Chapter 830 - Betrayal?
Chapter 830 Betrayal?
That was the scene Li Mu was most unwilling to face.
As a descendant of the Dark Yellow Clan, he was a natural enemy of the six major demon clans. They would fight each other to the death.
However, he would never give up on Bi Yan, who he thought of as a friend.
They were friends that had gone through tough times together and shared weal and woe with each other.
Back then, Bi Yan entered the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm in a disguised form to protect Li Mu. She was framed and seriously injured and almost died in there.
The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a gushing spring.
If Li Mu were to go and save Bi Yan, he would betray his race.
But if he did not save her, he would not be at ease.
Li Mu grabbed the brass tripod foot and looked at it carefully.
This time, he could see everything more clearly.
Bi Yan was really fighting with Cloud Light Saintess, but she was obviously at a disadvantage. Although she was covered in blood, she still fought desperately without backing down.
“Why was it Bi Yan?
“Why was it not the ancestor of the Heavenly Fox Clan?
“Could it be that Bi Yan has become the ancestor of the Heavenly Fox Clan or the ancestor of the Heavenly Fox Clan is hiding in the dark and waiting to reap the benefits?”
Li Mu thought to himself.
As displayed in the image, Bi Yan’s situation was gradually becoming precarious.
Li Mu was caught in a dilemma.
“You demonic woman, it’s time for you to die... Go to hell!”
Cloud Light Saintess’ long tresses billowed in the wind, and her face was filled with killing intent. She stuck out a finger and performed the Heaven-startling Finger Strike.
The elites of the Cloud Clan behind her were on standby, their eyes filled with hostility.
The group of armored guards of the Heavenly Fox Clan behind Bi Yan had suffered some casualties.
Bang!
Bi Yan took the finger strike of the Cloud Light Saintess head-on. Her body shook violently, and a trickle of red blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth and streamed down her beautiful white swan-like neck.
“Hmph! You demonic woman have no idea of my power. Let’s see how many finger strikes you can take!”
Cloud Light Saintess gained the upper hand. When she performed her finger strikes, the scene was simply startling. Runes flickered, and lights streaked across the sky. Numerous huge fingers emerged from the void, accompanied with the chains of the law and order and tremendous killing intent. Each finger strike was powerful, as if it could break the heavens. It deserved the title of “Heaven-startling Finger Strike”.
Bi Yan’s blue dress was dyed red with blood.
With a somber look on her face, she executed the secret skills of the Green Fox Tribe continuously to resist the attack with all her strength.
Behind her, the totem of an enormous nine-tailed green fox demon appeared and disappeared from time to time, swinging its big tail to strike the giant fingers coming out of the clouds. She was having a difficult time dealing with her opponent and was barely holding on.
She had expected that the fight would be tough.
However, she didn’t expect that Cloud Light Saintess would be so powerful.
“The Forbidden Song of Heavenly Demon!”
Green light swirled in Bi Yan’s eyes as she performed the forbidden skill.
The flames in her eyes flowed like liquid fire. The totem of the Giant Green Fox Demon behind her was instantly dyed by the green light like a simple picture painted with dazzling colors. It was endowed with a soul and suddenly became vivid and lifelike.
“The Forbidden Song of Heavenly Demon... Go to hell!” Bi Yan shouted in a low voice.
Her face looked as cold as a piece of jade, and her long hair fluttered in the wind.
As soon as she finished speaking, the totem of the Giant Green Fox Demon suddenly came to life. Baring its sharp fangs and brandishing its claws, it howled furiously and leapt into the air. Its demonic aura erupted like a flood. It smashed the giant fingers coming at it, broke the space barrier, and pounced on Cloud Light Saintess with unparalleled momentum.
“Hmm? It’s just a trapped beast trying to break free.”
Cloud Light Saintess sneered.
“Cloud Light Heaven-startling Finger Strike... Heaven and Earth Shaking Finger Strike!”
She chose a strong move among the many finger strike techniques in the blink of an eye. The clouds rolled across the sky, stirring up huge waves. A giant godlike finger thousands of meters long descended from the sky filled with devastating power and charged at the Giant Green Fox Demon.
It was a contest between two ultimate moves!
Boom!
The giant finger collided violently with the giant fox.
At that moment, strange scenes appeared and were engraved in many people’s minds.
These scenes made people feel that space and time had frozen in place.
After a moment of silence, the terrifying energy waves like those produced by an exploding nuclear bomb burst from the point of collision and spread in all directions. The giant finger and the giant fox gradually disappeared, and mushroom clouds rose up and destroyed everything as they moved across the sky.
The power was terrifying.
“You damned demonic woman!”
The face of Cloud Light Saintess changed drastically. She felt an indescribable strong force coming at her like a raging wave and she was forced by the shock waves to step back continuously. Blood oozed from her mouth and ears.
