Chapter 250 4. Arrogance is no longer an option.
In fact, Yuan Tao and the others had already taken Li Muyang very seriously. In order to deal with him, they specially prepared a trap. But they never expected that Old Li would bite the hook in half along with the bait! He even tried to drag the fisherman into the water and swallow him as well!
Distinguish who the prey is!
Afterwards, Li Muyang took Erii and Ai and walked into the trap that Quanxing had prepared for him!
It could be said that this was the set originally prepared for Lu Jin!
however……
Upon meeting, without exchanging a single word, Gao Ning, his face grim, shouted, "Go! The plan has changed! Get out of here!"
"Leave? You come and go as you please, you plot against me as you please, treating me like I'm invisible?" Li Muyang said slowly with a blank expression. Everything around him seemed to come alive, actively blocking and attacking the four madmen.
The once clear night sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Don't misunderstand, the Twelve Labors Formation definitely can't affect Li Muyang, and Gao Ning can't even touch Li Muyang's emotions. The two are not on the same level.
The reason Gao Ning was so terrified was that in his attempt to sway Li Muyang's emotions, he accidentally disturbed the Shennong Beast and the others who were in the small world.
The three divine beasts, along with a group of spirit beasts and monsters, unleashed their power together, not only destroying the Twelve Labors Formation through Li Muyang, but also triggering strange phenomena in the heavens and earth. In this world where spiritual energy has just begun to recover, the power of three mythical beasts and the resulting pressure from three different divine beasts were enough to scare Gao Ning to death; he was already incredibly bold!
Dou Mei tried to use her power to appease the three divine beasts, but this only made the Shennong beasts even more enraged!
What the hell?! Trying to wear us down too? Even the pollen from Hua Yu can't compare!
The attack was overwhelming, engulfing everything in the world—the earth, the forests, the air, the sky… everything seemed to be against them. The Four Madmen were terrified. This level of attack… what had gotten into them?! They dared to provoke them?! This immortal is no joke!
Boom boom boom!
After a tremendous upheaval, the four madmen lay half-dead in the ruins.
The fact that they managed to kill him after making such a big commotion truly demonstrates their control.
They were tied up like rice dumplings, one for each person. The vines absorbed and suppressed their Qi. In the end, Li Muyang didn't kill them and left it to the company to handle. That could be considered "obeying the law"!
There were only four people here, and they're all dead. Who would spread the news that he was unparalleled in combat? A true warrior doesn't boast of great achievements. He did this to make a name for himself in the world of supernatural beings and to deter those petty villains!
Just now, while drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, Li Muyang also casually summoned heavenly lightning to strike down some Quanxing demons in the distance, aiming to distribute the benefits evenly!
However, after glancing at Shen Chong, Li Muyang silently reached out and crippled his abilities.
Alcohol is a poison that burns through the intestines.
The color is a bone-scraping steel knife.
Wealth is the root of trouble.
Qi refers to thunder, smoke, fire, and artillery.
That's true, but everything has two sides.
Wine aids in rites and music, ensuring the well-being of the nation.
Color nurtures life and upholds fundamental principles.
With abundant wealth and food, the nation prospers.
Qi condenses into Taiji, stabilizing Yin and Yang.
The Quanxing group nowadays is mostly just a bunch of hedonistic guys!
The ancients would not give up even a hair's breadth to benefit the world; they would not accept the whole world's wealth to serve themselves. If everyone refrained from giving up even a hair's breadth and did not seek to benefit the world, the world would be at peace.
It means that I wouldn't do something that could benefit the whole world by plucking a single hair from my body, but I also wouldn't accept benefits that come from the whole world.
If everyone could refrain from taking even a penny from the people and from harming even a fraction of their interests, then there would be no need for benevolence, righteousness, or morality, nor for harsh laws and punishments; the world would naturally be governed.
However, now Quanxing is left with nothing but doing whatever it wants.
Yang Zhu's Neo-Confucianism has been completely abandoned, leaving only a bunch of fallacies and a wanton scoundrel!
Li Muyang didn't care about the other three, but Shen Chong, that loan shark! He was truly disgusting! Of the four arrogant guys, this was the one Li Muyang hated the most! That's right, it's just that I personally don't like him!
Whether to kill or not is irrelevant, because the two are not on the same level. If he could be ambushed by these four, Li Muyang would have to admit that he is a good-for-nothing! He has one condition for taking the initiative to kill directly: the other party can pose a threat to him.
Of course, if these few still don't know what's good for them after being given a chance to live this time, then there will definitely be no next time.
His mercy came only once!
But Shen Chong's ability must be discarded! Because Li Muyang hates him! So what if Old Li has some personal feelings? It's already pretty good that he didn't become a Homelander.
Why should we explain our actions to others? The main principle is to have a clear and unobstructed mind!
After thinking for a moment, Li Muyang decided not to leave Xia He hanging there any longer. Instead, he controlled her as she floated in the air and took her away.
Hmm, just throw it to Zhang Lingyu and let him handle it!
Erii glanced at Li Muyang with a strange look. Normally, she would complain, but at this moment she was shocked by the aftershocks of the earth-shattering power that Li Muyang had just used. This time, Li Muyang had not returned to his original state, and the scene was still a ruin. Therefore, she did not realize that she had the opportunity to tease Li Muyang for taking Xia He away.
