Emperor of the North Chapter 67

Chapter 67 - Survival by Death

"Boom!"

Li Mu was like a nimble ape, constantly swaying and dodging in the dense forest, and one after another lightning strikes struck nothing in the air, causing many of the trees and gra.s.ses in the dense forest to be affected by the attacks.

The power of the black lightning was extremely strong, comparable to when a Divine Abilities Realm Experts used her sacred art. With a single strike, he caused a large amount of trees to collapse.

"Hu!"

The sound of the wind whistling through the air resounded in Li Mu's ears. The black viper with single horn swept its huge tail horizontally, and its aura was strong enough to overturn mountains and overturn the seas, sweeping away a large portion of the mountain and earth.

Li Mu's body was like lightning, constantly jumping and dodging in the forest, although the opponent's attack was powerful, but it was obviously unable to do anything to him. Because the black viper with single horn's body was too big, although its speed was not slow, but Li Mu had a lot of gaps, so he could always dodge.

"Luan Tian, this isn't a good idea. This fellow is chasing us too fast, we can't even shake him off. Do you have any ideas?"

While concentrating on avoiding the black viper with single horn behind him, Li Mu asked Luan Tian for help.

"That's easy. How many Escape Symbol do you have? Just run underground. This black viper with single horn is too big, it can't do anything to you!"

Luan Tian replied with an indifferent tone.

"Escape Symbol! If I had known earlier, I would have used it from the start. Then, I don't need to be afraid of Chu Jiao anymore! "

Li Mu facepalmed himself, and said with a sudden realization.

"You're too naive, Chu Jiao that fellow, with his extremely strong spiritual consciousness, even if you went underground, he might still find you, as for this black viper with single horn, its brain is simple and its four limbs are well-developed, no, it doesn't even have four limbs, although it's not weak even as a level four Spiritual Sense Power, but it's very difficult to escape into the ground to chase after you!" Luan Tian explained.

Li Mu smacked his lips. Then, he took out a piece of the Escape Symbol that had been given to him by Chu Yu.

The Escape Symbol was completely yellow in color, and dense earth spirit energy was flowing on it. Li Mu was about to activate the Dao talisman in his hand, but right then, a fatal sense of danger suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Be careful!" An urgent voice resounded.

Li Mu turned his head to look, only to see the black viper with single horn that he had always been dealing with with with with ease. He did not know if it was because it was angry because he had been following his nose all this time, but the electric light on the horn above his head suddenly exploded, forming a black electric net that was rushing towards his head.

The black electric net was about twenty meters wide and had a huge radius. As Li Mu was in the center of it, he had no time to dodge at all.

"d.a.m.n, since when did this beast have this kind of sacred art? I've never seen it being used before!"

Seeing that the electric net above his head was falling down on him, Li Mu cursed. He did not have time to activate the Dao talisman in his hand, and had no choice but to activate his Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations to defend himself.

"Third form of the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations, Demonshine Condensation Armor!"

Li Mu bellowed, and a layer of dark gold scales appeared on his body. The dark gold scales were not solid, but under the effect of Li Mu's dense True Essence, they seemed to be extremely close to the solid body.

In just a short moment, Li Mu's entire body was covered in dark golden scales, making him look like a demon G.o.d.

"Bam!"

Under the black electric net, Li Mu was wrapped up like dumplings in the middle. Black electric arcs danced ferociously, wrapping Li Mu and letting out crackling sounds.

Li Mu cried out in pain, the dark golden scales on his body were hacked into pieces, and there were multiple wounds on his body where blood flowed out.

"AHH!" "Break for me!"

Li Mu roared, the pain from his body had penetrated deep into his bones, his claws shone with a dazzling gold light, aimed straight at the black lightning web that was already dimmed to half, directly ripping a hole, following that, river crossing step flashed and rushed out.

"Phew!" "Pah!"

The moment Li Mu rushed out of the encirclement of the black electric net, a whistling sound immediately followed. He hurriedly turned around, only to see a black python's tail sweeping towards him.

"Pfft!"

Slap by the black python's tail, Li Mu was sent flying with his body bent down. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Li Mu could clearly feel that seven or eight of his ribs had been broken, and the pain coming from his body almost made him faint.

Falling to the ground, Li Mu spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. He wanted to stand up, but discovered that he was completely unable to use his strength.

"Hiss!"

The black viper with single horn spat out its tongue, and like a black ghost, it arrived in front of Li Mu.

Its huge eyes flickered with a pleased look. The anger that was stirred up by Li Mu earlier was finally vented out of its mouth.

Looking at Li Mu who was lying on the ground and struggling to stay alive, the black viper with single horn opened its mouth full of fangs, and bit down at Li Mu.

Li Mu's mind shook, the shadow of death shrouded over his heart, he did not have much time to think, the remaining True Essence in his body desperately poured into the Escape Symbol in his hands.