Even though she exerted all her strength to defend, the shock waves still left numerous bloody marks on her peerlessly beautiful face which was as perfect as a piece of white jade...
“Protect the Virgin Goddess.”
Some masters of the Cloud Clan were shocked when they saw what happened. They rushed forward to block the shock waves without any regard for their own safety.
“Back off!”
Cloud Light Saintess waved her arm clad in a long sleeve and stopped the masters from stepping up.
“Do I need your protection? What a joke!”
She stood proudly in the air with a gloomy, cold look on her face. Then, she put some distance between herself and the shock waves, and the auspicious clouds swirling around her dispelled all the shock waves.
On the opposite side.
Bi Yan was injured by the shock waves, and she was more severely injured than her opponent.
However, she displayed incredible perseverance and toughness and blocked all the shock waves head-on.
“Protect our goddess.”
“Your Highness, please retreat.”
The armored warriors of the Green Fox Tribe rushed forward.
The Divine-winged Fox was among them.
Bi Yan had supreme prestige among those armored warriors.
She regained her footing, shook her head, and then said, “There’s no turning back.”
“Ha-ha, you demonic woman. You and your clansmen are all traitorous devils that deserve to die. Today, none of you will survive.” Cloud Light Saintess smiled coldly and waved her hand. “Get in formation and kill all those fox demons.”
Drum beats rang out.
The masters of the Cloud Clan gathered, formed a number of three-person groups, and began to charge forward.
“Kill them!”
“Defend our goddess.”
The Divine-winged Fox brandished his broadsword and led the armored warriors of the Heavenly Fox Clan to charge.
These armored warriors were the elite soldiers of the Heavenly Fox Clan.
As the two forces engaged each other, blood splattered about and many people were killed mercilessly.
Angry shouts, miserable cries, furious roars, and wails rang out...
Different voices and shared feelings formed a symphony of blood and bones which was the most tragic melody in the world of the living.
“He-he, it’s beyond my expectation that you haven’t defeated this traitorous devil yet!”
A voice tinged with derision rang out.
A streak of lightning tore through the strange space and came into the battlefield.
The speaker was Lei Cang, the divine son of the Thunder Clan. He appeared like a flash of lightning.
He was covered with blood and looked wild and ferocious. He held the head of a huge demonic snake in one hand. The head was three or four meters high, covered with brown scales, and had huge fangs. The eyes on the head were still moving but filled with horror; the snake head had lost the ability to fight back. He was holding a large piece of brass vessel with the other hand. This piece was about one-third of the complete wall of the brass vessel. Obviously, it was one of the six keys.
“I’ve already killed the ancestor of the Demonic Snake Abyss and cut off his head. You haven’t defeated this green fox demon. It’s truly surprising.”
Lei Cang mocked.
He was a burly young man with a mop of thick hair. His blood-red hair stood up like long blood-stained needles. He wore a suit of silver armor and carried a silvery thunder halberd on his back. He had the sense of pride and superiority unique to the descendants of gods. He sneered at Cloud Light Saintess.
“Get lost!”
Cloud Light Saintess glanced at Lei Cang. “Mind your own business and do not bother me.”
Lei Cang chuckled.
More masters from the Thunder Clan appeared behind him.
“Ha-ha, don’t be so mad. Since you can’t defeat her, I’ll help you.” He handed the snake head to one of his subordinates, drew the thunder halberd from his back and said, “However, the divine key belongs to the one who can get it. Ha-ha-ha-ha, you demonic woman, take this.”
He waved his halberd and charged at Bi Yan. Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Bi Yan’s face changed slightly. She activated the demonic blood of the green fox god in her body to enhance her strength. Then, she did a palm strike and dispersed the power of the thunder.
“You... How dare you break the rules and steal my key?”
Cloud Light Saintess was enraged. She launched a finger strike at Lei Cang.
“Your key? You can’t get it because you’re useless. You haven’t defeated her after such a long time, so you can’t blame me for that.” Lei Cang laughed wildly as he mocked Cloud Light Saintess. Instead of fighting back, he moved to dodge her strike while focusing on attacking Bi Yan. Obviously, he wanted to be the first to kill Bi Yan and get the key.
Cloud Light Saintess stopped attacking Lei Cang and started to fight Bi Yan with all her might.
Now, Bi Yan was fighting with two opponents. The situation that she was facing became worse.
“Cloud Light Heaven-startling Finger Strike... Heaven-shaking Finger Strike!”
Cloud Light Saintess performed another ultimate skill with tremendous power.
“Thunder Skill-Apocalyptic Thunder Snake.”
Lei Cang brandished his halberd and performed a Thunder Skill.
He was very powerful, and he used the thunder halberd, which was a divine artifact. The ordinary members of the Thunder Clan had to spend some time accumulating power before they could perform the devastating Thunder Skill he performed just now. However, he could perform it with just a flick of his mind.
