Emperor of the North Chapter 404

Chapter 404 - Crisis Between Life and Death

Once Li Mu was sent flying by Thunderclap's second strike, the Thunderclap's wings flapped once more. His speed had already reached a speed that was difficult to be seen with the naked eye, so no matter how strong Li Mu's consciousness was, it was basically difficult for him to lock onto his opponent.

In a flash of lightning, Lei Zi's figure once again appeared above Li Mu. His right foot stomped down fiercely, landing directly on Li Mu's chest, causing Li Mu, who was originally rising rapidly, to fall to the ground.

"Bam!"

A m.u.f.fled sound followed by the flying of jade fragments, Li Mu's leg was stomped by Lei Zi onto the jade floor of the arena. The impact caused the jade floor to sink a few inches into the ground, and the blood at the corner of Li Mu's mouth kept flowing out.

"Admit defeat!"

As he stepped on Li Mu's body with his right foot, Lei Zi's right foot forcefully twisted, causing the veins on Li Mu's face to bulge out from the pain.

"Hahaha!" "In your dreams!"

Li Mu laughed out loud, then activated his Soul Drop Roar, a surging wave of black gold true essence air wave surged out from his mouth, straight towards the Thunder G.o.d in front of him.

Facing Li Mu's Soul Drop Roar's attack at such a close distance, Lightning didn't dare to underestimate him. He flapped the wings on his back and retreated more than ten meters back.

"Cough …" "Cough …"

After using the Soul Drop Roar to force Lei Zi to leave, Li Mu coughed dryly twice. After that, he placed his hands on the ground and stood up straight.

"You are not my opponent. Give up! If it weren't for the regulations of the sect, I could have taken your life just now! "

After being forced back by Li Mu using the Soul Drop Roar, Ming Zi's body floated in midair. His face still had that cold and arrogant expression, and did not place Li Mu in his eyes at all.

"You just relied on your speed to get the upper hand. What's there to brag about!"

Wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, Li Mu forcefully activated Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations to suppress his injuries. His eyes did not have the slightest intention of retreating, his fighting spirit still soaring.

"In the world of cultivation, there are countless martial skills and abilities. From Star Seizer to Gold Shattering Jade, all of these abilities have flaws. Only speed cannot break them!" Although I relied on my speed to win against you, this is also my ability. Do you want me to show you my strengths and use my weaknesses to fight against you? If that's the case, then just let me admit defeat! " Zhou Lie sneered.

"Very good! Very good! In that case, let's continue! Let me see if your speed is faster, or if I am stronger! "

Li Mu bellowed, following that, the storage ring on his hand lit up, and a scarlet red jade ruler appeared in his hand.

As soon as the scarlet-red jade ruler appeared, it immediately turned into a crimson-colored flame cloud and firmly wrapped Li Mu in it.

The flames churned, and in the end, it became a red transparent barrier of light, causing Li Mu to be trapped inside. This jade ruler was the most powerful defensive treasure in Li Mu's hand, the Eight Desolations Fire Spirit Ruler!

"It's this treasure!" This time, Brother Li should be able to remain undefeated, this Eight Desolations Fire Spirit Ruler is a True King level divine weapon, with the protection of the light barrier it created, normal attack techniques would not even be able to harm it! "

Looking at Li Mu taking out the Eight Desolations Fire Spirit Ruler, Luo Jie muttered to himself below the stage. Others might not know the origin of the Eight Desolations Fire Spirit Ruler, but he was extremely clear on it.

"Humph!" Do you think you can stop me with just a Soul Treasure? I want to see how you will lose! "

A moment later, a burst of thunder and lightning roars suddenly sounded out from behind Li Mu's body. Not knowing when, Lei Zi had actually appeared behind Li Mu's body, his right hand formed a fist, and smashed onto the light shield that Li Mu had turned into, causing the entire scarlet colored light shield to shake violently, but it did not shatter.

However, because of his arrogance, he was naturally not willing to just let it go. His speed was exceptionally fast, as he turned into many afterimages, and continued to attack various parts of the Scarlet light shield.

Aside from borrowing the pair of fine iron wing behind him, he had not used any other spirit treasures. Every time he attacked, he would rely on his fists, and although the power of his fists had not reached the point of breaking through the scarlet light shield, they made Li Mu, who was activating the light barrier, extremely pa.s.sive.

The reason why Li Mu was pa.s.sive was because even though the Eight Desolations Fire Spirit Ruler's defensive power was strong enough, it consumed a lot of True Essence. Even though Li Mu cultivated a Heaven Ranked technique, after enduring for a long time, he was almost unable to endure it.

"Golden Geng Sword Qi!"

After a series of consecutive attacks that had failed to break Li Mu's scarlet-colored light shield outside his body a dozen times, it seemed as if Lightning had already lost all patience. The sharp golden aura within his body soared into the skies, finally transforming into a resplendent golden colored sword aura in front of him.

This golden colored sword Qi was over ten meters long, and it was emitting a terrifying sharp aura. It was the Golden Geng Sword Qi that had already been transformed from a martial skill into a sacred art …

"Golden Geng Sword Qi! It can even be used this way! "

Looking at the golden colored Sword Qi in front of Lei Zi, a bad feeling suddenly emerged in Li Mu's heart. The Golden Geng Sword Qi was mainly sharp, and even though Li Mu had trained in it himself, he only managed to comprehend a little of the golden colored Sword Qi, and although he was only able to comprehend a little, Li Mu still had some understanding of the characteristics of the technique.

