Wuming was still in shock as he looked at Li Xiu and spoke.
"Your martial arts skills have reached a godly level, I, Wuming, willingly surrender and beg you to spare my disciple, Jianchen."
Even during the fight, Li Xiu was still using his force field to keep Jianchen humiliated and lying on the ground. He did not see the fight between Wuming and Li Xiu, so he was full of doubts. Now that he heard Wuming surrendering so easily, his eyes widened in disbelief and his heart was filled with shock.
Jianchen knew his master's character well. Although he was usually gentle and polite, once he fought, he would not give in. He knew that Wuming's martial arts skills were deep and immeasurable, far beyond the ordinary world. But today, he willingly admitted defeat to the opponent, which made Jianchen, who had always been proud of his status as Wuming's disciple, very difficult to accept.
At the same time, fear rose in Jianchen's heart like a tide, drowning and suffocating him. His master couldn't even defeat the other person, so wasn't his life now truly in the hands of others!
"I don't like your disciple, didn't you warn him to be cautious when traveling in the martial arts world, to watch his words and actions, so as to avoid offending people he couldn't afford to offend, and suddenly losing his life?"
Li Xiu's cold words made Wuming feel that this matter might be difficult to resolve.
"Or, do you think that as the disciple of Wuming, he can act recklessly?"
"I dare not, I dare not."
The disciple's life was in Li Xiu's hands, and Wuming had to endure it, constantly waving his hands, but there was a hint of embarrassment on his face at being guessed right.
It must be said that Wuming did have this idea in his mind, that it was a common practice in the martial arts world for an disciple to cause trouble for their master. He thought that he could let Jianchen act recklessly and cause trouble without any problem. He had roamed the martial arts world for half his life and never thought there was anything he couldn't do or resolve. But who would have known that he would meet such a terrifying person today.
Li Xiu, seeing Wuming's expression, raised his eyebrows, and said calmly, "Since you haven't taught him well, just kill him and find someone with a better mentality later."
Jianchen had it easy from a young age, this was his first time in the martial arts world, and he had never experienced setbacks or threats to his life before. Hearing Li Xiu's words, he felt his heart race and sweat drenched his snow-white clothes, which were now dirtied and blackened. He no longer had the elegance and radiance he had as before.
"Senior! Senior! As a young man just starting out in the martial arts world, I was ignorant and did not recognize a real god. Please show mercy and spare my life!"
Jianchen pleaded with Li Xiu, his face pressed against the ground and his breathing rapid, causing a cloud of dust to rise up.
Wuming, seeing this, couldn't help but frown and feel dissatisfaction. He had never seen Jianchen like this. No one is not afraid of death, but how could he be so undignified! All of his teachings over the past decade had gone to waste!
Li Xiu glanced down and captured Jianchen with his force field. Without any concealment, Jianchen's fear and dishevelment became even more obvious and disappointment appeared on Li Xiu's face.
"I am not a real god, but you have offended me, so you must pay a price."
Li Xiu said calmly.
"Senior, I am willing to pay any price, as long as you spare my life."
Jianchen, like a straw doll, was controlled and casually pulled around by Li Xiu. Seeing the indifferent and cold look in Li Xiu's eyes, he became even more scared.
"However! Your martial arts are so weak and your mentality is not worth mentioning, what can you pay as a price?"
Li Xiu gave him a cold look, and his tone suddenly changed, making Jianchen feel as if his heart was being fiercely grabbed by a big hand, and he couldn't breathe.
Jianchen was stunned for a few seconds, his eyes flickered as if he had thought of something, and then he suddenly turned to Wuming and kept shouting: "Master, save me! Save my life!"
Wuming sighed, his eyebrows drooping as if he aged several years in an instant, and then he stepped forward and said: "I don't know what you have ordered, I am willing to do my best, I just hope you can spare my disciple."
Although Wuming referred to Jianchen as a "little disciple," it is often equivalent to the word "beloved disciple." Wuming's mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't say those two words at the moment.
"Fine, I just hope that if I ever call for you, you will be there at my beck and call!"
Li Xiu said without mercy, making Wuming appear weak and pitiful for a moment.
Li Xiu nodded with satisfaction. Emperor Shitian had found seven great experts for the dragon slaughtering. He had the power of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun and Wuming with a 10% success rate, along with tens of thousands of soldiers. He was definitely superior, and the dragon-slaughtering mission had an eight or nine in ten chance of success.
After a brief thought, Li Xiu pulled out a green pill from his pocket and used his force field to open Jianchen's mouth and popped it in.
The strange color of the pill certainly wasn't any kind of medicine, Wuming's face was filled with anger upon seeing this, and he shouted: "Sir, you don't trust me, Wuming! Since I have agreed to come, I will not escape, why do this!"
Faced with Wuming's questioning, Li Xiu's expression was calm. He threw Jianchen, who was constantly coughing and trying to spit out the pills in a state of extreme fear, in front of Wuming. He spoke softly, "I naturally trust you, Wuming, but your disciple may not be the same. I have to add some measures just in case."
"Don't worry, as long as he takes the antidote every seven days, he will be fine, and after the matter is over, I have ways to completely remove the poison from him."
After the death of Xiongba, he left behind many things, and such control poison, how could a treacherous warlord like him not have it? It was very precious and had some drawbacks, even Xiongba did not use it often, it was cheap for Li Xiu.
Li Xiu only picked out a part and said, taking the antidote every seven days is only suppressing the poison's outbreak, this poison does not have a complete cure, even if he took the antidote constantly, he would not live more than a few months.
However, a few months of time is enough for him to successfully conquer the imperial city and kill the dragon. Li Xiu rubbed his fingers and a cold light flashed in his eyes, looking outside the hall and looking in a certain direction.
In the imperial city of Central Plains, Juewushen sat on a dragon chair wearing a yellow dragon robe, full of energy and spirit.
In the past month, he had completely controlled the city firmly in his own hands, and all the dissenting voices in the imperial guards and the city soldiers had disappeared, and several cities in Central Plains had sent surrender letters to him.
Juewushen looked at the map on the golden table and was thinking about how to quickly attack several cities and connect the cities that surrendered to him, at that time, the country would be in its infancy, he could try to claim the emperor.
At this time, suddenly Juexin came in without notice, and received a cold glance from Juewushen, Juexin's expression choked, and silently took out an urgent secret message from his chest and presented it to Juewushen.
Juewushen also knew that it was an important matter and did not scold him. He opened the letter and looked at it briefly, but couldn't help but change his expression and stood up from the dragon chair.
