Chapter 771 That Man’s Back

Tang Tian and the other disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance rubbed their eyes.

“What’s going on?

“Thousands of half-demon masters had been killed in the blink of an eye…”

They thought they were seeing things.

“It’s so terrifying.”

The Husky General froze for a moment and then said angrily, “How can you steal my business? Li Mu, I don’t care. I just want a cell phone and a Chanel set…”

Li Mu said, “Okay, I agree.”

Next, he looked at Tang Tian and smiled. “You should believe me now, right?”

Tang Tian and the others asked cautiously, “You… who are you?”

Before Li Mu had time to answer, one of the disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance suddenly screamed as if he had been electrocuted.

Tang Tian and the others looked over, confused.

The disciple pointed at Li Mu, looked at the Husky, and then glanced at Li Mu. Finally, he turned around and looked at Tang Tian and the others, saying, “What did… that dog… call him just now? Did you hear that? The dog called him Li Mu… Is he… that Li Mu?”

It was hard to tell if he was feeling excited or scared. Anyway, his tone was intermittent, and his words were a little incoherent.

“What the hell are you talking about? Li Mu…” Tang Tian frowned.

Then, he suddenly remembered something and looked as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at Li Mu in surprise and asked, “Are… you… really… Li Mu, the God of Martial Arts?”

The eyes of all the other disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance suddenly lit up. They all stared fixedly at Li Mu.

Perhaps there were many people named Li Mu in the world.

However, there was always only one Li Mu in their mouths and minds.

He was a legendary master of martial arts.

He was a legendary figure who ushered in a new era of martial arts on the Earth.

Even now, his legends were still circulating on the Earth.

For example, he killed the giant bandits on Mount Qilian, secured the Wine Spring base by himself, cleared out the terrorists from the Middle East with a broadsword, saved his compatriots, and suppressed various superpowers in the world all by himself… and founded the Hero Martial Arts Alliance.

The words “Li Mu” represented a godlike man.

They also symbolized the beginning of a new era.

Over the last couple of years, Li Mu had never shown up. Some people said that he was going through closed-door training, while others said that he had become an immortal and left the Earth… With the lapse of time and the dramatic changes in heaven and earth, famous mountains and great rivers, more and more masters emerged, the martial arts pattern of the world changed constantly, and the reputation of the God of Martial Arts gradually declined.

More and more people began to challenge the authority of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance.

The Demon Coalition was one of them.

The news that the headquarters of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance had been taken over spread across the martial arts communities and caused a great commotion among the domestic martial arts communities. The international martial arts communities began to keep a close watch on the situation, and some powers gradually extended their tentacles into the country to seek opportunities…

The Demon Coalition was a mysterious underground organization. After recruiting enough followers, it made a strong debut and broke through the headquarters of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance in one go.

The current situation was not a brewing storm.

Instead, it was a sudden storm.

Actually, the base of Dunhuang Branch of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance could be abandoned.

After the top-level masters of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance were attacked several times, the senior management of the alliance proposed a guiding principle, which was to preserve the alliance’s strength and power as far as possible, instead of competing with the Demon Coalition for territory.

However, Tang Tian and the other disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance chose not to withdraw.

Even though they knew that they could not defeat their opponents, they still wanted to fight to the end.

Perhaps those stubborn and persistent young men were firmly determined to defend the dignity of their organization.

When they were ready to sacrifice themselves and ignite the spirit of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance with their own blood, the man that had founded the alliance and ushered in a new era suddenly turned up out of the blue.

“You… are you really Li Mu? The Consultant?”

Tang Tian stammered to further confirm Li Mu’s identity.

He was still in a state of great shock and disbelief.

A beam of broadsword light shot out from Li Mu’s palm and broke all the shackles on the hands and feet of the captured disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance.

“You bet,” Li Mu said seriously.

He could feel these young disciples’ sense of awe and reverence for the name “Li Mu”.

The name was simply a source of spiritual sustenance for them.

For this reason, when Tang Tian and other disciples saw what Li Mu did, they stood there dazed and at a loss for words.

The lanky man and other masters of the Demon Coalition that had not been killed were almost scared to death and were dumbstruck.

