Chapter 981: Meeting City Master Xiao Again
Li Yunmu kept coldly watching Xiao Rong lying in front of him. At that moment, he had already added Xiao Rong’s name to the list of people that he needed to kill.
“A trifling ant dares to provoke me?Die!”
Li Yunmu didn’t intend to give an opportunity for Xiao Rong to do anything and fully unleashed his strength. His outrageous presence even made the onlookers feel an indescribable pressure.
They had no idea from where the powerful young man standing in front of them had come. Based on his strength, even City Master Xiao might not be his opponent.
All the people in the surroundings began to slowly move outwards. The closer they were to Li Yunmu, the harder it was to breathe, and they were also worried that they might be implicated in the battle.
They hadn’t seen Li Yunmu before, but based on the powerful pressure coming from his body and the fact that he had sent a true immortal Xiao Rong flying with one move, his strength could be clearly imagined.
At that moment, Li Yunmu began to circulate the dark energy in his body. During the long period when he had been cultivating under Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, he had never used dark energy.
Once it appeared, it instantly wrapped around Xiao Rong. Under everyone’s dumbstruck gaze, he was raised in the air from the ground.
Just when Li Yunmu was about to kill him, a voice obstructed him. “Stay your hand!”
A figure quickly rushed in from a distance. The owner of the voice was Xiao Rong’s father, City Master Xiao. Li Yunmu stopped in the middle of his move and looked at City Master Xiao with a faint smile on his face.
Li Yunmu had thought to go and find him later, but who would have expected that the man would come rushing over himself. When Li Yunmu looked at his nervous expression and at Xiao Rong wrapped in dark energy, a memory clicked into place.
He suddenly recalled a person who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. He had dared to provoke him and tried to fight with him over the Solitary Ignition Sword in the Yin Imperial Palace.
City Master Xiao saw that his son’s life was in Li Yunmu’s hands at that moment, and based on the smiling face, the situation was very bad. It was quite likely that his son would lose his life.
City Master Xiao carefully observed Li Yinmu and all of a sudden recalled his identity. When he had opened the Yin Imperial Palace, almost all of the rogue young talents had been offered as a blood sacrifice to initiate the large spell outside Yin Imperial Palace.
Li Yunmu was one of the few rogue cultivators who hadn’t rushed forward, so City Master Xiao had paid special attention toward him.
City Master Xiao remembered that Li Yunmu was only a tribulation passing stage cultivator at that time, while his son was a true immortal, so how could Li Yunmu capture him? Could it be that he had also obtained some sort of opportunity in the Yin Imperial Palace?
At that moment, City Master Xiao was pale. Regardless of what sort of opportunity Li Yunmu had obtained, he definitely wouldn’t let him leave alive. It was not only because Li Yunmu had dared to attack his son, but even more so because he sensed a great amount of pressure coming from him.
The most urgent matter, however, was to rescue his son.
City Master Xiao cupped his hands towards Li Yunmu. He didn’t know Li Yunmu’s aim, but he knew that his son wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.
“Dao friend, I don’t know what sort of grievances and grudges exist between you and my son, but we should hear both sides. Perhaps there’s some sort of misunderstanding?”
City Master Xiao could be considered as being excessively polite, but how could Li Yunmu not see the hint of killing intent which flashed through his eyes for a split second?
“Haha, on the contrary, there’s no misunderstanding.”
Li Yunmu coldly smiled. At that moment, he wasn’t paying the slightest bit of attention to him because he was nothing more than an ant in his eyes.
“Since there’s no misunderstanding, then release my son first, dao friend, then we will speak.”
Because of being covered in dark energy for a long time, Xiao Rong’s eyes had begun to turn completely white. He was almost at his last breath, and City Master Xiao was very anxious about that.
He only had one son. If he died in Li Yunmu’s hand, his bloodline would vanish. At the thought of it, his killing intent toward Li Yunmu rose to another level.
But Li Yunmu didn’t make any movements nor replied to his words. It made City Master Xiao even more anxious.
“What exactly is the matter, dao friend? Quickly release my son! He cannot hold on for much longer!”
Li Yunmu smiled then indifferently said, “I never intended to let him off.”
When City Master Xiao saw Li Yunmu’s attitude, he unleashed his strength, and the onlookers involuntarily gulped down their saliva.
“But why, dao friend? There wasn’t any hatred or grievances between you and me before this, and even if there were, what the hell does it have to do with my son?!”
City Master Xiao became truly anxious because Xiao Rong’s life was slowly slipping away, and he became unable to control his emotions.
It became extremely difficult to breathe for the onlookers under the pressure emitted by City Master Xiao. Some of those with weak constitutions even knelt on the ground under the pressure.
“Haha, those people sacrificed by you also didn’t have any hatred or grievance with you, but didn’t you still use them to open the Yin Imperial Palace?” Li Yunmu said indifferently.
“It was only because of their greed that they suffered such a fate! What’s more, the world of cultivation is one where the strong prey on the weak. It doesn’t matter if those without strength are sacrificed!”
At that moment, City Master Xiao’s eyes turned completely red. If the next second Xiao Rong’s breath completely disappeared, he would definitely charge forward and hack Li Yunmu into pieces.
But Li Yunmu didn’t pay the slightest attention to City Master Xiao’s gaze. Instead, he said in a disdainful voice, “By that logic, I am stronger than your son so his death is also deserved.”
“If dao friend dares to do so, then I will definitely not let you leave this place!”
When City Master Xiao saw that Li Yunmu wasn’t paying attention to him, his expression turned even darker, and he couldn’t help but threaten him.
When the surrounding people saw Li Yunmu’s actions, they were shocked. They hadn’t expected that this youth would surprisingly dare to threaten City Master Xiao. Did he not know that he was the peak existence in the Ryukyu Small World?
When Li Yunmu heard City Master Xiao’s threats, his smile vanished and he became completely expressionless. The next second, he waved his large hand, and the dark energy wrapped around Xiao Rong shrank further.
Bang!
Xiao Rong, who was covered in black energy, was instantly turned into a pile of mincemeat, which splashed everywhere.
“Haha, I want to see whether you have the ability to keep me here,” Li Yunmu said with an indifferent smile.
The onlookers were completely astounded, and some of them instantly fled the place. They felt that the youth was a lunatic, for why else would he kill City Master Xiao’s son. If City Master Xiao attacked, they would also be caught in the battle and might even lose their lives.
City Master Xiao stared blankly at the pile of flesh. He hadn’t expected that the son he loved dearly would surprisingly be turned into a pile of flesh in front of his eyes, that he would die without even a complete corpse.
