In the sword tower space, Li Mu slaughtered everyone. Whether they were experienced old disciples or the new generation with extraordinary talents, they were all defeated by his sword. He quickly sent them out of the sword tower and frantically harvested the sect's contribution.
Refining a sixth-level spiritual treasure can earn him 100,000 sect contributions. Defeating a challenger can earn him thousands of sect contributions. He can also hone his sword skills and improve his actual combat experience. Li Mu never gets tired of it.
Time is like running water, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, Li Mu has never left the sword tower space, constantly accepting challenges and constantly defeating opponents. His reputation is getting bigger and bigger among the disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect, and he has become a well-known and unknown figure among the disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect. The unknown existence is called Li Laohu by the challengers, which means 'blocking tiger'.
The disciples began to call him "Tiger Li" privately, which meant that he was like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable. His existence seems to have become an insurmountable obstacle in the sword tower space, and he is called a "stumbling block" by the challengers.
At the same time, Li Mu, as the elder of the Keqing family, was gradually exposed as the master of weapon refining in the past two years. His weapon refining skills had already become a legend in the sect. Countless disciples hope to get his guidance, and some are even willing to pay a huge price just to get a spiritual treasure that he personally refined.
When the challengers learned about Li Mu's identity, they all paid tribute to him. Although they would still challenge Li Mu, they were no longer as unscrupulous as before. Even if they lost to him, they could not bear any resentment. .
As a result, due to Li Mu's relationship, the number of disciples challenging the Sword Tower's leadership position has decreased significantly, which has become a frown upon the senior officials of Tianjian Peak.
Tianjian Peak - Meeting Hall.
Everyone, what do you think about Elder Li? "Above the main seat of the main hall, Lord Fang Hongzun, the master of Tianjian Peak, glanced at the faces of the elders and asked.
The elders below were discussing in low voices, some looked worried, while others looked thoughtful.
An elder with a fluttering white beard spoke first: "Peak Master, Elder Li Mu's performance in the sword tower is truly remarkable. His sword skills, cultivation, and strength are as good as his weapon refining skills. It can be called a masterpiece. However, because of his relationship, the number of people challenging him has been greatly reduced, which may not be a good thing for the younger generation of the sect."
Another middle-aged elder also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the Sword Tower was originally a place to hone disciples' sword skills, but now it is left out in the cold due to the existence of Elder Li Mu. This is indeed a pity."
Sir Fang Hongzun, the master of Tianjian Peak, sighed softly. , said: "I naturally know this, but Elder Li is a guest and has made great contributions to the sect. In addition, due to the rules of the sword tower, we cannot forcibly interfere with his behavior in the sword tower!"
At this moment, an elder in green stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Peak Master, I have a suggestion that may solve this dilemma."
A trace of curiosity flashed in the eyes of Fang Hongzun, and he said: "Oh? Come and listen."
Elder Qingyi nodded and said: "Since Elder Li Mu has influence in the sword tower, So big, we might as well invite the chief swordsman of this peak, Ling Feng, to come out and challenge Elder Li. Ling Feng is the leader among the younger generation of our Xuantian Sword Sect. His sword skills and cultivation are both outstanding. Extremely outstanding. If he takes action, he should be able to put a certain amount of pressure on Elder Li, and may even defeat his defender."
After hearing this, Fang Hongzun frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he relaxed. He nodded slowly and said: "Let Ling Feng take action, it is indeed a method worth trying. His sword skills are superb and his cultivation is deep enough to compete with Elder Li Mu. However, Elder Li's methods are endless and his strength is deep. It’s unpredictable, and we can’t take it lightly even if Ling Feng takes action.”
Hearing this, Elder Qingyi smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. , and indicated: "What the Peak Master said is absolutely true. However, when we ask Ling Feng to take action this time, we do not necessarily require him to defeat Elder Li Mu. More importantly, let Ling Feng, as the chief swordsman, represent the peak to Elder Li Mu." Convey our dilemma and expectations. Perhaps, we can ask Elder Li to attack the superiors, or take the initiative to give up the defense. After all, Elder Li is reasonable and should listen to the advice."
Fang Hongzun raised his eyes. With a faint light, he looked at the elder in Qingyi, then glanced at the other elders, and asked: "This method is indeed good, what do the elders think?"
A white-haired elder frowned and said in a deep voice: "Peak Master, although this move may achieve our goal, it will damage the honor of the peak. Moreover, doing so seems to be a violation of the rules of the sword tower. . The sword tower is supposed to be a place where disciples can freely challenge and hone their sword skills. If we interfere in this way, we may cause dissatisfaction and doubts from other disciples."
