"Swish," a flying sword brushed past Li Mu's neck.

Did it succeed?

This easily?

The thought had barely emerged in the mind of the Foundation Establishment female cultivator hiding in the woods before she crushed it!

No!

It didn't!

"Snap," the target's body turned into a piece of wood, breaking into two and falling to the ground.

The next second, Li Mu's figure slowly rose from the ground behind the Foundation Establishment female cultivator.

"Foundation Establishment cultivator? Who sent you to kill me? Was Wang Feng able to hire you?" Li Mu cautiously stared at the green-dressed female cultivator in front, thinking that if he hadn't used the Five Elements Escape Technique in time, that sword could have taken his life.

Just a little bit more, Li Mu's face was pale, his heart filled with lingering fear.

Li Mu had fully extended his divine sense, remaining vigilant at all times, yet he hadn't detected any enemies lurking around.

Unexpectedly, it was a Foundation Establishment female cultivator with exceptionally well-hidden aura, against whom Li Mu's divine sense was ineffective.

What's going on! Is Wang Feng crazy? All this for just a few acres of Middle Grade Spirit Field, is it worth paying such a price? Hiring a Foundation Establishment killer to assassinate him? Li Mu found it hard to believe.

No, it's all illogical!

Could it be someone else? Who else has he offended?

Li Mu frowned, unable to understand who he had offended to be targeted by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Could it be that 'Master Li's' identity was exposed?

"Five Elements Escape Technique, such proficient use, kid, you're not simple," the green-dressed female cultivator smiled, complimenting Li Mu: "But knowing I'm Foundation Establishment, you're still distracted? You clearly don't take me seriously!"

Before the words finished, the green-dressed female cultivator swung a long green whip, sweeping towards Li Mu, fierce as thunder and extremely powerful.

Li Mu, already on guard, flickered, his body turned into a mass of dirt, and soon, his figure separated from a distant Gale Tree.

"Snap!" The long green whip struck a cloud of dust, hitting nothing.

Li Mu, revealing his form, took a deep breath and tapped his storage bag, as one Tier Two Profound Iron Sword after another poured out in succession.

Li Mu formed a sword technique with his right hand, both hands joined together, pointing forward, a series of sharp emptiness-breaking flew out, heading towards the green-dressed female cultivator.

The sudden attack of seven spiritual swords startled the green-dressed female cultivator, who quickly swung her long whip, knocking away the Profound Iron Swords, momentarily flustered.

Seeing this, Li Mu was not shocked but pleased, with a slight smile on his face, changing the sword technique in his hand, arranging the Seven-Star configuration, assembling the Seven-Star Sword Array.

"Swoosh, swoosh," the seven knocked away Profound Iron Swords stabilized in midair instantly, rapidly moving according to their designated positions, the sword shadow quickening, generating sword qi.

"Sword Array!" The green-dressed female cultivator's expression changed, staring at Li Mu who was controlling the sword array, realizing something, loudly questioning: "No, you're not at Qi Refining Seventh Layer, what is your cultivation level!"

"Does it matter? You dare to try to kill me without even knowing my cultivation level? I'm very curious about your identity!" Li Mu let out a cold laugh, remotely controlling the seven Profound Iron Swords to launch an attack on the female cultivator.

"Buzzing..." The sound of swords resonated, the seven Tier Two Profound Iron Swords, like a hunting school of fish, launched a group attack on the green-dressed female cultivator within the array at extreme speed.

With the sword array formed, there was no way to avoid, no escape.

The green-dressed female cultivator took out a small silver shield, wielding the long green whip in one hand, repeatedly resisting the attacks of the Profound Iron Swords.

However, under the relentless and fierce assault of the Seven-Star Sword Qi, the small silver shield became pitted immediately, and soon, the long green whip broke into two sections.

The green-dressed female cultivator's face changed, "Pfft," her forearm grazed by sword qi, spilling a spray of blood.

Just when Li Mu was sure of his victory and prepared to finish off the green-dressed female cultivator, he suddenly sensed something amiss around him.

In the next moment, "swish," four figures appeared out of thin air, Li Mu released four combat puppets from the storage compartment, instructing them to enter combat mode, ready to attack any approaching enemy.

"Helpers? I've detected you, come out!" Li Mu maintained the Seven-Star Sword Array while looking towards the bushes on the right, his divine sense vaguely sensing someone approaching stealthily but blocked by something, making detection impossible.

"Such a great method, actually possessing so many combat puppets, disband the sword array and we can have a proper discussion," Yan Ling reluctantly lifted the cloak covering her entire body, revealing herself, suggesting as she gazed at Li Mu.

With her tracks discovered, Yan Ling, with merely peak Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivation, knew she couldn't break through the defense line against four Tier Two combat puppets to disrupt Li Mu's maintenance of the sword array. She could only show herself, trying to negotiate.

This assassination attempt was a complete failure, even Aunt Sun at Foundation Establishment Realm was trapped in the sword array, the situation precarious.

"Ridiculous, disband the sword array and let that Foundation Establishment female cultivator out so she can make life difficult for me? Who are you people and why attack me?" Li Mu glanced at the black-cloaked female cultivator, instantly understanding the reason his divine sense couldn't detect the two.

Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits took effect, and in the character frame that appeared before Li Mu, the attribute information of the black cloak was displayed.
