The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 148 The Fire Qilin Is Not a Fire Demon

It didn't take much effort for Duanlang to discover the Firescale Sword after scraping away a pile of floating dirt in front of the bones.

The Huolingjian is three feet and one inch long, about two fingers wide, and is red all over.

As soon as Duanlang held it in his hand, he exuded an incomparably hot breath, which made the cave, which was already quite hot, even more stuffy.

Duanlang caressed the sword with joy, and Nie Feng, who was beside him, was also happy for his good friend, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Duanlang."

Duan Lang happily nodded to him, then held the Fire Scale Sword upside down, knelt down in front of the corpse again, and said solemnly: "Father, if you find the Fire Scale Sword, you must revive the reputation of Nan Lin's sword head. Your spirit in the sky, please rest in peace Bar!"

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three times, then did not get up, turned around to face Li Mu, kowtowed again and said: "The sect leader's kindness to Duan Lang is as great as a mountain, and Duan Lang is willing to go through fire and water for the sect master, even if he dies."

Li Mu stepped forward to help him up, and said gratifiedly, "Get up, if you pick up the Firescale Sword again, there is hope for Duanjia to rise again, and I am also happy for you."

"But the old man has something to say, you still need to keep it firmly in your heart."

Duanlang lowered his head and cupped his fists and said, "Please teach me, Master."

Li Mu said seriously: "You must know that this Fire Scale Sword has a lot to do with the Fire Demon. The so-called Fire Demon is actually an ancient fire unicorn."

"The Firescale Sword got its name because the scale of the fire unicorn is inlaid on the blade, so this sword contains a strong demonic nature."

"The scales of the fire unicorn can generate a strange force by itself, which can increase the skill of the person holding the sword. It is even more powerful when combined with the family-breaking eclipse sword technique."

"However, if you hold the sword for a long time, it will appear that the sword controls people's hearts, causing people to have demonic thoughts and it is difficult to extricate themselves. If you can't keep your mind clear, it is not the person who controls the sword, but the sword controls people."

"So in the future, the Firescale Sword should not be easily unsheathed, and it should not be used as a conventional weapon. It is best used as a killer weapon at the bottom of the box."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Duanlang's expression was solemn, and Nie Feng who was beside him suddenly said, "Master, my Nie family's Bingxin Art can keep people's mind clear."

"I am willing to pass on the Bingxin Jue to Duanlang to help him control the Firescale Sword, but the Bingxin Jue I have learned is not complete. Maybe the effect is not that strong, but it should be somewhat effective."

Hearing this, Duan Lang looked gratefully at Nie Feng and nodded to him.

Li Muxin said: "That's right, the Nie family's Ice Heart Art is the best way to fight against the fire unicorn's demonic nature. Feng'er, you are willing to take the initiative to use it. I am very pleased as a teacher."

"Duanlang, you need to practice more diligently in the future, and always keep your mind clear. When your skill is getting deeper and reaching the level of your father, you will be able to control the Firescale Sword perfectly."

Duan Lang cupped his fists and bowed: "I would like to follow the instructions of the leader."

Li Mu took off the cloak and handed it to Duanlang, saying: "Wrap up your father's bones first, and then take them out for burial when you leave, and let the others rest."

Duanlang said gratefully: "Thank you, Chief."

Duan Lang took the cloak, first pulled out his personal saber that was lying aside, and then inserted the Firescale Sword into its sheath.

As soon as the Huoscale Sword left Duanlang's hand, the fiery aura immediately subsided.

His portable saber was built according to the specifications of the Firescale Sword, and the scabbard fits perfectly with the Firescale Sword.

He asked the gang for a rope, cut two pieces, tied one at the upper and lower ends of the scabbard, and then carried the Firescale Sword on his back, and tied the two ends of the rope in a knot in front of his chest.

After carrying the Firescale Sword on his back, he put the fine steel sword in the shape of the Firescale Sword aside, and then stepped forward to wrap his father's bones with Li Mu's cloak, forming a burden.

Helping everyone find a place to sit down, drink water and eat dry food, Nie Feng fetched a piece of dry food and water, handed it to Li Mu, and said, "Master, let's eat something!"

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No need."

Nie Feng said in surprise: "Master, you haven't eaten a single grain of rice or touched a drop of water since morning, are you neither thirsty nor hungry?"

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said: "It's not just today, from the time I left Tianxiahui to today, who of you have ever seen the leader of this clan eat and drink water?"

"what!?"

Nie Feng and Duanlang who walked back to Li Mu's side after finishing their work, were both taken aback. The "ah" was full of surprise and doubt.

The members of the gang were also discussing in low voices. After asking each other, they found out that in the past 20 days, no one had seen the leader of the gang eating or drinking, and they couldn't help being horrified.

Li Mu said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, when you practice martial arts to a certain level, you can fast. You can also do it in the future. Eat it yourself! Don't worry about being a teacher."

