When he saw that Gu Lin not only did not retreat, but instead took the initiative to attack, Li Mu also let out a cold snort. He immediately gripped the long sword in his hand tightly, and stomped heavily on it. Instantly, the hard stone tiles beneath his feet were shattered into pieces.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Facing the incoming flaming longsword, the long spear in Gu Lin's hand still hacked furiously. A shocking Spiritual Energy exploded out when the spear and sword clashed. In an instant, the surrounding stone chairs were turned to dust by that Qi.

A cold smile surfaced on Gu Lin's face when he saw this. You are still not qualified to compete with me. Immediately, the long spear in his hand was once again grasped. With a jerk of his arm, spear afterimages began to appear.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

In an instant, a strong gale swept out from the spear, and sparks of fire shot out in all directions. In an instant, Li Mu's arm was actually trembling, why was the strength of this kid's body so strong? Seeing this, Li Mu did not choose to take the blow head on; instead, he shook his hand, and a fiery light spread out from the flaming sword.

"Creak, creak!"

This fiery light was extremely strange. It actually ignited a creaking sound on top of the red lotus spirit spear. The fiery light seemed to be able to burn Spiritual Energy as it slowly devoured the Spiritual Energy condensed on top of the red lotus spirit spear.

Seeing this scene, Gu Lin's expression couldn't help becoming more serious. The flaming longsword in Li Mu's hand probably had quite a bit of history. It actually seemed to be able to burn the Spiritual Energy of the Red Lotus God-down Spear.

"Break for me!"

However, this devouring only lasted for a short period of time. Following Gu Lin's low roar, the body of the spear shook and a bewitching red lotus appeared, emitting a faint luster. After which, the red lotus swallowed the fire in a single gulp.

"Humph!"

Seeing that Gu Lin had not only blocked his own flame but was also attacking himself, he also let out a cold snort. Spiritual Energy erupted out of his body and the flaming longsword became restless under this level of Spiritual Energy. Then above Li Mu's head, accompanied by the cry of a sparrow, a Vermillion Bird appeared once again.

Compared to last time, this Vermillion Bird was even more violent. It was like a volcano erupting, and the power of fire within its body had already reached an extremely frightening level.

"Grade eight spirit art, Ancient Vermillion Bird Sword!"

A deep sound was suddenly emitted from Li Mu's mouth. Immediately after, the flaming longsword in his hand suddenly expanded, perfectly fusing together with the Vermillion Bird above his head. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he furiously hacked at Gu Lin without any emotion.

Boom!

Before this sword could reach Gu Lin, Gu Lin felt a burning sensation on his face. When everyone saw this sword, astonishment flashed across their eyes, especially those experts at the great circle of the Spirit Gathering Realm. They knew that they were unable to withstand this sword attack, and even Brother Bai and Wu Sha, who was seated in the middle, had a strange look in their eyes.

Li Mu was a half-step sage expert after all; his methods were truly powerful. He was much stronger than the others before him. Even Li Bin didn't have the ability to swallow a Vermillion Bird's loathsome fruit.

"Change the Big Dipper Seven Flames Formation, Devil Slayer!"

"Big Dipper Seven Flames Formation, Second Transformation, Slash!"

The dragon wings on Gu Lin's back unfurled and his figure quickly retreated. Spiritual Energy gushed out from his body as the four ghost-like beast fires within his body also appeared above his head while he was muttering to himself. They formed a flaming array and collided fiercely against the sword in Li Mu's hand with monstrous flames.

Boom!

The two powerful Spiritual Energies finally collided with each other in front of everybody's astonished eyes. An incomparably fierce Spiritual Energy was formed between the two of them, and like a wave, it swept out in the surroundings. The surrounding floors seemed to have been struck by some powerful object, as large pits appeared within everyone's sight.

Countless astonished gazes stared at the two Spiritual Energies. As the flaming Spiritual Energies spread out, the figures within the auction house all retreated, staying far away from the spot where the flaming Spiritual Energies had erupted out, fearing they would be affected.

"Roar!"

Only then did he barely manage to resist against the powerful flame energy. At the same time, he clenched his hand tightly, and a white light surged out from the surface of his skin, swiftly dissolving the flame energy that had invaded Gu Lin's body.

Compared to the battle with Li Fan, Li Mu was much stronger, and was also at the half-step sage realm. Li Fang didn't have the ability to make him into such a sorry state, and if it wasn't for the success of his "Lesser Saint Body" cultivation, he probably would have had to use all of his trump cards just now in order to resist.

"Kid, don't you look down on our Li Clan? You're still cultivating our Li Clan's spirit arts, how laughable! "

This was the Li family's unique ancient spirit art, and this spirit art was related to an extremely important secret. If this boy were to know about it, perhaps even he would not be able to obtain any benefits from Li Chao Han. Thinking up to this point, the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger.

Moreover, what shocked him the most was that this boy, who was only at the great circle of the Spirit Gathering realm, had actually unleashed such a powerful force. That Vermillion Bird Ancient Sword just now, even half-step sage experts at the same level didn't dare to receive it head on. This boy not only accepted it, but also retreated a few steps back without any injury.

You like to use the [Big Dipper Seven Flames Array], right? Then let me show you what is called the true "Seven Fiends Northern Flame Formation" — Li Mu took a step forward, and a low roar rang out from his throat. Violent Spiritual Energy surged out, and the temperature in the surroundings instantly increased; there were actually five ghost-like beast fires circling above his head, and judging from the fluctuations emitted by the flame Spiritual Energy, it was actually several times stronger than the one Gu Lin had used before!
