Chapter 0007: The Secrets of Golden Escape
Spend the least amount of money to accomplish the greatest tasks
Conditions that are as trivial as a child's play
I did not expect it to be merely a verbal promise; if they do not agree, wouldn't they also appear foolish!
Shopkeeper!
Of course. Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "For a period of three months, I will hire both of you as our guards to protect me and the young lady who has fainted. After three months, we will part ways amicably and go our separate paths."
I know my limits" replied Tie Chuanjia in a muffled voice to Li Mu
The White Snake shook her head slightly, glanced back, and thought the other party was too strange; it was better to be cautious
Tie Chuanjia poured another glass of wine
The wine cup at the edge of the iron armor was abruptly halted at the lips.
This moment
"We agree, we agree!" said the Twin Serpents of Blood in unison.
Li Mu cast a disdainful glance at the innkeeper. In the world of martial arts, inns witness countless brawls and fights every year; one could even become a martial arts master just by picking up a manual! You claim you have never seen blood? What a lie!
The dual serpents of azure blood feel quite incredible
If time could be turned back, he would not even want to step into this inn
The tormented black snake can no longer endure it
"Intelligent, of course, there are conditions." Li Mu glanced appreciatively at the White Snake, "During the period of employment, you must not escape without permission, you must obey the employer one hundred percent, which means my orders, prioritize the safety of the employer one hundred percent, and must not engage in any actions that harm the employer or collude with others to harm the employer. This must be adhered to; if you do not agree, it would be better for me to kill you!"
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak
Gudu!
Damn it, what a way of thinking
Ironclad clearly refuses to offer assistance
The character from "Bitter Blood, Twin Serpents" is so ruthless that he forced someone to cry
He has the desire to beg for mercy, but when he recalls the ruthless reputation they have built over more than ten years of wandering the martial world, the words for mercy simply cannot be uttered!
"Young hero, killing is nothing more than a mere act, grant us a swift end..." The face of the White Snake turned crimson; he felt even worse than the Black Snake. Kneeling on one knee with both hands raised was too humiliating. He had maintained this posture for the duration of a tea break, and even if he were to survive, all his past glory would be utterly lost.
The Iron Transmission Armor can already foresee what kind of chaos Li Mu will bring to the martial world after stepping into it
The black snake cautiously asked, "Young hero, are you speaking the truth"
Who would be willing to die if they can survive
Who among respectable people behaves like him
The black snake's mentality collapsed, tears streaming down his face: "Enough! Kid, my brother and I are outmatched, we admit defeat. If you want to kill us or torture us, just make it quick. There’s no need to toy with us like this!"
Indeed, he is a fool
A solution must be quickly devised
"Willingly?" Li Mu asked
Li Mu had no choice but to find a solution on his own
Li Mu turned his gaze towards the last living person in the inn, the innkeeper who was huddled behind the counter watching the show
At this moment, he was extremely reluctant to speak with Li Mu
The shopkeeper jumped more than 3 meters away, smiling and waving his hands: "Young hero, spare me! I am just like you, I have never seen blood on my hands!"
If it were someone else, they would not hold any hope, but Li Mu's thought process is clearly different from that of ordinary people; perhaps it might actually come true!
The moment the Azure Lotus Sword was released from the hand
One must never break one's persona, even in death
In the case of a psychological disorder, it is clearly unlikely that he could rely on himself to smash his own head with a hammer
Whoosh
It turns out that being completely disarmed and using the Golden Escape technique is the perfect match
Li Mu held the silver and looked around.
The martial world is about to be thrown into chaos
The standoff has lasted too long, and the looks from the people in the inn towards him have already changed!
The gentle smile of the youth before me resembles that of a devil, wantonly trampling upon the fragile little heart of the azure-blooded twin serpents
However, for some reason, he did not want to remind Li Mu at all; in fact, he even wanted Li Mu to personally experience the harsh realities of the world, to let him see what the true nature of the world is!
The black snake's eyes brightened, and it quickly echoed, "Yes, we will commit suicide, ensuring that the reputation of the young hero's merciful sword remains untarnished"
White Snake: Seize the opportunity
Li Mu stood there, his entire being full of flaws
What are the conditions? asked the White Snake
Ironclad armor
White Snake
Li Mu was in a very good mood, as he had finally discovered the true essence of the Golden Escape.
Black Snake: Are you running?
