Li Mu looked at Zi'er with a somewhat strange face, and said with a smile: "Little guy, you are not big, but your tone is not small! Earth Spirit Realm martial artists are not ordinary people, even in this imperial city, they are already considered masters!"

When Zi'er heard this, she was suddenly a little angry, and said hurriedly: "Hmph, I don't brag, the strength of the Earth Spirit Realm is embarrassed to be called a master, I can poke a group to death with one finger!"

Seeing that he was a little anxious, Li Mu smiled helplessly and replied: "Okay, okay, but little guy, you said your name is Zi'er, how do you know Rourou?

Zi'er squatted on Li Mu's shoulder, lifted Erlang's legs quite humanely, and explained, "Except for Sister Rourou, you are also the first person to know my name. But you're not right, I don't have a racial relationship with Sister Rourou, I am a Purple Pupil Earth Spirit Tiger Clan, and Sister Rourou is not a spirit animal, she saved my life before, and she is my great benefactor!"

When Li Mu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "What did you say?! Rourou is not a spirit beast? How is this possible, I have seen her transform from a spirit beast into a human with my own eyes!"

"Hmph, I didn't lie to you, Sister Rourou is a fake human, she will become a beast form just because she lost all her strength, her body disintegrates, and then because she saved her mother and was contaminated with the breath of my clan, she will become a beast for this reason, but I don't know the specific situation. ”

Li Mu frowned, and then said with some surprise: "You said that you are the Purple Pupil Earth Spirit Tiger Clan?!"

Li Mu couldn't help but look at Zi'er again, he knew in his heart that even if he was a preliminary transformation, but as a natural divine beast, the Purple Pupil Earth Spirit Tiger Clan had the ability to fight beyond the ranks, not to mention looking at Li Mu's appearance at Zi'er, it didn't seem to be a simple strength in the early stage of transformation, if so, maybe he could match the Earth Spirit Realm martial artist is not just talking......

When Zi'er heard this, her head was raised high, quite proud, "Hehe, now you know how powerful I am, my strength is very strong, otherwise Sister Rourou wouldn't have asked me to protect you! I've lived in the Desolate Beast Mountain Range for so long, and I haven't met a guy who can defeat me!"

Li Mu nodded, he suddenly realized something, his mouth opened all of a sudden, his eyes stared at Zi'er on his shoulder, and he said in shock: "You little guy, you are from the Desolate Beast Mountain Range! Could it be that you are the purple-pupiled earth spirit tiger that is said to have fought with Dean Murong Bo without falling behind!"

When Zi'er heard this, she said disdainfully: "Cut, what does it mean not to fall behind, just rely on the strength of that old boy at the beginning of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, that is, to bully me at the beginning of the fifth-level strength, it is worthy of a tie with me, and now I am a real sixth-level strength, although the gap in the strength of the Heavenly Spirit Realm is huge, but even if that old boy wants to go through two moves in my hands now, it is impossible!"

Li Muden was petrified on the spot, he never thought that the little guy in front of him, who was not good-looking, would be the innate divine beast that he and Tong Yao sighed about, and the strength was comparable to that of Dean Murong Bo's purple-pupiled earth spirit tiger!

He couldn't help but recall the purple-pupiled Earth Spirit Tiger in his imagination at the beginning, and then looked at Zi'er on his shoulder, and immediately showed a strange look.

Although Zi'er's strength is high, his mind is like a child, he saw Li Mu's stunned gaffe, and he was a little proud, not noticing the strange look in Li Mu's eyes at this time......

One man and one beast, chatting all the way, in the blink of an eye, it was already close to the location of the Huiyu Palace.

Li Mu was talking to Zi'er with spiritual power, but suddenly noticed an old man in front of him, the old man was dressed in a black robe, but he seemed to have only one arm, his expression was indifferent, one arm was covered under the black robe, but his steps became slower and slower as Li Mu approached.

Li Mu faintly felt a little strange in his heart, and just when he was secretly puzzled, he suddenly sensed a murderous aura, only to see that the old man's eyes were gloomy, and he actually rushed directly to his position.

Li Mu's pupils suddenly shrank into a ball, just with such a terrifying speed and a faint sense of oppression, Li Mu already understood that the strength of this one-armed old man must be above the Earth Spirit Realm!

However, without waiting for Li Mu to respond, he saw a flash of yellow light, and the black-robed old man in front of him seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and his figure disappeared directly from Li Mu's sight!

At this time, Zi'er withdrew her raised tiger claws, pursed her lips, and sneered: "Cut, with this bit of strength, you still want to assassinate!"

When Li Mu heard this, he turned his head and asked, "Zi'er, the yellow light just now, could it be your ......?"

"Of course it's me, don't you think he just showed up and ran away!But Sister Rourou is right, your situation is indeed too dangerous, I just found you today, and I was assassinated! How much trouble have you caused?!"

