Huo Huanyu and his group rushed to the scene of the attack, but the attackers had already disappeared.
After checking the casualties, they asked if the attacker was Li Mu, but it turned out not to be him.
Huo Huanyu was taken aback. Incredibly, there were still people who didn't know their own mortality and dared to get involved in this mess.
After all the other search personnel had gathered, Huo Huanyu was about to discuss the next steps for deployment.
What was supposed to be a well-planned siege has now turned into an attack and harassment, throwing them into disarray.
"Calling Sect Master Huo, I've been attacked by Li Mu."
Suddenly, the walkie-talkie in Elder Wu Dahuan's hand rang at an inopportune moment.
Unexpectedly, just as this matter was being dealt with, Li Mu appeared again.
Judging by the timeline, Li Mu could easily launch a sneak attack from here and then circle around to launch another sneak attack from the rear.
Two people have appeared in two different places. This is strange. Could they really be two people?
Filled with doubt, Huo Huanyu led everyone to reinforce the rear once again.
When the group of martial artists, filled with anger, arrived, they searched the area but couldn't find Li Mu anywhere.
Seeing this, Wu Dahuan was furious and shouted angrily.
“Li Mu, you coward, hiding your head and tail is not the behavior of a true man. Do you dare to come out and fight?”
Li Mu was nearby when he heard those words.
He wondered to himself, "Could this person be a fool?"
You have hundreds of people surrounding and killing me, and you won't even let me launch a sneak attack?
This person really does have a face as big as a naan bread.
.
It was supposed to be an ambush, but since Li Mu entered the mountains, he can't even see a shadow of a man. It's truly ironic.
The group sat together and began to analyze the gains and losses based on Li Mu's actions.
Li Mu made three moves. Except for the first time when almost the entire army was wiped out, the next two times, there were survivors.
According to multiple accounts, the attackers used almost identical methods: controlling their swords with their internal energy and using the "Mourning Gate Nail" as a concealed weapon.
Huo Huanyu almost concluded that Li Mu was faking it, and that it was all his doing.
Of course, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that Li Mu's fellow disciples might have intervened.
After discussing with several key martial artists, Huo Huanyu quickly devised a plan to withdraw voluntarily.
The idea is to get some of the weaker martial artists to voluntarily withdraw from the hunt.
Those who came here to ambush and kill Li Mu were all key members of various sects, and the death of any one of them would be a huge loss.
Li Mu was currently in a dense thicket, about three or four kilometers away from Huo Huanyu and the others.
He would occasionally use his divine sense to observe the movements in the distance.
There were seventy or eighty people sitting together. Although I couldn't hear what they were saying, they were definitely plotting how to deal with me.
The sun was setting, and it was getting dark.
In Li Mu's consciousness, the people chasing him had split into two groups.
What's going on? Are they evacuating a portion of the group?
Sure enough, the next moment, a team of twenty or thirty martial artists headed out of the mountain.
Li Mu was considering whether to launch another attack.
Finally, I decided to rest up and wait for nightfall.
What puzzled Li even more was that none of the people from Ishinoji Temple had participated in the ambush to kill him.
Thinking about it carefully, there is only one possibility: they went to intercept and kill Tan Li.
He didn't know how strong Shi Zhongsi was, but Lao Tan and Cheng Daoyuan were both at the Heavenly Realm, so they should be able to handle him.
.
Shizhong Temple is a temple built in a stone forest, at the foot of a stone mountain.
It was an underground temple; only after entering the mountain gate did one realize that it was a hidden paradise.
It has a long history, but it is not open to pilgrims.
Therefore, almost no one in the world knows that this temple exists.
The most famous thing about Shizhong Temple is the Pure Spirit Water, which is the bottle that Lao Tan got from the Martial Arts Tournament.
This purifying water is produced in a very secluded secret area within the temple grounds. It has the effect of purifying the body of martial artists and detoxifying them.
