Volume 4: Blue Dragon Changes the World Chapter 204: Twists and turns, sudden changes
Of course it is to save.
Must save.
Seeing the sudden twists and turns and the sudden changes, Li Muchan stared intently and blurted out, "Be careful!"
But as soon as he opened his mouth, a cloud of blood mist rushed towards him, hot, fishy and sweet.
At the same time, a delicate body crashed into his arms with a cry.
After all, I was slow to react.
…
The others were unaware of the sudden change. They only heard Li Muchan behind them shouting in a deep voice. Before they could react, a series of deafening explosions rang out in the entire hall.
When Ye Kai and the others looked back, Li Muchan and Shangguan Xiaoxian were nowhere to be seen.
Because behind them, at the entrance of the secret passage, a huge rock weighing at least ten thousand pounds had sunk, blocking their way out.
The veins on Yan Shisan's sword-holding hand suddenly bulged, and his eyes revealed a deep sadness.
The blood color on Pharmacist Li's face disappeared in an instant, and he became extremely pale.
Ye Kai's expression was complicated, but looking at the loose boulder above the secret passage, he hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Don't be stupid, the secret passage is about to collapse, get out first and make a decision later."
※※※
And inside the hall, amidst the flames rising into the sky and the rising dust, a figure suddenly shot out from the dark passage.
The man laughed loudly, raised his arms and retreated quickly, then hung upside down on a corner of the roof with his legs spread out like a bat, looking at the black-robed man who walked out of the smoke and dust with a playful look.
Li Muchan stood there expressionlessly, looking at the other person. He wiped the blood off his cheek and then put Shangguan Xiaoxian in his arms aside.
He looked around and saw that the explosion had collapsed the hall in half, leaving him with no way to escape or retreat, completely blocking the way.
Although Li Muchan kept changing his position, he always kept Shangguan Xiaoxian protected behind him. Murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but his words were very gentle: "Who are you?"
"Haha," the man said while hanging upside down, with a forced smile, "Unfortunately, my last name is also Zhu, but I'm not as noble as Zhu Si, nor am I the boss of Qinglong."
As he spoke, the man had already taken off the human skin mask on his face.
But this man had a rough and weather-beaten face, with dark red cheeks like red-hot charcoal, bright eyes, a face that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom , with a protruding forehead and a domed chin, which looked very strange.
This face alone is unusual.
Li Muchan had been active in the marketplace in the past, doing many jobs and had read several books on physiognomy. According to the books, this man had a very famous face, one that was suitable for an emperor. He was very promising and had a dragon-like appearance, so he could become an emperor.
It is rumored that the founding emperor of the current dynasty, a man surnamed Zhu, was born with such a dragon face.
But Li Muchan didn't care about the emperor's appearance. Even if this man was really the emperor, what difference would it make? He sneered and said, "Are you tired of living?"
The man was stunned when he heard this, then he grinned. " As expected, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. But now you are seriously injured, not to mention that you have a burden beside you. What are your chances of winning?"
As the man spoke, he glanced at the collapsed dark passage, and his eyes suddenly became uncertain.
Li Muchan had two swords on his waist and a Tear-Mark Sword in his hand. He followed the man's gaze and glanced at him secretly. He immediately understood the other person's thoughts.
This person simply wanted to hold someone hostage in exchange for his life, but Gongzi Yu was so cruel and ruthless that he took almost everything into consideration and cut off all chances of survival.
There is a way out of a desperate situation, but all hope of survival is cut off. There are ups and downs, ups and downs. Now no one can survive.
Li Muchan held the sword across his chest, rubbing the blood on it with the tip of his left finger, and murderous intent was surging in his eyes.
"Tears Sword?" The man's eyes flickered, as if he was extremely afraid of the sword. "Boy, there's limited air here right now. If you and I fight, we'll all suffocate before the water comes in. Besides, the three of us are all tied up in this together. Why don't we sit down and have a good chat and think of a way to escape? Hehe, since Zhu Si is dead, I don't have to take orders from anyone, so there's no need for us to fight. How about it?"
