Great Swordsman

Chapter 233 The Black Hand Behind the Scenes (Subscribe)

The bottom of the dead man's pit.

The surging air waves subsided slowly, and the boiling ghost fog filled the air again.

Nanshan Hou stood in the ghost fog, his shriveled black body was covered with sword marks, some of the sword marks seemed to have magma flowing, exuding crimson flames, and some of the sword marks shone like golden light, but corroded like sulfuric acid Looking at his flesh and blood, there were also sword marks overflowing with blue light, tearing his flesh and blood apart!
"Huhu..." Nanshanhou looked down at the sword marks on his body, as if he couldn't believe that he would be injured.

He stretched out his hand to touch the sword mark, and ghosts filled the sword mark, pouring into the sword mark, and slowly expelled the sword devil, earth fire evil, and heaven and earth arrogance in the sword mark!

"Roar..." He raised his head little by little, his dark eyes fixed on Li Mu in front of him.

Li Mu stood in the air, three inches of the body was covered with a mask of national destiny, seemingly unharmed, but the arm holding the sword was bulging and bloodshot.

"Nanshanhou, I know you can understand me, I want to chat with you!" Li Mu said in a deep voice, "If you can't speak, you just... squeak, how about it?"

"Roar!!" Marquis Nanshan was furious. He felt that his dignity was being insulted and trampled. With a flick of the eight python whip, he rushed up bravely again.

He is filled with pitch-black ghost spirits, blending with the surrounding ghost mist, like a demon god who has melted into the darkness, carrying the force of heaven and earth, pressing down on Li Mu.

At this moment, Li Mu felt that the whole world seemed to be rejecting him. If he hadn't been protected by the mask of national destiny, making him self-contained, the consequences would be unpredictable!

Do not eat a toast and eat a fine wine! !

Taking a deep breath, Li Mu held up the seven-star Ryongyon, and slashed down again!

"The road is like the sky!"

boom! !

A skyscraper-like blue-gold sword glow appeared out of the sky in an instant, and the sword glow rubbed against the rock walls on both sides of the death pit, pushing away like a bulldozer!

Facing this green-gold sword light that filled the death pit, Nanshan Houbi had no way to avoid it, so he could only resist it!
"Roar!!"

Amidst the roar, Nanshanhou's long whip was like a gun, and he stood firmly in front of the skyscraper-like sword light. He turned all the ghost fog in the dead man's pit, and with the eight python whips as the fulcrum, he forcibly blocked the green gold sword light from the original place. land.

sizzle...

The sword light and the eight python whips wrestled and vibrated and rubbed against each other, and invisible air waves visible to the naked eye came out from there, stirring the rock wall of the dead man's pit.

"Marquis Nanshan, let's chat, at least give me a shout!" Li Mu shouted loudly, his tone very dissatisfied!
Although he didn't know if the Nanshanhou after the corpse change could remember the events of his life, at least at this moment, He was intelligent and could understand human words. If so, why didn't he communicate?

Maybe it can turn hostility into friendship.

As Li Mu said, he continued to pour spiritual power and awe-inspiring energy into the Qingjin Jianmang. It would be best to kill him directly.

For a while, the green gold sword glow pushed forward against the eight python whips, and for a while it was pushed back by the eight python whips.

Li Mu's heart sank slightly, because the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him!

The Dead Man's Pit is Nanshanhou's home field. He can not only replenish consumption anytime and anywhere, but also borrow the power of the world here!

As for Li Mu, the only spiritual pill left in his body was Chaoyuan Gathering Realm, and the surroundings were filled with ghost fog, and there was no heaven and earth spiritual energy for him to replenish. Once the spiritual power in his body was exhausted, there would be no more consequences!
It seems that we can only use the hole card... Li Mu's thoughts changed, and then he decisively detonated the sword glow.

boom……

A terrifying explosion instantly swept across the bottom of the pit of death, and the chaotic and violent air waves crazily tore apart Li Mu's National Luck mask!
"Hey, I clearly promised Uncle Gu that I would not use my knowledge of divine weapons unless I had to. I never thought..." Standing in the turbulent flow, Li Mu was filled with emotion. When he killed the ghost pillar Yamamoto Ichiro, he used the power of the stars in the seven-star dragon abyss , He also used it when he was fighting Huo Toad, but now he is fighting Nanshan Hou, he still has to rely on the star power of Qixing Longyuan.

If this goes on like this, I will rely more and more on divine weapons, and lose my spirit of bravery and diligence... Li Mu looked at Nanshanhou who was as ferocious as a devil opposite the chaotic airflow, and decided... this is the last time!

With a thought, Long Yuan's blade burst out bright starlight, and the azure blue starlight quickly permeated the surroundings, lining this dark world like a Milky Way starry sky!
"The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, you can pick the stars with your hands, but you dare not speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings!"

Li Mu's heart was poetic, and his hand moved with his heart, and he drew a sword lightly and without fireworks: "Shocking Immortal!" !
This sword seems to be afraid of alarming others, the blade is silent, and it cuts through the air like a ghost.

