Chapter 832 Helping in Secret?

Previously, Li Mu just spent a little time restoring his power while he was in the Heavenly Deity Clans s.p.a.ce of Keys. Given his current state, he could barely hold on. Just now, he had no time to stop the Divine-winged Fox from swallowing the red pill.

Now, it was too late.

Li Mu glanced at the armored warriors of the Heavenly Fox Clan.

He knew that they would surely die this time.

It was still a question whether he could save Bi Yan and take her out of here.

Other people could only rely on themselves and pray for themselves.

Li Mu was extremely calm.

Lets get out of here.

He stopped his mental struggles, took Bi Yan into his arms, and moved rapidly backwards.

He attempted to take advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement.

This might be their last chance.

Dont worry about me. You should go now. Bi Yan did not struggle in Li Mus arms. She said softly, They want me... I cant leave my people behind. Whats more, my father is here... If Im destined to die here, I will stay here and fight to the death.

Li Mu held the knife with one hand and Bi Yan with the other. He said in an indisputable tone, As long as we are alive, there is still hope... Im going to get you out of here first and then come back to save your father.

Of course, he was just trying to comfort her.

He moved swiftly to put more distance between himself and the enemies.

Do you want to escape?

Lei Cang had been keeping an eye on Li Mu for a long time. How could he give Li Mu a chance to escape? He took action directly. As he raised his thunder halberd, thunder rumbled and countless lightning bolts streaked across the sky and darted toward Li Mu like wild silver snakes.

Do you think youre the only one that can perform the Thunder Skill?

Li Mu opened his Third Eye.

He performed the skill known as the Divine Thunder of the Nine Heavens. The purple light of pure Yang thunder was generated in the whirlpools in the depths of his pupils. A purple divine thunderbolt erupted forth and dashed toward the silver lightning bolts all over the sky like a divine dragon. In an instant, it tore up the silver lightning bolts. With its remaining power, it darted toward Lei Cang.

Swoos.h.!.+

A ghostly shadow appeared behind Li Mu. The ghostly mist condensed into a thin sword coming toward the back of his head.

He tilted his head slightly to one side, as if he had eyes on the back of his head and saw the thin sword. The thin sword brushed past his ear, and the edge of the sword cut through the ear. At the same time, he swept his right arm flexibly toward his back. The Four-Blade G.o.d Killing Broadsword flashed and cut the ghostly shadow into two pieces.

The successor of the Ghost Clan screamed shrilly.

As expected, he was injured in the fight with the ancestors of the six major clans. Hes not at his peak state.

Li Mu noticed that the reaction ability and strength of the successor of the Ghost Clan were much weaker than he had expected.

As the clouds swirled, a finger print came at him.

He moved swiftly to dodge Cloud Light Saintesss sneak attack and then moved backward.

His Xiantian Skill had reached the seventh level, and he had gained the ability to detect the opponents attacks with his Third Eye. He activated his Third Eye. Although he was seriously injured and exhausted and was holding a person in his arms, he incredibly dodged all the attacks launched by Cloud Light Saintess, Lei Cang, and the successor of the Ghost Clan.

Leave me behind, Bi Yan said, In this way, neither of us can get out of here.

I will live and die together with you.

Li Mus tone was indescribably calm and shockingly determined.

Bi Yan stared blankly at the face of the man who had always been on her mind and in her dreams. She suddenly felt that even if she were to die right now, she would not feel aggrieved at all, but instead she would be very happy.

Without saying anything else, she gently buried her head against Li Mus chest.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

The New Moon Wheel vibrated at a high frequency in the void.

Fairy Shuiyue took action. The New Moon Wheel suddenly turned into a beam of moonlight which darted at Li Mu.

Even though Li Mu had seen it with his Third Eye, he was unable to dodge it. He was too tired because the three masters in the Upper King Realm kept attacking him. His back was. .h.i.t by the New Moon Wheel.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

Blood splashed in the air.

A deep wound appeared on his back, and his white bones were exposed. Half of his body was almost smashed into pieces.

However, he didnt have the time to heal the wound.

