Chapter 515 The Four Pictures

“Nonsense.”

The senior chief of the garrison troops became furious the moment he heard what the young Wang Menghu said.

Others also bristled with rage.

More than a hundred martial arts masters managed to get together in the Qinling Heaven. They had the ability to defend themselves and cooperate with each other based on a clear division of tasks. Luckily, the results were rewarding in that Heaven.

In ten days or more the Heaven would end. They met some men from the Middle East while they were opening up virgin soil. Those men had been attacked by wild animals, having suffered heavy casualties. The masters bailed them out only due to moral principles.

They also took good care of the Middle East men afterwards.

Those Middle East men also pretended to be very grateful.

“They snuck inside the Qinling Heaven by using a hole in the mountains located in northern Iraq. They said they are common soldiers from the government forces who strayed into this place,” Wang Menhu said, gnashing his teeth furiously.

But who would know for sure they were scheming? It was when the Heaven was about to end and the thick fog started to emerge that those Middle East men carried out their nasty plots. They poisoned the masters in the dark using poisoning techniques. Although some martial arts masters noticed this, it was too late since they could hardly resist the poison.

What’s more, among those Middle Eastern men, there was a woman who had a very strong power, who belonged to the super strong group. Eventually, out of the more than one hundred masters, only Wang Menhu escaped successfully and the rest were cruelly killed. The harvests they had obtained in Qinling were also stolen by the Middle East men.

“Zhang Cheng, Liu Lei, Qing Feng and the other predecessors died,’’ Wang Menghu said with reddened eyes, “I swear I will avenge them. Otherwise, I am not a man.’’

People around him were also outraged.

Thanks to the cultivation method imparted by Li Mu, all of them reaped fruitful harvests and became much stronger during the visit to the Qinling cave. Meanwhile, there was almost no loss of life. The men who numbered more than a thousand when they entered the cave were the base and elites, the strongest foundation and the greatest assets in the Chinese martial arts field for the future.

It was truly a heavy loss, since a tenth of the men were killed.

“We should consider this matter carefully. The situation in the Middle East is very complicated the moment. With the winding down of the air force, the airstrikes of the superpowers lost their deterrent effect. The ground troops are short of soldiers, having to act on the defensive because of this. As a result, terrorists have become more active, especially so since some strong terrorists have risen and taken the main stage. This region is in danger of losing control.”

The senior troop chief frowned.

It wasn’t easy to take revenge.

It was difficult for the military force to step in.

As for the common Wulin factions, they weren’t familiar with the place, so they couldn’t protect themselves if they entered this area. Especially when many factions, strong men in the country, worked behind closed doors. They weren’t sensitive to the international situation and could easily lose.

For example, if the one hundred and more masters killed in the Qinling Heaven understood a bit about the international situation and events, they might be able to discern that the Middle East men were notorious terrorists. If they were aware of this in advance and kept an eye out for them, would they have suffered such a heavy loss?

Wulin ushered in changes. Apart from strengthening their power, the Wulin masters also needed to broaden their horizons and integrate into the world. It still took some time to go out.

Even the super strong Lu Haoran from the Divine God Sect failed to take revenge and even lost his life, since he didn’t coordinate or cooperate with others when he headed to the Middle east.

After all, that region was as turbulent as a Shura field.

At the thought of this, everyone felt dejected.

During the visit to the Qinling Heaven, everyone learned some things and improved their abilities at first, but at the moment they all felt depressed and resentful.

“Whatever it takes, we have to take revenge.”

“That’s right, the Chinese martial arts field shouldn’t suffer this loss.”

“We can organize death corps to sneak into the Middle East to take revenge for our dead brothers.”

Those young and hot-blooded martial arts masters were angry and impatient. They decided to go to the Middle East to exact revenge.

“I will go,” Li Mu said. He had remained silent until that moment.

Everyone’s eyes were on him.

“I am just pass by the Middle East. It’s on my way. Our men can’t be killed without revenge. Our things can’t be taken by those bastards. I will tell them that anyone who offends China will be killed, no matter how far away the target is. It’s not just empty talk.”

Li Mu’s tone was very calm, without any hot-blooded remarks or inciting roars.

But everyone felt a towering torrent flowing through their bodies.

Only Li Mu, the Killing King, had the capability to say this.

“I wonder if you would like to come with me to identify the murder,” Li Mu said and turned to Wang Menghu.

Wang Menghu laughed and said, “I am willing to be your pawn at your beck and call.”

The young men, like Lu Xun, Xiao Dong and Lu Yan’er, looked at Li Mu with fervent admiration.

