Li Mu, the Demon Smelt Tower, and the Golden Dragon were entangled in the fight, circling the sky above the endless sea, exchanging blows and fleeing.
Essentially, it was Li Mu versus the Tower - repeatedly facing off against each other.
When the Golden Dragon rushed over, Li Mu turned around and ran.
Or, when the Golden Dragon rushed up to fight with Li Mu, he turned around to flee when the Tower came chasing him.
Each time, only two or three moves were made before Li Mu tore himself away from the fight to escape.
Relying on his skill of Shrinking Earth, Li Mu could swiftly and easily travel many thousands of miles away in an instant.
Escaping was clearly the easiest option for Li Mu.
While escaping, Li Mu familiarized himself with the rules of control.
Concurrently, he compressed the emperor-level sword essence into the jade slip. His tactic was to quickly release it every time they exchanged blows.