Cloud Light Saintess, Lei Cang, and the successor of the Ghost Clan charged at him again.

He had never been in such a dangerous situation before. Now, he was like someone dancing on the tip of knife and could get killed at any time.

He was struggling hard to hold on while looking for an opportunity.

Senior fellow apprentice, are we really not going to do anything?

The Immortal Taoist stood in another s.p.a.ce, holding a bra.s.s vessel in his hand. Obviously, he had successfully killed one of the six ancestors of the traitorous devils and obtained the key fragment. Through the translucent s.p.a.ce barrier, he could clearly see that Li Mu was in a dangerous situation.

The battle in this s.p.a.ce had ended.

Athanasia Taoist Child said slowly with a calm look on his face, Lets wait and see.

The Immortal Taoist looked a little anxious. If we wait any longer, Li Mu will die.

Not necessarily. Athanasia Taoist Child remained calm.

Li Mu was injured again, and one of his legs was almost cut off. He couldnt even stand steadily. Blood spurted out of his wounds.

The Immortal Taoist said, Senior fellow apprentice, we cant wait any longer.

Athanasia Taoist Child turned his head and looked at his junior fellow apprentice in a strange way. Well, let me ask you. Are you going to save Li Mu or help Cloud Light Saintess and Lei Cang?

The Immortal Taoist said, Ill certainly help Li Mu. After all, he is Senior Yus successor. I...

Athanasia Taoist Child chimed in, Do you mean that youre going to follow Li Mu and betray your race for a demonic woman? Thats a crime of disrespect for your master and ancestors. Im afraid that even our master would be unable to protect you if you were to do that. Have you thought it through? Are you really going to take action?

Well... The Immortal Taoist was at a loss for words.

He didnt think that much.

However... Li Mu said that the situation might be turned around as long he was willing to give them the key fragments. Why... stammered the Immortal Taoist.

Athanasia Taoist Child sneered. When did the G.o.ds of the Celestial Court ever negotiate with their sworn enemies?

The Immortal Taoist froze when he heard that.

Li Mu is courting death today. Athanasia Taoist Child sighed.

He said in a sympathetic tone, If he had killed the ancestors of the traitorous devils and gotten the key fragments, he would have received the corresponding reward and compensation even if he couldnt keep those key fragments in the end. Moreover, if he had done that, the Divine Clans of the Celestial Court would have owed him a favor, which would be of great help to him in the future. However, he actually had an affair with that demonic woman and stubbornly stepped in to help her regardless of the consequences. This time, he cant turn the situation around. Even the Death Clan and other major forces will not let him off the hook, not to mention the Six Divine Clans.

But... How can we just watch Li Mu die? The Immortal Taoist felt that there was a glimmer of hope. He said, Senior fellow apprentice, you are peerlessly smart. Can you come up with a plan to save him? He is affectionate and loyal, and he is a real man.

Athanasia Taoist Child glanced at his junior fellow apprentice and said earnestly, Do you know why our master doesnt want you to take the lead in this battle for the keys? You practice the Sanqing Cultivation Method, but you cant set aside your feelings. You are always tied down by external things...

I know that, but senior fellow apprentice, this matter is an exception. Can you think of a way to save him? The Immortal Taoist smiled mischievously.

However, Athanasia Taoist Child looked unprecedentedly serious.

Youd better stop thinking about that. He stared at the Immortal Taoist and said in a solemn tone, You may ignore your personal safety, but you have to take the Chunyang Clans honor seriously. Dont act recklessly and bring shame and disaster upon the Chunyang Clan.

The Immortal Taoist could no longer smile cheekily.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Li Mu was attacked many times.

His body was almost smashed into pieces.

Even so, he was still protecting Bi Yan with his own body.

Bi Yan had taken some healing pills and was making the best use of the time to heal her body.

Li Mu, this is your last chance. Hand over that demonic woman and the keys so that I can spare your life. Fairy Shuiyue felt moved. She was shocked by Li Mus firm determination to protect his woman, and she couldnt help sympathizing with him.

As a woman, she was rather envious of Bi Yan.

