Whoosh!

A fireball was shot from Xu Mu’s fingertip, fell in front of Li Moqing, and exploded with a bang, splattering dirt and leaving behind a hole the size of a bowl.

“Friend Xu, what do you mean by this?” Li Moqing stopped in her tracks, her face looking grim.

Tell the person behind you to leave. He’s not welcome here!” Xu Mu said indifferently.

Li Moqing’s face changed slightly, and she forced herself to remain calm: “Friend Xu, 1 don’t understand what you mean!”

Xu Mu, uninterested in engaging in idle chatter with her, shot another fireball that instantly broke the Invisibility Technique of the man behind him.

A young man with a murderous expression, dressed in a mage robe, and with vengeful eyes, revealed himself!

“If you had pretended not to know, maybe you could have survived. Now, you can only die!” The young man’s voice was cold as frost.

Before his words fell, a flaming longsword flew out from his storage bag and shot at Xu Mu.

“I have a word for you too: if you hadn’t engaged me in battle, I would have chosen to ignore you. Since you did, now you are doomed!” Xu Mu said.

With a flick of his finger, fire elements rapidly gathered in front of him. In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a flaming flying sword, which collided with the young man’s red longsword.

Both swords were entangled in the air, and for a moment neither side could gain the upper hand.

“Fire-controlling Skill? Qingjiao Sword Jue? How is this possible?!” The young man was incredulous.

He wasn’t surprised that the opponent knew the Qingjiao Sword Jue. After all, the technique was widely spread.

Not only the Qingjiao Sword Jue, but several other swordsmanship of different cultivation sects were also not unique secret skills, especially at the Qi Cultivation Stage.

What really astonished him was that the flying fire sword, which Xu Mu had condensed using the Fire-controlling Skill, could hold its own against his tier three flying sword.

This was beyond his imagination!

Just how far had this man trained his Fire-controlling Skill?

Could it be the legendary Transcendent Realm?

How could there be such a carefree person in the world who would train a low-level skill to the Transcendent Realm?!

Xu Mu had no interest in the young man’s shock. Controlling his flying sword engaged in combat with the opponent, he suddenly made it explode!

Boom!

The young man’s tier three flying sword was directly blasted away, falling to the ground with dimmed light, emitting a buzzing sound. But it couldn’t fly up again.

“Damned! This sword can actually be used like this!” The young man was once again struck with astonishment.

Before he could summon a new flying sword, Xu Mu had disappeared from the rooftop. When he reappeared, he was above the young man’s head, a tier one flying sword clasped in his hand, ruthlessly chopping down.

Bang!

A white glow emanated from the young man’s body and blocked Xu Mu’s attack from the sky.

However, under the strong force, the young man was still placed high into the sky, knocking down a wall on his way.

“A tier three defensive magic artifact!” Xu Mu frowned slightly, but his feet didn’t stop. The ground vibrated, and his figure disappeared once again.

“Get him!” The young man yelled.

Li Moqing, who had been standing there stunned, finally recovered. Clenching her teeth and looking vicious, she forcefully slapped her storage bag, and several green flying knives sprung out and turned into streaks of light, shooting like lightning towards Xu Mu.

“Ignorant!” Xu Mu said indifferently.

He stretched out his fingers as if grabbing something from thin air, conjuring a towering bloody flaming python.

The python opened its huge mouth, revealing sharp fangs, shooting like an arrow towards Li Moqing. The flying knives along the way were struck aside.

Terrified, Li Moqing was caught off guard and hastily cast a Body Protection Skill on herself.

By then the bloody giant python had flown to her side, its body twisted avoiding the symbol attack, and wrapped her up along with the protective aura!

Crack! Crack!

The formidable emergence of binding power triggered the Aura to flash fiercely, and it shattered with a loud noise.

Only when the giant python had wrapped her up did Li Moqing feel an intense heat like molten lava.

“No…ah…”

Li Moqing twisted her face and screamed out only once before she was burned into a heap of black charcoal in the blink of an eye.

Although this sounded long, it happened in just two breaths of time.

If he hadn’t had to divide his attention, dealing with a Qi Cultivation third-layer like Li Moqing would have taken less than a breath.

The young man felt no sorrow for Li Moqing’s death. Taking advantage of Xu Mu’s momentary distraction, he quickly slapped several talismans on himself and instantly turned to flee.

If he revealed all of his hidden trump cards, he might have had a chance to kill Xu Mu, but that would have completely exposed him and the pursuers would soon follow.

So as soon as he realized Xu Mu was a formidable foe, he decided it was better to escape.

“Run now? Dream on!”

If he had already struck, there could be no witness left alive.

He certainly did not want someone to be thinking about him all the time from the dark.

Boom!

Xu Mu’s figure vanished on the spot!

With a muffled sound of thunder rumbling in his ears, the young man just felt a lightning flash before his eyes, and his body was uncontrollably chopped into the sky again.

Just as he was about to get back up, another sword fell!

The aura emitted by the protective artifact fluctuated violently as if it was about to shatter in the next moment.

“Spare me! Spare me! I’ll leave immediately; I’m from the Song Family…”

Crack!

The flaming longsword in Xu Mu’s hand tore through the void, finally breaking the protective artifact. Before the young man could finish his sentence, half of his body was cut open.

“Thinking of leaving now? Why didn’t you do it earlier!” Xu Mu coldly said.

He didn’t want to invite trouble, so he warned the other party to leave.

But instead, the opponent tried to silence him by killing him, so why should he show mercy.

“This tier one flying sword is too useless! It took three strikes to break open!”

Looking at the flying sword in his hand that twisted and deformed due to the excess force, Xu Mu couldn’t help but complain.

