Chapter 821 Hunting

The volunteer was a member of the Blood Race.

Li Mu had killed one of the twelve princes of the Blood Race.

However, this member of the Blood Race was obviously more powerful than the twelve princes.

“I’m Cain, the lord of the Blood Race. Nice to meet you.”

The white man wearing a white tuxedo bowed gracefully to Li Mu. When he smiled, he showed two sharp fang-like teeth, which made his handsome face look somewhat evil and ferocious.

“You filthy creature.”

Li Mu did not have a good impression of this legendary species called the “Source of the Plague”. Rumor had it that the members of this species had been hiding in the dark and stirring up trouble and conflicts in the world.

This could be proven by the bit of memory that Li Mu gleaned from Konrad’s mind, a prince of the Blood Race that he killed back then.

He used the word “filthy” to describe Cain, the lord of the Blood Race, which obviously infuriated the latter.

“Only ignorant losers would evaluate the great Blood Race like that.”

Cain leaned on his gold deer-head cane and walked slowly toward Li Mu.

The floor of the swordsmanship contest square was as hard as divine iron, but he easily inserted the tip of this cane into the floor, which showed that his power was beyond imagination and the gold deer-head cane was not an ordinary equipment.

“You’re going to pay the price for your ignorance.”

Cain’s handsome face had an inexplicable evil aura. His left and right canines were as sharp as knives and seven or eight times longer than those of ordinary people. The two white canines protruded from his mouth.

“Let me see. Should I eat your heart first or suck out your bone marrow first?”

He slowly approached Li Mu with a strong oppressive aura unique to the Blood Race.

Li Mu drew out his Samsara Knife and pointed its tip at the ground.

He wouldn’t underestimate Cain.

After Cain watched Li Mu defeat Dongguo Qi with a single strike, he still dared to step up and declare that he would kill Li Mu. He was definitely not an ordinary person, but instead, he must be very confident. Moreover, he was surely more powerful than Dongguo Qi.

No one knew how long a monster like Cain had lived, how many changes he had gone through on Earth, and how many run ins, secrets and tricks he had encountered. Anyone who dared to underestimate Cain’s wisdom when it came to scheming would be risking his own life.

However...

Scheming was not enough.

In the world of martial arts, strength was highly valued and more important than tricks.

Li Mu thrust his broadsword out.

Hiss!

Cain was directly cut in half.

Li Mu was slightly shocked.

Suddenly, blood oozed out and turned into strands of cotton threads intertwined with each other. Then, the two halves of Cain’s body were miraculously stitched together into a complete body.

“Your attack is ineffective on me.”

Cain roared with laughter.

Li Mu saw a blur in front of his eyes.

His heart skipped a beat, and he raised his broadsword to block the attack.

Clang!

Sparks flew.

Cain’s hands turned into a pair of white-bone claws. He braced his claws against the blade of his broadsword.

Li Mu staggered a little. He gripped the back of his broadsword with his left palm.

Boom!

The tremendous force transferred through the back of his broadsword sent Cain’s body flying. His body was smashed into a mist of blood which dispersed in the air.

The droplets of blood expanded rapidly in the air and turned into tens of thousands of miniature Cains, which had the same power as that of the real body. These figures were not illusions. They squealed like night owls, producing endless ultrasonic waves, and charged at Li Mu from all directions.

Overwhelming killing intent permeated the air.

The look on Li Mu’s face changed slightly.

He quickly closed his ears, his earlobes covering the ear canals, to isolate all the sound waves. At the same time, he wielded his Samsara Knife and directly performed “Night Fighting with Eight Sides”, which was the most primitive and effective group-fighting broadsword skill. When performed by Li Mu, it was like a magical skill, and the white blade of the knife produced gusts of wind as it ripped through the air.

The thousands of miniature Cain figures in the sky exploded into fine powder in an instant.

Swoosh!

Li Mu heard the sound of wind behind him.

He raised his left hand and threw a punch without even looking back.

Bang!

The fist and the claw collided.

“Ha-ha, your reaction is very fast...”

Cain’s strange mocking laughter rang out behind Li Mu.

Sure enough, none of the thousands of figures that Li Mu had smashed was Cain’s real body.

Li Mu frowned slightly.

“The creatures of the Blood Race are indeed annoying.

“These creatures can be incarnated in countless forms and reborn with just one drop of blood. In the western world, they are collectively referred to as the Blood Race; in the immortal sects in the eastern world, they are called blood demons. In short, they are evil creatures. Cain is known as the ancestor of the Blood Race and has an almost undying body.

“Is the Blood Sea, one of the major forces in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region of the Ziwei Star Zone, related to the Blood Race on Earth?

“Now, it seems that Cain is much more powerful than the Saint of Blood Sea. Perhaps even the real lord of the Blood Sea is far from being a worthy opponent of Cain.

“Where has Cain been hiding on Earth in the long history of the Power-ending Age?”

Several thoughts flashed across Li Mu’s mind. He directly activated the Potential Realm of his broadsword.

The Potential Realm instantly extended and enveloped Cain, who was charging at Li Mu.

“Damn it.”

Cain let out a startled cry and prepared to perform the Blood Escape skill.

However, wind and snow filled the entire space within his range of sight and extreme cold froze all his strength, blood, and supernatural powers. He could no longer perform any of his skills.

“This damnable mob is so experienced in fighting!”