How lucky that demonic woman is! She has a man who is fully committed to her and protects her without regard for his own safety.

Li Mu did not answer.

He was panting heavily. He did not even have the strength and time to speak.

However, his actions explained everything.

He brandished his broadsword and fought back.

He protected Bi Yan with his own body.

Youre so stubborn and beyond redemption. Im going to kill you!

Cloud Light Saintess attacked Li Mu without reservation as her body surged with strong killing intent. Each of her moves was fatal.

Lei Cang and the successor of the Ghost Clan were also determined to kill Li Mu. Filled with killing intent, they frantically attacked him, leaving him with no chance to survive.

Boom!

The New Moon Wheel hit Li Mus back again.

The tremendous force sent him flying. Half of his body was almost smashed, and many of his bones were broken.

However, he finally got a chance. He took the blow head-on. Relying on the reaction force, he performed the Somersault Cloud skill and flew toward the boundary of the s.p.a.ce like a beam of light.

Eh? Do you want to escape by taking advantage of my attack? You wis.h.!.+ Fairy Shuiyue shouted in a low voice.

The New Moon Wheel followed closely behind Li Mu like a shadow and struck him continuously.

He flew through the s.p.a.ce, leaving a trajectory of afterimages behind him.

By this time, Bi Yan had partially recovered from her injuries. Her meridians were no longer blocked, and she was able to control the natural Qi in her body. With a stir of her mind, she manipulated the key fragments in her body to disturb the s.p.a.ce of Keys. Numerous s.p.a.ce barriers appeared behind Li Mu.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The New Moon Wheel smashed into the s.p.a.ce barriers, and the transparent broken pieces of the s.p.a.ce barriers flew in all directions.

The three masters in the Upper King Realm continued to chase after Li Mu.

Ha-ha, you three juniors are going nowhere.

The Divine-winged Foxs power soared, and he burned his body and reached his peak state. Relying on his marvelous broadsword skills, he stood in the way of three masters in the Upper King Realm alone. Cloud Light Saintess, Lei Cang, the successor of the Ghost Clan, and Fairy Shuiyue grew anxious. None of them could break the broadsword screen created by the Divine-winged Fox.

During the short interlude, Li Mu, who was severely injured, finally flew out of the s.p.a.ce and disappeared.

d.a.m.n it!

Cloud Light Saintess was infuriated.

Today, she had suffered the greatest loss because she was the only one that failed to get a key.

For someone who was so proud and arrogant, this was a hard pill to swallow.

Bang!

The Divine-winged Foxs aura gradually faded, and his strength declined rapidly. He could no longer resist the attacks of the three angry masters in the Upper King Realm. In the end, his body exploded and turned into a blood mist. He died and disappeared between heaven and earth.

Shuiyue, what were you trying to do? Why did you help Li Mu escape?

With a sullen look on her face, Cloud Light Saintess glared at Fairy Shuiyue, the successor of the Mist Clan.

Obviously, the last strike of the New Moon Wheel helped Li Mu escape.

Fairy Shuiyue said with a calm look on her face, Yunguang, youd better think before you speak. Dont try to lay the blame on me.

You... Cloud Light Saintess shouted angrily, Im not going to let this matter slide!

She didnt have time to argue. She leapt into the air and rushed in the direction where Li Mu disappeared.

Before she did that, Lei Cang and the successor of the Ghost Clan had already set out to chase Li Mu.

Since Bi Yan had left, this s.p.a.ce of Keys started to disperse.

All the armored warriors of the Green Fox Tribe had died.

Fairy Shuiyue didnt chase after Li Mu. Instead, she let out a soft sigh and left with the masters of the Mist Clan.

Senior fellow apprentice, what should we do now? In another s.p.a.ce of Keys, the Immortal Taoist was surprised to find that Li Mu had managed to escape successfully in the end. He felt relieved.

Athanasia Taoist Child said, Lets follow them. The key fragments are incredibly valuable. Im afraid that Li Mu hasnt gone far.

The Immortal Taoist asked, Senior fellow apprentice, youre finally willing to take action!

Athanasia Taoist Child didnt say anything.
