When Li Mu entered the Heavenly Thunder Sect, two old men were sitting in the sect's main hall.
These two people are Wu Daozi, the patriarch of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, and Xiang Tianhong, the president of the Martial Arts Association.
Xiang Tianhong came to the Thunder God Sect to deliver a message; he has always been on good terms with Wu Daozi.
After seeing Li Mu's message on the Martial Arts Mountain Monument, he rushed to the Thunder God Sect without stopping.
When Xiang Tianhong came to visit, Wu Daozi naturally had to come out and receive him.
Upon hearing that Li Mu was alive and might come to the Thunder God Sect seeking revenge, Wu Daozi laughed heartily, completely unconcerned.
The contempt was quite obvious. Huo Huanyu had forced Li Mu to jump off a cliff back then, so how could Wu Daozi not be able to keep this person?
A group of younger people were chatting, exchanging witty remarks, and joking around with the two in the main hall.
Unexpectedly, Li Muzhen arrived and immediately broke the mountain-protecting formation. Huo Huanyu and the others immediately went out to greet him.
At this moment, watching their disciples face the enemy, the two remained calmly seated, discussing the Dao, completely disregarding Li Mu.
.
Seeing Huo Huanyu and Lin Sen walking towards him, Li Mu also walked over to them.
The two sides stood about ten meters apart, and then Lin Sen led the people behind him around to Li Mu's back.
The people around Huo Huanyu also spread out in unison, surrounding Li Mutuan in the middle.
More than a hundred disciples in the square also gathered around in an orderly fashion, afraid of letting Li Mu go.
Li Mu knew perfectly well what was going on and didn't care at all.
The current Li Mu is no longer the Li Mu who was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
He had the courage to fight Huo Huanyu back then, let alone now that he has cultivated to the late stage of Qi Refining, his strength surpassing the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Even if the two people in the hall came together, he was confident he could fight them.
As for the people in front of him, he really didn't take them seriously.
He really wanted to say, "Everyone here is trash."
.
"Li Mu, do you think my Heavenly Thunder Sect is a vegetable garden?"
I acted rashly; though I failed to kill you with my own hands that day, today will be your death day.
"I will ask you one last time, where is my son, Huo Zheng?"
Huo Huanyu's half-good face contorted into a ferocious expression, his eyes filled with malice. He raised his injured right hand and pointed at Li Mu, saying...
Li Mu looked at Huo Huanyu expressionlessly; this man was indeed a talent.
He clearly wanted to know whether his son was alive or dead, but he insisted on bringing up the sect first.
“I came to the Thunder God Sect to kill people. As for your son, I killed him long ago. Moreover, I wiped out the Huo family in Yunnan Province yesterday.”
"What? You've been to the Huo family? I'm going to kill you."
Enraged, Huo Huanyu took out a pair of long spikes with chains from his storage bag, clashed his hands together, and attacked Li Mu.
These long vertebrae have two basketball-sized metal balls at the front end, engraved with intricate patterns, and look very heavy, at least a hundred pounds.
With a thought, Li Muxin sent his flying sword straight at the other martial artists, then took out his wooden tooth and transformed it into a longsword.
After the long hammers in Huo Huanyu's hands clashed, a dull "clang" was heard.
Li Mu's soul trembled, as if struck by lightning, his mind reeling. It turned out that the pair of long spikes were actually an offensive spiritual weapon.
Fortunately, Huo Huanyu could only use his true qi to control the spine, and could not unleash the power of the long spine.
Moreover, when he used the long spine, he looked quite clumsy, and his movements were somewhat sluggish.
.
As the twin spiky swords attacked, Li Muteng rose to his feet and swung his wooden fang down at Huo Huanyu.
"Clang!"
Huo Huanyu used his left hand to parry Li Mu's wooden sword, and then used his right hand to strike Li Mu's waist.
Li Mu didn't even glance at the long spike Huo Huanyu was throwing; he simply grabbed the wooden fang and swept it behind him.
Seeing that Li Mu was disregarding her right vertebrae, Huo Huanyu was overjoyed, thinking he could strike hard and seriously injure Li Mu.
"Whoosh!"
The flying sword ripped off his head, sending a cloud of blood billowing into the sky.
"Ah! Ah!"
Li Mu swept out with his wooden fang, instantly cutting the two martial artists behind him in half at the waist.
After killing the two men, he retreated to Huo Huanyu's side and put away a pair of long spears and a storage bag. Spiritual artifacts are rare and hard to come by.
