Chapter 404 – Name Shakes The Imperial Capital! (1/2)
Chapter 404: Name shakes the imperial capital!
South Gong Street. The Moon Teahouse.
“Did you know? I heard that Master Mu was wounded——” A middle-aged chubby man lifted up a teacup to cover his face, whispering to his tea companion.
“Master Mu? Which Master Mu?” The companion looked puzzled.
“Obviously the Master Mu of the Still water sword school, the G.o.d sword of West Wind, Mu Yubai. Who, besides him, could qualify to be called Master Mu?” The chubby man whispered in his lowest voice.
“How is that possible?” His companion suddenly raised the volume of his voice and sneered at the chubby man. “Old Luo, although we are friends, but there are some nonsense remarks that cannot be made. Otherwise, I can't let it pa.s.s——What kind of person is Master Mu? He is the famous G.o.d of Sword of our West Wind Kingdom. He has never been defeated for several decades. I have not heard of any anyone coming to West Wind Kingdom to challenge him, how would Master Mu be defeated? Lost to whom? Who can beat our Master Mu?”
“Li Muyang, I heard that he is a student of Starry Sky Academy, the person who killed Cui Zhaoren——He is the one who wounded our Master Mu. Our next door neighbour Elder sister Li, her grandfather-in-law's three boys work as Tiandu magistrates. I heard that it was a scene of chaos that day, many were killed. And when they finally went to clean up the bodies, there were people severed into minced flesh——” The chubby man pointed to the plate of steamed minced meat on the table. “Like that. I heard that it is still uncertain whether Master Mu will survive, l do not know whether he can endure this calamity——”——
“Mu Yubai of the Still water sword school was killed, I heard that it is Li Muyang of Starry Sky Academy who did it———”
“Li Muyang just came back and he killed Master Mu of the Still Water Sword School———Why did he do that? Hey, it's just for the sake of showing his power. He wants to tell the Cui family to not provoke him, or else it will be their turn next———” “
“Master Mu can be defeated? This is unbelievable, there must be more to this——”
“It's that Li Muyang——”
In this world, there is no wall that is windproof. The killing incident on the street circulated around through the mouth of various people.
The G.o.d of Sword of West wind was defeated, and whether he would survive was still uncertain. Li Muyang was once again pushed to where the wind and the waves were the fiercest.
Now, all the discussion around the capital involved the name Li Muyang.
The first in the imperial exams, the student accepted into Starry Sky Academy, the person who killed Cui Zhaoren, and the one who filled a courtyard with peach blossoms with one brush stroke and was taken in as a disciple by Gu Huangwu—
Li Muyang's name once again shook the entire Tiandu——
A mountain of swords, a sea of flames, and arrows like a forest.
Countless human race cultivators had surrounded him. On the ground there were hundreds of thousands of armoured and dagger-axed wielding soldiers.
Some raised their spear and some held a sword. The sky was filled with red light, sword qi were moving unhindered across and countless mantra containing great power were coming towards him from afar.
Li Muyang's eyes were like two puddles of blood. His body was covered with black scales. He had grown sharp teeth and claws, and his tail was like an iron wing.
A tremendous body was frantically struggling, twisting, fighting——
He had become the black dragon.
He was furious, burning with rage.
He hated the heaven for playing with him. He hated the humans who wanted to kill him.
He was in a thundering rage, and his roar sent quaking vibrations through the sky.
He ripped apart one human cultivator after another. He tore the brave men who wanted to behead him one after another with his teeth. He opened his b.l.o.o.d.y mouth wide, breathed out a gush of dragon breath that incinerated tens of thousands of armoured soldiers into ashes——
“Ah—— ”
Li Muyang's eyes shot open.
He sprang up in bed, his forehead dripping with sweat, and his eyes still filled with fear.
“Muyang——”
There was a surprised voice at his ears.
“Muyang, you're awake?” It was a gentle and beautiful face that was crossed with worry.
“Aunt Gongsun——” Li Muyang panicked even more.
Where was he now? Why would Madam Lu be taking care of him?
“Young master, you're awake.” Jing'er eyes were red like she was just crying.
Zhaihua, Chuyao, Tingxue and Xiyu, the four servant girls were waiting at the side with a sad expression. But when they saw that Li Muyang had safely woken up, a smile bloomed across their faces.
