Li Mu was almost beaten to a pulp by Feng Xi while he was in the iceberg.
With his dantian damaged, he noticed that the other person's condition also seemed poor.
He had already determined that the opponent's strength was probably at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and definitely not a Foundation Establishment cultivator, otherwise he would have been killed long ago.
This old guy's condition is more like a failed foundation building attempt, with his foundation damaged.
With this assessment, he felt somewhat relieved.
If a cultivator's foundation is damaged, their cultivation level will decrease over time.
He cultivated both immortal and martial arts, and was not afraid of anything below the Foundation Establishment stage. The key was that this old man suddenly launched a sneak attack on him, damaging his dantian in one blow.
Damage to the dantian is more troublesome than damage to the soul last time. The body can no longer store spiritual energy, and without spiritual energy, it cannot support spiritual attacks.
Worse still, their martial arts skills also cannot be fully utilized.
Unable to engage in close combat and unwilling to wait for the opponent to absorb spiritual energy and recover their own, one can only compete with the opponent in attrition and outlasting them.
He took out the three rifles he had casually picked up at Dead Man Mountain. He knew he couldn't kill the opponent with guns; he only wanted to deplete the opponent's spiritual power.
After firing the first magazine, he discovered that using burst fire with a gun consumed more of the opponent's spiritual energy.
The two are now at a stalemate. Whenever the other relaxes his guard, Li Mu fires a shot, forcing Feng Xi to concentrate fully on defense.
Despite Li Mu's constant harassment, Feng Xi wanted to deliver a fatal blow to Li Mu several times, but he knew that Li Mu would not stand still and let him hit him.
If he uses all his spiritual power and still can't kill Li Mu, then he himself will become a lamb to the slaughter.
The two spent the day in this stalemate, with the old man Feng Xi exhausted, while Li Mu became more and more energetic.
Having taken the elixir, Li Mu's internal injuries had recovered. Although his dantian was damaged, the spiritual energy in his body no longer leaked out.
Because Li Mu lacked martial ethics and constantly harassed Feng Xi with bullets, Feng Xi not only failed to receive spiritual energy replenishment but also lost spiritual power.
At this moment, Li Mu on the other side had already taken out his third gun. If Li Mu continued to harass him with guns, he would eventually be worn down and killed.
As things shifted, Feng Xi began to get anxious.
.
"Little one, how about we make a deal?"
When Li Mu heard the other party speak, he didn't reply, and fired another shot.
"Bang!"
Feng Xi casually brushed away the incoming bullet and spoke again.
"Little one, you should know that this little thing can't hurt me at all. Why don't you leave on your own and I won't make things difficult for you anymore?"
"Yeah?"
Li Mu retorted with a question, and then fired another shot.
He knew all along that bullets wouldn't hurt anyone; all he needed to do was deplete the opponent's spiritual energy.
"Bang!"
"Stop, stop, stop! Little kid, I, Feng, have been very rude, alright?"
"I'll tell you a secret, then you can leave. Is that alright?"
When Li Mu heard the other party say that he had a secret to tell him, he temporarily stopped.
“Little kid, I can see you’re also a cultivator, but I have to say that in this world, you can’t establish your foundation.”
After Feng Xi finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu, wondering if the little boy would be disappointed upon hearing the news.
Disappointment can lead to emotional fluctuations, but if you seize this opportunity, you can strike decisively.
"Bang!"
Li Mu thought it was some kind of secret, but this simple, unambiguous remark was no way it could fool him.
"Hey! You little brat, why didn't you hear me? I'm telling the truth, you can't even reach the Foundation Establishment stage here."
After Feng Xi finished speaking, he watched Li Mu raise his gun again and continued:
"Little one, stop for a moment, I'll tell you something else."
Do you know about the Hidden Gate? I'll tell you how to get there, is that alright?
.
Li Mu had heard of the Hidden Sect before; Shi Jian had mentioned it before, but he really didn't know how to get there.
Just as he was about to hear what the old fox was about to say, the old man suddenly started to whet his appetite and fired a shot.
"Bang!"
After Feng Xi swatted the bullet away, he spoke again:
"Hey! Why are you in such a hurry, kid?"
Let me tell you, if you want to go to the Inner Hidden Gate, you must first find the Seven Star Position in the Hengduan Mountains, where there is a teleportation array.
You can be teleported to the inner hidden gate via the teleportation array.
However, I must advise you that, given your current level of cultivation, it is best not to go to the Inner Hidden Sect lightly.
You need to cultivate yourself to at least my level to be qualified to go there; otherwise, going there would just be like offering yourself up as food.
After listening to him, Li Mu seemed to be deep in thought.
Then, seeing the old man frantically absorbing spiritual energy, he raised his hand and fired another shot.
"Bang!"
After firing a shot, Li Mu asked:
"You came from the Inner Hidden Sect?"
"certainly.
That day, I obtained a cultivation technique by chance, which attracted the covetous eyes of many martial artists, so I had to flee.
Unexpectedly, I actually mastered this technique. Forty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I have finally reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage.
Unexpectedly, after preparing to establish my foundation here and return to the Inner Hidden Sect, I ultimately failed and even destroyed my Dao foundation.
Listening to Feng Xi's account, Li Mu felt that what the old man said was probably true, at least it was true that his Dao foundation was destroyed.
.
"Little kid, let's make a deal. I'll use my Primordial Chaos Burning Heaven Technique to exchange for a few healing pills, how about that?"
If that's not enough, you can have this magic shield behind me. I don't have much time left either; I just want to live a few more days in peace."
When Li Mu heard the old man say he wanted to make a deal, he felt a chill and began to be on guard.
A cannibal would never easily make deals with others; there is definitely a calculation involved.
Even without any ulterior motives, Li Mu would never make a deal with him once the old man took the pills he gave him and his injuries improved.
He's the first person we need to kill. Even if he manages to escape, he'll cause a lot of trouble for the world.
"Come here, little one, here's the cultivation technique for you, and this magic shield for you too."
After speaking, Feng Xi tossed a cultivation manual to Li Mu, then reached for the large black plate behind him.
Under Feng Xi's prompting, Li Mu didn't even glance at the martial arts technique; he simply raised his gun and fired.
He was right. Feng Xi's reaching for the magic shield was a ruse; he actually used his spiritual energy to activate it.
As Li Mu's gunshot rang out, the space instantly became pitch black, and divine sense was suppressed to only a few dozen meters.
"boom!"
A burst of energy struck the spot where Li Mu stood in the darkness, shattering the ice wall and causing a large section of the iceberg to collapse.
The darkness in the space vanished in an instant, slowly returning to brightness.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, aimed at Feng Xi from the side. Although Feng Xi deflected the bullet, he felt no joy whatsoever.
He knew his all-out attack had missed, his spiritual energy had been drained, and only death awaited him.
He had planned everything perfectly, but he hadn't expected this young man to be so resilient, managing to dodge his final blow at the last moment.
At this moment, Li Mu was holding a sniper rifle, aiming at Feng Xi, who was already at his last gasp.
"Bang!"
Another bullet flew by, and Feng Xi instinctively turned his head to dodge it, but he was too weak.
Blood splattered as the bullet whistled through the air, turning his ear and flesh into a bloody mess.
Li Mu put away his sniper rifle and casually threw a handful of nails at Feng Xi.
The flying sword struck, and in a flash, it took Feng Xi's head.
In a contest of lifespan, Li Mu is the clear winner against Feng Xi.
