487: Bullying the weak

“A child?”

Shi Niang and the others were truly surprised when they saw it was a child.

They thought, 'It’s just a little brat, what can he do?'

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, they heard the word “Saint” from Li Mu’s mouth.

Shi Niang and everyone else were instantly stunned on the spot; a Saint, by the heavens!

What was the difference between this and meeting the God of Death?!

Shi Niang nervously tugged at Li Mu’s clothes, “Li Mu, this… ”

The Li Family Patriarch’s face was aghast, looking pale: “Little brother, even you, I’m afraid, won’t be able to do anything this time!”

Li Mu comforted everyone, “Li Family Patriarch, whether we can or not, we’ll only know after trying. It’s too early to give up now.”

Unexpectedly, first they encountered a Quasi-Saint, and now a Saint.

His luck was truly unparalleled; if Linglong were here, it would be much easier.

He looked at Shi Niang and the others behind him; most of their cultivation did not exceed Refining Void and Combining Dao Level. The slightly better one was the Li Family Patriarch, but his cultivation was only that of an Earth Immortal.

One was a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and the other an Earth Immortal; in front of a Saint, they were utterly insignificant.

He also didn’t know if he could still use the power of the Chaos Pearl this time; it was already extremely difficult when he used it before.

If he were facing a Saint, he really didn’t know if it would work!

Li Mu extended his right hand, and the Jin Ming Sword was in his grasp.

It seemed futile to let Shi Niang and the others escape in front of a Saint, after all, Xiang Wenyan before was already a clear lesson.

“I’ll attract his main force; you all cooperate from the side.”

“Okay, be careful!”

Elder Mu, hearing Li Mu say he wanted to try, a strange, eerie expression appeared on his youthful face.

“Hahahaha, this old man wants to see how you, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and an Earth Immortal, will try against this old man?”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a powerful Qi surged from his body, causing the surrounding space to subtly twist.

Elder Mu’s seemingly casual movements actually contained endless pressure and power.

He merely extended one hand slightly, and that Saint-like Qi swept forth like surging, tumultuous waves, as if to engulf the entire heaven and earth.

On Li Mu’s side, facing this sudden and powerful attack, their defense immediately became extremely difficult, as if every inch of their skin was bearing immense pressure, and every nerve was stretched to its limit.

As Elder Mu’s mocking gesture fell, a surging, dense Spiritual Qi, like an enraged Dragon, instantly shot out from his palm, resembling a bolt of lightning piercing through darkness, striking the protective shield meticulously released by Li Mu and his group with lightning speed.

The protective shield emitted a dull thud under the impact of the Spiritual Qi, as if groaning in pain.

Then, with a crisp “Bang!” like shattering glass, the protective shield that Li Mu had painstakingly released instantly tore into pieces, transforming into a sky full of fragmented spiritual light scattering everywhere.

The residual Spiritual Qi was like sharp blades, fiercely striking everyone, mercilessly knocking them all to the ground.

Li Mu and the Li Family Patriarch, relying on their relatively profound cultivation, barely managed to stabilize themselves, but a faint trace of blood still involuntarily seeped from the corners of their mouths, a sign of severe internal injury.

In contrast, Shi Niang and the others all suffered heavy blows, being knocked back hundreds of meters. Each of them was pale, continuously spewing fresh blood, as if they had just survived a battle of life and death.

Especially Xiang Wenyan, who had the lowest cultivation; he was already weak, and under this fierce attack, he was completely defenseless, once again knocked unconscious, his body limply collapsing to the ground, as if losing the vitality of life.

Before losing consciousness, Xiang Wenyan glanced at Li Mu’s side, thinking to herself, “This familiar dizzy feeling, I wonder if I’ll ever wake up…”

The surrounding air seemed to be solidified by this intense battle, permeated with a strong scent of blood and the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Li Mu swiftly waved his hand like lightning, and two bottles of Medicinal Pills immediately appeared in everyone’s hands.

He reminded them, “Quickly take the Medicinal Pills; injuries from a Saint’s attack are fatal.”

Shi Niang, Hu Bingbing, and Camilla, upon hearing his words, showed a hint of nervousness on their faces, but then unhesitatingly picked up the Medicinal Pills in their hands and swallowed them as quickly as possible.

The moment the Medicinal Pills entered their mouths, a warm current, like the sunlight of a spring day, surged from their Dantian, then, like a rushing stream, quickly spread throughout every corner of their bodies, every meridian, every muscle.

Li Mu and the Li Family Patriarch also didn’t hesitate; they each picked up a Medicinal Pill and put it into their mouths, swallowing it gently, and the Medicinal Pill slid down their throats into their stomachs.

Just then, Li Mu inadvertently turned his head slightly, his gaze falling casually upon Elder Mu.

Is this the strength of a Saint? It’s simply beyond normal imagination. Attacking him with ordinary methods is completely futile.

His speed of attack was astonishingly fast, like an illusory shadow. Without a perfect opportunity, even trying to attack him with the power of the Chaos Pearl would likely not succeed.

Because at his speed of attack, the moment he saw the Chaos Pearl, it was possible that the Chaos Pearl would be easily snatched away by this old ghost.

At this moment, the already somewhat solemn atmosphere seemed to be further suppressed by an invisible force, and the air seemed to be filled with tension.

Li Mu slightly narrowed his eyes, a subtle glint flashing within them, then he gave the Li Family Patriarch a meaningful look, and then stood steadily at the very front of the group.

Li Mu threw his head back and laughed heartily, his laughter carrying a hint of unruliness and boldness, “Senior, for a Saint of your cultivation to bully us juniors, this is truly a great loss of decorum!”

Elder Mu looked at the young yet confident man before him, nodding inwardly, “Young man, seeing your composure in the face of danger, your talent is indeed quite extraordinary. This old man will make an exception today and accept you, a Human Race, as an Outer Sect Disciple. What do you think?”

And before this, Elder Mu had already subtly sensed something unusual; it seemed they held a different attitude towards this young leader.

He was so young, yet had already entered the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Such cultivation and talent, looking across the entire world, it would be difficult to find three people who could compare to him.

If he could truly be taken in as an Outer Sect Disciple, then doing things in the future would surely become much easier.

Furthermore, Elder Mu couldn’t help but recall a mysterious secret sect he had accidentally discovered earlier. It was said that this secret sect specialized in refining people into medicinal bodies, and then consuming them could greatly increase one’s own cultivation.
