Chapter 4 (1/2)
Tords were engraved on the shaft of the arrow – Death Shadow Li Mu’s pupils constricted
“Friends of the Death Shadow Clan, please show yourselves I, Li Mu, do not recall having offended anyone from your clan, so why are you here to assassinate me?”
Li Mu’s gaze was like lightning, pointed tightly at the distant forest
The Death Shadow Clan, a large assassination organization whose influence spans widely across Muyun City and several of the other cities around it Rumor said that the head of the clan was a martial artist in the Xiantian Realm
The Death Shadow Clan specializes in assassination tasks They accept tasks regardless of a person’s background or identity, so long as money is forked out, there’s no one that cannot be killed
Although Li Mu ht not have traveled far, their power of influence within Muyun City was so he understood In an instant, he was able to identify his attackers on the sight of the two carved words
“Hahaha Nothing less froenius of the Li fa age”
Against the loud call froures walked out of the distant forest These five figures each wore a black unifor on their back and a powerful crossbow in their hands
“Gentleht, Li Mu felt pressured Despite the fact that he could not use his essence, the characteristic of a Houtian Real the five, three were in the Tenth Point of Guti, one had just entered the Houtian Realm, and the last was an experienced martial artist in the Houtian Realm
“The Death Shadow Clan has always been acceptingmisfortune to others Kid, you did not offend us of the Death Shadow Clan, but you’ve offended our client Someone spent fifty thousand silvers for your head Do not blame us for your death!”
The five disciples of the Death Shadow Clan slowly closed in on Li Mu The one who h was no doubt the lead and the strongest a the five whose cultivation had attained the mid level of the Houtian Realm
“Fifty thousand silvers What a big sum! The handicapped me whose life would soon wither is actually worth some, could you make known to me this person who is thirsty for my head?”
“Kid, do not think of getting any information from us The Death Shadow Clan has a nu our client’s infor taboo Since you’re now at death’s door, why don’t you just die with a peace of mind? But I shall tell you my code number before you do I’m Forty-nine”
With that, the lead gestured and the other four cocked their crossbows before ai at Li Mu
Subconsciously, Li Mu retreated But at this moment, he was at the peak of the Sunset Peak Any further and he would be at the edge of the cliff With only a few steps back and there would no longer be any footing left for him
“Today, I shall surrender to your hands But I’h many do know that I cannot usethe Li family, other than a few of the Li et wind of this?”
“Well, since you’re about to die, then I shall do you a little bit of good You’ve guessed right, the one behind your assassination is indeed from the Li family, but as for who, you’ll have to ask the lord of the underworld!!!”
After shadow nuht yellow One of the lowed bright yellow and a sword ie fored himself at Li Mu
“Clank!” The sound of tords clashi+ng resonated With only physical strength alone, Li Mu blocked the inco sword strike But because of his inability to use his essence, using physical strength alone would not be able to go against shadow number forty-nine From the strike, Li Mu was pushed a few steps back and he found himself with nowhere else to retreat Behind hierous lofty cliff
“Can’t you just let o? When I return to the Li household, you shall be rewarded for your goodwill!” Looking at the lofty cliff, and then back at the five disciples of the Death Shadow Clan, Li Mu clenched his fist tight There was a sense of unwillingness
“If we let you go, do you think we’ll still be allowed to live? Off with your life!” Grabbing the crossbow behind his back, shadow number forty-nine took an iron arrow fro of essence into the it
With the essence of shadow nu aura could be felt out of the iron feathered arrow
Sensing the terror, Li Mu’s face darkened as he looked at the five attackers But before his attacker could shoot the arrow, Li Mu decisively turned and jumped off the lofty cliff
In front was a thick whiterapidly past his ear For the first tih the alaroing past his face felt mysteriously wonderful
Recalling the ups and downs in his rather short life, those experiences flashed in hisalive was a chore Despite thehis mother, the masternorant longing to walk the martial arts route, all these would eventually become a bubble today
The sound of the rapid wind going past his ear continued But right after Li Mu was prepared and aiting for his death, an invisible force suddenly sprung at hiy As it did so, all Li Mu felt was as if the world around hi
Li Mu was dizzy and felt a throbbing pain in his head But before he had the strength to observe his surrounding, his eyes closed and he fainted
On the peak of the Sunset Peak, shadow nu off the cliff was out of their reckoning
“Lead, that kid just leaped off the cliff I’m afraid the client won’t be too happy about this ah”
Worried, a disciple of the Death Shadow Clan voiced his concerns to the lead
“He jumped off by himself The bottom of the cliff cannot be seen from the cliff on the peak of the Sunset Peak Not just that kid from the Houtian Realm, even if it were to be a martial artist from the Xiantian Real off froht When we return, we’ll say e have to I believe the other party would not s difficult for the Death Shadow Clan because of this!” Shadow nu back, the five left
