Chapter 42 Childe Qing Feng · the Clan Which Li Mu Was From

The Adjudicating Alliance co-founded by the three empires and the nine the Holy Clans aimed at handling disputes between governments and Jianghu, which was really influential around that world. Any warriors would become really serious when they just heard its name on that planet. Adjudicating Alliance had put a lot of pressure on small clans because it was bestowed with power to end any clans, however, Adjudicating Alliance had become less influential, and it seemed that people of Adjudicating Alliance fought for power with each other, and all their energy was put on that, so many immoral and evil clans or factions resuscitated.

When Feng Yuanxing was young, he had read many books and was quite knowledgeable, besides, he also participated in some activities about martial arts, therefore, he could be regarded as a person with some talents. Unfortunately, he could not change his destiny and become really successful due to his low social status, and being the secretary of Taibai County was actually the peak of his career. In the past few years, he had changed according to the changing circumstances and gradually been assimilated by Zhou Wu and Zheng Longxing, so eventually, he turned himself from a confident young man with ambition to a malicious and insidious middle-aged man. However, sometimes Feng Yuanxing, at late and quiet night, would wonder when he became the kind of person he hated most when he was in his prime, and at that time he would feel really sad and ashamed.

"Maybe it's time to change. It's better for me to swim against the current than to be carried along by the tide."

Feng Yuanxing sighed in his mind.

He followed Duan Shuiliu and went all the way back to the county government.

"I want to have a rest. Don't bother me until tomorrow morning."

As soon as they had returned to the county office, Duan Shuiliu returned to the back office and then disappeared after finishing that sentence.

At the front government office.

The little boy Qing Feng was lost in deep thoughts.

On the other hands, Ming Yue was full of excitement because she had watched Duan Shuiliu's killing performance all day long, and today was a treat for her, who really enjoyed watching the scene of bustle.

"I hope brother Duan can kill more people tomorrow. I just want to worship him." the violent and adorkable little Ming Yue said that with sparklingly stars in her eyes.

"It is estimated that there will be less than half of the Jianghu people in our county tomorrow." Qing Feng rubbed one of his temples like a young grownup, saying, "Brother Duan doesn't want to drive everyone away and exterminate them. The purpose of his terrifying kill today was to show our power and in the same time, warn and threaten those Wulin people who have done something terrible, and those guilt people will run away faster than rabbits. Tomorrow they should be all gone."

"Ah? No?" Ming Yue was disappointed when she heard Qing Feng's words and said, "They will be all gone? How can brother Duan make that happen? How can he let the bad guys run away?"

"Jianghu villains are like leeks in the field. They will grow later after you cut them off. It is impossible to kill them all." Feng Yuanxing seemed to remember something and sighed out, "Besides, the rule in Jianghu is supporting your own relatives other than helping the right side, so kill one person means you may provoke his or her teachers, friends, and relatives, which will cause you a series of troubles. How is it possible to kill them all?"

After hearing that, Ming Yue, who seemed to be in puzzlement, blinked her beautiful big eyes and said, "A series of troubles? So what? As long as they are bad people, just kill them all. Isn't it right?"

Feng Yuanxing just smiled and didn't continue to speak.

These things were too complicated, so it was really hard to explain clearly to a little girl.

Ming Yue was somewhat disappointed and held her chin, saying, "Oh, what a pity. I still want to look for fun tomorrow. That is not good."

Suddenly a voice came from the side door of the main hall, "What else do you want to see or look for fun? You are such a little idiot who always desires to see the world plunged into chaos?"

It was Li Mu's voice.

Li Mu went out from the side door.

"Young Master, have you finished your practice?" Ming Yue suddenly jumped up and said, "How come this time is so fast."

"I'm just a little hungry," said Li Mu in a not so good mood.

Li Mu looked at Feng Yuanxing and said, "How's everything going? Have Duan Shuiliu solved it?"

Feng Yuanxing did not dare to hesitate and said everything that happened today.

Li Mu nodded his head and said satisfactorily, "Well, My brother still get the invincible cutting methods as usual. Hahaha... With his support, I can close myself in the door to practice the martial arts without worry."

