Chapter Fifty-Nine: Alone, Miserable, and Demons
Seeing that more and more people were choosing to eliminate the outer demon beasts, Meng Wu's dark face showed a look of relief, and when the number reached one hundred, he waved his hand to stop the words of these disciples, and continued: "The disciples who went to slay the demons are enough, and the remaining people will follow me and directly kill the northern city to destroy these cruel first demons." The 100 of you are divided into groups of several people, sneaking into the city and killing the lone Primordial Demon Beast. Remember not to be reckless, and to save your own life. After clearing the first demons along the way, you will come to the north of the city to support our department. ”
After listening to his command, these disciples all said yes respectfully.
Immediately, Meng Wu nodded, waved his hand, and led the rest of the disciples towards the northern part of the city.
Most of the people who stayed here knew Li Mu, and even though many people wanted to team up with him to eliminate demons, he refused because he liked to act alone.
Among those people, some of them were angry after being rejected by him, so they muttered: "It's just that I relied on the power of the spirit rune to win the first place in martial arts, do you really think how powerful you are?" This voice is very vague to ordinary people, but in the ears of this group of innate martial artists, it seems extremely clear. When everyone heard this, their faces were different, and they didn't know what they were thinking, but no one came to look for him to form a team anymore.
Li Mu listened to these words in his ears, and there was no trace of turmoil in his heart. And this person's words had the effect he wanted, so he was still a little secretly happy.
After the main combat force led by Meng Wu went away, Li Mu took the lead in running towards the county seat.
At this time, it was already dawn, and the newborn sun was rising in the mountains, and while he was running, he was also paying attention to the movement of the Yuan Lingzhu. But today, the Yuan Lingzhu was quiet and did not move, and did not absorb the power of the rising sun like yesterday.
Although he was quite puzzled about this matter, he also knew that this was not the time to delve into it, so he continued to run towards the county seat in the distance.
As he ran, he carefully drew his sword and held it in his hand, stroked the storage bag on his waist with his other hand, and after confirming that everything was correct, he jumped high on the city wall, and then crouched down and looked vigilantly into the city.
Everywhere he looked, on the county city wall where he was standing, there were many corpse stumps, or a dead head, or hands and feet, scattered on the city wall, which looked very bloody and terrifying.
Although Li Mu has been a member of the sect for a long time and has killed people, it is the first time he has seen such a bloody scene. A blood-stained head was right in front of him, with lifeless eyes that seemed to be staring at him closely. He felt sick to his stomach and almost threw up.
Li Muqiang endured the discomfort in his heart, turned his head away from looking at the head, and looked towards the city.
The houses in front of him were all ruined and chaotic, and there were scattered corpses scattered in the streets, some places stained dark red with blood, telling of the tragedy that had happened there.
In the silence of a huge county town, there was no sound coming out, and in broad daylight, there was a strange and gloomy feeling.
Li Mu jumped off the city wall, and after walking to a house by the wall, his steps were extremely light, landing on the stone slab, without a single sound, and slowly walked towards the city.
Along the way, he saw many corpses that were in a miserable state of death, and these corpses were incomplete, apparently poisoned by those demon beasts. Seeing more of these severed limbs, he gradually got used to it, and he no longer vomited. But in his heart, a strong anger slowly rose, and the cruel behavior of these demon beasts aroused a strong killing intent in his heart.
Although Li Mu was angry in his heart, he was extremely calm on his face, but he took a more careful step and slowly explored and walked among the broken houses.
There was a bloody aura wafting in the air, and the tip of Li Mu's nose moved slightly, and he slowly walked towards the place where the bloody qi was heavier.
But just as he turned an alley and wanted to enter an inn, a beast's roar suddenly sounded!
The sound of this beast's roar was very loud, it seemed to come from not far away, and it was impossible to determine what kind of demon beast it was when he heard the sound, and when he heard this sound, his face changed, and he pressed his hand on the sword, and at the same time took out a few spirit runes from the storage bag.
Li Mu jumped onto the roof of the house next to him and scanned the surrounding streets vigilantly.
A moment later, a black and white demon beast figure smashed through a house, and then quickly pounced towards the place where he was.
The strong wind blowing in his face ruffled Li Mu's black hair, but his eyes were as calm as water, staring closely at the demon beast that flew over.
The monster's black and white fur was streaked, with a round head and short ears, strong limbs, and long dark claws that streaked through the air, as if to tear the space apart.
This beast's eyes were red, it looked very weird, and at this time, it was staring at Li Mu tightly, and there was blood falling between the opening and closing of the big mouth, which looked very brutal.
As soon as the demon beast jumped, it jumped over a distance of more than ten zhang, and the ten long claws on its two front legs flashed red, and they grabbed at the top of Li Mu's head.
