As dawn broke, Li Mu was exhausted from the chase.

The dozen or so people behind him showed no sign of letting him go, and the distance between them had shrunk to fifty or sixty meters.

Li Mu knew that if he didn't find a way, he would be caught up sooner or later, and he couldn't afford to keep wasting time like this.

In his mind's eye, there was a cliff ahead, with a drop of at least a hundred feet.

A small plan began to take shape in my mind.

He planned to use the last Life-Giving Pill to restore some of his spiritual power, and then use the Wind-Riding Technique to jump off the cliff and escape.

Before leaving, we must give these people a harsh lesson.

He had taken the Life-Giving Pill in advance, so that he could recover 50% to 60% of his strength before reaching the cliff.

Although they couldn't compare to their peak, Li Mu believed that the people chasing them were also not at their best.

Ten minutes later, Li Mu arrived at the cliff and sat down on the ground.

He held a small jade bottle in his hand; it was the spirit bomb, a great gift he had given to this group.

The summoning bell was taken out; it was for defensive purposes.

There were only a dozen or so death nails left, which he held in his palm.

He didn't plan to use the wooden tooth. Whether it was killing with a sword or fighting in close combat, it consumed too much spiritual energy, and he also had to worry about losing the wooden tooth.

After doing all this, he waited quietly for the guests to arrive.

.

"Haha! Li Mu, we finally meet."

Seeing Li Mu sitting resignedly on the edge of the cliff, Wu Dahuan greeted him with excitement.

There were three Heavenly Realm experts, twelve Earth Realm warriors, and two female warriors among them.

Fifteen martial artists had surrounded Li Mu at the edge of the cliff, making escape impossible this time.

"No one can escape death in the end. Now that I can't escape it, I, Li Mu, am going to accept my fate."

"Could you please tell me your names and the sects you belong to, so I can die knowing why?"

Li Mu spoke calmly, with a helpless expression.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Li Mu, I am Shi Zhongtian from Shizhong Temple."

"I wonder if you have any elixirs or other items to offer for everyone to admire?"

Shi Zhongtian said with a smile, his tone becoming unusually polite.

As the saying goes, a dying man's words are often the best.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Shi is indeed quick-witted and very straightforward."

"I certainly have elixirs and treasures; I will bring them all out once everyone has told me their names."

Li Mu knew what these people were thinking; they simply wanted to fleece him before he died.

"Four tigers from our Taoist Tiger Hall, fellow Daoist Li, I'm glad to meet you!"

"Huang Qi of the Myriad Medicines Hall, and Fellow Daoist Li, it's an honor to meet you!"

Both of these people were people Li Mu had met before, and he nodded to them as a greeting.

"Tianxu Valley is peaceful and serene!"

This is a female warrior with at least two wounds on her body, which should have been left by the Death Nail.

“Cihangzhai Huiming, Fellow Daoist Li, do you have any pills for sale?”

The moment the Taoist nun spoke, Li Mu understood why Jingxin and Jingru looked at him with a guilty expression, as if they had done something wrong.

"Wang Que of the Tianyan Sect greets Fellow Daoist Li!"

Li Mu truly hated the guy with the bow and arrow; if it weren't for him, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

"Fulong Temple Ink Pond".

"Changqingguan Qingmo".

"Wei Yihuan of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Huo Huanyu did not stop the group of people from introducing themselves.

Since they were enemies, he naturally wouldn't introduce himself; instead, he wanted to see what kind of pills or treasures Li Mu could produce.

.

After everyone had introduced themselves, Li Mu stood up, holding a bell in one hand and a small jade bottle in the other.

"Fellow Daoists, this is a bottle of pills, the Breakthrough Pill."

Unlike the pills traded before, this bottle of pills is for high-level martial artists.

A single pill can raise a Heavenly Realm expert by at least one small level.

If the opportunity is right, breaking through to the Innate Realm is not impossible.

If it weren't for the fact that it takes time to refine after eating, I would have eaten it myself long ago.

It's just that I'm unlucky; none of you gave me the chance to take the elixir.

There is only one of these pills; who will obtain it depends entirely on fate.

Li Mu opened the small jade bottle while speaking, showing it to most people so they could see it clearly.

At the same time, some explosive spiritual energy was poured into the bottle.

After saying that, Li Mu threw the jade bottle directly into the air between Shi Zhongtian and Huo Huanyu, and then used his spiritual power to activate the Soul-Summoning Bell.

Hearing that there were pills that could raise the level of the Heavenly Realm, and having even seen the actual pills, everyone was filled with anticipation.

Several people were even plotting how to snatch the pills.

However, Li Mu did not give them time to think before throwing the jade bottle out.

The jade bottle was originally thrown at the two Heavenly Realm experts, so neither Huo Huanyu nor Shi Zhongtian had any reason to be modest.

Such a rare elixir, once missed, is gone forever.

The two looked at the small jade bottle in the air and made their moves almost simultaneously.

The two Earth Realm warriors behind them also instinctively made their move. It wasn't that the others didn't want to, but they were too far away.

Huo Huanyu was more skilled and was the first to come into contact with the jade bottle.

Shi Zhongtian was not slow either; at the same time Huo Huanyu made contact with the jade bottle, he tried to knock the jade bottle into the air.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the small jade bottle exploded without anyone being prepared.

The force of the explosion instantly sent the four people who were trying to steal the item flying.

The two Earth Realm martial artists charged head-on, and when the explosion occurred, they were right next to the jade bottle, their bodies blasted into several pieces.

Huo Huanyu and Shi Zhongtian each had one arm and one head that were blown to pieces, with bones even showing on their arms.

Those who were closer were also thrown back four or five steps by the shockwave, while those who were further away were shaken to their core.

.

Before the explosion, a large bell suddenly appeared on the edge of the cliff, completely covering Li Mu.

This is precisely the defensive artifact transformed from the Soul-Summoning Bell, completely negating the power of the explosion.

Almost all the martial artists were affected by the explosion, except for Li Mu.

After the explosion, Li Mu quickly put away the summoning bell, threw out a handful of death nails, and then leaped towards the cliff.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Li Mu took to the air, an arrow whistled through the air.

Wang Que of the Tianyan Sect also wanted the jade bottle after Li Mu threw it out.

However, he lacked the strength and was also too far away.

After glancing at the jade bottle, I noticed a large bell suddenly appearing in my line of sight.

Moreover, the large bell completely enveloped Li Mu, and he knew the situation had changed, so he immediately nocked an arrow.

The loud bang startled him, but it didn't distract him.

When Li Mu shot the death nail, her arrow also left the bow.

Because he was too focused on releasing the arrow, the death nail struck him between the eyebrows at the same time the arrow left the bow.

Li Mu's divine sense was constantly projected outwards, and with the speed of an arrow, he had no way to dodge it in mid-air.

As the arrows flew towards him, he mobilized all his spiritual power to defend against the damage.

However, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

Lin Hongluan wearing a full set of ski gear.

She leaped down from the mountaintop and landed right in his consciousness.

In order to get a clear look at Lin Hongluan, he even used some spiritual power to turn around in mid-air.

"puff!"

The arrow pierced Li Mu's left chest with cold indifference and emerged from his body.
