Great Li Martial God

The entire corridor suddenly fell silent. The smile on the young man's face froze in an instant.

The two people hiding by the stairwell no longer concealed themselves. With hurried footsteps, they quickly came to stand behind the young man.

The three looked at Li Musheng, killing intent surging in their eyes. However, for a moment they couldn't quite gauge his strength and hesitated to advance.

Li Musheng shook his head. The strength of these three before him was too poor. Only one had barely reached the Innate Realm.

To be honest, even though he knew they had come to kill him, he truly didn't have the slightest desire to make a move.

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, the eunuch Little An suddenly appeared at one end of the corridor. Seeing this scene, he immediately walked over quickly.

"Strike! Once the people from the palace arrive, it will be too late for everything."

One of the young men let out a low roar. A fierce expression appeared on his face. He immediately took the lead and charged toward Li Musheng.

Hearing this, the other two no longer hesitated. Their internal energy sank beneath their feet, and they suddenly shot forward, bringing a gust of urgent wind as they followed closely behind. However, the eunuch Little An seemed extremely skilled in lightness techniques. His movement speed was clearly faster. In just a few flashes, he had already arrived nearby.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several palm winds condensed with Sunflower Yin true qi struck out, stirring up a wave of cold energy that fiercely slapped toward the three people.

Like a fierce cold wind blowing at them head-on, two of them felt cold throughout their bodies. Their charging steps had not yet fallen when in the next moment they were blown away.

The remaining person's true qi surged. He threw out a fist to break through the energy before him and was about to continue killing toward Li Musheng. However, he suddenly collided with a palm that Little An struck diagonally.

This palm was wreathed with wisps of Sunflower Yin true qi, extremely sharp. Even the surrounding air became a few degrees colder.

Bang!

The young man in scholarly robes was slapped away, following in the footsteps of the other two. He fell onto the corridor, smashing the wooden floorboards until they cracked, debris flying everywhere.

"Aurora Pavilion has long had rules. No one is permitted to fight privately. You just wait to hear your punishment."

Little An stood before Li Musheng, his expression cold as he looked at the three people on the ground.

Two of them suddenly spat out mouthfuls of stagnant blood. Clutching their chests, they struggled to prop themselves up with difficulty. One was clearly very regretful and said through gritted teeth, "If I'd known, we shouldn't have hesitated earlier. We missed the best opportunity to kill him!"

The other turned his head, his face pale as he looked at the young man in scholarly robes and asked, "We're no match for that little eunuch. What do we do next?"

Hearing this, the young man in scholarly robes reached out to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, but didn't speak. He just stared fixedly at Li Musheng.

"You still want to make a move?"

Little An narrowed his eyes. The true qi beneath his palm quietly circulated, ready at any moment to respond to a sudden attack from the person before him.

At this moment, the young man in scholarly robes slowly stood up. He lowered his head to glance at the other two people beside him, his voice cold, "We still have a chance. We just need you to lend me a hand."

Hearing this, the other two immediately brightened. Just as they were about to speak, a hand had already fallen on top of their heads.

Before the two young men understood what was happening, their bodies suddenly lost control and began trembling violently. Moreover, they shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wisps of blood-red qi followed along the palm of the young man in scholarly robes, rapidly flowing into his body. His facial skin gradually became full and radiant.

Thud!

The ruddy-faced young man in scholarly robes pushed with his hand. The two bodies, now like dried corpses, fell to the ground with a thud.

"Thank you. I will fulfill your wishes for you."

The young man in scholarly robes' eyes flickered with blood-red light. He slowly raised his head to look toward Little An and Li Musheng, the corners of his mouth hooking into a faint, cruel smile.

"You're from the demonic path?"

Little An stared at the other warily, his expression uncertain. However, he quickly shook his head and said, "Impossible. Everyone who entered Aurora Pavilion was secretly inspected. If you practiced demonic path techniques, you absolutely couldn't have hidden it!"

The young man in scholarly robes gently twisted his neck and said, "No wonder you're a young eunuch. Your experience is truly pitifully shallow!"

As soon as his words fell, the young man in scholarly robes' figure transformed into a blood shadow and disappeared from his original position.

Little An only felt a nauseating bloody smell rush at him, and the other had already arrived before him.

Seeing this, his pupils immediately contracted. The palm that had already condensed Sunflower Yin true qi suddenly struck toward the bloody figure before him.

But the next moment, Little An discovered with horror that this palm of his had only struck a blood-colored afterimage.

The real young man in scholarly robes had suddenly appeared at his side. At the same time, a terrifying sense of deadly crisis descended.

From the corner of his eye, Little An could see that the young man's fair palm had somehow grown blood-red sharp nails like blades, gouging viciously toward his heart.

A trace of fearful despair flashed across his face. However, just when he thought he would have his heart gouged out and die on the spot in the next moment.

Those blood-red nails like death's scythe stopped just half an inch from his heart.

Little An's entire person widened his eyes, subconsciously swallowing.

Before he understood what had happened, at this moment, a lazy voice sounded in his ear, "How was it? Thrilling?"

Little An stiffly twisted his neck to turn back. He discovered Li Musheng was looking at him calmly and at ease.

Little An hurriedly retreated several steps in panic, distancing his heart from those blood-red nails that could completely take his life.

Then his gaze fell on the young man in scholarly robes before him whose face was ferocious but completely motionless. He finally understood what had happened.

He took a deep breath and turned to face Li Musheng, bowing deeply in salute, "Thank you for saving this servant's life, Young Master Li. This servant is extremely grateful!"

Previously, Li Musheng had helped him disperse the Northern Qi Dark Energy, something even his godfather An Quan couldn't do.

This time the other had saved him again. Although he didn't know what level of strength the other possessed, he must be extremely formidable.

Hearing this, Li Musheng shrugged his shoulders and walked to stop before the young man in scholarly robes.

In his heart, however, he was pondering matters concerning creating the Life and Death Talisman martial art.

From Little An's performance just now, indeed, true fear should all stem from the feelings experienced in that instant of facing life and death. This should be the principle behind why the Life and Death Talisman was so tormenting.

Thinking this, he lightly flicked his finger. The young man before him with a ruddy face and blood-red eyes suddenly moved his throat and could finally speak. However, his voice seemed hysterical, "Die, die, die for me!"

Li Musheng paid it no mind. He just raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you practice the Star-Absorbing Great Method, kid?"

However, the young man in scholarly robes didn't answer his question. His eyes only became even more blood-red, as if mad as he cursed and swore there.

Seeing this, Li Musheng furrowed his brow slightly. He was just about to experiment on him with the Life and Death Talisman martial art he had just gained some comprehension of.

However, at this moment, a soft voice came from midair, "If this servant hasn't guessed wrong, this should be 'Demonic Heart Implantation'!"
