Chapter 987 Two Treasures
“Why did you do that?”
Liuyun Wuxin said angrily, “You are the patriarch of the Liuyun family, so you can decide everything. Even if you want all the resources of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, you can enjoy them. Why did you kill your loyal relatives?”
Liuyun Wufeng said indifferently, “Loyal? Do you know how many of them were spies of the other sects? How many of them wanted me to die early so that they could divide up the interests and power of the family? Don’t you understand? The Liuyun family is over. Our ancestor is dead, and the mineral resources are gone. Even if the family gets the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, how long can it survive? With so many people knowing it, it couldn’t be kept a secret. Once the news spread out, even the treasures of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless couldn’t be kept. It was better for them to sacrifice themselves for the family. When I succeed in the Cultivation Method of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless and become an emperor, the bloodline of the family will continue. Isn’t it a good idea?”
“Nonsense! You betrayed them,” Liuyun Wuxin rebuked angrily.
“Have I betrayed them? As a patriarch, how could I betray our family? Are you kidding me? How can a vulgar person like you understand my painstaking efforts for the revival of the family?” Liuyun Wufeng said, “If you care about the family, why don’t you cooperate with me now and take responsibility for the source of the disaster in the mine hole to protect me? When I restore the family, I will put your memorial tablet in the ancestral temple of my Imperial Palace.”
“Don’t even think about it,” Liuyun Wuxin said. “Today, I will kill you to avenge my relatives who were killed by you.”
“Oh. You have made the wrong choice,” Liuyun Wufeng said. “But it doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to die, I’ll kill you. Anyway, it’s the same.”
“Kill!” A dark black flame burst out from Liuyun Wuxin. He approached like a flowing light and took the initiative to attack.
“You are like an ant trying to shake a big tree.”
Liuyun Wufeng punched out.
Boom!
Liuyun Wuxin was directly blown away. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He flew backward for dozens of meters and hit a square stone pillar heavily.
“Now, do you understand the gap between you and me?” Liuyun Wufeng slowly approached with a faint smile.
Liuyun Wuxin roared and activated the Darkest Soul-devouring Fire to attack again.
But the gap between them was indeed too big.
Boom!
He was sent flying again. The bones in his right arm were almost shattered, his chest caved in, and blood gushed out without stopping.
“No, you shouldn’t be so strong, even if you have merged with three Darkest Soul-devouring Fires,” Liuyun Wufeng struggled to stand up and suddenly thought of something. He said, “You lied to me. It’s not easy to merge with the Darkest Soul-devouring Fires. In such a short time, you can merge with two at most.”
“Ha… Have you found it?” Liuyun Wufeng said, “You’re right. Actually, I’ve only merged one Darkest Soul-devouring Fire. But so what? In the Mystery Deployment, I’m invincible. You still have to die in my hands. After you die, I’ll deal with those idiots from the Holy Lands. I’ll have much time to merge with the other two.”
Liuyun Wuxin said, “If you want to kill me, you’ll have to pay the price.”
He frantically activated the strength in his body, ready to fight to the death.
Liuyun Wufeng laughed loudly. “Do you still want to fight after being trapped? Ha… I…”
Before he could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed. He cursed in a low voice, “This useless trash!”
Rumble!
The sound of battle could be heard from afar.
At this time, Liuyun Wuxin felt that Liuyun Wufeng’s aura suddenly weakened a little.
A portion of the power of the tactical deployment had been removed.
“Kill!” The opportunity could not be missed. Liuyun Wuxin attacked again.
Liuyun Wufeng’s expression changed several times. He punched again and sent Liuyun Wuxin flying. When he was about to kill him, he saw that Liuyun Wuxin had followed the counterforce and fled toward the maze in a flash.
Liuyun Wufeng hadn’t expected this at all.
Rumble!
The tactical deployment vibrated again.
Liuyun Wufeng’s expression changed several times. In the end, he said bitterly, “This trash can’t finish anything. Well, I’ll deal with Li Mu first. Now that he has known the truth, I can’t let him live.”
He gave up chasing after Liuyun Wuxin and rushed toward the depths of the tactical deployment.
“How could this be?”
Yan Yalun lowered his head to look at the wound on his chest in disbelief.
It was a huge crack that almost split his body in half. His sternum was broken, and even his broken internal organs could be seen.
The power of the tactical deployment’s black shield was broken.
On the opposite side, Li Mu came with his broadsword.
“It seems that your new reliance is just so-so. Although your strength is strong, it’s a pity you can’t master and use it skillfully. You’re like a child holding a sharp knife. After all, you’re a good-for-nothing. Compared with your brother, you’re too far behind.”
Li Mu drew his broadsword again.
The Cloud Piercing Six!
Li Mu turned the stab into a cut. The broadsword light broke through layers of the blast, and the snow-white light flowed, sweeping away with unparalleled Broadsword Intent and killing intent.
“Ah…” The black flame shield around Yan Yalun’s body was broken through again. The Broadsword Qi invaded his body, and his body was about to split apart. His psyche turned around and fled.
How could Li Mu let him off?
Just as he was about to chase the other party, a flowing light figure instantly arrived from the darkness, and a flaming fist light rumbled over.
