"Not returning to base until death!?"
Seeing Lu Ze's message in the public chat, Guo Tianyin was furious.
This guy was way too arrogant!
In the Immortal-Demon Canyon, purchasing equipment required returning to the fountain.
"Not returning to base until death" meant the opponent would be stuck with their current gear until they died.
Was Bai Mu's equipment really that good?
At best, he had three items—a relatively cheap assassin set!
If this kept up, in just 10 minutes...
No!
Five minutes!
That would be enough for Guo Tianyin's team to catch up in gold!
Right now, the entire economic gap between the "Slaying Immortals to Prove the Dao" team and the Lingxiao Sect team rested solely on Bai Mu.
This meant—
If they held out for five more minutes, their equipment would be on par with the enemy's!
Besides, not returning to base meant no health or mana replenishment.
With just Doran's Blade and Blade of the Ruined King for lifesteal, a few rounds of skirmishes would wear him down!
Having thought this through, Guo Tianyin quickly replied:
[Heavenly Seal Venerable: You said it yourself—no takebacks!]
[Bai Mu: Begging for death. If I die even once, I’ll AFK.]
[Heavenly Seal Venerable: Deal!]
Guo Tianyin’s eyes gleamed with excitement, and the rest of his team’s morale reignited.
On one hand, they genuinely saw a chance to win.
On the other, Bai Mu’s taunting was downright infuriating!
"Brother Bai… isn’t this a bit too much?"
Zhou Yue was baffled.
Why would Bai Mu suddenly make such an absurd declaration?
"Relax, even if I die, I won’t actually AFK. Just messing with them."
Lu Ze shrugged nonchalantly.
He just wanted to provoke their competitive spirit so they wouldn’t surrender early, allowing the Lingxiao Sect elders to wipe them out in one go.
Besides…
Lu Ze didn’t believe he would die.
Bullying noobs? That was his specialty.
"Just farm minions. Leave the killing… to me."
……
……
If the first few minutes of Bai Mu’s debut were the most electrifying match Zhong Yi had ever commentated on, then the five minutes following Bai Mu’s "not returning to base until death" declaration became the second most exhilarating moment of his career.
A massacre.
A breathtaking, flawless massacre!
Every shadow Bai Mu unleashed carried an edge of lethal precision.
One dazzling play after another left no room to blink.
It reminded Zhong Yi of that reclusive rogue cultivator who had recently vanished—the one known as [True Lord Yuelun].
His signature technique, [Triple Lotus Strike], was something even he couldn’t pull off flawlessly every time.
Yet Bai Mu executed it effortlessly.
Every time he activated his ultimate, it was an instant [Triple Lotus Strike]—one-shotting his enemies.
How fast was it?
Zhong Yi had to channel spiritual energy into his eyes, using a pupil technique, just to keep up with Bai Mu’s movements!
The worst victim was the Slaying Immortals’ ADC, Kog’Maw.
Every time he showed himself on the map, he became Bai Mu’s prey.
"Oh? Kog’Maw has respawned! Bai Mu timed it perfectly—just finished clearing the wolves and is already rushing to farm Kog’Maw!"
"Pantheon is sticking to Kog’Maw like glue this time, determined to protect his carry!"
"What!? Bai Mu just cast [Shadow Dance] on Pantheon instead!?"
"Such insane shadow-swapping!!"
"The moment Bai Mu landed, he teleported back to his original position using his shadow clone! Pantheon’s stun—completely whiffed!!"
"Good heavens, Bai Mu had already unleashed his skills before the stun even hit!"
"Kog’Maw is on the verge of death again—just a sliver of health left!!!"
"By the heavens! The stun ends, Bai Mu swaps with his ultimate shadow, appearing right in front of Kog’Maw… that blade strike is the grim reaper’s scythe!"
"Kog’Maw is down! Kog’Maw is down again!! Pantheon also explodes from [Shadow Dance]’s delayed damage!"
"Aatrox and Lee Sin arrive to counter-engage… but are they already running away the moment they reach the scene?"
"Can they escape? No chance!!"
……
Zhong Yi’s commentary was electric.
Lu Ze’s Zed mechanics were simply too fast.
Anyone else would’ve struggled to keep up with his plays in real time.
Leaving a shadow clone behind, then casting his ultimate…
Getting jumped by Pantheon, shadow-swapping mid-stun while precisely landing shurikens and a sweeping slash—
All of it happened in a split second.
Too fast. Too terrifying.
To the audience, it looked like: Bai Mu went in, Bai Mu came back, flickering between shadows.
Then, out of nowhere, Kog’Maw and Pantheon both dropped dead.
Without Zhong Yi’s breakdown, most wouldn’t have understood what just happened.
[“Shadow Celestial” has gifted “Ten Thousand Swords Return” in the livestream!]
Suddenly, the skies above the canyon in the stream transformed.
Countless spectral blades rained down in a dazzling display.
[Shadow Celestial: This "Bai Mu" is a rogue cultivator? Consider joining our Shadowveil Sect! Let us explore the Dao of Shadows together!]
"Oh? Even the sect master of Shadowveil is stunned by Brother Bai’s skills!"
Zhong Yi raised an eyebrow.
Then, another “Ten Thousand Swords Return” gift effect lit up the stream.
[“Nine Swords” has gifted “Ten Thousand Swords Return” in the livestream!]
[Nine Swords: What backwater sect is this? Never heard of it… Bai Mu’s Yasuo is decent. Why not join my Infinite Sword Sect as my personal disciple? We’ll discuss the Dao of the Infinite Blade daily!]
The feud between Li Jiujian and Bai Mu was well-known.
That day in "Bed Wars," Li Jiujian had been killed by Bai Mu eighteen times in a row.
Rumors said Li Jiujian had been hunting for Bai Mu’s real identity ever since.
So when this message appeared, the chat erupted.
[Personal disciple? More like personal torture!]
[Nine Swords’ schemes are so loud, I can hear them from the Abyssal Continent…]
[Bai Mu, you’re in danger!]
[Damn, is the illusion realm this advanced now? Play well and get sect invites…?]
[My lords, the times have changed!]
……
Amid the chaos, another “Ten Thousand Swords Return” gift flashed.
[“Genius Cultivator” has gifted “Ten Thousand Swords Return” in the livestream!]
"Haha, since you seniors are so enthusiastic, I’ll join in… Brother Bai, if you’re interested, I’ll personally recommend you to our Lingxiao Sect! Top-tier resources, guaranteed!"
Zhong Yi laughed heartily before refocusing on the match.
Right now, the two who had rushed to help—
Lee Sin, battered to near-death, was fleeing into the jungle.
Aatrox had been chased all the way to the high ground by Bai Mu and died under the turret.
Bai Mu’s health, after consecutive fights and a tower shot, was now critically low.
"Since Bai Mu declared ‘not returning to base until death,’ he’s become an unstoppable reaper, securing 12 consecutive kills! His score is now 19-0!"
"But his health… is hanging by a thread!"
"This might be the Slaying Immortals’ only chance to claim Bai Mu’s bounty…"
"Heavenly Seal Venerable is charging in… Wait!"
"Guo Tianyin's face is contorting... What's happening!? Is he transforming??"
"How did he turn into [True Lord Yuelun]? That reclusive rogue cultivator who vanished without a trace??"
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.

I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!