In order to produce great destructive power and attack power, the Golden Geng Sword Qi technique needed to be activated and nurtured within the body for a long period of time. If it was simply using invisible sword qi to fight the enemy, the power would not be so strong, but its sharpness was unparalleled.

"Golden Geng Sword Qi, Sharp Golden Shattering!"

As the golden sword aura formed in front of him, Lei Zi's right hand constantly pointed out, one finger after another, as streams of gigantic golden sword beams produced sword hums in front of him. With a loud roar, the dozen or so gigantic golden sword beams in front of him pierced through the air, all of them concentrating to attack Li Mu on the scarlet light shield outside of his body.

"Boom!"

Under the attacks of over a dozen of golden light sword Qis, the seemingly invincible scarlet light shield outside of Li Mu's body was finally pierced through with a huge hole under the attacks of over a dozen of sword Qis, and following after a burst of explosive sounds of spirit energy, the entire scarlet light shield was smashed apart.

"Whoosh!"

Following the shattering of the scarlet-red light shield, a beam of golden colored sword aura shot onto Li Mu's chest without any obstructions, and a strong impact landed on Li Mu's chest, causing him to be blown away. Li Mu felt that half of his body had become numb, if not for the fact that his body was strong and his chest was protected by the heliogram fragment, this attack alone would have been fatal.

"Mu Xiaozi, the enemy is preparing to kill you! Don't hold back anymore, fight it out with him! "

As Li Mu was sent flying by the golden sword aura, Luan Tian, who was inside the heliogram fragment, could naturally feel it. He was very clear that if not for the defense of the heliogram fragment on Li Mu's chest, just from that sword strike alone, Li Mu's heart veins would have definitely been shattered and he died.

"Seems like the body-tempering method that you're cultivating in is not low either, they are at least Earth Level High Rank. To be able to use the power of the flesh to attack my Golden Geng Sword Qi, it is considered your luck, but now that you have broken through the defense of the Spirit Treasure that you were so proud of, and you are in such a state yourself, how can you still fight against me!"

Although he did not manage to deal fatal damage to Li Mu with a single strike, he had broken Li Mu's defensive light barrier with a single strike. Lei Zi flew to the top of Li Mu's head and said while looking down at him.

"Let me give you a taste of this!"

Li Mu stabilized himself, and the Light of Spiritual Consciousness formed into a ray of Stunning Needle between his eyebrows. Taking the chance that Lei Zi was not prepared, he directly shot towards the center of his opponent's eyebrows, and was actually forced to use the killer move, Stunning Needle.

Initially, he did not want to use the Stunning Needle in this battle because once the Stunning Needle hit his opponent, they would either be crippled or dead. But right now, Li Mu had no other choice but to use this martial skill that he did not want to use, in reality, all he had to do was to do this and the move he had used to kill Li Mu earlier, if not for the protection of the heliogram fragment, that attack by Zhou Lie would have taken Li Mu's life.

Following the shooting of Li Mu's Stunning Needle, the Thunder Child seemed to have sensed something, the power of thunder and lightning behind him gathered together and with a flap of its wings, it directly disappeared from its original location.

As soon as the Thunder Child's figure disappeared, the Stunning Needle that Li Mu released just happened to arrive at the place the other party was originally at. However, it was a step too late and missed him.

"How is this possible!?" Its speed is actually faster than my Spiritual Awareness! "

The first failure of the Stunning Needle caused a myriad of waves to rise in Li Mu's heart. It was not that he had never been able to use the Stunning Needle to defeat an enemy before, but this was the first time he had encountered someone who could directly dodge the attack.

"I know that you know a Spiritual Sense attack type martial skill! That's why I've been on my guard against you. Unfortunately, you won't have the chance! "

Just as Li Mu's attack failed, Lei Zi's cold voice suddenly came from behind him. Hearing that, Li Mu's hair stood on end, he anxiously turned his head to look, but what came towards Li Mu was a fist filled with the power of lightning.

"Bam!"

With a dull thud, Lei Zi's fist landed on Li Mu's forehead. Li Mu felt dizzy and blood started to flow out of his seven orifices. Like a kite with its string cut, he flew across the stage for fifty to sixty meters before falling onto the ground stiffly.

"Brother Li!"

"Mu Xiaozi!"

"Young master!"

The moment Li Mu landed, he heard all kinds of shouts, but his senses were slowly fading, as though he could faint to death at any moment.

"Master!" "I don't want you to lose, because you will always be the strongest in my heart. For this, I am willing to pay any price …"

"You're indeed very strong, but the distance between us is still far. I can give you three moves …"

"Wuu … wuu …" Young master! I was also forced into a corner! If you don't come back, I won't be able to live! "

"Brother Li, we have bet thirty thousand crystal, we have bet everything we have! Come on!"

"Mu Xiaozi, you must be thinking of making a name for yourself by battling with the Lightning Child. As long as your status and prestige in the sect reaches a certain level, you can use the Gold Jade Sect's power to fight against the Heartless Palace …"