This thought flashed across Cain’s mind. At the next second, even his thoughts were frozen.

Li Mu held the broadsword with his right hand and produced a seal by moving the five fingers of his left hand. The mysterious power between heaven and earth gathered toward his left hand and evolved into silvery runes. It was a sealing technique.

He knew very well that even though he had frozen Cain with the Broadsword Intent of the Major Cold among the 24 Solar Terms, it was very difficult to kill Cain. He needed to seal the latter and refine the latter slowly.

He was quite experienced in dealing with the Blood Race.

However, right at that moment...

Awoo!

A wolf’s howl suddenly rang out.

Before the wolf howled, Li Mu already felt something on his shoulders. An Ice Wolf had planted a pair of huge white claws on his shoulders.

At the same time, he felt an irresistible tearing force.

His white sportswear was instantly torn into pieces and fluttered down like white butterflies. The sharp claws of the wolf tore the skin of his shoulders, leaving several bloody marks...

“Get lost!”

Li Mu roared angrily and suddenly leaned back.

Bang!

Crack! Crack!

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

A giant human-shaped white wolf more than two meters tall was sent flying for tens of meters.

“A surprise attack?”

Li Mu turned around and gazed at the giant human-shaped white wolf with killing intent in his eyes.

It was an Ice Wolf.

The appearance of this Ice Wolf was similar to that of the wolf from the Ice Plateau of the Far North Continent that Li Mu killed at the entrance to the Mogao Caves scenic area in Donghong, but this Ice Wolf was obviously more powerful. It could hurt Li Mu with its claws and make him bleed. It was a creature no less powerful than Cain.

“What does it feel like to bleed?”

The giant white wolf stood on its hind legs like a human being. It had snow-white fur and silvery claws and emitted a strong demonic aura. It was full of Qi and energy. It was a strange creature no less powerful than Cain, the ancestor of the Blood Race.

Li Mu cast a glance at the Cloud Light Saintess.

“Are you angry?”

The Cloud Light Saintess was floating in the air more than 10 meters above the ground.

Under her bare feet which was as white as snow, flowers with white pistils bloomed and disappeared repeatedly. There was a look of undisguised contempt on her flawless, proud, white face.

“Any mortal who challenges the authority of immortal sects can’t escape the fate of being hunted down. You don’t have to feel annoyed by the sneak attack because a lowly rebel like you doesn’t deserve to be treated fairly. You are destined to be hunted and tortured to death like a beast.”

“What a proud and stupid woman!”

Li Mu laughed. “You will regret it.”

“Really?” The Cloud Light Saintess sneered in disdain. “How dare you?”

Li Mu pointed the tip of his broadsword at her forehead from the distance. “Yes. I’m going to beat you up today.”

“You don’t have a chance.”

There was undisguised disdain and disgust for Li Mu on the beautiful face of the Cloud Light Saintess.

She said to the giant white wolf, “Go and tear him apart.”

“Yes, master.” The giant white wolf stuck out its tongue, licked Li Mu’s blood on its claws, and rushed toward Li Mu, saying, “Ah, fresh blood tastes so good. I’m going to have a good meal today.”

Li Mu said, “Really? How many bones in your chest are still intact?”

“Ha-ha-ha-ha.” The giant white Wolf guffawed. “The physical recovery abilities of Ice Plateau wolves are beyond the imagination of lowly mortals like you. You have wounds caused by my claws on your shoulders. Do you feel severe pain?”

Before the white wolf finished speaking, its smile suddenly froze.

It noticed that the wounds on Li Mu’s shoulders had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been injured.

“How could it be possible?”

Puncture wounds caused by a werewolf’s claws were not like simple scratches. Such wounds contained a poison that could make gods and ghosts panic and were very difficult to heal. Otherwise, werewolves wouldn’t have become the natural enemies of the so-called undying and indestructible Blood Race.

Rumor had it that only werewolves could kill the members of the Blood Race.

The giant white wolf couldn’t believe that the wounds caused by its claws had disappeared without a trace.

“Are you surprised? Come on. Let’s see if your claws are sharper than my knife or vice versa.”

Li Mu casually crooked his finger at the white wolf.

Awoo!

The enraged Ice Plateau wolf turned into a streak of white light which swirled around Li Mu.

Boom!

Cain, the lord of the Blood Race, who had been frozen by Li Mu’s Broadsword Intent, broke out of the incomplete seal.

The ultrasonic waves produced by Cain’s shrill screams closed in on Li Mu. At the same time, Cain began to transform. His white tuxedo suddenly ripped open, and he turned into a gigantic monster with black wings, a human body, and a bat’s head. As he spread his black wings, countless blood-red bats flew out and frantically charged at Li Mu.

“That’s a lame trick. Break!”

Li Mu opened his mouth. With a stir of his mind, countless fine wisps of Broadsword Intent burst out.

This time, it was the most powerful Broadsword Intent of the Great Heat.

In the hot summer air, countless white lines crisscrossed and sliced through the void like a chessboard. The blood-red bats burst into flames as soon as they were cut by the white lines. Then, they turned into ashes that disappeared in the air. None of them could get within ten meters of Li Mu’s body.

Li Mu was on high alert.

He wielded his Samsara Knife horizontally.

Clang!

Sparks flew.

Cain, who was in half-beast form, was sent flying, with the gold deer-head cane in his hand.