Their eyes sparkled with brilliance
The north wind blew, causing the blue cotton door curtain to sway slightly. Li Mu let out a quiet sigh, lamenting that the middle schooler Ah Fei, who would kill for fifty taels of silver, was not present; otherwise, he would not have to go through such trouble
The people in the inn could not help but shiver, further solidifying their resolve not to provoke Li Mu
A notification sound indicating the success of the skill echoed in his mind, and Li Mu relaxed his expression, casually retracting the Qinglian Sword. He clasped his hands and said, "Congratulations to both of you, your lives are preserved!"
The skill of Jin Dun has repeatedly failed, and Li Mu is somewhat frustrated: "I don't want this either! But no one is willing to take on this task!"
When the hammer was inserted back into Li Mu's waist, the black snake let out a sigh, and the heart that had been hanging in suspense temporarily settled back into the belly
Everyone hurriedly avoided his gaze; killing is simple, but no one is willing to deal with that eccentric and unpredictable madman
"Old buddy, take it easy, don't get yourself drunk to the point of collapse, I can't take care of two drunks!" Seeing Tie Chuanjia looking like he was about to get himself drunk, Li Mu reminded him
They actually let them go, and the two exchanged a surprised glance, feeling it was quite unbelievable
The long-standing collaboration has fostered a sense of mutual understanding between the two individuals
The activation of the Gold Escape skill has failed for the first time
"Shopkeeper, do you want to earn some extra money? Help me kill the Blood-Red Twin Serpents, and the silver will be yours." As he spoke, Li Mu activated the skill of Golden Escape. If the Iron Armor did not assist, there were still others, right?
The Twin Serpents of Azure Blood instantly regained their freedom
Tie Chuanjia was momentarily taken aback, instinctively pulling out a few taels of scattered silver from his pocket and handing them to Li Mu. Li Mu's rhythm was too erratic, and he found it somewhat difficult to keep up.
Black Snake
Black Snake
The second failure of the Golden Escape skill
White Snake
Better to live in a difficult situation than to die easily
The iron armor's rear molars felt somewhat tight, and Li Mu's gaze became increasingly strange. He wanted to say something, but being tongue-tied, he didn't know what to say. This was also the first time he had encountered such a situation
The young hero laughed and said, "I have no enmity with the Twin Blood Serpents, how could I harm their lives for a mere few taels of silver?" The man in blue, a figure from the martial world, resolutely rejected Li Mu, then stood up and calmly sat down at the adjacent table. However, the chair he knocked over as he got up revealed that he was not as composed as he appeared.
Clearly, the probabilistic golden escape is not as effective as being able to snatch a weapon from an unarmed opponent. Li Mu frowned slightly and turned to the table beside him: "Brother in the blue clothes, you have been watching the commotion for quite a while. I see you are carrying a sword, so you must also be a person of the martial world. How about you help me with this task? Not only can you rid the martial world of a menace, but you can also earn some pocket money in the process!"
"Uncle Tie, lend me a few taels of silver! I will pay you back later!" Li Mu turned to look at Tie Chuanjia.
Li Mu decisively retracted the hammer
Tie Chuanjia silently took the wine jug from the table beside him, filled it with white liquor, and drank it all in one go
As long as I can escape the current predicament, even if I cannot kill that strange-handed boy, fleeing would suffice
The gold escape skill was successful
The aroma of the wine was strong, yet Tie Chuanjia could not discern any flavor; he simply wished to do something to quiet his mind
The black snake stirred restlessly, casting a glance at the white snake. Shall we make a move?
Cough! Li Mu coughed once, threw the silver in his hand to the Blood-Red Twin Serpents, and said, "You two, stop exchanging glances; those who don't know might think you are practicing the Glance Sword! Take the silver; our agreement is settled!"
Willingly! The twin snakes of azure blood nodded.
If he had not entered the inn, he would not have met Li Xiaobai, and thus would not have witnessed these scenes that challenged his thoughts
What other means of control involving poison might there be
The White Snake gritted its teeth and said: "Young hero, why not let us go? We brothers will commit suicide."
This person is definitely a madman
Indeed, there are no useless skills in the world
Madness has taken over, this world of martial arts has completely gone insane
He really wants to tell Li Mujiang that the world is perilous and it is not played this way
The path twists and turns
Looking at the two individuals, the Blood-Red Twin Serpents, Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I use this few taels of silver to hire both of you as my bodyguards, what do you think?"
