After setting up the formation, Li Mu meditated within it, waiting for the right opportunity.

Huo Huanyu and his group were discussing things in hushed tones.

There is only one theme: how to capture Li Mu in one fell swoop.

The martial artists who remain here are all elites, with absolutely superb fighting experience.

They're all seasoned veterans who've seen life and death countless times; who among them hasn't taken a life?

To put it simply, they regularly engage in internal sect sparring, martial arts competitions, and vying for cultivation resources.

Whether by accident, intentional, or out of personal revenge, someone will die each time.

This time, the group that surrounded and killed Li Mu actually fought back three times, which further fueled everyone's fighting spirit.

Everyone believed that Li Mu would definitely launch a fourth attack.

Looking at Li Mu's several moves, the first time he was killed was the most bizarre, and in a short period of time, almost his entire army was wiped out.

They believed that Li Mu must have set some kind of trap, which was why so many people were killed.

The second and third counterattacks did not result in many deaths, and those who died were all low-level martial artists.

This shows that Li Mu's strength is only so-so; apart from being ruthless, he's more like a rat hiding in the shadows.

After some discussion, the forty-odd people split into two teams again, separated in the forest, and helped each other defend from the left and right.

.

Li Mu saw in his divine sense that the area had split into two teams, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Regardless of how many teams the enemy has, they must be lured into the enemy's formation and attacked.

The purpose of the night raid was not to kill many people, but mainly to harass and instill fear in the enemy.

At midnight, Li Mu set out, and the night raid began.

Perhaps the late hours of the night would be the best time, but Li Mu wanted to do the opposite.

The three daytime attacks must have caught the enemy's attention, and they probably guessed that I would launch a night attack.

In that case, the longer time goes on, the more vigilant the other party will become.

Using the Wind Chaser Step combined with stealth, Li Mu silently made his way to Huo Huanyu and his group's gathering place.

"Hoo-hoo!"

"Whoosh!"

About five zhang away from the two teams, two soft sounds were heard.

Li Mu swung a nail to the left, while the wooden tooth pierced the air and aimed straight for the right.

"Ah! An attack..."

Several screams rang out, and someone warned that they were under attack.

Within one's consciousness.

The nails injured four or five people, one of whom actually caught one with his bare hands.

Although blood was seeping from the hands of the person who caught the nail, it must be said that this person was exceptionally skilled and had a remarkable ability to react on the spot.

Mu Ya was also deflected by Huo Huanyu's blade, but no one else was injured.

.

When Muya's attack missed, Li Mu immediately withdrew his weapon and turned to leave.

"Li Mu, stop playing tricks. Since you're here, stay."

Huo Huanyu reacted incredibly quickly. After deflecting Mu Ya, he immediately stood up and shot towards the direction where Li Mu was standing.

Behind Li Mu, dozens of flashlights quickly shone over, and a chase game began, which was quite spectacular.

"Attention everyone, Li Mu is here. Maintain formation and follow Sect Leader Huo in pursuit."

Lin Sen called out to the crowd, then leaped up to give chase.

He was the one who caught the Death Nail with his bare hands. With his Heavenly Realm cultivation, the Death Nail had little effect on him.

It was observed that almost everyone on the other side, except for a few who were treating the injuries, had come out.

Li Mu did not flee with all his might, maintaining a distance of about ten zhang from Huo Huanyu, who was at the forefront.

A few minutes later, upon arriving at the Bagua Illusion Array, Li Mu struck the center of the array with his palm, activating the array.

After passing through the illusion array, he turned around and fired another set of Death Nails, blocking the first few pursuers within the illusion array.

Amidst the clanging of weapons, two screams rang out.

"ah!"

"ah!"

These people are indeed formidable; a single Death's Nail only managed to injure two people.

Huo Huanyu, who was chasing in the lead, was not injured in the slightest.

.

Soon, about twenty people had entered the already activated illusion array.

Upon seeing the flying sand and stones and the sudden rise of mist within the formation, the other warriors who had not yet entered the formation immediately stopped.

"This place should be a formation. Everyone be careful and do not enter. Follow me around the formation."

Although Lin Sen also moved forward to pursue, he had already begun to pay attention when Li Mu channeled spiritual energy into the center of the formation.

Now that he saw the illusion, he immediately realized that it must be a formation.

I thought to myself, this Li Mu is truly a prodigy. Not only does he have a variety of methods, but he also understands formations.

Upon hearing Lin Sen's words, Li Mu was surprised to find that there were actually some discerning people among this group.

Li Mu knew he couldn't wait any longer; otherwise, the illusion array would become useless.

Wooden teeth flashed out, the Deathly Nails flew out, and wind blades whistled.

In an instant, screams erupted from within the illusionary array, and blood mist filled the sky.

Wanting to teach this group a lesson, Li Mu raised his cultivation level to its limit.

In less than half a minute, Li Mu already felt that his spiritual power was greatly depleted, and the formation was no longer able to support him.

Moreover, Lin Sen and his men have already surrounded the formation from both sides.

"escape!"

This was the first time Li Mu had ever felt he had to leave as soon as possible, and that he had to escape.

Before the battle began, he estimated that the formation could hold out for three minutes, but now it couldn't even last half a minute.

Those trapped in the formation have begun attacking it; once the formation is broken, they will face certain death.

He had thought through his opponent very clearly, but he underestimated his opponent and overestimated himself.

Li Mu summoned Mu Ya back and turned to leave.

.

Fortunately, Li Mu acted decisively and did not linger in the fight.

I had only walked about thirty or forty meters when I felt someone chasing me from behind.

The person who chased after them was Lin Sen, who was leading the team, followed by a dozen or twenty people.

Moreover, Huo Huanyu has already broken the formation.

The lights focused and illuminated the illusionary array, where a large number of people had already fallen, with countless severed limbs and a scene of utter despair. Four or five people were dead, and seven were seriously injured.

All the dead were those injured in the first round of being struck by the "Deathly Nails".

Only seven or eight people were able to stand, all of them injured, including Huo Huanyu.

Huo Huanyu, who was pierced by three nails, looked at the horrific scene on the ground with eyes wide with rage.

Huo Huanyu addressed the standing martial artists:

"Fellow Daoists, please stay here to heal your wounds and also help treat the injuries of the other Daoists."

After finishing speaking, Huo Huanyu shot into the air in the direction Li Mu had fled, shouting loudly as he did so:

“That scoundrel Li Mu is a vicious and despicable man who has gone too far in bullying us. Today, I will surely capture him and avenge you all.”

.

Li Mu immediately replenished his life-saving pill after turning around.

If the spiritual energy in one's body is depleted and not replenished, it will be difficult to shake off the pursuers behind.

After the pill entered his stomach, his spiritual energy was quickly replenished, and the speed of his Wind Chasing Step increased.

A few minutes later, the distance between them and Lin Sen, who was chasing in the lead, increased to more than 100 meters.

Li Mu swallowed another Qi-replenishing pill, and in a short time, the spiritual energy in his body was replenished by about 70% under the effect of the two pills.

Ten minutes later, the distance between the two sides widened again, now exceeding 300 meters.

If he kept running, Li Mu believed that in just half an hour, he could run away without leaving a trace.

However, he wasn't going to keep running like that; he wanted to kill another wave.

When the two were about 400 meters apart, Li Mu punched a big tree in front of him.

After making a little noise, he darted into the bushes with a few quick movements and the addition of invisibility.
