Chapter 802 - Reappearance of the Samsara Knife
Chapter 802 Reappearance of the Samsara Knife
Li Mu was taken by surprise again.
“Here comes another idiot...”
Tian Fu’s stupidity had already made him doubt the intelligence quotient of the practitioners in the world of Mount Song. When he saw the way Tian Fu’s mother acted and spoke, he thought that his earlier doubts might have been too superficial.
From a genetic point of view, perhaps stupidity was heritable.
Only such a stupid mother could have such a stupid daughter.
Tian Fu’s life was in Li Mu’s hands.
What made the senior members of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect think that Li Mu would really release the hostage just because they stood up and behaved so arrogantly?
However, that was not important for Li Mu.
What mattered was that he had arrived at the gate of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect.
He could finally settle the problem once and for all.
With a flick of his mind, he retrieved the streak of broadsword light around Tian Fu’s neck. It wriggled like a silvery snake and returned to his hand.
He shoved Tian Fu forward.
The Young Mistress of the Sky Sword Peak was pushed toward her mother, Zheng Xiujing.
What he did surprised everyone.
Zheng Xiujing subconsciously reached out her hands to catch her daughter. She thought for a long time, wondering if Li Mu had really released her daughter because of the few harsh words she said just now.
“This...”
Actually, she didn’t even expect Li Mu to let her daughter go after she scolded him so harshly before.
The surrounding Sword Whizzes were a little shocked when they saw this.
“Is this young man from the mortal world a fool?”
“Why didn’t he even state the conditions before releasing the Young Mistress?”
“In this case, he is doomed to die.”
Tian Fu, who had regained her freedom, turned around and glared at Li Mu. There was no gratitude on her pretty face, which had a proud and domineering look. On the contrary, she looked fierce and vicious.
“Ha-ha, you bastard, are you afraid now? It’s too late. It’s a pity that you’ve let me go. Later, I will ‘repay’ you very well when you fall into my hands... What are you waiting for? Go and get him.”
Standing behind her mother, she waved her hand to issue the orders.
Led by Zhuo Yun, the grand elder of the Sky Sword Peak, the Sword Whizzes immediately rushed forward, desperate to atone for their mistakes.
“Get lost!”
Broadsword Intent swirled around Li Mu.
Boom!
Several hundred Sword Whizzes that had rushed forward desperately, including the grand elder Zhuo Yun, spat out mouthfuls of blood as they were sent flying backward like rice husks in the wind.
The Sword Whizzes’ formation fell into chaos.
“You really forgot the pain after your wound was healed.”
Li Mu looked at Tian Fu and said, “You keep calling me a bastard. You deserve to die for calling me that.”
“How dare you!” Tian Fu guffawed. “So many masters are here to protect me. Try and capture me again if you can. Ha-ha...”
Before her voice died away...
All the Sword Whizzes felt their visions blurring.
Li Mu disappeared and reappeared in the same place.
When he reappeared, he was grabbing someone by the throat. Then, he lifted the person up with one hand. That person was certainly Tian Fu.
“What?”
All the Sword Whizzes were dumbfounded. Zheng Xiujing was the first to realize what had happened.
She was the wife of Tian Shiyi, the head of the Sky Sword Peak, and one of the “top ten swordspersons” in the Mind-clearing Sword Sect with the title of Thunderbolt Divine-fire Sword. She was a powerful master, but now she could do nothing but watch her daughter being taken away again.
“What happened just now?”
“You... ahem, ahem, you...”
Being choked by Li Mu, Tian Fu could barely breathe or struggle. She stared at Li Mu.
This time, she was a little scared.
Even though she hid behind her mother, she was still caught in an instant. Now, she no longer felt safe. “If he wants to kill me, he can do it easily in the blink of an eye.”
“You’re very young, but you are so vicious and foul-mouthed. You deserve a beating.”
Li Mu raised his hand and slapped her in the face several times.
Tian Fu’s face suddenly swelled up. She lost all her teeth, and her mouth was filled with blood.
“Ah, I’m going to kill you.”
Seeing how her daughter had been beaten so badly, Zheng Xiujing suddenly flew into a rage. She activated her power, turned into a stream of red light, and charged at Li Mu with a long red sword in her hand. The sword glowed with a red color and a powerful force radiated from it.
Thunderbolt Divine-fire Sword.
Although she was boiling with rage, she was still very rational and clear-minded when she took action.
The tip of the Thunderbolt Divine-fire Sword was targeted at Li Mu’s right hand, which held Tian Fu in a vise-like grip. The move was subtle, illusory, yet real. The laws of Sword Intent were strong. Her sword skills were much better than her brain.
“She’s trying to force me to let go of her daughter.
“She’s at the elementary level of the King Realm. Her strength is quite good.
Li Mu did not move at all. He flicked the thumb of his left hand.
The flick did not carry any Broadsword Qi or Broadsword Intent, but instead, it only carried sheer physical strength. Li Mu pressed his thumb against the tip of the Thunderbolt Divine-fire Sword.
Ah...
Zheng Xiujing involuntarily cried out in pain.
The Thunderbolt Divine-fire Sword instantly broke into pieces that looked like silvery butterflies. An irresistible strong force was transferred along the blade of the sword to her hand that almost ripped her hand into pieces. The palm, back, and fingers of her hand holding the sword cracked, and blood flowed out of the cracks.
She was sent flying.
Li Mu defeated her with just one move.
However, he did not press on with the attack.
