Chapter 445 Don't underestimate firearms!
What a "bad boy" Li Muxuan! He should be called an old rascal now! No martial ethics! He resorts to sneak attacks! Bullying a young comrade like me, Li Muyang!
Fortunately, it was all within Old Li's expectations, and he reacted quickly! Taking Li Muxuan's slap directly in the face was out of the question! The damage wouldn't be significant, but the humiliation would be immense! It wasn't a matter of pain; it was a matter of losing face! Even if it didn't break his defenses, he shouldn't have done that! He directly retaliated with a backhand strike, exchanging a slap with Li Muxuan!
When their palms collided, Old Li remained as steady as Mount Tai and did not move, while Li Muxuan was sent flying, crashing into several trees along the way!
Li Muxuan was stunned as he got up. What was going on? Why did the force feel so strange? He was uncontrollably sent flying, and why didn't he feel any pain after crashing into so many trees?
Meanwhile, Li Muyang, who was opposite him, had already drawn his sword and was slowly walking towards Li Muxuan, saying, "Grandpa Li, considering that we are from the same family, I won't kill you! Don't worry! Although the principal scolded you, I can tell that he still really wants to see you. Oh, by the way, Grandpa Hong must miss you too!"
"Don't worry! It'll be quick! It won't hurt! It'll be over in the blink of an eye!"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Muxuan had already dodged aside, and where he had stood was a sword mark that stretched as far as the eye could see, piercing through most of Nasen Island! It even left a mark on the sea surface that could not be repaired for a long time!
Li Muxuan broke out in a cold sweat! Holy crap! Are they trying to kill me? If I hadn't dodged in time, I'd probably be split in two!
You think it'll just pass by in the blink of an eye? I bet if you close your eyes, you never have to open them again!
"Grandpa Li! Don't dodge! What if I miss? It would hurt the flowers and plants! This Nathan Island is your granddaughter's territory, after all!" Li Muyang earnestly advised, "You don't want me to split Nathan Island in two with one sword, do you?"
Li Muxuan's lips twitched violently as he leisurely retorted, "Good lad! Put down your sword before you talk to me."
To everyone's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Muyang flicked his hand, and the sword in his hand disappeared.
Li Muyang spread his arms wide, indicating that he was unarmed, and shrugged helplessly: "I already told you, Grandpa Li, the principal only asked me to pass on a message. Actually, the one who wants to take you back is me."
"You've been on the run for most of your life, are you planning to keep going? If so, you're truly hopeless!"
Hearing Li Muyang's words, Li Muxuan fell silent. To be honest, he was also conflicted. The moment he saw Lu Lin using the Reverse Life Triple Technique, the old man had already gone through all the possibilities in his mind! He had even considered the possibility of not running away anymore and returning to Great Xia to admit his mistakes!
However, he's a coward! He can't bear to lose face! He'd be too ashamed to face his family and friends back home!
Now... Li Muxuan felt that he would have been better off being killed by Li Muyang's sword just now!
"Young man, you just said we're related? So you're also surnamed Li?" Li Muxuan said with a troubled expression, trying to establish a connection. "Sigh... can't you just leave me alone? Spare me! I've already come all this way!"
Li Muyang pressed on, "Sir! Some things you can't escape just by running away!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, even if you die here today, I can still go to the underworld and pull you out! Even if your soul is scattered to the winds, I will still go to the river of time and space to retrieve you and bring you back!"
Li Muxuan (＃｀д′)?: Damn! What a despicable young man!
"Young man! I advise you not to be so hot-blooded!" Li Muxuan said in a low voice, barely suppressing his anger, "I'm begging you! This is a matter for the older generation! Why are you meddling in it!"
Li Muxuan thought Li Muyang wouldn't let him off so easily. He just wanted to buy himself some time to think it over, or to find a reason to fight Li Muyang. To be honest, the young man in front of him was indeed strong, but Li Muxuan was no pushover either.
Fine! Didn't you say you were going to take me back no matter what? Then beat me half to death and take me back!
Unfortunately, Li Muyang isn't one to play by the rules!
Faced with Li Muxuan, who was driven to desperation, Li Muyang only looked at him with pity, and after a long silence, he turned around and slowly left.
As he walked away, he left behind a parting remark: "Fine! It's just going home! You're going to be a coward for the rest of your life! Go ahead and run! Let's see if you can run forever! What will you have left in the end? Don't end up with no one to even collect your corpse!"
After saying that, he spat out a mouthful of saliva with great disdain (Hey! Why are you urinating and defecating indiscriminately?), and then his whole body turned into gas and disappeared into the ground.
Li Muxuan was left standing there blankly, looking completely lost and powerless. After a long while, he finally ran off in one direction.
Yes, it's in the direction of the central royal palace on Nathan Island.
After giving Li Muxuan a severe dressing-down, Li Muyang, who was deep underground on Nasen Island, slowly opened his eyes and withdrew his avatar. That's right, the one who had just given Li Muxuan a severe beating was not Li Muyang's true body, but only a temporary clone he had created.