They encountered Zhang Lingyu on the way. Li Muyang immediately handed the unconscious Xia He to him and said, "Junior Uncle, I've saved this bone-scraping knife for you. Don't worry, she has no ability to resist right now. You can do whatever you want with her."
The junior uncle had just caught Xia He when he heard these words, and his old face immediately turned red: "Mr. Li, you've misunderstood..."
"Sigh, what I mean is, if you really hate her that much, then just kill her. It's much better than you making a fuss over nothing here," Li Muyang said expressionlessly.
Zhang Lingyu's pupils shrank immediately, and without hesitation, she said, "Impossible! How could I do such a thing! What happened back then was my fault!"
Xia He slightly opened one eye, glanced at Zhang Lingyu, and smiled helplessly to herself. Still the same! Aren't you tired?
At this moment, the old Celestial Master also appeared: "Lingyu, so it's this girl~"
“Master…” Zhang Lingyu held Xia He with an embarrassed expression, while Xia He, who was pretending to be unconscious, cooperated well and remained motionless, leaving the honest junior uncle at a loss for what to do.
We can't just leave her here, can we? Mr. Li is so murderous, he might just kill her without hesitation. Besides, Longhu Mountain is a mess right now. If we leave her here in the middle of nowhere, who knows what will happen to Xia He?
"Just a friendly reminder," Li Muyang said with a hint of teasing, "Xia He was a virgin just like you were back then... You should know that, but she only had one real relationship with you."
"What?!" Zhang Lingyu was stunned.
The old master gave a wry smile: "It's kind of you, Mu Yang, to worry about my disciple's affairs."
Li Muyang waved his hand: "It's nothing. I didn't kill the four madmen in the first place. If I killed them all, who would know how powerful I am? Apart from Shen Chong, whom I crippled, I don't like his abilities at all!"
"Also, Junior Uncle, if you really can't let go, then let Xia He stay by your side. Don't be shy. The Celestial Master's Mansion doesn't have any rules about that, and I don't think the Old Celestial Master would have any objections either. That way, you can keep an eye on Xia He and prevent her from continuing to do evil."
The old Taoist master nodded in agreement.
Zhang Lingyu's face was so red it was almost steaming, but she seemed to be choking and couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing this, Li Muyang shook his head helplessly. It seemed that these two really had no chance.
He didn't really have any intention of shipping any couples. The reason he brought Xia He out was just to see if Zhang Lingyu's awkward personality could be improved. But it seems that there's been no change at all!
Even though Zhang Lingyu subjectively believed that Xia He was unconscious, he couldn't bring himself to say it. If Xia He woke up, it would be quite good if the two of them didn't start arguing.
It can only be said that the love story between the successor of the Celestial Master and the demoness of the Quanxing Sect can only exist in novels.
The old Celestial Master, seeing his disciple's awkward expression, sighed helplessly: "Lingyu."
“Ah? Master…” Zhang Lingyu hurriedly replied.
"Go down the mountain," the old celestial master said leisurely.
Zhang Lingyu's pupils shrank instantly, and with a thud, Xia He was thrown to the ground, landing squarely on her. She could no longer pretend to be unconscious and involuntarily cried out in pain.
Zhang Lingyu completely ignored Xia He who had fallen to the ground, and knelt down before the Old Master, hurriedly asking, "Master, what did I do wrong? Tell me! I will correct myself! Please don't send me down the mountain!"
“You’re not wrong, I’m the one who’s wrong.” The old Celestial Master said with a melancholy expression, “I thought that you were able to use the Yin Five Thunders freely because you had accepted yourself, but it turns out you’re still the same as before!”
“Master Lingyu, you’re not being honest with yourself!” Li Muyang chimed in, “Do you think I let Xia He go because I was looking out for you? No! Although the Four Madmen caused me trouble this time, considering they didn’t know my strength and situation, and it was their first offense, plus they tried to run away as soon as they met me, I let them live. Just hand them over to Na Du Tong to deal with!”
“I have a set of principles for doing things. I won’t kill unless I’m a mortal enemy. Even if they are members of the Quanxing, in my eyes they are no different from you. We live in a society governed by the rule of law now. The old ways of shouting for violence are no longer popular. Even if they are members of the Quanxing, as long as they don’t cause trouble, aren’t they still law-abiding citizens? They are protected by the law just the same!”
Xiao Ai finally triggered the keyword for吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining or criticizing), thinking to herself: (You deliberately brought Xia He out, wasn't it just to see Lingyu Zhenren have his fun? Ah!)
Before he could even finish his thought, Li Muyang struck him on the head with a two-finger tap.
So, Ai might have guessed correctly.
However, what Li Muyang said was actually correct, because the Quanxing people of the Dragon Kingdom were still law-abiding citizens. Those who were truly vicious and ruthless in the past had long since died out and had no chance to cause trouble at all.
Just kidding. With the strength of these superhumans, not only are their individual combat abilities not at the level of destroying the world, but even their numbers are not enough to cause trouble! Don't be fooled by the hype online. If the authorities really wanted to kill superhumans, even the Celestial Master wouldn't be qualified. It's just a matter of whether it's worth it!
Only someone of Li Muyang's caliber could do that!
