Li Dao turned his gaze towards the few martial artists that had arrived. Mo Wuyi was expressionless.

After Li Dao swept his gaze across them, the martial artists felt a chill run down their spines.

"You really want the manual?" Li Dao asked.

He really didn't understand. Was the secret manual really more important than his own life? Or was he not fierce enough?

"Nonsense, this is a secret manual from the Divine Arts. Those who are able to do so must have it." One of the scarred men answered.

Although the others had ugly expressions on their faces, they did not retreat. Sometimes, he just had to give it a try. If he didn't, how would he be able to succeed?

They felt that since Li Dao had first fought Song Xuanyang and then killed Tang Xiaohu, his inner force was definitely exhausted. Moreover, there were so many of them. How could they not be able to defeat him?

Li Dao carefully sized them up. Three of them were at the fifth level precelestial while the other two were at the fourth level. No wonder they had the courage to chase after him.

"I, Li Jun, have a kind nature and am unwilling to kill more. I advise you to leave and not force me."

Li Dao said coldly as he placed his hand on his sword sheath. What he said was the truth, but hearing it from a few people meant something else.

"That kid must have run out of inner strength. Brothers, let's work together to kill him." How about deciding on the location of the secret manual when the time comes? "

The scar-faced man looked at the other four and said.

"Brother Hu's words are reasonable, I have no objections."

Another one of the four stood up and said. The other three also followed suit.

Li Dao sneered again and again. Humans were truly complex creatures. They were afraid of death, but they were also incomparably greedy. In front of enough benefits, they could even suppress their fear of death.

The long sword was instantly unsheathed with a crisp sound.

"If you want to die, I'll grant you that wish!"

Just as he finished his sentence, Li Dao's long sword pierced straight towards the scar-faced man, its speed as fast as lightning.

Facing five people with higher inner force skills, Li Dao brazenly attacked.

The difference in combat strength could never be determined by one's inner strength. It was just like when you formed an alliance. Those with poor equipment could die, even those with good equipment.

If these five were to work together, they would indeed be rather hard to deal with, but that was limited to just that.

An hour later, the only martial artist left collapsed onto the ground, the saber in his hand thrown to the side. Kicking off his legs, his butt rubbed against the ground as he retreated, muttering, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

However, how could Li Dao be soft-hearted? He slashed out his long sword and a huge head shot up into the sky.

At this point, Li Dao no longer felt much about killing people.

The first time he had killed someone was when he was acting tyrannically, so he did not panic. He did not know why, but he was not born with the respect for life.

In the vast universe, there was no difference between humans and plants. In Li Dao's eyes, there was no difference between a person and a plant. Only the supreme power was the path to Transcendence, the true eternity.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sword clean. Then, he walked towards the city.

At night, Li Dao stayed in the best inn in Guangyuan City. Under the candlelight, he opened the yellowed book.

He did not care about what happened in the martial arts world. All his attention was focused on the book in his hands.

What surprised him was that this secret manual was not the Mysterious Scripture that he had imagined.

Amongst metal-attribute martial artists, there had been a history of the Supreme Mystery Scripture in the industry, and metal element martial artists were of the same lineage. Therefore, Li Yao naturally believed that Li Taibai's martial arts technique was the Supreme Mystery Scripture.

However, he realized that it was not the case. He flipped open the book and saw the words Green Lotus Sword Manual written in large characters.

From the name, it seemed to be a martial arts manual on the Dao of the Sword.
