Great Li Martial God

”Lead the way ahead. As long as we can safely leave this mountain forest, I promise not to kill you.”

Cang Yinyue leaped onto the mule-horse, indicating for Yu Changlu with his drooping arms to walk ahead on the mountain path.

Yu Changlu didn’t resist. He immediately walked at the very front with his arms dangling.

He was very clear that he had no choice. In the current situation, his only option was to compromise and submit. Only by waiting for rescue from the alliance’s experts would he have a chance to survive.

So as long as Cang Yinyue didn’t kill him, he would do whatever she asked now.

Li Musheng observed everything without saying much. He patted the horse’s back and let the mule-horse slowly follow.

Regarding Cang Yinyue’s misunderstanding, he didn’t feel the need to directly punch out and blast this entire region until mountains collapsed and earth split, making her open those big eyes of hers wide to properly see just how awesome his martial Dao pinnacle strength really was!

No need. Having reached his level, he had long passed the age of striving to outdo others.

Right now, he just wanted to wander the world, seeking opportunities for martial Dao transcendence. The Great Li’s Shangyang City was his first stop.

...For quite a long stretch afterward, the journey was peaceful. They didn’t encounter any more people from the Blood-Bathed Alliance, nor were there traces of fighting and battle along the road.

However, Yu Changlu’s expression was somewhat abnormal.

After the bald man had sent out the signal, he had immediately brought his subordinates to ambush on a nearby mountain path.

However, Meng Shan and Yuan Mei were too tough. Yu Changlu had lost several subordinates but still couldn’t stop them. Instead, they had escaped.

Since he wasn’t skilled in lightness skills, he temporarily had to stay behind and continue guarding the mountain path.

By rights, with so much time having passed, the Blood-Bathed Alliance’s experts should have, like him, already seen the signal and rushed over.

Yet along this entire journey, he hadn’t seen a single Blood-Bathed Alliance expert. He hadn’t even seen one of the alliance’s small fry.

”Could something have happened in the alliance? Did those people from Yinshan Gate and Yanqiu City attack?”

Yu Changlu walked along the rugged mountain path with his head down while thinking with furrowed brows.

He completely failed to notice that from the waist-high wild grass beside the mountain path, a bloody hand suddenly reached out and fiercely grabbed his ankle.

In that instant, Yu Changlu’s eyelids jumped. Although his hand tendons had been severed and only one-tenth of his skills remained, he wasn’t too panicked.

Immediately, he stamped down heavily with his foot, shaking off the hand grabbing him. Then with a side step, his single leg erupted with astonishing energy as he heavily kicked toward the grass.

Bang!

With a dull sound of bones shattering, a figure was kicked flying by Yu Changlu. It flipped several times in mid-air before finally rolling onto the mountain path.

At this time, Yu Changlu, who had clearly seen the figure’s appearance, was suddenly stunned.

He discovered that the person who had grabbed his foot was actually the bald man.

Yu Changlu had encountered him before. The other party had clearly gone to chase Meng Shan’s group of three. Who knew why he would be hiding in the grass beside this road?

”What’s going on?”

Yu Changlu rushed to the other’s side with his arms swinging, only to discover that after he had kicked the bald man, the latter was already breathing more out than in. It looked like he wouldn’t survive much longer.

At this time, Cang Yinyue rode her horse forward, frowning as she swept a glance at the bald man on the ground.

The other’s current condition couldn’t be called anything but miserable. Both eyes had been gouged out, blood flowed from all seven orifices, and his body’s skin was entirely a strange blue-black color, clearly having been poisoned.

”Tell me, who injured you like this?”

Yu Changlu hurried to the bald man’s side to ask, but the bald man only opened his mouth with difficulty. In the end, he couldn’t say anything before directly kicking his legs and dying.

”If you hadn’t kicked him, perhaps he could have said a few words.”

Cang Yinyue shook her head with a pondering expression, ”From the martial arts style, this person should have been injured by a sinister and poisonous claw technique. It doesn’t look like their doing, but it’s hard to say. Perhaps someone secretly concealed such a technique.”

She had previously observed Meng Shan and Yuan Mei’s attacks, so she was quite familiar with their martial arts.

Although the bald man’s current state didn’t seem like their doing, it couldn’t be absolutely ruled out.

Li Musheng beside them looked at the bald man’s corpse, thinking thoughtfully, but didn’t say much. Instead, he turned to Yu Changlu and smiled, ”Let’s continue on the road. From now on, if we encounter this kind of situation again, remember to be gentler and leave your own people alive.”

Hearing this, Yu Changlu’s face alternated between green and white, but he didn’t dare say much. He could only leave the bald man’s corpse behind and continue along the mountain path.

The situation along the way afterward made Yu Changlu’s expression increasingly ugly and increasingly alarmed.

Almost every short distance along the mountain path, several corpses would appear.

These corpses had died miserably. If their eyes weren’t gouged out, their hearts were dug out. All had blood flowing from their seven orifices and were poisoned.

Moreover, without exception, all these killed people were from the Blood-Bathed Alliance. Besides ordinary disciples, several hall master-level Innate experts had also died.

”It must be those bastards from Yinshan Gate. Their martial arts are the most vicious and poisonous!”

Yu Changlu’s expression was gloomy to the point of dripping water. At the same time, he gradually grew fearful.

Looking at the current situation, he probably couldn’t wait for rescue from the alliance’s experts.

Those hall masters stronger than him had all died so miserably. Given his current state, if he encountered people from Yinshan Gate, he would probably die even worse.

”Young hero, miss, you’ve also seen the current situation. If we continue forward, we’ll very likely encounter those bastards.”

Yu Changlu suddenly stopped halfway and earnestly tried to persuade Li Musheng and the other, ”Why don’t we turn back while there’s still time and return the way we came? I swear on my life that I’ll guarantee to safely escort you both out of Chong Province through another route.”

At this time, Cang Yinyue’s expression also didn’t look too good. For the first time, her eyes showed hesitation.

She naturally saw everything they had encountered along this journey.

Moreover, she saw more deeply than Yu Changlu and understood the problem more clearly.

She discovered that these dead people from the Blood-Bathed Alliance were very likely not killed by encountering an enemy force.

From beginning to end, there was actually only one killer!

In Cang Yinyue’s view, this person not only had cruel methods but also extremely strong martial Dao strength, probably above hers.

More importantly, the other party was extremely skilled in poison techniques.

Whether facing Innate experts or ordinary Blood-Bathed Alliance disciples, the other party would use poison without exception.

Cang Yinyue had tried examining the poison on the corpses and discovered that this person wasn’t just killing people but also cultivating poison techniques.

The further along they went, the stronger the poison on the corpses became. This also indicated from the side that the person’s poison techniques were continuously growing stronger.