However, another burly man. The elder had a different opinion. He said loudly: "Elder Li has been guarding the sword tower for a long time and is almost invincible. This has caused many disciples to lose the courage to challenge. His existence has made the sword tower lose its response. It has a tempering effect. Letting Ling Feng Jianzi go to advise him has already given him enough face. Moreover, we are also considering the overall interests of the sect, and there is nothing wrong with doing so."
The elders. After hearing this, everyone began to discuss and express their opinions. Some believed that although this move was somewhat inappropriate, it was also a helpless move to solve the current predicament; some insisted that the rules of the sword tower should be respected and the disciples should be allowed to challenge freely.
Looking at the debate among the elders, Lord Fang Hongzun quickly made a decision and said slowly: "Everything the elders said is reasonable. But, as the senior leaders of the sect, we must do it for the sake of the sect. Considering the overall interests."
Sir Fang Hongzun paused and continued: "Elder Li's influence in the sword tower is indeed too great. His presence has made many young disciples lose the courage to challenge. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the younger generation of the sect. Their competitive spirit and ambition have been overshadowed by Elder Li's light. This is a problem that cannot be ignored, so Ling Feng Jianzi goes there. Advising is a method worth trying. Of course, we must also respect the rules of the sword tower. If Elder Li is unwilling to give up the attack and abandon the challenge, but continues to defend the challenge, we cannot force him."

After hearing this, all the elders nodded in agreement. For the sake of the overall interests of the sect, although this move was somewhat inappropriate, it could quickly resolve the current predicament.
Soon, the chief disciple of Tianjian Peak, Ling Feng, came out of seclusion in response to the order and was ordered to enter the sword tower to convince Li Mu. He was wearing a white shirt and carrying a long sword on his back. He flew over and walked firmly. Enter the sword tower.
The news quickly spread around the sword tower.
Ling Feng, the chief disciple of Tianjianfeng, Xuantian Sword Sect and the Thirteen Swordsmen himself, is preparing to enter the sword tower again to challenge. Once the news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of disciples.< br>
After hearing the news, the disciples gathered under the sword tower battle list, talking about it, and always paying attention to the situation of this battle.
Some of the disciples were pleasantly surprised, hoping that Ling Feng Jianzi could break Elder Li's long-term bullying behavior and revive the fair competition in the sword tower; some were worried that Ling Feng Jianzi would not be able to shake Elder Li Mu's position and the challenge would fail.
Outside the sword tower, the crowd gathered like a tide, and the voices of discussion came and went, like waves surging.
"I heard that Senior Brother Ling has been in seclusion for a long time. He must have come out of seclusion this time to challenge Elder Li Mu." A disciple said excitedly, his eyes shining with anticipation.
"Yes, last time Senior Brother Ling attacked, he seemed to have entered the top thirty, and this time he must be aiming to reach the top." Another disciple added, his tone full of disdain for Ling Feng of admiration and trust.
However, some disciples put forward different opinions and reminded: "Elder Li has been guarding the arena for two years and is unbeatable. Even Taixuan Peak Sword Master Chang Ming was defeated. Even if this time Even if Brother Ling takes action, I'm afraid he won't be able to break the deadlock!" "Indeed, Elder Li's strength is unfathomable, and it may not be easy to defeat him." Another disciple echoed, with a look of worry in his eyes.
Hundreds of disciples gathered around the sword tower battle list. After hearing the news, they quickly gathered around and gathered in front of the sword tower battle list. They kept talking and it was very lively.
In the past two years, countless sect elites have been defeated by Li Mu's sword. They may have superb swordsmanship or extraordinary talents, but without exception, they have not been able to shake Li Mu's status. Even those disciples with outstanding talents and known as swordsmen were defeated in the process of challenging Li Mu and failed to break his undefeated myth.
Those who want to defeat Li Mu and gain the qualification to challenge a higher sword tower have almost disappeared in the past two years. Because of the existence of ‘blockers’, the number of challengers entering the sword tower has also decreased.
Not long after, Ling Feng’s real-time performance status appeared on the sword tower battle list.
I saw that Lingfeng was making great progress all the way, "killing" ten sword contenders in a row, successfully won ten consecutive victories, and obtained the qualification to challenge the master of the Hundred-story Sword Tower.
In the 100-story sword tower space, Li Mu sat cross-legged, focusing on the trial of the Heavenly Puppet Heart Palace.
