Chapter 727 Have a Look at Your Face

Ying Yuanyuan was severely injured. She had passed out.

Liao Bi’ting held Ying Yuanyuan in her arms, stopped the bleeding, and helped the latter take an elixir. She tried to pull out the blue God-slaying Cone, but she could not pull it out, as if it had been cast into Ying Yuanyuan’s body.

She had no choice but to hold Ying Yuanyuan in her arms and walk over to Li Mu.

“Mr. Li, are you... are you all right?” Liao Bi’ting wanted to ask Li Mu if he was okay, but she found that a blue cone had pierced through Li Mu’s chest and blood was oozing from the wound. Obviously, he was not okay.

Li Mu’s face and lips were pale.

He reached out his hand, grabbed the handle of the blue cone from his back, and tried to pull it out.

However, the blue cone seemed to have taken root in his body. When he pulled it out by an inch, he felt unbearable pain, as if thousands of thin needles were running through his body. He almost blacked out and collapsed to the ground.

“Ha-ha, Li Yidao. The God-slaying Cone is a weapon specially designed to deal with deities. The cone in the Green Fox God’s body is a defective one. The one in your body is just an imitation, but it is enough to kill you.” The young master of the Green Fox Tribe stepped back and kept his distance from Li Mu, for fear that Li Mu might do something desperate. He laughed wildly and said, “Can you feel that the power in your body is ebbing away like tides? Ha-ha-ha.”

He stood on the same footing as Feng Xingyun and Huangfu Chengdao.

After all, he was once in the front rank of super Heavenly Legends.

Now he wanted to take back the glory that belonged to him.

Beads of sweat rolled down Li Mu’s forehead.

The primitive natural qi in his body was disappearing rapidly like air leaking from a punctured balloon. He could not gather it at all.

More strangely, as the ancient runes on the blue God-slaying Cone flashed, he was quickly losing not only his natural qi, but also his physical strength.

He realized that his condition was very bad.

He used to be suspicious of the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe. That was why he tried to make things difficult for them. However, the father and son were really good at pretending. After they played several tricks, he began to trust them.

Unexpectedly, they reciprocated his final trust in them with betrayal.

Li Mu’s heart was filled with rage.

He was greatly enraged.

However, he was more anxious and worried than angry.

What the chief of the Green Fox Tribe said just now revealed a lot of information. What worried Li Mu the most was that after Ying Yuanyuan was seriously injured, Bi Yan’s real body in the outside world would be attacked and severely damaged.

What the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe had plotted was obviously not limited to that.

In the outside world, some formidable people would deal with Bi Yan, who had been severely injured.

Bi Yan was in a very dangerous situation that was almost beyond redemption.

Li Mu could do nothing to help her now, because he couldn’t even protect himself.

“What should I do?”

He tried to activate the Death Qi of the Ghost Rally Star in his body.

There was no response.

He tried to activate the power of his white-bone right arm, but there was no response either.

The power of the blue God-slaying Cone had completely suppressed all the power in his body. No wonder the God-slaying Cone was used to kill deities.

“Ha-ha, Li Yidao, I’ll let you know the feeling of despair.” The young master of the Green Fox Tribe stared at Li Mu with a cruel smile on his face.

With that, he waved his hand and said, “Take action! Kill him now!”

The Heavenly Legends taking his side happened to be standing around Li Mu at this time.

Those Heavenly Legends used to be protecting Li Mu.

Now they were going to kill him instead of protecting him.

There were only two women left on Li Mu’s side, and one of them was seriously injured.

Liao Bi’ting put Ying Yuanyuan down beside Li Mu.

Without saying a word, she stood in front of Li Mu and activated the Wind-stabilizing Pearls, creating a protective shield that covered Li Mu and Ying Yuanyuan. Then, she slowly pulled out the long sword hanging from her waist and adopted a combat stance.

“Mr. Li, I might not be able to hold on for a long time, but I will do my best,” she said in a low but firm tone without even turning around.

Li Mu was dazed.

He did not expect that this proud female Heavenly Legend would still choose to stand on his side at such a moment. She knew that it was not a wise decision, because things could not be reversed at this point. However, even if she were to die, she would not back away.

After experiencing the betrayal of the chief and young master of the Green Fox Tribe, he felt deeply touched by Liao Bi’ting’s persistence.

“You should leave,” Li Mu said.

“This matter has nothing to do with you. Take Ying Yuanyuan with you and leave this place. They won’t make things difficult for you.” Li Mu tried to persuade her.

Holding the sword tightly in her hand, Liao Bi’ting shook her head and said, “I’m not a good friend, but I’m a real practitioner. I know what is right. I would not regret it even if I were to die a hundred times.”

She was as stubborn and determined as a moth flying to a flame.

Broadswords and swords flashed.

Liao Bi’ting started her fight.

It was the fight of one person against eight opponents.

Her opponents were eight Heavenly Legends who ranked above her on the list of Top 100 Heavenly Legends.

Li Mu grew very anxious. He wanted to help her, but his power was suppressed by the mysterious ancient runes of the blue God-slaying Cone. He was now no better than an ordinary person, so his efforts would be futile.

Blood squirted out.

Liao Bi’ting was soon injured.

Fortunately, the eight Heavenly Legends did not go too far and attack her fiercely. After all, the order that they had received was to kill Li Yidao, but not Liao Bi’ting.

Li Yidao was now like a fish on the chopping board, ready to be killed at any time.