Then, wielding the wooden tooth and using his flying sword, he swiftly killed the other high-level martial artists.
"Pfft! Pfft!..."
With a single iron nail driven in, more than a dozen disciples who had surrounded the area were instantly pierced through the forehead.
.
By the time Wu Daozi realized something was wrong, Li Mu had already killed forty or fifty disciples with iron nails.
When he rushed to the square, Li Mu used iron nails to take ten more lives.
"stop!"
Wu Daozi called out before he even arrived.
Li Mu didn't care what he called him. Why didn't he call out when Huo Huanyu attacked him before? He only called out now that he was hurt.
With another hammer blow, more than a dozen Heavenly Thunder Sect disciples fell to the ground.
"You little beast, you're asking for it!"
Wu Daozi's eyes widened in fury. How could someone dare to disregard him like this? He leaped forward and threw a punch at Li Mu.
This punch was infused with his full inner energy, and it was incredibly powerful. He believed that even if Li Mu wasn't killed, he would be crippled.
Li Mu knew this punch was incredibly powerful, but so what? He threw the same punch in return.
This punch is the strongest move of the Void Fist - Flame Wave, with spiritual fire condensed from spiritual energy attached to the fist.
"Bang!"
Sparks flew as the two fists collided, producing a tremendous sound as true energy and spiritual energy clashed, fist against fist.
The two separated immediately upon contact, each being thrown back four or five meters by the blast wave.
.
Wu Daozi was surprised that Li Mu dared to exchange punches with him, and that they fought to a standstill.
Even more surprisingly, when he pulled his fist back, it was covered in a ball of fire.
Is this gathering qi and condensing fire? This kid actually has such profound internal strength?
These two questions shocked him deeply, but this was not the time to think about them; he needed to put out the fire.
He wrapped his left hand around his right, but was unable to extinguish the attached fireball. Then he exhaled a large breath of true energy into his right hand.
He finally managed to extinguish the fireball in his hand, but the back of his right hand was burned so badly that the finger bones were exposed and blackened by smoke.
Li Mu was also badly hurt; taking that punch shattered all the bones in his right hand.
His body was also shaken, causing his blood and qi to churn, and there was a pool of blood in his chest. If he hadn't been holding it in, he would have vomited blood.
Fortunately, he had the Rejuvenation Pill to treat his internal injuries, and spiritual energy to repair the injury to his right hand.
Xiang Tianhong followed Wu Daozi closely and witnessed the two exchanging blows.
She knew Wu Daozi's strength. She thought Li Mu would be killed by this punch, but she didn't expect the two to fight to a draw.
He had tried his best to overestimate Li Mu, but now he realized he had underestimated him.
Could it be that Li Mu was playing dumb at the martial arts tournament?
How can this kid be so patient?
Did he deliberately get knocked off a cliff so he could come back and settle scores?
This doesn't make any sense at all.
.
"Fellow Daoists, please calm down and listen to what this old Daoist has to say."
Suppressing his doubts, Xiang Tianhong acted as a peacemaker.
"And who are you? Do you also want to fight me, Li Mu?"
Li Mu shook his right hand and asked in return.
As soon as Xiang Tianhong spoke, Li Mu was pretty sure that this person was the president of the Martial Arts Association.
Judging by the voice, this was the same big shot who stopped the fighting with a single sentence that day.
However, this person is too damn opportunistic. Why did he have to offer advice now of all times?
Moreover, Xiang Tianhong definitely has no good intentions; he must have come here to deliver a message.
"Uh... I am Xiang Tianhong from the Martial Arts Association. Fellow Daoist Li Mu, please give me some face, put aside your animosity, and let's talk things out!"
When Xiang Tianhong heard Li Mu's question, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that Li Mu was definitely doing it on purpose.
If I hadn't witnessed Li Mu's strength, I would have slapped him long ago. How could the little guy be so disrespectful to his elders?
Since I've stepped in to act as a peacemaker, I should listen to the grievances I've been wronged about.
But Li Mu's next words left him speechless and red-faced.
"Do you think you have a big face? I, Li Mu, will give you face."
Li Mu had absolutely no liking for Xiang Tianhong, this pretentious person who took sides, acted like a superior, and tried to save face.
After taking the Rejuvenation Pill, his internal injuries healed, his right hand recovered, and his body was full of spiritual energy.
If Xiang Tianhong keeps nagging, he wouldn't mind fighting him too.
Respect is earned through one's own abilities, not given by others.
Only by winning the fight can you save face.