"Yes." Nie Feng replied blankly, and sat down with Duanlang, who was equally confused.

Li Mu walked through the holes one by one, secretly using Tianshuang's boxing technique, and carefully sensed the intensity of the firepower emitted by each channel.

While eating dry food with clear water, Duanlang said softly: "I really don't know what level the leader's martial arts has reached."

"Bigu, isn't it rumored that Taoist practitioners can only do it when their cultivation reaches an extremely high level?"

Nie Feng also said softly: "Even a Taoist practitioner who is rumored to be able to make bigu needs at least a glass of water every day, but Master doesn't even drink water."

The more the two discussed, the more awe they felt towards Li Mu, not to mention those helpers.

After turning around, Li Mu suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, instead of looking for Huo Qilin everywhere like this, it is better to let it come to the door by itself.

Glancing around the crowd, he didn't act immediately, but waited for the crowd to finish their meal and rested for a while before walking to the center of the cave.

"Everyone sit where you are and don't move, use your internal energy to resist the cold."

After Li Mu gave an order, he clenched his hands into fists and crossed his chest, and a chilly breath radiated instantly, causing the temperature in the cave to drop drastically.

Li Mu's fists were icy blue, and the infinite coldness continued to rise. The next moment, Li Mu's fists alternated and continuously blasted in all directions.

There were no loud noises or splashes of earth and rocks, but every time Li Mu punched out, a thick layer of ice appeared on the wall of the cave out of thin air.

In an instant, the entire wall of the cave was covered by a layer of ice several feet thick, making the space of the cave several circles smaller.

Even the passages in those caves have ice spreading in.

If the temperature in the cave was no lower than [-] degrees before, the temperature in the cave at this moment is by no means higher than [-] degrees, and it is even dropping rapidly.

Nie Fengduanlang and his helpers understood the meaning of Li Mu's words, and quickly activated their internal energy to resist the huge temperature difference.

For ordinary people, if they suddenly switch from extremely hot to extremely cold, they may have problems in a short time.

After Li Mu made this cave into an ice cave, he slapped the cave entrances with soft palms.

This palm wind will not cause any destructive power, but it will blow the cold air far along the various passages.

At first, everyone didn't understand why Li Mu did this. It wasn't until a moment later, when a beast roared faintly from the depths of the cave, that everyone understood.

Nie Feng suddenly said: "It turns out that the Huo Qilin is surrounded by flames all year round, so it naturally hates water. This is also the reason why water flooded the knees of the Buddha and burned Lingyun Cave."

"Since I hate water so much, I feel even more disgusted with the icy air. Master's move is to lure the fire unicorn out."

Li Mu said in a deep voice: "That's right, the Huo Qilin is coming, everyone be careful, go to the back, you can't deal with this beast."

All the gang members ran behind Li Mu as they said, only Nie Feng and Duan Lang, who was holding the steel long sword, stood half a step behind Li Mu from left to right.

"Roar……"

In a short while, the roar of the beast became much closer, and a strong fire rushed towards the face, causing the ice in the passage and the cave to begin to melt.

In this way, Li Mu also knew which passage Huo Qilin came out from.

The icy aura above Li Mu's fists became more and more intense, and his eyes were fixed on one of the caves on the mountain wall.

"Boom boom boom..."

Accompanied by the sound of heavy hooves, the passageway was full of flames. Before the fire unicorn itself arrived, the flames had already rushed out along the passageway.

Without any hesitation, Li Mu struck out his fists quickly and continuously, blasting Tianshuang's punches into the passage continuously.

The raging flames gushing out of the passage were immediately suppressed and extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ice layer in the passage became thicker and thicker.

"Roar……"

The roar of the beast was so close that it was quite deafening, and the entire cave vibrated slightly.

After a few breaths, everyone finally saw that a huge red beast appeared in their sight.

The lion's head, antlers, tiger's eyes, elk body, dragon scales, and oxtail are exactly the image of the legendary unicorn.

Nie Feng and Duanlang also saw it more than ten years ago, but that time the Huo Qilin was completely shrouded in flames, and they couldn't see clearly what the real body of this so-called fire demon looked like.

This time, they took advantage of Li Mu's Tianshuang Fist to suppress the flames around Huo Qilin, and they finally saw the appearance of Huo Qilin clearly.

"Roar……"

Although Tianshuang Fist could suppress the flames on the Huo Qilin, it could not completely extinguish it, nor could it cause any substantial damage to it.

The Huo Qilin's physical strength is also not weak, Li Mu can't let it get close.

Although he himself has the mighty strength of the fifteen-level Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu, others cannot compete with the Fire Qilin.

So Li Mu dissipated the strength of the Tianshuang Fist, drew a circle with his palms on his chest, and joined them in his abdomen.

Due to the high degree of condensation, a transparent water ball-shaped air mass about the size of a basketball condensed between his palms.

It is three points to the vitality.

The moment Huo Qilin rushed out of the passage, Li Mu pushed forward with both palms without hesitation, and the air mass passed by in a flash.