Li Muchan frowned and said nothing, as if he was thinking.
The man took the opportunity to add, "I know a lot of secrets in the martial arts world, including Zhu Si, some things about the Shen family, and the origin of your Qiankun First Finger."
Li Muchan held his sword still and said in a deep voice, "Then tell me, what is the origin of Qiankun First Finger?"
The man chuckled and said, "Haha, others may not know this, but I do, because this peerless magical skill is recorded in the imperial palace. It's called the Four Illuminations Magic Skill."
"Four Lights Divine Art?"
Li Muchan's eyes flickered and his heart was filled with fear. He had not expected that the First Finger of the Universe would have such an unusual origin.
The man sighed, "It's a shame this divine skill has been lost. Legend has it that once mastered, one can soar through space, becoming a Martial Saint. No matter their age, the speed of their internal energy remains constant until death, and a single move can shatter all martial arts. Back then, when Shen Tianjun pointed it out, the Nine Provinces were subdued. Such was his impressive skill that even Zhu Si was half-defeated."
Li Muchan finally spoke: "Moves?"
The man nodded. "Actually, Zhu Si wasn't the loser. He lost in technique, but won in internal strength. The two were evenly matched. But Zhu Si was too perfect, too perfect to be considered an ordinary person. Such people are either paranoid or insane. Furthermore, he killed his own woman with his own hands, and his mindset changed. He went to extremes with his swordsmanship, which is why there are flaws in his technique."
Li Muchan asked, "What's the difference between you and him?"
The man was still hanging upside down, and he smiled and said, "Of course it's different. He is qualified to be the crown prince, while I am much more humble."
He stared at Li Muchan and suddenly shook his head again: "It's a pity that although the Qiankun First Finger was derived from the Four Illuminations Divine Art, it is not the Four Illuminations Divine Art. Otherwise, you possess two unprecedented martial arts that have shocked the world. I'm afraid Zhu Si would have no choice but to retreat."
Li Muchan seemed to have truly given up his murderous intent and asked softly, "Where's that Bai Yujing outside? Who is he?"
When Bai Yujing was mentioned, the man's eyes darkened and he sneered, "Don't underestimate him. He might be even more difficult to deal with than Zhu Si."
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
The man's eyes changed repeatedly, and he said hatefully, "I didn't expect this kid to collude with those people in the deep palace without saying a word. Now things are a bit difficult to deal with. If he gets out, wouldn't it be like a trapped dragon flying into the sky, gaining power overnight?"
The more Li Muchan listened, the more confused he became: "Which ones?"
The man looked at Li Muchan again and smiled meaningfully, "Just like Bai Yujing and Zhu Si now, everything has a first come, first served basis. Have you ever thought about who was the first to become the boss of Qinglong? These people created the world and are much more powerful than Zhu Si."
Li Muchan was moved and asked, "Are they still alive?"
The man said, "Their descendants are still alive. They were all powerful figures in charge of their respective regions, holding high positions of power. Just like the 'Blue Dragon Society' in the martial arts world, they have deep roots in the government. You have to understand that those behind that mask don't just represent a few masters, but a host of shady forces."
Li Muchan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is he from the royal family?"
The man clapped his hands and laughed, "Clever indeed. Zhu Si killed his own woman because of the coercion of these people. He has been at odds with them for so many years. Now that Zhu Si is dead and the Azure Dragon has changed its owner, it's natural that there will be a big fight."
Li Muchan nodded: "Thank you for letting me know!"
The man suddenly narrowed his eyes into slits, revealing a cold look: "It seems you are still not smart enough."
After he said that, he suddenly dodged to the side and saw a sword shadow flying towards him.
Li Muchan strode forward with a sword in hand, his eyes piercing with coldness. Behind him, a graceful figure flashed...
"Why are you still hanging around in the underworld if you're afraid of death? Die!"
