How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

"Illusion Blade!"

With a low shout, the Flying Dagger flashed and split in two, transforming into two flowing sword blades that shot towards the remaining two men.

At the same time, the white-clad figure moved like a ghost, his feet treading on arcs of electricity as he sped past. Two bolts of lightning burst forth from his palms, striking first despite being behind.

"boom!"

With a thunderous roar, the two burly men had two charred holes in their chests, and blood was gushing from their throats. They died before they could even utter a scream.

Li Muyun flicked the blood off the flying knife and put it away. The five-man pursuit team was now completely wiped out!

After searching everyone's bodies, Li Muyun curled his lip in disgust. These small fry didn't have anything valuable, just some gold and silver, which were no longer of any interest to Li Muyun.

Back in the cave behind the waterfall, Li Muyun found that Li Xianjiu had already started packing her things. "Good, their advance party has found this place. We won't be able to stay here for long."

A cold glint flashed in Li Xianjiu's eyes as she said, "There's no need to wait until I've recovered my full strength. A half-step Golden Core cultivator is enough to deal with a Heavenly Profound Realm Level 1 opponent."

Li Muyun smiled slightly, his eyes turning sinister, "Old dog Yang Xi, we're here!"

After tidying everything up, the two looked around the cave where they had lived together for nearly half a month and were actually a little reluctant to leave.

"Little Yunyun, after all, it's been here for so long, let's give it a name," Li Xianjiu said softly.

Scenes from the past between the two flashed through Li Muyun's mind. He didn't know whether he was reluctant to leave the cave or the fairy in hemp clothing beside him. Shaking his head, Li Muyun said softly, "This Miaoshan is surrounded by beautiful flowers and fragrant fruit trees, so let's call it Flower and Fruit Mountain; this cave is full of spiritual energy and is hidden behind the Water Curtain, so let's call it Water Curtain Cave."

"Good name!"

Li Xianjiu's beautiful eyes lit up slightly. She raised her gaze and saw a stone tablet. A flash of sword light appeared in her hand, and an ancient longsword appeared. She activated her true essence, and the sword light of the longsword rushed, and ten large characters appeared on the stone tablet.

"Huaguo Mountain is a blessed land, and Water Curtain Cave is a celestial paradise."

"This place has everything: stone pots, stone stoves, stone bowls, stone basins, stone beds, and stone benches. Let them all be left to those who are destined to find them!"

Li Xianjiu chanted an incantation, and the ancient longsword swelled to a length of ten feet in the wind. The two stepped onto the sword, broke through the water curtain, and flew away into the sky.

......

Night fell, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the place was cold and quiet.

A large tent stands tall in the dense jungle, with a large flag flying above it: "Wilderness Demon Hunting Group".

Two figures quietly arrived outside the tent. In the pitch-black night, blood had already splattered everywhere along the way. Ten assassins and five squads had all perished.

Once Li Xianjiu made her move, her opponent didn't even have a chance to resist. The Sword Immortal, who had been suppressing his emotions for so long, now had his blade stained with blood.

With Li Muyun's current strength at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, these were merely martial artists at the fifth or sixth level of Earth Profound Realm. Even under ten times the gravity, Li Muyun could easily kill them in a few rounds. He hadn't encountered a true opponent on this journey.

"Fairy Li, leave Yuwen Zhan to me."

After Li Muyun finished speaking, he lightly tapped the ground with his foot, gave a cold smile, and stepped into the tent.

"Commander Yuwen, how have you been?"

Upon hearing this voice, Yuwen Zhan abruptly stood up, his eyes fixed on the white-robed youth who had entered the tent. His expression changed drastically, and he roared, "Li Muyun? You dare to come back to die!"

"Didn't you send out five squads, ten assassins, to find me? Now you don't need to look for me, I'm coming to find you."

The white-robed youth's storage ring flashed, and dozens of bloody ears were thrown to the ground. He grinned and stretched his neck a couple of times, staring intently at Yuwen Zhan.

"No wonder none of them came back to report today. Did you kill them?" Yuwen Zhan's eyes narrowed, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

“It’s us.” Li Muyun smiled slightly. “Have you forgotten the Drunken Sword Immortal? But dealing with you won’t require your help, Fairy. I can handle it alone.”

Looking at his severed arm, Yuwen Zhan's eyes flashed with a ferocious killing intent. He said coldly, "How dare you! You little beast, you cut off my arm, causing my strength to drop to the ninth level of the Earth Profound Realm. I swear I will grind you to dust!"

As he spoke, Yuwen Zhan grabbed the newly forged giant axe beside him, his true energy surging up, and he slashed at Li Muyun as if splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

Feeling the pressure from Yuwen Zhan, a ninth-level Earth Profound Martial Master, Li Muyun excitedly licked his lips. The previous weaklings were too weak to allow him to show his true strength. This time, Yuwen Zhan, a ninth-level Earth Profound Martial Master, was the perfect opportunity for him to test his current true strength.

"Rabbit God, please remove the tenfold gravity."

Silently in his heart, he asked the Long-Eared Immortal to remove ten times the gravity. Li Muyun's body suddenly felt lighter. He moved his body slightly, and the bones inside his body made a cracking sound. He opened his palm, and a brilliant golden light flashed in his hand. A layer of golden energy that seemed to be in reality appeared on his fist. With a flash of lightning under his feet, Li Muyun rushed forward!

"You are looking for death!"

Upon realizing that Li Muyun intended to confront him head-on, Yuwen Zhan grinned and roared, unleashing his inner energy once more as he swung his giant axe down with one arm, aiming a fierce blow at Li Muyun's head.

Facing the oncoming giant axe, Li Muyun suddenly unleashed his brilliant golden fist, the golden energy colliding with the giant axe to create a tremendous roar.

Li Muyun took five steps back, then slammed his right foot into the ground, stopping abruptly with a thud.

Yuwen Zhan also staggered back five steps, feeling a slight numbness in his tiger's mouth. His face was full of shock. This young cultivator's physical strength was in no way inferior to his.

However, Li Muyun's attacks came one after another. As the flying dagger shot out, Li Muyun slammed his palms into the ground, and countless blue-purple cracks appeared on the ground instantly.

"Kid, you really think you have the strength to challenge me? Die!"

Yuwen Zhan gripped his giant axe tightly and roared, "Low-grade Spirit Martial Skill: Gale Axe Technique!"

The giant axe flew up and down in Yuwen Zhan's hand, and his body was also shrouded in violent true qi blade winds. He was like a bulldozer, crushing everything in the tent and even the flying dagger was deflected. Only Li Muyun remained unmoved.

"Thunder Magic - Thunder Prison!"

Li Muyun suddenly clenched his fist, and countless bolts of lightning exploded from the ground, instantly shattering the entire tent and turning it into a lightning cage that imprisoned Yuwen Zhan.

Yuwen Zhan crashed into the lightning prisoner, sparks flying everywhere. He shuddered from the shock and let out a scream of pain. Holding his axe, his eyes bloodshot, he roared, "Trapped me? You're dreaming!"

After saying that, a large amount of true energy surged onto the giant axe, which emitted a thick white light. Yuwen Zhan's aura also reached a new peak. He spun the giant axe and fiercely slashed at Lei Qiu, shouting, "Break!"

Li Muyun took a deep breath, a flash of lightning appearing in his dark pupils. A dark cloud materialized in the sky, and he coldly uttered four words:

"Thunder Magic - Heavenly Punishment!"
