Chapter 540: 540
“Brother Ding, you surely should say sorry to me,” Li Mu said . “What’s the background of the people you picked to send me out? They ate people without spitting their bones . They had been discussing to kill me and rob me of the treasures I carried . Luckily, those from the Western Sea Sword Sect came and took me away . Otherwise, they would have dealt with me when I was still in a coma . ”
“What? Kong San and those sons of a bitches! How could they…” As Ding Yi heard the words, he was beside himself . “When I get out of this, I will definitely tear them to pieces . ”
Li Mu chuckled and said, “Never mind . Anyway, those good-for-nothings have been killed by the West Sea Sword Sect . ”
Ding Yi gazed at Li Mu and felt that something was wrong, but he had no time to give it a deep thought .
He gritted his teeth and said, “Xiao Duan, I got you into trouble this time . But don’t worry . I will keep you safe no matter what happens . ”
The wounds on his body looked shockingly scary . As blood gushed out, Ding Yi appeared to be a man bathed in blood . If it were other people, they might have not been able to hold on for so long and fend for themselves . But when Ding Yi made this remark, it was absolutely convincing .
“Hehe, it’s really touching . ” Qu Xuening laughed and applauded .
“It is true that your brotherhood is quite profound . However, Hero Ding, it is already difficult for you to protect yourself . Don’t make such a remark to puff yourself up at your own cost . I just said that as long as you surrender, I will let go of this little scholar . My words are still valid . What do you think?”
He looked at Ding Yi with a teasing look .
“Will you live up to your words?” Ding Yi sneered . “You decent people are not even as good as wild dogs in the cemetery . When have you ever kept your promise?”
“How dare you!”
“You’re courting death . ”
“You’re full of nonsense!”
When the surrounding experts of the West Sea Sword Sect and the Cold River City heard these words, they all burst into a round of angry reprimand .
The eyes of Tan Rushuang, the Top Sword of West Sea, and Qu Yi, the Lord Cold River City, turned frosty as well .
People were always like this . When they did sinister things, they often felt at ease . But once their deeds were exposed, they would be so ashamed that they could not stand it .
Qu Xuening said coldly, “It seems that you have no choice but to believe me . If you want to save the little scholar’s life, then just give in . ”
Ding Yi looked at Li Mu and then at Qu Xuening . Eventually, he remarked, “Fine, we have a deal . I hope you can keep your word . ”
For Ding Yi, kindness and hatred were clearly distinguished . He was a real man, so how could he hurt his brother out of his fear of death?
Although the two had only been close for more than a month, Ding Yi did regard Li Mu as a friend, a brother .
A smile appeared on Qu Xuening’s face . He then said, “Well, here are four Devil-sealing Spikes . You nail them in your meridians to seal your cultivation of Genuine Vitality . After all, the secret methods of your Devil Cult are too many . Only by using our means can I be at ease . ”
“Okay . Don’t forget what you’ve promised . ” Ding Yi caught the four rays of light that Qu Xuening threw at him . They were four scarlet dragon-shaped spikes, made of special materials . The spikes contained the secret sealing deployment of the Zhu family . Once they pierced into a man’s body, even an expert in the Void-breaking Realm would have his cultivation be restricted .
Without any hesitation, Ding Yi inserted all four Devil-sealing Spikes into the key joints of his meridians with four splutters .
Hot blood squirted out from his wounded body again .
The deployment inside the Devil-sealing Spikes was activated . In an instant, a strange force poured into Ding Yi’s body and completely sealed his power .
By this time, Ding Yi had become almost the same as an ordinary person .
Without the support of natural qi, his face was a little pale .
However, his eyes were still burning with the desire to fight and an unyielding spirit .
In the darkness, Ding Yi’s eyes were as bright as stars .
“Good, very good . ” Qu Xuening laughed out loud and said, “He does live up to his title as the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect, a branch of the Devil Cult . He dares to take responsibility for what he has done . His strength of character is comparable to the Fate-defying Immortal who had died in the hands of the nine major forces that year . ”
“Cut it out . ” Ding Yi uttered, “It’s your turn to let him go . ”
Qu Xuening gave a smile and said, “Tut-tut, I suddenly changed my mind . What can you do now?”
“You…” Ding Yi’s eyes became frightening .
Qu Xuening burst into laughter and said, “Haha, what’s the matter? You’re angry, aren’t you?”
Ding Yi’s eyes were so fierce that they could almost kill people .
Qu Xuening smiled faintly and admitted, “Yes, I did promise you, but I didn’t say that I would not change my mind . What’s more, the sinners and evil spawns of the Devil Cult like you should be wiped out . If we don’t uproot the grass, it will grow up again when spring comes . This little scholar has colluded with the Devil Cult, so he deserves to die a thousand times . Originally, he would have to suffer from cruel torture, but for the sake of you sealing your cultivation, I will give him a quick death . ”
Then, ignoring Ding Yi’s murderous glower, Qu Xuening looked over his shoulder and said to Senior Fellow Apprentice Fan, “Send him to hell . ”
“Splutter!”
With a flash of broadsword light, the head fell to the ground .