"I'm afraid things are not so optimistic." Qing Feng rubbed his temples slowly, opened his mouth like a senior man, saying, "Although today brother Duan has frightened some people, he cannot frighten everyone, such as people from Huya Faction and Sky Dragon Faction, so tomorrow's fight between them is inevitable. Besides, Wu Biao, the One Cut that Sends Man to Death, from Qingfeng Citadel has a bad temper, if he knows his son was killed by us, he will absolutely come here for revenge with all his armed forces regardless of his life. He will definitely give up his life even if the price of killing Duan Shuiliu is his own life. We are sure to deal with more troubles tomorrow. What's more, to control violence by violence is not the best way. We need to seek a wise solution."

Li Mu was very surprised to look at the little boy Qing Feng and said, "You little fellow, and you are not yet ten years old. How can you know and think so much? How can you know the character of that so-called One Cut that Sends Man to Death?"

"The childe Qing Feng is born a prodigy. He is really thoughtful and well-planned as if millions of soldiers are in his chest. I cannot be compared to him even if I am an adult, and I am really ashamed." On one side, Feng Yuanxing generously flattered Qing Feng in a simple and easy way.

After that, he said, "These days, Childe Qing Feng has been in charge of the governmental affairs and collected information from all sources. He has carefully investigated and studied those factions and martial arts masters that deserve our attention, moreover, he has prepared a lot of detailed information. Your honor, you have such a gifted young helper who devoted himself with heart and soul, which is adding wings to a tiger."

Li Mu laughed loudly, raised his hand and flicked Qing Feng hard, saying, "Such a little boy has so many thoughts all the day. Aren't you afraid of being premature?"

Qing Feng touched his head as if he was in great pain.

Looking at his expression, Li Mu burst out laughing heartlessly and said, "You see, this reaction is like a child under ten years old. Otherwise, I really think you are a monster... Speaking of it, I always thought that Ming Yue is the only monster around me. Now it seems that the real monster is not Ming Yue, but you, a young old boy."

Ming Yue really took pleasure in Qing Feng's behavior and laughed loudly.

Ming Yue was flicked so many times by Li Mu on her forehead. Today, Qingfeng finally got one, which eventually made her feel a little equal.

Feng Yuanxing kept silent smartly.

However, he knew that was a unique way of communication between the county magistrate Li Mu and his two little servants, which indicated their intimacy and mutual trust.

Qing Feng frowned bitterly and said, "Young Master, you have to pay attention to Huya Faction, Sky Dragon Faction, and Qingfeng Citadel, especially the latter one. You must be really careful." He really thought a lot for his undependable young master.

Feng Yuanxing also said, "Your honor, just like what Childe Qing Feng just said, that crazy owner of Qingfeng Citadel will bring a disaster to us if he really leads his men to attack our county, and our people will be seriously injured, besides, it will cause great harm to your honor's prestige and political achievements."

Li Mu curled his lips and thought he was an alien and did not need that shit political achievement.

However, the civilians in the county were indeed innocent. Li Mu knew that was actually caused by himself, so whether it was intentional or not, he should ultimately bear that responsibility.

"How far is it from Qingfeng Citadel to Taibai County?" Li Mu asked.

The little boy Qing Feng said without hesitation, "Qingfeng Citadel is located in Qingfeng Mountain, a branch of Taibai Mountain, and it is 300 miles away from Taibai County. Although the road is rugged, it can also run horses. If my calculation is right, Wu Biao, the One Cut that Sends Man to Death will receive news no later than tonight, then he will be anxious to come here without delay with his armed force. And I estimate they will attack our city gate on the early morning of tomorrow."

"Attack our city gate? How many armed soldiers are there in Qingfeng Citadel?" Li Mu asked again.

"Only cavalries can get to Taibai County on the early morning of tomorrow. There are 600 cavalries in Qingfeng Citadel, and all of them are elites." The little boy Qing Feng said again.

