Chapter 500 - How High Was His Cultivation?

Chapter 500 How High Was His Cultivation?

The most stunned person was still the “old immortal” himself.

He had noted that Li Mu was an expert with high cultivation, but he never knew that his cultivation could be that high. With just a few words, Li Mu put him down as if he himself was the law, leaving utterly no room for the old man to bring his power into play…

How high could Li Mu’s cultivation be?

“Sir… who are you on earth?” The “old immortal” was quite courageous. Though his knees were smashed, he gritted his teeth and did not cry out in pain. Instead, he raised his head with difficulty and looked up at Li Mu.

Li Mu said, “You don’t deserve to know it.”

However, at this moment, something suddenly occurred to the “old immortal”.

Four days ago, there was a tragic case in the Wulin at the entrance of Randeng Temple in Mount Shaozu.

It was said that dozens of martial arts experts went to investigate the whereabouts of the old fraud in Randeng Temple who had stolen the dragon skeleton. But they were crushed and killed by a teenager named Li Mu. Moreover, the teenager also warned that people in the martial arts society were no longer allowed to enter Mount Shaozu, nor could they do any more evil in Baoji City.

When the news spread, it caused quite a stir in the martial arts world.

After all, the few people who died in the incident were considered to be experts in the Wulin World within the three provinces in the northwest. Among them, Zhang Yunfei, who was good at swordsmanship, was particularly famous. Yet, it was said that he failed to fend off the young man’s every strike and was seckilled in the battle. For that reason, the incident had attracted the attention of many martial arts masters and sects.

Moreover, the stories that Li Mu could catch bullets with his bare hands and use his mind to block gunshots were very popular in the masses.

The comments on the incident given by the members of martial arts society varied.

But there was one thing they all agreed on— the teenager named Li Mu was perhaps very strong, but the stories about he catching sniper bullets with his bare hands and so on was an exaggeration of propaganda.

Most people believed that the major martial arts clans and forces, who had suffered a great loss at the entrance of Randeng Temple, deliberately exaggerated Li Mu’s strength in order to make them seem less embarrassed and incompetent, in case they were ridiculed by their peers.

After all, the whole thing about catching sniper bullets with bare hands sounded uncanny.

That was not something that a human being could do.

But now, thinking about what just happened— the teenager made him kneel on the ground with one sentence— the “old immortal” started to believe that he was perhaps really able to catch bullets with his bare hands.

“You are… Li Mu, the God of Killing?” He asked in horror.

A hint of surprise showed up on Li Mu’s face.

“God of Killing? Haha, this nickname is not bad. Kill my way to the dawn… Wang Shiwu and Su Yutong are friends of mine. If you make things difficult for them, you are making things difficult for me. Which sect are you from? How dare you turn a deaf ear to my warning?”

“Er…” The “old immortal” lowered his head and said, “No, we dare not. We didn’t even realize…”

“I don’t want to hear such a pointless and ridiculous explanation… Tell me, which sect do you belong to?” Li Mu pressed menacingly.

By this time, everyone else in the room was also completely frozen in their spots.

Wang Zhen and Bai Ru were not particularly surprised to see Li Mu cast his power. After all, they had seen Li Mu’s miraculous skill of bringing the dead to life. So, the scene they just witnessed was fairly normal to them.

What shocked them was that Li Mu, when facing the enemy, was a completely different person. Instead of being as easygoing as a boy living next door when he was with them, he became absolutely dignified and cold, as if a high-level creature overlooking a low-level life form. The others could not defy his will at all.

Ma Zhen and his father screamed wildly in their minds. They had realized that they might have made an extremely stupid and incorrect decision today. “But what should we do now?”

“Why are the ‘old immortal’ and his disciples unable to deal with this little boy at all?”

“Li Mu, the God of Killing?”

“What kind of title is this?”

In today’s society ruled by law, how could people murder others without being held liable like in martial arts novels? Did the phrase “God of Killing” really sound formidable? In the past, the people in the room might think the title too silly and laughable, but now, who was still in the mood to laugh?

Su Yutong’s parents and second aunt were also in a blank state of mind.

Things kept taking turns.

No one ever expected that the Wang family also had such a powerful backer.

And it seemed that in front of this young man, Young Master Chen and his lot were not worth mentioning at all, didn’t it?

“What should we do now?”

As for the other guests who came to watch the scene of bustle, they had all fallen silent and dared not make any noise for fear of attracting the attention of Li Mu or Young Master Chen, which might cause the two powerful men nursing a grudge against them.

The horror and regret the “old immortal” was feeling was totally beyond description. He dared not disobey Li Mu’s words and hurriedly said, “I am Ling Hezi, an elder of the True Spirit Sect, one of the Seven Sacred Sects.”

“The Seven Sacred Sects?”

Something stirred in Li Mu’s memory.

At the entrance of Randeng Temple, he had killed a disciple of the Star Observing Sect, one of the Seven Sacred Sects. And Fan Zu’ang was a disciple of the Holy Speech Sect, also one of the Seven Sacred Sects. According to Fan Zu’ang, the Seven Sacred Sects were the seven top sects in the country and held the top position in the domestic cultivation circle.

Anyway, what did that matter?

In front of Li Mu, the so-called “Seven Sacred Sects” were nothing but paper tigers.

“The disciples your True Spirit Sect cultivate are just this kind of rubbish? In a public place, they attempted to kill ordinary people who don’t know martial arts. Haha, I say, the deemed one of the Seven Sacred Sects is just a place to hide the filth.” The killing intent in Li Mu’s heart was quietly flowing.