Li Mu didn't dare to use his sword to meet its attack, and as soon as the true qi under his feet moved, he stepped on the tile wood on the roof, and his body descended straight down. The leopard demon beast's whole body was only more than four feet long, but the big hole that Li Mu made out was a long and wide one, and the beast missed the blow, and it fell into the inn below with Li Mu's body.
Li Mu rolled quickly after landing on the ground, then stood up, stimulated his true qi and stabbed straight towards the place where the leopard demon beast fell.
The demon beast was in the air at this time, unable to twist its body, facing Li Mu's sword, it had nowhere to hide, its eyes were red, and it suddenly let out a strong roar, and then it actually swung its right claw and hit Li Mu's sword fiercely.
Li Mu frowned, and the tip of the sword that stabbed straight into its right eye was crooked by this claw, stabbing the back of this demon beast. The feeling of defeat from the sword was like a mid-defeat, but it couldn't move an inch at all.
However, he could clearly feel that the power coming from the right claw of this beast was not too great, and it seemed that it was not comparable to the power between his hands. This leopard-shaped demon beast is indeed the same as its species, and it is known not for its strength but for its speed.
The demon beast was beaten to the back by Li Mu, although it did not pierce its tough fur, but the true qi on the sword still hit it very painfully. As soon as it landed, it turned around with extreme agility and pounced fiercely towards Li Mu's location.
Li Mu chose this narrow room to fight against it in order to weaken the beast's extremely fast advantage from the side, and instead expand his advantage. Sure enough, although this leopard-shaped demon beast was fast, it could only play half of it in such a narrow terrain.
Li Mu relied on his body skills to run around the small building, kicking up the tables, chairs and benches in it from time to time, and smashing them into the leopard demon behind. This demon beast has low intelligence, but it is only equivalent to a child of three or four years old. At this time, when he was angry, he subtracted another tenth. In its blood-red eyes, there was only Li Mu's erratic figure, and it only cared about chasing after Li Mu, but it didn't think about leaving this room and fighting Li Mu again.
Li Mu's face was extremely calm, although it was the first time he faced a demon beast, there was no trace of turmoil in his heart. In just a few breaths, he saw through the weakness of this leopard demon and adopted the tactics of fighting indoors. The mental comparison between the two is like the comparison between a fool and a wise man, and the difference cannot be calculated. What's more, at this moment, this fool is still angered by the wise man, and only cares about chasing the figure of the wise man, but he does not consider his mistakes at all.
After the leopard demon chased Li Mu for a while, it seemed that it was a little weak and began to slow down, Li Mu immediately noticed the change in it, turned around, and turned to attack this leopard demon.
Under Li Mu's sword, the originally tough fur of this leopard demon was gradually broken by him, and blood flowed out. But under the pain, the leopard demon not only did not cowardly, but continued to attack Li Mu even more angrily.
Li Mu's eyes were vicious, and his sword was accurate, and he stabbed at a direction on the leopard demon's body every time. The gap in the fur of that place that was broken by him was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more blood flowed out of it, but this leopard demon dragged its bleeding body, and continued to attack Li Mu without any retreat.
It's just that its speed is getting slower and slower, and the speed and strength between its legs are getting smaller and smaller, so it can't pose any threat to Li Mu at all.
Half an hour later, Li Mu looked at the leopard demon who was seriously injured and dying, and the red light in his eyes slowly receded, and slashed it with a sword expressionlessly, cutting off its hairy and extremely round head.
After stopping the blood from this skull, Li Mu put it in a storage bag. Then he stopped looking at the still twitching corpse of the leopard demon, steamed the blood on the sword with his true qi, and walked cautiously towards another street.
Li Mu's steps were not fast, and as he walked, he carefully felt all the movements around him with his five senses, which were much stronger than ordinary innate martial artists.
Half an hour later, a rat demon took advantage of his unpreparedness and wanted to sneak attack it, but he discovered it first, and then the two were entangled together.
This rat demon is several laps larger than ordinary domestic cats, with a black body, thin claws between its feet, and large teeth in its mouth are also very sharp and slender, and its speed is much faster than the previous leopard demon between bounces.
Although its speed was fast, in terms of attack power, it was a few points weaker than the leopard demon just now, so it didn't cause much trouble to Li Mu, and was soon slashed by his sword. After removing a pair of its front teeth, Li Mu continued to carefully explore the other area.
It didn't take long for another demon beast to let out a loud roar and run straight in the direction of Li Mu.
When he got closer, Li Mu found that this was a monster beast with red hair and the appearance of a wild boar. This demon beast is huge, more than a foot long, several feet high, much taller than ordinary war horses, two fangs with a foot long protruding from its mouth, looking very hideous.
At this time, the pig demon let out an earth-shattering roar and rushed towards Li Mu, with a momentum like a rainbow and an extremely heavy shape. Li Mu estimated that if he was hit head-on by it, he would inevitably be seriously injured.
He didn't dare to be careless, and his toes gushed out, and he jumped up, jumped onto a nearby house, and looked at the wild boar condescendingly.