He flicked his finger toward the left behind him.
“Show yourself, you sneaky bastard. How long are you going to hide?”
A beam of strong Broadsword Qi ripped through the void.
As the void rippled, a burly figure carrying a strange sword on his back appeared in the depths of the void and slowly walked out of the void. He stared at Li Mu with furrowed eyebrows and said, “How did you spot me?”
Li Mu did not answer. He asked, “Judging from your power, you should be a master-level practitioner of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect, right?”
The burly man had disheveled long hair, a long face, and a full beard and had an imposing look. The sword on his back had only the silhouette of a sword, with an edge but no blade. He made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before his chest.
“I’m Tian Shiyi, the head of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect at the Sky Sword Peak.”
He introduced himself.
“Oh, you’re Tian Fu’s father.”
Li Mu suddenly understood everything.
When he took action just now, he felt that someone was hiding in the depths of the void and was waiting for an opportunity to attack him.
This should be a prearranged plan.
As planned, Tian Fu’s mother, Zheng Xiujing, showed up to face Li Mu head-on and provoked him with all kinds of harsh words, and she even acted like a stupid shrew to attract his attention. Then, Tian Shiyi, who was hiding in the dark, would stealthily attack and kill Li Mu while the latter was distracted so that he could save his daughter.
This plan made sense.
The Mind-clearing Sword Sect was the top sect of Mount Song, and the Sky Sword Peak was one of three main peaks of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect. Tian Shiyi, the head of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect, and Zheng Xiujing, one of the “top ten swordspersons” of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect, were both top masters among masters. If they were really that stupid to believe that they could frighten Li Mu into letting go of their daughter by saying just a few words, they would probably have been killed thousands of times by their competitors in the sect’s internal and external conflicts.
However, Li Mu’s releasing Tian Fu and easily recapturing her had shocked the head of the Sky Sword Peak greatly.
For this reason, Tian Shiyi did not take action before his daughter was out of Li Mu’s reach.
Li Mu saw the heavy karmic burdens in Tian Shiyi’s body, and he could even hear countless wronged spirits cursing and crying mournfully around Tian Shiyi. The putrid smells made Li Mu feel sick.
“This man is a devil.
“He’s a perverted devil that likes to abuse and kill others in various ways.”
Li Mu found it very strange.
“Why are all the senior members of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect a little abnormal and perverted?
“The two words ‘mind-clearing have really been abused by this sect...”
“Ha-ha-ha, you’re Li Mu, right? Thank you for delivering yourself to my door. Your body looks quite good. I think I can use it for my research material. Why don’t you take the initiative and surrender? If you do that, I would consider letting you die in a less miserable way. Otherwise...” Tian Shiyi stuck out his tongue and licked his lips as if he were relishing something. Then, he said, “I remember a record set by me. I once sliced a master in the King Realm for a period of one hundred and three days before he died. His screams sounded like the notes of a piece of heavenly music, which made me feel very excited.”
“Is that so?”
Li Mu grabbed Tian Fu with one hand and stretched the other hand into the void.
The silvery Samsara Knife appeared in his hand.
“I would like to remind you that in your next life, you should figure out the situation first before you show off, okay?”
Li Mu raised his hand and thrust the Samsara Knife.
It was a historical moment.
It was the first time that the people in this famous mountain on the Earth had seen Li Yidao’s mysterious knife.
The knife shone with a mythical light, and a brilliant flash of this light streaked through the sky, seeming to have created a beautiful dream from which no one wanted to wake up.
For a moment, thousands of Sword Whizzes around Li Mu looked dazed, as if they had fallen into a beautiful dream.
Li Mu once killed high-level masters in the King Realm with this knife.
Li Mu once shocked the Ziwei Star Zone with this knife.
This knife had become a terrifying legend known to all in the Star River.
No matter how powerful the practitioners in the Star River were or how influential their backgrounds were, they were not willing to face Li Yidao’s knife.
All those who had heard of this legend knew what would happen after this knife appeared.
Death would come soon.
Puff!
The sound of blood spurting out was heard, as expected.
Tian Shiyi stood there in a daze.
He remained in the posture of unsheathing his sword, as if he were frozen on the spot. In the end, his body suddenly split into two evenly cut pieces, and blood spurted out and rained down from the sky, dyeing the white clouds red.
Li Mu thrust his knife only once.
He killed the opponent in the blink of an eye.
Victory or defeat was revealed in the most direct and straightforward way.
The air seemed to have solidified, freezing the looks of disbelief and shock on every single person’s face.
No one was more shocked and frightened than Tian Fu.
All her arrogance, bossiness, and confidence originated from Tian Shiyi’s blood flowing in her body.
Tian Shiyi, a man whose hands were stained with blood, was her greatest supporter.
However, he was dead now.
He died at the hands of the man that she had been ridiculing, mocking, provoking, and insulting.
Great fear engulfed her in waves.
She felt a sudden pang of regret and wanted to cry.
Then, she burst into tears.
“I was wrong...”
She wept bitterly.
“Good.” Li Mu nodded approvingly and said, “Being able to correct your mistake is a great virtue. I will send you to apologize to those innocent people who have been tortured to death by you.”
Then, he snapped her neck.
When Zheng Xiujing saw what happened to her daughter from the distance, she let out a shrill scream and spat out a mouthful of blood. She glared at Li Mu, her eyes burning with resentment. Then, she suddenly turned around and took to her heels.