Li Mu was not only stunned at this time, just now a yellow aura flashed, Li Mu didn't even feel how powerful the power was from that ray of aura, but just that ray of aura made the bones of an Earth Spirit Realm martial artist disappear, which was a little terrifying!

Of course, although Li Mu was shocked by Zi'er's terrifying strength at this time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised by his sudden attack, he squinted his eyes slightly, and secretly thought in his heart, whose handiwork was such a blatant assassination......

Li Mu thought to himself, he knew that although he was first in the qualifiers, he would not let ordinary people assassinate because of jealousy, so behind the comer, there were only two forces that could come from, one was the four masters of the family, such as Ye Gucun, who carried out the assassination because the successor was deposed, and the other was from Shangguan Baxiao, who cleared the obstacles for his own plan!

Thinking of this, Li Mu secretly woke up in his heart, although he didn't know which side the one-armed old man was ordered by, but he already understood that he was already in an absolute crisis right now!

Previously, he had always thought that he had the secret skill of concealing the breath, which was enough to save his life, but the current assassination undoubtedly clearly told Li Mu that even if he had the existence of the secret technique, it would be difficult to protect himself in the face of absolute strength.

If he was allowed to complete the disguise in advance, with his powerful soul power, even if he was a Heavenly Spirit Realm martial artist, if he didn't know about it in advance and deliberately searched it, otherwise it would be impossible to see the flaws, but once he was defenseless, he would definitely be overstretched and difficult to parry in the face of such a sudden assassination!

Zi'er didn't know the worries in Li Mu's heart, he thought that Li Mu was frightened by Fang Cai's assassination, he patted Li Mu's shoulder and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely protect you! Don't say it's a guy from the Earth Spirit Realm, even if it's a master of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, let them have no return!"

Li Mu looked at Zi'er, moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "Zi'er, although Rourou has a life-saving grace for you, but I have nothing to do with you, thank you for helping me so much, although you have my master-servant contract on your body, you don't have to call me master." ”

"I'm a few years older than you, you can call me big brother in the future!"

When Zi'er heard this, he directly transformed into a child's appearance, he scratched his little head, smiled, and shouted, "Big brother!"

Although he was entrusted by Li Rourou to move the master-servant contract to his body with a secret method, he didn't know what Li Mu's conduct was, and the reason why he was so decisive was more because he believed in Li Rourou.

At present, although he has not known Li Mu deeply, he faintly feels that his master may be much better than he imagined......

Five days later, the Imperial City Center Division, the God Battle Platform.

The second round of the knockout round had already begun, and at this time, Li Mu was already in the preparation seat, he quietly observed the patriarchs of several major families in the viewing seat, as well as Shangguan Baxiao on the golden jade platform, and thought to himself in his heart.

"Big brother, didn't you say before that the people who assassinated you were probably sent by those people? Why don't I settle them for you directly! In the contract space, Zi'er's voice came.

Li Mu replied helplessly: "Little guy, you can't be so reckless. ”

"First of all, I don't know who sent the black-robed old man; secondly, your strength is my biggest hole card now, it's best not to expose it, if I really fall into a life-and-death crisis, it's not too late for you to make a move;

"Hmph, even if he is the strength of the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, I am not afraid of him!"

"Babble~ Master, Zi'er is not obedient at all, no Xiaoluo is good, master, we don't want him. ”

"Hmph, you little bit, don't speak ill of me!"

"Babbling~ Zi'er is a little bit, Zi'er is still a little villain!"

Li Mu listened to the two little guys arguing again, and couldn't help but cover his head, he muttered to himself in his heart: When Rourou was here before, I didn't see Xiaoluo so unwelcome.

Five days ago, Li Mu wanted Zi'er to stay in the Heart Tower of the Scarlet Realm, just like Rourou at the beginning, but she never thought that Xiaoluo would be so angry that she pouted, she seemed very unwelcome to Zi'er's arrival, and finally Li Mu had no choice but to let Zi'er return to the contract space......

The knockout match on the field was in full swing, but the quarrel in Li Mu's mind did not stop for a moment, and in the end, Li Mu had to close the connection between the Heart Tower of the Scarlet Realm and the contract space, which made his head clear for a while.

As the competition progressed, more and more talented martial artists were eliminated, and the best of them also emerged.

During this period, Li Mu naturally appeared twice, but with his strength, there was naturally no surprise, and he had already won the game in two or three moves.

And Murong Yudie and Leng Miao also advanced. It was Murong Lingjin and Ling Yun, one of them encountered Mo Yuan, who was in the fourfold spirit realm of Baiye County, and the other directly encountered Shangguan Ziyun's girl, and they all ended in failure.

What is surprising is that Tong Yao faced Shen Mengchen, a genius of Burning Wu County, and won the victory again with his own strong strength!

The knockout system is a round competition system, and there were originally more than 200 people left in the preparation seat, but after only two rounds, it has been eliminated to the number of defenders and contestants stipulated in the competition system - 50 people!

And among these fifty people, except for Tong Yao, the strength of each of the remaining people was above the middle level of the Spirit Body Realm