Li Mu was betting his life on the Escape Symbol in his hands, betting on the fact that he might still be able to escape with his life.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Seeing the Escape Symbol in his hand flickering with an increasingly bright yellow Huaguang, Li Mu was extremely anxious, because he saw that the black viper with single horn's b.l.o.o.d.y mouth was already less than two metres away from him, and he could even smell the vomit-inducing stench of blood from its mouth.

Two meters, one meter, half a meter. Li Mu's heart was in his throat, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat, and he even forgot about the pain in his body.

Seeing that the black viper with single horn was about to bite down, Li Mu even thought of suicide. But in that moment of life and death, the heliogram fragment on Li Mu's chest suddenly heated up, and from inside rushed out a bright gray light that directly struck the black viper with single horn's head.

"Bam!"

A dull sound came out. The black viper with single horn was struck by the grey light and its huge body was sent flying. Its horn broke and its body arched in mid-air. It flew for a good twenty meters before falling to the ground.

"Roar!"

With its horn broken, the black viper with single horn let out a tragic roar. The aura on its body quickly declined, and from the realm of a level four demon beast, it directly fell to level three, continuing to decline rapidly.

"Hurry up and activate the Escape Symbol!"

Luan Tian's voice came out from the heliogram fragment and his voice was filled with anxiety.

"I've already tried my best, but the true essence in my body is severely blocked. My circulation has reached its limit!"

Li Mu knew that Hunchback Tian had helped him at a critical moment, and he knew that the situation was urgent. However, he had no choice, and the Escape Symbol in his hands had yet to be fully activated.

"That Chu brat has already caught up. If you don't hurry up, you're dead for sure!"

He sounded even more anxious than Li Mu.

"What!?" "So fast!"

Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief. After using all of his strength, the Escape Symbol in his hand released a bright yellow light, which then wrapped around his body and disappeared from the ground.

Not long after Li Mu disappeared, a flame flashed at the edge of the horizon and Chu Jiao's figure appeared in midair.

Looking at the black viper with single horn that was still rolling and roaring on the ground, Chu Jiao's face sank. He spread out his own spirit sense, but what made him furious was that within the range of his spirit sense, he did not find any traces of Li Mu and Young Master Yun.

"Trash!" A dignified rank 4 beast, not only were it unable to catch two Houtian realm juniors, but it was also able to break the horn of its power source, causing it to fall from rank 4 to rank 3.

Chu Jiao released all of his Qi onto the black viper with single horn, he used his Spiritual Sense and all of the scarlet gold fire rings around the black viper with single horn's neck suddenly flared up, causing the black viper with single horn's entire body to release surging flames.

The blazing black viper with single horn rolled and roared in the fire, and in a short while, it turned into a dead snake that had a burnt stench.

Chu Jiao pointed at the pure gold fire ring on the black viper with single horn's body, and the scarlet golden fire ring turned into a ray of red light and entered his mouth.

The night sky was exceptionally bright. In a patch of gra.s.s in Chu, a human head emerged from the earth.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" I was almost suffocated to death! "

A head came out of the weeds, panting and mumbling to itself.

"Kid, you are really unlucky. It's your first time using a Escape Symbol, but you actually ended up like this. You don't even know that there's a time limit for the Escape Symbol!"

The head that suddenly came out from the soil was naturally Li Mu, and Li Mu had to carry it all on his back. After using the Escape Symbol to hide on the ground, in order to avoid Chu Jiao's search, he ran in a different direction with all his might, and in the blink of an eye, he was already more than 10 miles away.

In the end, for safety's sake, Li Mu dove more than a hundred meters into the ground. This idea was indeed correct, but the mistake was that Li Mu did not use any Escape Symbol s or such talismans.

Li Mu didn't know that Escape Symbol had a time limit. The moment the energy inside the Escape Symbol was exhausted, it would have to return to the surface immediately, otherwise, it would be buried alive underground.

If not for the timely reminder, before the Escape Symbol's last bit of power was depleted, Li Mu would have been buried alive underground. But even so, he still left his body from head to toe in the mud.

"Fortunately, I've come out. If I had died underground, I would have entered h.e.l.l. I wouldn't have been willing to die!" Li Mu, who managed to escape with his life, heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, you're only half right. You only escaped by a head. Don't forget that your lower body is still buried underground. Maybe after a few years, you will bear fruit and grow a few of you."

He seemed to be in a very good mood after getting out of danger.

"Ah …" "I can't even use a little bit of strength right now, and I don't even have the ability to come out. What should we do now? It's not likely that we'll meet people in this kind of place, but it's very likely that we'll encounter one or two tigers and panthers!"

Li Mu laughed miserably, rolling his eyes at the teasing.

"Hurry and circulate the Great Brahma Art to repair your body. Also, consume two Hundred Snake Pills. This will help you recover from your injuries." Luan Tian suggested.

"I would like to take the Hundred Snake Pill, but the problem is that I can't move my hands and feet, how will I take out the Hundred Snake Pill …"
