not looking good. So he turned around and made to flee.

But as soon as this thought emerged in his mind, he suddenly found that some gaps appeared in his sight, and he was viewing the world from an angle that he had never used before. Then the world was spinning…

“Flop!”

The headless body of the second-in-command of Gold Town fell to the ground. It then turned into a ball of flame, and was instantly reduced to ashes.

The whole thing happened too fast.

One strike came out before the previous one was done. Even their eyes were not quick enough to capture all the details.

When people around just realized that Li Mu had taken the initiative to attack, they already had the winner. Zhou Changfa had lost an arm and been seriously injured, and the black-faced scholar had been beheaded. The two attacks happened almost at the same time.

“Ah…” Zhou Changfa cried out in pain, which seemed to have ripped his heart and soul apart.

No matter how vigorously his blood qi was surging, it was hard for his broken arm to grow out in a short period of time because some strange broadsword intent and broadsword way had invaded his body along the cut. Strong as he was, he could hardly make the broken limb grow again.

Li Mu took a break from all the killing.

He looked down at the goose-feather-shaped broadsword in his hand in surprise.

It was stained with blood. Like a drunkard who just had a few drinks, it was vibrating at a high frequency, emitting wisps of joy. Also, it seemed to be a depressed old general returning to the battlefield and roaring with triumph.

“What a great broadsword!”

Li Mu laughed out loud.

The power of this broadsword was really beyond his imagination.

“Get him! Kill him for me!” Zhou Changfa bellowed.

While he ordered the disciples of the Gold Sun Sect to take action, he slowly stepped back. His eyes were full of resentment and killing intent as he stared at Li Mu. He raised his hand and stuffed several elixirs into his mouth. Then, they turned into hot currents and scattered into his limbs and bones. He forced his natural qi to flow again, hoping to make his broken arm grow so as to fight Li Mu again.

“A cluster of wicked dogs and wolves, I’ll send you to hell.”

Li Mu’s eyes gleamed, and he rushed forward with his broadsword.

Dazzling broadsword light swirled.

The dozens of disciples of the Gold Sun Sect failed to buy Zhou Changfa much time. In the blink of an eye, they were all killed in the market square. None of them was a match for Li Mu.

Li Mu was like a tiger stepping on a flock of sheep. His divine power was so mighty that he was utterly unstoppable.

A look of terror appeared in Zhou Changfa’s eyes.

At this time, he finally realized that he had underestimated this murderous maniac from the Divine Land. He was also aware that the battle in the Tomb of the God of Sin at that time could not be as simple as it was described in the cold intelligence.

However, he had no second chance anymore.

Li Mu had shown unparalleled combat capability.

The goose-feather-shaped broadsword in his hand was like Death’s scythe, which could not be stopped by any living person. In less than three moves, Li Mu directly knocked down Zhou Changfa, the local emperor who had been in Gold Town for more than 60 years.

“Spare me…”

Zhou Changfa was frightened to death. Having been gravely injured, he shouted out loud in desperation.

Li Mu, like a god of killing, showed no mercy at all. In front of all those onlookers, he killed him in the market square without any hesitation.

The Broadsword Intent of the Great Heat, one of the Broadsword Intent of 24 Solar Terms, burned up the Zhou Changfa’s body. The storage equipment, secret treasures, and armor he carried with him fell to the ground with a series of clangs.

The remaining dozens of Gold Sun Sect disciples on the outskirts of the square who saw the horrible scene immediately decided to run away.

But with a stir of his mind, the Broadsword Intent of 24 Solar Terms broke through the air.

A few strange and subtle whizzing noises rang out in the void.

When dealing with these small potatoes, Li Mu didn’t need to do take action by himself. He just needed to cast Broadsword Intent. The Broadsword Intent of Rain burst out and reduced all the disciples of the Gold Sun Sect into drops of water, which dripped on the ground. Their energy was scattered in the air and returned to heaven and earth.

In the twinkling of an eye, all the members of the Gold Sun Sect, including the elders and handymen, were all killed by Li Mu. None of them was spared.

It was not until this moment that the others around the market felt as if they had just woken up from a dream.
