Chapter 2: He Once Reigned Over the World
Yilong Mountain is filled with lush green forests, and the chirping of cicadas relieves the summer heat.
The people from the One-Eyed Dragon and Master Lan's groups heard Li Wudao's exclamation keenly, and immediately stopped fighting, glaring at him.
The Wuyun Grass resembled a clover, with only nine branches and a total of twenty-seven emerald green leaves. It stood no more than two inches tall, yet in Li Wudao's eyes, it shone brightly. So tall and unusual!
In this area, the only sound that could be heard was Li Wudao's heavy breathing, like the howling of a wild wolf, and he stared greedily at the Wuyun grass in front of the old tree.
"Let's go up and take a look!" Young Master Lan, a handsome man, waved his folding fan like a noble young man in troubled times, and said with extraordinary demeanor.
He knew there was someone behind the old tree, but he was so advanced in cultivation that he was not afraid. After all, with his cultivation and keen senses, he did not detect any danger.
"What's behind the tree? If you're not dead, hand over the Wuyun Grass! Some things are not so easy to get!" The one-eyed dragon spoke with contempt. He also noticed something and did not feel the breath of a warrior at all.
From this, we can conclude that behind the old tree are just mortals. Mortals are useless and weak!
Hearing the footsteps of two groups approaching, they were unbridled and unbridled. Hearing the one-eyed dragon's disdainful words, Li Wudao's skinny body trembled slightly. Being disdained made him feel humbled to the dust.
If he took the Martial Fortune Grass, they would definitely not let him go. Even if he didn't take the Martial Fortune Grass, they would know that they were in possession of such a treasure as the Martial Fortune Grass. If the news leaked, it might be a dead end.
There were dead ends on both sides. Li Wudao regretted being too greedy and naive. He made up his mind, clenched his fists and made a major decision.
The skinny Li Wudao took a step forward, picked up the Wuyun grass on the ground, and ran down the mountain!
"Interesting, interesting!" Master Lan's eyes were sharp, he was waving his folding fan in amazement, a faint smile appeared at the corners of his handsome mouth.
"Hmph! Just a piece of trash. Xiao Wuzi, go and capture him!" The one-eyed dragon looked at Li Wudao who was running for his life and said casually.
The bamboo basket on Li Wudao's back shook. He looked back as he ran, his anger flaring up, his teeth grinding. He saw Xiao Wuzi, who had stepped out from the crowd upon hearing this, turn out to be just a horse-leading servant!
Neither side had any intention of chasing after him. Young Master Lan and One-Eyed Dragon actually discussed how to distribute the Wuyun Grass, ignoring Li Wudao as if the Wuyun Grass had already been in their pockets!
"Boy, you dare to run! Give me your life!" Xiao Wuzi shouted loudly, and chased after him at an extremely fast speed.
Among the two groups, Xiao Wuzi was just a horse servant, but in Li Wudao's eyes, he was also a powerful warrior.
Hearing the shouts of killing getting closer and closer, Li Wudao felt a chill on the back of his head. It was a fear of being on the verge of death, and his heart was about to jump out.
Xiao Wuzi was a warrior. Although his cultivation was not high, his physical strength was already three times that of an ordinary person. Even though Li Wudao had run a little earlier, he caught up in a very short time.
Hearing the palm wind whistling behind his ears, Li Wudao's hair stood on end. If he was hit by it, he would probably break several ribs in an instant!
"You useless thing, die!" Xiao Wuzi was an insignificant existence on the side of the One-Eyed Dragon. Now he was shouting for Li Wudao to kill, which made him feel heroic and in high spirits.
His palm strike was so powerful and forceful that it was about to kill Li Wudao with one blow!
"What!" Li Wudao heard the enemy's roar and looked back.
The big hand was very close to Li Wudao's cheek. With a quick glance, he could even see the lines on Xiao Wuzi's hand.
"Puff!" Li Wudao tripped when he turned around, and was hit by Xiao Wuzi's palm, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
Li Wudao could clearly feel that his internal organs had been injured, and his chest was in a sharp pain. The only thing he was thankful for was that his ribs were not broken.
This was due to the fact that Li Wudao tripped himself, causing his body to fall, and half of his palm power was lost.
Even so, the immense pain made Li Wudao feel like dying!
Plop...
Li Wudao fell into the pool, a move he had planned from the beginning. The water in the pool splashed, and in an instant, Li Wudao disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it!" Xiao Wuzi cursed angrily when he saw Li Wudao disappear.
"What are you still standing there for? Go into the water and give chase!" At some point, the two groups of people led by One-Eyed Dragon and Young Master Lan had already come leisurely.
Compared with the panting Xiao Wuzi, they were calm and composed, showing their profound cultivation.
The one-eyed dragon gave orders and Xiao Wuzi fell into the water. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, there was no trace of Li Wudao.
Finally, Master Lan spoke up and decided to sit back and wait. Both sides stationed their troops by the pool, waiting for Li Wudao to fall into their trap.
This made Xiao Wuzi furious. As a martial artist, he had thought that it would be easy to capture Li Wudao, but he didn't expect that he would be allowed to escape!
Li Wudao was very familiar with the Yilongshan pool. He had accidentally fallen into the water years earlier and discovered a hidden cave entrance in the pool. He followed the entrance upstream, gradually swimming to the top of Yilongshan, where he found a dry cave about a meter tall.
At this moment, Li Wudao was in the dry cave, rubbing his wound with one hand and pinching Wuyun grass with the other.
The dry cave was far from land, with thin oxygen and dark light, which made Li Wudao feel oppressive. However, the situation was critical at the moment, so he could not care less.
In the darkness, Li Wudao took the Wuyun Grass that he had risked his life to obtain with great anticipation.
A faint bitter taste circulates in the mouth, and in a moment it turns into sweetness, giving a sense of sweetness after bitterness.
Perhaps it was because of the thin air or the effect of the Wuyun Grass, but Li Wudao's eyes gradually became blurred.
It was a mountain he had never seen before, but was extremely familiar to him. It was shrouded in clouds and mist like a fairyland on earth, and a five-pointed star was shining mysteriously above the top of the mountain.
A man sits on a green ox, and all the spirits in heaven and earth bow down to him in worship. He has an air of dominating the world, like the master of heaven and earth.
When he saw the man’s true face, Li Wudao was even more shocked!
His sword-like brows were like swords in the sky, his eyes were as deep as a surging river, his high nose bridge carried an air of ethereal grace, and the confident smile on his lips seemed unfazed by the earth's crumbling. Those sharp-edged cheeks struck Li Wudao as both unfamiliar and yet incredibly familiar.
He is an absolutely powerful person, enjoying the worship of all spirits!
I don’t know if it was because he felt Li Wudao’s gaze, but the man’s sharp eyes swept over and he actually smiled at Li Wudao kindly.
This is my previous life!
For some reason, Li Wudao had such a terrifying thought in his mind.
He was just a hawker, a worthless person who couldn't cultivate. But in his previous life, he was a man who sat on the back of a blue ox, at the top of the sky!
As the man smiled, the sky shattered, mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and water flowed backwards. A mysterious and powerful force surged in the world, and great changes occurred.
Countless powerful beings howled like ghosts and wolves, kneeling down and begging for mercy in front of the man, and the shattered debris of the galaxy scattered into the void.
And all this is just the power of a man's smile!
This scene made Li Wudao's heart skip a beat, and he roared in his heart: I once ruled the world.