Until the token on his body kept buzzing, reminding him, Li Mu finally recovered, withdrew his consciousness from the Tianpuppet Heavenly Palace trial, and woke up.
"Elder Li, you are really leisurely!"
Just when Li Mu recovered his mind and was about to check the token, a playful voice suddenly sounded in the sword tower space.
Li Mu looked up and saw a young man in white appearing out of thin air in the sword tower space, standing in the air and looking at him with a smile.
“Sorry for the long wait.” There was a trace of apology in Li Mu’s voice. As the master of the sword tower, he needs to be ready to accept challenges at any time, but just now he devoted himself to the trial of the Heavenly Puppet Heart Palace. Somewhat distracted.
"This is the first time that Elder Li and I have met. You probably don't know me, Tianjian Peak - Ling Feng." The young man in white walked up to Li Mu gracefully, saluted the sword-holder in a gentle manner, and said to himself introduced.
Li Mu nodded, with a friendly smile on his face, holding his sword and returning the greeting: "Seven Gods Peak - Li Mu! Nice to meet you."
Ling Feng nodded and looked at Li Mu Smiling and said: "Elder Li, can you listen to me first and then we fight?"
"Yes! Please tell me!" Li Mu nodded happily.
"Elder Li, you have occupied the 100th floor of the sword tower for two years. During this period, you have accepted challenges from many elite disciples in the sect. However, with your record and strength, you should be able to You entered the tenth floor of the sword tower to defend the ring, but you took the ring in the hundred-story sword tower. You were suspected of dominating the ring. This suppressed many elite disciples of the sect and did not dare to challenge easily. It violated the rules of fair competition in the sword tower. , This caused a big blow to the disciples of our sect."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but his heart was calm. He smiled lightly and said: "Fellow Daoist Ling Feng, of course I understand what you are saying. However, this sword tower arena is a place where the strong are respected. I occupy this level and have experienced many battles and defeated countless challengers. I successfully defended it. As for suppressing the disciples of the sect, I did not do it intentionally. It was just that they were not strong enough to defeat me."
"As for what you said about entering the tenth floor of the sword tower to defend the ring, I did. A challenge that I have never tried before. However, I am not seeking comfort. I just want to learn and communicate with more disciples here and make progress together. If there is a strong disciple who can defeat me, I will naturally give up the challenge. position."
When Li Mu said this, he paused, looked directly at Ling Feng, and argued: "Moreover, I occupy the position of the champion of this hundred-story sword tower, and it is not without contribution. During this period, I have also mentored many challengers, competing with each other, verifying each other, and improving each other's swordsmanship. How can we compete with each other?"
After hearing Li Mu's words, Ling Feng's eyes flashed with a strange look. He didn't expect that Li Mu would face his doubts so calmly and be able to say such well-founded words. He couldn't help but admire Li Mu's magnanimity and mind.
"What Elder Li said is absolutely true. I have learned from you." Ling Feng bowed his hands and said with a smile.
It was not easy to argue with Li Mu about this matter. He only had to convey the Peak Master's intention to the other party.
Ling Feng changed his tone, looked at Li Mu with a smile, waved his sword and said: "I entered the sword tower today not to accuse Elder Li, but to convey to you the master of Tianjian Peak, As well as the troubles from the senior officials, the main purpose is to challenge Elder Li, hoping to compete with Elder Li in the way of swordsmanship."
Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly startled, and then started to think seriously. After understanding the deep meaning of Ling Feng's words, it seemed that enough was enough to continue guarding the sword tower on the 100th floor.
"Since it is the intention of the Master of Tianjian Peak and the elders, I will naturally take it to heart." Li Mu looked at Ling Feng and nodded in response. Then, he waved his sword and said, "I am also looking forward to a discussion with fellow Daoist Ling. "
After that, Li Mu jumped onto the stage, looked at Ling Feng, and said: "Fellow Daoist Ling, please!"
Seeing this, Ling Feng smiled slightly, The figure flew down on the ring and stood opposite Li Mu. The atmosphere between the two became tense instantly, as if there was an invisible sword energy spreading between them.
"Elder Li, I'm offended!" Ling Feng clasped his fists and said, before he finished speaking, his body moved and turned into a sword light, galloping towards Li Mu.
Li Mu was not careless at all. He dodged Ling Feng's attack in a flash. At the same time, the long sword in his hand turned into a sword light and slashed towards Ling Feng.
The fight between the two broke out instantly.
The sword energy was vertical and horizontal, the sword light flickered, and the entire sword tower space was quickly filled with the sword energy of the two men. (End of this chapter)