It could be seen that Qing Feng really did his homework. He calculated all possible factors and accurately deduced the time, route and force of Qingfeng Citadel's possible attack on Taibai County, which was absolutely a good job done by a qualified adviser.

Damn it, what a monster.

Li Mu scolded in his mind. Where on earth did that genuine Li Mu on that planet pick up those two little unusual children?

"Your honor, if we stay in the city, we can stick to fight for a while, but there are so many Jianghu people in the city that I am afraid they may collaborate from within with forces from outside at that time..." Feng Yuanxing said in a serious look.

But before Feng Yuanxing finished his sentence, Li Mu waved one of his hands and interrupted, saying, "Don't worry. I've already given notice to my faction, and they will send some people to deal with that so-called One Cut that Sends Man to Death, so people from Qingfeng Citadel cannot make it. Tomorrow, my brother Duan Shuiliu will go out and deal with Huya Faction and Sky Dragon Faction."

During the conversation, some people had brought up the prepared food: six dishes and one soup, which was very hearty.

With a cheer from Ming Yue, she rushed directly to the table.

"Hey? Wait, leave me some..." Li Mu also rushed over.

Thinking of Li Mu and Ming Yue always gobbling up all the food, little boy Qing Feng immediately changed his look and did not to be reserved and rushed over too.

Feng Yuanxing stood silently in his place, feeling frustrated.

Three odd people: Li Mu and his two little servants, Ming Yue and Qing Feng.

Why did they fight over a meal?

It was not like you could not eat after that one.

Besides, which faction did Li Mu come from? What kind of a faction was that? First, they sent a Duan Shuiliu who had frightened so many people, then they did not take the One Cut that Sends Man to Death from Qingfeng Citadel and his 600 elite cavalries seriously. Were they the Taibai Sword Faction? No, Taibai Sword Faction was famous for its swordsmanship, and its disciples never practiced Dao methods.

...

...

"My faction? Haha, I can create a faction of many people on my own."

In the practice room.

Li Mu laughed weirdly at the mirror as if his conspiracy had succeeded.

The so-called his brother Duan Shuiliu, of course, was his embodiment.

The practice had proved that after he had mastered Rocking-sky Hammer, the first move of Zhenwu Boxing, and Sky Hammer, the second move of Zhenwu Boxing, Li Mu's ability to control his muscles and bones had reached a level beyond ordinary people's reach. He had practiced The Way of Changing looks by Transforming Muscles and Bones in an unusual way, and that made him easily change his appearance, his height or even his figure, all of which helped the emergence of Brother Duan Shuiliu.

Chapter 43 Dao-Drawing Chopping

"I don't mean you. I mean all of you are rubbish."

That was Li Mu's favorite golden sentence when he was on the earth.

One of Li Mu's favorite movies was Stephen Chow's film "Love on Delivery", and Li Mu was a genuine fan of Stephen Chow. In that movie, the arrogant Japanese Karate Big Brother Duan Shuiliu was a very unique character, and he was good at making jokes when he was doing something cruel and serious, so Li Mu simply named himself another Duan Shuiliu.

He just thought it was really funny.

However, Li Mu was very satisfied with the effect of being Duan Shuiliu.

Now the whole Wulin people in Taibai County had gotten a definite news, that is, Li Mu was not fighting by himself, and he had a big brother with the extremely excellent Dao-using methods, and those series of information indicated Li Mu was not fighting alone, but he had a strong clan or faction behind him to support him, so it was not so hard to imagine such a clan or faction that could train powerful Li Mu and Duan Shuiliu could not be infamous. Therefore, those who wanted to teach Li Mu a lesson had to weigh the pros and cons.

"Haha, I am a genius. I can turn into so many people. I can be whoever I want to be endlessly. I can incarnate as different people, so I am able to create a whole clan just by myself. Then I can frighten those local people on this planet. Hahaha!"

Li Mu laughed really loudly.

The emergence of The Way of Changing looks by Transforming Muscles and Bones was really timely.