Because his true form is still busy with work.
"It seems like we can't persuade this old man. Let Zhang Chulan and the others go instead." Li Muyang muttered to himself. In fact, he wasn't very firm in his decision about whether to take Li Muxuan back, because even he couldn't say for sure what would happen if he did.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Will things develop the same way as the original plot, and will Li Muxuan eventually die at the hands of Old Master Lu Jin?
If it really is the original plot, Li Muyang really doesn't know whether he should bring Li Muxuan back. Wouldn't that be like taking Li Muxuan back to his death? Although this guy did some bad things in his early years, it has nothing to do with Li Muyang. Old Li's relationship with Li Muyang is more of a personal one with Lu Jin and Zhang Xuanlin.
Li Muyang couldn't control the affairs of the older generation, but he couldn't add fuel to the fire either!
Perhaps we should also consider Hong Anguo's influence.
In short, it's clear that neither Hong Anguo nor Zhang Xuanlin wanted Li Muxuan to go back, but they wanted to see him and didn't want Lu Jin to know... It's just that these things are really complicated!
Because Li Muxuan knew perfectly well that any choice he made would have made things infinitely better, yet every single one of his choices led to the worst possible outcome! Until finally, with no other options left, he simply ran away!
So Li Muxuan is a coward!
Li Muyang thought that this old man had a very stubborn temper! Maybe a little provocation would make him go back. Unexpectedly, Li Muxuan's fear of going back to face his old friend actually overcame his stubbornness!
Coward! This is real cowardice! Hopelessly cowardly!
So it wasn't that Li Muyang let him go, but rather that he had already looked down on Li Muxuan! He couldn't take that step, so he might as well continue to eke out a living! Even if he were forcibly taken back to Daxia to see the old men like Lu Jin, what would be the point?
Admit your mistake? Or add fuel to the fire?
Let a professional like Zhang Chulan handle this!
Li Muyang was not in a hurry to intervene in what was happening on Nathan Island, because there was no need. His goal was to take the Divine Tree legitimately, and now was not the best time for him to make his move.
All we have to do is wait.
During this time, drones from Nathan Island spread across the island, broadcasting evacuation routes. The Behemoths could only watch helplessly, as they didn't have the energy to stop Nathan's actions, especially since they had a group of Li Muyang's men watching them.
Before they knew it, the sun rose the next day, and the people of Behemoth had already begun their work.
Unfortunately, this was all just playful banter. They didn't even use live ammunition; they only used air guns, which had very limited lethality. They were fine against ordinary people, but this time their targets were all superhumans, and they were using tranquilizer darts.
The islanders of Konasen Island didn't know that! All they knew was that they had repelled the invaders and won! Under the leadership of King Konasen and the Divine Tree!
Being backward doesn't necessarily mean you'll be attacked; it depends on whether others want to attack you!
Daylight passed quickly, and night fell once again on Nathan Island. The night was dark and windy, a time for murder and arson.
The people of Behemoth never claim to be philanthropists! They are a group of capitalists who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals!
Since they won't listen to gentle persuasion, then we'll have to resort to force.
Open the door! Free trade!
The use of real guns and ammunition completely shattered Nathan Island's confidence!
A Nathan Islander, who was poised to shoot down a helicopter atop a mountain, had his once-sturdy protective shield instantly crumble like paper when hit by a sniper rifle's armor-piercing round, and was blown apart in an instant.
This is the real reality! Don't blindly overestimate the power of so-called extraordinary worlds while underestimating the strength of technology and firearms! In fact, if you're killed, you die!
If this were within the strength of Li Muyang's main world, the destructive power of these firearms would be only average, and they wouldn't have such destructive power in a single encounter.
Even the weakest Golden Core cultivator can withstand bullets for a while with a barrier. Even the most powerful armor-piercing bullets can be withstood for a while. Those at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining levels, as long as they can detect the movement and direction, can generally dodge the not-too-dense bullets.
But in this world, the inhabitants of Nathan Island? They are just a group of ordinary people who have mastered some special abilities.
Not to mention Behemoth's firepower isn't just limited to bullets! They have rocket launchers, bombs, high-explosive shells, sonic weapons, and more. Behemoth has prepared a comprehensive countermeasure against Nathan Island's high-end combat capabilities! Their intelligence capabilities are completely overwhelming!
Before long, even Nathan's side had suffered casualties.
The first one to meet his end was Mochizuki Satoru, known as the "Sword Saint." This Japanese man was a descendant of the Mochizuki family, and his swordsmanship was indeed quite good, far surpassing that of Ishikawa Ken and the other two! He may have already touched the realm of the Sword Saint, but unfortunately, he was still not strong enough.
Furthermore, since his abilities were entirely derived from his own talent and extensive training, the people of Behemoth believed that there was no possibility or value in mass production and development.
So he was brutally riddled with bullets and reduced to ashes. His remains were eventually collected by Behemoth's men and handed over to Ishikawa Shin of the Fish-Dragon Society. Chairman Ishikawa planned to take them back to Japan to bury his old friend.