In an instant, a star-bright sword light broke out from the sword, like spring wind turning into rain, without the slightest noise, appearing in front of Nan Shanhou silently.

Nan Shanhou didn't even realize it, and was slashed in the neck by this star-bright sword light!

puff! !

Jet-black blood spouted from Nanshanhou's neck, and he was struck by severe pain. Nanshanhou finally reacted. He roared in fright, and circles of air waves overflowed from his mouth, crazily impacting on the body that was slashed at his neck. Xinghui Jianmang!

"It's a pity." Li Mu sighed, if it wasn't for the zombie's rough skin and thick flesh, the sword just now would definitely behead him!
Now... I have to cut another sword.

Li Mu stroked Long Yuan's sword, and said firmly, "This time, it's definitely the last time!"

The faint starlight filled the blade again, but in the next moment, a strange figure suddenly emerged from the depths of the ghost fog, like maggots on tarsus bones, and stuck tightly behind Nan Shanhou.

"What?" Li Mu was taken aback, looked closely, and found that the thing was actually a person!

"This is..." The muscles on Li Mu's face twitched slightly: "The new inspector?"

Wasn't this guy deafened by the starving ghost just now, then fell out of the mask of the national luck, was swallowed by the ghost mist and died?

Why are you still...alive?

No, he is dead, no, this guy seems... not a human? !
Li Mu noticed that the new inspector of Tai'a County had a weird expression, with a wicked smile, but his pupils were dull, like two marbles, like decorations.

At this time, the new inspector clings to Nanshanhou, and stretches out his hands to embrace him.

The next moment, Nan Shanhou suddenly struggled violently, and roared angrily to the sky!

The violent air waves carried the eerie ghosts and overflowed from his body in circles. The inspector's official robes were hunting, but his arms were like iron hoops. Under the impact of the ghosts, he hugged Nanshanhou tightly.

"What's going on here?" Li Mu looked at this scene in surprise.

He guessed before that the series of things Lin Zhihe encountered was just to lead them into the death pit, but the real purpose was nothing more than two, one was to kill someone with a knife, and the other was to send someone safely to the bottom of the death pit.

But now it seems that he guessed wrong.

The status of this inspector is obviously wrong, but Li Mu can confirm that even without him, the other party can survive in the ghost fog, so the second possibility is ruled out.

As for killing with a borrowed knife, if the other party wants to die, why jump out and hug Nan Shanhou at this moment?
So, the other party's real purpose...is Nan Shanhou?
And it was the Marquis of Nanshan after being severely injured by himself!
I was taken advantage of? !

Li Mu's face changed drastically, and without a word, he slashed down with his sword again: "It's not fair!" !
The stars are shining brightly, and a galactic sword light is condensed in the air, as if hanging down from nine days away, sweeping away the world in a mighty way!
If the world is not peaceful, the sword will not return to its sheath!
Pei Mo Nengyu's star-bright sword glowed like the Yellow River bursting its banks, rushing towards Nan Shanhou and the inspector with a strange look!
boom! ! !
In the next moment, they were swallowed by Xinghui Jianguang.

The ground cracked and the ghost mist stirred. After one strike, the bottom of the pit of the dead was filled with sword energy, and azure blue starlight was everywhere.

But only the Marquis of Nanshan and the Inspectorate were missing.

"Where's the person?" Li Mu came against the wind and checked quickly. Finally, he found traces of the earth escape technique on the ground.

"Run away? Impossible!" Li Mu slashed down with his sword, splitting the bottom of the pit.

Although the seal of the dead man's pit seems to have only a layer of golden light film on the top, in fact, the scope of this light film is extremely large. It will wrap the entire dead man's pit, including the tomb of Nanshan Hou, whether it is Tudun or Yufeng, no matter Whether it is facing up or down, it will eventually face the seal!
Otherwise, how can we suppress Nanshan Hou and this ghost fog full of pits?

But now... Li Mu dug all the way through the bottom of the dead man's pit following the traces of the earth escape technique. After about a hundred meters, he saw the golden light film seal transformed by the fortune of the country!

However, the Marquis of Nanshan and the Inspector are gone! !
……

Behind the National Temple.

After a brief breath adjustment, Lin Zhihe finally opened his eyes. After the catastrophe, he found out that Zhao Binhong was indeed dead. Therefore, he was in a good mood, but soon became gloomy.

Because the murderer who assassinated him deliberately pretended to be Zhao Binhong and made it clear that he wanted to kill someone with a knife, he vowed to find out this black hand and cut it off!
Lin Zhihe stood up and looked towards the dead man's pit. Under the golden film of light, he could faintly see a dozen ferocious and thick ghost pythons swimming and wandering.

"Is County Magistrate Li out yet?" Lin Zhihe asked the subordinates beside him.

"My lord, you are the only one who has come out at present, and the Sect Master Jianzong has not come out." The subordinate replied respectfully.