"Speaking of it, I really want to thank that noble Li Bing, the youngest son of Chang'an magistrate of a prefecture. Haha, now I am like the NPC that can kill any BOSS. That pretentious Li Bing came here in such a long distance had only got a lesson taught by me, but it is really a timely help for me to get the opportunity to fight with them and take their martial arts practice books. Haha!"

Li Mu tried to move his eyes and eyebrows when looking at the mirror.

He was trying to control his facial muscles.

The only defect of The Way of Changing looks by Transforming Muscles and Bones, or the flaw caused by Li Mu's control over his own muscles and bones, was that he could only be transformed into another person for about eight hours, then he would regain his original appearance after a long time's muscle rigidity and bones displacement.

And that transformation could only change the general shape and some facial features, but could not change some details, such as hair, skin features, or birthmarks, etc., so if people carefully observed him, flaws could be found.

However, that was enough.

Li Mu really wanted to give Li Bing, who was in the prison now, a delicious drumstick.

Li Mu turned back to his original appearance, sat cross-legged on the cattail in the training room, closed his eyes, and began to recall the process of his fighting with those Jianghu masters today.

In the eyes of outsiders, Duan Shuiliu, who transformed by Li Mu, almost successfully killed every Jianghu hero by one chop at a time. It seemed that there was no difference in all the processes, but in fact, Li Mu sensed, facing different martial arts masters with different levels, his feelings and gains were totally different.

Those gains, similar to perception, must be digested and integrated as soon as possible in order to be truly translated into his own combat power.

Otherwise, as time went on, he would forget it no matter how profound those insights were.

Li Mu sat quietly, deducing all the battles of today in his mind.

It was proved by those facts that actual combat was always one of the best ways for a warrior to improve himself.

In his lasting self-practicing, Li Mu integrated many nine-grade martial arts secret tactics and created his own "Wind-Cloud Six Moves". Among them, the most skilled and successful were "Dao-Drawing Chopping" and "Lightning Chopping". In today's battle, from beginning to end, he only used one move, which was the "Lightning Chopping", so he had reached an unprecedented level in terms of using that tactic.

In other words, Li Mu's understanding of the world's martial arts had improved qualitatively.

Before that, he only knew theories.

But now, he could understand the actual combat.

Countless great men on earth had told us that it would be very powerful if people could combine theories into practices.

Li Mu sat in the same place for two hours, then he suddenly stood up, went up quickly to fetch that long-handled podao on the weapon rack, and eventually posed a position of putting up that Dao to stand.

He was gaining momentum.

The next moment, in the void, a dreamy flash of Dao occurred.

That Dao was out of the sheath.

Dao-Drawing Chopping!

The power of that move was no less than that of Lightning Chopping.

On the earth, there was scary swordsmanship in Japanese called Laido, which was about the integration of human and sword before the sword was drawn and that preparing move was like the reservoir in the accumulation of mountain torrents. At that time, that swordsman was in a state of no flaws, and the enemy could not attack him or her. After the moment of the total unity of the swordsman’s spirit and inner qi, their fighting power had reached the peak, then he or she burst out like the flood breaking through the reservoir dam, and all of the force was concentrated in that single sword, and then he or she could almost destroy any opponent with that kind of power.

Laido was one of the top esoteric martial arts in Japan.

Li Mu's Dao-Drawing Chopping was born out of 36 Gale-like Blade Methods, and then adopted some strong points of other ninth-ranked swordsmanship tactics, which was similar to the Laido, however, Li Mu's Dao-Drawing Chopping was more powerful than those strong Japanese swordsmen on the earth.

After a move of Dao-Drawing Chopping, Li Mu stopped to think carefully and ponder. He carefully speculated and deduced to further improve.

Then Li Mu chopped again with his podao.

Lightning Chopping.

For the next hour, Li Mu kept practicing those two moves.

As for the remaining four moves of Wind-Cloud Six Moves, Li Mu simply gave up his intention to deduce them for the time being, because he found that he might not be able to do this with his current martial arts understanding, and he already exhausted all his martial arts knowledge to create Dao-Drawing Chopping and Lightning Chopping. If he forced himself to deduce those remaining four moves, he would probably not be able to deduce something that did not have the equal power of the first two moves.

