His gaze remained fixed, not shifting even a bit.
It stayed on him.
It was quite obvious that he was the target.
Luo Mu leaped off the spirit horse.
And the spirit horse, being quite intelligent, walked to the side.
He sensed them briefly. The two blocking his path weren't particularly strong.
Just True Aperture Realm Ninth Level.
The same as that Blade Sect disciple.
What made Luo Mu puzzled was that he shouldn't have offended anyone, right?
He settled all grudges on the spot.
Just like earlier.
Even if someone were to seek revenge later, it shouldn't be this fast.
"Chang Le Academy, Outer Palace disciple, Luo Mu."
One of them spoke, "True Aperture Realm Fifth Level, yet you've comprehended a Martial Dao Grand Momentum. Your talent is truly monstrous."
Hearing this.
Luo Mu raised an eyebrow.
It seemed they were indeed waiting for him specifically, even knowing his name.
"Who are you?"
Luo Mu placed his right hand on the hilt of his blade.
As the saying goes, those with ill intent don't come bearing good tidings.
These two didn't even show their faces.
It seemed they weren't legitimate individuals.
Moreover, from them, he smelled a familiar scent, similar to those Devil Dao martial artists from the outpost.
"If you want to know, just keep going forward. My senior has been waiting for you."
The person replied.
"What if I don't?"
Luo Mu narrowed his eyes.
"In life, there are many choices. Some choices, if grasped, will benefit you for life."
The person's mouth, concealed beneath the mask, curved into a slight smile, "We come with sincerity. Why not try to trust us once?"
The words fell.
The atmosphere in the forest suddenly fell silent.
Only the faint sound of the spirit horse chewing on grass could be heard.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, sending fallen leaves swirling.
"Boring."
Luo Mu took a deep breath and exhaled these two words.
The next second!
Swish!
The long blade unsheathed!
The terrifying blade light instantly swept across the entire forest path.
Clang!
The long blade returned to its sheath!
It was barely half a breath, and its position seemed as if it had never moved.
Rumble!
Before the two could react, they turned into dust.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
Luo Mu's gaze was indifferent.
They blocked his path inexplicably, their words were unintelligible, shrouded in mystery.
He didn't have the patience for this.
Furthermore, the scent on these two was very similar to those from the outpost, they were undoubtedly Devil Dao.
He couldn't possibly continue forward.
Who knows if there were any traps.
The Devil Dao appearing here was probably not a good thing, he would just take action directly!
"Audacious!"
A powerful aura surged forth from ahead!
It frightened the spirit horse, causing its legs to buckle, and it collapsed to the ground.
Luo Mu stood unmoved.
But his black hair was blown wildly by the aura.
A figure emerged from ahead.
Dense black aura surrounded him.
Wherever the black aura touched, whether it was the ground or trees, it would corrode, a terrifying sight.
"It really is Devil Dao!"
Luo Mu's eyes were deep.
And it was... Spirit Sea Realm!
Spirit Sea Realm martial artists cultivated True Qi.
While Devil Dao, due to their cultivation techniques, would cultivate equally powerful Devil Qi.
Luo Mu didn't expect to encounter a Spirit Sea Realm Devil Dao.
Was this group of Devil Dao blocking his way because of the outpost incident?
It wasn't likely.
Because all the Devil Dao martial artists in the outpost were killed, not a single one survived, so news about him couldn't get out.
Wait.
Luo Mu recalled what those two said earlier.
They mentioned Martial Dao Grand Momentum.
And he revealed his Martial Dao Grand Momentum in Xun Yang City.
"This sect comes with good intentions, yet you dare to draw your blade and kill?"
The figure spoke.
The Devil Qi around him thinned slightly, revealing his true form.
The figure was a middle-aged man.
His skin was pale and bloodless.
On his left cheek, there was a scarlet moon tattoo.
"Crimson Moon Devil Sect!"
Luo Mu's eyes narrowed.
Within the Imperial Dynasty's territory, there were three major Devil Sects.
Crimson Moon was one of them.
They worshipped the legendary Crimson Moon Devil God.
Those in the outpost earlier belonged to the Crimson Moon Devil Sect, but they weren't considered true disciples.
While this one was.
He had a prominent tattoo.
These tattoos weren't just random designs, it was said they possessed special power.
"This seat is asking you a question!"
The middle-aged man's voice was ice-cold, filled with killing intent!
These two weren't ordinary subordinates.
They were his... disciples!
But in just a blink of an eye, they were killed!
They didn't even have a chance to react!
"These two couldn't even speak properly, living in this world was just wasting air and resources. I helped you get rid of them, it's a good deed."
"How dare you blame me?"
Luo Mu's lips curved into a slight smile.
"Sharp-tongued!"
The middle-aged man's face darkened instantly.
After all, they were his disciples. He knew what kind of people they were.
Sometimes they liked to speak half-heartedly, leaving half unsaid.
He didn't pay much attention to it.
But who would've thought, today he would encounter someone who had no... patience!
"Don't think that just because you've comprehended a Martial Dao Grand Momentum, you're invincible,"
The middle-aged man no longer thought too much, his voice turned cold, "Even though you can match ordinary Spirit Sea Realm martial artists, this seat isn't a newcomer to Spirit Sea Realm, I'm Spirit Sea Realm Fourth Level! Suppressing you is just a matter of raising my hand!"
"Now I give you two choices!"
"The first is to join this sect, accept the Devil Seed, then today's matter will be forgotten, and we'll be colleagues in the future."
"The second..."
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, "Is death!"
Hearing this.
Luo Mu understood.
This group of Devil Dao blocked his way today entirely because he had performed too well in Xun Yang City!
They were directly intercepting the academy to 'rob' him.
It wasn't about the outpost.
What puzzled Luo Mu was, when did this group start following him?
If it was when he left Xun Yang City, and they followed him all the way,
Then they should know what happened in the King Slayer Gorge today.
Eight-tenths of a Blade Momentum, plus the Xuan Jie Shang Pin *Wu Sheng Dao Jing* [Scripture of the Lifeless Blade], unless this person also had Martial Dao Grand Momentum, even if they were Spirit Sea Realm Fourth Level, they would likely be killed on the spot.
"Tell this seat, your choice!"
The middle-aged man had little patience. The deaths of his two disciples filled him with killing intent toward Luo Mu.
He didn't have any particular fondness for his disciples.
They were... puppets!
He had been cultivating them for so long, preparing to refine them into puppets!
But now they were gone!
"Using the terminology of factions, I've grown up in the light since I was a child."
Luo Mu shrugged.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Stubborn and inflexible, then go to death!"
The middle-aged man understood.
The killing intent in his eyes was no longer concealed, and he charged directly at Luo Mu.
The Devil Qi surged, like a black cloud pressing down on the city.
Luo Mu took a half step back with his left leg, his body leaned slightly forward, assuming a blade-drawing posture.
At the same time.
Boom!
Eight-tenths of the Blade Momentum surged out!
Covering hundreds of meters in all directions!
Crackle!
Large swathes of ancient trees couldn't withstand this pressure, they all snapped and fell, the ground even had countless blade marks!
What?!
The middle-aged man, who had been full of killing intent, instantly halted his footsteps.
It felt like he was stuck in a swamp.
"This is...?"
The middle-aged man raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He knew Luo Mu had comprehended a Blade Momentum.
But according to intelligence, it was only one-tenth of a Blade Momentum.
Perhaps it could resist a newcomer to the Spirit Sea Realm.
But it definitely wouldn't be able to resist him, Spirit Sea Realm Fourth Level!
But now!
This wasn't one-tenth of a Blade Momentum at all!
It was at least eight-tenths!
