BXBX NOVEL Chapter 39 - I Gave You Opportunities, But You Didn't Cherish Them
It remained fixed on him.
Clearly, the target was him.
Luo Mu jumped down from the spirit horse.
The spirit horse cleverly walked aside.
After a brief assessment, he found that the two blocking his path were not particularly strong.
They were only at the True Qi Realm Ninth Layer.
Just like that disciple from the Sword Sect.
What puzzled Luo Mu was that he shouldn’t have offended anyone.
Any grievances had been dealt with on the spot.
Just like earlier.
Even if someone were to seek revenge later, it wouldn’t happen so quickly.
“Changle Academy, outer academy disciple, Luo Mu.”
One of them spoke up, “True Qi Realm Fifth Layer, yet you have comprehended the great momentum of martial arts; your talent can be called monstrous.”
Upon hearing this,
Luo Mu raised an eyebrow.
It seemed they were indeed waiting specifically for him, even knowing his name.
“Who are you?”
Luo Mu placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
As the saying goes, those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.
These two didn’t even show their faces.
It seemed they were not decent people.
Moreover, he sensed a familiar smell from them, similar to those demonic martial artists from the previous base.
“If you want to know, just walk forward. My elder has been waiting for a long time.”
The person replied.
“What if I don’t go?”
Luo Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Life is full of choices. Some choices, if seized, can benefit you for a lifetime.”
The person’s mouth curved slightly under the mask, “We come with sincerity; why not try trusting us just this once?”
As the words fell,
the atmosphere in the woods suddenly fell silent.
The only sound was the subtle munching of grass by the spirit horse nearby.
A gust of wind blew, sending leaves swirling to the ground.
“Boring.”
Luo Mu took a deep breath and lightly uttered these two words.
The next second!
Swish!
The long blade was drawn!
Terrifying blade light instantly swept through the entire forest path.
Thud!
The long blade returned to its sheath!
In less than half a breath, its position seemed as though it had never moved.
Crash!
Before the two could react, they shattered into pieces on the ground.
“I gave you opportunities, but you didn’t cherish them.”
Luo Mu’s gaze was indifferent.
It was nonsensical to block his path without clear communication and to act mysteriously.
He had no patience for that.
Additionally, the smell on these two was very similar to the previous demonic martial artists at the base; it was undoubtedly demonic.
That made it even more impossible to walk forward.
Who knew if there were traps or anything?
With the demons appearing here, it was likely there were no good intentions, so he should act directly!
“Good courage!”
A powerful aura surged from the front!
Startled, the spirit horse’s legs went weak and it fell to the ground.
Luo Mu remained standing.
But his long black hair was blown wildly by this aura.
A figure appeared ahead.
Surrounded by dense black energy.
Wherever the black energy touched, whether the ground or the trees, it would corrode, creating a shocking sight.
“Indeed, it’s the demonic path!”
Luo Mu’s eyes darkened.
And it was… in the Spirit Sea Realm!
Spirit Sea Realm martial artists cultivate true energy.
And due to the nature of their techniques, demons would generate equally powerful demonic energy.
Luo Mu hadn’t expected there would actually be demons in the Spirit Sea Realm.
Were these demons blocking the path because of the base incident?
That seemed unlikely.
All the demonic martial artists in the base had been killed, with not a single survivor, so news about him wouldn’t spread.
Wait.
Luo Mu recalled the words of the two from earlier.
They mentioned the great momentum of martial arts.
He had displayed the great momentum of martial arts back in Xunyang City.
“Our sect comes with goodwill, yet you dare to draw your blade and kill?”
The figure spoke.
The surrounding demonic energy slightly thinned, revealing its true form.
It was a middle-aged man.
His skin was pale and bloodless.
On his left cheek was a red moon tattoo.
“The Red Moon Demon Sect!”
Luo Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Within the imperial territory, there are three major demon sects.
The Red Moon is one of them.
They worship the legendary Red Moon Demon God.
Those from the previous base belonged to the Red Moon Demon Sect, but they weren’t true followers.
But this person before him was.
His face bore a significant tattoo.
The tattoo wasn’t casually done; it was said to possess special powers.
“I’m asking you a question!”
The middle-aged man’s voice turned icy, laced with killing intent!
These two were not ordinary subordinates.
They were his… disciples!
Yet, in just a moment of distraction, they were directly killed!
Without any chance to react!
“Those two couldn’t even speak clearly; living in this world is a waste of air, a waste of resources. Helping you deal with them is a kindness.”
“How can you blame me?”
Luo Mu’s lips curled up slightly.
“Sharp-tongued!”
The middle-aged man’s expression darkened suddenly.
After all, he knew what kind of character his disciples had.
Sometimes they liked to say half a sentence and leave half unsaid.
But he hadn’t paid too much attention.
Who would have thought that he would encounter someone so… impatient today!
“Don’t think that just because you’ve comprehended the great momentum of martial arts, you’re invincible,”
the middle-aged man stopped thinking further; his voice grew icy, “Even if you can contend with ordinary Spirit Sea Realm martial artists, I am not a beginner in the Spirit Sea; I am at the Fourth Layer! Suppressing you is merely a matter of raising my hand!”
“Now, I’ll give you two choices!”
“The first is to join our sect and accept the magic seed; then today’s matter will be forgotten, and we will be colleagues from now on.”
“The second…”
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, “Then you die!”
Upon hearing this,
Luo Mu instantly understood.
These demons blocking the way today were entirely because of how outstanding he had performed in Xunyang City!
They had come halfway to ‘snatch him’ from the academy.
It was not about the base matter.
What puzzled Luo Mu was when did these people start following him?
If they had been following him since he left Xunyang City,
then they should know what happened at Zhan Wang Xia today.
With a solid eighty percent Sword Intent, plus the Supreme Grade Wusheng Sword Classic
, unless this person also had the great momentum of martial arts, even a Spirit Sea Realm Fourth Layer would likely die on the spot.“Tell me your choice!”
The middle-aged man had little patience; the deaths of his two disciples filled him with killing intent.
He didn’t care much for his disciples.
Instead, they were… puppets!
He had trained them for so long, intending to turn them into puppets!
Yet now they had been reduced to ashes!
“With the saying of factions, I have grown up in the light.”
Luo Mu shrugged.
A smile appeared on his face.
“Stubborn and unyielding, then die!”
The middle-aged man understood.
The killing intent in his eyes was no longer concealed; he charged at Luo Mu.
The demonic energy surged like black clouds pressing down on the city.
Luo Mu took a half-step back with his left leg, his body leaning slightly forward, taking a stance to draw his sword.
At the same time.
Boom!
A full eighty percent Sword Intent surged forth!
It pressed down on a radius of several hundred meters!
Crack!
Large ancient trees could not withstand this aura, toppling down, and the ground was covered with dense blade marks!
What?!
The middle-aged man, who had previously shown a face full of killing intent, instantly stopped in his tracks.
He felt as if he had fallen into a swamp.
“What is this?”
The middle-aged man looked up, disbelief in his eyes.
He knew Luo Mu had comprehended Sword Intent.
But according to the intelligence, it was only a ten percent Sword Intent.
Perhaps it could contend with martial artists who had just entered the Spirit Sea.
But it absolutely could not contend with him, a Fourth Layer in the Spirit Sea Realm!
But now!
This was definitely not just a ten percent Sword Intent!
At least it was eighty percent!