It was deep night outside.

Li Mu stopped practicing Dao methods.

He came to the mirror in the training room again and ran The Way of Changing looks by Transforming Muscles and Bones to change his facial muscles and skeleton constantly. This process was like pinching a rubber man little by little, and eventually, Li Mu had transformed into another person completely.

This time, Li Mu had changed into a serious, tall old man.

"That's it. Haha, I will be the senior master of my imaginary faction."

Li Mu smiled.

It was time for him to prepare.

He turned around to wear another black warrior robe that was prepared in advance. He had worn a headband and a black square towel on his head and covered with a black matte soft armor on his body. Then he took out the silver bow that had been secretly collected and dyed it black with ink and placed all the 20 wolf-tooth arrows matching the bow in the kettle, all wrapped up in black cloth and tied behind him.

After thinking a while, Li Bing took the long-handled podao with him and fetched something like steel wires, hook locks and phosphorus bombs from Li Bing in case of emergency. After those preparations, Li Mu got out from the secret door of the training room.

The former county magistrate spent a lot of time to build the back office. The weapons including those 18 kinds of blades were all made of fine steel, which was really precious. Even the training room was equipped with a secret door, and it took Li Mu several days to find those. When he walked out of the secret door of the training room, he came to the outside of the back yard of the county office.

Taibai County was built on a hillside, with gentle hillside on the sunny slope and steep slopes on the shade side.

The county office was situated on the top of the highest mountain in Taibai County, overlooking the whole city. Outside the back wall of the county office's backyard, there were dense weeds and forests. Walking along the dense forests for about 1000 meters, Li Mu reached the shady slope, which was a cliff abyss surrounded by fog all day long. He once heard that there was a spring from a river gushing out in the middle of the cliff and roaring down the cliff, forming nine waterfalls, which was really magnificent.

Li Mu's figure was flashing, and he used the Sky Hammer, the second move of Zhenwu Boxing, to run the lightness skill, then he instantly disappeared into the jungle outside the backyard of the county office like a smoke.

After crossing the dense forest, he could see the cliff abyss was in front of him.

Those two moons were in the high sky with cold light coming out, which was beautiful.

Li Mu nearly did not hesitate at all and jumped down the cliff.

Of course, he did not commit suicide but took a shortcut down the hill to intercept the possible attack of Qingfeng Citadel and completely extinguished the disaster before they came to Taibai County. The reason why he took the shortcut was that he went out as an incarnation so naturally, he could not let others know.

Jumping off this cliff, Li Mu could go all the way to the bottom of the mountain, which was the fastest way.

With the lightness skill of Zhenwu Boxing, Li Mu drifted slowly down like a feather at a very slow speed. Occasionally, he grabbed the rattan and rested on the cliff, or inserted directly into the cliff with his palms to hang and rest. After several times of resting, he had dropped nearly three or four hundred meters.

The roar of the waterfall in his ears became clearer and clearer.

It suddenly occurred to Li Mu that he had apparently reached to the legendary location of the Nine-dragons Spring Fall.

Several days ago, little monster Qing Feng crammed a lot of astronomical, geographical and personnel knowledge to Li Mu, so Li Mu could still recall the information about that fall. However, no matter how vivid the description was, it was much clear and shocking to see the spectacular Nine-dragons Fall in his own eyes.

It was really hard to imagine such a spring fall could erupt in that rock cliff.

That water was so majestic that it seemed like a sea-eye burst. Besides, the sound of that fall was like thunder, which was extremely amazing.

Li Mu felt amazed in his mind.

He thought it was because the waterfall was too far from the top of the cliff, so he didn't hear the sound of the waterfall falling like thunder when he was in the backyard of the county office.

"The world was full of Spiritual Qi, and also the geography of mountains and rivers could not be measured by the physical dimension of the earth. I really wonder what kind of secret river or water is hidden in the mountain walls. I will definitely get closer to observe the waterfall carefully when I get time. Maybe, I can find another Water Curtain Cave just like in the novel Journey to the West."
