In the Heavens

"Huashan Li Bumu, please teach me, Senior Liu, the swordsman of Cangshan Mountain!"

With the sound coming out, Li Mu floated onto the ring. He bowed his hands vigorously to the crowd, which was regarded as a salute from the junior to the senior.

I saw an old man with white hair and a childlike face walking out of the crowd, full of immortal demeanor, and very good-looking. It was Cangshan swordsman Liu Gongju.

"Go down, junior, you are not my opponent. If it were your master, it would be about the same, but with your kid's cultivation, it will be about the same if you practice for another twenty years!"

Hearing these arrogant words, Li Mu's good impression of the visitor disappeared. Now he finally understood why this Cangshan swordsman who was far away in Yunnan and Guizhou appeared on the list.

Fortunately, Liu Gongju has always been in the Yunnan-Guizhou area. If he travels in the Central Plains, ten lives for his stinking mouth are not enough.

"There is no such thing as good or bad, but man invites himself."

The most taboo thing to walk in the rivers and lakes is arrogance. This is Mount Hua. Although Li Mu is just an ordinary disciple, he also represents the face of the Huashan sect.

Liu Gongju is so clamorous, if he doesn't give him some color, where will the Huashan faction lose face?

Li Mu smiled slightly, Liu Gongju can rely on the old to sell the old, but he can't be foolish. After taking a step forward and bowing slightly, he said:

"Today, my Huashan faction set up the ring here to make friends with martial arts. It is a junior's honor to be taught by senior Liu. Seniors don't have to worry about winning or losing."

It's okay to "make friends with martial arts". Although dozens of people have been killed or injured in this arena, both parties have signed life and death certificates.

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the status of life and death has been set, and no one can intervene in the arena regardless of life or death. This account cannot be settled on the top of Huashan.

The challenge that Li Mu is launching now is a pure exchange of ideas, life or death is not a matter of life and death, and one side just admits defeat.

Of course, since it is a martial arts competition, casualties are unavoidable. In case of anger, it is possible to lose arms and legs, or even die.

"Good, good, good!"

"Since you want to humiliate yourself, junior, don't blame me for bullying the younger."

After finishing speaking, Cangshan swordsman Liu Gongju jumped onto the ring, drew his sword and launched a rush attack, without the slightest air of a senior.

Accustomed to the demeanor of the seniors, Li Mu was also very confused when he suddenly met a guy who didn't talk about martial arts.

Regardless of whether Liu Gongju is arrogant or not, he has real kung fu under his hands. Because he didn't expect the Cangshan swordsman to rush to attack, his reaction was a step slow. For a while, Li Mu was a little flustered. After dodging dozens of moves, he gradually stabilized his position.

In the eyes of everyone outside the arena, it was Liu Gongju's fierce attack, but it was futile in the face of Li Mu's graceful movement like a banishing fairy.

In the eyes of some people with little knowledge, this is Li Mu deliberately playing tricks on Liu Gongju. Only real masters know that Li Mu has been passive from the very beginning.

Regardless of continuing to hide his strength, the shadow of the sword fluttered, a white light flashed, and the majestic sword energy enveloped Liu Gongju, and the situation was instantly reversed.

Huashan swordsmanship is known for its "strangeness", and Li Mu used the "Three Immortal Swords to Kill" when his aura was at its peak. There is indeed an irresistible threat of the three armies changing.

Liu Gongju, who was in the vanguard, finally grasped the power of Li Mu's sword at the critical juncture, and it was coming straight at him. It was not a deceit, but it was too late, so even if he could try his best to block it.

Under the balance between me and the other, it is inevitable to suffer losses, and the following sword moves will be even more difficult to block.

At the moment when the sword's edge struck in the blink of an eye, Liu Gongju retreated one after another, regardless of his image, and just rolled around like a donkey, only barely avoiding this killing move.

Seeing that Li Mu was going to continue to attack, Liu Gongju hurriedly shouted: "Stop, I admit defeat!"

It's okay to be cowardly, he can see that the opponent in front of him is not only good in movement, but also in swordsmanship. The most important thing is that he has little experience in fighting people.

If it was a life and death fight, such an opponent would naturally be the best. But if you encounter such a fledgling rookie with a deep background in the arena, it will be bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Not only can't the tricks be used, but also can't be ruthless. But they are full of firepower, it doesn't matter how serious the shot is, and if one is not good, people will die.

Although Liu Gongju is arrogant, he is not stupid. If his own martial arts is not good, he will definitely lose in a fair duel, and if he fails, he will lose his wealth and life.

After all, the rules of the arena are only for the weak. As a genius disciple of the Huashan School, even if Li Mu accidentally beat him to death, his reputation would be damaged at most.

As for the punishment, what is great is that he was fined to retreat in the mountains for several years, which is nothing at all. It is still unknown whether even this kind of punishment can be enforced.

It is a joke to expect fellow Jianghu to uphold justice. Who would offend the flourishing Huashan faction because of him?

Hearing the desired result, Li Mu immediately stopped attacking, bowed his hands and said:

"Thank you senior for your acceptance!"

From the start of the challenge to the end, Li Mu showed the gentleman's style to the fullest, and no one could fault it.

A wonderful fight ended, and there was a burst of applause from below. I don't know if it was a trick arranged in the door, but someone has already called out "Little Sword Fairy".

Li Mu is very satisfied with this nickname. If the word "small" can be removed, it will be even more perfect.

Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway. At this moment, Feng Qingyang, who presided over the big competition, also looked serious, and sighed in a voice that only he could hear:

"Unexpectedly, there are still people in my Huashan faction who have comprehended the sword intent. Unfortunately, what they comprehend is the awe-inspiring spirit, otherwise..."

On the rostrum, Ning Qingyu still had a faint smile on his face, but the slight trembling of the teacup in his hand betrayed his inner unrest.

However, this scene was well concealed. On the surface, it looked like the tea was too hot and needed to be shaken to cool down.

"First there was Feng Qingyang, and now there is another Li Bumu. This is God's destiny for my Huashan School to prosper!"

"It's a pity that I'm a disciple of the Sword Sect again, but since what I've comprehended is the meaning of Haoran, then the problem is not too big. As long as the next plan is successful, my Huashan will really be able to stand on a par with Shaolin Wudang!"

...

Obviously, Ning Qingyu is not really impartial. He is the head of Huashan and the leader of the Qizong, and he is still more emotionally inclined to the Qizong.

It seemed fair to support Feng Qingyang's rise, but it was actually because Feng Qingyang did not pose a threat to him.

After all, people can pretend, but the artistic conception of martial arts cannot deceive people. Feng Qingyang was able to comprehend Dugu's sword intent, so he was doomed to be a master who was afraid of trouble and didn't like to care about ordinary things.

This kind of good fighters with superb martial arts and not able to fight for power, naturally, the more the better.

If what he comprehended was the aura of domineering, I'm afraid Ning Qingyu would not be so easy to talk about. Don't say it's a lot of support, if you don't hurt the killer, it's a moral.