"bang"

With a muffled sound, the air mass bombarded the Huo Qilin's head impartially, and it was thrown backwards. With its belly up, it flew back into the passage, hit the ground heavily, and slid back a certain distance .

But the next moment, Huo Qilin turned over and got up.

It staggered, staggered and shook its lion-like head, and there was only a thin layer of flames less than three inches left on its body.

At this time, it looked at Li Mu, full of anger and fear.

When it was finally able to stand still, it took a deep look at Li Mu, then turned around and fled to the depths of the cave.

Li Mushen shouted: "Follow it, Feng'er, take note of the route along the way."

"Yes."

When Li Mu spoke, he was the first to run into the cave with his movements, and was tightly attached to the fire unicorn, but he kept a certain distance from the fire unicorn, and did not catch up completely.

His purpose is not to kill the fire unicorn, but to find the usual habitat of the fire unicorn.

There are not only the bones of Xue Bodhi and Nie Ying, but also the complete Bingxin Jue and Aohan Liujue, as well as the Dragon Vein and Xuanyuan Sword.

Finally, there is the stone room where Wu Wudi left his Xuanwu True Kungfu and the Top Ten Martial Arts, and it should be nearby.

You only need to focus on the habitat of the fire unicorn, and you will be able to find these things sooner or later.

Li Mu didn't intend to move the dragon veins. This is where the luck of the land of China lies. Once there is a problem with the veins of the dragons, the land of China will suffer a huge disaster.

The "Great Tribulation" in the original plot is inseparable from the destruction of the dragon's veins, so not only will Li Mu not touch the dragon's veins, but he will do his best to protect them and prevent anyone from touching them.

As for the Xuanyuan Sword, it is a kingly sword, and it is not suitable for Li Mu.

Although Li Mu's current ruling policy is to attach equal importance to the king and the hegemony, but the martial arts of the hegemony are pure hegemony.

He is a domineering man, if he wants to display the power of his martial arts, he can only be domineering, which is Li Mu's preferred way.

Changing one's way for the sake of a magic weapon is definitely not worth the loss, and the future is destined to not go far.

The "Tao" must be firm, and only when one road goes to darkness, can one have a chance to see the scenery at the end.

It is difficult to enter the Tao with half-heartedness and half-heartedness. At the same time, it is also a doubt about the way you are walking. How can you enter the Tao like this?

Since the system allows him to replace him with Xiongba as soon as he comes into contact with the world of high martial arts at the entry level, it means that Li Mu has a predestined relationship with Hegemony, and he will follow this path.

The kingly way is based on morality, and it is easy to be kidnapped by morality and be tied up.

Hegemony seeks strength, and while overwhelming the world with strength, it also proves the way with strength.

This is the way Li Mu intends to go, and he will not change his way for the sake of a magic weapon.

……

Because Huo Qilin had been seriously injured by Li Mu's three-point return to vitality, his running speed was not fast, and even the gang members could easily keep up.

Li Mu still left a palm print and a number every time he passed a cave.

Although Nie Feng didn't have time to draw a picture at this time, he had a good memory, and the route he traveled along the way had been firmly remembered in his mind.

After following Huo Qilin for a long time, the clothes of the gang members were soaked with sweat, and they finally reached a big cave.

At this time, the fire unicorn seemed to have reached its limit, the flames on its body had completely disappeared, and the scales on its body could be clearly seen.

It staggered to a corner of the cave near the wall, finally glanced at Li Mu and his party who were following, let out a soft growl full of sorrow, and then fell down against the wall.

After the fire unicorn fell down, its skin quickly changed from bright red to dark red, showing a lifeless feeling.

Duanlang asked: "Is it dead?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "If you die, the feud between your two fathers will be avenged."

Duan Lang said in a concentrated voice: "I'm going to chop it into pieces and use its head as a memorial to my father and Uncle Nie."

Li Mu stretched out his hand to stop him, and sighed: "Forget it, no matter what, Qilin is also one of the auspicious beasts in my land of China."

"Although I don't know why, this fire unicorn possesses such a strong demonic nature, but since it is dead, let's cancel all grievances! Leave it a whole body."

Duan Lang saw that he gave up, cupped his fists and bowed, "Yes, the lord is merciful."

Li Mu didn't let Duan Lang tear Huo Qilin into pieces because he knew that the four auspicious beasts could be revived as long as their essence was not taken away and their bodies were not damaged.

In fact, the fire unicorn is not a fire demon. Its meaning of existence is to protect the dragon veins. The reason why it will attack people who are close to Lingyun Cave is also to prevent outsiders from approaching the dragon veins.

As for the scales and blood on its body that would make people enchanted, it is because human beings are not at the level of life enough to control the flesh and blood of divine beasts, so what does it have to do with it?
　There are a lot of things going on recently, and the amount of updates can't keep up. I'm sorry when I'm done with this section.