"My lord, what happened under the dead man's pit?"

"Could it be that including the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, all the adults have already..."

"Ah, what a pity." Lin Zhihe sighed, "Ms. Li's reputation for both poems and swords is shocking, but he actually fell in..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a sword light suddenly rushed out from the golden light film.

"Master County Sheriff!" Li Mu soared into the sky, and the light of his sword swirled, and landed beside Lin Zhihe in a beautiful arc.

"Li, county magistrate Li, you are fine, this is really...really..." Lin Zhihe showed a complex expression: "It's really great."

"Master County Sheriff, it's great that you're not dead! The officer just happened to ask you something!" Li Mu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said, "Who is the name of the new inspector, where is he from, and what is his background?"

"Inspector? Wu Dong?" Lin Zhihe was startled, as if he didn't expect Li Mu to ask about this person.

"Magistrate Li, Wu Dong is dead. Could it be... what kind of will did he leave before his death?" Lin Zhihe was amazed.

"Your Majesty, I am sure that Wu Dong has a lot to do with the assassination of you, and even he is behind the scenes!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.

"What? That's impossible! If he was the mastermind behind the scenes, how could... the sheriff saw him being swallowed up by the ghost fog with his own eyes, and he died!" Lin Zhihe was shocked.

"He's not dead! Just now he fought against Nanshanhou, and at the last moment, he unexpectedly appeared and took Nanshanhou... away!" Li Mu sneered.

"Take it away? County magistrate Li, don't be kidding, even if Wu Dong is not dead, but the dead man's pit is suppressed by the National Temple, all the ghosts and monsters are absolutely impossible... maybe..." Lin Zhihe said later, his face gradually paled.

"What did the governor think of?" Li Mu realized that something was wrong when he saw his expression.

"Unless there is an official seal to protect it." Lin Zhihe's face turned pale.

He told Li Mu that the golden body of the Taizu in the national temple was made of mud under the Sifang City Gate of Tai'a County, which contained the power of all people, and was sealed with the official seal of the county, as well as Qingping County, Ping'an County, Qing'an County, and Taiping County. The inspiration of the national destiny in the four official seals can be described as impenetrable! !
However, if someone holds any of the above five official seals, they can bring ghosts out of the dead man's pit!

As Lin Zhihe spoke, he took out his official seal.

Li Mu's official seal is also beside him.

In this way, the problem lies in one of Ping'an County, Qing'an County, and Taiping County.

The figures of three big fat men appeared in Li Mu's mind.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Zhihe was already furious at this time, and shouted at the nearby subordinates in a sharp voice: "The order of the county guard is issued, and the county magistrate Chen Ping'an, the magistrate of Qing'an County Wu An, and the magistrate of Taiping County Yang Xiuqing are immediately arrested! Collaborate with Wu Dong to assassinate the governor of the county and release Marquis Nanshan, the governor of the county will never let them go!!"

Lin Zhihe was furious.

It's nothing more than assassinating himself, but now he even brought Nanshan Hou out of the death pit, it's just crazy!
You know, Nanshan Hou regards him as a 'blood and blood'!

If this is released, will Lin Zhihe be able to sleep peacefully in the future?
Damn it! !

Lin Zhihe was already scolding his mother in his heart!
"Don't worry, Lord Sheriff. The matter has come to this point, and we still need to think about it in the long run." Although Li Mu also felt upset, but luckily he didn't lose his mind. He told Lin Zhihe that the county magistrates of the three counties had average cultivation and almost no background. , the mastermind behind the scenes acted cautiously and was unlikely to collude with them.

"What does County Magistrate Li mean?" Lin Zhihe frowned.

"Whether it's stealing, or coercion, I believe Wu Dong can easily 'borrow' official seals from them." Li Mu said: "Arresting them won't help."

"Magistrate Li, what do you think we should do now?! Now that your cultivation base is high, you can beat Nanshan Hou to beat him. Naturally, you are not afraid of him, but this county guard..." Lin Zhihe looked around, his eyes were fierce After forcing his subordinates to retreat, he continued: "But the sheriff is afraid. If the matter is not investigated, I, I, I... what will the sheriff do in the future?"

Li Mu glanced at him sideways, and said, "The governor hasn't said anything about Wu Dong's background yet!"

Lin Zhihe said with a bitter face: "Magistrate Li, the previous inspectors were all specially dispatched from the imperial capital. The county guard really doesn't know his background!"

"Emperor Capital?" Li Mu frowned.

The water in the imperial capital is extremely deep, Jiutian Yingyuanshen Mansion, Hanlin Academy, Guozijian, left and right prime ministers, six ministers... The forces from all sides are mixed, and it will be even more difficult for others to investigate.

But Li Mu is backed by the Hanlin Academy and the Empress, and has the friendship of the abbot of the White Horse Temple, the first Buddhist temple in Dagan. If you check Wu Dong, it shouldn't be a big problem... right?

Li Mu suddenly lost his mind.