Qu Xuening smiled, then remarked, “Well, he is dead now . What’s the use of staring at me like this? Well, if you have to blame someone, blame yourself . It’s you who caused his death . You were so stupid to surrender . You…”
As he spoke of this, he suddenly felt that the look from Ding Yi across the field was a little weird .
That was not the look of grief and indignation .
It was a sort of… bewildered expression .
“Watch out!” An elder from Cold River City, who was closest to Qu Xuening, caught onto the situation and shouted in alarm before making his move .
“Swoosh!”
The streak of broadsword light flashed again .
The head of this elder from Cold River City was directly sent flying .
Blood gushed out .
It was not until this moment that Qu Xuening turned around to check the situation . He was instantly horrified by what he saw .
Previously, when the first ray of broadsword light flashed past, it was not the head of Duan Shuiliu, but the head of Senior Fellow Apprentice Fan that dropped to the ground . Senior Fellow Apprentice Fan’s long broadsword was already in the hands of Duan Shuiliu, the “fragile scholar” . Just now, with a casual hack, the head of an elder in the Sage Realm was directly cut off and thrown to the air .
“You…” Qu Xuening was petrified . He was no longer as calm and composed as he was when he schemed . He found this hard to believe . At the same time, he hoped to step back and flee .
Li Mu gave him a backhand slash .
Qu Xuening’s legs from the knees down were chopped off and sent flying .
“Plop!”
He threw himself on the ground and began to holler .
It was not until this time that the others had realized the fragile scholar who was as insignificant as an ant in their eyes turned out to be a top expert with such formidable cultivation… Such a turn of the event was really shocking .
“Ning’er…” Qu Yi, Lord of Cold River City, roared and launched a strike right away .
Among the Four-city Alliance, the punch technique was the most famous in Cold River City . The Cold River’s Heaven Lockdown Palm-hitting was the most prized technique in that sect . It was said that the palm-hitting technique was passed down by the immortals from another world . Being the lord of the Cold River City, Qu Yi had mastered the essence of the Cold River’s Heaven Lockdown Palm-hitting . He was also an expert in the Void-breaking Realm . When he attacked in rage, how terrifying would it be?

When his palm flipped downward, it seemed to have an earth-shattering power . The surrounding space was also twisted .
Li Mu put away the broadsword in his right hand and conjured a fist seal with his left hand, bellowing, “The Seven Supreme Beings of the Decent Alliance on the Bitter Star claim to be invincible . Today, I’ll have the chance to witness it with my own eyes . ”
“Rumble!”
The moment the fist and palm collided, there was a moment of silence between heaven and earth . Then, a wave of frightening energy burst out . The unbearable pressure that the surrounding people felt swept in their faces, forcing them to retreat one after another .
“What?” Qu Yi exclaimed .
He flew backward for dozens of meters and barely managed to regain his balance . After that, he stared at Li Mu with an astounded look .
This lord of Cold River City City couldn’t believe that his full-strength attack failed to hurt his opponent or force him to retreat . Instead, he himself was sent flying by his opponent’s punch .
Screams of astonishment were also heard from nearby .
The people who came here tonight were all first-class experts from the West Sea Sword Sect and the Cold River City . They could easily see how amazing the punch was . When Li Mu killed Senior Fellow Apprentice Fan and the elder from Cold River City, it only made people realize that this “fragile scholar” was actually a martial arts expert . Yet, after seeing him fight Lord of the Cold River City head-on and drew a tie with him just now, the crowd all saw the truth .
This “fragile scholar” was definitely not a simple expert . Instead, he was the best out of the best .
A streak of sword light dashed toward Ding Yi across the field .
It was as fast as lightning .
The head of the West Sea Sword Sect, Tan Rushuang, just made his move .
Seeing that the Lord of the Cold River City City returned with no success, Tan Rushuang immediately realized that things had gone awry tonight . Duan Shuiliu, the so-called “fragile scholar”, could not be defeated in just a couple of moves .
He was a crafty man and would never overexert himself .
Therefore, he quickly attacked Ding Yi, who had lost his combat ability .
He would catch Ding Yi first and then deal with Duan Shuiliu .
However, though he was fast, Li Mu was faster .
He lowered his shoulder and turned a somersault . The Somersault Cloud instantly appeared . Then, as if he had been teleported, Li Mu already arrived at Ding Yi’s side and hacked the long broadsword in his hand . It was exactly the Lifting Hack, one of the Wind-Cloud Six Moves .

“Clank!”
There was a very subtle sound of metal colliding .
Tan Rushuang, the Top Sword of West Sea, flew backward .
The sword in his hand had snapped into halves .
While the broadsword in Li Mu’s hand was still intact .
“Who are you?” asked Tan Rushuang, his face solemn . There was no longer any trace of contempt in his eyes . During their brief duel, he felt the daunting power of his opponent . He was a top expert with the power absolutely not weaker than his own .
Countless names and figures quickly crossed in Tan Rushuang’s mind .
Experts in the Void-breaking Realm definitely could not be unknown to the public on the Bitter Star . Yet the person in front of him was a man he had never seen or heard of before .
Li Mu paid no attention to him .
“Brother Ding, you entrusted the wrong person who almost threw me to hell . Now that you’ve been stabbed by four Devil-sealing Spikes, we’re even . What do you think?” Li Mu said beamingly . He then directly cast a technique and pulled out the Devil-sealing Spikes from Ding Yi’s body . After that, he injected a wisp of wood qi of the Eastern Wood Emperor into him to treat his injury .
Ding Yi was speechless the whole time .
“Xiao Qi, you are really good at hiding your strength . ” Ding Yi sighed .
Li Mu grinned and said, “Brother Ding, you also nailed it . I didn’t see a sign at all . ”
“Can you tell me who you are now?” Ding Yi asked .
The rest of the people in the area also perked up their ears .
Li Mu said, “Let me introduce myself . I’m Duan Shuiliu, the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect, a branch of the Divine Sect on Mount Shu . ”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi’s face turned a delicate shade of green .