When he first achieved Perfection in his Thunderbolt Sword Skill, he was able to destroy a tier three protective amulet with a single strike.

Now that his Thunderbolt Sword Skill had reached the master level, it still required three strikes to break through the tier three defensive magic artifact.

Although defensive magic artifacts are far more powerful than talismans, the gap in power is too vast.

A good sword boosts the Thunderbolt Sword Skill greatly!

Maybe if 1 had used the Gold Sword, two swipes would have ended the battle.

But to avoid revealing too much, Xu Mu dared not use it.

Even the Fire-controlling Skill was utilized cautiously, otherwise one flurry of fire swords could have burned the two to ashes.

He gathered the bodies and the fallen flying sword, swallowed a Qi Replenishing Pill to restore his Spiritual Power, and returned to his rooftop lookout.

His gains would be reviewed later when he had a bit of free time!

“The young man was only in his twenties but had already reached the sixth level of Qi Cultivation. He must be from a powerful family.”

“He mentioned the Song Family, so he must be one of them.”

“It’s a pity 1 didn’t have a photograph in the information I gathered, so 1 don’t know which young master of the Song Family he is.”

“What 1 never expected, however, was that the Song Family would end up being the target of annihilation.”

Xu Mu sighed internally.

The Song Family used to be the local tyrants of White Stone City, second to none and able to dictate life and death over loose cultivators.

The Song Family Pharmacy alone made a fortune daily, which made him extremely envious.

And just like that, they were exterminated!

His thoughts shifted back to the Clear River Sword Sect.

Compared to the Clear River Sword Sect, what was the Song Family really worth?

The world’s situation changes rapidly, who knows what it would look like next?

While deep in thought, three late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators rode their flying swords towards him at an incredible speed.

Xu Mu’s face subtly changed.

“It’s here!”

The three descended from the sky, one of them holding a compass-like Magic Artifact declared.

“Excuse me, fellow cultivator, have you seen a youth in blue passing by here?”

One of them, a short old man in his sixties or seventies, politely asked Xu Mu, who was standing on the roof.

“He went in the direction of Baihe Forest.” Xu Mu replied indifferently.

“Thank you for the information! Let’s go!”

The old man turned to the other two.

In the instant he turned, a needle as thin as a cow’s hair shot out from his sleeve, silently aiming at Xu Mu.

Clang!

Xu Mu’s longsword sweeps horizontally, knocking down the hidden black poison needle, his face a cold mask.

“You actually detected my Scorpion Tail Needle, there does seem to be something off about you!”

The old man turned back, his face unusually cold in the moonlight.

The other two immediately divided into two directions, surrounding Xu Mu, their flying swords hovering on their sides and their body protective lighting flickering.

“All! I really didn’t want to provoke troubles and showed mercy, yet you insist on courting death!”

Xu Mu sighed.

He truly didn’t want to cause trouble.

“Courting death? Huh! You’re the one who’s going to die! Hand over young master Song Gui immediately and we will give you a painless death!” scoffed the old man.

They had three late-stage Qi Cultivators all battle-hardened, while their opponent was merely a mid-stage Qi cultivator, dreaming of killing them was simply preposterous.

What’s more, after they had waited for so long, they had finally caught a big fish and there’s no way they would let go easily.

This youth is an important figure of the Song Family and must have treasures on him, among all of which, the Foundation Establishment Pill might be what they were coveting for the most.

For this, they were willing to kill a thousand suspects rather than let one guilty party escape!

Xu Mu was too lazy to argue with them. To avoid leaving survivors, he formed signs with both hands, instantly congregating hundreds of blood-red flame flying knives and shot them at the three men simultaneously.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

ii

Such trickery…”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment the flying knives got close, they exploded violently. The raging flames engulfed the three men, who were looking horrified, in an instant.

They probably never dreamt that the Fire-controlling Skill could be so powerful.

When the dust settled, the three men were now well-cooked chunks of meat. All their storage bags had shattered, their contents scattering, most had turned into ashes. Only one or two Magic Artifacts laid on the ground lifelessly.

“The power of the Fire-control skill has noticeably improved. Few Qi Cultivators can resist it, but it’s a shame for what happened to their belongings!”

Sometimes, too much power can be counterproductive.

He sighed, returned inside to prepare to leave this place with three adults and a kid.

The commotion was too big just now, it probably already caught the attention of others. If Luo Family discovered anything, it would be troublesome.

Although the chances were slim, Xu Mu didn’t want to risk it.

The three people hiding inside the house didn’t know what happened outside, they only heard a loud explosion.

When Xu Mu called them out, seeing the ruins around them, they were all too shocked to speak.

Lan Shijin looked at Xu Mu, her eyes filled with disbelief.

But she was tactful enough to not ask too much.

Leng Yuening remained silent as ever, Ye Yingying was only concerned whether Xu Mu was hurt. Only Little Ling’er wanted a hug from her Dad when she saw him.

The poor neighbors whose houses were demolished didn’t react to the commotion. They would rather be buried in the ruins than make a move!

With a wave of his hand, a fire dragon was released, destroying the house they’d lived in for over a year. Xu Mu took the three adults and a child and quickly disappeared into the night.

It was only a while later that someone stuck their head out from the ruins to see what had happened.

They walked a great distance and finally found a derelict house near Baihe Forest to stay in for the night, waiting to meet the Chi Family the next day.

The chaos in White Stone City lasted until the next day, with a major explosion occurring at one point. No one knew what caused it.

The slum area was also affected, many places were reduced to ruins, many lives were lost overnight.

The next morning, while the three were grooming and feeding Little Ling’er, Xu Mu sneaked into the next room to sort out the items he gathered from Song Gui of the Song Family.

As for the bodies, they had already been burnt to ashes by him!

Ready to go!
