Chapter 236: Slap to Death!
"A mere Heart-Devouring Gu, and you think you have a hold on me?" Lin Mu said scornfully. "Dao Wuming, I truly don’t know if you’re too stupid or just too conceited."
Dao Wuming’s face filled with resentment, but he still wanted to make one last effort. "Lin Mu, let me be honest. If you join the organization, the benefits will be immense. But if you insist on going your own way, it won’t do you any good."
"Are you threatening me?" Lin Mu’s eyebrow twitched as a powerful aura suddenly erupted from him.
BOOM!
Dao Wuming instantly felt immense pressure crash down on his shoulders. His legs gave out, and he fell to his knees.
"Lin Mu, do you really want an endless feud with the organization?" Dao Wuming gritted his teeth. "This is a lose-lose situation, with no benefit for either of us."
"You think far too highly of yourself, and you overestimate your Dark Web," Lin Mu said as he stood up, an innate majesty radiating from him. "I never bow to threats, nor am I afraid of them."
He looked down on Dao Wuming and said flatly, "If anyone dares to threaten me, I’ll simply kill them."
"Fine! Fine! In that case, don’t even think about leaving here today!" Dao Wuming sneered and roared, "Men!"
BANG!
The private room doors were blasted open, revealing Glasses standing at the entrance with a large group of men. These individuals were all powerful, their faces brimming with murderous intent. In the shadows, numerous other assassins also lurked.
All sorts of weapons were trained on Lin Mu.
Having dared to invite Lin Mu, Dao Wuming had naturally come prepared.
"Lin Mu, I’ll give you one last chance!" Dao Wuming retreated behind the crowd. "Join the organization, and we’ll be family. Otherwise, this day next year will mark the anniversary of your death!"
"Cut the crap. Since I dared to come here, I’m obviously not afraid of whatever backup you have planned," Lin Mu said, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Dao Wuming without a trace of fear.
"Kill!" Since matters had come to this, further words were useless. Dao Wuming immediately gave the order.
"Heh, today, I want to see for myself if this so-called Martial Arts Grandmaster is as powerful as the rumors say!" Glasses took off his spectacles, and his aura suddenly surged.
Internal Energy Early Stage, Mid Stage, Late Stage...
It didn’t stop, continuing to rise until it reached the Internal Energy Peak before gradually leveling off.
This man, Glasses, was actually an expert at the Internal Energy Peak!
"Allow me to introduce him. This is Yuwen Jing. His master is one of our organization’s Martial Arts Grandmasters." Dao Wuming wore a confident smile. "Lin Mu, the power of our organization is beyond your wildest imagination!"
"Dao Wuming, you talk too much," Yuwen Jing said, cracking his neck. "A Grandmaster? It’s not like I haven’t killed one before. Today, I’ll show you what true power looks like!"
"Kill!"
At Yuwen Jing’s command, the powerful Martial Artists charged toward Lin Mu, their auras exploding.
"You think this trash can kill me?" Lin Mu shook his head slightly and flicked his wrist.
SWOOSH!
The business card in his hand, wrapped in spiritual power, shot out like a sharp blade.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!
In the blink of an eye, three Martial Artists had their throats slit.
"Guh..." The three men clutched their necks, but blood gushed out from between their fingers. The sneers were still frozen on their faces as they slowly collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
The expressions on Yuwen Jing and Dao Wuming’s faces changed.
"Manipulating objects with energy?!"
Both were experts of the Martial Way and naturally understood what this meant. This was the true hallmark of a Martial Arts Grandmaster! It proved that Lin Mu was indeed a genuine Martial Arts Grandmaster. Moreover, killing with a business card was something no ordinary Grandmaster could do.
But Lin Mu’s attack didn’t stop there. Under his control, the business card seemed to have a life of its own. Carrying an endless killing intent, it mercilessly reaped one life after another.
THUD!
As the last man fell, only Dao Wuming and Yuwen Jing remained in the entire private room.
"Well, well, it seems I misjudged you!" Yuwen Jing took a deep breath and said coldly, "But don’t get ahead of yourself!"
"Do it!"
The moment Yuwen Jing spoke, Lin Mu sensed a subtle fluctuation in the air. His expression flickered for an instant before returning to normal.
SIZZLE!
A beam of energy shot from behind Lin Mu, aimed to pierce straight through his body. But with a flicker, Lin Mu dodged it preemptively.
BOOM!
The beam of light struck a pillar, silently boring a hole the size of an arm straight through it.
"A Laser Weapon!" Lin Mu revealed himself in a corner, a hint of surprise on his face. He hadn’t expected the Dark Web to possess laser weapons.
"How... how is that possible?" Seeing that Lin Mu had actually dodged the laser weapon, both Yuwen Jing and Dao Wuming’s faces changed drastically. This was their true trump card. Within the organization, these weapons had all been tested against real Grandmasters and were proven to be capable of inflicting serious harm.
"In my eyes, these toys are all flash and no substance." Lin Mu chuckled softly, his figure vanishing on the spot.
"AHHH!"
A moment later, several shrill screams echoed from the shadows.
TAP, TAP, TAP.
The sound of footsteps followed as Lin Mu walked out from the back of the private room, holding two heads. On the decapitated heads, their eyes were bulging and their features were twisted, unable to rest in peace.
THUD!
Lin Mu casually tossed the heads aside and clapped his hands. "Alright. If you have any other tricks, now’s the time to use them."
Dao Wuming and Yuwen Jing exchanged a look, seeing the terror in each other’s eyes.
How could Lin Mu be this powerful?
It wasn’t that they had never seen a Martial Arts Grandmaster before; Yuwen Jing’s own master was one. But none of them were as strong as Lin Mu.
Unafraid of the Heart-Devouring Gu and faster than a laser weapon... was he even human?
"Lin Mu, I..."
Before Dao Wuming could finish, Lin Mu waved his hand impatiently. A surge of power shot out from his palm.
SLAP!
Dao Wuming spun in place as his head flew from his shoulders.
PLOP.
His body collapsed to the floor, blood pooling around it. The esteemed head of the Dark Web’s River City branch had just been slapped to death by Lin Mu.
Now, only Yuwen Jing remained.
At that moment, not a trace of confidence remained on his face—only pure terror.
Even Dao Wuming had been slapped to death. This guy is terrifying! With that thought, Yuwen Jing didn’t hesitate for a second and turned to flee.
"Trying to leave now? Don’t you think it’s a bit late?"
Just as Yuwen Jing rushed out of the private room, an indifferent voice echoed from behind him.
"No!" Yuwen Jing shrieked, his Internal Energy erupting from his body as he accelerated, trying desperately to escape.
"If I let you escape, wouldn’t my title of Grandmaster be a complete sham?" Lin Mu smiled faintly and struck out with his palm.
Feeling the force of the wind at his back, Yuwen Jing’s face filled with despair. Just as Lin Mu’s palm strike was about to kill him, an exceedingly hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
"If you kill him, I guarantee you’ll suffer a fate worse than death!"