He gritted his teeth, grabbed the handle of the God-slaying Cone from his back, and tried to pull it out.

To regain the ability to fight, he had to pull the God-slaying Cone out of his body.

However, when he tried to pull it out, the pain was simply heart-wrenching, bone-piercing and soul-wrenching.

This kind of pain felt like it was neither the pain of the physical body nor the pain of the soul. Instead, it was a frightening feeling of the body and soul being separated from each other.

It would be fair to say that Li Mu was a master in enduring pains.

However, his whole body was soon drenched in sweat, and his face was so pale that it looked like it was covered by a thick layer of flour.

Nevertheless, enduring such a pain was not completely meaningless.

He pulled the God-slaying Cone out of his back by a finger’s breadth.

“It is possible to pull it out.”

He was overjoyed.

Liao Bi’ting let out a muffled groan as she was sent flying backwards. Her shoulder, abdomen, and legs were all covered in broadsword and sword wounds and red blood. Blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth.

“Li Yidao, are you a real man? Ha-ha, you have actually let a woman protect you from the wind and rain. Ha-ha, that’s really a shame.”

The young master of the Green Fox Tribe said in a mocking tone.

Li Mu did not say anything.

He gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. While enduring the indescribable pain, he pulled the God-slaying Cone out bit by bit. Considering the progress of pulling, it would take about twenty-five breaths of time to pull it out completely.

“Think of a way to gain twenty-five breaths of time for me.”

Li Mu sent a secret message to Liao Bi’ting.

Liao Bi’ting froze for a moment and then realized that Li Mu might have come up with a solution.

She activated her natural Qi like crazy and rushed toward the opponents with her sword again.

Feng Xingyun grinned viciously. “The young master of the Green Fox Tribe, the subordinates that you recruited are incompetent. They can’t even control a mad woman. What a waste of my time.”

Huangfu Chengdao waved his hand and said to the Heavenly Legends on his side, “Why are you standing there in a daze? Take action and kill Li Yidao to eliminate all possible troubles.”

Over ten Heavenly Legends immediately rushed toward Li Mu.

Liao Bi’ting had a look of despair on her face when she saw that. “Only less than ten breaths of time has passed. I have to gain another fifteen breaths of time...”

Looking at the Heavenly Legends coming at her, she knew that in the face of so many masters, she would probably be unable to hold on for even five breaths of time, not to mention fifteen breaths of time.

“Is that the only way?

“That’s it.

“Mr. Li, take care of yourself in the rest of your life.”

As she said that to herself, she quickly activated a special ancient rune from her Mud-pill Palace in her Sea of Consciousness.

Boom!

An invisible force burst out.

Every blood vessel in Liao Bi’ting’s body suddenly exploded, sending all of her essence and blood into every inch of her bones and flesh. Her originally translucent, jade-like skin turned blood red in an instant.

Her beautiful black hair looked as if it were dyed red with blood.

Energy waves that were much more powerful than her own strength spread out.

She wielded the long sword in her hand and rushed out again.

Crimson tears welled up in her eyes.

“This is the only thing that I can do for you in this life.

“Will we meet in the next life?”

Like a furious demon, she went all out and fended off all the Heavenly Legends.

Blood red light danced wildly.

The sword Qi surged like tides.

Five breaths...

Eight breaths...

Twelve breaths...

Fifteen breaths!

Bang!

With a thudding sound of a heavy object falling, a blood-red figure fell to the ground heavily and landed in front of Li Mu.

At the same time, Li Mu roared and completely pulled the God-slaying Cone out of his body.

The cone left a bleeding hole that penetrated his body.

Blood oozed from the hole.

Li Mu had no time to think about anything else.

He mustered his physical strength, drew his broadsword, and thrust it.

The broadsword flashed with light that looked like the sunlight.

Amid the surprised cries, six or seven Heavenly Legends instantly turned into blood mist and powder. They were directly smashed into nothingness by Li Mu’s slash.

The slash was incredibly powerful.

When other Heavenly Legends saw this scene, they instinctively thought of the mystery and power of Li Yidao on the Immortal-slaying Platform. They were frightened, and they backed off one after another.

Li Mu took Liao Bi’ting into his arms.

The red color beneath her skin faded away.

Her appearance had returned to normal. Only her hair was still blood red.

“I... I did it, I...” Liao Bi’ting’s breaths were feeble, and the divine light in her beautiful eyes was disappearing. She stared at Li Mu with a smile of relief.

“Don’t talk. I’ll help you recover.” Li Mu desperately activated his natural qi to save Liao Bi’ting.

However, he was dumbfounded at the next moment.

The was no way to save her.

Her condition made Li Mu’s heart sink completely.

Her Source Energy was completely gone.

She had no chance of survival anymore.

There was only the last bit of vigor left in her. She was like a candle that had been blown out by the wind, leaving the last trace of smoke in the air.

She held on for twenty-five breaths of time.

One breath of time was no more than three seconds.

In about seventy seconds, she had performed some secret skill and gained time for Li Mu at the cost of her own life.

Li Mu was suddenly overcome by grief.

Liao Bi’ting seemed to have sensed Li Mu’s emotion. At the last moment of her life, she was lying in Li Mu’s arms with tears rolling down her face. She smiled and said, “Can I... call you... Brother Li? I want to... have a look... at... your... face under the mask. I...”

Li Mu raised his hand and took off his mask without any hesitation.