“Li Mu, go to hell!”
It was Liuyun Wufeng.
Li Mu blocked him with the broadsword.
Boom!
The long broadsword, which was a fine Taoist Treasure, instantly melted into scarlet molten iron.
Li Mu was sent flying backward and landed more than 20 meters away. His arms were scorched black as if he were a dead tree having been roasted by a big fire.
“Patriarch of the Liuyun family, what do you mean?” Li Mu asked coldly.
“Ha… Li Mu, a straightforward person doesn’t resort to insinuations. Since Liuyun Wuxin has told you everything, how can I let you go?” Liuyun Wufeng said with a sinister smile.
Li Mu said, “I am the future leader of the Sanctuary of the Way. How dare you kill me?”
Liuyun Wufeng burst out laughing. “Ha… How could I want to kill you? Liuyun Wuxin wants. I am just a little late for rescue. The Sanctuary of the Way is a reasonable Holy Land. It won’t do anything to me.”
Li Mu said, “It seems that there is no room for negotiation.”
Liuyun Wufeng said, “You should only blame your bad luck. Actually, I quite admire you. It’s a pity that you have known too much.”
“Yes, it’s a pity,” Li Mu said. “I didn’t want to kill you at first.”
“Hm?” Liuyun Wufeng was taken aback.
At this moment, two black halos rotated on Li Mu’s left arm and shot out.
Boom!
Just as Liuyun Wufeng was about to block them, he felt that the aura of the black halos was terrifying. He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. At the moment when his hair stood on end, he roared, “The mystery is deceiving the heaven and the earth. Let it enter my body. The power of the tactical deployment, come on!”
Realizing the great danger, Liuyun Wufeng instantly gathered all the power of the Mystery Deployment into his body.
A strange light shield as black as ink instantly enveloped him.
But it was useless.
The black halos rolled over with strong power. In an instant, they crushed the ink-colored light shield that had gathered all the power of the deployment, including the body of Liuyun Wufeng in it. His body was smashed into powder, and it drifted in the air.
“Is that an Emperor’s Weapon?”
This was the last thought of Liuyun Wufeng.
He had never expected Li Mu to have such a high-level weapon. Logically speaking, even the future leader of a Holy Land would not have an Emperor’s Weapon because a Holy Land of martial arts had only one Emperor’s Weapon. It was related to the fate of the Holy Land, so the Emperor’s Weapon rarely went out.
Liuyun Wufeng had planned everything, but he didn’t expect to die like this.
He had schemed, and he was smart. However, he died of it.
Seeing that his strike worked, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of the injury on his arms, he got up and took back the Heaven and Earth Rings in the air. To activate this Emperor’s Weapon, his True Energy was almost exhausted. He landed on the ground and gasped for breath.
Two specks of light floated down from the sky.
“What is this?”
Li Mu’s heart skipped a beat. He reached out and took the two light spots.
He observed them. One turned out to be a bronze gourd of Yin and Yang. Its surface was as smooth as a bronze mirror. The other was a piece of dark golden paper covered with strange symbols and words.
Having been attacked by the power of the Heaven and Earth Rings, they were still intact. They were not ordinary.
Li Mu’s heart skipped a beat, but he was not in a hurry to study them. Instead, he wanted to put them into his storage devices. Unexpectedly, after running his divine sense, they didn’t react at all. He tried several times but still failed.
“Could it be that these two things are Emperor’s Weapons?”
Li Mu was shocked this time.
His storage devices were of excellent quality. Only the Emperor’s Weapons and the Emperor-to-be’s Weapons couldn’t be stored. It seemed the yellow-skinned gourd and the dark gold paper were divine objects.
Therefore, Li Mu put them in his pocket.
After Liuyun Wufeng died, the operation of the Mystery Deployment gradually stopped, and the power of the tactical deployment dissipated. The surrounding hallucinatory power disappeared, and the light shield guarding the pattern of the Eight Trigrams of Yin and Yang Fish also disappeared.
Li Mu did not hesitate. He immediately rushed over with the rusted sword in his hand.
The rusted sword vibrated.
Wang Shiyu’s soul and psyche in the pattern of the Yin Fish suddenly disappeared into the rusted sword like a swallow returning to its nest. A warm and friendly aura came from the rusted sword.
He had succeeded!
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, a figure flickered in the distance and rushed over.
“Junior Chief, are you okay?” It was Liuyun Wuxin. Without the obstruction of the Mystery Deployment, he came immediately.
Li Mu said, “I’m fine.”
“Where is the old bastard Liuyun Wufeng?”
“I killed him,” Li Mu said.
Liuyun Wuxin looked shocked. His eyes saw Li Mu with unprecedented awe.
He had experienced how horrible the strength of Liuyun Wufeng in the tactical deployment was. However, he was killed by Li Mu so quickly. How powerful was Li Mu? He was terrifying even if he had killed Liuyun Wufeng with the weapons of his sect.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the distance, streaks of light flashed.
Another six or seven figures entered the sixth floor of the Darkest Temple and rushed over. They found Li Mu and Liuyun Wuxin.
