One Minute
A trace of anger appeared on Su Cuo’s face…
"I’m sorry." She said to Li Mu.
The Cultivators’ Association had made preparations in advance, indicating that they had already predicted Li Mu’s coming. No other party knew about the news except the military, which was reported by Su Cuo. There was no doubt that it could only be someone from the military who leaked the news.
Li Mu said, "Don’t mention it. I should thank you."
He pointed to all the people in the building and said, "If you hadn’t spread the news, how could we wipe them out?"
Su Cuo didn’t know what to say.
Li Mu showed an air of arrogant confidence, which he never lacked…
But the current situation was a little severe.
Su Cuo suddenly felt that she had been too naive to have high hopes in some people in the military.
Then, Li Mu spoke again.
"Where is Luo Xuanxin? Release her," Li Mu said.
"Ha ha, you wanna save her by yourself?" The vice president burst into laughter and said, "That little bitch is in this building. If you want to save her, climb up these 66 floors first."
When he heard this, Li Mu knew that he could get nothing from him.
"Let’s defeat him first."
He looked at the thousand-plus cultivators around him and swept his eyes across these people one by one…
"You’ve probably heard of my name and know that I don’t want to slaughter any compatriots. But the world will lose justice with villains, and the wheatland will be choked with weeds. Therefore, anyone who doesn’t want to aid the wicked could leave now. I’ll let bygones be bygones. You have one minute to think about it. If you are determined to stay here, then please don’t blame me for being merciless."
His tone was gentle and placid, but his spiritual force could be perceived to some extent.
He held that even though all 2,314 cultivators in the Zhongtian Building were members of the Cultivators’ Association, not all of them were bad guys.
So he decided to show some mercy.
"Ha ha ha, leave?" The vice president laughed wildly, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world, and said, "Li Mu, what did you say? Let bygones be bygones? Are you scared stiff? You’d better think about yourself first."
"Ha ha ha, madman!"
"Li Mu has been like the "frog in the well" for too long. The world has changed, but he is still flaunting his former fame."
"Threatening us by using your former reputation? Do you really think we are afraid?"
"Now that it’s no longer your heyday, you should just hide in the mountains to make a living. It’s your fault for coming out and scaring the people."
The high-level management of the Cultivators’ Association also laughed and ridiculed him.
Loud laughter echoed within the huge Zhongtian Building.
Some cultivators, who were really frightened by his fame, were thus encouraged to abandon their awe of Li Mu. Their expressions relaxed as well.
Su Cuo felt heartbroken when she saw this scene.
Because only she knew what Li Mu had contributed to Earth.
No matter which era people lived in, such a hero should not be laughed at.
But Li Mu wasn’t angry at all.
He was counting down to 60 seconds seriously.
Being regarded as a trump card, Husky followed Lu Xun to Wine Spring to rebuild the headquarters of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance. So it didn’t come with Li Mu.
"Ha ha, Li Mu, I don’t mind telling you that everything that is going on in the building is being broadcast live at the moment. Soon, your death will be seen by all the cultivators around the world. Your former fame will become a stepping stone for our association. Ha ha ha, today is your date of death."
The vice president laughed.
The live streaming was specially arranged by him.
The forthcoming battle was extremely important to him. It was a great opportunity for him to rise and establish his reputation in cultivation circles all over the world.
"Really? Thank you very much," Li Mu said.
After the split of the sky and the ground, ordinary people could no longer be connected to the
With abundant financial resources, it wasn’t difficult for Cultivators’ Association to prepare a global live broadcast in advance.
Li Mu stood motionless, focused on his countdown.
"Humph, you are deliberately mystifying. I’ll compete with you first."
A figure flashed on the third floor.
A bearded man holding a giant axe with a long handle jumped down from the third floor. Axe blade flew straight like a white line, split the air into two parts, and headed for Li Mu’s head as a rolling savage airflow gushed by on both sides.
But when he was three meters away from Li Mu, he was blocked by an invisible force. He staggered back to the inner corridor of the third floor. He took three steps back before he could barely maintain balance.
"Ha ha. Just so-so." The bearded brawny man burst into laughter.
"Remember my name. I’m Luo Xuan, the Blood Axe, from the third department of Cultivators’ Association. I exchanged one move with the Eastern God of War, Li Mu. We are evenly matched."
He looked quite proud of himself.
The higher-ups of the Cultivators’ Association didn’t stop him. Instead, they wanted to test Li Mu’s current strength by using the battle with Luo Xuan.
Of course, only a few people knew how terrible Li Mu was at the moment. The battle in the scenic area of Mogao Caves hadn’t spread across the country yet, but they received some information more or less.
Even so, they didn’t show any respect or awe.
Because they believed that they were stronger than Li Mu.
"I’m Xia Ling, the Golden Snake Whip. I dare you to compete with me."