The giant finger and the Apocalyptic Thunder Snake took form almost at the same time and came at Bi Yan with unparalleled killing intent and destructive power.
A terrifying burst of Qi swirled and spread like a field of force in the forbidden world.
Countless people from both sides engaging in a life and death battle were instantly killed and crushed into powder.
“The Forbidden Song of Demonic God... The Wrath of Green Fox God!”
Bi Yan’s face was cold and filled with infinite killing intent. The green light in her eyes turned red and a mist of blood seeped out from the pores of her snow-white skin. She performed a secret skill to activate her power. The giant green fox behind her turned into a red fox, as if it had been dyed with blood.
Demonic and evil auras erupted forth and half the sky was dyed red.
The skill that she performed just now was an enhanced version of the ultimate move of the Forbidden Song of Heavenly Demon.
It was a forbidden move.
Boom!
Three different energies collided.
Terrifying waves of energy suddenly spread out in all directions like turbulent flows...
Pfft!
Bi Yan was hurt by this terrifying force, which was almost equivalent to the power of attacks from two high-level masters in the Upper King Realm. In an instant, her arms were directly broken, and countless bones in her body were shattered. She could no longer hold on. Her blue clothes were stained with blood, and her body flew into the sky like a kite with a broken string...
“Kill!”
Cloud Light Saintess was affected as well. However, she choked back a mouthful of blood and launched another attack.
“Protect our goddess.”
Several hunchbacked old men from the Green Fox Tribe rushed forward without regard for their own safety.
Boom! Boom!
Cloud Light Saintess directly smashed them into blood mist that drifted and dissipated in the air.
“Ha-ha, I’m going to get the key very soon.”
Lei Cang moved like a flash of lightning and got close to Bi Yan in the blink of an eye. He thrust his halberd at Bi Yan’s body which drifted uncontrollably in the air.
His movements were so swift. Even though the Divine-winged Fox and the others wanted to save Bi Yan, it was already too late.
On the verge of death, Bi Yan felt as if time had slowed down. She clearly saw the thunder halberd dashing toward her heart with devastating power. She saw the different expressions on people’s faces, the surprise and anger on the face of Cloud Light Saintess, the horror on the faces of the armored warriors of the Green Fox Tribe, and the ferocious killing intent in Lei Cang’s eyes and his lips curled into a sneer...
Everything seemed to be drifting far away.
Everything would be meaningless.
In Bi Yan’s mind, only one figure became clearer than ever.
His short hair and long broadsword.
His sharp and gentle eyes.
Perhaps he was already in that world at the end of the path.
He once said that he would go back.
“It’s a pity that I can’t see you again.
“My... Li Mu!”
The feeling that time had stopped suddenly disappeared. Bi Yan clearly felt the pain caused by the thunder halberd piercing through her skin. She removed all her defenses, ready to face the fate of her body being pierced by the thunder halberd. She planned to release all the demonic powers of her blood at the last moment of her life and die together with this divine son of the Thunder Clan...
However, something unexpected happened right at that moment.
Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of Bi Yan.
No one knew how this hand appeared.
Lei Cang had no idea either.
Anyway, the hand just appeared out of nowhere. At the most critical moment, it grabbed the tip of the thunder halberd.
The thunder halberd filled with devastating power couldn’t move forward at all.
“What?”
Lei Cang’s pupils shrank.
To his disbelief, he found that when his thunder halberd, a divine artifact, was held by that hand made of flesh and blood, he couldn’t move it at all no matter how hard he tried, as if it had been cast into divine iron. He injected the power of thunder contained in the halberd into that hand, but the power disappeared without a trace.
“Li Mu?”
From the distance, Cloud Light Saintess clearly saw that the person grabbing the tip of the thunder halberd was Li Mu.
It was just that Li Mu looked a little messy now. He wore a suit of tattered ancient armor, and the skin of his exposed arms was black, as if it had been struck by lightning. However, he grasped the thunder halberd firmly with his hand.
“Why do you want to save this demonic woman? Do you want to betray your race?”
Cloud Light Saintess was malicious enough to make such an accusation.
Li Mu held Bi Yan with the other arm, exerted his strength, and did a palm strike on the thunder halberd. Relying on the reaction force, he moved back quickly, turned around, and fled without looking back...
This time, he came here to save Bi Yan instead of fighting.
He had to get out of this place first.
Just then, a strange light flashed before his eyes.
“This path is blocked.”
As the mist swirled, Fairy Shuiyue of the Mist Clan in a splendid robe showed up. A red New Moon Wheel appeared with numerous curves of the Great Way and dashed toward Li Mu with unparalleled killing intent.
“Damn it.”
Li Mu activated his Third Eye, thrust his long broadsword, and hit the New Moon Wheel with his broadsword.
Clang!
He was forced by the tremendous power to take a few steps back.
