Looking at the broken branch at his feet, Luo Mu felt a bit helpless.
He had forgotten that he was still holding a heavy package in his hand.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have stepped on it and crushed it.
“I didn’t think there would be an inner traitor of the Magic Path in the Academy.”
Luo Mu murmured.
He had only heard stories before, but now he witnessed it with his own eyes.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The imperial power was naturally supreme, followed by the sects, then the Magic Path forces, and finally the alien races.
The Magic Path believed in chaos and disorder, spreading evil ideologies and disrupting the imperial rule.
Naturally, they were purged by the Dynasty.
But the Magic Path, like a centipede, always persisted even after being severed.
They would soon rise from the ashes.
Over time, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
“Junior brother, run!”
Cheng Qing Man shouted.
When she saw someone coming, she was overjoyed. But when she saw it was only an Outer Palace disciple at the Body Tempering Realm, Ninth Stage, her heart sank.
Even though the Magic Path martial artist was severely wounded by her.
He was not someone that a Body Tempering Realm, Ninth Stage could deal with.
“Want to run?”
“Let’s die together!”
The Inner Palace disciple would not let anyone leave this place alive.
He charged towards Luo Mu.
A mere Body Tempering Realm, Ninth Stage, he could kill with a single palm.
“True Aperture Realm.”
Luo Mu felt his blood boiling.
Perhaps it was the confidence that came with mastering his swordsmanship.
At this moment, he had no fear in his heart.
As always, he only had one thought - to cut!
Thinking this.
Luo Mu threw away the package in his hand and drew his sword.
“Ridiculous!”
Seeing Luo Mu not run but draw his sword.
The Inner Palace disciple almost laughed out loud.
But the next second.
His laughter froze, and even a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
“Life-Ending!!!”
Boom!
A gray blade of light, ten meters long, emerged from the air!
It shattered the air.
And descended upon him!
The Inner Palace disciple subconsciously raised his sword to block.
Crack!
His sword shattered.
The blade of light continued on its trajectory and landed on his shoulder.
Ah!
The Inner Palace disciple cried out.
His right arm flew off, blood gushing out.
He was, after all, a True Aperture Realm martial artist, and his instincts allowed him to avoid the fatal blow. Only his right arm was severed.
“What kind of swordsmanship is this?!”
The Inner Palace disciple, with blood pouring from his mouth, looked at Luo Mu in disbelief.
He was clearly only a Body Tempering Realm, Ninth Stage.
Why did he possess such powerful swordsmanship.
It was already capable of threatening, even killing, a newly entered True Aperture Realm martial artist.
Even if he hadn’t been injured.
Against such swordsmanship, his chances of winning were very low.
Not to mention now.
Luo Mu didn’t answer, or rather, he didn’t bother to answer.
He tapped his toes.
And charged towards the Inner Palace disciple.
The Inner Palace disciple was in a poor state, it was time to strike while the iron was hot. Any unnecessary words would be a waste of time!
“You!”
The Inner Palace disciple was both surprised and furious.
The roles had been reversed.
He never thought that he would become the prey!
And the hunter was merely a Body Tempering Realm, Ninth Stage!
“Life-Ending!”
The blade of light was like snow, extremely sharp.
The past half month of training had made Luo Mu's combat experience much richer.
The angles of his swordsmanship were even more cunning and vicious.
Every strike was aimed at the vital points.
The Inner Palace disciple kept retreating, the wounds on his body becoming denser and denser, and the thick death energy poured into his body, continuously devouring his vitality.
If it continued, he would only become weaker and weaker!
“Die!”
At one point, the Inner Palace disciple suddenly looked fierce.
He spat a mouthful of black blood towards Luo Mu.
However, Luo Mu had been vigilant all along, and directly dodged to the side.
He took advantage of the moment and closed the distance.
He thrust his sword into the Inner Palace disciple's mouth and out through the back of his head.
Sizzle, sizzle~
The blood fell to the ground, immediately corroding a large area of grass.
And there was a strong stench.
In miscellaneous knowledge class, the teachers had specifically introduced the common tactics of the Magic Path martial artists.
First, disguise and ambush.
Second, use poison.
Third,...
Among them, using poison was the most common.
Every part of their body could hide poison. Even their saliva could be a deadly weapon.
“It’s true that being cautious is never wrong.”
Luo Mu let out a breath of relief.
Then a smile appeared on his face.
It seemed his previous judgment was right.
After mastering his swordsmanship, he could indeed contend with a newly entered True Aperture Realm martial artist.
No.
He had underestimated himself.
Even if this guy hadn’t been injured, he could still have killed him!
But if it were a True Aperture Realm, Third Stage or above, it would be a different story.
Thinking this.
Luo Mu prepared to withdraw his sword.
But the blade was broken in two.
This long sword that had been with him for more than half a month had finally reached its limit.
He threw away the hilt.
Luo Mu looked at the woman.
Cheng Qing Man swore she had never encountered such an absurd situation in her life.
An Outer Palace Body Tempering Realm had actually killed an Inner Palace True Aperture Realm!
Even if the Inner Palace True Aperture Realm had been injured, he was not someone that a Body Tempering Realm could bully.
But the reality was right in front of her eyes.
“Am I hallucinating?”
Cheng Qing Man's beautiful eyes widened.
“Hey, are you alright?”
Hearing this, Cheng Qing Man finally came to her senses.
She saw the Outer Palace disciple standing not far away, as if hesitating whether to approach or not.
“The poison is not contagious, you can rest assured.”
As the one who was poisoned, Cheng Qing Man naturally knew its nature.
At the same time, she also felt a sense of disappointment.
In the Inner Palace, she was considered a beauty who was admired by all, and many people wanted to get close to her.
But now, it was like she was being rejected.
“That’s good.”
Luo Mu nodded.
Then he stepped on the Inner Palace disciple's neck, took out a cloth, and wrapped his head, “I hope Senior Sister can provide some proof of this matter.”
The head of a Magic Path inner traitor was quite valuable.
It could probably fetch a lot of contribution points.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Qing Man twitched her eyes, this junior brother seemed a bit ruthless.
“Of course, also, thank you for your help, Junior Brother. Otherwise, I would have certainly perished at the hands of this monster today!”
Cheng Qing Man took a deep breath and said seriously, “I will definitely reward you handsomely when we get back!”
“No problem, no problem.”
Hearing the word “handsomely,” Luo Mu immediately broke into a smile.
What he lacked most now were cultivation resources.
And this woman in front of him, wearing Inner Palace robes, and with such a high level of strength.
She was most likely a rich woman.
“Let’s go.”
Luo Mu walked over and helped the woman up.
Cheng Qing Man was speechless.
She noticed that Luo Mu was now wearing a pair of gloves.
He was clearly unwilling to have any direct contact with her.
This was a bit too cautious, wasn’t it!
“It's better to be safe than sorry.”
Luo Mu said with a smile.
“You’re right.”
Cheng Qing Man could only force a smile.