A person’s reputation was like the shadow of a tree.

The title of oriental God of War was enough to sober the craziest opponents up.

The man was really Li Mu.

A beam of green light shot out from Li Mu’s fingertip and split into numerous streaks, which covered the wounds of the injured disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance. Their wounds healed visibly.

It was really Li Mu.

“Consultant Li!”

“You finally showed up.”

“Wow…”

All the disciples of the Hero Martial Arls Alliance bubbled with excitement.

Tears welled up in some disciples’ eyes.

Some disciples burst into tears.

They looked like children that had been wronged by others, tried their best to contain their depression and grievance, and finally burst into tears the moment they saw their parents and relatives.

Li Mu could understand how they felt.

He released his Divine Consciousness to comfort these excited disciples.

“Rest assured. I’ll take care of everything.”

He said solemnly as if he were making a promise.

His words carried great weight and power and sounded like a sharp sword that slashed through the dark clouds in the hearts of all the disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance and brought light to them.

“We are just a small part of the team. The main forces have entered the Dunhuang secret realm to hunt down Song Youyan and Lu Xun. Tao Yuan, the Silver Lizard King, said that he would kill Lu Xun with his own hands in the Dunhuang secret realm, wipe out the Lu Family, and then eliminate the entire Hero Martial Arts Alliance.”

Under Li Mu’s gaze, the lanky man confessed everything.

The lanky man used to be a disciple of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance. He was dismissed because he bullied others and broke the alliance’s rules. As a result, he bore a grudge against the alliance. Later, after he was recruited by Tao Yuan, his body was modified by demonic power and after he gained the half-human, half-demon power, his strength soared. Finally, he became a middle-level leader of the Demon Coalition. This time, he was assigned to attack the base of Dunhuang Branch of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance.

He led two thousand half-demons to carry out the mission. Such a force was enough to reduce the base of Dunhuang Branch to ruins.

To his surprise, he ran into Li Mu.

Li Mu asked several other half-demon leaders the same question, and their answers were exactly the same as the lanky man’s confession.

“We have to hurry to the Dunhuang secret realm to assist Director Song and Deputy Chairman Lu!” Tang Tian and other disciples became anxious when they heard the news.

Li Mu nodded.

He had to go.

He helped the captured disciples of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance regenerate their broken Dantians and restored their power and cultivation achievements. The damages to their bodies caused by their injuries seemed irreversible, but repairing such damages was very easy for Li Mu.

“Come on, let’s go to the Dunhuang secret realm.”

After doing all that, Li Mu said.

He wanted to take this group of hot-blooded young men to save people.

He wanted to make these youngsters, who upheld justice and observed the moral principles, understand that their sacrifices were worth it and their paths were full of hope.

“What about them?” Tang Tian looked at the lanky man and other half-demons.

Those half-demons looked anxious and flustered.

Without any hesitation, Li Mu said, “Kill them.”

These half-demons had been modified by demonic powers, and they had given up their identity as human beings. Such creatures could be called “human traitors”. They were in no way good creatures. Moreover, Li Mu had seen with his own eyes the tragic scenes at the headquarters of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance in Wine Spring after it was invaded by the Demon Coalition. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. The demons of the Demon Coalition had to pay the price.

Broadsword light flashed.

The heads of the lanky man and other half-demons fell into the snow, turned into pools of ice water, and disappeared completely.

Li Mu waved his hand through the air, and a void barrier descended, enveloping the base of Dunhuang Branch and protecting it against attacks from outsiders.

Then, he got on the bus prepared by the Hero Martial Arts Alliance and set off for the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang.

Some manuals containing detailed information about the Mogao Caves were handed to Li Mu.

He went through the manuals and had a rough idea of the layout of the Mogao Caves.

An hour later.

Li Mu and the others arrived at the scenic area of Dunhuang Mogao Caves.

“Get in line for tickets.” A young female tour guide at the door of the scenic area thought that Li Mu and Tang Tian were two ordinary tourists. She shouted loudly from behind the counter, “We only have the tickets for tours after ten days. Do you want to book some tickets?”

This tour guide was also a practitioner.
