The fifth volume is full of awe and martial arts legends Chapter 248: The Enemy at the Gate
That’s... Li Muchan.
The wind and rain remain the same, but the noise has dissipated.
In the alley, Li Muchan's fluttering sleeves gradually calmed down.
In the drizzle, the four figures all retreated.
Bai Yujing stumbled back, taking several steps back until the tip of his sword hit the ground, finally stabilizing himself. The moment he stopped, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his lips and teeth, a torrent of blood gushed out uncontrollably.
"puff!"
In an instant, Bai Yujing's face lost all color and turned as pale as paper.
In the brief gap between the two, the sword of immortality in his hand suddenly broke into pieces with a "click".
This one of the seven weapons that had been famous in the martial arts world for decades disappeared into thin air.
Shangguan Tianhong is also retreating.
This man reacted extremely quickly and decisively. He wanted to take advantage of his remaining strength to escape, but he soon slowed down his retreat and looked at Li Muchan with a serious and disbelieving expression.
Because Shangguan Tianhong suddenly felt a pair of extremely terrifying eyes falling on him, like an arrow breaking through the air, sharp and powerful, soaring into the sky, and like a thorn in the bone, nailing him down fiercely.
Li Muchan was already looking at him.
Shangguan Tianhong was so frightened that he dared not move even a little. He had a feeling that if he turned around and fled with his back to the enemy, his head and body would be torn apart immediately, and he would die silently like Zhu Jiu.
Qiu Xiaolou was also retreating, his eyes filled with disbelief, blood rushing from his mouth and nose. He widened his eyes and growled, "This is impossible!"
When did Li Muchan develop such astonishing palm power?
How is this possible?
In such a deadly disaster, several great masters joined forces to attack, but Li Muchan fought against four alone and did not lose the upper hand.
Qiu Xiaolou's breath was trembling.
He couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met Li Muchan when the Demon Cult moved eastward.
In just a few short months, this person has grown to such an incredible level.
Among the four great masters, only Eunuch Liu seemed calm and composed.
No one escaped, no one dared to escape.
Given Li Muchan's current level, these people would have to think twice before even turning around, so how could they dare to escape?
Moreover, Li Muchan's martial arts skills have exceeded everyone's expectations. This is not just strong, this is simply extremely strong.
These people are both heroes of the time and ambitious, so they naturally know how to make the choice.
That is, in this battle, no matter what the cost, Li Muchan must be killed.
They might still have the strength to fight now, but if they give up this opportunity, it will probably take less than three to five years, and within a year, Li Muchan will be able to sweep across the world and dominate the martial arts world of the thirteen provinces. By then, no one will be able to stop him.
And even if they escaped, what could they do? With Li Muchan's skills, since he has already made a big enemy, he will have to live in fear and be on guard day and night from now on.
So, the four of them looked at each other, made a prompt decision, and temporarily put aside their past grudges, intending to first get rid of this rising star who was about to reach the pinnacle .
Eunuch Liu glanced at his right hand and saw veins bulging on the back of it, his blood surging like a wriggling earthworm. He immediately exclaimed in admiration, saying softly, "Haha, how amazing! Your palm power is enough to sweep away all opponents in the martial arts world. Even if you look at the past five hundred years, I don't think anyone can match it."
As he spoke, Eunuch Liu stretched out his five fingers lightly, and suddenly black water-like true energy flowed through his right hand, dispersing all the pent-up strength.
"What a pity! Despite your profound understanding of the principles of heaven and your profound comprehension of the great Dao, you cannot escape death today." Bai Yujing wiped the blood from his lips and said quietly, "Do you think the only people outside Luoyang are from the Azure Dragon Society? I am about to launch an uprising, so how can I not make every possible preparation? Before I arrived in Luoyang, a thousand warships had already left Poyang Lake, gathering troops from both land and sea, totaling a hundred thousand. Calculating the time, they are not far from reaching Luoyang."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the others became subtle.
Since ancient times, in every dynasty, rebellion and treason are serious crimes that result in confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family, and are a serious taboo.
Li Muchan's expression was calm. He shook his sleeves and said thoughtfully, "You're too happy too soon. I saw Yang Zheng when I came here. He might not be a big shot, but he brought a young man with him. Why don't you guess who that person is?"
Bai Yujing's smile froze, his face turned even paler, and he said sternly, "I don't care who he is."
Li Muchan, seemingly possessed of wisdom, said lightly, "You must know this. Since he's aware of something, he won't be unprepared. Your 100,000-man army probably won't reach Luoyang. Even if they do arrive, they won't be your soldiers... Now we're trapped in a trap. We just need to wait for the army to arrive and capture them all in one fell swoop."
If Bai Yujing's previous words were shocking enough, then what he said now was even more earth-shattering.
It wasn't just Lu Xiaojia and the others whose expressions changed. Eunuch Liu and Shangguan Tianhong were also moved and looked nervous.
Even if they were truly invincible, they would not dare to fight against the imperial court. Once the enemy troops were at the gates and tens of thousands of them came to attack, they would have no way to escape to heaven or to enter the earth, and their fate would be death.
However, Li Muchan's eyes were gloomy, full of undisguised murderous intent, as if he had made up his mind to decide the winner today.
Shangguan Tianhong's face turned ugly, and he couldn't help but scold: "Boy, if there really is a large army besieging the city, you won't be able to escape."
If the imperial court really reaches the point of mobilizing a large army to suppress the martial arts world, the leaders of various forces in the martial arts world like them will definitely not escape death.
Li Muchan's eyes were calm as he said nonchalantly, "I know. So, to be on the safe side, no one from the Tianxia Alliance came to Luoyang except me."
It seemed that he had already made arrangements and left a way out.
Finally, without even turning his head, he said gently to the people behind him: "Don't worry, I'm here. Even if a large army approaches, I can protect you."
Looking at the tall and thin figure in front of her, Shangguan Xiaoxian's body seemed to tremble, and her eyes trembled, making the moisture in her eyes even thicker.
Li Muchan had just revealed her plan, making her think that this man wanted to kill her. She was disheartened and wanted to fight to the death, but she didn't expect the situation to take such a turn.
Before Shangguan Xiaoxian could respond, Shangguan Xian'er suddenly shouted angrily, "Can you please stop flirting and take care of them first?"
"Mr. Li, what you just said is only one side of the story. Whether it's true or not is still unknown." Eunuch Liu said calmly, "Besides, do you think I don't have a backup plan..."
Just as he was speaking, outside Luoyang City, another ball of fire rose rapidly into the sky, and then bloomed one after another in full view of the crowd.
That’s right, there was more than one firework launched into the sky.
On all sides.
But surprisingly, these fireworks belonged neither to the Qinglong Society, nor to the Jinqian Gang, nor to the Tianxia Alliance.
Then there is only one possibility left, people from the court... have arrived.
Eunuch Liu's cheek twitched slightly, and his tone paused. Then he said expressionlessly, "Why don't you come out and meet this famous leader of the Tianxia Alliance?"
As his words fell, six figures suddenly appeared outside the alley, exuding a sinister aura.
Li Muchan squinted his eyes and said with a playful smile, "Aren't there seven more? How come only six are here?"
Someone said in a sinister voice, "Master, Mr. Zhang has left the city and probably won't be coming back."
Eunuch Liu said with a gloomy expression, "Haha, it seems that the true dragon entering the world is indeed true."
At this moment, a member of the Money Gang suddenly called out from a distance to pass on a message.
"Boss, there is a large army gathering outside the city."