"Ha ha ha, I’m Zhou Tong, the Flower-scrubbing Sword …"
"Tyrannical Broadsword Yue Lun…"
With Luo Xuan’s ‘successful example’, many cultivators were eager to have a try and finally took action. After all, Li Mu was destined to die in today’s death trap. If they could fight with him before his death, it could be counted as something to brag about in the future.
However, the scene seemed like one of ants trying to bite an elephant.
Su Cuo was so angry that her body trembled violently.
Those cultivators’ fiendish faces were disgusting.
In the era of the Spiritual Qi eruption, the sky and the earth were split up while the bad nature of humans was greatly magnified, particularly cultivators who had obtained equal power of "supermen". Their ugly sides were shown to the extreme all of a sudden.
"Birds of a feather flock together."
Li Mu stood still while his invisible force caused all the cultivators who took action to bounce off, without getting hurt.
Because a minute hadn’t gone by yet.
However, his response stimulated more cultivators to act attack more impudently.
They attacked Li Mu one after another…
Finally…"One minute is up." Li Mu ended his count.
He stretched out his hand in the void, and an ordinary steel knife appeared in his hand.
He brought the knife from Hero Martial Arts Alliance. Though made of high-quality steel, it was neither a spiritual weapon nor an enchanted one; instead, it was just an ordinary steel knife. Cold light reflected off its streamlined blade.
A cultivator rushed up to indicate his presence. With a flash of broadsword light, he felt dizzy in an instant and was cut down by the knife and bled profusely.
The smell of blood instantly pervaded the hall on the first floor.
The cultivator’s hands and feet started to twitch. After a while, he was completely dead, lying in a pool of blood.
All of a sudden, people in the Zhongtian Mansion became silent.
Some superiors of the Cultivators’ Association were also stunned. Li Mu’s previous "tolerance" made them mistakenly believe that he might not make any moves to defend himself. These peoples’ instant deaths shocked them to the core.
"Advance! Kill him!" The vice president clenched his teeth and cried out in a gloomy voice.
After being in shock for a few moments, the battle began in an instant.
The surrounding cultivators suddenly rushed toward Li Mu like a flood bursting through a dam.
The knife in Li Mu’s hand flickered and drew a circle on the ground with Su Cuo at its core.
"Stay within the circle. Don’t come out until I defeat them." He said to Su Cuo.
Su Cuo nodded and said, "Okay, you… be careful."
"Ha ha ha!" Li Mu burst into laughter.
He couldn’t even warm up on such an occasion, so why should he be so cautious?
He said nothing and only laughed. Raising his knife, he strode forward and hacked away at them unhesitatingly.
The cultivators who attacked in waves were cut apart, overturned, and killed by him.
"Kill him!"
A long spear thrust forward Li Mu like a satanic dragon with energy fluctuations of the Void-breaking Realm.
The spear’s master was an extremely cultivated expert.
But Li Mu didn’t even spare him a look. With a casual wave of his broadsword, he cleaved the steel spear into two parts at the tip. At the same time, the person holding the spear was also cut into two pieces.
The cultivators were killed one after another by his blade.
Though Li Mu’s attack was casual and calm, no one could take that at all.
The wave of cultivators couldn’t get close to him at all. The wounded lying on the ground felt that Li Mu was full of flaws and could have been easily captured. When they attacked, they unexpectedly met with a beam of dazzling blade light that could split the sky and the earth.
"Splash!"
Blood spurted everywhere.
A middle-aged cultivator and his broadsword and shield were hacked into six pieces by Li Mu’s one move.
The ordinary steel broadsword became an invincible divine weapon in Li Mu’s hand. Wherever the broadsword light flashed, no one, no weapons or armors could block his strike.
"Get out of the way. I’ll deal with him." A cultivator made a gesture and chanted an incantation. Then, he conjured up a black tortoise shell and spun it in the air. In the end, it turned into a large shield. He said, "This divine Black Tortoise shield was obtained from Spiritual Tortoise Mountain. Once the spiritual patterns are activated, the shield will be impregnable…"
Before his voice died away, Splash! Li Mu cut both the man and shell into halves with one hack.
The expressions of all the surrounding cultivators changed drastically.
Li Mu mowed down a passage of cultivators on the first floor and went up along the stone stairs.
Along the way, other cultivators rushed over endlessly but were all cut down.
The sound of blades cutting through flesh and the hacking of bones could be heard successively.
Seeing the scene, superiors of the Cultivators’ Association above were not surprised at all. After learning that Li Mu had killed several waves of foreign masters in Donghong, they understood that Li Mu’s strength had improved again.
It would be strange indeed if he couldn’t cope with those inferiors.
They were just puzzled by Li Mu’s combat style as a cultivated master.
"Hey hey, today, I’m destined to rise and be famous in the world."
The vice president was very happy.
The live streaming on the cryptic web had begun.
Cultivators around the world could watch everything that happened in Zhongtian Building as long as they were online. They would also get to see how the vice president defeated Li Mu, the eastern God of War who used to dominate the whole world.