As all kinds of things happened during those days, the ethos of Chinese Wulin was deeply influenced by Li Mu’s style. Many young martial arts practitioners considered Li Mu their idol.

A great man should act like him.

Carry swords and Dao to travel around the world. Requite like for like.

Who can walk this path?

“Do you want to report to the military to make full preparations? Maybe they can arrange for translators and someone to be waiting for you?” the senior troop chief said. Grey as his hair was, he was hale and hearty. He, as an elder in the military hawks, thought highly of Li Mu’s style.

Li Mu said with a smile, “No, thank you.”

A force poured out, and then Wang Menghu was caught. The flying Dao rose into the air and turned into a sliver light, swiftly flying to the west directly.

Everyone was excited. They looked up to watch them leave.

The news was soon reported to the military and the high office of the country.

Li Mu tried his best to perform the Broadsword-commanding Skill, so it took less than a day to reach Iraq.

After practicing in the Qinling Heaven, Li Mu’s ability had improved to a higher level. Li Mu flew at full speed in the abnormal heaven and flew more than two million kilometers in a day. In normal conditions, the distance could circle the globe over fifty times.

Overlooking the land below, they could see the Gobi Desert and the sand blown by the wind.

What’s more, this region, probably influenced by the variation of heaven and earth, was much drier. The local situation was chaotic, as there were traces of hot weapons and wars everywhere. Many former cities had become ruins.

It seemed that this land had completely fallen into chaos, later emerging as a hotbed of crime and killing.

Meanwhile, Li Mu noticed that a weird evil air flowed around the place.

The area of Iraq wasn’t very large. Li Mu used his Broadsword Intent Zone to cover the place. It didn’t take long for them to find the place where the terrorists assembled. He, along with Wang Menghu, swooped down and stopped in a town of the Gobi Desert.

No one discerned the whole process.

That town was probably a stronghold of the terrorists. There were only a few common people. Most of them were terrorists who wore the traditional white dishdasha robes and long towels, while they carried various firearms.

What surprised Li Mu was that some Europeans and Americans were present. They were very strong; they roamed about dressed as mercenary soldiers.

The inside of the town was slightly chaotic and as noisy as a beehive.

The architecture of the area showcased the typical Middle East style, with constructions dominantly made of stone. It was hard to tell the original appearance of the buildings, since most of them had been repurposed. They were built like pillboxes for military settlements. There were multiple checkpoints and various sentries on the road. Some heavy-duty weapons could be seen everywhere.

Wang Menghu, following Li Mu, was a little nervous at first.

After a while, he was surprised to find that those terrorists didn’t see them, even if they strutted around the street. He then came to realize that Li Mu and him were invisible, so he calmed down.

“Mr. Li, how can we find them?” Wang Menghu asked in a low voice.

Li Mu said in his normal voice, “The super strong woman you mentioned shouldn’t be a nobody in this region. We can start with finding clues. If there are no clues, we can go to the place I detected to search for her.”

In fact, during the visit to the Middle East, apart from taking revenge, Li Mu intended to find the underground terrorist base and the half dead Hei Zhang Speaker according to the information from the two super strong terroists Desert Camel and Machete.

Following the vine to get the melon, he wanted to find the evil septon Beyond the Sky.

However, what Li Mu didn’t expect was that an evil air was flowing around this region. It was uncommon.

Was this related to that evil septon?

Li Mu carefully observed the place along the way.

The evil air could exert an impact on people’s minds, turning them into ruthless and cruel individuals. Terrorists had a thicker air of evil than the common people. However, those European and American mercenary soldiers weren’t influenced by the evil air, because they didn’t have the evil smell.

Li Mu, taking Wang Menghu, went to the headquarters at the center of the town and swaggered his way in.

Outside, the headquarters looked like a pillbox made of soil. Inside, it seemed that they had entered a modern science laboratory. The headquarters was brightly lit. All kinds of military instruments were displayed methodically, gleaming with various lights. Every inch of the town was monitored and could be seen on the computer screen and several projections.

Wang Menghu suddenly found something. “Eh? That’s the woman,” Wang Menghu said, pointing to one of the four pictures hanging on the wall.

The four pictures were finely framed and delicately crafted. The place they were hanging was very conspicuous. Obviously, they were some leaders of the terrorist group.

The woman Wang Menghu pointed to was very young and possibly under thirty. With net-brown eyes, small and high nose bridge and slightly curled chestnut hair, she was a typical Middle Eastern beauty. However, there was cruelty in her eyes like the eyes of hawks and wolves. It was as if she would kill at the drop of a hat.
