Chapter 434 -403: Defeating the Enemy with a Flick of a Finger_1

“Die!”

In response to Xu Mu’s nonchalant demeanor, the man in the golden robe couldn’t help but seethe with anger. He coldly uttered a single word and thrust his longsword, now transformed into a beam of golden light, rapidly towards Xu Mu.

Even though he was not particularly proficient in swordsmanship, he confidently believed that taking down Xu Mu with a sword was more than enough. He could always dismember Xu Mu afterwards.

The woman along the side refrained from intervening. Despite Kang Fuxing’s unusual behavior, she believed that they could easily handle Xu Mu together even though he was quite young and seemed rather harmless.

Kang Fuxing, who was sitting on the side quietly practicing his martial method, felt his heart sink as soon as he saw the man and woman in golden robes. He was somewhat acquainted with the pair and was aware of their strength.

Though he wasn’t particularly close to them, he knew that they were part of the high tier of the League of Martial Artists, and their skill and strength surpassed his. More importantly, they had a mastery of the joint strike skill; if they were to combine their power, they could go toe-to-toe with a stronger opponent.

While they were stronger than him, they were only one tier above. They were high tier War Kings, and could remain undefeated even under the Martial Emperor’s palm if they combined their powers.

Kang Fuxing was in despair though because he had faced off with Xu Mu and was clearly able to sense Xu Mu’s strength, which was even above that of a Martial Emperor.

Now, would they be able to compete with Xu Mu, who was stronger than a Martial Emperor, despite being just equal to one while striking together?

I was being overly optimistic, Kang Fuxing thought to himself. The news of Xu Mu’s presence had only reached the County City Martial Alliance, and the strongest martial artist in the Alliance, the grandmaster, was not even a peak level Martial Emperor. Unless all the experts from the County City Martial Alliance were present, there was no hope at all.

Having come to this realization, Kang Fuxing let go of the little hope he was clinging onto. He deftly pretended to be oblivious to the two golden-robed figures, and continued his quiet martial practice, in fear Xu Mu would notice him.

The outcome of the golden-robed pair was now set.

Yang Jiang, who was by Xu Mu’s side, couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. Even though both of the members from the League of Martial Artists carried intimidating presences, having seen Xu Mu’s abilities firsthand, he was confident Xu Mu wouldn’t lose, even though killing the two seemed unlikely.

Now they just had to wait for Xu Mu to take the two down. Then he could appeal to Xu Mu’s emotions and reason with him, emphasizing to Xu Mu just how powerful the League of Martial Artists was, and that might convince Xu Mu to leave.

With the talent Xu Mu had displayed, he just needed to bide his time for a few decades. Then in the future, at the very least, he showed the potential of achieving the rank of a Martial Ancestor.

A Martial Ancestor would be deeply respected in any country, and Xu Mu could even establish a new life for them in Da Xia Nation.

Although Yang Jiang had pledged his allegiance to Xu Mu, he was more attracted to his potential, rather than believing Xu Mu could single-handedly take down the entire Da Xia Nation. After all, Xu Mu appeared too young to have the strength of a Martial Saint.

The four martial artists from LeFeng City couldn’t help but regret their decision. They also believed that Xu Mu could win, but they quickly suppressed their feelings since they had already made their choice, and they had seniors in their families who didn’t allow them to take risks.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ergou showed a hint of excitement. This time, he managed to withstand the pressure and improved a lot, making Xu Mu proud.

While everyone was harboring their own thoughts, the golden-robed man’s sword was already in front of Xu Mu’s face.

The longsword, like a dragon leaping out of the sea, stirred up an intense storm. Xu Mu did not dodge. He calmly sat there with an indifferent look on his face, seemingly unaffected by the sword strike.

As the tip of the sword was about to hit Xu Mu, he flicked the tip of the sword with his finger.

Bang!

The longsword was instantly deflected, its blade bent and its hilt causing the arm of the golden-robed man to go numb.

The man stumbled back until he collided with a wall; the longsword in his hand shattered, and he spat out blood. He stared wide-eyed at Xu Mu, his gaze filled with disbelief.

The shock felt by the audience, including the four LeFeng martial artists, was no less than that of the golden-robed man.

Although they expected Xu Mu to be stronger than the golden-robed man, seeing Xu Mu easily deflect a sword strike with a single finger and send the man flying was a bit too exaggerated.

“How…how could you…”

Even as the golden-robed man expressed his astonishment, Xu Mu finally stood up and slowly walked towards him, his face still bearing an expression of calmness.

“Yin Wen! We need to join forces!”

Faced with the gradually approaching Xu Mu, the golden-robed man began to feel fear. He quickly called out to his ally, hoping to fight Xu Mu together again.

But this was not time for righteousness to rule the roost, and his earlier arrogance had completely dissipated.

“Okay!”

Upon hearing the golden-robed man’s call, Yin Wen snapped out of her shock, her expression tense. She didn’t seem careless or mischievous anymore.

After witnessing the golden-robed man being defeated by Xu Mu with a single finger, her contempt for Xu Mu was instantly eliminated. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Now, she finally understood why Kang Fuxing was dutifully scribbling away at his paper. He must have been defeated soundly by Xu Mu previously.

At this point, she didn’t care about capturing Xu Mu for interrogation; she just wanted to retreat safely. She decided in her mind to seek expert help after returning.

Smack!

The moment the golden-robed man took a step forward, Yin Wen, as if receiving a signal, unsheathed dual blades and threw herself towards Xu Mu.

What Yin Wen didn’t know was, the golden-robed man’s face turned red as soon as he took a step forward and he froze in place.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to coordinate with his counterpart and attack, it’s just that he was unable to move any further. Half of his body had suddenly gone numb, and he was already exhausting all his strength to keep himself from falling over.

And so, what should have been a seamless joint strike between the two, ended up being a solo attack by the woman, who didn’t even realize the discrepancy.

Faced with the incoming woman, Xu Mu extended his finger once again. At the same time, a large, vague figure materialized behind him, and together with Xu Mu, they pointed towards Yin Wen.

This point swept across like the first ray of dawn piercing the clouds to illuminate the earth. The shadowy figure’s finger struck Yin Wen later than Xu Mu’s, but still made contact first. Yin Wen abruptly stopped in her tracks. In the next moment, she felt a mighty force rip through her body. Her body was hit by an invisible hammer and she was sent flying uncontrollably.

Ultimately, Yin Wen painfully fell to the ground, coughing up blood, immobilized. Meanwhile, Xu Mu still remained standing in his original place, as if he had never moved. The shadowy figure looming behind him made a majestic and awe-inspiring spectacle, exerting a palpable pressure on everyone present.

A deathly silence filled the area, with everyone holding their breath. The only sound to be heard was the labored breathing of Yin Wen, who had just crashed onto the ground, echoing in the air.

How could a human form a beast spirit?

The magnificent figure that Xu Mu had manifested shattered everyone’s understanding of training and exceeded their imagination.

Probably only Zhang Ergou, who did not understand the underlying implications, felt that Xu Mu was invincible, making him want to kneel down in awe.

Xu Mu, unaware of the shock he induced when he showcased his unique skill, calmly looked at the golden-robed figures.

“Do you want to die or live?”

Upon hearing Xu Mu’s question, the expressions on their faces contorted, but they remained silent.

“If you want to live, jot down all the martial methods you know. If not, I’ll end you here.”

“We practice unique martial methods from the League of Martial Artists, we can’t…” the woman tried to argue, but a single indifferent glance from Xu Mu, filled with coldness and murderous intent, shut her up.

“We’ll write!”

And so, two more people joined the quiet nook.