After returning to Earth, the thing he couldn’t tolerate the most was the cultivators bullying ordinary people with their strength.

The martial arts forces on Earth did not focus on how to protect the country or carry forward the inheritance but bully the weak, treat human life as if it were worthless, ignore the law, and believe that they were above all the others. They harbored quite a sense of superiority, sought benefits from the ordinary, and bargained with the country for their own interests…

Those people were scums in the martial arts world.

And it was unnecessary for such a sect to exist.

After the battle at the gate of Randeng Temple that day, Li Mu had made up his mind that once he met such kinds of people, he would not show any mercy. He would definitely storm the enemy’s den and wipe them out.

“I know, for fear of me, you dare not say anything now. But as long as I am gone, you will perhaps secretly deal with the Wang family, and Brother Wu and Sister Tong, won’t you?” Li Mu asked, staring at Ling Hezi, Chen Shaohua, and the others.

“No, no, we dare not.” Ling Hezi hastily said.

Young Master Chen and the others were magically banned from speaking, but they still looked like they were trying to defend themselves and plead for mercy.

But who knew what they were really thinking?

Li Mu sneered and said, “I’ve seen too many despicable things like you… But how can a worm like you know what I’m capable of? Well, today, I’ll give you a chance. If anyone of you can survive my Brother Wu’s one attack, I’ll let you leave unharmed.”

With that, he raised his hand.

Four streaks of green light shot into Ling Hezi and the other three people kneeling on the floor.

In an instant, something incredible happened.

The four men’s knees that had been broken were completely restored. The fragmented bones were perfectly healed, and there was not even a red mark on their skin at all.

The four of them felt that the pain in their legs disappeared in an instant. Their knees were in unprecedented comfort. The strength inside them had also recovered and no longer under Li Mu’s control.

“This is…” Chen Shaohua looked at his legs and was finally able to speak.

Li Mu had demonstrated a power almost as incredible as deity.

After that, Li Mu turned to look at Wang Shiwu and Su Yutong. A smile appeared on his face as he said, “Brother Wu, haven’t you just mention that you want to practice martial arts and become a martial art master? Now, I will teach you some simple entry-level Qi-refining methods to open the ‘Sea of Qi’ for you, so that you can really embark on the road of cultivation.”

As he said, he flicked his finger, and a scarlet light popped out from his fingertip and zoomed into Wang Shiwu’s chest.

Before Wang Shiwu could react, bursts of crackling sounded in his body, as if beans were bursting in a frying pan. Countless acupoints in his body were buzzing. That was extremely bizarre to watch.

At the same time, all the others saw layers of visible cyclones and airflow revolving around Wang Shiwu as the warmth of a fire quickly spread throughout the whole room.

“Tong, my sister-in-law, please stand aside,” Li Mu said to Su Yutong with a smile.

“Ah? Okay, okay.” Su Yutong drew a distance from her beloved man.

Wang Shiwu’s skin suddenly became hot and scarlet, as if it were dyed. But soon his skin color returned to normal. After all these strange phenomena faded, Wang Shiwu seemed to have changed from inside out, though he still looked the same. That made people feel quite eerie.

“Gosh, is this… the process of cutting the hair and washing the marrow?”

When Ling Hezi saw this, he couldn’t help but shriek as if he had seen a ghost.

Chen Shaohua, He Fei, and He Yu did not understand what Li Mu had done, so they did not think it was a big deal. However, Ling Hezi had cultivated for many years, so he had a sharper vision than the three.

That previous scene showed a golden opportunity that everyone in the martial arts world would die for. Even loads of geniuses never encountered such an opportunity. Nevertheless, Li Mu, the God of Killing, did it with just a flick of his fingers. In such a short time, he made a person who knew nothing about martial arts and had no foundation in martial arts remold himself?

“What kind of skill is this?”

Huge waves of emotions surged in Ling Hezi’s heart once again.

Li Mu did not speak.

“What I just performed is the real Body-Cleansing Skill of the Immortal’s Practice. How could a low-level skill like the cutting off hair and washing marrow be compared to it?”

“Brother Wu, you just need to perform the military boxing you’ve learned before,” Li Mu advised. “Give them each a punch. If they can resist one punch of yours, I’ll let them leave.”

Wang Shiwu was a little hesitant. “Emm… Tong is already back by my side. Why don’t… let go of this?”

He was indeed a kind young man.

Li Mu said seriously, “Brother Wu, I might as well be bold and give you a lecture today. Kind people are bullied. Tame horses are ridden. They have insulted your parents and Sister Tong. This Chen Shaohua has even tried to kill you… Remember, to indulge the bad guys is to harm good people. A man should refrain from the bad deed but not the right action. Also, remember this, don’t forgive the bastards easily, because they are not worth being forgiven. Did I make myself clear?”

This could be considered as his confiding in his future brother-in-law.

Honestly, the reason why Li Mu did this was not to show off. He did it for deeper consideration.

For one thing, he hoped that before the world headed for the darkness, Wang Shiyu’s family could have the ability and mentality to protect themselves. After all, Li Mu could not always stay in the Wang family as a bodyguard. One could never know how sinister the human race could be, especially those in Jianghu. Who knew whether the sect behind Ling Hezi and the others would bear with the insult for some time and then find a chance to retaliate? So, what Li Mu did was just to deter the True Spirit Sect.

For another, he intended to reveal his strength to the domestic martial arts society in this way, so that those idiots would understand how much the title of the God of Killing weighed. That would prevent some ignorant forces from pestering him like flies… In a word, that was also a move to deter the entire martial arts world.

It could be said that he had expended much care and thought on the matter.