Just as Li Mu had predicted, the group from Shizhong Temple, led by Abbot Shi Zhongtian and Elder Lü Xu, was intercepting Tan Li.
Deep in the mountains, at the border of Yunnan and Guizhou, the warriors of Shizhong Temple had been waiting there for several days to avenge the monk Qiao Dan.
More than ten martial artists were dispatched, among whom Shi Zhongtian was a Heavenly Realm expert, on par with Huo Huanyu, and was not yet fifty years old.
One peak Earth Realm martial artist, Lü Xu; one mid-Earth Realm martial artist; and ten Profound Realm martial artists.
The lineup was powerful, and the goal was to crush Tan Li, the arrogant Celestial Master who had just entered the Celestial Realm.
Of course, the Cheng family members wouldn't let it go either.
.
After the Cheng family's two SUVs were stopped, a verbal altercation ensued, and the two sides engaged in combat.
Shi Shitian faced off against Tan Li without hesitation, although Tan Li was not as strong as his opponent.
However, both of them were at the Heavenly Realm, so they weren't so easy to kill.
A group of bald monks wanted to crush the Cheng family members.
Cheng Daoyuan did not initially display his Heavenly Realm strength, keeping his trump card up his sleeve.
Surrounded by more than ten martial artists, it would be extremely difficult to protect the three little ones.
Originally, the three younger members of the Cheng family were not capable of participating in the battle, but the magical artifacts crafted by Li Mu were very practical.
They soon discovered that whenever Cheng Daoyuan was unable to attend to everyone's needs, a beam of white light blocked their view.
After the flash of white light, the three discovered that a bead was missing from their bracelet or necklace, but they were unharmed.
So the group began to fight back, regardless of their own lives.
Even after several flashes of white light, they successfully launched a sneak attack, severely injuring several monks.
Of the three, Cheng Shuisheng, who was at the peak of the Profound Realm, was the most composed. He ambushed all three of them, and injured two of them.
Cheng Yi was the most valiant, even injuring a Xuan Realm martial artist.
However, he was only at the mid-stage of the Yellow Realm after all. After the bracelet beads all exploded, he was severely injured by a single blow.
When Cheng Daoyuan saw his little rascal being injured, he flew into a rage and punched Lü Xu, sending him flying.
He also kicked another Earth Realm warrior.
At this point, both sides ceased fighting, checked on the wounded, and took medicine to treat their injuries.
Shi Zhongtian suddenly realized that of the dozen or so people who had come with overwhelming force, five had actually been injured.
The opponent only injured Huang Jing.
What surprised him even more was that Cheng Daoyuan, that old schemer, had actually broken through to the Heavenly Realm.
Next, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.
Tan Li, who had just been injured by himself, recovered immediately after taking a pill and became energetic again.
Moreover, that little brat from the Yellow Realm was also able to move around freely after taking the pill.
Both of their strongest Earth Realm experts had been injured by Cheng Daoyuan, and the enemy now had an additional Heaven Realm expert. How could they possibly fight back?
Another argument ensued, and amidst the cursing, Shi Zhongtian left, feeling frustrated, with his injured disciple.
.
As night fell, Li Mu's body and strength had recovered to their peak condition.
The night raid plan officially began, luring the enemy out of their hiding place.
Li Mu got up and first set up the formation on a slightly open piece of mountain land that he had selected.
This place is about two kilometers away from Huo Huanyu and his group.
He was going to splurge this time on the same Bagua illusion array.
Three spirit stones were buried in each of the eight directions, and eight were buried directly in the center of the formation.
Once activated, this illusion array can trap those who enter it for about three minutes, and the Heavenly Realm is no exception.
With three minutes, using wooden teeth and the Mourning Nail, we can probably harvest another wave of kills.
Currently, the people left behind by Huo Huanyu are all elites, with two at the Heaven Realm and the rest at the Earth Realm.
It's impossible to solve everything at once.
