Suddenly, Lin Mu leaped, his entire body springing towards Lingmu, and at a distance of about two meters from Lingmu, Lin Mu launched a punch.

Lingmu saw the fierce approach of his opponent, took a step back, then leaned forward and swung his fist to meet him.

Boom, the two fists collided, producing a heavy thud, and a wave of air burst forth from their fists, dispersing around. The two men stood there, fist against fist, with Lin Mu in mid-air, while Lingmu was grounded. Their little universes alternated, ebbing and growing, intertwining with each other.

"Roar..." Lingmu let out an angry roar, channeling a massive surge of inner strength through his arm towards Lin Mu.

Lin Mu also concentrated inner strength into his fist, clashing with Lingmu’s force. With a loud bang, Lin Mu flipped back in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground, while Lingmu took two steps back, barely maintaining his balance. Looking again at Lingmu’s feet, ten centimeter deep footprints could be seen.

After Lin Mu landed, he casually clapped his hands. Lingmu let out a cold laugh; although he was at a slight disadvantage earlier, it was almost a draw. While he couldn’t defeat Lin Mu alone, being on the Jushi Association’s territory meant calling a few ninjas to help might be enough to take down Lin Mu.

"Heh, is this all you’ve got?"

Lingmu let out a cold laugh, looking at Lin Mu. To Lingmu, Lin Mu was nothing much, as if he’d overestimated him before. But after this test, this so-called super expert from Huaxia was nothing special!

Lin Mu laughed upon hearing Lingmu’s words, "Little devils, I’ve got plenty more moves up my sleeve! As for you little bastards, daring to show off with just this much skill?"

"Hmph, Huaxia people love to boast, indeed. That’s all I have, but I can still take you down." Lingmu looked at Lin Mu and clapped his hands. Instantly, two ninjas in black appeared behind Lingmu. They were clad in black ninja outfits, holding ninja blades, as if they had stepped out of a cartoon show.

"Heh, bringing in more reinforcements, huh? Two enough?" Lin Mu shrugged indifferently.

"Two is plenty. Our little exchange just now was me probing you. Too bad, I’m disappointed. I thought too highly of your strength. It’s hard to believe you could even enter this gate, let alone face Hatanaka Futoshi! If Hatanaka Futoshi shows up, you wouldn’t even have a chance to escape." Lingmu said, looking at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu, impatient, arrogantly cursed, "Damn it, you stupid little devils, you really talk a lot of shit, you believe I won’t smash your mouth with one punch?"

"Heh, Huaxia people do love to boast, come on then!" Lingmu provocatively taunted without humility.

"Damn, you son of a bitch." Lin Mu cursed, too lazy to waste another word with the little devils, he leaped, like an arrow leaving the string, charging at Lingmu.

This time Lin Mu attacked with both fists again. Having tested with a single hit earlier, Lingmu didn’t hesitate to punch back. Meanwhile, the two ninjas beside them seized the opportunity to attack, determined to kill Lin Mu in one move!

Lingmu even doubted how someone so ordinary could have taken down the cunning Uro Iji? It was truly baffling! However, Lingmu’s carefully devised theory was about to be proven painfully wrong, and he felt he’d slapped himself in the face. No, it should be said Lin Mu gave him a solid blow!

Lin Mu suddenly attacked, Lingmu collided without hesitation, then felt his fist injected with a powerful force of inner strength, penetrating his bone marrow and surging into his shoulder’s muscles. Whew, it was an excruciating pain!

Lingmu leaned back, hit by a punch from Lin Mu, and simultaneously Lin Mu swung his left hand in the air, heavily slapping Lingmu across his face, sending him flying back like a broken kite. Puh, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, under the lamplight, it looked like a colorful rainbow!

"Ah..." Lingmu lay on the ground, emitting painful wails.

The two ninjas, seeing this, didn’t bother dealing with Lin Mu. They quickly ran to Lingmu’s side and swiftly pressed his chest twice.

Only then did Lingmu slowly stop his pained cries.

Lin Mu grinned at Lingmu, "How does it feel? Not bad, right?"

"You... you..." Lingmu looked at Lin Mu, panting heavily, eyes filled with incredulity. The previous exchange had been fairly ordinary, so why was there such a vast difference this time? How did Lin Mu unleash such massive energy? This energy was beyond his wildest imagination.

"Heh, surprised, huh? I told you you’re dumb, but you didn’t believe it. Last time I was only using 20% of my strength, but just now I used 80%, got it? You’re barely at 20% of my power at most. If I used full strength, you’d be done in one move." Lin Mu smiled arrogantly.

Lingmu frowned deeply, realizing he fell for Lin Mu’s trick. But even so, Lingmu was greatly shocked, knowing that Lin Mu had used only 80% power just now. If he went all out, that would be terrifying!

At this point, Lingmu couldn’t care less. Since the opponent came knocking, that means they’re well-prepared. So the Jushi Association could only brace for the strong enemy!

"Go!"

Lingmu could no longer attack, but he could still speak. In such a situation, his subordinates had to act. A ninja whistled, and instantly four more ninjas appeared beside Lingmu. Adding the two from before, there were now six ninjas in total.

Lin Mu didn’t underestimate the strength of Jushi Association’s ninjas, having faced them before. Their formations and fighting spirit were not to be underestimated, and their numbers were many. Lin Mu was not entirely confident of victory, having to adapt to the circumstances.

However, Lin Mu wasn’t too worried about what his opponents could do to him, given he was protected by the Black Qi Divine SkillVajra Scripture, and he had already taken out some ninjas. The Jushi Association wouldn’t have many left. If things got out of hand, he’d have to use the Black Qi Divine Skill to fight to the end, though that would cost a lot of Primordial Qi, making a confrontation with the powerful Hatanaka Tairou challenging.

Of course, if the ninjas were to fight him one-on-one, Lin Mu was confident he could take out dozens of ninjas. But if they all came at him, coordinating in various formations, it would be difficult. So with only six ninjas appearing now, Lin Mu wasn’t too worried, feeling fully capable of handling it.
